    Shadowrun Returns

    Doesn't it look exactly like the concept screens they posted during the kickstarter campaign? I don't get how you could have backed the game based on these and say it doesn't look like what you expected. Hell when I clicked the thread the other day I thought it was a video of the old stuff cause...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Path of Exile is closer to D2 than this, at least from what I've heard. I heard it's an ok game, but not a great one for the genre, unless you have a hard on for super heroes. I haven't gotten into a beta so I don't know first hand but meh I have a hard time seeing how it could be better than...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Oh right forgot about that one, but it was so simple it didn't even register as a puzzle, considering the answer is in the message right next to the puzzle, and not in a cryptic form. By that time in DDO you had a bunch of puzzles like the one where you have to move squares with links on them...

    Neverwinter: PC

    It's not really a mmo, it's like Guild Wars(first one not 2nd one). Or a better comparison I think, it's very much like a korean F2P game, say Dragon Nest. There's areas where it's "open" where you can see a few players but it's like 12ppl per instance or something so you just see a few people...

    DOTA 2

    They've apparently been working behind the scenes on the next batch of heroes though, there's quite a few textures updates in the files for Bristleback, TC, Abaddon and Skywrath. I wouldn't be surprised if they chain release heroes this month. They definitely are releasing stuff a lot slower now...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Na I mean that I know, but if you go on the skill page, there's a button at the bottom for Paragon stuff, which is specialization as far as I can tell. There's currently only one paragon per class. However once on that screen I can't get the skills to show anymore, but earlier I managed to check...

    Server down apparently. How do you see your Paragon skills? Earlier when I checked I could see the Stormcaller skills but now I can't seem to do it anymore.

    Neverwinter: PC

    Played a bit, now stuck on a loading screen downloading some file at 20kb/s for whatever the fuck reason. So far pretty unimpressed. The animations are clunky and sometimes desync when performing multiple in a row(for example dodge backward then attack right away, half of the attack animation...

    Path of Exile

    Look on the forums for a Lightning Arrow build. Marauder variation is probably the easiest and tankiest but might be a bit hard to pull off early on, just about any class can make a variation. With that said to only clear on normal, any build is fine.

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    Well it's not a MMO apparently, so it's going to be a Ultima-esque kind of game with co-op play. Sounds good enough in my book. The game does look like shit but if they started developping a few months ago it's gonna look like shit that's pretty obvious. I don't really get the hate, but I...

    Don't know if Cyclone will work with 2H though, I asked a lot of questions on the skill but no dev answered, there's a ton of unknowns about the skill, like what weapons can it use, how does it scale, can it be interupted(manually or by enemies stuns), does it benefit from DW, is it an AoE etc...

    Path of Exile

    He doesn't swap out BM gems. What he does he uses blood magic on his main spell, so he doesn't use the passive. That lets him cast his auras on mana as usual, with reduced mana. What he does before that is equip the Covenant which gives Blood Magic temporarily, so he casts Grace on his health at...

    Path of Exile

    Well it depends on the skill you're using and the supports. Might need to grab 1pt in the mana on kill passive they added at the bottom right, or grab arcane efficiency or another mana% node. Alternatively using mana leech on your skill should fix a few issues. I don't think it alone can...

    Path of Exile

    The issues with melee aren't fixed. It was viable before and is viable now, it's just not efficient and a lot riskier than anything not melee. It's certainly better though, get 2% block out of it, a lot more damage, some good health and some insane mana regen so you can skip blood magic and run...

    Path of Exile

    They could make a bunch of the skills into supports instead but I guess they're not interested in reducing the amount of skills until they add more. Puncture for example would be a great support, currently it's just a shitty skill, it's only good with a bow and even then it's not that good...

    Wonder if it's too late for this weekend, did the PCgamer stuff, after about half a dozen of reloads I got an easy question(how many screenshots on page 89) so I just tested a few numbers and it was 6, now I have to wait for the key though then I guess enter it on the website but if they already...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Lotro had a lifetime sub and it worked out alright for that. I mean, it never was a wow killer, but it's as old as wow and still going, even though they did have to go F2P a few years back(but apparently the F2P wasn't too bad for it since every now and then I saw people bumping the thread with...

    Path of Exile

    I think they were just normalizing those/making them more balanced. For example now Cleave is the same as ground slam. Ground slam being 4% and Cleave being 3% didn't make much sense for example. It's still a buff, and an easy to do one so that's nice. It's obviously not the main issue with...

    They released the patch notes for 10.2, it will go live later today or tomorrow if they run into a bug stopping issue. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/227309 Quite a few melee buffs, mostly via improving the duellist area a lot(which will improve most melees around it), slight...

    DOTA 2

    Her ulti lasts 5secs. After that yeah you're kinda fucked, you might be able to splitshot them down as they spawn but most likely you won't and once the numbers are too big it'll splitshot randomly and not kill shit anymore and you're oom in 3secs at that point and dead. I don't think she's a PL...

    DOTA 2

    Hmm unless there's mechanics I'm not aware of, you're never going to get illusions that can survive the gaze(assuming equal/close levels). It does 1500dmg at 16 and illusions takes +350% dmg, so they take 6750dmg premitigation and even with the magic resist on phantom edge, you're still looking...

    In case someone missed it btw, they posted about next week's patch. Bunch of stuff as expected, seems they're done with the "release" rush so they're going back to making actual patches now. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/vie.../213675/page/1

    Path of Exile

    It shocks on hits with static blows too, and the quality on LA increases the likelyhood it actually does since it increases shock duration(so lower treshold to shock).
  25. Pyros

    Path of Exile

    LA scales stupidly because every hit creates an aoe that hits every target, with chain that means 3 AoE per shot and with LMP that's 9 AoEs per shot, that will hit every mob once each if they're packed enough. It leads to really stupid stuff and it melts packs of mobs really fast especially...

    Path of Exile

    Maps drop rates are definitely not affected by groups, it'd suck if it were since that's basically force you to group. However what is affected is currency drops, and currency is extremely important once you want to progress further than 85 or so since you start having to chaos all your maps...

    Path of Exile

    That sounds actually pretty cheap, expected more than that especially for the spiders. Main issue I see with these reskins is I don't see how they're going to reskin melee abilities. Even ranged attacks to an extent, but like how would you reskin cleave, do you just add fancy lightnings or...
  29. Pyros

    Path of Exile

    I think they'd probably sell more if they were cheaper, but eh whatever I don't really care, only bought a bunch of stash tabs, still have a few points left so I might get a shitty cosmetic effect or whatever and maybe I'll buy more points if they reskin a spell I like. I wouldn't really buy...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah I don't know, if there were database leaks and shit, there would be so many more people getting hacked. They'd just automate the process and loot accounts 100 by 100, but unless a lot of people don't say anything when they get hacked, this is just not the case. There's a normal amount of...

    Why Ys?

    Well in Oath and Origins, the story wasn't the strong point so doubt it's very useful. I guess you see the early parts of the saga. Didn't know combat wasn't the same, probably won't bother then, the thing that really made Oath and Origins(but mostly Oath) great games was the insane combat...

    Why Ys?

    Are the chronicles any good? Seems they're new so they're still a bit expensive, I'll wait for a sale but just wondering for when they go on sale. I played Origins and Oath in Felghana already.

    DOTA 2

    You type dota_range_display x(not sure what the max range on bear is nowadays, 900? 1200? anyway you type that). Might need to adjust range since it might start from your hitbox borders instead of the center so it might be like 30 units further or whatever. If you want to automate the process...

    Was it really numpad? Fuck it's been so long I have no idea how I was playing FFXI, other than the menus were clunky as fuck and the pace was like one action every 6secs.

    DOTA 2

    Triple "supports" trilane are generally strong as fuck, because it's all heroes that are very strong in lane due to early scaling and shit, and since no one's a squishy asshole with no damage or CC like the people you usually support, it becomes a rapefest as soon as you can pull the trigger...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well movement is one thing, but there's also targetting. Targetting without a mouse, meaning with a stick, is pretty shitty. I guess if you're used to it it's not so bad but placing aoes and shit is gonna be annoying as fuck I think if you want to quickly drop one in another position. At the...

    Yeah I know about the text entry but that's fucking horrible to type shit with and last I played D3, you had to spend a decent amount of time doing AH stuff anyway. I guess having a keyboard or those chatpad things would help a lot but it seems pretty shitty, doing multiple AH searches in a row...

    Friend of mine was invited and he didn't buy the game at release, not even sure he was in the original beta before it launched because I think I told him not to bother. So they are inviting some random people, but probably not many. It's fine for me since we often share stuff so I'll get to play...

    The real question is how do you use the auction house with a gamepad? Are you gonna write stuff on the touchpad and it recognizes text or will you need a keyboard?
