    DOTA 2

    Only that wow balance was quantifiable by running parses and theorycrafting optimal DPS. You can't really tell shit about how the mm work, if it's working correctly or not, because you don't have access to anything. I believe it's working fine, just the systems they use for it are shitty by...

    DOTA 2

    Hmm yeah? It's even legal, check the steam marketplace, even though I guess if you were feeling adventurous you could use D2L or something similar to sell items without giving Valve a cut, but obviously scams galore even with a 3rd party. Note that most of the items aren't actually worth shit...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh yeah not saying it looks bad or anything, but it does say they completely fucked it up the first time around because the engine ran not very well unless you had a top of the line computer iirc, when really they didn't need the game to look that good at the time. Mostly though I like the art...

    Most of them have no reputation left though so it's not that much of a deal but eh, if you're an optimist I guess you see that as a good sign.

    Well when they decided to make that shit work on PS3, I guess they had to. The first video showing PS3 footage showed atrocious FPS issues, but the next one was decent(it's still like 30FPS but first video was like 15). It is also kinda an old engine, and yet they reduced the quality(the...

    That worked well enough, finished the trades. I'll keep the other cards for now I'll see if they do some more shit with them.

    So what time is the EQN panel again, too lazy to search for the post that's probably 6pages away and google is being gay so I'm sure one of you crazy people knows. Was it like 12PM PDT?

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

    I think ultimately the casual/family types won't buy a new console very often, and most of them already bought the Wii. The Wii U simply didn't offer anything big over the Wii especially for the non gamer types, why would they spend money again when they can still wiggle their Wii stick to play...

    Not sure if you understand how solo rating in a team matchmaking work. Works exactly the same way in LoL which has visible rating and low variance of ratings within one game, but people don't blame it on matchmaking there, just on shitty teammates. Now maybe some of these games are...

    DOTA 2

    Part of the issue is south american servers have worse pings than US servers for most of south america outside of brazil(where the servers are located) due to shitty routing. Then you have a bunch of them that are just there to piss people off or because it queues faster. Same as russians on EUW...

    FFXIV doesn't have much to differentiate itself from the post-wow mmos, other than a good story, a strong IP they abuse properly(magitek armor, lightning event, FFXI classes, Nobuo Uematsu music, monsters from every FF etc) and a slower paced combat, but not that slow. I don't believe it'll have...

    Add Lion/Rhasta to the list, instant hex him when he comes in charging then further disable him, and in Lion's case, a finger to the face, can deal with him ok as long as you're not alone(alone a full hp SB can tank Lion's ulti and still kill him easily). SB is a great hero, but laning him is...

    Googling it yeah I see wow did have day/night, I didn't remember it though, guess night was just not very night-like, other than the sky being darker and a blue hue on everything.

    They release one new game every 2 years at least. 2007 TF2+Portal, 2008 L4D, 2009 L4D2, 2011 Portal2, 2013 Dota2. Also CS:GO but they didn't make that iirc so probably doesn't count. In the meantime, Blizzard has released SC2 and Diablo3, and a bunch of wow expansions which hardly count as games.

    Quest hubs, casual friendly(soloing possible, low death penalty/travel time/downtime/difficulty in entry content), no sandbox elements, that kind of stuff. Basically, similar to wow.

    This shit isn't even being done in single player games, no way they'd do it in a mmo. Still the basics are important, day/night cycle, randomized weather, that kind of shit is pretty cool and has been done so it can be done again. The theme park mmo concept isn't just the mechanics design of...

    Na that's what I meant, current flow so you drift in one direction if you're not swimming, instead of having "rivers" made of still water. And yeah solo games sometimes have it but I don't think I remember another mmo having it.

    Vanguard had river flow shit iirc, which was mindblowing at the time, and still to this day isn't being done. It also had boats and shit.

    DOTA 2

    I think main difference is the sheer amount of new players getting put in placement matches which ruins a fuckton more games than it did before. That placement system might be new too though, I don't remember it happening on my smurf but that was like a year ago so maybe it was added inbetween...

    Nice didn't even remember VG had music or if I played with it, but listening to that stuff I did play with it and remember it. Certainly hope they make some good music, even though I might end up turning it off after a while, it's still a great part of a mmo.

    Space Hulk for PC, Mac and iOS

    Na never played the board game, and yeah I can see how there's inherent advantages like being able to spawn from ambush points, a lot more movement tiles, turning taking action points because terms are slow as fuck and shit like that, but I don't know it feels very much like any other strategy...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Tera had fairly small hitboxes/collision checks, so far in Wildstar all I've seen are aoe the size of a truck, I think it'll be hard to miss anything but fast moving mobs moving perpendicular to the direction you're facing or something. Probably will have 0 effect on raiding(boss stands...

    Pretty sure you could get the Abaddon weapon + one or two rares for a kunkka one, it's the most valuable, in fact it's the only one that's worth more than the box itself, at least when I checked yesterday.

    If you want to play mid exclusively you should also practice melee heroes, see how they work out and shit, plenty of good melee mids. Current trend is Dragon Knight and Alchemist(nuking build max the stun first instead of the gold passive), but Panda Brewmaster, Nightstalker or Beastmaster are...

    I would assume that's in the lower tiers if you win rate was negative? Abaddon is very strong there because urpdurp have to switch targets when the horsey guy turns green but instead keep attacking and heal him to full. The thing however is he's very strong at higher tiers too, not because...

    Some games are unwinnable. That's just how it is in any team based online game. However you will play an equal amount of unlosable games, maybe you don't recognize them as such and think you are a hero but the paint drinkers aren't always on your team and when they're on the enemy team, you...

    There's a few fringe cases with extremely bad players even in very high games. There's a few reasonable explanations though, such as skewed placement matches, when you make a new account, if you do very well your first few games, you get "promoted" very quickly to judge your real skill, which...

    How does Decking interact with Rigger bots, like if you have 2 bots up which reduces your AP by 2 per turn to control them, do you have reduced AP in the Matrix too? I wanted to check but it takes forever to get to a place the decker can dive and wondering if I should go guns instead.

    Shadowrun Returns

    CC is a bit redundant when you can kill everything though. Mostly I liked having a mage in my team for the buffs and the heal, and sometimes the potential aoe. When he popped I started using the hybrid runner that's like mage/shaman support, he has Haste, Fire Traps, Fog, Armor, Accuracy and...

    I felt like my samurai(10 base armor, +3 buff) was tanking a ton better than the others, but at the same time the others rarely got hit and only by like magic projectiles or shit like that which I don't think armor would do anything against anyway. Also might be biased observation because they...
