    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    HS has plenty of tournaments, although most of them are shitty invitationals with the same 8players over and over with few variations, so it'd not the most interesting scene. They also had an official Blizzcon tournament last year(I think it was last year?) based on people qualifying via the...

    I highly doubt you'll clear T13 before the end of march, it's not like super hard but each of the turn takes a few hours of wiping and 12/13 take a bit longer. 10 is really easy overall and it also has a pretty large RNG aspect in terms of difficulty imo(if you don't get tether+charge, then it's...

    So they announced a bunch of stuff like pricing and what not for Heavensward: Standard edition is ~40$ for every version Physical collector is ~130$, has a dragon statue, bluray promotional stuff, art book, cool box Digital CE is ~60$ for every version, comes with a gryphon mount, kain...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well the nerf to 0dog health orb shit comes with Barbs replacing DH so you don't really need the orbs anymore, so not a big deal. Shit looks boring as all fuck though, I guess that's zDPS but eh. It's also most likely eventually getting nerfed, however doesn't seem like it'll be this time...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    In the current state, no. You can apparently do FC better with the IK set than you can with Raekor. That's what I'm reading at least, but yeah it's pretty dumb. Result is even if you want to FC, you're better off switching to IK. And FC isn't really anywhere as good as the other options either...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Did some Grifts with my garbage geared Wiz with the new set, it was pretty alright. I have a 3000DPS ancient wand(random wand with no actual affixes), Triumvirate, 5pc Delsere+garbage RoRG I took from my WD now that the thingies are merged, Slow Time helm, Energy Vortex bracers, garbage Unity...

    They fixed the client like a week ago or so in a mini update, works fine now yeah. Servers on the other hand are fucking shit now. I keep lagging out.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well the PTR has a 300% xp bonus, which I think is multiplicative, kinda like how the 2000% legendary bonus seems multiplicative. It could be additive but I leveled my Wizard on PTR before I started farming on it, and I went 64-70 in like 20mins with only the leoric ring on master difficulty...

    Descent Kickstarter

    They said in the comments(or on twitter whatever) that it will have bots, but no actual story mode/campaign mode of sorts, just multiplayer gameplay with bots.

    Descent Kickstarter

    Yeah I didn't kickstart that cause it's some weird ass multiplayer game idea and I really don't give a fuck about playing Descent as a multiplayer game. Even has "classes" of ships and shit, that doesn't really sound anything like the Descent I remember(but I might remember wrong as I haven't...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah apparently based on reddit they changed the title. I wouldn't be too surprised if they were ending relatively soon though, finish the PTR in 1-2weeks, call the 2weeks warning and go live with the patch. Season 2 ladder is pretty much dead in 4man anyway due to Sever exploit(which has been...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah well it's not great, it's just a lot better and they don't feel like garbage legendaries. Though at the end of the day, you probably won't use any of them past the gearing phase because sets are just way too good, and you're extremely limited in your slot choices by either other mandatory...

    Guild Wars 2

    I'd say the most fun class and arguably the strongest at almost everything is Elementalist(though warriors are possibly better for dungeons once you already have an elem I think). It has A LOT of depth, a lot of skill based stuff, it solos very well, it's great for exploration with the self...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Man playing Wizard on PTR is so much more fun than on live. I got those meteor boots and starting to piece together Tal Rasha, it's so good and feels a lot more mage-y. I need to farm the 2 new sets see which one I like most. Even with the nerfed meteor boots shit explodes so hard. That new...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They posted official patch notes and it's in there. There's a bunch of stuff that wasn't datamined, or explained better. They buffed a bunch more legendaries with either better affixes(like Andariel getting 350-450%nova instead of current values or Fan of Knives shoulders doing like up to 600%...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm loving those Wizard sets though. Firebird gonna firebird, but the Slow Time one looks kinda interesting and not elemental specific and Tal Rasha looks even better.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I don't really see M6 stopping to be top choices when either soloing high grifts or grouping in high grifts. The pets are way too valuable when soloing and for groups where you can setup a full nest of turrets it's just stupid damage. The new set looks nice for T6 speed clears and like GR 30-35...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Also now it can actually be used to clear competitive content stuff with leaderboards, while back then, who the fuck cared really. It'll probably get nerfed in 2.2, might be patched in this week's PTR patch even(though don't know if that's happening or not).

    PoE is on end cycle currently so not really a good time to play that either. Better wait on Act4.

    DOTA 2

    I don't think you need to be a former TI competitor to actually provide valid advice to people around your level range, or even higher. Theorical knowledge and practical knowledge are 2 different things and you can know how to play near perfectly without being able to do so yourself, that...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    At this point I think it's probably more fun to play on the PTR than on live anyway, which is really fucking stupid too. Having the PTR start like 2weeks after season start and lasting probably the entire time but with much more interesting loot is dumb.

    Neverwinter: PC

    Oh ok that makes more sense, and yeah that pack was retarded at launch. I played the game and I think I spent 10bucks on bags, though maybe it was GW2 instead and I didn't spend anything on that. It was fun for like a month or whatever, the combat is pretty cool and the classes are not bad at...

    Neverwinter: PC

    I'm not sure how the most expensive thing on the cash shop is particularily relevant, it's obviously super expensive, so like, don't buy it? That's like complaining about CEs and shit. Or if you bought every wow mount they must have by now.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well they'll do a gear reset like wow, first quests in the expansion will probably reward i90 to i110 greens/whites depending on how they want it to go, and then they'll go from there. They also said the endgame raid won't be available right away, so there will be time to level up and gear up...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well it's technically not very hard to catch up and be raid ready, though it might take some time since a lot of the best gear you can easily obtain out of raids is capped per week(poetics and WoD which are 120/130). You only need a few pieces of each and the rest of older soldiery 110 gear to...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Well they're 2D environments and they're not animated for the most part, so that's that. Unless you mean adding details and stuff. Overall it's not gonna be the prettiest game though, which really doesn't matter much, main point is going to be story, dialogues and combat.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Did you fuck up the email maybe? Also what 8digit confirmation? I don't think there's one unless you switch your PS3 account into a PS4 account, or if you mean like the SE shop sending you your key, but not sure why you bought it from there.

    They should have done the server invite shit like in XI, but eh. I know it opens every now and then, but it's mostly really early in the morning. The very best time to make a char on an extremely loaded server is right after a maintenance, but that means you need to wait for one and then you...

    I'm not a big fan of the WHM helm, though I see what they were going for and it's alright. I like most of them, ninja looks really ninja-ish and dragoon is typical dragoon cool looking shit. Sadly the 2 classes I play I think are the worst, SCH looks like a steampunk failure crap and BLM looks...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I think you'll be able to mod stuff but it's not like officially supported with modding tools and what not, shit takes a lot of time to make apparently and they decided to not bother. If the game sells well, as they'll start working on another, they might also dedicate a few people to make some...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    It's even more confusing cause the lead guy in path of exile is also named Chris (Wilson) and is generally considered a pretty cool guy by the community. I think I'll just call it Eternity. Anyway game's has had a lot of shit released about it, if you search on youtube or check the Neogaf...

    The plan is simply for them not to work other than as land mounts in the old zones, similar to BC when wow introduced them. They didn't redo the original zones until Cataclysm and you could only fly in BC then wotlk zones. I'm a bit surprised at the lack of solid info and the fairly far...

    Overwatch

    Eh who cares about the char design. I'd be more worried about the skillset which looks boring and bland as shit. A lot of their other heroes have pretty cool mechanics, she has like the most basic shit. Oh and one of these basic shit is an aoe disable, in a FPS. This is going to be really fun I...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    But you still need to farm trial stones, which involve farming T6, which is still boring as shit. See that's also another problem with Grifts, you need to do T6 to actually do them. Normal rifts, you need to do bounties at first but then they pretty much self sustain(I never paid attention but I...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The problem of the Grifts is they're terrible for gear. They're a nice scaling challenge and randomly generated stuff is cool, but you wouldn't farm them for gear. So you're left with farming T6 rifts/areas, but the problem is T6 is completely inadequate difficulty wise. It's way too easy to...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Problem is a lot of the fun comes from getting the right items to do a different build and have it work. If you can't get the items, you stop having fun. In PoE for example you can always just keep grinding, and you'll eventually amass enough wealth that you can just buy the uniques you want for...
