    DOTA 2

    There's some heroes I've never even played. That's why I don't random, also dislike the gold advantage it feels cheesy if you random a strong hero you're good at.

    You don't warp around nearly as fast as a monk in D3 than you do in PoE. But their netcode method was stronger, however they were doing it(some of it was client side and what not while PoE checks the server a lot). Also iirc it's a lot harder to get boxed in D3, so movement rubberband from...

    Well no one has seen endgame content so we can't 100% say Bard will be needed, but based on 1.0 players tests and based on obvious observations like the fact classes run out of TP fairly quickly, raid bosses are probably going to exceed these and only a few classes get access to the Lancer TP...

    Even if it's faceroll it's likely the TP regen will be essential to faceroll shit faster anyway, plus BRD does fairly decent dmg and also provide that +10%dmg taken debuff so that's even more dmg. In 4man groups(leveling content) it won't be that needed, but you can just not cast songs and do...

    http://dota2lounge.com/ You can bet on a favored team and get items, but you won't get many obviously, especially when the % to win is very high. Like Alliance games, betting on alliance generally gives you very little. I just started betting on this cause I figure I don't use most of my...

    The way I see it, Ninja is going to be DPS. Even if it was tank though I don't think it'd have the same impact with the different mechanics and stuff. It could be an evasion based tank with Utsusemi as a long cooldown to block some hits sometimes to get your health back up or what not. Also...

    Didn't you need to do some of that shit for your AF quests? Think I remember doing something stupid like camping a NPC too but it was way too long ago.

    He's a good carry though, the problem is his team can't do shit most of the time if he goes afk farm to try to carry lategame. Especially these past few days they've went a lot of 1+4 setups with fear being the only real carry, but they can't handle that shit at all. Jeyo was ok as a carry but...

    Daillies are fine if they're for like catching up gear(one or two tier lower than current raid tier), cosmetics nonsense(Help the Moogle faction to unlock a Caithsith mount!) or alt/new player progression. They're annoying as fuck when they're part of the endgame progression, like enchants or...

    Well combat certainly won't magically be different when you acquire most abilities at low level and a lot of job abilities are situational and/or cooldown heavy, combat at 30 is for all intent and purposes what it's gonna be at 50 and since there is no "renkei" or group limit breaks or anything...

    Servers have been shitty all day, not too surprised but sucks. Hope they can get a save, but at the same time would probably be a better game if Iccup starts from scratch again and maybe don't feed 4kills right away.

    Well I had people last week that were awful if that's what you're asking. Legacy players though might be a special kind of awful. There's probably some good guilds in them that were doing all the hard content first and what not but most of them are you average shitty player. In fact considering...

    I don't remember the values but I didn't feel like GW2 xp boosts were any useful and worth their cost. Probably because base xp was good to begin with(modern wow lvling curve, 2days and a half played to cap or whatever it was). On the other hand, I wouldn't have considered playing planetside 2...

    Yeah I know I did 2 dungeons on my MRD last week and both of them had a different CNJ only using water knockback for absolutely no reason but no other DPS otherwise just standing there at full mana doing jackshit. Was pretty sad. But eh I guess that's how it goes in mmos, pubs are basically 80%...

    How to do damage as a CNJ: make sure to use your instant knockback on pull, preferably on the mob the tank targetted first. It does good damage and isn't annoying at all. But in the early dungeons shit doesn't die that fast that you can't get a stone or two off on each mob. The issue mostly is...

    The caster pointed out that some of these teams are LoL teams that picked up the game for this tournament. Which is probably why they're awful at denying. OD should win the lane if he denies zeus which is easy when he's banished, yet this OD only had like 10denies in 10minutes. Game 1 was so...

    The biggest tell that they're not very experienced is that they do trilanes but don't use them properly. Especially those defensive trilanes that are not pulling. They go kotl SD but they're not pulling/kotl farming easy camp/contesting top runes. They even wasted money dewarding the pull yet...

    Well the thing I don't like about subs personally is that you can't check out the games a few months later if you unsubbed without paying again. I wish all sub based games had an automatic feature where if you haven't played for say 3months, they give you 5days free every 3months so you can...

    Korean dota starting. So far VERY standard picks/bans. Standard picks(kinda) but weird laning, they sent a wisp rubick ck trilane on offensive, which generally no one does anymore because wisp can't get levels from an offensive trilane most of the time. Luckily they're killing. Lots of small...

    The problem in PoE is you can't find the stat easy. It doesn't pop on most items, pops in small values and competes with better stuff(like ES or life or resists whatever) but mostly the issue is even with a high % recovery, due to CI and stun mechanics you'll still get ministunned all the...

    The air to air and ground to air shit was a mess because there was literally 0 viable options without buying an upgrade, which is why so many people spent money on them. At the same time anyone who spent money on air to ground rockets for ESF or the Dalton(or maybe it was the other one) for the...

    If you tell a basic wow player that he can see the new raid in 2years(1year if you release expansion at a non blizzard pace), it'd probably the same as telling him he won't see it ever. But I agree otherwise, it's just if you're targetting a certain type of "players" you sadly can't gate your...

    Path of Exile

    I doubt it's viable, unless they added stuff with a lot of stun recovery and even then. Block recovery wouldn't work cause your block% is in general not going to be over 50% if that so you'd still get stun locked. Without Chayula or Unwavering I don't really see it happening.

    It's a bug with their servers shit happens every now and then it seems. Might be a drophack though don't know, but the timing is always the same for it when people bitch about it on the forums/reddit, so I'm more leaning toward their servers being shit at times.

    Yeah that looked pretty cool, combat looked interesting and a lot of customization in the character, think I'll buy it if the reviews aren't horrible, don't really care if it's not a traditional FF since they haven't made a good one in forever anyway.

    HoN, LoL and Dota2 don't send info from the fog. Different game types, but that's how it is. It created issues actually in early beta because every ability coming out of the fog would be considered shot from 0,0 location, which for pudge hook made it look really weird, but they eventually fixed...

    It's an automatic tool, it's expected that a decent amount of your groups are going to be complete shit. I guess they could add a kick feature but with even group numbers, you wouldn't get a kick vote in a lot of cases. Can still do dungeons with guild people and shit like that. Looking at...

    I've ran all of BRD at "once", which was really like a 5-6hours experience, doing all the quests in there. A lot of the areas were simply completely worthless in terms of loot and were just there for quests. Pretty much half the bosses in there had a single blue in their loot table(that they...

    That's not exactly true. For most people, BRD was horrible and for most people BRD was only the king run with a key, you can bet most people who played vanilla wow didn't even know how to get the key.
