    They have a new style of leader skill, where it's semi-active based on multiple matches - for example, 4x damage when you attack with 4 different combos in the same round. That's the easiest one - the hardest one is 10x damage if you make 10 combos in the same round. Given that's matching the...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    There's not the slightest bit of surprise there - negotiation wise buying them from AMD is kind of like 'You can either go out of business, or bend over, lube up and cry tears of joy at whatever price we give you'.

    For the most part, the egyptian gods aren't actually any better than the current ones unless you are *very* good at the game. A lot of the good creatures from 5.0 are upgrades of existing ones too, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

    Hmm, I spose most people who are interested would be getting the progress updates, but I have to say I was pretty impressed by the description of the NPC conversation branching in the most recent one, spoilered for length.

    Yeah, it also depends on what you do with multiple accounts. For example, just doing the daily dragon dungeons takes about 15 minutes max for the entire day, but uses up a day's worth of stamina. So you can get some decent progress with very little time investment doing that if you want...

    Voice of the Siren by miles - they both have similar drop rates for mermaids, but voice drops marine goblins, and you are going to need like 50 of those fuckers to skill up your mermaid anyway. Also voice gets regular 1.5x drop events, which increases chances of both mermaid and the goblins.

    How many books can you read at a time and the ereader/tablet curse

    I find reading more than two books at a time leads to me not caring about the least interesting of them, I kind of need a bit of momentum going to get into the story. I try to stick with just one most of the time. It's not usually a problem, given I read very quickly, but I've spent more...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    IIRC the ability to load linux onto them was just an attempted tax dodge in europe ( different rates for computers vs games machines or something ), and they lost that battle anyway.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    Pretty good actually, the healers and dragons seem to be about the same drop rate. It's actually heaps easier to get the dragons because master dragon drop rate is like 40% and 80% on double drops. I got no healers or mechs over 20 red, 42 green, 30ish light, 30 dark on expert. Got a succubus...

    I don't know the hp of those offhand - if it's more than 8500 you have a chance, but bring some stones in case you get screwed on heal stones on the boss. A max skill siren makes this much less hazardous ( everyone should farm one of these - yes, even if you have a max level amaterasu heh ).

    Nope, the succubus doesn't appear at all in the adept run. She doesn't appear in master or legend either, gets replaced by the stupid carbuncles.

    Ouch harsh - I'm up to 16 expert runs with no succubus. Par for the course, sigh. I would have totally sucked up a stone or two there ;p ( Actually, depending on what you had in the friend leader slot mech was probably totally doable. I do it with Loki as leader and amaterasu as a healer -...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Ned killed 3 of the kingsguard - when they were guarding a tower on foot, and Ned and his six followers were mounted, and he still almost lost. It's also likely that Howland Reed didn't fight 'fair' by tournament standards given his background - I'd speculate a poison dart or an arrow in...

    ToS is a puzzle and dragons clone, so yes, it's very similar. ToS has some nice usability features that PaD could really do with too - like alerts when limited dungeons are up and multiple teams.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    Well, I see two solid teams fully made - first up would be ADK + four dragons, second would be Amaterasu + four dragons. So I'd focus on either Ama or ADK and the resist dragons for now. I'd just do one ADK to start with, given that real dragons are equally useful in either team ( second team...

    Well, we only have one side of that story - Wilson is a psychopath who killed what, twenty people since Oliver met him, and we have only his word to go on that he is a 'good guy'. Also, it's possibly the comic book writing, but his story stinks of bullshit - if the Aussie government sent those...

    Skill levelling is soul destroying, heh. On the bright side, got a good feel for the odds on adept msk I think - with double drop the random knights seem to be very close to 100% drop ( i.e. a level with one of them on it will always leave an egg, you can still get a different egg off other mobs...

    The conflicting information is because vritra makes a solid team member, but an excellent part of a gimmick team. For a team member you want him high level, for the gimmick team, it's a resolve team, so the higher hp vritra has, the stronger healer you need to keep the team alive ( the gimmick...

    Impire (dungeon Keeper clone)

    So, after 10 hours I figure I can give it a fair review. First up, I haven't encountered any of the performance or stability problems other people have mentioned, so can't comment on that. What I can say though, is that the game seems to have a fairly critical flaw in the basic gameplay...

    Having one of each color dragon is more useful than 4 white ones, but 4 white ones is still useful for some situations, like the upcoming dark mechdragon dungeon, which will get smashed by 4x 20k light attacks. ( I have 3 black ones, so the light mechdragon has been very entertaining ). They...

    Impire (dungeon Keeper clone)

    Seems entertaining so far. The tutorial is harder than I expected, the first guardian is more like a WoW boss and requires a fair bit of coordination. The controls annoyed me greatly for a while, but apparently the early stages of the demo locks the scroll keys and camera rotate - a weird...

    Neither, level the green knight into an ADK, the devil dragon into a CDD and the lil'red into a meteor dragon - the valk is useless without a full healer set, of which you have none. ADK, 4 dragons and a healer/odin/adk helper will take you through a huge percentage of the game quite easily...

    The pre-order DLC has a vampire and a medusa in it, so presumably there are types other than imp in the base game.

    For a very low sample size - 4 expert runs - 3 knights 6 adept runs - 0 knights 3 novice runs - 0 knights None of the knights so far are off bosses, but off the random ones that show up in early levels. The drop rate from these seems very high.

    I can't understand all these people that say they farm 100+ of those on thursdays, as far as I can tell drop rate is like 1.6 per run - I wonder if they are burning like $20 on stamina each time or something.

    It stays, as long as it's the same skill. Sometimes the skill gets replaced by a higher level version and then you lose all levels, but for MSK I am pretty sure it's the same active skill in all evolutions. ( Obviously the leader skill changes )

    Expert is 3 of them, with reasonably high armor and 150kish hp. They only hit for 4400 or so, so it was pretty trivial both with low green reducer ( some unevolved green dragon I had lying around )/amaterasu, and with scrub siren ( level 30 )/fortoytops combos. Prior trash is green demons...
