@QAzer No, that's okay, I didn't want you to redo the entire model, I just wanted you to fix my uvw map, since that's what you offered...

@Jin I actually have two swag boxes from SE that are unopened. Keeping them mint in box: breaking the seal loses 90% of the value! Also, laziness. Tremendous laziness.
Is there any handy reference as to what is the range of DPS and armor for items of a particular level? A lot of time I would get, say a crossbow that does 300 DPS for item level 55, but I have no idea how good that is whe
@Jin Haha. Yeah. I'm more of a lurker on Reddit than a poster. That's great that they're so generous to new players. My old corp was pretty similar except we were more of a high sec/wormhole corp.
Well, that and we didn't have the same level of exposure as Dreddit
@Jin I hope you're at least having fun out there, though. The big null alliance experience is one of the few aspects of the game that I haven't sampled yet.
@RESPAWN to be honest, i was extremely bored the first 2 days after i joined Dreddit. being in nullsec pretty much cut down on PVE content by like 80%.
I'm interested in knowing whether peaceful mobs spawn in the same location every time in Minecraft for a given map seed. When I was playing on the "Glacier" seed on a singleplayer world, I found a pack of wolves that spawned inside a cave where I could tame them easily. Will they spawn like this ...
I recently equipped a helm that increased my monk's crippling wave damage by 10%. The displayed DPS did not change nor did it change when i swap out crippling wave for a different skill. Is this a known issue? Is there another way to determine the DPS when using an item that increases skill bas...
@Jin That's a good choice. The drake is a great ship for the new player. While it doesn't do amazing DPS, it has an incredibly good tank for a T1 battle cruiser which gives it staying power on the field.
Plus, FC's are less likely to primary a Drake because of its tank.
Either way, you certainly joined up at an interesting time with the whole of CFC going after Delve
I'm just personally not much of a fan of the culture of the CFC.
@Jin Ooh yeah. I started Gallente, and the Myrm is still one of my favorite ships. But, drone boats are definitely a little more complex to PVP in.
@MadScientist This. The Drake and the Prophecy are probably two of the best ships to fly if you don't want to be primaried simply because they both have such good tanks.
Drone skills are also annoying, you pretty much need Drone Interfacing to be effective (20% bonus per level is huge) and it's a damn expensive skill for a new player
@Jin That's not a bad place to be for a newish character. Especially if you're training for a Drake. Eventually if you want to fly the Myrm you'll want to train up for medium and heavy drones, but you'll only be using light drones in a Drake.
Dammit. Now I'm wanting to build a new Myrmidon. Especially since I haven't played around with fits since the introduction of the Drone Damage Amplifier.
I just built a nano Drake for a roam last weekend. Yeah, it doesn't have much of a tank, but I'm loving the increased maneuverability and the ability to kite enemies.
@Jin Very nice! Although, with my drone skills, I'd bet I could get another 50 - 100 dps if I replaced one or two of the mag stabs with the Drone Damage Amp II.
I'll have to try this fit when I get home and get access to EFT.
The new rule with drone boats seems to be that if you've got 3 weapon damage mods, swap at least one of them out for the Drone Damage Mod for even more DPS.
@agent86 True. Answer is usually, "check meta". But for events that aren't on meta yet, I don't want to start a meta question just to go, "When do I get mah lootz!?"
Wizards on Diablo-3 have this great skill where you clone yourself, but I didn't found if they could deals crit hits as I can.
Do thoses closes have this kind of ability?
They get benefits from my crit chance?
They do crit hits when I do?
@fbueckert I'm just giving you a hard time, btw. that and trying to keep your expectations abysmally low so that the site's guaranteed to exceed them :D
@agent86 It's kind of like being a Cubs fan. My expectations are always so low that it's next to impossible for the Cubs not to exceed my expectations.
@Jin @fbueckert This may be a very ignorant question, but if you're designing something to fight off an alien invasion, why make it look like a person at all? Couldn't there be more efficient fighting spaceship designs?
Mind you, I've seen maybe one or two episodes of Gundam
@RESPAWN I had a similar experience when trying to ask questions about Futurama for the SF&F contest that was/is going on. Pretty much everything in that show can be explained with "cause we said so" - very tongue in cheek kind of show.
What can be the reason behind a 35GB game ?
As I believe Windows 7 has much more programming that Max Payne 3 game but still Windows 7 is much smaller ! So what does it contain that makes it such big ?
so how much of a conniption do you think everyone would have if we had a LoL contest that was larger than previous ones, but not quite as big as Diablo 3?
@Jin Have you tried the 1/144 Real Grade models? I have a RX-78-2 and the details on it are amazing. Comes with the Gundam Hammer, too. They are a bargain for $25-30~
In the Secret World, I am aware of clothes shops in game but is there a hairdresser/barber shop style building where I can change my hair colour/style or any other place that allows me to change the appearance of my character?
If I'm playing as Popo (ice climbers), any hits on Nana will not affect my percentage. Does that mean that Nana has her own percentage score? If she does, is there a way to tell what it is?
@Lauren yeah, I'm here. I was mostly just alerting you because I know when we first discovered it was going on, there was a lot of groans among the bridge crew :)
@Lauren What @fbueckert said and yes, because they're looking for a forum. You've thrown "contest" out there and they assume that our site is going to function like a forum for the purposes of that contest. Given what happened last contest, I have my doubts that this will fare any better.
@Lauren And one of the big issues is that we don't have enough active LoL players among the mods or high rep users who can help manage the influx and sort the wheat from the chaff.
I keep trying to find an eloquent way to try to quantify what people seem to be thinking. Seeing as I can't, let's just say that the average LoL player seems to be less able to handle themselves in a mature manner, and more willing to spam the site with crap just to achieve contest entries.
At least, that seems to be my own impression based up on the past LoL contest and my personal experiences with trying to play and then giving up on LoL
But, I think @MadScientist had a good point. Did we gain a lot of new users or did we see an appreciable increase in website traffic from the last contest?
we could also try to change contest format in order to have it be more self-moderating. e.g., award prizes for earning certain badges instead of just sheer # of questions
@RESPAWN yes, we saw a big spike in traffic during the tournament weekends
We just could not handle the massive influx of... bad bad questions at once. Every time they took a break and announced the website, Lazers would spew out a horrendous number of horrible questions that we wouldn't have enough time to moderate/sort through before the next break.
@Lauren Yeah. I was wondering about that. I mean, you could probably track new accounts and subsequent activity therein, but there's no good way to track the "lurkers".
Those that simply read the answers but don't contribute.
I want to play Blitzcrank in a support role. Should I start out with a Philosopher's Stone like other supports, or should I get a Tear of the Goddess for the mana to start off? What are other core items that would make Blitzcrank a viable support, and why?
@Lauren I think something like this may help. Anything that incentivizes quality over quantity will... hopefully be good. I'm honestly very nervous about it though, I really am.
If the last contest was any indication, they don't really care about question quality, either. Perhaps a badge for editing another user's question or answer into legibility?
When dealing cold damage to an enemy, what all does it slow down? I know it obviously slows down an enemies movement speed, but does it affect casting time? Or does it slow down their attacks also?
@fbueckert That is honestly why I stick to playing bot games. Used to have a great group of people to play with but we all got busy and went our separate ways.. if I play now I play against bots.
during the entire contest period last time, we got about 150k views from league of legends questions, versus about 1 million views overall (so around 15% of site traffic was LoL related)
@Lauren I'm all for League of Legends questions on the site. The problem is that the askers during the last ggChronicle seemed to refuse to read the FAQ.
@agent86 I do not think you can really compare against Diablo 3 though... Or Skyrim or ME3... Those games are not really in the same league.. I mean how many of us bought D3 simply cause it was from blizzard and we were waiting for it?
@Lauren / @James my point with the stats was more "is it worth expending the effort to encourage and moderate the torrent of poor quality content for the views we get?" and it didn't really seem that way to me.
@Lauren Any thought on highlighting indie games? I am not sure if most of them get to the depth that would make them huge draws though I guess.. so there is a thought not in the 'not great choice' direction :)
Also, it seems a large portion of the ggChronicle users were a one-off. "Oh, I can win something? Cool!" followed closely by "Oh, I didn't win. Never going to that site again."
It's hard to describe the amount of hostility inherent in this community. They are extremely unfriendly to new people. They WILL demonize and insult new players who are naive enough to admit they are new.
I guess I'm also not sure why we're targeting LoL if we're trying to encourage site participation among gamers who aren't playing the latest and greatest game. is there something in particular that makes this game superior?
