    Hearthstone

    Moonfire can be ok. Moonfire+hero power is 2dmg on 2, which isn't terrible. Basically, it's 2damage for 2mana and 1card, with the caveat you need to actually attack shit, but it's not like super super awful. It's also early, maybe you get a drake or a geomancer and it becomes better. Or hell...

    Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians - From FF Tactics and Vagrant Story designer

    FF6? Simple consistent story, single villain(easily one of the best villain in a video game ever), unique characters. No time travelling, no alternate dimension, no deus ex machina/conscience of the universe/fate as an entity or whatever the fuck they've been using since then. FF6 is very simple...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Since TESO can't be modded I think in 10 years morrowind would look even better. Not really relevant though since this is a mmo. Their fog looks too foggy though, clear day screenshots seem to look ok but as soon as it's foggy weather or whatever, can't see shit. I mean that's the fog concept...

    Thief (2014)

    Bumping this thread since I stumbled upon some news I had missed that sound pretty good. Basically, they have a customizable "difficulty" setting where you get to select a bunch of options to change certain aspects of the game, such as removing upgrades, removing HUD, removing checkpoint...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Well there's Grimrock 2 coming out sometimes this year, which looks a lot better than the first one, which was already pretty good. There's also a bunch of kickstarter projects, not tile based stuff but like old school PC RPG, like Planescape Torment/Baldur's Gate. So bunch of stuff coming...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Well you can edit the penalty in the files to be 0, so you hit for full damage with bows, it's justifiable by the fact your archer could be shooting from behind your tank, or by the fact casters don't have any penalties. Even then though bow/crossbow damage is fairly bad vs fully speced melee...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Oh so sounds fairly pointless then, good. So you can play without doing most of that shit without too much of an issue I guess? By the time I get the game I doubt anyone will still be playing so wondering.

    Btw since I haven't bought a 3DS yet and probably won't for a while, what's the code shit/villagers thing do? Is it necessary? Is it like pokemons where you exchange skills/classes?

    Accents tend to be not used on capital letters, but can be. So it would be Agn?s but in all caps would turn into AGNES. Might be simply technical limitations, a lot of stuff can't actually display capitals with accents. As to why change the name, not sure where you found the name(the demo...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Well the dark elves ambushes kinda make sense, the blackguard ones very much less so. One thing on difficulty that I found very interesting is, they have a fairly large file of traps locations, but they're not hooked or not functional I don't know, so you actually never have to care about...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Yeah Vorph you can actually do that easily with casters if they crit with GM focus. It's quite a bit stupid imo and ruins the last sequence which is otherwise fairly interesting. That said if you have an optimized group it's not challenging anyway so not a big deal to skip it. The game is really...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I'm not sure what animation locking has that makes it not action combat. Fighters(SF4, Smash Bro, Marvel etc) all use animation locking as their core, Demon souls/Dark Souls and such use animation locking, in fact a lot of action games use animation locking because it looks better. You press a...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Animation locks is what differentiates Tera's combat from everything else that's normally compared, not the fact you have to aim at things. Wow had aiming, albeit on a very small amount of abilities, but shit like cone of cold and shadowflame(I think?) and you had pbaes like frost nova and...

    Lifetap is nice but there's what is it, gloves or chest, that gives like a pretty good %, vampiric something. That said if you have a GM water/earth in your group, healing is more or less useless. Only thing that "hurts" are spells and regen or nurture covers that easily. Relentlessness...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The exact percentage would be about the same as GW2. It's more or less the same, and you can see that from streams. Very few skills that require you to stand still, most of the skills are cooldown limited, some classes do have secondary ressources though(which doesn't make it close to Tera since...

    Hmm when I checked it with my 4mages group I couldn't get it. Maybe you need hybrids? I had an elf so that's not that, I don't know.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Well that's the thing, you can rework everything via triggers, that's why technically the WC3 "engine" has very few limitations. You can easily make the bounty for last hits 0 though, and then add constant gold, or remove gold entirely, and I doubt making xp global would be that hard since...

    The shops actually sell lategame weapons, including seahaven which specializes in swords. There's stuff that's like dragon sword or whatever the fuck, they're worth like 14k which is quite a bit, but they have the maximum damage range in the game, so if you find one that had a good proc or like...

    Heroes of the Storm

    The thing is, "teamfights" don't happen from the start either in this. There's 2 lanes, and people are split between the 2lanes. They insist multiple times in the various matches they've shown that you want people in both lanes to maximize xp gains, then you want people to go down the mine(on...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Well in the last video(maybe it was posted here I'm too lazy to check) they said the game was pretty much ready for beta but they were making sure they had the infrastructure to support the load. So I guess not too far off, even though I assume the chances of getting in will be very small...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Implosion does more dmg on enemies with less low health I believe, it's a good finisher but a terrible opener, and it's "single" target. Chain lightning does ok damage if mobs aren't resistant, at least at master(at GM it rapes). I just used my GM water to do damage though, blizzard mostly, and...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Shouldn't you change it to 0? Malus is a penalty, increasing the penalty means you'll do even less damage, unless it's using a weird way to represent the value. As for the lost city key, you shouldn't change it unless you actually get the bug, which as mentionned is probably by dropping the...

    Actually I mentionned this before cause I had the same issue. After a few posts on the forums about it, someone mentionned that there is actually a reset button in the room. Right when you enter on the right side, there's a lever you can activate that resets the thingies. I haven't actually...

    Archeage

    The F2P shit sounds really bad but as long as a) they don't go F2P right away or b) have a sub system which removes ALL the issues with the systems, I'm ok with it. Not sure they'll launch with F2P stuff. Hell I'm not sure they'll launch with that patch either, when they port shit it tends to be...

    Hearthstone

    I think Doomhammer is best when you're doing 4dmg per turn to the enemy. When you start swinging at anything with more than 2 attacks with it it tends to be the slippery slope to getting fucked 1-2turns later. Also suffers the same issue as earth elem, it fucks your turn 6, and turn 6 is a big...

    South Park Stick of Truth

    The gameplay video that was posted last page that I only noticed today definitely made it looks a lot more interesting than I expected. Wouldn't mind paying normal price for a decent combat RPG with south park writing so definitely will(or well, assuming I'm not playing anything at the time).

    DOTA 2

    I've had a few even games, rest tends to be lopsided, but then again so were the normal games. It's just how dota goes. A lot of time though people draft super awesome combos then fuck it up by not farming properly or buying the wrong items(like not buying arcane boots when you don't play a int...

    Yeah never seen that. As for the relic dagger, it's a caster weapon, because fuck dual wield daggers or something. There's a couple of fairly big bugs, going to the crag before getting the quest from after lost city generally blocks progress in the main quest, TPing out of the runepriest closed...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Here's an idea. Casters are too frail to carry much loot, so they can only loot and carry 1 item at a time. They can ask their warrior friends to carry their loot for them instead. If you hate this idea, you want an easy mode wow game fuck you for not wanting a true social experience.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    I wouldn't GM dark, think it's kinda weak, expert is really good enough since purge and sleep don't scale. I guess if you use agony it might be worth it but you'd need 2 dual wielders and one being a dagger for it to be worth it I think. Dark itself does like no damage. For a support Freemage...

    Hearthstone

    Druids don't really care about having to kill something on turn 2 since most druids are control oriented. Mages depends on the type of mage but a lot won't care too much. Warlocks can mortal coil, warriors can cleave, shamans can fork(but that's not really bad for you if they fork turn 2)...

    Well I haven't played in a while but in my "standard" rogue I removed them yeah, think I added some loot hoarders but that was pre engineer nerf. Defias doing very so so stuff and being fairly shitty if you draw them later too. But it's not a bad card by any means, I just stopped using it cause...

    Hearthstone

    I actually removed my defias and even when I had them I stopped coining them most of the time. Often one of them die instantly on the turn after, even if they don't one of them die the turn after, and that early damage is rarely useful. Prefer to keep the coin to combo shit like SI7 or perdition...

    I've personally stopped increasing magic at like lvl 20 when I figured the dmg gain is ridiculously small compared to what you get from GM anyway, so I'd rather have spirit. I went 1vit 3spirit from then on until the end, think I had 40magic at the end(from doing 2magic 1vit 1spirit for a while)...

    There's a dwarf only and orc only area, however they're for promotion quests and don't really add much of anything other than a few mobs. I haven't done the orc only area actually so not sure if it's big or what, the dwarf one is fairly big and has quite a lot of elite mobs so it's a lot of xp...

    Only freemages get dark. As for learning skills, everytime you level you can put points in stuff you don't know as well, 1pt in a skill=you can use it, there's no need for a trainer. Trainers are only to unlock expert and higher.
