Yeah you don't run a twinned springs map when you have negative fire resistance I am amazed they were not pissed off when they died.

I alt-f4ed once on a hardcore character and it logged out instantly. However, I only did this due to an old bug that made you unable to move or use skills (except flasks).

Wtf, I got France. I'm fucking English!

I used to run 3 granites on most characters. The fact was that it did not take much to be self sufficient for melee chars (leech) or witches (clarity). I never really played an archer. Now running 3 granites is probably not a good idea, but the same characters just wouldn't need life/mana...

By the time you finish cruel it should be a non-issue anyway, as your character will become self sufficient (leech or regen). I don't think any of my closed beta character used more than 1 instant life and 1 mana/hybrid flask once they got to merciless.

Blood Rage.

Act 2 vendor: 4 chances = 1 scouring 2 scourings = 1 regret

1) You cannot control minions, but if they are doing nothing and you nuke a target (with any spell or attack) then they usually move to attack that target. Bets to nuke a target amongst a large group so that they get stuck in. 2) Minions are arguably better at high level than low, as you...

I was probably griefed more times in Wow than I was in any pvp mmo. If you have a reason to pvp then you do not need to be able to grief people, you just need some sort of flagging system. It can be done other ways too, such as zoning (eve security status etc).

A big euro millions (euro lottery) win can get you upwards of 200 million USD. I do not know if that is enough money for this, but: I would setup a company with the purpose of pulling a massive messiah/prophet stunt. I would descend in a small spaceship in a blinding light and pronounce...

Because your kids are not a target in the same way that Obama's kids are. The chance of your kids being kidnapped is extremely small. There are a lot of people out there who would want to kill Obama's children just because he is president.

Pot, meet kettle. You have no desire for any sort of discussion. Any suggestion that was offered would be ridiculed because you have your views and anyone who disagrees with you in any small way is an idiot. Just look a few posts above. You call someone stupid because they say that the...

Any person that compares Obama to Hitler should not be allowed to own a gun.

The proposed AWB makes no sense to me. It is just giving political ammo to the pro gun circle jerkers. You cannot just ban 'assault rifles' and expect anything to change. If they do that, statistics will soon show that nothing has changed and the cavemen will then say that it proves they were...

I think there are a lot of contributions to the protoss deathball. A protoss army needs to consist of a variety of units which support eachother, and that basically means keeping all your units together. For example, colossus need stalker support and you need more than just four stalkers with...

So they are planning to put a patch live in less than 24 hours, but they cannot yet post patch notes? Cowboys.

A friend of mine has been talking about a startup game studio for a while now, so I have had some fun with discussing ideas etc. You are talking at least a million dollars. I don't want to go into much detail here, so I will just say: To make EQ like graphics in a timely fashion you...

I made a thread ages ago on their forums about this, but the problem is with prefix mods, not CI. You can get one Life prefix mod per item. You can get one ES prefix + two local ES scaling mods. The ES is also boosted by the 20% quality. CI is not OP until you get good level 60 gear. Then...

I am not a Kripp hate, I just do not think he knows better than everyone else. For example, I am watching the video and he starts with Clarity. I understand the mechanics of Clarity, I have used it and I know when it is and is not useful. It is not as useful as Kripp thinks it is because he...

I really expected Huk to go 0-5, and Grubby to pick up a win or two. Still not as surprising as Noblesse making it back into code S though. How much fixing do you think goes on (by the tournament admins)? We had JD and Flash in the same U&D group, 20% chance so not surprising on it's own...

There's a dozen ways to do 1/1/1. If you are doing tank/banshee then gas is the limiting factor that delays you. However, the siege research does not play a big part because you start it late anyway (shortly before you move out). What the siege change might do is strengthen 1 base marine...

They have nerfed the infestor and it is really noticeable when playing zerg. I started playing random recently. While I am still very inexperienced as terran, it was by far the easiest to learn. That is not too surprising as I had already learned the other two races. I still let the macro...

Grubby in GSL at same time as EGTL play proleague, and I dont have good enough internet to run two streams at the same time

Yes, there will be a wipe when it moves into open beta.

I ID level 35+ boots/gloves/helms/rings/necks (while levelling, not in maps), since they have a chance to give alch shards, and you want to start to build up a stock of alt shards anyway. Below level 35 I would only ID something if I might use it. You need to trade for gems on your first...

I don't like to keep bringing this game up, because on the whole it had a LOT of bad things, but L2 was a pvp game with little ganking and griefing. You just need some sort of PVP flagging system that makes ganking cost the ganker more than it costs the gankee. Think of Eve in High-Sec space...

Roach hydra would easily beat pure stalker. If you take out infestors then sentries would be the problem, not stalkers. Pure stalker barely beats pure roach.

You do not need a combat log. The data has to be sent to the client and the bot program can just access it from your computer's memory. Bot programs are not just macros. A good bot program can do things that a player cannot, so as see further into the distance, see through walls etc. The...

Team games in SC2 are not competitive. Blizzard has used crappy (to me) maps for the pool, which only allows each player to have 2 or 3 bases. This makes it a lot easier for casual players. On the other hand, the game really is not designed for team games, but you wont even notice that at a...

Do not GMP spark. GMP should only be used on a spell that has a base of 1 projectile. With a non qual spark I would run faster proj, faster casting and fork. In some cases pierce or iron will can be used. With a qual spark you can drop the faster proj. I advise that you just stick with 4l...

Regarding planning your maps: The drop rate is the same regardless of group size. You get more ob drops in groups and from IIQ gear, and more rare drops from IIR gear. The only thing that increases the map drop rate is the implicit IIQ on the map. Maps can drop 2 levels higher, so if you...

In any game where nothing is soulbound and items make a character a lot stronger you need to absolutely flood the market with good items to prevent hyper inflation. Imagine a game where you have 100 players but only 20 of the best weapon in the game. Without RMT, the players compete against...

Found it, he got to 79. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/58124

You survived a merci vall lightning with only 25% resistance? Very very lucky. Lightning has a huge damage range and you got the super low end. That thing can hit for around 2500 damage vs 75% res, (so 7500 vs 25% res) on a high roll. And let's not get into crits and shock.

But he isn't the only one. There are a few guys that will play for 16 hours a day, and they actually have experience. They just are not racing this time. Panda has won hundreds of races. And there are a few guys like Mouze and Inva who are also very fast. Kripp is 75 now after 3 days...

There should be 6 episodes in the spring and another 6 in the autumn. They split the seasons.

It was actually a 7950 GTX, which I believe is the best 7x series card they made. Only 256mb of memory on it though. It literally runs at <3fps in forest zones, and that is after i customized the settings for the app to really reduce the quality. With a 560 GTX with 4 gb of memory it runs...

In my opinion, the reason that soulbound items became popular was to reduce the effects of RMT. I really dislike games that bind items, but all the games that do not bind items need to do more to ban gold buyers. I am no lawyer though, so I do not know if this is possible.

I have a 3570k and am happy with it. Runs cool at 3.9 ghz with the standard intel heatsink. Most people I know who built new systems this year also went for the 3570k, and I have not heard any complaints.

Just to make sure that you know: Inner Force (30% buff effect) only applies to all buffs affecting you. It will not buff your minions.
