Depends on the difficulty. So far hacking seems profoundly not worth it the majority of the time. The benefits are usually pretty minor but the consequences for failure can be horrific. When you have to hack as a mission objective (i.e. no chance of failure) make sure you bring a specialist...

What general stuff? I haven't seen anything aside from corpses, which still drop when you use explosives. I did see a 'such and such has been destroyed' message once early in my last campaign that I assume was the pick up gear that would have dropped when he died.

In my experience only one enemy per mission can drop loot and it's only destroyed if an explosive deals the death blow. I pretty much always take two grenadiers, between the cover destruction, longer range on the launcher, and experimental grenades, I think they're probably the best all around...

Are you shitting me? The roadrunner chase is hysterical. You should watch Shaolin Soccer, it isn't as good but it's still really funny. My favorite moment in the movie is when Coolie catches the lighter before it lands on the two girls drenched in gas.

and I thought the English dub was terrible.

Advanced Warfare WITH an engineer staffing it speeds up heals. It also allows you to respec soldiers, and gives you a chance to get a random free perk on ranking up. The perks are super random, often useless, and not terribly common. The proving ground is the first facility you have to build to...

I went ahead and started over. Campaign might have been fine since I hadn't taken any soldier losses yet, but whatever. I've decided the warfare center rush was a huge waste. Beagle was either getting incredibly lucky or else he modded the random ability list, because he was pretty consistently...

Oh I don't know why this wasn't covered in the tactical tutorial (I always play the tutorial once just to see it) but there is also a waypoint system for movement. Hold down ctrl and you can dictate the exact path your soldier takes if you're trying to avoid being spotted. *edit* Also for...

Also there are TONS more alien types. I'd say I'm maybe halfway through a campaign (thats when they said Centurions should start showing up) and I'd say I've already seen as many different enemy types as there were in all of EW/EU.

The game is much faster paced, most of the missions are timed. As far as the geoscape goes, it's basically what I imagine the alien geoscape looked like during EU/EW. Instead of starting with the whole world and trying to defend it, you start with a single region and have to spread out. There...

I seem to recall her being fine brawling with Luke Cage and being hit by a van. Must have been a kryptonite 2x4.

Good chance I'm going to fail my first playthrough, spent so much time dicking around and looking at everything that I wasn't making contact so my income stayed pretty low, and now the Avatar project is damn near finished already so I have to absolutely scramble to start knocking bars off the...

lol, nice. I really dig the new complexity of the choose one or the other for dark event counters. I just had one where I really would have rather had an engineer instead of a cpl sharpshooter, but I decided I'd rather deal with a shortened retaliation cycle instead of an entire month of...

Lotta new mechanics to get used too also, concealment is a bit complicated. *edit* and this is why I rushed the warfare center, even though it's likely going to delay my proving ground by close to 2 months

Well you have to build the facility that lets you train leaders, you don't start with it built, and yeah the description for the centurion said he shows up around the midpoint of the campaign.

Well if you're a pussy you might not want to play with the Muton Centurion turned on. Turning on the mods immediately gave my existing campaign access to the SMG, so I guess I'll keep going until I get guerilla tactics built and see if the leader class is in there. *edit* my tactical UI...

rofl totally forgot about the LWS mods, so I'm probably gonna have to start over. Only a couple missions in anyway.

Owl is one of the most broken cards in the game. They undoubtedly won't change it, but it needs it badly. Spellbreaker is roughly what a balanced neutral silence looks like. Keeper of the Grove is what a powerful class silence looks like.

That seems more like a question for Shen, not us.

Bah. And it was saving 60 bucks. Allegedly.

I wonder how much money it's going to cost them as people become less interested in dumping money on packs to get dust to craft golden cards. I imagine it's balanced out by preserving the long term health of the game.

Yeah I know a guy who was going to hypothetically gift it to someone from a throwaway steam account. Will that still get someone banned?

Would this work with Russia if, hypothetically speaking, someone wanted to get the Russian price for something on steam?

Yeah, you could say he was real blue.

They need something to replace minibot and muster. Maybe not so powerful, but without something to shore up the early game they're going to be inconsistent garbage aside from murloc. Without the ability to contest the board early, paladin becomes completely reliant on drawing an early equality...

I'm not staying up til 1am to play tonight but I'll probably be too excited to sleep well and be up early as hell. DEATH TO RACE TRAITORS!!!

I doubt it. Without chow, minibot, or muster, paladin will once again have a completely abysmal early game. Dragon might be slightly better than vanilla paladin was, but that's not saying much.

In this meta, yes. In a down-powered no naxx/no gvg meta? Remains to be seen. Not counting whatever comes out in the new set, standard will have Holy Light, Guardian of Kings, and Refreshment Vendor as options. I left out Tuskarr Jouster and Tournament Medic because I don't think they'll fit/be...

murloc otk should actually be even stronger in the new meta.

Polymorph Boar - kill boar with Hemet. I am the greatest mage player ever. *edit* Then lost anyway because this faggot warrior got TWO Juggernauts from Golden Monkey, and I lost a 50/50 on the second one with lethal in hand.

Good. Xenonauts had a lot of promise, but ultimately it was just a more balanced but a lot more boring remake of the original. Still, it wasn't bad, and they actually managed to make the air game kinda fun, so I'm sure they'll do well with the sequel.

It's pretty obvious what he meant you turds.

Doesn't matter to me I guess, arena is a complete shithole. Don't think I've even bothered since some time around early gvg.

I would guess that if it's wild mode drafting, it will be wild mode rewards. Maybe they'll add a standard arena.

Yeah I'll just wait until Friday morning.

Offline mode? I can't go 24 hours without achievements. Get fucked.

I don't need him to be a Vader clone, I just need him to not be a shit character.

If that's true im gonna have to figure out how the hell to do that. And a russian one while I'm at it.

In other words, it will be just like every single comic book ever written. Kiss my ass Tarrant.

I admit, suspending the blaster bolt in midair instead of just reflecting it was pretty amazing.
