Piranado is fun. Good stun good clumping power and gives everybody a 15% damage boost to any target effected by it so all around good support/DPS power.

I am liking it I usually giving it the piranado upgrade and then its a nice 15% damage amp and a good stun/clump effect that makes for some great vampire bat targeting. Plus its hilarious with diablo emoting at you with fish biting his head.

I highly recommend just improving your pick and axes as much as possible and only do the other stuff necessary to make them for optimal growth. Once you max out your pick harvesting stuff to make make things becomes way easier as your efficiency shoots up. You also want to then go after the...

Yup keeping all the resources is actually really nice it means once this thing goes into open beta/release (I am not sure we are going to see a lot of difference there) starting off with lots of resources to immediately remake any tools you need to remake and build stuff immediately is pretty...

So the birds of prey is like Ollies league of evil ex's ala scott pilgrim?

Given witch doctors ability to poop out minions at stupid rates there was no way they were not going to change that. Still 20% pure boost is very nice and easy enough to reach.

It makes sense in beta you are more likely to get casual butterflies blipping in trying it building something and then just not coming back till open beta starts so especially early in beta it helps free up good claim spots from people who are not active.

they were talking about what is coming a bit and mentioned they really want at least the lake/ocean part of of the water effect system and caves to hit at the same time so they can just do one wipe and get both up and active.

well that and if any actually did it other than the blackstaff then the wardens would cut their heads off because it would be using magic to kill innocent humans. That you also wiped out a whole bunch of vampires would not absolve you of the death sentence the wardens would impose. The only...

I think those will start being sent out as the servers come up and are ready to dish out the new data that does not seem like that has happened yet so no sense sending links to something people could not yet hit.

At least they have a bigger mix of biomes now so it is not two sets of two paired biomes. It looks like they have all the combos of the existing biomes available now. So desert/tundra or jungle/old growth and all the other combos.

Vel would be a pretty hard counter to heimers turrets but syndra is still the champ of counter pick vs heimer. You just pick up his turrets and beat him upside the head with them.

The old rockets if you got used to their mechanics were evil. You could guarantee hits and they hit hard. honestly if you reset him back to all his old abilities and just left him with his new improved base movement speed he would likely still cause people to bitch and moan about him. His old...

Ya I am not sure about the defibrlators of death look for the resonators but my god I was having some fun healing in pvp with my medic. It was like the good old days of rejuve druids in pvp where you could just dance around tanking half their team while dubstepping. the directional aoes were...

Unfortunately this is sort of normal for MMO. Crafting unless you are really going nuts with it at the very start of the game rarely makes any money or is even useful at all until max level because it never keeps pace with the rate you level and for the cost of the crafting you can usually just...

I have one really weird guildmate. He plays at work and he makes human alts levels them to 10 in their story line gets the black lion key puts it in the bank and deletes the character. It is silly as hell but he actually had enough of those damn ticket things that he bought and sold the skins on...

The only problem with this is unless you built completly on flat ground the chance of finding a spot that mimics it well enough will make just dropping an entire existing claim template down unlikely to look very good. I just work with the assumption I should do everything from scratch maybe try...

Yup if they make you buy keys for them they will just end up like black lion chests. That sell for 1 or 2 copper on the AH and only ever get opened when I happen to run across a quest or monthly that spits a key out not like anybody not opening up black lion chests is missing out on much.

Is it just me or is Boyd one of the least successful criminals ever. Pretty much every major enterprise we see him attempt fails badly.

Well it is capable of harvesting from any tree albeit slowly which is much more useful now than it once was.

The whole not sending them down with geiger counters and having them built into each of the braclets is more than dumb. Also the guy getting upset people are taking their bracelets off. Dude the people on the station sent 100 kids unequipped un supplied to die horribly why in gods name would...

Mine seemed to patch fine last night while I was puttering around in LoL and diablo3

Yup game looks good and its pretty easy to build some impressive structures even for the uncreative like me so if anybody is in the mood for some building I would recommend giving it a shot.

It really depends how much world hopping 25 gb will be a bit tight. The actual game install is only like 2gb but if you hop worlds a lot the cache can bloat up a bit as they have not put in much optimization on auto clearing it although you can manually smack it down easy enough.

If water and caves don't make the same patch and frankly I think thats highly unlikely I think it will be a matter of them just opening up more islands I don't see them doing multiple wipes during closed beta they are going to try to limit those as much as possible.

Yup it will probably be like the tundra/old forrest implementation. Add some new maps mid closed beta that have the full above and below ground biomes. And then when it wipes for open beta they can transition to all the islands being that way.

Hahah yes syndra is hilarious vs hiemer and I am a guy who loves playing hiemer. It is pretty satisfying to beat hiemer down with his own turrets. Still the new heimer is better able to deal with syndra than the old one it just means you focus on your rockets and stun bomb more than your turrets...

No kidding this thing has had a horribly disrupted schedule it almost looks like FOX TM scifi screwing type schedule designed to get a show cancelled.

Yes if GW2 even had the moba style type class roles it would be a better game. In GW2 there is one role and one build and that is max damage DPSer. This is why nearly every optimal build uses berzerker gear. Even if you build as tanky as possible you still cannot really tank and if you build as...

Its at least nice he has his damn q in a usable form for a change. It has been nothing but a newbie trap and passive attack speed buff for as long as I can remember. If you were close enough to use q you were one dead kogmaw.

Yes in theory mob Ai if the story bricks works as the promos from the manufacturer show it should in theory be pretty easy to have some basic AI blocks and then let the emergent Ai stuff to its thing. Things like an easy check list of likes and doesn't likes and things it wants to do like patrol...

It really only spikes bad if you map hop a lot I tend to stay on 3 different maps and so it has not bloated to much but my friend who likes seeing all the sites has to smack his cache down just about every night.

Yes because of the current angles you have to put stuff down in sometimes its hard to make sure its lined up on all sides tweak mode is nice because it allows you to correct minor issues without having to totally undo and redo something.

Hehe I got a thunderfury last night. Pretty funny when I was doinking around with the piercing frog attack on my witch doctor and the frogs were procing lightning like crazy. I am pretty sure not even chaos demons saw piercing electrically charged frogs coming.

Yes I was expecting one attached claim with two you can make some really large stuff with that. You could do a pretty decent town with that size.

I enjoyed alpha so far but I am sorta of on hold until the next batch of wipes happen because right now I have seen what I need to see to know I enjoy it so no sense going nuts making stuff thats going to go poof soon enough. I am looking forward to checking out the new biomes and messing around...

My friend already is working on a really nice small scale kelethin style tree house setup and it both works really well and also looks really good. Honestly given enough space to do it people could recreate racial cities without to much problems at all even with the current limited props.

I played him some last night and he actually is pretty darn fun. His E is pretty similar timing to cho'gaths version if you are used to the lag of one you can aim vel'kozes. It also if you land it is REALLY deadly because once you pop him up you poop out your W and q immediately and they are...

People have datamined sickle tools that appeared to be flagged for harvesting/gathering plants/trees. I think eventually the intention is if you want some trees you use make a sickle and you go out into the wildnrness and find the plant/tree you want and use the sickle to grab it and then...

That was my impression as well. I think the cave biome stuff will require a wipe but it sounds like they are just adding in more islands likely with their self contained biomes if I have to guess I am guessing winter and maybe volcanic.
