It's not gonna be worse, but I don't think it'll be particularly impressive. Like Cataclysm level. Also, they took the ability pruning and simplification of specs to such an extreme length that I think people will get tired of WoW very quickly in Legion and subscriptions will plummet only...

There wasn't necessarily anything extremely wrong with garrisons, it's just that Blizzard thought that it could substitute for actual gameplay. If they hadn't removed almost all everyday activities from WoD, as if the existence of garrisons meant nobody had any desire to do dungeons, dailies...

Does this still use the hackjob mac client or whatever?

I'm sure "long enough" in P99 terms is something like eight years. How long was the server stuck with Kunark?

Ability pruning is fine, but they've taken it to such an extreme end of the spectrum that my spec feels downright primitive now. They've stripped away practically everything that doesn't pertain to the actual rotation. It's starting to feel boring. When you start to take away stuff like...

They sure went balls to the walls with the dumbing-down of classes. This seems like kind of a big gamble in an expansion where they desperately need to steady the ship and avoid controversies. If Legion is another miss, it could genuinely be the beginning of the end for WoW. Massively...

It's also because Vitality Totem was rotated out, increasing Tuskarr's odds of giving you a good totem for aggro. Basically you have an almost 50% chance to get an absurd outcome that makes the card bizarrely broken. Totem Golem from an on-curve Tuskarr is practically game-ending on the spot...

What's the console vs. PC situation? I know there isn't cross-platform, but is the console community taken seriously or is that just casual second-rate status? I heard the game is being balanced differently for console, does that mean competitive play is only on PC?

What do people generally consider to be the problems with this game? I'm thinking about buying it but I haven't played an FPS in fucking years and years, so I'm a little hesitant and would like to know if there's anything significant wrong with it. Like does it have the same kind of ungodly...

It's almost as if they're trying to make money off of the work they do!! Honestly, if Blizzard were to provide official legacy servers that require nothing more than a subscription and up-to-date account, it'll be a huge boon to the countless players who are looking for this, and way more...

Buy the adventures with cash. $50 should get you BRM and LoE. You can't buy packs for these cards, the only way to get them is by buying the adventures, and the gold cost is prohibitively high. If there's any money left, buy a few classic packs. Then just spend your gold on packs. For a good...

It's been lambasted for being almost vanilla levels of primitive and for being wholly RNG-dependent. Apparently your rotation is the renamed equivalents of Sinister Strike, Slice & Dice and Eviscerate, and the finisher gives you a random buff where some of them are hugely powerful and others are...

Considering how much demand there is, it's bizarre how there has never been a good TBC server. You'd think it would be easier to make than a vanilla server if you grant level boosts to 58 so that you can leave all the vanilla content in a buggy mess because nobody needs to do it. That leaves you...

My god... Someone gave me their copy of Fallout 4 because it sucks a bit, so I decided to give it a go. I named my character Fuckface McAmerican Inventorjew, and at the start of the game, that robot butler came up to me and said, with voice acting, "Mr. Fuckface!" I laughed so hard I needed my inhaler...

This is total TGT deja-vu. I'm seeing all the same signs of a similar expansion. The meta will change significantly because of the loss of Naxx and GvG, and nerfs to certain classic cards, but I see no more than maybe a dozen WotOG cards that are certain to be played seriously. I don't believe...

I've always found that the boss fights are actually the worst part of the Souls games, and that's even more true in DS3. Most of the bosses are so irritating and cheap, not necessarily difficult but just steeped in bothersome mechanics and frustrating shit that can lead to RNG deaths. For...

The nerdy answer is that time is actually distorted in the Souls universe, which is why candles don't burn out and structures will last for thousands of years with only moderate decay. It's part of the lore somewhere (probably some random item's description) that time basically stands still...

Its base damage is really low, though, so the S scaling is effectively more like B scaling. The thing can't be infused or buffed, either. It has an interesting weapon art, but I don't really put much stock in the buff ones as they cost a considerable amount of mana, can't really be applied...

Why do all these Souls games feel like magic is some kind of unofficial mod cobbled together by incompetent amateurs and grafted onto a game that wasn't meant to have it? I love these games, but I have never seen so awful a magic system elsewhere. It's literally the worst magic system in modern...

I highly doubt that. Even if a few do say so, it's an opinion so patently retarded that nobody would take them seriously. They would be harassed out of whatever community they vomited such nonsense onto. It shouldn't be a concern at all. However, Blizzard and their whitest knights have thus far...

I think the gameplay is way better than DS1, whose latter half was a cobbled-together mess. It's also mechanically superior, which is generally to be expected a console generation later. DS1 had some severe performance issues and frankly ran like ass, and it had more objectively bullshit parts...

I'd bet money that no C'Thun deck will ever be good and they've designed all that shit for nothing. I've never been less hyped for an expansion than this. Between the nonsensical decision to devote a sizeable portion of the set to one specific deck that probably won't be competitively viable...

It's funny how on any model bigger than a regular hollow, the backstab animation sends your weapon directly up the enemy's asshole.

These are the sweet spots: Vigor: 27 Endurance: 40 Strength/dexterity: 40 Intelligence/faith: 60 (only if you're building an actual spellcaster, which seems to suck in this game) Attunement: 35 (for mana purposes) That's where those stats hit diminishing returns. You generally never...

It's definitely way less generous with the souls than DS2 was. Feels more akin to DS1. In DS2, enemies in the second area gave like 500 souls each and you could be level 70 a couple of hours into the game. Here, enemies give like 30-50 souls and you don't get tens of thousands for consuming boss...

I know that, but sometimes you don't get the key until you're several areas further in. The amount of doors one has to remember to go back for is a little silly. They aren't always just shortcuts that you open five minutes later, and the key isn't always obtained in the same area.

Getting a bit tired of doors that don't open from this side, or locked with no sign of a key. It feels like I have to start keeping a journal of doors I've left unopened and need to return to later. There's like 2+ of them in every fucking area, including the goddamn tutorial.

Firebombs wreck them.

They can drop whatever weapon they're visually wielding, i.e. spears and swords. I haven't tried the spear, but the sword is really good. It's the only straight sword in the game with 110 critical damage, and it has the moveset that the longsword had in DS2 (and no longer has in DS3) with...

Once in a while, you absorb an orange soul from shit you kill instead of the usual white soul. This restores one Estus charge. Same as how you would occasionally gain humanity from killing something in Dark Souls 1.

Does poise work on the player side? I'm wearing the full knight set and literally every hit I take staggers me, including weak swipes from crappy hollows with broken swords. It feels like the stat simply doesn't function. Literally any and every hit I ever take is a guaranteed stagger. I get...

It has been absolutely flawless on PS4, insofar as 30 FPS can be considered flawless. I've yet to witness any hint of lag, no crashes, and it has been 100% perfection every second of play for about 12 hours total. A lot of people have been laughing at console users, but I personally find 30 FPS...

Dunno. If there's any anti-farming code, it's not universal, at least. I farmed that Lothric Knight near the second bonfire for like an hour to get my Lothric Knight Sword, and due to bad luck, I got the full set as well as numerous Titanite Shards and other assorted crap in the process. Drop...

Those tentacle-sprouting hollows in High Wall of Lothric drop them every time. I think there's two of them, both pretty close to bonfires. They're a bit of a bitch to fight but very vulnerable to fire. Presumably this is an infinite source of embers.

It looks like you get more healing per flask from casting 3x Heal Aid or whatever it's called, and chugging an Ashen Estus, than just drinking a regular Estus. If you're patient enough to stand there and spam heals after fights, it's an economically sound approach if one has trouble getting from...

Liking it so far, but it feels harder than both DS1 and DS2. Especially harder than DS2. The kind of shit you encounter in the first post-tutorial area puts both Undead Burg and Forest of Fallen Giants to shame. The mobs are so brutal and unpredictable, and hit really hard even against heavy...

Careful what you wish for, they'll make a show about Mike 20 years ago when he was an accountant, and it'll be all about the office politics of his accounting firm, with just the barest hints of the badass that he'll one day become. Honestly, while this show has its moments, it's a pathetic...

So, how's this coming along? It should be picking up since it's been open for months and it was only a matter of time before-- huh? What? Oh. I see. But definitely no to boxing, because that would kill the server.

That's now the worst card in the game. Two years and six expansions in, they print a card that's worse than everything prior. That's insultingly bad design. That's an insult to paying cutomers. You can't opt out of getting these cards when you buy packs, so they have an obligation to...

Doesn't change the fact that right now, it being absolute peak, the busiest any game/server ever is (weekend evening), there's... nine players online. Months after opening the server, you've got single-digit numbers during peak weekend hours. It's a nice bit of comedy to hear people claim that...
