It is the placeholder for W7 skill 3, that hasn't released yet.

Responding to claims that some developers have been getting extortion emails from people threatening to use AI to release clones of their game first if they don’t pay a ransom, Giardino said it would look into such cases if reported, but stressed extortion was more of an issue for law enforcement agencies.

That is next-level depraved.

Lvl 135 Happy Doggy? Holy, time to swipe my card.

If you like Ys, I would actually recommend Astlibra Revision. It looks like a metroidvania, but its actually 2d Ys.

AI is able to make a clone of the core concept of your game just by consuming the trailer and screenshots. You don't even need a demo anymore to decompile. I have no idea what Valve is going to do about this, but there will be action if people stop trusting their platform to leaks and allow blatant clones before release.

Just an fyi. Lava has a ban system set up that automatically removes you from the normal population of players when you meet certain conditions that should be impossible. One of them is having a character level over 2000, which is funny because it is completely doable nowadays for end-gamers.

For a first bundle? Absolutely not. Auto-Loot, Sheep, or Ram (Mr. Pig = all 3) or like 10 other bundles are way more value. Just have to be patient.

Just from watching, I was expecting the boss moves to cast to the beat (or hard beats), but that wasn't really happening in most cases. Was it the difference between the tone of the music and the behavior of the boss instead?

The Prisma and Exalted boosts from Exotic are tiny, do not bother doubling them. They have a max cap normally at 2% (ie .02), which goes up to 4% doubled... Much better to do things like Plump Database that give all Farming + column 5 boosts.

Please do not rank them up... If you lack damage, upgrading them isn't going to fix anything. Just keep grinding other mechanics that give damage multi like Summoning, Hole -> Fountain, ect.

You go to the area, read different scrolls like normal, and they will show up on the Red Jellyfish UI. When you click the "Read" button, you will get free page reads based on how many are stacked into the UI. Reading the same page will just increase the number, it won't give you multiple procs of the same one.

All the pages you get into the Red Jellyfish DO NOT CONSUME anything from your stash after the initial read. They are immortalized into the Jellyfish forever.

In most cases, people would say alchemy. But the real issue is almost always the 3d printer. You can't upgrade things you can't afford... Work on skilling via skill efficiency and levels, craft the skilling equipment per characters specialty, and use them during skilling sessions/printing. Getting your 3d printer going ends up becoming a closed loop; more resources to buy alchemy + stamps --> more skilling power --> more 3d printer output.

The expansion is completely redesigning the endgame. I do believe Mike has said these missions will no longer be in the game, as well as the normal vs empowered dichotomy. We are getting corruption tiers in their place, which is much more like poe map tiers as far as we know.

Not true. The damage multi is based on the number of current hits. Meaning there is a tug and pull of # of alive amoeba and the current damage multi per # of hits. I personally wait until just a few of my units are dead before I go for the speed boost. Granted, I am still using the blue amoebas to level them up, so my critical time is much longer.

The 20$ and 30$ packs are by far the best. The new robe alone pushes the 20$ pack to S-tier as it is 3x drop rate true multi (current best robe is 1.5x drop rate multi). And it sounds like we might be getting a robe rack in the QoL update. So all characters will be getting them since you can only have 1 copy of each robe. The new pet is very good and probably going to be required to do the new tier of artifacts.

She is powering up! Very cool misprint.

Not even close... 1.3x kills is worth way more than the meager bonuses that come from 1x Opal ring. Sure you get some damage, but portal multiplier is huge.

Not true at all. VMan needs them for quicker pushing. W6 is a major drag when it comes to speedruns.

Good thing I trashed all my boss obols when farming up 6* cards... I have 65k fragments waiting.

The MG population has already left. Torchlight Infinite's new season came out yesterday so everybody is playing that. If you plan on playing for more than 2 weeks, CoF is just a better all-round game mode.

Been bugged since last season. Absolutely baffled why they can't fix something so simple. It is a negative sign EHG.

I am fine with buy back, but they need to be capped per hero. Say each hero can BB twice per game max (or maybe once per 30 mins). Then you will stop these dumb stalemate games where each team only clashes while they have BB available.

It looks like to progress to the finals you are going to be playing your own 2x constructed decks + RNG booster packs via Sealed. Not really any way to prepare for sealed rounds other than exploring LOTS of different strategies/combos. Many pro players will be eliminated from bad luck in the first round, but I guess they want to keep the tournament somewhat approachable for newbies.

Once you are in W7 and start pushing Gallery for AFK gain multi, then it is all AFK farming. Last month I got my 6* cards for drop rate + gallery, but it took a pretty long time along with the 6* cardifiers. The Mantaray + Ancient Fish are cards you definitely boost up from 3* with cardifiers. Still have to farm that 3* for Ancient Fish, but I don't think I have enough drop rate to do it outside of a 2-3 week grind with all 11 characters (normal drop rate is 10k - 15k)...
