I hate special additions usually. But I'm hopeful they will move to the added game content model in the future rather than the usual crap they give you.

If I didn't already quit this crappy game for TOR I would have after seeing this announcement. So gd stupid.

edit: Oh I forgot! Pet battles now too! So you can play Pokemon while you wait for stupid dungeon queues!

edit2: Also forgot, they have a new sub model.. sub for one year and you get an in game mount, automatic access to the new xpac beta and D3 for "free." That all just reeks of desperation too. They know they're losing subs so they're trying to snatch as many people as they can before TOR / GW2 release.

I might check it out, just for the PvE stuff. As far as the Pokemon ****, yeah that is obviously stupid, but I think that subscription thing is a solid idea on Blizzard's part. Maybe a little desperate, but the game has been out for sooooooo long now so I think they can get away with it.

Hell yeah i did!

I also wish they would detail what is coming in the store.

vidae · 10-21-2011, 06:46 PM

Yeah, no one has any idea yet and it's irritating me too. :\

I think Chris Kluwe tweeted how I feel about it.....

I got a sneak peek at next year's WoW expansion. The new race is a shark and the new class lets you jump over things. #wehadasolidsixyears

Haha, awesome. Chris Kluwe rules.

Dragon Age II and Crysis 2 are 60% off on Origin today. $8 for DA2, promo code DRAGON60, and Crysis 2 for $16 promo code CRYSIS60. I'm glad I held off on buying both of those.

A Perfect Score · 10-25-2011, 05:00 PM

Been owning in LoL lately as Riven, just bought her and a new skin. Crazy damage output but super squishy early, especially because not a single person I know plays a tank regularly. It makes for some disappointing early game results, but if she gets fed, its game over. Ghostblade + her ult is just straight nasty.

nepg · 10-25-2011, 05:26 PM

Yeah, I've wanted to give Riven a go, but the 6300 IP is steep for me (totally would want to get her skins because they are bad ass).

I'm trying to find a tank that I'm comfortable with, so Rammus should get a full run from me. Not super interested in the free champs this week :(. Rammus and Irelia are the only two would fill roles I need in my stable of champs... But someone always autolocks Irelia before I get in there... I usually wait last to pick in anticipation of my teammates being idiots.

I'm not complaining about paying full price for DA2. No insterest in Crysis though.

Irelia is a bit of a tough character to play, she takes some getting used to. I saved up for Riven on purpose, I've loved the character when Ive used her for free and she suits my play style. Big damage, lots of evasiveness. I also have her Redeemed Skin, I refused to play her any other way haha.

nepg · 10-25-2011, 05:48 PM

Yeah, the Redeemed Skin is ******* boss. I don't think I'd pick her up and not get that skin. I still have yet to spend any real money on LoL, but am probably going to get Taric's Bloodstone skin pretty soon.

I play CS:S in spurts. Usually when it's freezing out, I spend a lot of time on CS:S.

Taric's an interesting choice. Why him? There are much better alternatives. I've got a few skins to go with my characters, but most were bought with IP. So far I have:

Warwick (Feral Skin)
Gangplank (Spooky Skin)
Riven (Redeemed Skin)
Kennen (Deadly Skin)
Vladimir (Marquis Skin)
Tristana (Riot Girl Skin)
Jarvan
Pantheon
Twisted Fate
Vayne
Annie

I almost never play Vayne, Jarvan or Tristana, but I'm pretty good with Riven, Warwick, Pantheon, Twisted Fate and Vladimir. Kennen too, sometimes. But he's ******* fragile as all hell.

(I had to, my tag is MercWithTheMouth and he has a Deadpool skin. What else was I going to do?)

JeffSamardzijaIRISH · 10-25-2011, 07:06 PM

How do you buy skins with IP? The only skins I have are the free ones(Unchained Alistar, Tristana)... =(

A Perfect Score · 10-25-2011, 07:14 PM

I meant the characters were bought with IP. Skins always cost RP, but I think all of those ones cost me a total of 20 bucks? Not too shabby, really. Some of them are really cool and since the game costs nothing, I don't mind justifying it that way.

Play TF2 instead. It's 10x the game Source is. By far the best game on that engine. It's also free to play now.

I heard mixed reactions about DA2 so I waited for a price drop. I've been meaning to buy it sooner. Good thing for my wallet I didn't.

I got hooked on Taric during his free week. I was looking for a good champ that has a place in pretty much every situation and scales well to higher levels of play (i.e. Ranked). He's a great support character who can be built tanky. My team usually wins when I play, especially if I'm on my ****. I've had 5-assist Aces and have been the sole reason for winning team fights we should have lost or helping a teammate get away.

Kennen's on the list of possibilities for me. His skins are all awesome.

Did you pick up the free Alistar skin? You have to subscribe to their YouTube channel. He's a solid champ and he's free!

I wanted Pantheon awhile back before I took a break from the game. I was waiting for a free week so I could test him out first.

My champs are:
Alistar (Unchained skin)
Ashe
Kayle
Shaco
Sion
Soraka
Taric
Tristana (Riot Girl)

I also rarely play Tristana... It's tough to decide how to build her. Most guides say AD, but it seems like she'd be more powerful if built AP.

I have like 13k IP and really should build a few generic rune pages (level 21 and have no runes!), but I want more champs!

There are just tanky characters like Tryndamere and Olaf who are much higher tier then Taric. Both deal out huge amounts of damage while being just as, if not more tanky then Taric. It's just an interesting choice, I don't know anyone else who plays a Taric consistently.

It seems like you're definitely a support kind of guy, which is good. Kayle is a character I love having on my team, same with Soraka. Alistar as well actually, he's so useful to have around.

bf3....soooo good.

49erNation85 · 10-28-2011, 12:40 AM

OK guys so I'm stuck in a boat here about wtheier or not I want to get a good gaming mouse or get a wired xbox controller for when MW3 comes out.I know that I am getting it for PC,however,I'm stuck on trying figure on what to get.So what would you guys do for MW3...Get a good razor gaming mouse or get a wired xbox 360 controller?The only iffy part is will the 360 controller be the exact same controls like on the console to pc or even be compatible with MW 3..

we are just week a way.Getting so excited .

vidae · 10-28-2011, 01:34 AM

I'd choose a mouse 100 times out of 100. I hate playing FPS games on consoles.

49erNation85 · 11-04-2011, 11:47 PM

Ok So I'm for sure getting a mouse for MW3 is gonna be a hard switch over but i think I will be able deal and handle it.

I just want know to how the set up will be like on the PC side of things for MW3.Also is it pay free like the PSN ? Also what other things should I look out for or is it all pretty simple?
