Thank you. Unless you're doing a troll-style maneuver in which case nutz 2 ya.

I'm a very sincere poster.

Also I've given this free game more money than I've ever spent on another game and I'll probably continue giving them money because they keep deserving it

You people are crazy with your expensive packs. I just bought the cheapest pack I could to get into the beta, because the key is the only part I care about. It is the summer now and I have some time, so I figured 'why not?'. Installing the beta now.

Haven't played in over a year, and don't remember all that much. Any suggestions for a good noob way to start?

Most of the people talking about the expensive packs are already like $500+ into this game and don't need the pack for beta access. We just love the game that much.

Edit: ^^^^ I'm downloading the steam client now because gently caress 1990 internet speeds

Like two minutes after I posted that, it shot up and it's now pretty much downloading as fast as my 30mbit connection will let it. 15% in now. Dunno what the first 25 minutes was all about.

Here's the new keystone, appears to be between shadow and ranger.


Phrasing makes it sound like you don't need to crit for the multiplier to apply to your DOT?

Hierophant changes (-7% per totem instead of -8%) bring the damage effectiveness of 3 totems from 233% to 241%, 4 totems from 286% to 299%. He also gets 6% increased damage per recent kill instead of 4% now. That's a really small buff!

I was thinking about it, but rereading your OP i couldn't come up with anything I would change aside from making the first post the bare minimum of what you need to know in order to get excited / started, and then the second post being more of the stuff you would come back later to re-read once you've gotten an experience of the game.

also, I was hoping to make a -foo joke in the thread title, but i failed out of comp sci so i couldn't do better than that.

Nah, the bonus only applies to DoT effects from Hits that Crit.

God this game is a confusing mess and I love it.

Seems like pretty much everyone will take Alira if they're crit or Oak if they're not crit, and Kraityn will be a fallback if you don't crit AND don't do phys damage. And even then choosing between Oak/Kraityn/Alira would still be an actual decision point.

I would guess the Kraitlyn reward will be most taken in SC, and Oak in HC. The Alira one is way more niche. That or Kraitlyn when leveling and swap to Alira later when you use skills to move more and stack crit more.

There's no way I'm going to spend 20 regrets to respec some extra goodies for leveling. Unless they drop the price down that's a huge waste.
