@GnomeSlice What saddens me is that there would be people who buy that.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Funny story about Lara Croft's tits.

Apparently the legendary size was the result of a design mistake.

While tweaking the model, one of the designers accidentally increased the bust size by %150 or something silly like that, and the other developers liked it so much they made him leave it like that.

fbueckert

I think I heard about that. Wouldn't surprise me.

Q: What are goblin ilvl drops compared to average leveled mobs in that area?

I've noticed streamers repeatedly farming inferno goblins. At first I just thought it was because it was faster than doing butcher runs, but I'm wondering now if goblins in early act 1 would drop loot at the same item level or better than butcher. Also would goblins drop more recipes or gems?

Raven Dreamer

@FAE I did, however, beat the HR lady, who bowled a 27.

EBongo

1:28 AM

@MarkTrapp I do agree that the new question was fairly redundant. The only slight different was the new question asks "what are the solutions to all of the convo achievements", whereas I asked "what is the fastest way to complete all convo achievements". A small difference, but I chose not to gripe about it ... this time :)

FAE

@RavenDreamer On a mod-ly note, is there a reason that this answer hasn't been CW'd? There's no original content there at all, it's just links to other people's answers. @agent86 did merge it from the original question but it just seems like a bad precedent to set.

user2334

@EBongo Indeed. That's why I wanted to ping you: to me, saying "what's the fastest way to complete X meta chieve" is the same was saying "how do I complete meta chieve"; that is, the "fastest" part seems largely superfluous. If I'm right, it seems like your question could be slightly revised to demonstrate it is unequivocally the same as the newer question

OrigamiRobot

@RavenDreamer It's sad that I beat you with 79 :/

user2334

@EBongo Either way, I hate that new question due to the precedent it sets: people getting rep off of other people's questions

OrigamiRobot

On everyone's part.

FAE

1:34 AM

@MarkTrapp Well, it has been merged with the old

But the answer itself is still not CW

user2334

@FAE Ah that's a new development. I should read the backlog before writing stuff here

Yi Jiang

Hmmm, mods can merge answers now?

EBongo

@MarkTrapp Yeah... I don't know. I like the fastest part, at least for what I really care about. You can see an answer to my question already which is just "read a FAQ". What I was hoping for was just the stops you need to hit to speed run the achievement. That has more value to me, and I think the general community.

user2334

Ah, I gotcha

FAE

@MarkTrapp I just feel really... uncomfortable about someone gaining 60 rep off of linking other people's work, I guess.

EBongo

1:36 AM

...and don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan of the linking the other questions thing.

user2334

@FAE Me too. What I was suggesting earlier was for someone to create a new CW answer on EBongo's question, then dupe the new question to the old one and/or delete it. But now I guess we can't do that

EBongo

It is a hard question to answer (in terms of the concise, fastest way), one I halfway intend to answer myself - but I am lazy, and willing to award rep to someone who beats me to it.

Ktash

So, first day of E3, how'd we come out?

user2334

@EBongo Unless I'm mistaken, the fastest way is to complete the Act, know exactly when the conversations are triggered, and load the game at the specific points in time needed for the conversation… which collapses down to knowing when the conversations are triggered

user2334

@Ktash Curtesy of Reddit.

skovacs1

1:40 AM

@EBongo I am writing that up, by the way.

EBongo

@MarkTrapp Actually, I believe there are further nuances. For example one conversation with Leah can only occur immediately after a boss battle. It makes it impossible to load at that point. If you didn't get lucky and do it by chance, you have to kill that boss as part of the speed run.

user2334

true, but if you know where they are ahead of time...

GnomeSlice

How 'adult' are the intimate scenes in Mass Effect, anyway?

FAE

@GnomeSlice They're all on youtube, look them up

skovacs1

@MarkTrapp Exactly.

GnomeSlice

1:42 AM

@FAE Can't stream anything from here, you know that. Besides, I don't want to WATCH them, I'm just curious.

skovacs1

@MarkTrapp Which my Q&A's cover for each character

user2334

@EBongo I mean, the conversations are only tracked insofar as the achievements track them, and they don't track how fast you did them. Doing them as fast as possible is less of an issue than doing them as efficiently as possible, which is done by knowing where they are. Which is what our current questions provide

user2334

Speed running conversations just seems like a really esoteric and/or contrived goal: once you get the achievement, that's pretty much it

GnomeSlice

It's now been close to three hours of trying. I give up Twitter. You win. I guess I'm just not able to load a page enough to follow someone.

Fluttershy

@skovacs1 No. I just... I had a dream involving that exact conversation. It was weird.

user2334

1:45 AM

@GnomeSlice They're about as adult as the scenes from the Dragon Age series. PG-13, sappy music, fade to black, innuendos before and after

EBongo

@MarkTrapp Oh, of course. Yes, I don't mean a literal speed run - just the most efficient path possible. I hadn't read through all of the other convo questions to know if they were focused on efficiency. I can edit to emphasize "efficiency" over "speed".

skovacs1

@MarkTrapp I think that's what @EBongo is after though, the most efficient. In theory, the most efficient would be the fastest in this case.

Fluttershy

Twitter is even worse than Steam for 'not being designed for people with slow connections'.

It simply doesn't load at all in a browser here.

Yi Jiang

@GnomeSlice I don't think my connection is slow, but Twitter doesn't work half the time here either

skovacs1

@GnomeSlice Have you tried a different browser maybe?

Yi Jiang

I blame the stupid hashbang document fragment crap they've got running there, which incidentally also breaks the back button

user2334

1:49 AM

@EBongo I guess what I'm getting at is, take Kormac's conversations. If you followed skovacs1's answer, is that not the most efficient way? It tells you where they are so you don't miss the opportunity

skovacs1

@MarkTrapp Not quite.

Ktash

Watch dogs looks pretty sick

user2334

As far as I'm aware, there's no backtracking, mutually-exclusive choices, or anything like that like you might see in a BioWare game

skovacs1

@MarkTrapp I'm still testing this, but for the followers, aside from the few missables, you might be able to hold off until the last act and collect all the rest as they don't seem to go away until the end of the game. I'm running through some characters without collecting any convos to test this. That would be the most efficient way for the followers anyways

EBongo

@MarkTrapp For Kormac's it's pretty easy, because you just go past where the convo unlocks, and then do them all. This is the case for all of the followers, but not for most other NPCs. The most efficient way would be to overlay all NPCs and then only go to the stops you need.

skovacs1

1:53 AM

@MarkTrapp That would be a more efficient way if you were doing it as you play through a character because you wouldn't backtrack, but not the most efficient.

Ktash

Also, I think for the first time in my life I actually want to play a tomb raider game

EBongo

@MarkTrapp In cases where a convo is available for one NPC at multiple stops, it behooves you to visit a stop where other convos for other NPCs are also available. I note that Act II: Blood and Sand is a good stop for many NPCs. To hit them all at once.

user2334

Okay, I think I got it: you don't want them broken out by NPC like skovacs1 did, you want them broken out by event/quest/act

FAE

@MarkTrapp And it's CW now

EBongo

@MarkTrapp Yes

user2334

1:55 AM

Hm, I don't know how anyone can do that without essentially ripping off skovacs1's answers

skovacs1

@MarkTrapp I don't mind all that much, but I am working on that answer too. I've been given a lot of grief in my days and I just roll with it. When I'm dead, it won't matter anyways.

user2334

@skovacs1 oh okay cool… to the answer part. Not the grief/dead part.

Q: playing diablo3 and wow behind dd-wrt router

My roommates and I like to play diablo 3 and wow at the same time, but we experience frequent disconnects. If one of the machines is in the DMZ on the router it doesn't disconnect when the other two do. I've turned the router firewall off and this does nothing to help. Any ideas? Can I just f...

Q: Damage modifiers in DIablo 3 items?

I just realized items very similar to this-item-which-does-not-fit-my-wizard are up for sale on the AH for 10 to 20 million gold (and only 2 out there, filtering by 96 dex, 14 attack speed, and 9 minimum damage). This got me (desperately interested in seling it) wondering about the difference ...

Q: Does Life on Hit apply to damage dealt by Thorns?

There is a question about whether Life Steal applies to damage dealt by Thorns. I'm asking about whether Life on Hit applies to damage dealt by Thorns. These two are different: Life Steal is "X% of Damage Dealt is Converted to Life." Life on Hit is "Each Hit Adds X Life". This question How...

Is asking a question about the WiiU off topic?

Yi Jiang

@JohnoBoy Possibly. You'd be speculating about some as of yet unreleased console

JohnoBoy

@YiJiang I wanted to ask if the Wii U pad's touchscreen is capacitive or resistive. So until launch I have to hold off my Q?

Yi Jiang

Only until Nintendo actually say something about it. We'd rather not have questions that are impossible to answer

JohnoBoy

Just checked the Wikipedia article, states resistive, which is a bummer. No reference though

Q: Dragon Age: Origins Trophies in Awakening

Q: Hidden modifiers to various stats in Diablo 3

I've been reading around and found various topics on different hidden modifiers to stats/attributes in Diablo 3.

If anyone asks, I rejected 3 out of 9 of oers's suggested edits for 1: modifying the system comment to get around the trivial edit filter, 2: adding useless line breaks for the same reason, 3: correcting British spelling

user2334

He/she/it/undetermined is getting a little gung-ho due to the tag cleanup

Yi Jiang

@MarkTrapp The weird thing about the first edit is that he doesn't have to do that, IIRC

Tag and title edits don't require the body to be edited

user2334

I thought so: I was getting a little paranoid because two of his edits were just tag edits, so I wasn't sure if he was adding non-printable characters or HTML comments since you apparently can't see a markdown diff when reviewing suggested edits

user2334

this one and this one

Yi Jiang

7:17 AM

@MarkTrapp Yes you can. The second or third button on the left side

The second icon, the one with two blue documents icon, will give you source diff

user2334

Oh, I didn't see them for the two tag-only edits: which is because they were tag only edits.

user2334

Compare tag only suggestion vs full edit suggestion

user2334

Didn't realize the buttons don't show up if they're just retags. GDI SE's UI is annoying sometimes

So after all the drama, Sorean is going to walk away with 1100 extra rep for this answer

@RonanForman I am not sure how but my videos seem to be desynced... The times look right but they are not matching the data correctly, they seem off by 10min.. at this point in time I am not sure it even matters though so I am just going ahead as is. We just need to get these out and start up something a bit more recent.

@Blem yea. I guessed, that this is an issue, but I looked closer today, and you can see that texture of the chest ( that what makes it a female ) has some gaps, specially when it screams after you defeat the shadow.

Seems to me that there can be improvments made.

All in all the game is expensive and is used by the majority. Feels like they could put more effort in it.

Q: What happens when you teach the same plan twice to the blacksmith?

Should I check, every time I'm about to give a new plan to the blacksmith, that he doesn't know it yet ? Currently I'm not, hoping that, in this particular case, the game will give me an error like "The blacksmith already knows this plan" and will spare the item.

@skovacs1 oh noes! I was off by 7!

:(

clearly my silly quotation expressing dismay at yet another question on the subject was unwarranted :P

I retract any and all statements about having too much silliness around this topic and reinstate my joy at seeing new questions about it!

where's that fluttershy 'yay' movie when you need it :P

yaaaaaaay

@badp is this from a NG+?

I know it's a fast game to beat from NG+... this is kind of weird though

no idea what glitch they're exploiting here is though

seriously though, don't we have a bunch of questions that are essentially "when can I get this part of the achievement" that are kind of piecemeal, and then a bunch that are "when can I get all of part X" and then a couple that are "when can I get ALL THE TALKING CHEEVS"

mostly I'm complaining about the mess; not blaming any one person or trying to be dramatic about it.

just being silly.

@Wipqozn I saw this. I don't have time right this second to clean it up but I'll make a note.

@Wipqozn I have also observed this. it's my personal opinion (not reflecting the opinion of the moderation team and/or stack exchange) that that stuff should just go be a concise blog post or something. it's kept around for Historical Reasons or Somesuch.

Q: Does DPS change depending on the game mode you're playing?

I mean I'm a level 26 Hunter and I have only 126 DPS max at the moment. When I read in forums, lots of people talks about "I have like 25k DPS" .... 25 000 DPS what! Is it because I'm playing normal so the weapons are not as good as in Hell or Inferno ? or It's when I'll reach higher levels ...

@agent86 The 3 piecemeal ones were there first and they have a fairly narrow scope - I don't know if you want to do something about those. There are 10 conversation achievements so therefore 10 more canonical questions (1 for each) and 1 (Ebongo's) that asks for the fastest way to get all achievements which doesn't ask for specific conversations, but optimal points to collect the most conversations at once. FYI, there are 157 conversations that count to achievements.

agent86

@Kappei I'm not sure how long it is in your Earth-localized space time continuum.

@MichelAyres typically they won't let you do this, do you have amazon (the internet retailer) in the area you live in?

Rachel

12:42 PM

@Kappei Thanks Kappei :)

Has any of the prize winners received an email from SE yet?

agent86

@skovacs1 yeah... there's a lot of overlap, duplication, lesser included, attempts at organization, etc. does something need to be done about it? maybe? I don't know. I just know it will probably be my job to figure that out :P

@Rachel not to my knowledge (at least I haven't)

Kappei

@Rachel not yet, not me at least

Rachel

@agent86 Ok thanks :)

agent86

I imagine they're going to be taking a bit of time, considering they need to contact 144 people for shirts

Kappei

@agent86 I read that "to contact 144 people for shits"

skovacs1

12:48 PM

@agent86 Overlap and duplication would imply that one related to the other. Each conversation achievement can be completed wholly independently of one another and none of them duplicate information from one another. Ebongo's pseudo-blanket almost creates overlap, but it doesn't ask for specific conversations. The 3 dups and 3 lesser questions could go, but I believe the other 11 hold value.
