Is 40-50 high enough? Because that's about where I'm at now. I probably will go back to the 2 hander once I find a better one either way though the damage is just nowhere near the same anymore.

No, for Bone Necro I didn't start dropping toughness for damage until 70+. Just gaining more levels and getting your paragon board filled out and glyphs leveled up will help a lot with feeling squishy

Are the chests that you can only open if you are flagged for PVP any good?

Yeah, farm them in WT2 on a level ~20 alt and there's literally nobody else there. Look up a map online and you can get 10k+ currency in a single lap without really ever getting off your horse. Not all of them spawn at the same time though, and I think the respawn timer is 5-10 minutes or so

I played through WT1 because gently caress trying more than once on some boss in the campaign? real game is end game in these games anyway. Good luck if want to challenge in the campaign and put it down after that. With minimal side questing and whatnot I think I was over 50 by the time I properly finished the campaign anyway

Early access, also known as alpha access, alpha founding, paid alpha, or game preview, is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can purchase and play a game in the various pre-release development cycles, such as pre-alpha, alpha, and/or beta, while the developer is able to use those funds to continue further development on the game. Those that pay to participate typically help to debug the game, provide feedback and suggestions, may have access to special materials in the game. The early-access approach is a common way to obtain funding for indie games, and may also be used along with other funding mechanisms, including crowdfunding.

If it's unable to find your license, would verifying the files in the Blizzard Launcher or however it is on PC work, maybe? Or reinstalling?

Man, I’m sick of hunting for gear in t3, and I can clear nmd up to level 20’s without much of a struggle at all, but Elias in the capstone seems to be too much. Probably because as a shadow necro I can face tank most everything, but with him I have into engage in the bullethell and get rapidly wiped if I’m off. I’ll have to try again without a baby sleeping on me. Just want to make sure there is no way to cheese him.

no idea why people suddenly think this it was never true on pc, and even console regularly had patch revision carts. or the games were just broken forever. brood war had a unit that was completely non-functional for 20 years until the remaster fixced the sprite limits lol

misandry is real
I switched from a 750~ 2h sword to a 760~ 1h/shield on my HC bone Necro and didn't notice my damage going down very much/at all. The shield had some nice -resource cost and it's made the build way smoother. Hit bone splinter every 6 seconds to activate might on my shield and then just let the bones fly forever.

I’m also only at 63, but maybe having zero issues with any mobs or dungeon bosses is making me a bit overconfident. I’m not thrilled with my current gear, but I also don’t want to invest any resources into any of it knowing that I could be farming t4 if I can nail this fight.

even console games got patches, usually when they got ported to a new region, but sometimes there were issues that just needed fixing. the difference was no one knew and they didnt announce it because they didnt want returns. kirby 64 in japan has like four revisions based on when the cart was produced and if you got a launch game your game was just unpatched forever. wwf no mercy has a common bug on the launch carts which deletes saves lol


valks. they didnt fire right bcos of the sprite limit for projectiles

Well what's attached to a leash that it made itself?
The punchline is the way that you've been fuckin' yourself




I have a rare version of turok: rage wars for N64 because in the original you literally couldn't beat the game due to a bug. Only a few true nerds sent in their busted copies for the revised one that is now somewhat rare and expensive. I was pissed we couldn't complete the co-op so I sent that poo poo back lol.

But yeah it's still way worse nowadays because you can fall back on patching games rather than having to pay a fuckload of money to make new physical copies.

E: I also have an early copy of no mercy but mine is fine. Didn't know this was a thing until recently because mine always just worked.

I had to ask for help in my goon clan. A sorcerer melted him in about a minute, and I tried far too many times solo as a Barb. Season 1 will definitely be a ranged class.

Myth 2 would uninstall the entire directory it was installed in if it was not in the default file path and you used the uninstaller. I think they had to pull all of the shipped versions before release date and replace them with a patched version, so the game made almost no money.
