I'd put money on Holden being written by the other writer in the collaboration; Miller shows all the Abraham hallmarks - 100% believable, 98% a horrible and depressing person.

Be ruthless in sacrificing cards for two new cards, especially shit like poison aura. You don't have to keep all your totems alive, so focusing defense on 3 of them will still get you the win. One of the benefits of growth is that if he has a super buff creature that is going to rip you a new...

He's not right at all. Hera-is and Zeus-dios were just added to the JP side to provide challenge for the people who have been farming since release. They are also limited dungeons that rarely show up. Complaining you can't farm them the first time they show up is first world problems to a...

Having one of green odin or amaterasu can be very useful for working your way up to good teams. If you had to pick one god though, I'd take one of the greek or norse r/g/b gods or parvati. They let you cover the vast majority of dungeons easily, only leaving out things like valkyrie and zeus...

I don't actually use it, but I'm not aware of Steam's offline mode having a 'heartbeat' - as far as I know, you set it up once per game and it stays like that permanently.

I'm not sure they have any choice - great wolf, ragged wolf, brother of wolves and mangy wolf make up most of the starter deck. I went growth as well and I have bought 4 of the 10 packs and still don't have any kind of customization I can do on the deck. I have 60 growth cards now, but that is...

Hmm, this was an easy pre-order, saint's row 3 is one of the most fun games I have played.

Elantris is noticeably weaker than his other books, but it's still good, and is self contained, so there's that.

The Clone Zone is going to lead to hilarious shenanigans.

Be warned it is not a beta, it is not an alpha either - it's an alpha of a demo. There's a few minor details to implement - like saving, or doing anything other than the tutorial.

You can't buy PVE cards, so I'd assume the drop rates from pve would be relatively generous to avoid burnout. The way they have it set up is each dungeon/raid having it's own loot table, so should be decent opportunity for variety. There's no info on how many PVE drops there are from a given...

Absolutely - it was totally the 'right' or 'good' thing to do - it was not, however, the 'lawful' thing to do. That's pretty much Ned Stark all the way - he does what he thinks is the right thing, regardless of whether it fits his code of honor - like lying about being a traitor to protect his...

Mm, maybe - you can farm pve cards and trade/sell them for pvp ones. I expect that to likely be a better way of getting more pvp cards than any of the other $250 bonus, exluding pro of course, although even pro in the first year ( given DC gets free draft as well for the 1st year ). Given the...

Alignment charts are almost always terrible*, and I realise that's the point - but Ned Stark led a rebellion and civil war in the name of personal vengeance and set up one of his buddies as a pretender king. He's also a liar and an oathbreaker. He'd be lucky to qualify for neutral good, lawful...

It's not exactly a common genre, most horror being supernatural in nature, it makes for an odd fit with sci fi. Blindsight is the only one that sprang to mind immediately. There's a few others that could be argued such as: The Atrocity Archives, Charles Stross The Doomsday Book, Connie...

Shrug, if they do one season as good as heroes s1, then I will be happy regardless of what they do with it afterwards.

A Gen show is like a Fedor spoiler - kitten, kitten, hot chick, kitten, ohmygodwhatthefuckman. Heh, I like Chamber - 'yep, totally propaganda, don't believe that shit' ;p

Old, but I thought it was pretty funny :

Baaah. Took me another 20 drops, for a total of 54, to get valk done. At least I can declare poring tower conquered now ;p As for two valks - maybe. If you are doing a 9x healer team, the other healers have overwhelmingly shitty stats, particularly hp, so valk makes a good sub. I figure you...

After a five hour game, I can say no, they haven't fixed that problem. They also haven't fixed the problem where after playing for a while it becomes increasingly hard to target the right square in the tactical map, and the 'path' animation stops working. Juggernauts are still way...

Yeah, was a good run - the patent bit at the end was kind of cringe inducing though. You'd think they'd have at least *someone* on the staff who knew what a patent was.

Yes, I'd imagine they are pretty close once they have equipment, but - you can only equip maybe 3 cards out of your deck, and the kickstarters won't have the equipment for the random PVP cards to start with ( other than the dungeon crawler bonus items ).

Almost all the rewards that the higher tiers get are PVP cards. You can use them in PVE, but they are much weaker than real PVE cards, especially with no equipment. I don't think it will be a huge deal. Obviously this doesn't apply to the $5k+ deals that get a complete set of all cards, but I...

Yeah, this is some serious bullshit. Like 30+ stones to max an echidna bullshit.

I've only put in a couple of hours, but there are other fairly significant changes than hero levelling - one of the big ones is to the fundamental way combat works - in the newer version when you attack with a troop, all other troops adjacent to your target combo into the attack. It makes...

What's guaranteed to be in - an AH where you can buy/sell cards off/to other people with platinum, an in-game currency you buy with real money. What's currently engaged in legal wrangling - selling the platinum back to crypto for real money, i.e. 'cashing out'. This would make them a 'money...

Welp the "2x" skillup conversion got my poring hoard to: 25 marins = 3 skillups on Siegfried 8( 34 poporings = maxxed chuchu 35 drops = 5 skillups on valk 33 ghostrings = 2 max skill succubus Damn, I thought that volume of poring crap would be a lock for maxxing stuff. On the bright...

Yeah, DL is only partially useful as a leader because he is vulnerable to both dark and light bind, and you are going to get that from anything that needs either dark resist or light resist. DL is better as a sub for isis or horus teams though. ( Not so much mono dark and the like, as you want...

Just finished reading Digital Divide by K.B. Spangler. I picked it up partially as support for the webcomic ( a girl and her fed ) which I quite enjoyed - I was surprised though, the novel turned out to be an excellent book in it's own right. It's about one of the cyborg agents, who has been...

That's what they were aiming for yeah. WoM was rubbish. Fallen Enchantress made huge strides forward in playability/accessibility/non stupidity, but was still a bit rough around the edges. I will check out the new one, cause, hey, free stuff, and on steam.

Depends which 2/3rds it is and why the project was canned. If it was canned for being a pants on head retarded idea, for example, they might keep the developers building the engine and bring in a new bunch of idea people and artists. Another viable strategy would be to move off anyone who...

I had the same problem. Shiva/Ares doesn't have enough RCV and shiva/freyr doesn't have enough hp. I think I might give up on that one with adk team. I am up to 5 straight fails with dual anubis too - my alt accounts aren't having much luck ;p Main account has no problem though...

AI offload could have fantastic results for turn based strategy games, assuming there ever are any on the new xbox. It'd actually fit fairly well with a cloud concept too, where the decision making scales pretty well with available resources, the load is very intermittent and developers would...

I went in with dual anubis + shit on my loki team and made it to round 9 before failing to get a 10x and being 1shot by the angel. Probably doable if I didn't have such shitty colored subs ( I only had 9k hp total, but figured it was worth a try ;p ) Next try was mono red on adk team (...

Finished of Rithmatist - it started slow, but picked up a lot as it went along. It was definitely one of Sanderson's weakest books, but it was still pretty good. A heads up that it pretty much ends on a giant cliffhanger

Land fit for heroes.

Basically yes - if you are going to pre-calculate you may as well bake it into the map. It has some potential advantages though, in that it doesn't require the box you are playing on - you could, for example, start to pre-calculate stuff for the next level while they play the current one...

I went on full farm rampage. Overall results at the end were : 14 porings 25 marins 34 poprings 35 drops 33 ghostrings 0 angelings I alternated master and expert a bit to conserve stamina - as far as I can tell, if all you want are porings, then master is always better value than 2x...

You can skill it up with hobgoblins, so it's not really any worse than skilling up a siren.
