Having some fun times in Nemesis with the following build from Shadow:
Shadow/Witch FP Life/Crit Build
Obviously I'm tweaking as I go
. I hit level 30 last night and similar builds from shadow pre-1.0 were a lot more squishy than I feel now, currently running with 900+hp which I'm pretty pleased with.What builds are people currently playing or looking to play?
-
I reinstalled it on Steam and linked my beta account and all is well
Did you notice periodic split second pauses once you'd done that, seems I was but wasn't sure if it was just 1.0 or Steam integration. I was most pleased that when I linked my account that the achieves I'd already got in game popped straight up in Steam once I viewed them. Pretty neat.

What a great launch night. Downloaded 1.9gig at 500kb/s 3 hours before launch, logged in on time and played all night with no hic ups. GGG pulled this launch night off a treat!

Guild names are not unique, only the tags are unique.

Nemesis I'm ready for you
.... Well maybe I'm ready ...Still; looking so forward to this release!

I've never really looked at PvP, I assume you need to use a SC toon for it? Or is there some kind of mechanic that lets you die in PvP but continue on in HC PvE?

The new Steam OS based off of Linux will be a heavy contender for Windows in the upcoming months. We should see a developer shift in focus going into 2014.
I don't see the SteamOS having any more or less of an impact on Windows than any console. You will still have a lot of developers coding in windows for Steam games. My understanding of the SteamOS is that you would be able to play all of the currently owned PC titles on it? Unless I've got that bit wrong? But even if you don't developers will still develop on their platform of choice and simply run SteamOS in parallel, like they do now for other platforms.

Was thinking about this for a while as well. Apparently, subscription revenue to Blizzard is shrinking...and I keep seeing more and more, actually tons of offers for free online browser games.
Blizzard was first, and made a whole lotta coin out of us, but, as with everything, competition makes everything so much harder to maintain as a monopoly?
If the info on Titan is true, I'm just curious as to how they work out the money grubbing for the title? Wolfie's last choice POE ...how do they do this?
And Online lotr...how did they bring in money for that HUGE online game... did they make us buy fancy saddles for the Riders of Rohan?
gogo
Subscription revenue is shrinking because WoW is old and the new content they are adding is not enough to keep peoples interest. PoE works off of company sponsorship's, like the recent "advertising" in a competition that gave the winners free stuff from that company, player donations(even post beta I can see them having new packs to allow people to continue to donate) and an in game store with a focus on cosmetics and no pay2win items (like addition bank space and a fluffy hat).
I think many people feel like there is a commitment to play when they are paying monthly. I don't know if I've spent more in the PoE model than the WoW one, I'd certain say so if I continue to play PoE for as long as WoW. On reflection I should be more in favor of the subscription model knowing that I'd probably end up not spending as much money in the long run but the additional freedom the PoE model gives me allows for me to pay for things when and if I want and that's why it will always be preferable and why more and more companies are switching to varying F2P modals.

Interesting, I wonder about mixing in ES nodes though to a life build, initially I thought it wouldn't be worth it. Will defiantly try that route of yours though from witch it certainly gives you more INT to play with. I guess I was going for soemthing a little less traditional with my approach and things like Ballistic Mastery in the Ranger tree looked like they could be very powerful for FP.

Hi guys, I still consider myself a complete noob at this fantastic game lol, and don't get nearly as much time as I'd like to play it what with the family et al. But I've been playing a Shadow Ice Crit build and dying lots lol! I'll play my current one to his demise but in the mean time I was toying around looking to see what his next incarnation will be and was considering this:
Because I'm self found only and pretty poor I'm aiming this as a FP life build, but I did wonder whether this would work out well or if it's just got too much dex to make it any good later on. Likely I'll die before but after this point I'd head up and around to the witch ice based nodes.
Comments more than welcome

This was a perfect game for my five year old (that's not me being sarcastic lol)... He loves it, though he didn't understand why I couldn't keep giving him new characters to play - "I've already bought you Spiderman and the Human Torch!!!"

Hmm doesn't really say a lot, and is the ARPG market quite possibly saturated atm /shrug

It's certainly not stats heavy
Is there a single MMO that is?
They all follow the same formula for stats to keep everything streamlined as much as possible. You've got a stat tied to health, one tied to reducing incoming damage, one that increases outgoing damage, one for healing power, and one for crit chance. I'd say most if not all MMO's follow that design as well.Well I tried Dungeons and Dragons online yesterday - not much to look at it, animation is decent, but the gameplay and stats, mechanics are pretty detailed
...and don't forget good old EQ, that's pretty stat heavy
, something I still pop on to occasionally for a bit of old school fun. -
Must admit I've not tried that combo, I end up just using FP, rounding troops up then dropping them all. The forest a nice little instance, but must admit I tend to run ledge more simply because it seems to yield more currency at the same time as decent leveling.
Will certainly look into the FT/PA method though.

Is SC5 any good these days? I haven't reinstalled it in months and months; SC5 was too much of a huge let down.
-
Not really looking for anything right now, was just something I wanted to gauge so that I didn't use currency that was better used late game. Had a play with the passives tree this morning to see how I could do a summoner build that can favor MF stats. Will defiantly have a go at that one, so will tell you how it goes
-
You know I didn't even notice it was an RMT site lol... Thanks, will use the main forums for values.
I think this is the biggest thing with me and this game, I get a bit lost with value of everything. That in itself hasn't been such an issue as I've been just soloing up and getting a feel for everything but it's now getting to a point where I'm thinking should I really be using all this stuff or should I be saving it for trading later on.

Useful Link: Currency Exchange Rates
Found it helpful to give a rough guide to currency values.

I should have read the league selections more closely, there's me playing in normal HC when Onslaught is HC too lol.
I think they could borrow the idea of guilds from MMOs, even be able to gain xp and level up the guild. Would be very nice if they look into that down the line (or maybe they are already?). Obviously this is beta and I'm not expecting all the bells and whistles but I'd like to see more chat functionality at the very least be able to open your own chat channels.
-
Grr lost my Shadow (RIP) last night, whilst I like the idea that a HC toon simply moves from the HC league to the SC league (so you can still play them), I'm not sure I can bring myself to play in SC lol....
So anyway, thought I'd try out a Witch AE fire/ice build, just working out if it's worth moving towards the Templar's AE passives as well.
Feel free to add me:

I'm surprised this hasn't gathered more interest on these forums, seems to me that this should tick most people boxes when it comes to ARPGs. Since I downloaded it, I've played nothing else. Can't recommend this enough, it's free so costs nothing but a bit of time for everyone to try out!!
I was impressed enough to go Regal, for nothing else but to support the continued development of this fine game.

This looks pretty good. Will have to check this out when I get home.
Is there HC mode?

I installed this Start8 by Stardock, works like a charm at a very respectable cost.

Yeh this is a fun little game, my brother and I play this co-op. We get a bit of lag when we're running around together killing stuff but other than that I'm plesently surprised at how much content is already in the game, considering its beta state.
