The game is really fun. The combat can be a little unforgiving in the early part if you are underleveled and unfamiliar with the element system like I was, but VERY worth it to soldier through. Not unlike the crpgs during the Black Isle days that this game successfully emulates and improves upon. I would say ignore the fact that this is a Divinity title. I haven't played a single Divinity game, but my impression is they are action rpgs? Beyond some characters and lore callba
It depends on your playstyle obviously, but for newer players, I wouldn't recommend a Wizard start. IMHO, the most efficient start is Warrior. You only need one building and you can throw some cheap armor on him and usually be able to take at least one province within 1-2 turns. Exploring your home province should be secondary to securing as many provinces as you can as fast as you can. Skip straight to swordsman and healers as the other tier 1 units are a waste of time and money. Once yo
As for the OP, I was hoping for a low 80 and planning for a mid to high 70. Kinda late to the party but oh wells! @user reviews: I'm going to have to backup Xia partly here. You have to actively filter through user reviews to find useful ones. It isn't as hard in a niche genre like TBS to figure out which reviews come from people who know what they are talking about, but with huge titles like Diablo 3, it's a lot more difficult...TONS of people rated that game based on the
Speaking as someone who really wanted to get into the Europa Universalis series, but found it a little too daunting, I can't recommend this game enough. The UI can be overwhelming at first, but I found after I watched some 'Let's Play' vids on youtube, and had a few playthroughs myself, I learned the ropes pretty quickly. The game is truly massive in terms of content and re-playability even without any DLC. Definitely going to buy the latest expansion!
Wow, HUGE changes coming to PBE detailed in this unofficial change log: http://www.reignofgaming.net/news/22043-unoffical-pbe-changes-for-10-18-2012-splash So they have remade Twisted Treeline plus added several new specific items for the map.

Spider Queen a reality!!! Riot just announced 'The Shadow Isles' promotion: http://promo.leagueoflegends.com/shadow-isles/en.html Which besides the announcement of The Spider Queen also includes RP/IP purchasable ward skins, new champion skins, new summoner icons, and some lore updates. I was having trouble with the promo site so here is ROG's thing on it. <a href="http://www.reignofgaming.net/news
King's Bounty: Warriors of the North finally confirmed for release Oct 26! Steam has 10% off, a free upgrade to the "Valhalla Edition" and a free copy of Fantasy Wars. http://store.steampowered.com/app/203350/ A very similar deal on Gamer's Gate as well (10% off and upgrade to "Valhalla Edition"), except you get a free copy of King's Bounty: The Legend, instead of Fantasy Wars. <a href="http://www.gamersgate.com
Sounds like some exciting changes. Making the jungle more difficult and rewarding should reduce lane camping atleast a bit, which is particularly good for top lane. Reworking support items and how supports get gold seems to suggest gp/10 items could be going entirely or changing a lot. I know Riot has been unhappy about junglers and top lane using gp/10 for awhile. Outside of support, less passive gold gaining is probably a positive thing, assuming junglers will have less gold issues
A new support by 2013 is a welcome thing to hear. Some more interesting news here: http://www.reignofgaming.net/news/21922-the-news-roundup-honor-results-non-mana-based-ad Includes: -Honour working as intended? -Manaless AD carry possible? -date and duration change for double IP to Friday Oct 19th at 11:59pm Pacific time for 48 hours. </p
This article got me pretty excited! http://www.pcgamer.com/previews/star-citizen-preview-the-open-world-space-sim-of-our-dreams/ Edit: A preview of his new project
I'm likely going to start playing LOL again soon. I think it's been long enough and I'm starting to miss it. I'll probably want to practice a bit, but would love to pick up some games with you guys soon. That's cool that you were recruited for a team Pacov!
I'm still alive! Haven't been playing LOL. Kind of needed to take a little hiatus from it. Plus I've been obsessed with Crusader Kings II. Great game! Still following this thread and will likely end up back on LOL eventually. Hope all is well.
I accept blame for my horrible Darius play. I had about 250 ping for the first 3-5min and Xin got a level on me, then I died in a close fight. That's what started the Xin snowball. To be honest, the game where I was Graves and stayed bot when we lost, I just didn't care anymore. The games had been so negative, I really wasn't interested in helping anyone else. If I did, blame would have been thrown around anyways. Terrible for the team, but that's how I felt. I don't even
I don't blame you for your frustration at all Karl, but maybe go easy on the whole blaming everyone thing for your jungle being slow in the one game, when it was 100% that random Gragas who ruined our game. KrdaxDrkrun and I should have responded faster, but honestly I was just stunned by the whole thing. I don't think I've seen that happen since I was below lvl 3
[quote who="pacov" reply="1451" id="3203042"]I don't think we should have to make some rule for our games that you can't rotate lanes or change up the meta as a strategy. I also don't know why, if it was a real concern, that folks couldn't just rotate to a different lane if there was a problem.[/quote] I wasn't saying there should be rules necessarily, or that we shouldn't do things outside of the meta. I'm just saying that the meta is what people know, so
(Disclaimer: not trying to blame or single out anyone, this is just my thinking and trying to help out) Rage quits is something I figured we wouldn't have to deal with in these team nights. It's really lame. In the last game, did I rage quit after JK walked into a bush with 5 people in it giving first blood, after we already saw them AND I pinged to fallback? (sorry JK) I thought I handled that rather well. It wasn't that hard really. To be fair, we did start the game with
Well I'm glad you like her and I'm not sure why I seem to have offended you...Just giving my personal opinion after looking at the champion spotlight. Still seems like lazy design to use Akali's ult again. I actually don't remember Ahri being called an Akali clone. I wouldn't have made that comparison.
Thank god on the Zyra nerfs...she was doing insane dmg, with barely any itemization. Ganking her mid pre-nerf was pretty much impossible without one person dying. Not a whole lot of interest in Diana. She seems like they just took Akali and changed her mechanics a little so she could jungle and added a curved skillshot to say look we have curved skillshots! Oh and a Leona passive. Armchair champion designer here.
Will check out the vids for sure. Here's a great LOL thread on kill lane partners: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2295597 Actually really well done and some sound really fun! I've been against a Nautilus, Blitzcrank bot before...It was truly brutal.
[quote who="pacov" reply="1381" id="3199746"]Any vote for what night we designate as aram, etc night? Tues/thurs? What do you guys think about me doing summoner's rift games as a custom where we pick up folks if we have > 6? I've never done one of these, so I'm not sure if folks join that sort of thing, etc. [/quote] Maybe Tuesday = aram, etc night? I'm assuming you mean randoms joining to make 5v5? I'm
