Q: Weapon Speed and AIS

DavidFor any weapon, there is a "attack speed" stat usually from 1 to 1.5 Then you can get a stat for increased speed (eg 5%) Does this 5% get included in the attackspeed or does this 5% affect the APS in your detailed stats page? Thank you in advance

Q: What is the best way to mine through lava?

RenanI keep a bucket of water with me to put out the fire and turning lava into obsidian stone. The process is slow and usually unutilizes the water, forcing a trip back to the ground level once in a while. Is there a more efficient way to do it other than placing water right next to the lava block?

 
it's so quiet around here at this time of night (real life location not here)
 
@pixel Trying to finish up my day at work so I can go home and play either some minecraft on my server with everyone or some more TSW :)
 
At a guess more than half of the people in here are in an American timezone? :p
 
@James I'm just getting ready to go to dance class.
 
@fbueckert tell us more
 
12:05 AM
@QAzer What more is there to say? I go out, dance, and come home.
 
@fbueckert what kind of dance?
 
@QAzer Tonight is salsa.
 
@fbueckert smexsy. have fun~
 
We have a beginner class every Wednesday at 8; I've been helping out with it for close to two years now.
 
There I was about to rage at the game being totally unfair and spawning 20 enemies on me
Turns out it was part of the quest that I was MEANT to die...
 
12:10 AM
@fbueckert oh so it's like an intro to different types of dance?
 
@QAzer Nope, it's an intro to salsa; if we have newbies, we start at the beginning every week.
 
@pixel o.O
 
@James there is quite a lot of 'suicide is the answer' in this game
Like when you're dead there are passages in the rocks that just don't exist while you're alive
 
@pixel I have so far not run into that.. I have run into the 'Oh Crap Im going to ... ' XXXX Time to respawn. hehe
 
@James you're still on the first zone ye?
or at least the first area
 
12:12 AM
@pixel yeah
 
best example, if you die and go over the bridge at the top of the first zone
when you're dead there are people hanging from the rafters of the bridge
when you're alive, there aren't
 
@fbueckert sounds pretty cool. how big are the classes usually?
 
@QAzer They tend to vary quite a bit; we'll get anywhere from six people, to upwards of 30 or 40.
 
@pixel Haha, Niice :)
 
Summers tend to be pretty dead, though.
 
12:20 AM
@fbueckert really I'd think that the most time ppl could find time to do this
 
Ooh, doing salsa lessons?

Q: What to do if certain guides are missing online that I link to?

ayckosterSo I posted this answer where I suggest this cool Ibuki guide I read once. The OP tried to download it and it does not work anymore. I do have the guide on my computer though and it is free. What should I do? Here are some things I have thought of: Remove the reference entirely. Leave the re...

Q: Is there any way to set a ship's weapons to auto-fire?

IsziPerhaps this is just because I'm new to the game and haven't yet learned any proper strategy, or it might be because I'm low-level enough that I haven't gotten to the point of needing to worry about power management, but my general strategy in space combat is pretty much this: Fire whatever is f...

 
12:47 AM
Is star trek online any good?
Am I able to flag an edit I'm proposing for review in any way?
 
@pixel People who are allowed to approve edits are automatically notified on every page that there are outstanding edits.
Is there something more you want?
 
"changed a few things" is a pretty good edit note. Very descriptive!
 
@Sterno I assume that's the one I just rejected.
 
@StrixVaria I don't need edits to be approved though
 
New game on suggestion: BZ Flag
 
12:53 AM
@StrixVaria If it was about Kingdom Hearts, then yes
 
however in this instance I would like somebody to review it if you know what I mean?
 
@Sterno I couldn't tell whether he was fixing an error or completely altering the question, but he was the same person who answered it with something completely worthless a few days ago, so I didn't give him the benefit of the doubt.
 
It's completely reworking badly typed text and in my mind it says the same it did before but I would like that confirming as to avoid upsetting people
oh @StrixVaria TSW assembly guide: docs.google.com/document/d/…
 
@pixel I saw that before. I don't have kits for anything I want to craft, though, so I can't really craft anything yet.
 
no me either, well I have the kits but not the materials
 
12:57 AM
I would need a Talisman level 3 kit or weapon level 4 kit or any Glyph kit at all.
 
-.-
I vendored all my stuff that is lower than QL10

A: WoW: if I install WotLK, will the updater automatically download Cataclysm and patch for me?

pixelThe World of Warcraft launcher will always patch the game up to the latest version and download any expansion content that your account is eligible for. It is very much dependant on the 'product level' of your WoW account. A lot of Cataclysm content was actually changes to 'classic'/'vanilla' WoW...

can somebody check my edit on that
wrong link, it's actually the question I edited
 
How do you quote posts in chat?
 
@Alok Just link to the post.

Q: I've been farming Inferno Act 1, but slowly. What is the most efficient Act 1 run?

Cloudie Possible Duplicate: Inferno Act 1 Gold Farming, Skeleton King vs. Butcher The title says it all. I've been farming the Butcher, but I know that there's gotta be a more efficient farming route in Act 1. Anybody have any good spots?

Ehh strange I thought I'd tried it and got a plain link - thanks :). Anyway, re. that question: how is it a duplicate? I can't see 'most efficient' run vs a specific comparison of 2 boss runs as the same

Q: Can the stinger hit ground targets that are soflam?

SbossbSince the javelin can hit air targets when they are soflam, can the stringer hit ground targets that are soflam? And if so do you need line of sight to lock onto the ground vehicle?

Q: Is there a limit to how long I can hold items in my mailbox?

FAEI know that I can only hold a maximum of 8 items in my mailbox in Pocket Frogs. Right now, I'm using it as kind of a pseudo-storage while I make more money to be able to afford to buy more habitats. The ingame Help section doesn't mention anything about there being a limit to how long you can kee...

Q: Where is Polaris?

StrixVariaThe General and Looking for Group chat is spammed constantly with people looking for teammates to do a dungeon called "Polaris". From their messages, it seems that QL3 is about an appropriate time to start running that dungeon. I'm approaching QL3, so I would like to know where to look if I deci...

Q: How can I solo the quest Redemption?

C. RossI just made a character in Dungeons and Dragons Online. I'm currently playing through the first few quests outside of town, and I am currently stuck on "Redemption". I solo'd several equivalent encounters with ease, but I have repeatedly failed at this one when How can I complete this quest ...

Q: How do I use given gifts?

KareenI've recently started Awakenings on Xbox360 and got Ser Pounce-a-lot. Its description says "Use: This item has a unique power", but I can't figure out how to use it. It's in the Useable Items section of my inventory, but it lacks a "Use" option. Am I supposed to get to it from somewhere else or i...

 
1:06 AM
As in, agent86's answer is post-1.0.3 etc. but how would someone know that based on the question. Also, @Lazers stop spamming :p
 
ok TSW pvp is INSANELY fun once you're geared and leveled
read: survive more than two hits
 
user15026
@Lazers It is driving me nuts that I can't answer this.
 
Oh god this new Frank Ocean album is SO FUCKING GOOD.
 
@StrixVaria we probably need a question for each instance tbh :P
 
@pixel If they're not asked by the time I get there, I'll ask them.
 
1:19 AM
I have absolutely no idea where anything beyond solomon island is
and I'm pretty sure there are a couple I'm missing from there too

A: How do you jump in Neverball?

GnomeSlicEIf this is anything like other ball-rolling games, here's what they probably mean: Get some speed up towards an edge and just before you fall off, tilt the world the opposite direction sharply. That will raise the (previously lowered) edge you were travelling towards, and throw you into the air...

Is this really worthy of a downvote?
 
@StrixVaria @LessPopMoreFizz I've updated the answer with a picture
 
user15026
I suspect it might have gotten it because since you havent played this specific one, people might think it is a bad answer or something.
 
Ohhhhhhhh it's kind of north middle, not by the airport.
 
top middle, on the only road
 
1:27 AM
 
Inferno is just along the road as you enter Savage Coast, and that's as much as I know in terms of instance locations
 
I actually found inferno already.
But since I just got to Savage Coast, I think I'll hold off on that one for a bit.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah, Inferno is QL5
 
And I guess a group is required for Polaris, yes?
 
@StrixVaria It's a 5 man.
You could go in there solo.
You would die. Very quickly.
We can probably get a G.SE group to run it and Inferno later or tomorrow or this weekend.
 
1:30 AM
People always say "Looking for DPS/Healer/Tank", but I have no clue what role I would fill.
 
Once I finish my current deck, I'm planning to transition my skill setup to something more explicitly tanky.
@StrixVaria If you don't know, you're DPS.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's fair.
 
Tanks and Healers should be gearing and prepping their spec specifically for the role. (Moreso the former. You can do Polaris with two people kinda half-time healing using basic skills or leaches if you have a good tank.)
 
I don't have or know of any abilities that could heal me.
Or anyone else.
 
@StrixVaria Depends on your weapons.
Assault Rifles, Blood, and Fist weapons all offer healing.
 
1:32 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I solo'd everything except the last boss earlier (Q8 gear at the time)
 
Blades, Hammers, and Chaos Magic have abilities that allow you to tank effectively.
 
It is a Q3 instance though
 
@pixel Q8 gear is why.
 
I'm using Chaos/Shotgun.
 
i know i know
 
1:32 AM
@StrixVaria Pistols, Shotguns, and Elemental magic are 'support' which means they offer buffs/debuffs.
@StrixVaria Yeah, you're probably built for DPS then.
 
I am using assault rifles and still haven't a clue what my role is
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I like this idea.
 
Chaos magic has tanking tools (all the stuff that talks about generating extra threat/hate), but unless you spend a few points on some explicit tank tools like a taunt and 300% threat passive, you can't do the job.
@pixel Assault Rifles are DPS/Heals.
@pixel And specifically heals via life leech effects.
 
The healing output doesn't feel enough to keep somebody who isn't me alive though
 
@pixel Well not unless you specifically put points into the healing spells.
@pixel If you look at the outer ring trees.
 
1:34 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am using Escalation, which generates extra hate. I mostly keep it though because almost every passive I have requires foes to be weakened to be effective, and it's a good reliable way to weaken them.
 
You'll see some of them have only 'green' active abilities.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz let me take you a picture
 
Those are pure healing effects.

Q: during game progress geralt keeps resetting back to default clothes and armour

redwind33556As i progress through the game and start upgrading geralts armour and weaponry. I make a save . But when the game loads to the next phase or chapter all my weapon and armour is lost and it defaults back to geralts original uniform and weapon. What's going on. Anyone know.?

Q: How much +xp is worth keeping

MikeI have read the following questions What Is The Formula For Additional Experience On Items What Determines How Much Experience You Get From A Kill I understand that you get a bonus/penalty depending on the level of monster you are fighting. My question is if my character has +52xp/kill, what ...

 
@StrixVaria Yeah, lots of chaos abilities generate extra hate. But there's a passive that makes everything you do generate triple hate. Which is essential to effectively tanking.
 
1:36 AM
 
@StrixVaria The main thing to know about Escalation if you're not tanking is to be careful about using it in a group setting because it can cause you to pull things off a tank who is bad or sloppy or careless or less well geared than you or just busy doing something else.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have a higher DPS ability I could switch to if I wanted to avoid pulling aggro.
 
@pixel wait are you only using one weapon...?
 
no I have a QL7 blood thingy
 
@pixel But are you using Blood abilities?
 
1:38 AM
in fact yes I'm only using one weapon
the book is just there for stats
having zero problems in solo play
but haven't really looked at how its meant to work in group play
 
@pixel Ummm. 1) Stats on weapons only affect the abilities that use those weapons.
 
I was originally running around spamming blood shields and blood aegis but found it less effective than just nuking stuff
 
2) If you're not using at least one Blood Consumer ability, you're severely gimping you're output, because you're generating blood resources when you use your builders, but not spending them.
@pixel Yeah, most builds use one weapon for builder, and then consumers for both weapons.
 
and hmm really @ (1)
 
So you go 5 builders->consumer 1 -> consumer 2
 
1:41 AM
I thought they were stat sticks like every other MMO
 
@pixel Noooo.
@pixel You absolutely want to be using two weapons.
The way the system is built, you want two weapons that synergize/interact with each other.
 
hang on i need to test that, I'm 99% sure i'm not generating any blood resources
 
@pixel Blood Resources don't stack on the target, they stack on you
Look at your own unit frame.
 
yeah I know
and no my primary/secondary attack don't build blood
 
Magic/Melee resources stack on player, gun resources on target.
 
1:42 AM
in fact
I don't have an ability on my bar that builds blood resources
 
@pixel Then you're using a healing oriented primery/secondary.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz every single one of my abilities does some form of healing except slow the advance and fire in the hole :)
 
@pixel yeah, that's why.
 
If I don't use healing abilities like that I don't survive most fights
 
You give up the ability to build for the extra weapon, along for some damage in favor of healing.
 
1:43 AM
if I do use healing abilities like that I can stand in the black pharaoh's massive cone aoe
 
@pixel Yeah, the trick is to find a balance.
 
@pixel Did you mean 'Canoe'?
 
nope
 
@pixel Are you wearing gear with +Healing or +damage?
 
I meant cone
as in frontal cone
@LessPopMoreFizz mixture
@LessPopMoreFizz my gear is in a state of flux atm anyway
@LessPopMoreFizz half of it is QL10 but without glyphs in it because I haven't finished farming the mats
and the other half is just bad gear
 
1:46 AM
@pixel I wager if you refocused your ability and gear selection to +healing stuff you could solo heal most content.
because yeah, you're full on built as a healer.
 
What the fuck is this.
 
@LessPopMoreFizz I always heal
^ me
So I should rework my gear, not my abilities?
 
14 mins ago, by pixel
I am using assault rifles and still haven't a clue what my role is
@pixel I can't see your specific skills. Link either Chronicle or here: thesecretsandbox.com/Deck
 
yes but that's because this doesn't have holy fire and smite and evangelism
 
1:49 AM
I'm guessing that doesn't update very frequently
 
@pixel 24 hours I'm told
 
ok well it's currently wrong
 
@pixel Use the deck builder then?
 
working on it
 
Also, Have you tried Leeching Frenzy? I like that a shitton.
 
1:54 AM
@LessPopMoreFizz lol I've been using a passive for an ability I don't use anymore /facepalm
 
@pixel Is that your... guild-y...thing... that's called Cutie Mark Crusaders?
 
@Fluttershy that's the equivalent of a guild that spam invited me until I accepted
 
@pixel Oh. Gotcha. I thought you were a fan. =P
 
@pixel Have you always been on Turalyon?
 
Nope, fortunately guild chat doesn't work
@LessPopMoreFizz no
 
1:55 AM
Oh wait, Turalyon EU, nevermind
 
formally from Dissidence on Hellfire
@LessPopMoreFizz my american account: us.battle.net/wow/en/character/Illidan/Nerisella/advanced
 
I was wondering why my char didn't show up on a search. I thought it was just because I had been unsubbed too long.
Aww, midwinter finally gkicked me. I guess they're mid-transfer then.
 
:P
I am thankfully over my WoW problem
 
@pixel Eh, they're transferring the guild, so they kicked everyone I think
@pixel Same here.
Still pretty fucking proud of this tab though: us.battle.net/wow/en/character/ysera/Feist/achievement#81
 
@LessPopMoreFizz these are my abilities atm thesecretsandbox.com/…
(Yes I know I'm missing a passive)
 
1:59 AM
@pixel You might want to look at the last tree.
Leeching Frenzy/Groundwork, Imp Groundwork, Anima Frenzy, and Active Vessel are all really strong
 
I'm not using any frenzy abilities though, and the other two supplement abilities I'm also not using
 
@pixel Anima Frenzy is a frenzy.
is my point.
@pixel Like, I wouldn't switch those in for soloing.
 
But if you wanted to transition to straight healing, drop your damage, do that.
 
mm ok so now I just need to find a group that won't cry too much from me learning how to heal
 
user2334
2:03 AM
@Fluttershy I deleted it because the URL didn't work on account of SE mangling colons in URL fragments
 
@MarkTrapp Oh. It worked when I clicked it. >.>
 
user2334
@Fluttershy Oh, well then. NEVERMIND. It came up blank when I re-clicked it
 
Also... I am pretty proud of my 73 mounts... <___________<
 
user15026
@Fluttershy That is rather impressive.
 
I am proud of giving up smoking and WoW at the same time
although I am dieing for a cigarette
 
2:05 AM
@Fluttershy Erm, 118.
 
The worst of it is, my WoW account is still active because of Diablo 3
 
Including several... well... rare ones.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm still pretty proud of my 73... You were a more hardcore player than I. <.<
My rarest mount was the Raven Lord, I think...
 
user2334
@Fluttershy 76, including the Violet Proto Drake (which is what I was trying to link brag about) :(
 
@Fluttershy Understatement of the week.
 
2:06 AM
I had violet proto drake
It was rare on EU servers because nobody could be bothered to do achievements for a year
 
I think I'm probably proudest of Mim's head.
 
mimis head is rather rare
 
Although Invincible is pretty hot.
 
user2334
@pixel It took me 3.5 years to get because I kept rage quitting during Children's Week. I hate PvP ever so much
 
favourite mount was pureblood firehawk
quite simply because I DKP'd the guild into giving it me
 
2:07 AM
I think Amani Bear is prob the favorite, even if I wasn't proudest of it. Just because those were probably my happiest days playing wow.
 
and was the first on the realm to get it
@LessPopMoreFizz original bear?
 
Doing twice weekly bear runs on my paladin tank alt, and faming BT/Hyjal/Sunwell.
@pixel Fuck yes. No impostor bears.
 
Ah
I wasn't playing WoW then :P
 
We sold them for six months too.
Made bank.
 
user2334
My favorite mount I own is the Magic Rooster. Because Gnome on a rooster = argument invalid
 
2:08 AM
The guild I just left has been selling Cataclysm endboss mounts and glory of mounts for real money
 
Mim's head is cool just because I got it early.
@MarkTrapp Gnome riding inside of a giant gnomes head.
 
firehawk, lifebinders handmaiden, etc
wait, wrong names
I meant reskinned ulduar drake, reskinned malygos drake with horns
 
Before I transferred servers and faction changed, I was the first Alliance non-Draenei on my server to have an Elekk! =D
 
@LessPopMoreFizz are you on Grim?
Also when you right click somebody and choose 'Meet Up' what does it do?
 
@pixel Yes, and it teleports you to their shard/location
 
2:17 AM
so if I right click on @StrixVaria and click 'Meet Up' it would take me straight to him?
 
if you just want to shard hop, it's easier to just group with someone at random from general chat whose in the same zone as you and click yes - that way you don't teleport.
@pixel It will ask him if he wants to let you do so, and then yes.
BRB, rebooting to windows to play TSW.
 
:D
Linux as a primary OS made me cry
 
OS X, not Linux
BTW, did you see the State of The Game?
MONTHLY CONTENT!
Raid onNYC!
 
say what?
I heard something about adding raids
 
Coming in August.
 
2:22 AM
but it was in general chat so I ignored it
 
Raid zone is NYC
 
Sounds like they're adding a lot of content in August
 
Ragnar published a State of the game with a bunch of grand plans.
 
PvP seems like the fastest way to level
 
@pixel Oh you get XP for PvP?
 
2:23 AM
Haven't touched PVP yet.
@StrixVaria Yeah.
Lots of it in fact.
 
> We're going to be releasing fresh and tasty new content FREE to our subscribers on a regular, monthly basis.
"FREE"
Only $15/month
 
You get XP for finishing the quests at least
like, lots of XP
not sure about individual kills
 
@pixel From what I hear, PVP is faster than Maine, but slower than Egypt/Transylvania once you get to a point where you don't die a lot in those zones.
 
I've got very few, if any, quests left to do in Kingsmouth.
I guess tomorrow I'll try to find a pub for Polaris...I bet that goes horrendously.
 
@StrixVaria Get the honorary Townit hat yet?
 
2:24 AM
@LessPopMoreFizz feels faster than Egypt but slower than Transylvania
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Uh...I don't know
 
and if it is slower than Egypt then the illusion that it isn't is there for sure
 
@StrixVaria check your appearance section on character sheet.
It is a trashy looking hat
 
Could just be the fact I'm surrounded by other people rather than empty fields of loneliness
 
You get it for completing all Kingsmouth quests.
 
2:25 AM
I don't have a hat yet, so any hat must be better than no hat at all.
 
I'm still working on Blue Mountain personally.
@StrixVaria It has no stats. it's comsetic gear.
 
I definitely haven't completed all the quests.
 
So no, it isn't neccesarily better than no hat.
@StrixVaria All the quests for town residents.
as opposed to folks like the Orochi duo near Polaris.
Who are part of a seperate achievement
 
Orochi ach requires the instance
 
Correct.
Which is a great instance btw
It has REAL MECHANICS
And little to no trash!
 
2:27 AM
I don't think I have any hats.
 
@pixel have you cleared it yet? Or just solo'd a bunch while overgeared
 
I don't have a dropdown slot for "head".
I have a few extra coats, though.
I don't know where those came from.
 
Solo'd upto the last boss while overgeared
well I assume its the last boss
I thought I had completed it but the helicopter crashed
the big dude after that did more damage to me than I did healing
 
@pixel Yeah, the one that you have to LOS
 
I am missing "Men in Black Vans", which I did the first 3 tiers of and then gave up on the last part, and "ATC"
Which I have no clue what ATC is or where to get it.
 
2:29 AM
Do you find the 'Even the Odds' buff doesn't work completely correctly?
Like if you're too low level you'll still die very quick, while if you're higher level you seem to take so much less damage in comparison
 
I've done no real pop.
Pvp*
 
Ah there we go, FPS crashed out
 
@StrixVaria ATC comes from Danny over at the skatepark
 
its definitely not caused by overheating anyway
everything is at 50 degrees or lower atm
 
@StrixVaria Same dude who gave you Men in Black Vans
 
2:32 AM
Weird. I swear I did all his quests. I guess I'll go finish those up now.
Holy crap they're planning to add a ton of content to this game.
 
good because at the moment it feels like the end game is pvp
and bad because I was meant to be quitting MMOs
 
Oh I see why I didn't do ATC. It's a yellow mission.
Ugh yellow missions.
 
Yellow missions are the second best ones.
Only brown are better.
 
I love green missions
 
Not sure what brown is.
 
2:34 AM
Investigation > sabotage > killing shit.
Investigation.
 
Oh green missions.
I don't like stealth.
 
Green is side missions.
 
Green is investigation with no map markers!
"Slow the advance" is OP
in PvP I can safely say its used in 90%+ of my kills
 
Evenin, folks
 
Illuminati owning Fusang
 
2:48 AM
So, who wants to run Polaris with me? >.>
 
Yeah I'll probably never complete ATC.
 
I'm not built to tank ATM or I would. I should be by this weekend. :/
 
I hate this kind of crap.
 
I can probably tank it, tbh
QL4/5 Blade/Chaos and I already picked up Agitator
 
@StrixVaria whats up?
 
2:49 AM
I hate stealth.
"Don't get seen" missions are the worst.
 
ah
 
@StrixVaria I had very little trouble with that quest
 
This is two missions in as many missions that I appear to have missed
 
I wasn't sure if their sight was just very poor or if it was bugged, but I just walked in and out, basically
 
I clearly didn't do as good of a job of sweeping up quests as I had thought
 
2:50 AM
@strix grab the disguise under the airstrip and it's easy?
 
oh that quest
 
And yeah, there's a disguise
 
@StrixVaria your 'use' range for the laptop is literally the middle of the room
Don't walk up to the guy, he'll catch you every single time
 
There are 2 bodies here, both have the same code and no disguise...
 
@strix check your bags.
 
2:52 AM
I can't remember if the disguise was a use item or something that appeared in dressing room
 
sigh
 
it's a use item
 
Do the rest of you suffer massive FPS lag in Agartha btw?
 
the entire game is smoooth FPS for me
 
2:54 AM
I really need a new graphics card
FPS in the rest of the game is fine, apart from when it drops out to 0 and the game crashes immediately after
 
What do you have now?
 
70
oh graphics card?
HD 6750
 
eh, not that shabby really
I'm on a GTX 460 still
 
its a PC build for WoW, overkill CPU, underwhelming GPU
I guess I could lower my graphics settings further
