I found the AH pretty annoying and limited. It's hard for me to get a realistic idea what a specific item is actually worth. And the search options are also very limited in some annoying ways.
 
Trading items was the part of D2 that stayed fun even after you beat the game a million times. Now, that is harder.
 
@GnomeSlicE Yeah. He posted a REALLY crappy answer.
 
@OrigamiRobot Eew, I HATED trading in D2. I maybe traded 2 items the entire time I played because the trade channels were so messed up and the economy lacked any consistent currency.
 
I like to have a history of trades, this is certainly complicated in D3 as every item is different, but there should be ways to give the players more information about the worth of items.
 
5:02 PM
@bwarner There was absolutely a currency
 
@MadScientist It'd be nice if it displayed recently sold items that are similar to the one you want to sell.
 
@MadScientist I would love to see some sort of "Similar items that sold recently" feature
@OrigamiRobot I stopped playing before runes became currency (which is how I understand it worked in the later years)
 
You know what. It's time for some Super Spring Break Speedboat Hero.
 
@bwarner Hah! Same idea!
 
The only other virtual marketplace I have experience with is EVE, and there you can get a much better idea of the price people are willing to pay for most items. But that exact system wouldn't work for D3
 
5:03 PM
@bwarner I never played on b.net before all that. We was poor.
 
When I and @bwarner agree, that has to mean the idea is absolutely awesome!
Blizz! Stop what you're doing and come check this out! :P
 
The part of trading that sucked was actually finding the trade you wanted because the D2 UI was also terrible.
Here are 20 random games. Good Luck!
 
And while it may be difficult to determine the value of items in D3, the ONLY way to do it in D2 was to go to some external website
@fbueckert Heh, am I that hard to agree with?
 
@bwarner Compared to @Wipqozn, you're easy. But then, you're not the chat room scapegoat. :P
 
@bwarner I know, that's why I love the idea of the AH, but it is just too limited to be as useful as it needs to be.
 
5:05 PM
@fbueckert You rang?
 
What's blizzardsauce up to now
 
@GnomeSlicE You're just crazy. You're not the scapegoat until people try to explain stuff to you.
 
@fbueckert ... :/
 
@GnomeSlicE Being crazy isn't a bad thing. It adds spice to life.
 
5:07 PM
Along with making people scared of you. Eventually, they take you peeing in the fountain as par for the course.
 
But I also understand that it is very difficult for Blizzard to get constructive feedback because everyone on the D3 forums is an entitled whiner.
And anyone who gives any kind of praise is labeled a delusional fanboy.
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, yes. What do you expect? Rational forum posters?
 
@OrigamiRobot I've actually been surprised at the amount of non-ranting I've found on there today.
 
Just do what Valve does and take a mega shitton of metrics
Ignore forums
 
@tiddy This.
 
5:09 PM
If I was Blizzard or Valve I would completely ignore forums
 
@tiddy Oh, I have for many many years.
 
One guy suggested that gear should be bound to the account, and in exchange, allow sockets to be added to it.
 
@fbueckert Similar to customizing a weapon in GW.... interesting

A: Can I use a game controller to play Diablo 3?

John FredriksonYou can use any Microsoft game controller - be sure to insert the installation disk to configure the controller to your prefrences of Diablo 3. Please be sure that the controller is not prohibited by Blizzard by first sending their support team a quick support ticket concerning the matter as to ...

Does this answer make sense to anyone?
It seems pretty goddamned incoherent to me.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Let me check, if its incoherent to me, it likely is to everyone.
 
5:11 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah; First thoughts was, "Are you crazy!?". But the post was actually coherent, and made a rational argument as to WHY gear should be account bound.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...Seems like a lot of unnecessary[?] stuff in it...
 
@fbueckert Wait...all gear or the option to do this?
 
@OrigamiRobot The option
 
Do you really need to send Blizzard a support ticket to set up your gamepad?
 
@GnomeSlicE Keep in mind that everything he's saying is also false.
What little bit of it makes any sense at all.
 
5:12 PM
As far as I know, game publishers don't 'prohibit' controllers, either...
 
@fbueckert Ok, just making sure. I like that idea. Too bad it's too miniscule to actually get implemented.
 
@DaveMcClelland You didn't miss anything, I intentionally haven't brought it up. If you or anyone else really wants to know, you can hit me up on Steam.
 
HOLY SHIT IT'S AN @ArdaXi
5
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Look what you did.
 
@GnomeSlicE :(
 
5:14 PM
@OrigamiRobot It's a good idea
 
Come back @ArdaXi we miss you. :(
6
Now we will never have our terrible mod. :(
 
@fbueckert That I have not, its been a hell of a set of weeks at work :)
 
Speaking of work, I FINALLY GOT MOVED INTO THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
@James Pfft. Meet my unreasonable demands!
 
@fbueckert Hehe, I will try to when I get time :)
 
5:17 PM
@James More seriously, yeah, that's fine. The Atelier Iris series for PS2 are the first Gust games, and provide a good introduction of the whole thing.
The PS3 Atelier games are more freeform, but have a time limit.
 
Okay. Clearly the wrong way of doing this. I just don't like seeing people speculate about why I left.
 
if you start a level with speed down pill, full health pill and mom's pad
...what's the point in continuing
 
@QAdp Spite
 
Jin
so
you guys get mousepads
12
 
Sidenote: I'm less than 20 rep from 3K. So close to close votes.
@Jin Yay! Optical mice don't need them, but yay!
 
Jin
5:20 PM
@fbueckert really? my optical mouse needs it, because i have a glass table
 
@fbueckert They do if your desk surface is too uniform.
@Jin All of us?
 
Jin
@GnomeSlicE top user swag. i is making 'em
 
@Jin Sweet!
 
@Jin Then why are you using a glass table? Sounds...fragile.
 
Jin
of course it will have the standard shirt 'n stickers. and SE branded stuff.
 
5:21 PM
Speaking of top user swag, how does that work?
 
@Jin aww man, now I need to make a concentrated push to hit the top X users :(
 
Jin
@fbueckert it's quite strong actually. I'm a fan of big glass table surface
 
@fbueckert Not any more. =]
 
Top users get mousepads you say? I could go for a mousepad.
 
3,003 reps.
 
5:22 PM
In other news, I still haven't gotten any of the swag from the last mod election or the diablo 3 contest.
 
@Jin Wood surface is babies.
 
My mousepad is getting ratty. I would like a new one.
 
@IanPugsley Last time it was top 2 pages, so you've got it.
 
@GnomeSlicE Yay! Votes to close all questions
 
@RonanForman sweet
 
5:23 PM
@RonanForman hooray, that means I get it too
 
I wonder is we could wrangle an extra few for stackgaming to give away...
 
Jin
look how beautiful the glass surface is, when you put some floor lights underneath it.
@Wipqozn you should be getting d3 shirt soon.
 
wait, crap, I'm on page 3.
 
Jin
@IanPugsley last time when we did top user swag(a year ago), we only sent it to top 2 page users (sorted by rep, all time)
but since the community has grown a lot in the past year, we'll increase the page# count
 
5:25 PM
Who gets mousepaddios
 
Jin
@tiddy at this point, i'm 100% certain it will be at LEAST top 3 page users, but i'll try to push it further..
 
@Jin Oh, awesome!
 
I'm on page 2?
 
@Jin Chris says 'Yaaaaaaayyeeeee'
 
@Jin oh, good
 
5:26 PM
I guess I'm top 3
HIZZAH!
 
I haven't gained any significant rep in months.
I don't play anything anyone else is interested in. x_x
 
Yeah no one wants to play Gnomeslice
 
Jin
gaming community is by far the biggest and most activity community we have, i don't feel it's fair to restrict it to top 2 pages only like we do for the other sites, for top user swag.
 
6 coins in purse. 11 behind a bunch of rocks. Groups of 3 and 2 behind a rock. One coin and one soul heart behind rocks. 0 bombs. Open store. No bombs, but the book of revelations, for 7 coins.
Entire level explored
kaspoèapotrkpokrpn
 
Jin
Lauren is on vacation right now. when she gets back next week i'll have to her the top user swag mockups on meta, and collect mailing info for you guys.
 
5:28 PM
@Jin What do you think about this:
4 mins ago, by Ronan Forman
I wonder is we could wrangle an extra few for stackgaming to give away...
 
(this is still the speed down + wasted full health pill run)
 
Jin
@RonanForman i saw, but i don't know what you mean?
 
@QAdp The one I really hate is when I get bombs that you need to use bombs to get but I don't have enough bombs
 
@Jin He means for the community to have some sort of contest to win a few of them that you would give us for that purpose.
 
@QAdp at least now you know what the full health pill is
 
5:29 PM
We do need a new intro for the new theme...
 
@murgatroid99 yeah, I dropped another and had to use it - in Basement 2
such is the life with Eve
 
@murgatroid99 not as bad as zero keys, both the item room and the shop are locked, and you've got money to spend...
 
Jin
@GnomeSlicE hmm we could. i'll talk to Lauren about it. meanwhile if you guys have ideas for contest themes, post on meta
 
@RonanForman Like?
 
then you gamble and open the shop with the one key you find on the whole level, only to fight Greed
 
Jin
5:30 PM
in totally related news, i lost another cruiser in Eve lastnight. the guy held my pod for ransom too
 
@Jin Nice work.
 
Jin
then i was like "go ahead kill me, i'm broke"
 
@IanPugsley yes, I have gotten levels with zero keys and multiple gold chests on the level
 
@GnomeSlicE That thing that I was working on but suck at, we could do a contest for the community to make one.
 
Jin
and he obliged.
 
5:30 PM
@RonanForman What thing?
 
@IanPugsley bonus points for spending 15¢ on a Steam Sale one floor earlier
 
@GnomeSlicE The arcade machine I was modelling.
 
@QAdp at least then Greed can't take your money
 
@QAdp double bonus points for it being curse of the labyrinth and losing a shop
 
Jin
btw i posted the Arqade logo vector file
 
5:31 PM
fuck this, I'm getting brimstone and dropping down to 2 max hearts T_T
 
@RonanForman Don't think we're going to use that anyway, but I've mostly given up on working on what I was working on.
 
@QAdp I love brimstone
 
@Jin Er... are we allowed to use it?
 
I was going to use the heart.
 
5:31 PM
@GnomeSlicE I tried again, but I suck at textures.
 
Jin
@GnomeSlicE for community/fan design work, use the pixel art
 
@RonanForman I suck at everything.
 
@GnomeSlicE Skygrid 5 will have the red heart again.
 
@murgatroid99 yes. One strong attack every once in a while > Many weak attacks
 
@GnomeSlicE LIES
 
5:32 PM
except for knockback
 
@RonanForman Skywhat?
 
@Jin And it's for reasons like this I don't play Eve.
 
@GnomeSlicE Do you even watch our videos?
 
Jin
we already post eps for the Trilogy and SE logos here: stackexchange.com/about/logos
 
@Jin I think we're just going to use the heart, to make it different from a low-res version of your new logo.
@RonanForman I can't watch any videos on my internet connection.
 
Jin
5:32 PM
@fbueckert that's the reason i love Eve :) it's very thrilling.
 
I spent an afternoon reading about some fantastic EVE heists
 
Also, not really.
@Jin ...Why?
 
Jin
it's weird, even when i get ganked in Eve, i'm not mad. I almost enjoy it..
 
Like, some corps literally spend years infiltrating other corps, just to rob and murder them
It's fantastic
 
Jin
it's part of the game.
 
5:33 PM
@Jin When I play competitively, I like to play in the same room as my opponent. That way, if they're a douche, I can get up and smack them upside the head.
 
@GnomeSlicE Blogs and things.
 
user30
ahahahahahahahahaha
 
@RonanForman Good point, but for most people a .png would be just fine.
 
user30
@QAdp That's great
 
5:34 PM
@GnomeSlicE Yeah, but it's not exactly more effort to do otherwise.
 
@RonanForman It is if people have no idea what an .eps is.
 
@Jin At least cruisers are cheap, if you don't fly a cynabal or some crazy stuff like that.
 
Fantastic EVE read: eve.klaki.net/heist
About once such heist
 
FUCK
 
user30
5:35 PM
calm it yo
 
two goblins attack me symmetrically, no way out
can't push them back. dead
I hate you so much Eve
 
Jin
@QAdp what's this Eve you're talking about? my Eve?
 
user30
@GnomeSlicE Got the mastered version of my mates track he's getting released yesterday.
 
I tend to fly cheap stuff, so I don't mind getting killed that much. The most expensive stuff I fly is a Drake, so I can lose a lot of ships before it'll really hurt me
 
user30
So so so so good.
 
5:36 PM
@Jin does she have two hearts?
 
@ThomasMcDonald Hmm?
 
Jin
@MadScientist yeah, my vexor is cheap. also i'm waiting for a lot of skills to train up now.
 
@Jin At how many SP are you? In the beginning I found it annoying to wait, now that I'm near 20 million it doesn't matter that much anymore
 
Jin
@MadScientist i've only been playing for 1 week. have about 450k sp right now. i'm a total noob
@MadScientist my char is "Nyne Lionheart"
 
5:38 PM
@ThomasMcDonald This is great.
 
In the very beginning, every day makes a difference in skills. Most of the skills I put in now take 3-7 days each and only give a small improvement
@Jin Are you in null, low or high-sec?

Q: Arrows still fall short after removing Quick Shot

TreeTreeI got that perk but I regretted it and the only way to get rid of it was through the console, which is what I did. But that annoying bug is still there, so now I draw my bow at regular speed only to have half of the arrows drop dead? I tried restarting the game and reloading, the problem is stil...

Q: How do you kill the drougr, in Saarthal?

Spider-Man's WifeEvery time I try to kill the drougr in the huge cave like room, I die. How so I kill him? Please help me. Thanks!

Q: How do I get items from one character to another?

C-dizzleWhile I was playing Sorceress, I picked up a unique shield, but want my Paladin to use it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the stash is shared between characters like it is in D3. So how do I swap out items between my characters? Or am I just S.O.L?

 
@ThomasMcDonald What does he produce with?
 
argh, dammit steam! I am tired of these non-summer-sale sales.
 
user30
@GnomeSlicE shrug no idea
 
user30
5:43 PM
That track has had quite a lot of airplay on R1.
 
Jin
@MadScientist high/lowsec. doing asteroid belt ratting for now.
 
@agent86 Read that they are purposefully putting up lesser known indie games this week because of all the summer sale traffic
 
I've actually only been once in null-sec, I'm in FW so it's mostly low-sec
 
@tiddy Who? Where?
 
@tiddy >:|
 
5:46 PM
@tiddy If they're putting up lesser known indie games, then they need to put up GOOD indie games.
 
user30
I started playing Eve once.
 
user30
Never again.
 
None of this Zebra space crap.
 
Go with Maggie instead
Great starter char
 
@agent86 Clearly none of them are worth playing.
 
5:48 PM
Valve could likely wait until august will little or no dent in sales
Possibly even more
(sales)
 
If you guys want some good, cheap indie games to look into... just ask...
 
Cause valve
 
@GnomeSlicE today's deal is a 4 year old shooter that has a 50 on metacritic, so yeah, I'm not that interested.
 
Jin
I was checking out some DayZ vids. looks interesting, but the graphics just look very subpar to me, for today's standard
 
and when I think "indie" I don't really think "command and conquer" series either
 
user30
5:50 PM
I could never get into Arma II multiplayer. Waaaaay too big.
 
@Jin The graphics aren't so bad. But the performance is really crap
 
@QAdp I agree. Though once you get the D6 Isaac is awesome
 
Out there Somewhere is fun with a teleport fun, Climb to the Top of the Castle is a tricky (And FREE) but entertaining platformer, Megabyte Punch is an AWESOME fighting game that plays like Super Smash Brothers, with customizable robots.
 
Rock of Ages is there too
 
Jin
@Sterno I like the concept of the game.. but it just seems very unpolished right now. but again, it's only in Alpha
 
5:51 PM
That would be your indie
 
@tiddy That game has an awesome idea, but mediocre execution.
 
@murgatroid99 I'd be playing her and Judas if I didn't want to win with Eve at least once before Everything is Terrible
 
Rock of Ages should be one of the funnest games ever.
...But it just isn't.
 
@QAdp why before Everything is Terrible? That's actually useful
 
user30
Right, I'm giving Binding of Isaac another go as bp keeps going on about it.
 
5:52 PM
@murgatroid99 Everything is Terrible is useful?
 
13
A: The Binding of Isaac just got harder, but how?

murgatroid99According to comments on the wiki, "Everything is Terrible" makes alternate colored monsters and bosses more common.

 
@ThomasMcDonald Do you actually know how the game is?
 
@IanPugsley Nah, you can have mine.
 
@murgatroid99 Doesn't it also drop the number of heart drops by bosses by one?
 
user30
Not particularly.
 
user30
I had no idea what I was doing
 
Oh, I thought you were about to buy it
 
@OrigamiRobot If you're serious, I'll definitely take it - one for work and one for home. :)
 
I suggest watching a let's play before you go again, it was... helpful for me. At least motivationally
 
user30
Yeah, I've already got it.
 
5:54 PM
Also - Maggie. Yum heart. Yes.
 
@QAdp I don't know. But the alt colored (champion) characters are useful because they are guaranteed to drop items and they are often not harder to kill
 
Just get some damage upgrades, perhaps a deal with the devil and you'll be golden
 
@IanPugsley I don't need no mousepad. I do appreciate @Jin's effort, though.
 
@QAdp With the D6, Isaac becomes awesome because you can reroll every item to a powerup instead of having to leave behind activated items
 
All you need in The Binding of Isaac is tear upgrades and you're good.
 
5:55 PM
@murgatroid99 Yeah, but... end 10 is long ways ahead still :)
 
user30
I'll take a room owners mousemat, yo.
 
@QAdp I only don't play as Isaac recently because I have finished all of the Isaac objectives I can
 
Jin
@OrigamiRobot you'll get shirts/stickers too.
 
@Jin yeaHHHHH stickers
also PENNNNN
 
Jin
@agent86 and a potatooo
 
5:56 PM
YOU HEAR THAT @JUAN?? I'M GETTING A PEN!
 
Fistula + Game Kid = full health pill
@ThomasMcDonald Yeah, the second most important thing you want to do is look at the list of what unlocks what. Most of the helpful items start locked
 
Mar 14 at 21:35, by Juan Manuel
We should start a club... only pen owners can get in
 
That also gives you a sense of progression even in games you don't win in
 
@QAdp I dunno, the fetus thing is pretty good.
 
@GnomeSlicE that's end 5 right?
 
5:59 PM
What about mah moose padios
 
@QAdp Huh? I don't think I ever actually beat the game, I only played it a handful of times.
 
TBQH, that pen isn't great. Mine exploded.
 
The thing that floats besides you and shoots for you.
 
Oh. There's plenty like that
I was thinking of another item
 
@GnomeSlicE there are quite a few familiars that shoot
