I had quite a bit of success with Tristana and a support Nunu and support Shen on my main account last night. Tristana really is strong early game with a decent setup with your lane partner. It's also really fun forcing people into Nunu's ult with my knockback or stopping multiple people from escaping with a well timed rocket jump. Shen's taunt is also a lot of fun to setup kills. Not to mention setting up a rocket jump, while Shen ults to you for a nasty surprise. There

Appreciate the response Jon :) I'm a little surprised at the hostility towards campaigns to be honest. To me, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want an added layer of playability to a game. You don't have to touch the campaign at all if you don't want, but please don't dismiss it entirely for those that are interested...
Never really had an interest in trying Heroes of Newerth, but I would probably give DOTA 2 a try, although I never played the original in Warcraft 3. Good games last night Pacov. Although I think we have yet to properly be tested in bottom lane, we are definitely getting a better idea of each other's playstyles. I have actually rarely played Tristana, so it's quite helpful to practice with her. Her play style synergizes with Ali quite well actually. I think we can really set u
My guess is that the aliens wanted to make Noah into some kind of sleeper agent for them, possibly with some sort of adult version of the harness. It would be cool to get an inside look at the 'starbases' this season. Vive le resistance?
Not sure if it's legit, but came across this in the pcgamer comments: http://www.beamdog.com/files/newsletters/BGEE/bgannounce.jpg
I thought we generally did well together. Still getting a feel for balancing our aggression levels. The last game, we really should have won, but we didn't have enough CC to stop Poppy/Fiora and Fiora got too fed from weak top lane. If I had been a carry with an attack steroid, life would have been a lot easier. Poppy's late game is so strong.
Official return date has been released (June 17th) http://www.tv.com/news/tnt-sets-return-dates-for-summer-including-falling-skies-28110/
I expect a re-release. Considering the direction taken with the Dragon Age franchise after Origins, any new release would be such a disappointment to the original fans. -insert- "streamlining" "accessibility" "appealing to wider audience and new players"
I did try and get Tristana. I had already previously liked Riot on Facebook and it re-liking didn't seem to work properly. I'll try it again. Did you have success with it twice?
Good to know. Thanks Pacov. I enjoy Kog.
I've always liked campaigns. It's great for a first playthrough. My only issue would be if the sandbox mode suffered in any way. I thought the scenarios/missions in Fall From Heaven were fun.
@Pacov I was kind of thinking of making a smurf actually. I'm finding it more fun to just play around these days than stagnating on solo queue. I will use your referral link when I get around to making the account (possibly tonight) edit: play around isn't what I really mean. Learning specific roles is important to me too.
[quote who="TorinReborn" reply="14" id="3100243"]Didn't you just say highly rated? How does that go hand in hand with a crap show like Falling Skies?[/quote] Ratings don't always pertain to critical ratings. I was referring to the viewership ratings. The show premiered with 5.9 million viewers which is very high for cable and for TNT. Terra Nova has already been canceled and Alcatraz is likely to be as well. I stand by my earlier point.
I'm thankful to have any highly rated Sci-Fi show on TV at all...Considering the rebranding to Syfy, cable is our best hope for anything new. I wouldn't expect to see a lot of spending in this genre for the foreseeable future, especially with the recent ratings failures for Terra Nova and Alcatraz. I admit the show isn't fantastic, but it adequately scratches an itch and it's not like there are a lot of other options right now.
June 5th is actually when Season 1 comes out on DVD, but I would expect the Season 2 premiere to be around that time as well.
Finally back in action! Played a few games of dominion last night without any problems. Fiora didn't seem like a great pick on that map. Too squishy, but did seem to have strong dmg.
Computer is still out of action :( Getting LoL withdrawal! Praying that the new hard drive I bought gets things going again...once it gets past customs.
Thanks for the tip Karl. I would have been on last night, but my computer is having some major issues. Hoping to get it fixed up for the weekend. Has it really been since Dec that we played? Yikes... Corki and Taric with exhaust sounds like a fun combo!
Maybe invest in a pair of headphones that can plug into each other? Then you can both listen to whatever you want with impunity!
Sounds intriguing. So it's a hybrid of RTS and DOTA essentially? That could be tricky to make both elements fun. Also, if you had a bad commander it could ruin your game, despite having stronger players as the Heroes. Looks like the Publisher (Infinite Games) is also behind Mechwarrior Online.
Sounds like some great developments! Excited to try them out.
Was anyone asking for a fundamental change to combat? Legitimately asking. It's always had issues. I mean there was nothing more frustrating than a battleship losing to a settler in the 1st one! Losing on 95+% chances of victory in Civ IV caused me many facepalms, but it didn't turn me off the game. Maybe it's just me... I never felt that the Civ series deliberately tried to cash in on itself before Civ V. I bought every expansion and didn't regret it. Now I feel like
I would love to be able to pick the bots I am against in Coop vs AI. Picking their lane matchups would be cool too. They are much too easy still. Cass is beast though.
So are the DLC civilizations included in the "new civilizations"? Also, DLC civilizations is the worst thing to happen to the Civ series. Never again!
I'm actually hooked on dominion right now. I enjoy the fact that when you have a bad team, the game is over extremely fast. One game was so bad, it was over in 9 minutes! This also works the other way around of course. I've been playing Ashe and generally kicking ass and taking names. Unless my team is quite bad, it's usually a win for sure. It's nice to be able to play through several games in the time it would take me to play only a few games of SR. I think SR is ult
