    Diablo III Discussion

    The game starts becoming "hard" once you get to the end of nightmare or hell. It's unfair to comment on a game's difficulty at level 12 lol. The game is extremely gear dependent so the difficulty depends a lot on the correctness of the gear you buy from the AH or get from drops. Most of...

    Buy it online from the Blizzard website; they give you a key and you have the game for $60. You can also get the game key from a 3rd party like offgamer and put that into the digital download form on the official site too. It's frankly puzzling that people want physical copies in India, let...

    Remember that many of the people saying it's boring have dumped 50-60 hours into the game already, so I would take such advice with a pinch of salt. The gameplay is very similar to Diablo 2.

    295-340 ms for the last 6-7 hours on Airtel [I started with BSNL but it was awful today so switched back to airtel]. Got to lvl 51 on my wizard just beat nightmare started hell; some of the champion packs are really boring now though and take forever to die :( On some days it goes up to 500ms...

    yeah it's basically like playing an mmorpg; pretty lame really if you have a shitty indian internet connection. no matter how much money you spend on internet in india, packet loss to servers outside india are inevitable because routing seems to be universally garbage.

    I'm getting around 295-340ms to US servers on Airtel broadband (random shitty plan Rs 600 /month or so). On BSNL broadband I usually get 400-800ms - but with BSNL there's heavy packet loss and horribly fluctuating latencies unless you're playing in the 2-8am period (which is kinda dumb)...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning discussion

    By difficulty balancing I mean tuning of abilities, player health, enemy health and their defenses and the overall difficulty of the game. In turn this makes a game less casual, more hardcore, and most importantly comfortably challenging but not frustrating. Games like SC2, D3, Rayman...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning discussion

    Didn't really like this game to be honest :( It started out development as a middle-grade mmorpg and they switched gears to a single player RPG. Although the game does bring interesting combat mechanics : 1) It lacks the polish of most AAA games 2) It lacks the difficulty balancing...

    what kind of latencies are you guys getting on US/Asia/EU ?

    Torrent Ban affecting latencies?

    Haven't noticed any ping changes after the ban on tpb. A number of torrent sites are blocked on Airtel. BSNL hasn't blocked anything so far. Routing is essentially still awful. And latencies to US are better than EU/Asia some days lol ....

    What's the best server to play Diablo 3 from India ? (NA/Asia/EU) Do you guys use some kind of tunneling service to connect to them ? Another question, what kind of ISP would be best for D3 online ? BSNL tends to have huge packet lot issues (constant death in nightmare+ and even later on in...

    Got an ipad 3, very disappointed - it's just not that great for an Indian context

    The Asus Transformer Prime is an absolutely amazing device, I hope the prices come down a bit though. If they did I would buy it in a heartbeat. Not only does it look gorgeous, the detachable keyboard concept would really appeal to people like me that are at home with tactile and fast typing.

    Got an ipad 3, very disappointed - it's just not that great for an Indian context

    Because they are very different markets. It's delusional to actually believe the media hype that India and the U.S. consumers are similar in what they want, what they want to spend on and what kind of devices they would be looking for. ipads are designed with a 1st world country consumer in...

    Got an ipad 3, very disappointed - it's just not that great for an Indian context

    Opera mini looks like utter sh*t on the ipad. It's nowhere on the most used browsers lists for a reason. Opera mini is designed with the form factor of a typical smartphone in mind not tablets like the ipad.

    Got an ipad 3, very disappointed - it's just not that great for an Indian context

    It's not really a fear of legal action. Rarely (almost never) do you get any trouble with the law for downloading pirated content; it's usually people that upload gigantic amounts of data or host on public trackers. There are tons of peer blocking tools and other ways to prevent any kind of...

    Got an ipad 3, very disappointed - it's just not that great for an Indian context

    It's not about me buying the ipad 3. I got it for reasons other than my own personal liking. I was generally talking about the ipad and tablets in general and how relevant they are in the Indian market.

    Got an ipad 3, very disappointed - it's just not that great for an Indian context

    This is basically what I'm trying to say. It just seems to make a lot more sense to get a better laptop, or a mini-latpop or a netbook. Perhaps even a galaxy note or a similar device. Something like the transformer prime might be a good idea but prices are ridiculous right now. Apple hasn't...

    Got an ipad 3, very disappointed - it's just not that great for an Indian context

    It's alright I suppose. For me personally, the lack of a good file explorer was crippling. A good example I talked about is deleting entire folders, and seeing exactly how much space your photos are occupying. Oh I can definitely see that tablets would be appealing to some people; but there are...

    Got an ipad 3, very disappointed - it's just not that great for an Indian context

    I'm not sure why any kind of criticism towards tablets is met with the assumption of trolling or "but you should have got a laptop". It's not about me, so why I personally got an ipad is completely irrelevant. I'm basically saying that a netbook or small laptop makes a lot more sense than a...
