@murgatroid99 Now we just need Minecraft 1.10 to come out before 1.9, or something

StrixVaria

Microsoft is going to release version 4 of Minecraft as their first order of business.

Numbers are meaningless. Just pick ones that look pretty.

Unionhawk

Actually, we already have Minecraft 2

Frank

@StrixVaria Nah, it's going to be Minecraft 3.11.

Unionhawk

Nah, it's going to be <insert arbitrary number because it's important that people know my statement is the most correct>

StrixVaria

They'll call it Minecraft 7 after the success of Windows 7. 7 is a good number.

Frank

Q: Can't aim when I try

I'm hoping I'm not the only person with this problem. Whenever I'm not paying full attention to my aim and what is going on my aim improves. I have tried listing to music while I play but that just get in the way of comms. More Info: I play soldier in ugc 4s steel and I'm looking to move up ...

Frank

@Sterno That's silly.

That actually makes sense.

SaintWacko

They'll probably just go with the current naming trend and call it "Minecraft"

Rapitor

7:15 PM

Unionhawk

They'll probably, yeah, no, I can't continue this "let's speculate on how Microsoft will ruin everything"

Is the windows keynote still happening?

Rapitor

@Batophobia don't think so.

EA talks about their shortcomings

GnomeSlice

bundlestars.com/all-bundles/breakthrough-bundle

Rapitor

As bad as EA has been. They've been doing really good with Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare... every single update and DLC has been completely free and its still being supported (new dlc out today) well into the game's life.

Powerlord

@Rapitor ...last I checked, the game wasn't even a year old, so what do you mean "well into the game's life" ?

badp

Man, this Windows 10 thing... I don't feel for it. It's like there is no... connection with this product of theirs.

Koviko

7:42 PM

Batophobia

boooooooo

Koviko

Are we still flagging bad jokes?

Rapitor

@Powerlord its coming up on a year, and that's pretty old considering it was a side project/april fools joke that became a real thing. I doubt they expected it to get the success it got.

Powerlord

Besides which, for companies not named Activision, FPS games tend to be fairly well supported for long periods.

Stupid 33 GB download

Or more

3 days if I keep my computer open and running in academic buildings

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk I'm just sitting here confused and then I remember, oh jeah! American internet

Unionhawk

but at home it'll be a terrible 4 GB per day

@KevinvanderVelden Even worse: the university puts a soft cap on bandwidth per user on residential networks.

So you get roughly 4 GB per day before everything is terrible.

Frank

Welp, one more reason to punt our contractors out the door and never let them come back.

Looks like they never got around to finishing a feature on a website of ours. It's started, and in production, but doesn't actually work.

And nothing in the codebase shows any attempt was made to get it working.

Hey, look. More reason to hate Apple today

GnomeSlice

Hey, clicker heroes has autoadvance now.

James

@AshleyNunn Well then I give you permission to have a nice cup of hot chocolate.

@GnomeSlice You had to ascend once

GnomeSlice

@James I haven't ascended.

James

Just like you have to ascend 2-3 times to get the 'auto skill up' button

Oh.. It showed up for me after I ascended.

But that button @Chippies mentioned does take an ascension or two.. even if it is broken and should not be clicked.

Frank

@James Auto skill up?

I have a "progression mode" button that works well, but no auto skill up.

James

8:36 PM

Anywho, careful with the auto-ascend button as it will have you sitting on a boss you cant get past

@Frank Let me go look up its actual name

user15026

@James I have coconut chai rooibos tea instead, but that works :D

Frank

@James If you're talking about the progression mode button, it actually dumps you back to your previous floor if you can't beat the boss.

So it's perfect for smashing and leaving.

GnomeSlice

@GnomeSlice wat

James

@Frank - Added button to purchase all affordable hero upgrades on bottom of your hero list. Visible after you've ascended at least twice.

That is in the 0.13 change log

Had to load up another instance of the game to get that info though

Change logs for this game seem hard to come by

@GnomeSlice Is that supposed to be glitched out?

Frank

@James Okay, don't have that.

@GnomeSlice The hardest part is gathering the set of images. But I'm not going to invest the time

Batophobia

Is there a maximum number of coins that can be on the ground in Clicker Heroes?

Ktash

It is a cool idea though

murgatroid99

@Batophobia If you're moving the mouse, then by the time the image displays it's wrong. So they make you stop moving by "loading"

Frank

Frank

@badp @Chippies Does gilding bonus DPS add to Hero Soul DPS, or is it multiplicative.

badp

10:37 PM

@Frank The latter

Frank

So instead of 200% DPS, I get 225%?

badp

1 hero soul + 1 gild = 1.5 * 1.1 = 65% extra damage

Frank

With one gilding and 5 Hero Souls.

badp

then 1.5 * 1.5

or 125% bonus

Frank

Alright. That makes DPS a little...insane.

James

10:44 PM

@badp since you are around and clickeris being talked about.. I saw you can pay a hero soul to Unguild a hero and have it randomly gild a new one.. is this worth while??? I think I got Athena as my third gilding now.. (its guaranteed to not regild the one you just downgraded but only in the next gilding selection)

Frank

I wish there was a way to see how many review items I've skipped.

badp

@James wasn't it 2 hero souls?

@Frank You do need it

James

@badp whatever the cost the other part of the question is more important :)

@badp How many ascensions is that now?

that's 122,400%

@Frank Third world, 55 souls

Now I have 88

Frank

@badp How many did you have on your first ascension!?

@badp It seems worth it to me... Hero Souls are a renewable resource afterall, gilding isnt?

badp

@James You get a gilded hero every time you beat a xx0 zone for the first time

@badp That's alot of gildings, after zone 100, then.

You should have something like eight or nine gilds from your first world.

@LessPop_MoreFizz but bats are delicious...

@badp Yeah that is what i see as well

But I think when you ungild one it will just randomly pick another when you finish a battle. Its pretty much a re-roll from what I saw.. I do not have the souls to try it yet
