    Housing is 14, Adventures 15, dungeon 18 iirc(might be 20). Housing and group stuff is definitely good. Leveling is awful.

    Dark Souls 2

    Yeah if you hit a wall you lose some durability, pretty annoying when using low durability weapons like katanas and rapiers and fighting in close spaces. Might be a bug with corpses specifically though don't know.

    Might be hard to find a spot for a large farm, but it's easy to find spots for small farms. I would assume at some point they'll open a european server so a lot of the stuff would disapear once the taxes aren't paid, but don't think they have other plans otherwise.

    DOTA 2

    Well I don't know how much they're winning, they do have to spend a lot of money on the venue, advertising and shit like that. They do get quite a lot of money back from the compendium, tickets to go to TI and dota shop stuff and obviously they get money all year long from cosmetics and what...

    Well the blinks were movement abilities but the dodges had invuln frames(the blinks too in fact, just shorter and moving you instantly over long distances, similar to the mage dodge in neverwinter). It's really the same system, only that in Tera no class got fucked by having sprint as their...

    Black Desert

    You know for a game that still doesn't even have a hint of coming to the west, I find there's a lot of noise surrounding it, more so than any other korean mmorpg I can think of(before they were announced to be ported that is). I don't mean just here but like on reddit and shit there seems to be...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Early game it's a bit hard to maintain but yeah eventually you can just more or less permanently lock time. The main annoyance is missing day specific quests early game, especially since a lot of the shit is also time sensitive(NPCs only spawning at night and shit like that). It's a fairly...

    That's how Tera did it, a long time before Neverwinter. Every class had slightly different mechanics, Lancers could block all damage with their shield, Berzerkers could block some damage with their 2H weapon, Warrior could dodge on a very short cd(or on no cd after the rework I believe), Slayers...

    Should open these coin purses, they give good xp and you can randomly get a ton of gold from them. There's a screenshot on reddit of people getting 89golds from one and another getting 800golds(assuming that one isn't photoshopped, not sure didn't follow the thread). Unless you're keeping them...

    DOTA 2

    Trilanes have been extremely "fluid" though lately. Generally you start with the trilane and if it's not contested, one support goes in the jungle doing random shit and other harass, then gank and so on and often the carry ends up 1vs1 from 5mins on which is fine due to the level and early item...

    I don't think it was that bad. Unless by tutorial you mean 1-49, then yeah it's pretty bad. The tutorial area isn't really that bad otherwise, it's fairly short and has quite a bunch of story stuff mixed in plus basic tutorial shit. Maybe it was too long but eh, it's only like 5-10mins. The fact...

    Game so far is extremely reminescent of Witcher 2, but worse on every aspects. It's not too bad, but it's not good either, combat is floaty and clunky at times, engine has some good stuff and then some horrible stuff(light/shadows are super fucked sometimes), lip syncing is obviously awful as...

    Depends on how many people are doing the quest, when I did the quests it was only giving 1star each because it was being done a lot. But yeah if they're not being spammed, it might be better.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah he fell off quite a bit, his win rate wasn't that high last patch anyway. Still see Ember+Elder Titan together though, combo is pretty brutal but people have kinda learned how to deal with him better and they counter pick him badly too.

    DOTA 2

    That too yeah, but the Sand King jungling change is the big aspect for him. Being able to farm a blink in early game while not stealing xp/gold from your other cores, with the meta generally being 2-3cores heavy already, that's a pretty big deal. Also gets xp from it obviously, so that's good...

    To add on what Zaphid said, a new patch just hit like last week, so for now a lot of teams are still experimenting changes and shit. It'll stabilize in another month or so. Current trends aren't too different than they used to be, as trends tend to be fairly cyclical. There's a come back of...

    If you don't want to camp shit, running cotton from Felrith Plains to Tigerspine mountain takes like 5mins and should give 1star, need 200cotton per run so you need several farms and potentially grow some cotton outdoor too, shit's cheap and hard to spot from afar so if you plant say 600cotton's...

    If you go Defense/Auramancy/Archery, you basically have nothing to do a good deal of the time other than autoattacks, but you're kinda setting it up that way. Those 3 are the classes that don't have any fillers and mostly long cooldowns. Archery generally goes with Shadowplay though which adds...

    Hearthstone

    I didn't mean to say it's a bad card, it seems pretty nice especially in any decks that make use of whirlwind in the first place. But it's not much like a swipe and it's not a counter to yeti(not more than arcanite reaper is at least, so that's not a very useful property). It definitely looks...

    Hearthstone

    It needs to be used twice to do the swipe effect though, which is like a shitty delayed swipe. It's like the "answer to yeti" thing, but only if you play it on 4 when going first and you swing on that turn, including face, so you can actually kill the yeti they play on their 4 and if you're 2nd...

    DOTA 2

    Well as I said, you're also forced to go forward. If say your carry who's on high ground hitting T3 tower eats an arrow, SD just disrupt then guy runs out. If you have tuskar instead well sure you can snowball, but you're snowballing into the fucking base. And yeah, grouped together, so you...

    It's more like GW2 than Tera, with telegraphs on everything. If you haven't played GW2 well it's kinda like wow but without standing still(well not too much, still has stand still shit) and with telegraphs. Basic mmo combat with more movement and lots of aoes with telegraphs, as opposed to...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The PC numbers aren't that low for skyrim, but the only official figures(the 14% ones) show physical copies sales only, which for PC is a lesser amount of the total sales. Estimations are between 5 and 7.5m of steam users having the game, so 25 to 30% of the total sale numbers, which is around...

    DOTA 2

    Well there's SD's Disruption, longer range, creates illusions, can be used offensively and doesn't force you to move into a weird direction after using it. I mean for all intents if your goal is to use it defensively, SD is a fuckton better. Offensively though Tusk's snowball has a lot of cool...

    Tusk snowball makes people invulnerable, Lasso is just a stun. If you stun LC oviously the duel still goes, if you make the target invulnerable(snowball but also SD disruption, OD banish, enemy eul and such) then well, it won't die. There's definitely a fuckton of weird mechanics, but not...

    Sentries was really easy for me, got it on 3rd try or so, first try figure out the room and the fact there were 3, 2nd fucked up badly with 2sentries down and 3rd was an easy kill without flask. Didn't dodge shit, just block everything, hit once when it's safe, 10mins fight or whatever but eh...

    Fucking european/US conversion on GMG, it's 25euros because obviously 25euros is 25$. Still, that's like 75% off a 60euros "normal" game, so a pretty fucking good deal even if the game isn't great. Picked it up.

    Valiant Hearts: The Great War

    It's WW1, the title is pretty obvious about it, since The Great War is WW1. In terms of gameplay, I think it'll be maybe a bit like Trine or so, multiple characters and platform/puzzle/combat mix, not too sure but it seemed to be kinda like that, maybe more action oriented hard to tell on the...

    It's crafted, and you need a small scarecrow to craft it and a house to place it I think. Make an alt, do the scarecrow quest and see if you can drop it. It's carpentry btw, so probably need some lumber too. If your farm is in a shitty spot I'd consider another spot that's close to a teleporter...

    There's some videos on youtube already and reviews will only be available on the release day because of review embargo nonsense as usual. Doesn't look to be very good, probably a game you buy when it's on sale unless you really have nothing else to play at the moment, kinda like Kingdom of...

    That's why you play the one class with 3 interupts(warrior I think it was). Fuck interupt armor, interupt all the things! But yeah the interupt mechanic is fairly prevalent from what I've seen in dungeon design(maybe also in raids) which means you'll need at least one other competent player in...

    No loot PvP, not even gold(or well I didn't try looting gold so maybe there's some). Can pve/pvp only, but the gear is mostly crafted, so you need gold, which kinda requires either grinding quite a bit or growing stuff. Growing is mostly planting shit and checking it again 12hours later(if...
