    DOTA 2

    Well it is pretty retarded of them. Also on a related note, Godz says Valve will be streaming TI3 on Youtube as well as Twitch. Not that it makes much of a difference to me since my connection is shit to both in the evening anyway, so I'll most likely be using the ingame client, but it's maybe...

    DOTA 2

    Sven and SKK are fairly basic heroes, they're simple to play yet for the most part pretty good. Skeleton King was buffed decently, he's not competitive material I don't think but he's definitely good, and while Sven has fall out of grace I think he still has huge potential. Stats build is...

    I have absolutely no memory of the FFXI crafting, but FFXIV crafting isn't like wow, it's more like EQ2 and Vanguard(recent crafting systems not the original ones). You have a certain amount of points and you either increase quality or progress and you have to deal with complications and use...

    Beta and stuff. Also it came out like what, 2weeks before? But yeah EQ2 wasn't a wow clone at release, it's only after they got pounded into the ground by wow's numbers that they started copying aspects of wow.

    Well the incontrol post on reddit was spot on. Copy pasting: It's just a very stupid decision overall, regardless of the goals. And it certainly won't affect dota2 numbers too much, in fact what is likely to affect dota2 numbers a lot more is the fact it's hosted in the US, which leads to fairly...

    There's actually a thread about the game on this forum, and mostly positive stuff in it. I think it was a pretty good game even though it has several flaws, but for the low price it was well worth it.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah but with inventory and gold being very limited as generally the only guy who buys either, I'll buy sentries most of the time, I find them more useful overall due to dewarding. Inventory is especially a big issue, otherwise I'd carry both and use based on the case. Even for ganking though...

    DOTA 2

    Not a big fan of dusts in general, I almost always buy sentries instead cause they double as dewarding and you can drop them in anticipation of an invis hero running into your team, which is important for pushes, plus they last a while in a lane so it makes it hard for an invis hero to farm it...

    Apparently they kicked ComeWithMe out of the team so I wouldn't be surprised if Kaipi dies fairly soonish, unless they had a replacement lined up already. On stealth heroes and new players yeah it's commonly known that stealth heroes, on top of being favorites in lower tiers, are also...

    So Blizzard picked The International 3(dota2 biggest tournament) weekend to hold the WCS regional finals. Feels pretty stupid for people who wanted to watch both and probably gonna hurt viewers for both(not much but still a decent bit).

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I was under the impression that every job skill is tied to the job quest line, so that you need to do all the quests to unlock all the skills, unlike normal classes which only have 2(3? not sure if there's a lvl 45 skill quest). So at the very last you have to do that, but otherwise it'd be...

    Shit's pretty random, I've had it happen like 5times in a row but I've also not had it happen in forever so yeah. As for Timbersaw not sure, I guess people pick him atm cause he always wins mid kinda like OD. Reactive armor is stupidly strong in 1vs1 and the aoe saw thing even without a tree...

    Yeah basically ignore WC1, WC2 and WoW, just take whichever part of WC3 you prefer and do that. I think the human part is probably the best in terms of making a "movie for everyone" though, NE(Illidan/Furion shit with the love story with what's her name etc) and Orc stories(Thrall uprising and...

    A dev said that's the actual game code but the early access codes haven't been sent yet and will be at a later date. So entering that code now doesn't really accomplish much as far as I know. I'm keeping it until P4 is over and everything is working fine in case they fuck up their account...

    Considering the writing in blizzard stories, it wouldn't be too hard to make a decent-ish movie. Just go with like the fall of Arthas, it has all the components for a good movie, good looking manly main role, old mentor, sexy but powerful female character and lots of action. Also a nice ending...

    Is there even any other streaming sites nowadays? Xfire maybe but it's really awful, own3d shut down and I don't think I've seen any other stream site.

    That's the same thing? Or is the lack of a casting bar suddenly makes it an entirely different mechanic? Also not sure which spell you're talking about or if it's a different video, but all the skills where he "had to" stand around had a cast bar. He was also stopping a lot but you can see him...

    You mean like Dark Souls where you can leave messages on the ground and shit? That stuff was actually pretty bad imo. First it would ruin the surprise a lot of the time, then it was also "abused" to leave fake shit. Overall though if you look at Dark Souls, which is a game that strives on...

    Not really, there's a tacit rule about steam sales that you shouldn't buy anything that's not featured as a daily, flash or community sale. Every game will eventually be on one of these and will have a better price at that point, so you shouldn't buy anything not on the list. Usually at the end...

    Well that's why I said if they start soon after. Still I think 3-4ish months is decent enough for a beta assuming you start with most/all the content from the start. Lots of betas take a long time cause they start when the game is 1/3rd finished and they add stuff as they go which needs testing...

    A march release date wouldn't be such a short beta, assuming it starts soonish after the announcement. Say it starts early September, that's 7months of beta until end of march. That's what I'd call a fairly long beta even.

    Last news on the subject, which was from forever ago, is that they're not wiping unless major issue, however since it's old news, it'll need to be confirmed again, which I'm sure they'll do once they announce all the details of the P4. Which they haven't done yet cause it's in at least 2 weeks.

    The first line of the message actually answers that, it says you won't have to register again. On their registration system yeah I don't know how hard it is as I had an old account I think, but I believe they made a simpler system on a new page? It's mostly shitty because they don't link you...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It doesn't say you have to register before the date to participate, it simply says to do so before the date if you want to use older codes. After that it'll probably use a different system, and the servers are gonna be laggy/down as fuck due to people spamming so you'd better do it earlier...

    I wouldn't mind if PvP was zone specific and/or faction specific(soft factions, not horde alliance shit). While I started playing mmos with UO and spent 99% of my time killing players, I feel it's not a very good mechanic to have pure free FFA PvP in a mmo unless it's like a specific server(so...

    Well that's not that necessary, based on the early arcanist info. As you can see in the summoner skill, what happens when you become a summoner and unlike every other job is it converts your 2 carbuncle spells into 2 summoner pets. As such it's safe to assume that Scholar will get the 2...

    Aero was buffed at some point during P3 and it was alright, but not really that good. Had better mp efficiency than Stone 2 though(less than Stone 1 but also does more damage) so it has uses, sometimes, if it can run the full duration and also useful if you need to cast while moving. Biggest...

    Well it's a 30secs dot, so in terms of total damage it's not too far off but that's awful for soloing and what not. Anyway the numbers have been rescaled a lot from the early phases so yeah. I think it was datamined from the alpha client so it's several months old, there's no arcanist info in...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Those are datamined from a few months ago, before scholar was announced, so it's very likely it's outdated. The real datamining will come once the P4 client is available for download.

    I don't think quests giving xp is the problem, it's having quests give most of the xp and having "task quests" all over the place that creates the issue. If you do a long multistep quest with puzzle, riddles, killing hard mobs and whatever the fuck else to get your super epic legendary class...

    Oh yeah I guess if you keep gear for every single class and jobs but that's like, why? I mean there's gonna be overlap for sure, MRD/GLD armor is the same, MNK/DRG/ARC is the same I think, THM/ACN or CNJ/ACN is going to be the same, then you have job specific AF. More importantly, do you really...

    So reduce the inventory? You currently get more slots than you do classes. If they removed armory and had one set per each class, aside from the annoying factor of having to set it up with gear that is shared between classes, you'd have less inventory slots if you want to keep alternate weapons...
