    Path of Exile

    well nothing directly. i was just using firetrap as an example of a remote skill you might have seen already. Then explaining, later you will find the "trap" support gem. that will let you turn ANY skill into a trap, like firetrap. Same for totems.

    Path of Exile

    support totems will drop later. level 30+ iirc. they are a support gem. you can get traps and mines in the same way. As well as specific totems. you probably have seen firetrap before? its a low skill. http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Spell_Totem remote mine, and trap are three...

    Path of Exile

    should also talk about mana for new players. Firstly, mana works like D2 mana. Mana regen is 105% of max mana per minute. or 1.75%/s. So a larger mana pool will increase your mana regen per second. Example. you have 200 mana. And then you have two passive trait options. +20% mana...

    Path of Exile

    yeah thats how skills work. You have skill gems. 3 colors. Blue, green, red. Blue gems are int based. green dex, red str. Which means they have stat requirements as they level up. A blue gem will require int to equip at increasingly large amounts. So any class can use any color gem, but...

    Path of Exile

    yeah, early game is just play/farm. you'll get some chance, alch, transmute orbs naturally. If playing with friends, you probably have a good chance to get drops. If not, might want to run solo a bit, from time to time. There is a timer on YOUR drops, but still forces you to dash for...

    If he doesn't like pve, he doesn't like PvE. Thats fine. Frankly, I hate the trinity. But won't really defend what they ended up with. Classes don't have the proper co-op interactions. We need more ally buffs, etc. Boons of +1% damage are shit. I like that game. But you can play a...

    That is just a storyboard. If your comic is just an animation still. you are doing wrong.

    Evil Dead Remake

    hindsight the smart move would have been to drop the name. do it original and have it be a love letter, like Cabin in the Woods. Although, maybe they couldn't have gotten the funding without the name.

    Just now figuring out how completely and utterly incompetent the entire crew seems to be? I'm dying here. that state of the game is hilarious.

    Where do you work? At home/studio. Freelance/HiFiDesign What do you do? Comic Colorist/Digital Painter What field/industry Comics/ Illustration. Wages? Comic coloring pays 50-125/page depending on client. (200 if you are a superstar, very few of those) I get in that first range...

    Well, now what?

    I think mmo's need to step back from this super focus on 1 character. You are the chosen one. I mean lets look at the situation. Perma loot. soul bind. free respecs, 1-80. Game starts at max level. All this wasted 1-80 content, never reused. etc. Diablo2. how many lvl 80+ chars did...
  15. Caliane

    Well, now what?

    im not sure about that. LoL isn't niche. I think there is potential for a mass market mmo. that is a bit diablo, bit Moba, bit Pokemon. obviously I said it before.. but each char has few levels. 1-20 maybe. perma death. So you start over every time it dies. ala a roguelike or realm of the...

    Well, now what?

    well, I would say the same thing that I did at the beginning of the 38 studios mess. Start small. We keep seeing these blunders because too many studios are aiming way too high. They aim high. Have to try and make their game everything to everyone. Run out of funds, and need to release...

    yeah. "Exploit early, and exploit often" is completely bullshit. and its crazy that other companies let that shit fly so much.

    wow. Skip metroid honestly. While it is the origin of so much. it really doesn't stand up that well. Metroid 2, or some of the metroidvanias it spawned would fair better. Zero mission of course on the GBA, pretty much is a perfect remake. (and this is coming from a metroid fan)...

    and yeah. Nesticle and Zsnes are the two big emulators still I think. Dunno if anyone ever made one that fixed the transparency thing in Zsnes.

    Castlevania 2 is basically the first metroidvania. It of course had more then a few giant missteps. Bad translation made it unplayable without a guide.

    yeah, they don't ban if you did it 4-5 times. They ban when you do it 50-1000 times.

    Guild Wars 2

    end game crafting recipes not using low teir materials seems like a GIANT oversight to me. (except for cooking of course, which does) Crafting Dusk should require you to farm the shadow behemoth or something. If the major bosses of a zone required DE's being pushed to spawn them, you...

    Gun control

    What they do and what they are supposed to do, is not the same. Hence we get that vid of the cop shooting himself in that classroom. My neighbor that shot off 3 fingers of his hand, duck hunting. VP Cheney shooting his friend in the face.. hrm, there is no drunk carry law is there? Edit...

    Gun control

    I wouldn't. I assume you have fired a gun. would you feel safe with anyone, civilian, or even a cop firing within a panicked crowd, in the smoke? I sure as hell wouldn't. How many people would get hit by friendly fire in that situation? Look at the military and how often they have...

    Gun control

    yeah, that Dark Knight theater shooting, or civilians with guns on planes, are two examples of, would have just made things worse. We don't really want MORE civilians armed. But at the same time, taking away the right of those that are, is a mistake imho. It is simply addressing a problem...

    Gun control

    Basically what a number of us have been pointing out. Raw overall stats don't mean much. you can't compare US to Australia or anything. you need to consider population density, poverty levels, and etc. I mean, if you cut Detroit, DC, LA, Louisiana, and Alabama out of the US average, the US...

    http://www.kongregate.com/games/unde...et-protector-2 "Raising sims" I guess. A variation on these, in concept. Although, obviously a tactical map, and loadout. Tactical sim, I guess.

    Random world doesn't make a rogue-like. I mean, are those princess maker, or whatever they are called roguelikes? Those text adventure games, you know. (not entirely sure the genre name for those) Click on a location, get random encounter. It has more in common with them. The fuel is...

    FTL is a roguelike? I dont think I understood that when I heard people talking about it. Will definitely check that out.

    Took some time to check back in on this. Its come a good ways since I lasted played it a few months ago. Still not DF yet, but its pretty far along the path now. its a pretty solid game in its own right atm. I would definitely recommend checking it out currently. A number of vids if you...

    Guild Wars 2

    That guildcast vid is very much correct on the end game outdoor pve be a large disappointment. Just like Rift, they seemed to completely fail at really taking advantage of that DE, or Rifts on a large scale. Guildcast nailed it, in saying, it should have required team work. Guilds...

    Guild Wars 2

    I was not aware you can't transmute them. are you sure of that? The blacklion isn't to bad. yeah its a rng. however, you CAN get keys in game. Pretty frequently via map complete. at level 10, 31, and 50 personal story completion as well. very rare random drop, and small chance on daily.

    Ultima Online - IPY3 release 2013

    this is the problem. a good full pvp system will have strong checks and balances. Jackasses don't like checks and balances. Safe zones and shit is of course the easy way. And certainly kindof cheesy. An ideal game would have reasons for older players to want to defend lower players. New...

    yeah, the gem store seems to be underwhelming. I want to be able to spend some cash in it, to have some cool costumes, pets, whatever.. You don't have a RNG in LoL when buying skins for a champ. And you can actually see the skins for the champ. I'm not really sure what they were thinking...
