@PatrickStalder haha
 
I swear this X-men cartoon has a pun quota per episode or something
 
@PatrickStalder Turn on advanced tooltips?
I mean, they're still not perfect, and I've found the setting sometimes bugs out and turns them off, but it goes a long way.
 
user15026
@Sterno They most likely got paid per pun or something ;)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz That doens't tell you what your "primary weapon" is. Or tells you that procs can only trigger once per ability activation...

A: Addressing game confirmations and release dates

OakAsking about release dates of future titles is both localized and speculative and should not be allowed - even if the company made an official declaration, that is not binding - many, many games were released long after their official release dates. Asking about whether the game is in the works ...

Oak sums it up pretty well.
And @pixel also makes a good pooint.
 
9:02 PM
@PatrickStalder Primary weapon = the one in your hand when you hit.
 
Today has had too many people agreeing with me, I'm going to go shower.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes I just found that one out. But luckily "finish the movement" is still viable even though it does not what I suspected
 
Some questions about games which haven't been released are fine, but this isn't one of them. Not only has blizzard not released a price, but even if they did that could change between then and now (and I'd still consider that question close-worthy. We're not a pricing service.)
 
shrug community has spoken
 
Also, just want to address something else you said:
 
9:05 PM
@PatrickStalder Finish the Movement is quite good.
 
12 mins ago, by David B
appeal to reopen a hasty close on an answered question.
 
@DavidB Community is a robot! Robots don't talk!
 
I didn't see Community speak
 
"Hasty" is good. Questions should be closed quickly.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz great minds, and all that...
 
9:05 PM
The idea is to close them, fix them, and then re-open them.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, but I thought I would be able to spam Blaze like a firestorm.
 
If the question is fixed before the last close vote, that's great!
 
I will endeavor more to edit, as that will return the question to the top of the active list rather than appeal in this forum
 
PvP is so much fun with 1k lag-spikes...

Q: Is Wings of Liberty required to play Heart of the Swarm?

meotimdihiaDo I need to own Wings of Liberty in order to play Heart of The Swarm, or is Heart of the Swarm a stand alone title?

I still don't think this should be re-opened, but this is the only shot the question has at being re-opened.
The answer is "Yes", but until the game is released any answers would be, imo, incomplete.
 
9:13 PM
(I don't see how that helps the asker with his problem, but I guess that's the point - this site can't help the asker with his problem)
 
@Wipqozn actually, that one is answerable, as Blizzard have confirmed it and they are classifying it as an expansion pack
 
5 mins ago, by Wipqozn
The answer is "Yes", but until the game is released any answers would be, imo, incomplete.
 
but then that leads to another problem - somebody edited a question so it no longer asks what the original poster wanted to know
backs away from policy discussion
 
I'm content at this place as well
 
@pixel That seems to be part of his question, which DavidB touched on in his question.
 
9:15 PM
@Wipqozn read the original unedited question, it doesn't even ask that
 
> I can update Wing of Liberty to Heart of the Swarm with cheap cost when it is released
Not directly, but it looks like he is also asking if you need Wings of Liberty.
 
yes - that says: "Is it possible to update to Heart of the Swarm for a reduced price when it is released as I already own Wings of Liberty?"
 
Feel free to roll it back. I could be terribly wrong.
@pixel Yeah, true. I agree.
 
I will edit it to that, to save this misunderstanding again
 
Wow, SC2 was two years ago? Blizzard needs to speed this stuff up
 
9:20 PM
@Sterno Two years isn't very long in Blizzard time.
 
not at all, Cataclysm was nearly 2 years ago as well
 
Soon™! ftw
 
AUGH SKYRIM MISSING FOLLOWER ITERATION NUMBER 634.
 
Titan will still be another 3
 
> As of June 15, 2012, the game is complete. The only unfinished thing is "tuning and polishing". No release date was specified
From wikipedia.
So I'd say we're looking at a 2013 release date.
 
9:21 PM
 
@Wipqozn therefore it must be true!
 
hehehe
 
@Wipqozn I seem to remember Brood War coming out less than a year later.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz 11 questions deserves a tag of its own
 
@pixel That's just the closed subset.
 
yeah - and she's the first companion too
 
We have more than one hundred questions about Lydia.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Lydia gets around.
 
9:23 PM
@Sterno They took 12 years to come out with Diablo III ...
 
@Alok technically, Diablo 3 got cancelled and started from scratch
 
@Alok That's different than slapping some extra missions and units onto an existing game
 
you are correct though
 
Though still ridiculous
 
@Wipqozn That hussy. She married me. She swore an oath. How could she? I feel so betrayed.
 
9:24 PM
I wonder if I need to be retarded and buy Dark Souls for PC even though I already played it on the console
 
Problem is, Condor's Diablo 3 was probably an awesome game
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Everyone knows puppets aren't really people.
 
@pixel Ok, 7 years then - could've used a few more for "tuning and polishing"
 
@Alok totally
Easily another decade, based on how bad it was at launch
 
@Wipqozn something something chikfila
 
9:25 PM
@Sterno Depends how long the game takes to release it's DLC.
 
@pixel All they had to do was update Diablo 2 graphics, throw in another char or two and that's it ... instead of running full tilt in the wrong direction. Love their justifications though, they're so delusional its hilarious
 
@Alok "WoW prints money! Lets make Diablo 3 like WoW!"

Q: Smithing Improvement became less effective after some time ? (Skyrim)

FendiI did not level much after my last improvement for a dwarven bow, which gives a legendary status of 77 while using a ring, a necklace, an outfit and gloves that improve smithing around 25%. I also took a smithing elixir (50% improvement) However, I improved my enchanting skills so I wanted to cr...

Q: How do I counter Bloodseeker mid?

Alec D.I've been playing Dota for at least a year and always seem to run into trouble laning mid against a good Bloodseeker (one that can last-hit/deny well). Even if I try to harass him, he will STILL last-hit/deny his way through the damage and eventually reach a quick lvl 6. Not to mention I'll lik...

Q: Where did Lydia go?

DylanI recently went to a watchtower and met this girl Illia to help her kill her mom with Lydia. I thought she was cute so i told lydia we would part ways and followed Illia. Lydia told me that she'll be home if i need her and she is carrying a bunch of my expensive things, which i forgot she was car...

 
btw - this is your formal announcement that I'm going to not have a good internet connection or a good way to access it from tomorrow until the EU afternoon of the 8th. I'll still be here, but only with as much ram as my shitty mobile's got.

I'm surprised nobody's made a 10 hour YouTube video of that sound clip
 
@MarkTrapp I'm relieved.
 
@Koviko Good for the Jim Henson Co.! And Boston! =3
 
@Fluttershy As much as I am opposed to Chick-fil-A's stance against gay marriage, today they had Receipt Day
Everything you buy today, you can get again next week for free with the receipt
 
@Koviko That is not enough for me to give them my business. I will continue avoiding Chick-fil-A.
 
9:51 PM
I am so happy that I do not need to engage with the moral quandary that is 'tasty chicken sandwich vs. homophobic bigoted fast food company'
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz It is a toughie, I'll tell you that.
Maybe on Sunday, I'll remember what I hate about them.
 
There is no Chick-fil-a in NY unless you go into an NYU dining hall. And that is a place where any sane man would fear to tread.
 
I'm now going to torture myself with some LoL...
 
You ever built an application and then been told, "Now, write it again, but it in a programming language that you don't yet know"?
I built a website in PHP, and am now being told that it needs to be ASP.NET
My solution is to just make everything JavaScript-heavy and avoid anything beyond setting and echoing variables.
 
@pixel To be fair, they did very well on that aspect (which I wish they hadn't) :(
 
9:55 PM
@Alok oh they've definitely got good at making colourful and pretty games
They're pretty good at making games that run on pretty much any computer from the last decade as well
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do not need to -> ignore it like me; or you're vegan?

yeah saw it 10 secs after posting, I really should read till the end of the thread first :P
 
Is this another political discussion
 
user2334
@Koviko That's when you say, "Sure, no problem: I'll have to hire contractors do that, which will quadruple the original estimate I gave you and certainly prevent launching on time. Let me know what you want to do."
 
9:58 PM
@pixel Not that, I was referring to the $$$ printing with AH - so many fools buying $250 weapons means its a bigger cash cow than just the initial bumper sales
 
@MarkTrapp That's a thought.
 
@Alok it's so dangerous though, can you imagine WoW with a proper difficulty curve that prevents anybody but the top 100 guilds in the world from clearing the instance, all items BOE, with a RMAH in game?
 
@pixel Only vaguely. More of a fast food chicken sandwich discussion.
 
@pixel You mean TBC mixed with Diablo 3? We'd die.
 
I've never even heard of this place you're talking about
@Koviko totally that, and bankrupt 9 million people at the same time

Q: Best way to deal with slightly non-connecting mob spawners

Saif BechanI have found a nether fortress where there are two blaze spawners that are pretty close to each other. However, they are not close enough for me to connect them, I think the gap between then is about 100 blocks. I was wondering what the best way will be to deal with them. Should I just break one...

Q: What happens later if I send Admiral Mikhailovich away?

edemThe wikia page says nothing about this. I remember from my first playthrough that nothing happens if I let him inspect the ship in terms of later repercussions. I never tried sending him away though. Will it have some impact on the story later?

 
@MarkTrapp And biscuits. Good God, those biscuits...
 
user2334
 
I just realized that, even though I never beat Skyrim, I'm never afraid to open Skyrim questions in fear of spoilers
Because almost everything specific always goes over my head
 
@Koviko The plot can just be summed up as tl;dr: Dragons.

10:03 PM
@pixel Never played WoW; but looking at D3 ... more money for Blizz each raid?
 
user2334
 
@Alok And my guild would expect us all to shell out the cash to not suck.
 
@Alok substantionally larger playerbase with massive peer pressure to be decked out in the best purples possible
 
But Blizz might release raid content faster
 
@Koviko Isn't TBC the original version, with the shattered realms stuff now and MoP coming out? (pardon my ignorance, I'm probably the only person here who doesn't know all the wow expacs >_> )
 
10:04 PM
@Alok top 100-250 guilds in the world would make enough money during progress to not work
 
@Alok TBC was the first expansion.
 
TBC is the first expansion, its now provided as part of the original game
MoP is the fourth expansion
 
@pixel Hmm good point, I never thought of that - atleast in D3, thanks to per player MF & loot there isn't so much peer pressure to gear up.
 
Known for having raid content that is inaccessible to most of the playerbase aside from the elite.
Lich King at least allowed most players to see approx. half of a raid
 
@Alok that and 4 player parties... servers have thousands of people on them in WoW
 
10:06 PM
@Alok Plus it's easy to quit Diablo
 
Wow its that hard? Though I guess it makes sense, to provide endgame content for fanatics
 
WoW is a different story.
 
@Alok was
@Alok WoW is currently one step away from setting up an online store to sell items, even though they say they'll never do that
@Alok gameplay went from months of progression to get anything at all to dropping epics in 5 man dungeons that take 10 minutes to complete
 
@Alok My hope with the next expansion is that they will draw a more clear line between hardcore content and casual content
 
10:08 PM
@Koviko that was the point of raid finder, at least
 
@pixel yeah, but it's still a new concept
Blizzard is known for doing stuff wrong the first time around
 
@Koviko didn't stop them nerfing DS into the floor
 
@Koviko That won't work; people who play thrice a week will still feel entitled to the best gear
 
@Alok Considering they are splitting PvE and PvP even further, it wouldn't be much of an issue IMO
But I'm not Blizz so... lol
 
@Koviko cough post-D2
 
10:10 PM
@MarkTrapp I would agree with that if I didn't know The Light and The Glory that is Korean Fried Chicken.
If you've never had Bonchon/Kyochon, you cannot rule on the argument properly.
 
or rather, post warcraft III, that was also a good game at release
 
@Alok technically, Diablo 3 is Blizzard's first Diablo game
 
AHHHHH SET WAND
 
@pixel Seriously? I thought Blizzard owned the Diablo franchise as of the first game
They were the publisher, correct?
 
they owned the IP
they didn't develop the game
 
10:11 PM
@pixel The new team's yes; but Blizz North were employees for a while before making D2
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh I thought this was just scoped to fast food fried chicken
 
Blizzard North were a separate entity in a separate location who wrote the game as they saw fit
 
@MarkTrapp Bonchon is fast food fried chicken.
It just happens to be a fairly small korean chain.
 
Yes, but still Blizzard - pre-Kotick
 
Metzen doesn't appear on the credits of the first two afaik
 
user2334
10:12 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Your ideas are intriguing and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz This is in NY, or you fly to Korea when you want takeout?
 
@Alok They have a little over a dozen locations in the NY Metro area. A few in NOVA/Boston, and one out in CA as far as the US is concerned right now.
 
@pixel I really doubt he actually did anything besides appearing on credits in #3; probably wrote entire story in one sitting on the loo
 
@Alok on toilet paper
 
it is basically the best fried chicken I have ever had.
 
10:14 PM
I thought the story was nice. In Act 1.
Then it started to get bizarre and predictable.
 
@Koviko its not hard to go wrong with characters like Deckard Cain, Tyrael, etc
in fact, Deckard Cain solo carried act 1
it went downhill after his death
 
True that.
 
they picked it up very briefly when the Butcher made an appearance
 
@pixel And in some crappy in-game cutscene at that.
 
10:15 PM
because 'Ah... Fresh Meat...' pre-dates the internet*
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz bonchonbayarea.com just confirming, these guys? Which flavor is better?
 
* = as we know it
 
@Alok Yeah, them.
 
but then it was all downhill
 
Most people prefer the hot, but I actually like the soy garlic more. It's not that the hot is bad or that I don't like spicy, but the soy just hits the spot for me for some reason.
 
10:16 PM
Deckard Cain goes toe to toe with the 3 prime evils, and gets killed by Butterflies.
srs bsns
 
@Koviko I guessed it was Tyrael when we found him - and, dumbass who wakes the dead, gets his friend killed, gets fooled easily got the post of Wisdom; I wonder what IQ the other angels have
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hmm thanks for the recommendation :)
 
There is also Kyochon which is basically the same thing from a different company in LA and NYC.
 
Act 1 in the state of mind I was in at the time (pushing 24+ hours awake) with the friends I was playing it with on release day felt epic
 
Btw, did anyone see the post on Blizz forums complaining about Tyrael's ethnicity?
 
I went to work, came back to Act 2, was wondering if I was playing the same game
 
10:18 PM
I got the impression that Tyrael was an embodiment of all races.
 
@pixel Actually, more than that - he was alive but wounded after Maghda left. Instead of getting treatment, he uses remaining energy to restore a memory aid
 
@Koviko irrelevant, they're just racist, Tyrael has never been shown out of his armour
@Alok while stood next to an angel, none the less
and lets not even start with the random appearance of Leah
talk about shoehorned in
 
@Koviko Tyrael = token black dude I guess. I don't care about ethnicity in games or even poking fun at stereotypes, so I don't really follow those discussions
 
@Koviko racism doesnt exist in the world of sanctuary, its a world full of demons and skeletons that will destroy everything you care for in a split second, there's no time to hate against your own species
 
@Alok As a black guy, I think they need more black people in games. Not CJ from GTA or Coach from L4D... just regular American black guy.
@pixel Just like the Legion brought together the Horde and Alliance for a spell.
 
10:21 PM
indeed
 
@Koviko Games are getting more variety of chars though, although often its more of orc, gnome, elf instead of different human skin tones
 
@Alok Yeah, I guess that's fine too. I think a pull away from humanity in general is wise.
Especially for the escapist quality of gaming.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz do you think that posting a question asking to identify every game sampled and melody lifted in this track would be pushing to the next level? :P
 
I'm sure there's a Music.SE around here somewhere...
Actually, I'm not sure, but I assume.
 
its a gaming related question though
I'm not asking for music information :D
its a track made of game samples and reworked melodies from games
 
10:27 PM
That hurts my brain. Cease!
Cea.SE
 
legend of zelda: a link to the past
some mario kart in there transposed to a different key
 
@pixel The angel was bound & too weak to fight back due to memory loss. Ignore the part where he's fought for millenia and can probably kill Maghda in his sleep
 
mario brothers coin pickup sound
@Alok I know right, that fall must have given him severe memory loss instead of killing him...
 
@Alok Well, he IS a mortal, now. If any of us fell from the Heaven's, we'd have a bad headache at the very least.
 
@Koviko certainly would have broken through a cathedral roof and gone three floors down through century old floors and walls

Q: Is there any way to cancel a shot?

yx.If I accidentally enter a wrong power level, is there anyway to cancel a shot mid swing? Right onw, either I'll be forced to take a shot with the wrong power level, or it'll reach the end of the swing and go off in a random direction.

 
@Lazers Sweet tag.
 
FAE
@StrixVaria I thought it was a typo for Wii but it turns out it's because it's "Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational"
 
@FAE Oh. Well I guess it's ok then...

@Wipqozn W... what
 
10:37 PM
@Wipqozn Oh no quick hide the cakez!
 
@pixel I don't think it would be off topic at all, but I appear to be in the minority on the subject.
 
I mean, IMO this would be the best place to ask that kind of thing... bunch of gamers all playing different games, lots of experience to draw on just there
 
@pixel Though, it'd be tough to accept one answer when you are asking for an exhaustive list.
 
community wiki ftw
 
10:52 PM
@pixel Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the incentive.
When I see something turned into community wiki here
It's because the answerer gave up on it.
And the list never gets completed.
 
fml, this NCIS episode has the numa numa guy
 
So, when something is posted by @Lazers, can we know why someone saw fit to call the question out?
 
called out?
Lazers links all new questions afaik
 
Oh. I thought it meant a question had been reported
And it was charging it's lazers
 
FAE
@Koviko Lazers just posts all new questions. It reads the new question feed.
 
11:01 PM
I guess that goes to show how many of those questions look crappy to me.
 
Smite's not bad, but it tends to have the same problems as LoL; rage quitters and people who surrender at the slightest difficulty.
 
@Koviko My answer on max affix values is that way; too much incorrect info out there to maintain it :(
 
And people who quit when the surrender vote fails.
 
Do all of you have a Smite key?
I thought that event hadn't started yet ...
 
@Alok Hint: if all the info out there is incorrect, use what you can find in game.
It'll be time-consuming, but you can use the AH to try to find max affix values.
@Alok It hasn't. @FAE was nice enough to give me a beta key.
So I'm getting a leg up on it. :P
 
11:16 PM
@fbueckert You really think I want to do that for the huge list of affixes? Hence, CW! :D
