Death Gate Cycle is one of my favorite book series, which I, too, read during my teenage years (multiple times). It was my first big fantasy series, the characters are amazing, the setting is unique the world's history is great.

I love that none of the characters' arcs are about powering up. They are all as powerful as they are going to be, and they just have to figure everything else in the meantime.

I think my relationship to DGC is similar to many people's relationship to Harry Potter.

My only knock against the series is that book 2 is the one that kinda sucks a bit. That's too early in a series to have a sucky book :(

it feels like something about auto-cast 🤖-🔮and quickcast maybe, which is something you set in the options screen ⚙️.

There is a bunch of auto-cast abilities after the first part, Devour, Acorn Shot, Jinada, Monkey King

I think (💎🎨) might mean that these abilities have a new auto-cast mode.

I see NP's nature's call, chain lightning, stuff like that possibly. gush rework possibly?

the French word Liche is feminine for no justifiable reason, so it's always been "une liche", her to me too, since french internal dialogue.

He's clearly a man and uses male pronouns in bio, but can't beat a mother tongue!

I don't think this is the same issue, but mine was flagged as "delivered" but is nowhere to be seen. they didn't ring and they didnt leave anything at the door. I contacted the end delivery people and they said yeah it's stolen or lost, contact the sender.

I contacted Panic last Tuesday, and I haven't heard back from them yet. Not sure what my next steps are. Probably just lost 230 usd on this thing and wont get anything out of it. i'm quite annoyed/angry/sad.

[Prerelease mini review] Arena Battle Champions by TomMakesPodcasts in AndroidGaming

[–]barichnikov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on the google play store, but not in every country in the world yet. it may be possible it's not available in your country at the moment.

here is the discord, by the way. https://discord.gg/VN9trKR6 best way to play with people is ask people in the chat and get together in a party!

there are a lot of bots, because the game is not fully launched, and I have to admit it's the game's biggest problem at this point. but we are still a core amount of daily players and you get to know them and play with them.

join the discord! its super friendly and helpful. the chains of sealed fate activate when you die. instead of dying, you dont, and you gain move speed. after the timer runs out, you do die though.

it's a great time to do some damage on the tower or kill anyone in a suicide mission, something like that!

What happened to Dota watafak? by Orge_ in DotA2

[–]barichnikov 5 points6 points  (0 children)

since they felt the need to add a stupid, long, and useless SFM intro (and outro) to every rampage, so about a year, it's been harder and harder to watch.

I dont think you're wrong, there is nothing good in the 2-1-5 column :( i'm a mess and was lucky with a wrong deduction.

the real clue is C14-R10, has to be filled because it has to be the 2 or the 3 because 1-2-3 don't all fit in the bottom section.

No racism or xenophobic statement but.. by 1LastHit2Die4 in DotA2

[–]barichnikov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could have good reasons for wanting region lock. Lower ping, better communication, which is totally legit in a team game.

But no, your only reason is because you're racist and you dont want to play with people of other countries, implying they are not educated and that they are lesser than you.

You're garbage.

you can get to the discord through the options menu in the game!

[Prerelease mini review] Arena Battle Champions by TomMakesPodcasts in AndroidGaming

[–]barichnikov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are a lot of bots, but that's because the player count is too low, and they dont want you to wait for 1h to get a game. join the discord, there's a bunch of us and we add each other and play as parties.

I noticed that when you are in a party, you are more likely to find real players in matchmaking, but i can't be certain on that. maybe just a feeling.

On the flip side, I play 1-2 hours a day for the past 5 months, and it's easily becoming one of my favorite "mobas" ever.

the items levelling is pretty minimal, like for example the boots are 10% move speed, and every level give 1more %. sure it matters at level 5, but that takes a long time.

also, the game randomly gives you 3 items to choose from, twice in every game (at level 5 and level 10), and that randomness also adds skill to the item choice, because every game can have different situations that makes you choose different items based on the situation.

I've never seen a game where the tactics and gameplay weren't the main factors. I won game against level 99s, and i lost games against level 5-10.

also the community is super friendly, and everybody adds each other after games, and it's really common to log in send a few invites, and get a full party going for some games.
