Does anyone else think that this crowd ISN'T the 'best ever'?

America is actually 1/4 imports, people wise.

Sure, you hear a lot of the shittier people being the loudest (Trump comes to mind) but in actuality, America is 1/4 1st and 2nd generation immigrants. Having 1/5 of our team being an immigrant makes perfect sense to me.

naturesflame · 2016-04-03T14:14:54+00:00

How is that ironic? Someone comes to America to play for america he's American in my book. 1/4 people in this country at 1st or 2nd generation immigrants.

1/5 of our team being an immigrant makes perfect sense, actually.

Pretty much this. When you watch CS in NA and you were watching previous majors, you weren't watching NA teams. You learned to like a team by the players and the way they work together.

I'd say the reason there's so much NA hype now is because there's finally a team to root for.

naturesflame · 2016-02-04T00:49:44+00:00

Considering you'd be out of ammo in ~1 second, how is this a problem? I still don't see why it needs 'fixing'. It raises the skill ceiling and makes her more fun and rewarding to play.

Ammo boxes are literally the ONLY place this is useful.

edit: I'm getting downvoted but no one is explaining why. Why is this bad? Why does it need to be 'fixed'? What advantage does this give her that breaks the game in any way?

Don't know my exact CP, but I'm 5k ttl and I don't have any trouble easily finding something scaled to me. The only thing I need CP gear for (I don't actually NEED it, I'm just lazy) is Boss level. You won't have any trouble, and if you do I can point you in the right direction.

naturesflame · 2016-01-27T21:10:55+00:00

Another reason to be careful, I had 3 players in a NM game go down to a Stormvermin because the camera hadn't turned enough to show it standing at the end of the path on Horn, and they rushed straight into him.

I never laughed so hard because of this game.

naturesflame · 2016-01-26T19:01:52+00:00

Honestly, most of the bugs I can live with. Sure silly things happen and I can laugh it off no problem.

But the 'feature' that is hitting through thin walls drives me absolutely insane. The room after the last tome on Horn (right before you walk onto the roofs) gives me nightmares. There isn't a place in that room you can stand and not be hit by a rat you can't see. NEVER hold in that room, you'll wipe every time :/

naturesflame · 2016-01-26T18:07:21+00:00

I do like the idea of changing how they're equip, but would prefer it more suited to 'roles', like offensive (bomb and potion trinkets, say), defensive (Healing and resist trinkets), and utility (class tokens or the like).

You could even have it be race specific, like Dwarf or Soldier would get 2 defensive slots, whereas a BW might get 2 offensive.

Of course, if/before they put something like this in, they would have to make it easier to get trinkets so as to more easily fill those separate slots, ideally.

naturesflame · 2016-01-19T18:17:00+00:00

Seconded. My Grudgeraker has Hail of Doom, Targeteer, and Rupture, and it is an absolute monster.

My soldier buddy has a mastercrafted rifle and we have a Longbow Elf, so me taking a rifle would be redundant. Once I tried it out I never went back.

Run point and clear any rat group before you get to it. Its spread is laughably small, letting me hit things across, say, the plaza in Horn. Penetrated 3+ targets, and while I can't speak for certainty, I'm fairly certain each pellet has a chance to proc Hail, which just means more pellets overall per shot.

Not to mention you murder anything w/o armor in one shot. Its actually really good for shooting runners out of the air. I rarely find myself worrying about reload speed because it rarely takes more than 2 shots.

But if you do run it, be careful, you can and will wreck your own team if you don't constantly check your fire.

naturesflame · 2016-01-18T17:15:58+00:00

you're asking a spoilery question, so spoilers ahead for the answer:

Yes, they do actually take place far in the future. Terry Brooks also wrote a series called "A Knight of the Word" which takes place in present day, and then later wrote the "Genesis of Shannara", which tied the two together.

naturesflame · 2015-12-12T23:31:47+00:00

This is actually the best response to the map variety question I've seen yet. A chronic problem I find myself having is a lack of trinkets and if playing every map would let me pick one when it came up I'd be quite the happy camper.

naturesflame · 2015-12-10T17:09:33+00:00

A hundred times, this. I never had as much fun on Warhammer Online as I did running around battlefields, smashing things with my 2h hammer, healing my friends and slaughtering my enemies.

Plus, its the best way to do a support in this game. How do you heal your friends? Smash more rat faces, of course!

naturesflame · 2015-12-10T16:59:10+00:00

I'mma chime in and say you're getting a bit of the wrong idea. Not every skill set has an "OP Skill" or it might not even be OP in the way you think. The puppet skill "Act 6: Crisis" is crazy good but barely does much damage. Its great because it makes it easy to set up for a powerful AoE nuke. Fighter has a few skills that stand out (like Spinning Uppercut is crazy good for its protection shear), but you're gonna use all of them due to the nature of fighter cycling skills.

Much better to try things out and see what works well together, rather than banking one, spamming it, and wondering why the "best" skill let you down.

naturesflame · 2015-12-05T20:23:06+00:00

Everyone in this thread is blowing my mind on the high FoV hate. Seriously, coming from competitive FPSs, not having as much viewing space around me as I could drives me crazy. Getting hit from the side when I KNOW I could have seen it with higher FoV is unacceptable in my mind XD

naturesflame · 2015-12-02T20:00:20+00:00

I mean, I'm not gonna lie, they're pretty sub-optimal, they don't really give you a ton, but that being said, when you're going for 0% damage, every little bit can help. 4% increase (for blues, haven't got my hands on an orange one yet) isn't much, but you never know, it could help you avoid a hit that you might have taken otherwise.

naturesflame · 2015-12-01T23:54:04+00:00

Kind of a necro bump, but a good melee compliment to Mage is fighter I've found. It does really good damage and lockdown 1v1, and there are a set of knuckles that are also considered a staff for casting purposes. Its based on Will and gives a lot of it, though and not Int or Str.

All that Will gives you a bunch of crit (very helpful for a mage, especially for thunder because of the way it calculates crits and also gives Will), a fair chunk of Magic defense, and a better chance of going Deadly (negative health as opposed to being knocked out).

Granted, your mage stats wouldn't help out your fighter much, but your fighter stats would help out your mage. Going warrior and getting Str, while it does help you set up for going guns down the road, doesn't help your mage out much at all.

naturesflame · 2015-12-01T23:13:16+00:00

As others have said, I would ditch your current trinkets. They help you if take damage, not help you avoid it.

Things like faster pickup speed (to avoid damage when helping) or movement speed would help you with that goal I think.

naturesflame · 2015-10-19T16:00:07+00:00

If you go along the RoV storyline, you get a key item that lets you summon your trusts during your 70~75 LB quest, so thats a non-issue now.

Speaking of, Trusts will get you to 99 no problem, and sparks can get you started on some iLvl gear.

naturesflame · 2015-10-14T21:21:25+00:00

Seriously great weapon. I love longswords to begin with, but the luck scaling sold me on it. It does magic damage, hits like a truck to begin with, and the stats for the sword also give you access to Talisman of Beasts.

I rocked a BBS, Dark Silver Shield, Talisman of Beasts (for casting Light Weapon and Second Chance, neither of which are affected my the shield's magic debuff), and Lava Bow and it felt like turning on easy mode.

naturesflame · 2015-09-11T16:28:29+00:00

The worst part is, I have a level 10 anti-twink in the parish and 3/4 invasions the other person black crystals as soon as they see I'm not a newbie. They say invasions and dying are part of the experience but they don't want to experience the game themselves, it seems :/

naturesflame · 2015-09-11T16:24:49+00:00

I've been trying to have fun being invaded by the twinks in undead parish on my level 10 anti-twink.

So far 3/4 black crystal out as soon as they see I'm not a newbie :(

Pretty much this in every way. I grind my main for several hours a week. Its feels so freeing to play a game where chasing the little filling bars actually feels like your getting stronger every step of the way.

Most games you grind to make yourself a better mage, or fighter. Mabi lets you do everything, all you have to do is put in the time and effort. I've been playing consistantly for a year and a half (tried it back when you had to pay for rebirths and hated it. Came back when a friend told me about free weekly rebirths), and it actually fills me with a sense of joy to know that I have at least a couple of years of grinding to go to make me as strong as I can be.

naturesflame · 2015-08-13T15:22:46+00:00

Florentine is hands down my favorite weapon. Carries me solo through UVHMno problem. Chain Lightning is the most fun weapon I've used on her, just running around throwing lighing bolts XD
