The very definition of a zoo deck is an aggro deck. Now can argue that calling the deck zoo was a stupid idea(I think Reynad named the deck zoo, and he qualified it as an aggro deck too) and I do agree that MTG terminology is a bit weird when the attacking mechanics are so different. On the...

Oh wasn't really arguing better or worse, just skills and specifically mechanical skills. It doesn't require great strategy or deep thinking, mostly conditionning and repetition but it's a pretty high level in that regard, similar to bullet hell shmups yeah. Wether that's good or bad depends on...

Sounds a bit contradictory, if you need to be 100% perfect now while before you could salvage mistakes, it would mean it requires more skill now. Would also mean that before you could sometimes kill a boss with a good streak of luck(right people still alive, boss not targetting the same person...

But not the PvE or low level PvP though, which is what I mentionned before. I think playing pro in most competitive games requires more skill and training than raiding in wow does, but PvE wise it's pretty high on the list and vs casual pvp stuff it's also as high or higher depending on the...

They would be relatively hard yes. Obviously a lot of mechanics a group based, but still it takes some time to learn the patterns and perform appropriately the entire encounter. I think the comparison to Dark souls is relatively accurate. Is Dark Souls hard? Meh, once you learn the fights, it's...

Still doesn't make it a control deck. Does it have removal spells? Does it have good lategame? If the answer is no to either of these question, it's most likely not a control deck. Miracle also removes all the board as much as possible, doesn't make it a control deck. Zoo is awful in lategame at...

Saying it's a control deck is quite a bit of a stretch, it's an aggro deck. You trade minions when it's an efficient trade due to being warlock and you have a lot of buffing cards to do these trades, but you don't run many actual control cards nor do you play for the lategame or especially not...

You had 2 mulock warleaders and 2 of the seers and tidecallers? I mean if you had them np, it's just the basic zoo deck has like 4rares and no epics so it's even cheaper when you don't have anything, epics are especially expensive, which is why I'm still missing a bunch of them. Trump's...

That's your very own definition of skill. And even with your own definition, you are still wrong when you say it takes no skill due to the random nature of many events that happen during raids. Regardless that's an incredibly limited definition, memorizing complex patterns and applying the...

Murlock is pretty old and isn't played much anymore after the blood imp nerfs, but it's still a decent aggro deck. Zoo I think is cheaper though, and pretty much better overall.

I run 2 healing touch, 2 farseers and 1 ancient of lore(would run 2 if I had) so frost mage pretty much cannot win as long as all that shit isn't stuck in my last 10cards, they just don't have enough damage in their decks and druid can't be chipped down by their hero power either. And freezing...

I'd say around christmas would make most sense.

Well generally problems are only the first month, sometimes later but not as frequently. First month is when bugs pop because they didn't really test that shit properly so it always breaks pretty much. Was just saying at this point it should be common knowledge, like not reusing a password even...

Data compilation for the compendium predictions: Stats Corner: Compendium Predictions joinDOTA.com TI4 Compendium Playoff Predictions: Misc Predictions | datdota.com The International 4 Predictions - DOTA 2 - featured_articles - 2P.com They have spread their stuff on the various sites...

That's the only one, other than using a weird any hero unique with +1 int. Obviously the +100xp runeword and omega int or +xp. I used both the runeword and flat xp in omega for +240xp per kill, doesn't make much of a difference in 50+ but from 30 to 50 that's a lot of xp from shit you one shot...

Same shit every mmo, people getting charged when they cancelled, people getting charged multiple times and people getting charged but their account not getting flagged for a resub and being unable to play. Wildstar being no exception.

The 5000 was the total cost for a scaling price per wing. The first wing was 500g then +500g per wing. That would make it accessible to new players, they didn't say all of it would be accessible and I highly doubt that'll be the case, but having one cheap wing(hell even a free wing) would make...

Pets in general don't do area damage so yeah seems consistent and is probably like that on live.

datdota doesn't have predictions up yet, I assume it'll be during this weekend.

Don't know if there will be gold rewards, besides maybe the 10gold per 3wins thing. The reason to beat the wings is they'll simply put the golden version of the cards behind stupid achievements, some of which will probably be "clear entire naxx once a week for 6weeks" or whatever. I could see...

When I played priest during vanilla, I didn't need a full bar of heals. I only needed Heal rank2(or lesser heal rank2?). There was never a need to heal for more, and it was by far the most efficient heal. Still there was some skill involved for some roles on some fights. Not much more or less...

I think they're waiting for their euro servers to be setup before selling access.

Well Dreamhack does that too and I've seen it done in other tournaments, it's definitely weird though especially since they could have started a day earlier and still have 3days downtime between the early phases and the later ones, or started the whole thing a day earlier. Not that I...

If they disconnect sometimes it does that shit. The game has some serious syncing issues since forever. There were a few actual exploits(like several months ago you could actually do the force hang stuff by playing tracking then going afk and the turn would never end) but for the most part it's...

From what I understand, they made L4D, during developement Valve bought them, released the game then when they closed the studio and invited them to join Valve, a bunch(most?) of the devs left to remake the same studio and work on other stuff. As such I'd assume L4D2 was in fact not made by...

So 2teams go back with nothing, that's kinda harsh. Especially since taking like 10k out of the higher prize pool and having the last 2 get 5k each, wouldn't really change much. On the other hand do like that even down to #8 you still get a massive amount of money. Means teams won't just give up...

God, Naxx news and it's a fucking lore post about Naxxramas, in case people forgot about the raid dungeon they used twice only a couple years apart. Guess I'll stop caring once the international starts.

It's well hidden in the link, it's all the way down to the first sentence: "Turtle Rock community manager Jess Damerst gave the password required, "happyhunting," along with a referral ID "JoinTheHunt" on Twitter." Edit: Fuck too late

Cool thanks for the link I checked the forum a few days ago and didn't really see anything that popped up on the first couple of pages other than sPvP builds and a power build. I didn't expect MM necro to be like super top tier or whatever, it's just it wasn't good last time I played at release...

That's what was broken, they supposedly removed loot until they fixed it, guess they fucked up somewhere.

The lich lord stuff is in Elona, to defeat Abaddon you had to resurect some crazy ass dead king mummy lich guy(Palawa Joko) to help you get there and yeah he apparently conquered most of Elona before the dragon cut it off. And yeah I know zephyrites are refugees but when I was reading up on them...

But the Zephyrites have made contact with Cantha already(or so I read), could have an air route and shit. Mordremoth also was a non factor until they decided to make it the most pressing threat. Even if we assume we don't go to Cantha until the undersea dragon is dead, shouldn't their efforts be...

They had a good system in GW1, I don't know why they went so far away from it. I can understand removing the trinity(and as such removing priests as a class) but mesmers and necromancers were both extremely useful in GW1 for the control and condition crippling they used to do. In GW2 though...

They patch every month, other than the first few months where they did take a long time to patch. Game will be 1 year old in august when they plan on releasing 2.3, which is the 3rd major content patch, so every 4months if you want to only count major patch, but that'd be quite biased to only...

Yeah that's what I said and literally every hero has both of these and many have it on skills the use as part of their main rotations while SW's is a spell you have to use that does no dmg. They don't stack and it's the most common debuffs so it's pretty worthless.

Meta is very support heavy and unlike say dota where burst is insane, CC is insane and supports are squish as fuck due to having no items and low levels AND support spells costing in general a lot of mana so they run out, in hots none of this is really true(burst and CC can be with some comps...

What aoe debuff would that be anyway, her weakness+vuln debuff? Shit doesn't even do damage it's not worth casting when basically every single hero has both and a lot have them on their main spam abilities. Can't think of any other debuff she has that would work on raid bosses. The only truly...

Pyromancer+Claw also good cards when facing a lot of aggro/zoo and pyro in general I like. Healing Touch also nice against non control stuff, like miracle can potentially OTK but it's a lot harder if you're at 30health all the time by healing whatever they chipped in early and against mages or a...

Na base timer is 6-8, seems to vary a bit, was faster during events it looked like. The potion simply increase drops, you get a lot of 2 and 3 drops at once. Prestiging gives a basic costume, 3 costumes gives you a random costume from the crafter(lvl 20), random meaning it can be another/the...

Doesn't take that long, or well, guess it depends on your definition of day, takes like 4-5hours to get to lvl 8 iirc, less so if it's during a weekend.
