12:04 AM
Welp. Surprise day off tomorrow. I'd be more annoyed if it weren't the day of a TSW content update, but since it is... hooray!
 
12:14 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Niiice :)
 
@James @BenBrock @EBongo I just got two Olympus dragons in a row (Bronze and Silver) by breeding Earth/Sonic.
 
@Fluttershy You suck
I am still tentatively trying for a treasure dragon
 
@James Aw... =( I was telling you so you would know what a highly successful pairing was...
Treasure dragons are here to stay. Olympus are limited.
 
@Fluttershy Oh, They are?? I never saw they were permanent anywhere
 
@James Yep. Gold Dragons are a permanent addition according to the Wikia. =D
 
12:20 AM
@Fluttershy Nice, well I still have an empty habitat I would like to fill :D
I have been running quite a few races, 36m is still my highest winning prize though :/
 
@James 4.8m is my highest....
 
@Fluttershy I shall gain upon thee then and my neglect of my park will become less apparent :D
 
lol
 
grrr. Why does it have to take so long for packages to clear customs?
 
Yay! It's my birthday! :D
 
12:31 AM
@John Happy Womb Emancipation day!
 
@Fluttershy Thank you! :D
 
user15026
@John Happy birthday! cupcakes
 
FAE
@John Happy birthday!
 
@John Congratulations! You didn't die.
 
@AshleyNunn Thank you! :D takes cupcakes; stores until the ice cream wears off
@FAE Thank you! :D
@OrigamiRobot Thanks! I'm so proud of myself for that :)
 
12:34 AM
@John You have escaped me for another year.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot ....that sounds a little alarming.
 
@John Happy Birthday!

A: How long do corpses remain?

David BI slapped on my Boots of the Bay and nuked some bloodsail pirates. By using mana shield (expires after 1 minute) as a timer, I observed the following: looted immediately, despawned after 3rd cast (2 minutes) looted after 1 minute, despawned after 4rd cast (3 minutes - 2 minutes after looting) ...

 
@spugsley Thanks! :D
 
12:37 AM
This is what I'm talking about!
Finally, an answer I can accept and not feel empty inside after doing it.
@John Ooh, happy birthday :D
 
@Koviko Thanks! :D

Q: What's the most efficient/an efficient AP Farming route at endgame?

LessPop_MoreFizzI've finished the primary plot quest. Not only that, but I've finished the quest achievements for every zone, so while I may have missed a simple breadcrumb sidequest somewhere along the line, I'm pretty sure I've completed 'every' quest in the game to date. At this point, my primary objective i...

 
@Fluttershy flutershy pls
 
12:45 AM
@spugsley
 
@Fluttershy It's funny because you're going to die a horrible death
 
user15026
@Fluttershy This is terrible. :P
 
@AshleyNunn By my count, it's 3 stars worth of terrible.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy That is quite terrible.
 
@Fluttershy You got me at "krechur - dok"
 
12:50 AM
@StrixVaria Don't let him take credit for it!
 
@spugsley You two already live fairly close. :P And now everyone knows where they are! :P
 
@fbueckert I don't live anywhere near @spugsley. O_o
 
@Fluttershy Compared to Canada, you guys are positively neighbors
 
1:03 AM
@Koviko Why aren't all the lowercase s replaced with $
 
@OrigamiRobot On that note, why isn't the second "o" in "choose" replaced with a "g"?
 
D- Try harder next time

Q: At which wildernes level am I unable to teleport

GigalaI heard you cant use teleports after a certain wildernes level and i would like to know after which one that happens. And is that level different for various teleport options ?

Q: How can I access the League of Legends beta server

GigalaI saw on some youtube videos people playing champions before they were realeased. How can I do that, too?

 
You should have made the flavor text for this:
shoop da




woop.
 
1:19 AM
@Fluttershy I'm going to have to agree with @fbueckert. According to Google Maps, it would take you a mere 10.5 hours to get to Charlotte, NC. Me, it would take 6 hours on a plane (including a layover in Toronto) to get me to Winnipeg. You've got it easy :P
 
@MBraedley That's because you live on a giant stupid peninsula.
 
@StrixVaria Actually, the NS roads are the easy part. I can average well over 100km/h. It's everything beyond Fredericton (or through Maine) that's the problem.
 
I guess Maine does kind of get in the way.
 
Hmm, finished Dawning of an Endless Night. Was I supposed to take the gift? >.<
 
@Shinrai Why does this sound so familiar?
 
1:29 AM
@StrixVaria TSW
 
Oh ok.
I really wish I can get back to that game someday.
 
user15026
Yeeeeah, as it looks now, no one is really near me location wise :P
 
@StrixVaria Screw TSW! Guild Wars 2 releases in a month, and it's no monthly fee!
 
@Fluttershy Yeah, but there's that small factor of it's-not-nearly-as-good
(Disclaimer: I hate PvP)
 
@Shinrai Which is solved by the "It's better" factor! =D
 
1:39 AM
You can keep it, thanks :)
 
@Shinrai You can do pure PvE. At least I think you can. Haven't really been keeping up with GW2
 
@MBraedley Yeah but the PvE seems really lackluster. Also I still don't care for the setting or mythos. It's really just not for me.
 
FAE
@MBraedley Yes. Hell, you can level up to 80 just by crafting should you wish to do so.
 
I'm sure somebody out there will love it, and I'm very happy for them
But it shan't be me

Q: Can I put this rifle in my backpack?

FluttershyIn DayZ, I've run into a problem. That problem is finding more weapons than I know what to do with. Luckily, I also managed to find a nice 24-slot backpack! I know I can put bandages and various other supplies in said backpack, but that doesn't help me carry more weapons, as my arms are in short...

 
Just read this: massively.joystiq.com/2012/07/27/…. So, anyone wants to plan out what to try in TSW for the weekend?
 
Yeah, everybody who hasn't yet should give it a shot! 4srsly
 
Err I plan to; but I'm looking for subjective advice from you vets on what to try
or I could just go Templar seeing as nobody here seems to have tried that
 
Faction doesn't really matter much, sooo
 
Found out about the PoE open beta last weekend way too late; I got to play 4 hrs yest. :(
 
1:47 AM
@Alok Next weekend as in the 4th and 5th? That's Natal Day weekend, as well as my nephew's baptism. No way am I spending that time inside
 
@MBraedley Did you want to try TSW though? I will only be playing it for atleast 2-4 hrs to try it out, not sure if I want to focus on that for 2 days and ignore other games
 
actually, hadn't heard of it before now
 
God, I'm so in love with it
Such a good game. :) The fact that you only ever need the one character is icing on the cake for me
 
@MBraedley I've only heard of it; but several people have been raving about it in chat not just @Shinrai
 
The Darth Knight Rises
 
1:51 AM
I've been off-chat for a couple days, so forgive me if you guys have seen this...
 
Hey, anyone else noticed significantly more lag since the latest update of Nuclear Dawn?
 
<sigh> damn my east coastedness. Off to bed.
 
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Q: What determines your chance to Flinch

user30194When playing (most often as melee) you'll often come across situations where when attacked your character will go through a "hit" animation, and cry out. When you do this all your attacks (normal or special) are interrupted for a short time, however if you are surrounded by enemies, as you often...

 
@Fluttershy This...sounds strangely familiar...

Q: Linking steam games on windows to steam on ubuntu 12.04

An Ubuntu UserI have a dual boot system consisting of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. Using the wine package on Ubuntu Software Centre, I installed Steam. Using the following command gives me an error cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/ mv steamapps steamapps.bak ln -s /Program\ Files/Steam/steamapps steamap...

 
@UQAllulloo Heh, yeah, just Googled and found that. Google is my friend, too, apparently. >.>
 
@John I actually just had that in my history.
Because I just heard it last week.
 
@UQAllulloo Small internet :P

Q: How can I get +5 to Science in Mothership Zeta?

Biff MaGriffI am currently just before the Spacewalk part of Mothship Zeta and about 2k short of leveling up. I have 10 intelligence and 70 Science. I need 75 science to hack Underwood's Safe and get the MPLX novasurge. Is there any way I can buff my science by 5 points? I'm on PS3 so I can't use the conso...

 
I really need to sleep... But I don't want to... =\
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Yeah, I know that feeling.
 
user15026
But sleep is good for you :)
 
@AshleyNunn I know. But I miss out on stuff when I'm asleep. Sleeping feels like such a waste of time...
 
user15026
@Fluttershy This. I hate sleeping. I feel like I could do so much more if I didnt have to sleep.
 
2:53 AM
I was just looking at that internet map thing and I noticed something disturbing: lemonparty (don't look at it) is very close to SO. Closer than to any other not-tiny site
 
@murgatroid99 ...er..... I don't even want to know why that would be.
 
@GnomeSlice I would just be surprised if there are any links between the sites in either direction
 
@murgatroid99 spammers?
Our links are no-follow for most users though, right?
 
@UQAllulloo but don't they get no-follow? and don't we delete the links?
 
@murgatroid99 Yeah...I guess just audience overlap or something...
 
2:58 AM
@UQAllulloo that would be weird
 
@murgatroid99 I don't know!
I don't contribute to that at least. =/
 
@UQAllulloo probably just a fluke. Linked from a site that also links to SO, or something
 
@GnomeSlice That bassline thing kind of blends into itself too much and it's too dissonant from the staccato higher pitched thing in the first half. The parts just aren't coherent with each other. I can't really tell pitches by ear but it sounds like things may not even be in the same key as each other.
 
3:07 AM
@StrixVaria They're in the same key, but the bass line is way too dynamic.
 
That being said, it's like crazy better than anything I could write.
@GnomeSlice Yeah the bassline has to be really simple so you can do other stuff over top of it.
 
It's plenty simple, it's just the wave modulation thing I did is too pronounced.
 
I also just don't like the sound of that patch (or whatever the word is for "instrument" in electronica) that you're using for the bassline, but that's just preference.
 
@StrixVaria Bleh, I spent like 2 hours fiddling with the synth myself to create that custom preset
Not entirely happy with it but.... eh, I'm still not really sure how synths work.
 
3:14 AM
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I'm absolutely terrible at composing music. I've taken piano lessons for ~15 years and played some pretty crazy stuff, but tell me to make something up and I can't even pretend I know what I'm doing.
 
@StrixVaria Me too. I took piano lessons for like 7 years as a child.
All I still have out of it is that I know which key is which on a keyboard.
 
@GnomeSlice Oh I know a ton of music theory from it and I can read sheet music like a beast.
I'm kind of tone deaf, though, which is weird.
I can't always reliably tell whether a note is higher or lower than another.
 
I could never sightread anything. I had to memorize the piece and then stare at my hands while I played.
I was a really shitty pianist.
 
lololo

Q: Are there any alternatives to Tekkit that offer similar features?

SolignisHi there I wondering if anyone knows of any alternatives to the Tekkit pack for Minecraft. I have been using Tekkit for a little while now and I am having small issues with it as the move forward. Mainly issues with mods not working and not being able to find some kind of documentation on the con...

 
user15026
I can sightread piano if I go very slowly, and I have the ear for it apparently but I don't practice enough because I dont like the repetition. But I cant make anything original to save my life.
 
There are a few Beethoven Sonatas I just sat down and was like "meh I'm playing this one today" and did it pretty passably without ever having played it before.
It helped that I knew how it went, though.
I cannot play anything by ear. If I don't have sheet music, I will never be able to play it.
 
I have a very musical ear. But I can't perform shit.
All of my music instructors have basically said I'm one of the most musical students they've ever had, but I still can't play anything.
 
@GnomeSlice Those who can't do, teach.
 
@GnomeSlice I had the same teacher for the first ~13 years of my ~15 years, and when I went to the second teacher he was astonished at my good technique. I guess the first teacher was pretty good.
 
3:18 AM
@OrigamiRobot You haven't seen me try to teach anything, then.
 
I really need to start playing again.
Stupid full time job makes me not have enough time to do all the other stuff I want to do.
 
I find all instruments discouraging
 
@OrigamiRobot Me too.
I have an electronic drum kit I haven't played in months.
 
I've never had an instructor so I wouldn't even know if I was doing it right and I can't tell if I'm making progress.
I can play a few nursery rhymes on guitar, but that's it.
 
My problem is that I'm terribly unmotivated.
 
3:23 AM
The lack of perceived progress leads to that, yes.
 
@OrigamiRobot I can barely even hold a guitar. My wrist starts hurting almost immediately.
It's such an awkward instrument.
I don't know how people can do anything useful on that thing.
 
@StrixVaria This, I've tried guitar maybe twice for a few minutes. Wtf.
 
I hate holding acoustic guitars. They are giant and unwieldy.
 
Not to mention it's really hard to play with Tourettes.
 
I was given a cheap little electric. It's pretty comfortable
I play a mean bass on Rock Band, but that isn't saying much.
 
3:25 AM
Rock Band is also very hard to play with Tourette's.
 
Alright ladies and gentlemens... I'm going to bed. G'night.
 
@StrixVaria By the way, did you ever listen to any of the stuff I did for @Raven's game?
 
@GnomeSlice I think I have, although I can't remember specific details about it right now.
And I don't have time to listen again now either :/
I have to go to sleep.
 
lol
 
 
3 hours later…
6:07 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Don't listen to the vioces! You will start eating cookies! :P You said in your other question (fastest AP route) that you grind lairs/subzones for gear. Do you know what the fastest gear farm route is or would that be worthy of another question?
 
@PatrickStalder what exactly are you after?
When I say 'farm gear' what I really mean is farm signets and glyphs.
and really, they're all the same in that regard. pick the one with mobs suited to your build.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh I should start reading. No I mean gear (ql10 epix). Because the PvP grind seems rather dull after some time. How do you mean "suited to your build"? Do they drop the same all the time?
 
@PatrickStalder for ql10 epix, if you don't want to do pvp, you do nightmare modes.
By suited to your build I mean that the elite subzones, most of the mobs are weak too/strong against some subset of abilities and debuffs.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Okay, do the nightmares have "cooldown/id" of some sort?
 
If you run a build that's afflict heavy, don't farm the mobs that have poison you whenever you afflict them.
If you use Impairs, don't farm the mobs that silence you when you impair them
 
6:13 AM
Yes I see.
 
if you use weakens, do farm the mobs that take double damage after getting 5 stacks of weaken on them
@PatrickStalder You can run each nightmare mode dungeon once/day
 
Well I'm not yet progressed so far to encounter these mobs.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh wow. That's a lot to grind then.
 
you also need to unlock nightmare modes by clearing all 8 elite dungeons at least once and then defeating The Gatekeeper.
@PatrickStalder There's only 5 of them.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Now you are confusing me. There are 8 Elite dungeons and 5 nightmare, so they are not the same dungeon with just higher difficulty?
 
6:27 AM
But thank you anyways for clarifying. :)
 
@PatrickStalder Okay, so it works like this:
there are 8 dungeons in the game.
Polaris, Darkness War, Ankh, Facility, Slaughterhouse, and the three Hell instances.
the ones that are pre-Transylvania (Polaris, Darkness War, Ankh, and the first two hell instances), have an Elite Mode, which is tuned for QL 9-10 players and drops QL10 blues.
The Transylvania instances are only availiable on Elite difficulty, there is no 'normal'. They are also tuned for ql9-10 and drop ql 10 blues.
Once you've completed all 8 on Elite difficulty, you unlock the Gatekeeper quest. Defeat the Gatekeeper, and you can run Nightmare modes, which are a substantially harder difficulty, with a daily lockout.
There are, at present, only 5 nightmare mode dungeons, however, as of tomorrow, I believe they're adding one or two more in the 1.1 update.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Thanks a lot. Now I know what to do with my precious free time.
How far have you progressed in nightmares?
 
6:44 AM
@PatrickStalder I haven't. I have one or two more elites to get through.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do you have a group to go with or do you go with PUGs?
 
@PatrickStalder I have a cabal that I can pull from, but I pugged some elites earlier this evening.
tanked a Facility and a Hell Fallen elite.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Cool. I need about 1 more week to get my heal-gear and skills going but after this time give me a "call" when you need a healer. :)
 
I need about ~30 more AP and a good Assault Rifle to have a nightmare ready DPS deck in place.
 
I probably need 200-300 AP for my heal skills. But my DPS deck is already in place. Just no gear, had to switch to healer.

Q: Which speed hacks do I need to use to get Speedhax?

LessPop_MoreFizzThere's an achievement called Speedhax that requires that you run across the Dacian Span in under 30 seconds. Using the max rank of Sprint, I clocked myself at about 45 seconds to cross the span. What abilities or items do I need to achieve a 33% increase in my time across the bridge?

@FAE: A somewhat old, but really well done video on leveling on Guild Wars 2
 
12:17 PM
good afternoon people
 
@Blem IT's morning, not afternoon. You're silly.
Today's Listening:
@FAE will probably like that.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn I approve.
 
@FAE Your mom approves. Burn.
Also, I've decided: Necromancer and Guardian.
 
FAE
@Wipqozn I'll wait to hear your decision again next week when you inevitably change your mind.
 
@FAE I've fixed the permissions in mumble.
 
FAE
12:25 PM
@RonanForman Yay! I am now registered.
 
I'm normally not a fan of melee in mmo, but that's because in MMOs it's normally just stand there. swing sword. be healed. But melee in GW2 is actually -really- good. You need to move, dodge, et cetera... you know, actually think about what you're doing. So I'd like to have a melee and ranged character, plus the guardian is a -lot- of fun and I'd love to do the support/healing/control it offers.
 
Check if you can enter the lounge,
 
@FAE nah, I'm sure I'll change my mind again before then.
 
FAE
@RonanForman Apparently yes. Also I don't have my headset plugged in atm.
@Wipqozn Well all chars can do melee/ranged stuff.
Dagger Necs are pretty good.
 
@FAE Really? huh, didn't know that.
Didn't pay much attention to dagger necs.
Either way, I'm leaning towards guardian and necromancer right now.
 
FAE
12:27 PM
@Wipqozn Daggers are the best DPS weapon for Necs iirc.
 
@FAE You should now be able to make rooms, kick, mute, move and register people.
 
@FAE Well snap. Didn't know that. Makes sense though, more risk and what not.
My necro build will be based around conditions, with a heavy focus on wells.
 
FAE
@RonanForman Woo! Also it seems like you have to rightclick on a room name before you can send text to it now, which is kind of unintuitive and confusing. Is there anywhere to change that?
 
At least the build I have in mind and would like to play now.
I'm sure I'll wind up changing it once I play..
along with my class..
100 times...
 
@FAE Have you hidden you text pane?
 
FAE
12:29 PM
@RonanForman Nay. Others have noticed this as well.
 
didn't feel like my abilities had a real impact in pvp in GW2, felt mostly like a zerg fest, and when finally had some one on one it was a question of who got back up first
 
@FAE I don't have that issue, are you in minimal mode?
 
FAE
@RonanForman The send text option will be greyed out unless you rightclick on a room first.
Also no.
 
No one can talk in root, that might be the problem.
 
FAE
We were sitting in DayZ at the time.
 
12:31 PM
@FAE Screenshot?
 
FAE
@RonanForman Can't anymore, I'd already rightclicked them all to unlock them. :/
 
That is strange.
 
FAE
Yeah.
 
I just made a new room.
 
FAE
@RonanForman Not grey for me now. Maybe because I've been admined? I dunno. O.o
@RonanForman But yeah, the greyed outness when you look at the text entry in Root is exactly what you get in the other rooms unless you rightclick.
 
12:43 PM
Also, hot dog epidemic is a nice skill. A range of 1200, and it transfers every condition on the target to nearby targets as well? Yes please!
