    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    Games seem to take a fair amount of time but they're also pretty interesting, so balances out I guess. But yeah if you were playing aggro zoo/pirates/whatever in HS and wanted the 5mins win or concede games, there's definitely nothing that fast in this as far as I could tell. Most games play...

    You can also not use Arctic armor until you have some ways to do the things listed, since AA is not really super important to anything but endgame.

    Path of Exile

    Typical old CoC proc stuff was Cyclone, because it hits twice per attack and lets you move while attacking. I don't know about using a 2H, although it might be worth it, but generally a decent CoC setup in a 6L chest will work just fine too, and you can use a shield or dual wield for more speed...

    Yeah XI stuff is still a fucking mess. Might be worse now maybe even? Because now you need 2 sets of login/pass, one for PlayOnline like before, and one for Square Enix. When you log in, it asks you for stuff but it's vague enough that you kinda have to try both. God forbid you also have 2 step...

    The paperdoll evasion % is an approximation based on the average accuracy of monsters at your own level. Stuff that's higher has more chance to hit, lower less, but more importantly, monsters themselves are more or less accurate depending on the type of monster they are, plus potential modifiers...

    First difficulty is pretty easy regardless, it follows the usual diablo thing where first difficulty is kinda mash keys get loot, but further on it gets harder and you have to gear up, max your resists, get better gear and actually avoid shit/pick defensive skills to survive. Using veteran...

    Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

    I did post my opinions. It's ok-ish, priced right for what it is. Art is good, story is good, gameplay is ok to meh depending on what it is, the whole card game aspect is super limited and borderline useless; you can clear the game without doing any deck making things, every card you get is...

    With limited retainer space though it doesn't make sense to sell small amounts for some stuff. On the flipside, there's often small shares of popular markets to grab by simply trading retainer slots for quantity. I often sold stuff in pack of 2 3 5 10 instead of one stack of 20, and they'd sell...

    The Video Thread

    Never was a fan of Seinfeld, it was funny but don't know, I didn't like the pacing in many episodes or the setups for the jokes and I'd get bored. But honestly you know this shit would hold pretty well even if it's provocative, you still have shows like It's always sunny in Philadelphia or...

    Ah they organized that stuff nice. But yeah the discord has all those google docs/picture guides pinned usually in each class rooms, and the added benefit of it being a Discord is you can ask questions if you're unclear about stuff, last time I checked there were always people there to answer...

    Not sure that works Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers There isn't a good website for it. Maybe the one linked is good I don't know, but all the theorycrafting that seems to be done is generally on the Balance discord. Being a discord it can be a bit of a bitch to navigate, but the...

    Yeah I've read the priority to people on MSQ stuff, don't know if it's true but 10mins queue isn't bad at all for DPS for sure, I sometimes had close to 10mins on healer for old patch stuff when I cleared the story in 4.4. Getting CRP to 50 first is good for leveling crafters too, since Byregot...

    Oh I see. It is pretty shitty how it's setup and you see reddit posts every other day about people buying the wrong shit, so much that they have a bot explaining the licensing shit if you have steam and windows in the thread. Anyway I assume you could resell the key on Ebay or G2A or some other...

    Path of Exile

    Skeletons can be made to last a long time, but they're designed as spam cast summons, they move slow as shit and they don't actually teleport to you when you run too far. Skeleton gameplay is like SRS, Animated Weapon(the self cast version), Mirror Images and so on, it's meant to be recast...

    They can't do anything about the Steam/Windows shit. The versions are separate and they can't switch keys from one to the other I'm fairly sure. That said I don't get it too entirely a_skeleton_03, if you don't care about the old account you could just make a new one? And if you do care, how...

    Path of Exile

    One issue you have in general with the build is way too many points/items/skills that are caster oriented, when apparently you're making a minion build. Spell damage and such don't do anything for minions, and totems aren't minions(they're totems, their own category, and use your own stats for...

    Meh I just want to replay through the old story because it's been so long. Especially HW. They've had people ask for it for a while, being able to replay instanced fights and what not too. Shit doesn't change your level or anything, apparently it scales content up to your level, so it's purely...

    I only bought 2 games so far, 3 if you count the one I bought monday from Humble. Not planning on buying more for now, mostly because there will be another sale in a month anyway and these 3 games+whatever I already have should last me a while. There's a few more things I could buy because of...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    I was planning on doing the same thing, from my understanding Royal edition includes all the past DLC, I don't think it includes episode Ardyn which is releasing in a few months. Rest of the 2nd season DLCs were cancelled. If you want to play everything you might as well wait a few more months...

    Slay the spire

    Dropped about 10hours so far. Cleared the whole thing first try on warrior guy, took a few tries for rogue girl but robot guy is being a bitch. I've been trying to do mostly lightning builds because other stuff seems so so at low level(don't have all the bonus cards unlocked), but sometimes I...

    It's because of the clunkiness of macros, specifically the fact their archaic piece of shit system doesn't let you queue macros, so instead of having spells start casting earlier since the game lets you queue them if you send the order to the server .4secs before the cd is up or whatever it is...

    I got a free Assassin's Creed with my motherboard or whatever so I installed Uplay again, found my old info, logged in to register the game and apparently I own 3 different assassin's creed I never played. Pretty sure all free from buying PC stuff. I just don't really play these or other open...

    25% off sale atm on Steam, picked it up since I've been waiting for it to get on sale for a while, they skipped summer sale iirc. Game's pretty close to release from what I understand, so I figured there wasn't a point in waiting anymore. Played a couple of hours already, really like it.

    Yeah if they had the wow tech with phased walls it'd be a lot better so you can just walk in that shit and it phases you so it's all good. Phasing could do a lot of good things for this game but who knows how spaghetti the code is. They're at least making some efforts every expansion, next one...

    They definitely made a switch in terms of pacing with HW, and it gets a lot better, everyone says that really. The end of 2.x MSQs are pretty good, like the Nanamo stuff and shit, that was really hype before going into HW, but it's still kinda slow but HW cuts a lot of the bullshit. Even once...

    Was just referring to the part about SSF and prior to Delve, was more like prior to Incursion. On the actual changes for next patch, we'll see how it goes, I don't expect miracles for high tier maps unless they change their philosophy though, they've been pretty set on making sure people can run...

    The expansion before that Incursion had a fuckton of maps too in the temple shit.

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I bought a new bomb PC, and one of the first games I played on it was FFXI cause it had a callback campaign event shit. Feels weird playing a 18years old PS2 looking game on a brand new 2k PC. I didn't go for curved/ultra wide for my monitor though, wanted 4K shit since I don't care much about...

    The expansion is far away, but they still have a lot of shit to work on most likely. They're releasing it now because they can start testing stuff and because that part was already finished. Also probably an easier pill to swallow if it's available early than if they waited for 5.0 to release a...

    Lost Ark Online

    There's some missing classes still(although at this point it looks more like post release content stuff) so I think eventually they'll have more supports. Isn't too uncommon for korean mmos to launch with a single support then add another later.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The problem is unless they nerf shit heavily, they won't be able to both keep the quirks of Blue Mage skills affecting bosses(like how in the trailer he STUNS Shiva, which would be super broken in many encounters, imagine interupting long casts and shit, even if the boss starts recasting right...

    Underworld Ascendant

    Supposedly, the tutorial is really long and is fairly well done, that's the area you're probably in. It gets really shit after, but it takes a couple of hours to get through the tutorial(the cynics will say it's because it prevents you from refunding the game once you get past it).

    DOTA 2

    Slark got A LOT of buffs it seems, just from general mechanics change. Seems he can dispel Hex again and pounce is now a TP interupt, which means there's no escaping him if he ganks you at low hp/you're a support. Also got some minor buffs directly but those are pretty big. Some of the changes...

    The only things before the expansion are BLU and the server transfer shit, everything else is expansion content. And there's not gonna be 5-6jobs that'd be ridiculous. There's gonna be 2 most likely, gunblade and another.

    Hmm the UI does change, but the buttons don't get deactivated iirc. You can hide the Cross button layout for gamepad and display the normal hotbars and get the same UI while in controller mode as far as I remember. I don't have a sub running atm though so I can't really check ingame.

    Artifact :: 11/18 Beta Update Can do free drafts now with friends, one free draft in casual mode(or maybe just free drafts in casual mode not sure if limited) and can convert shit cards that have no value(like stuff that's in starter decks) back into tickets.

    DOTA 2

    Was only played 3times in the whole main stage, with only 10bans too and Topson won with it in WB finals, not even grand finals. Interestingly enough, that's more than TB and Morphling too. TI had a way different meta than the current one, at least in terms of carries. There was a patch that...
