    Heroes of the Storm

    #PugLife but it isn't uncommon for the team to not surround me as Stitches when I perform a hook. If Gorge isn't up it allows me to slow down the hooked hero allowing my team to catch up/respond to pings to secure the kill. I generally get good value out of the talent. Shit even when Gorge IS...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    IMO all programming exams should be completely open book/computer/Google. Half of what I do at work is not knowing the answer but needing to know how to figure out the answer with only half a picture of what is actually going on. I can understand where your professor is getting at (esp if this...

    Heroes of the Storm

    I usually build slam Stitches myself when I play it since like you said it is more consistent in team fights. Fishing Hook can look cool and make you feel like a boss but it is too binary a skill. Although I do like to take Tenderize at 7 even going full slam.

    I didn't mind Raekor's barb in S1. I may roll another once I get bored of this DH. Though Monks seem pretty fun these days as well. Problem is I know less than zero about monks.

    Heroes of the Storm

    You can look like a power play God once you get bolt on ETC and do some madman shit where you blink from the bushes and initiate with a crazy dance. Closest thing to a blink Tidehunter in the game.

    I use Oxygen which is an XML editor but most XML editors will validate JSON as well. I think it is OSX only. It is pretty nice as far as XML editors go. I had a bitch of a time finding an XML editor for OSX with XPath capabilities.

    I really, really like Intellij. I worked in Eclipse for 4+ years at my internship so the learning curve and forgetting all my muscle memory was tough but it is such a nice and functional IDE. But you gotta pay for it. Probably free for students, though.

    Lol D3 is not the reason for leaving WoW it is simply the game that took over my free time afterwards

    Coming up on my next 10k. Think I'm gunna get my Azmodunks on. Though I've also wanted to take Starcraft back up so not sure which competitive game I'll play more.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah feeling burnt out again myself as well. But I also don't like DH w/ Marauder's playstyle as much as I thought I would. Throwing some forward turrets down and somewhat blindly launching spenders isn't very interactive nor fun.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Yeah ETC == Stitches these days then the other warriors are a bit below them. I personally prefer playing ETC more than Stitches since it seems like I'm either feast or famine with my hooks in games. Though I believe my win rate on ETC is pretty poor. I always feel like I'm playing well but...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Yeah thats my favorite part. Generally the whiners are the ones who over extend and die immediately in a team fight then blame everyone else for not diving as hard as they did. I've yet to meet someone who whined endlessly and was also the best player in the game.

    Heroes of the Storm

    People who do nothing but bitch on teams just makes no sense. No one will suddenly play better because someone calls them a moron and calls them out constantly. It is the surefire path to making sure you lose the game.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Its a shame set bonuses are so powerful in this iteration of the game because it really does limit your build diversity. At least for pushing grifts. I could see something where you get M3 for all the pets, focus on Sentry%, TnT and the 3 wolves BP and have a pet damage focused build. But as...

    That is kind of the impression I got at the onset of this as well. Brad thought he could just say "I'm Brad. I'm making another MMO. Shower me with cash." when the reality is his name doesn't pull any clout anymore and is seen as toxic if he is overseeing an entire operation. I think with a...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    TnT doesn't fit into any builds because they all call for Marauder's gloves to be worn. It was discussed previously but of the two viable builds the only real gear difference is cold uses Pride's Fall and Marauder BP and fire uses Cindercoat and Marauder's helm. Fire you either use Cluster...

    The Biggest Loser is pretty hilarious with their product placement for Jenny-O Turky and Ziploc bags. The people on these shows are the worst actors in the world and I can't help but laugh everytime they have these product placements.

    The fact I see Hist online constantly on D3 and he refuses to even acknowledge whispers or gives reasons for not transferring GL must mean he has the emotional capacity of a girl getting her first period

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Also for cold you want to use Marauder's BP and Pride's Fall helmet. For fire you want Cinder and use Marauder's helmet.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It isn't hard but does require a competent and semi-geared tank and a good healer. You have to speed pull trash so having a tank who isn't taking a bunch of spikes helps out.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Which is why I was initially excepted for Pantheon. VG failed because of execution not because of design. Possibly you could argue they over designed and that is why they were left with empty land masses and a bug riddled client but (outside of maybe Diplomacy) I can't recall many instance of...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I was ready to come here and say VG launched at a good time when people were down and bored of content on WoW but I was completely wrong. VG launched the same month as TBC. Although I quit WoW during TBC the expansion marks a landmark spike in WoW's popularity. So yeah VG launched at a shit time.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I think VG actually benefited from WoW. WoW was the introduction to the masses for the MMORPG genre. VG was (I believe) the first major MMO released after WoW was hitting 1m+ subs. So now a bunch of people were willing to try out the new hotness which was VG. But VG completely failed in so...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    IMO, WoW vanilla is still the gold standard for "old" style MMO gaming. It struck a good balance between solo content, group content and raid content. You could level to 60 solo doing mostly quests but it was still faster to level up via the instanced dungeons (I prefer instances to open-world...

    Maybe I'm wrong and just don't have a very good measure of interest in a "return to roots" MMO. I don't know much about EQN but doesn't it play something like a MMO meets MOBA? I actually find that concept somewhat interesting. Take the PVE aspects of MOBAs and completely flesh it out. I...

    This forum isn't a very good sample since we're all, for the most part, very active gamers who play more than normal. But you just need to look at the landscape of gaming in the MMO genre and see that clearly the player base wanted a move to bite-sized content with immediate rewards and payout...

    EU is more fun to watch. You can just hear interviews with the NA pro players and they seem very, very closed minded and extremely reluctant to innovate. But everytime I watch an EU match SOMETHING weird as shit happens. For NA really only Barrel Boys and Tempo are very interesting to me.

    I don't think camping spawns is necessarily required for a throwback MMO. I imagine his vision is more a focus on small group content via non-instanced (or instanced? dunno his stance on the matter) dungeons and leveling up via groups. Where the modern MMO landscape is pretty much dictated by...
