I only got around to downloading the patch (not playing) last night but the Loot 2.0 has me most excited. Im kinda "meh" on reallocating my 100 paragon levels but I know that's really important to a lot of other people.

Patch notes.

Avatar was the first 3D movie I saw that really "wow'ed" me with the effect.

That's brilliant. I wish it was in place while I was playing. Im sure its a low hurdle but still, useful.

Im inclined to agree with your first paragraph but disagree with your second. Imo, paying my taxes doesn't buy me the right to classified weapons system / intelligence gathering / etc... I feel those type programs must stay secret or basically lose all effectiveness. Thanks for the answer.

@ 213374U: Not to get dragged into the larger discussion, but to you, what criteria defines a person a whistleblower vs. traitor to their country? Do you feel that everyone has the right to know everything their government is doing?

That's a pretty large graveyard you have there.

How would "duration" be applied to non-AoE spells? For example; fireball, lightning bolt, magic missile, etc... these spells do their damage instantly. Pumping Might will boost their damage by percent but how would they benefit from pumping Intellect?

Isnt AoE only doing damage while the mooks are standing in the AoE radius? Whats the use of long duration AoE if the mooks just run through the radius? You may say to bottle them up with your front liners and then drop an AoE spell but that would just catch your own party in the AoE effect. Direct damage seems a lot more "viable" to me. Maybe AoE duration will be more useful if they have AoE sleep / charm / roots spells.

If you like replaying games then I posit that you develop a minimum of self control and do not take every quest from every source. Its people like you that led to dedicated rest spots, no healing or resurrection, unlimited inventory and ability cooldowns.

No, I paid an extra $7.00 for the strategy guide. And you're correct that Ill never see it all but that's fine with me. Ive never had an "evil" play through in any game Ive played so I never see those either. I more meant that I want the best possible outcome, with the best gear and highest attainable power levels, so I like to go through all the options to see whats available.

Now that's just... barbaric. Heh, I cant wait to get my hands on the totally non-degenerative PoE strategy guide. I shall print it out and read it while on the crapper.

Yeah.

I have never once replayed any crpg, not even my beloved BG 2 + expansion. I click through every conversation branch, lawnmower every map and scour the strategy guide to ensure I see it all in one play through.

^Me too. I save scum, rest spam, powergame, and reload if I don't like the outcome and everyone can suck it.

Who said she should be exempt? I was commenting on the severity of the sentence. Sure give her punishment of some sort, but 3 years jail? Severity? The article states that she could have gotten 20 years. The judge specifically gave her a lower sentence than the other two in recognition of her lack of a criminal record. She got off easy, imo.

Yes, she should be exempt from the laws of the land.
