kingdoms-amalur-reckoning

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn I read this article on Massively the other day and realized that I relate a lot to it.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Oh, yeah - that describes an interesting part of my relationship to MMO's and things of that ilk.

user15026

I like the stories, but I don't want to spend time futzing with armour levels or raid groups or whatever I just want to play some stuff.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn I think my difficulties stem from the fact I'm not consistent with this. In some things, I do want that challenge and strive to wring the most of the system, but in others I don't. I occasionally have min-maxing tendencies, but I also have this thing where I really like alternative "win" conditions.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Alternative win conditions?

user15026

16:09

Most games, I am content to play through the story and be done. I am probably one of the few people who get frustrated with a "new game +" mode or special levels (I am looking at you, Super Mario 3D Land.....) that are just harder or whatnot.

GnomeSlice

Okay. I'm resolving not to buy any more games for at least two months.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn Like, I don't really enjoy takng a cookie-cutter build that's well-known for max DPS or something and just using it, but I do enjoy using off-kilter builds that others may think suck or just aren't as effective as the cookie cutter build and try to wring the most out it, min-max wise, just because I can.

Sterno

@GnomeSlice Easy way to do that... pre-order everything you want today, then don't buy anything new for 2 months! :P

GnomeSlice

@Sterno I just bought the pre-alpha of Miner wars for $20. I'm done. I can't afford to keep doing this.

x_x

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Right, that makes sense. Just doing something crazy/different because you can. :)

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Wagers on how long this lasts? I'm going to go for around 4 hours.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria I really can't afford to keep doing this.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice I don't expect this to fare well

Ian Pugsley

speaking of Alphas and such, Cobalt (the game Mojang is publishing) is very fun, and is about $13 or so right now

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice I told you this months ago. I totally did.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn Yeah. I'm not down on people who use FotM builds (Flavor of the Month) or anything, but it's just not where I derive the most fun and satisfaction from my gameplay.

StrixVaria

16:11

I just have to find a good dual stick shooter and link it in chat...

Grace Note

GnomeSlice

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, that makes sense to me.

FallenAngelEyes

I tend to be pretty sad when something can only be played one "right" way

GnomeSlice

16:11

Gah, I had about $60 in my paypal, and I was trying to decide if I wanted to buy an AfterEffects plugin for $45.

Well, so much for that.

I think I need help.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes I like having options. Especially because the usual "right" way often doesn't work with my style or logic. I am not good with MMOs. XD

badp

@GnomeSlice do you have a Trello account?

Ian Pugsley

@GnomeSlice how that job interview go - have you heard anything yet?

GnomeSlice

@badp I think I made one after you linked your last game-chart.

user15026

@badp I second this for game organization!

GnomeSlice

16:13

@IanPugsley Nothing, yet. =[

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn I have this problem in that I tend to really dislike repeating content, so stuff like endgame grinding often has little appeal for me in and of itself. The loot grind treadmill is not one that makes me super happy.

Ian Pugsley

@GnomeSlice did they say anything about when you might hear from them?

FallenAngelEyes

After reading that article, I'm trying to figure out where this leaves me as a gamer.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes eah, I just get bored. I want to keep doing new things - kill/fetch quests get old for me super fast.

Ian Pugsley

@GnomeSlice also have you written a thank you letter/email? It can be a good way to touch base again with them.

GnomeSlice

16:14

@IanPugsley I don't actually have contact information for them.

This was done through the college. They were looking for students in my program.

One of my professors approached us.

And nobody bothered to give me contact info.

I suppose I should have asked.

FallenAngelEyes

Like you, I often don't play New Game+, as it's just a repeat of the content. I'm not sure what to do. I'm wondering if I'm not getting the most of out of my games, but on the other hand, there's the part of me that just wants new experiences.

Ian Pugsley

@GnomeSlice for future reference this is a key step

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, that is me completely. Luckily, most of what I play (3DS/casual PC stuff, Nintendo stuff) lends well to that style and makes me happy, but I know that for people who play "real"er games or bigger name titles, it can be an issue

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn lol real games

user15026

@Wipqozn It is the easiest way to explain it, though - the things I like often are not considered "real" games. (I am looking at you, HOG and Match 3 stuff....)

Wipqozn

16:18

@AshleyNunn I know what you mean, I just have to laugh when people use that term

and rage

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah, it makes me kinda rage-y but I don't know how else to explain it. I lack vocabulary XD

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Quiet you!

YOU SAW NOTHING

sometimes games are only fun when they are new. other times, fun survives even when newness fades (points at tetris)

Seriously though...

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Anyone who calls those "not real games" has never played EBA's Jumpin Jack Flash on HARD ROCK!

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Amen to that!

FallenAngelEyes

I think part of it for me is that I tend to enjoy the challenge aspect of games more with friends. Accomplishing stuff as a team or in co-op is more fun for me than just solo.

Wipqozn

I often don't mind myself playing a lot of the mainstream games. I do play some of them (like Dark Souls and Skyrim), but more often than not I find a lot of them are just the same game (MANLY MEN WITH LOTS OF SHOOTING) with a lot of repetitive and shallow gameplay.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I should withhold comment.

FallenAngelEyes

16:21

Hence why I do enjoy PvP as a team, but 1v1 dueling is just meh to me.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote I dont know what this means

GnomeSlice

@badp I don't have it on this machine. What's up?

badp

Oh no worries, I found you

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Nothing negative, just... well, Fallen could explain why I would withhold commentary about highest difficulty levels.

GnomeSlice

I don't think it's going to go to Steam.

Oh, nevermind.

What did you need my Steam for?

FallenAngelEyes

@OrigamiRobot @Grace weighs the same as a duck.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote I simply meant the common argument of "no skill required" does not apply in that case.

Oh, right, you had commentary on a different question that was going to be dupe-closed as the wrong direction, righto.

agent86

@GraceNote I don't think I participated in that question

@GraceNote this sounds more likely. the SC/SC2 ITG, perhaps you're remembering?

Grace Note

@agent86 Well, I'm still electing you to take point and "strut your stuff" on the new Meta post. Because I can do that. ♪

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Were you the one who up voted that shopping rec question?

GnomeSlice

Thanks to whoever registered for MinerWars through my url.

badp

@GraceNote I had to fix another typo and see the revision history to understand what you said.

It's kinda sad really.

user15026

16:39

Shouldn't we avoid answering offtopic things like shopping recs? Doesn't having an answer encourage people to ask them, because it stands getting an answer before it gets closed?

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn yes

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn And we shouldn't be up voting them either...

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Deleted.

user15026

@Wipqozn That's what I thought. I just wanted to check - I tend to have trouble remembering the hows and whys of a lot of things.

badp

I dunno about answering in the answer area, but when I do close stuff but know a couple of helpful pointers, I'll typically mention them in the comment area

user15026

16:41

@badp That makes sense to me. Helpful pointers are definitely...well....helpful.

badp

Murdering askers and giving them good advice are not mutually exclusive. The rocket really is the way to go.

Grace Note

The main reason to avoid answering is expecting the "Well, I got help anyway" effect. Which is that people get away with (and thus may perhaps continue) asking off-topic stuff - sure it gets closed, but they still get to use us as a resource.

Wipqozn

@badp Yes, I don't mind that so much

but you shouldn't be posting an official answer. I just encourages them.

Grace Note

I'm personally okay with doing it in comments - it still technically applies, but more importantly, it's a lot less striking than posting as an actual answer.

user15026

@GraceNote Yeah, that was what I was trying to say, but I think you said it a lot more eloquently :)

Ian Pugsley

16:43

@GraceNote even better would be doing it in chat, and linking to the chat in the comments

driving them to ask in chat if they have something similar ever again

Grace Note

I've even answered and solved closed identification questions in comments.

GnomeSlice

I still don't like the way we deal with new users who ask questions unfit for the site.

user15026

Oh?

GnomeSlice

The common answer is 'when you have 20 rep, you can ask in chat'.

badp

*20

Wipqozn

16:45

@badp and so it is

GnomeSlice

But we downvote them to hell, ruining most chance that they'll actually stick around to get the rep back from the downvotes anyway.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Not always.

GnomeSlice

Usually.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice New users... don't really suffer reputation loss from downvotes

Wipqozn

This fellow is an exception since he clearly already knew shopping rec was not on-topic, but asked anyways.

that deserves a lot of down votes.

user15026

16:45

@GnomeSlice If they only have 1 rep....well, you can't go below that.

Grace Note

I don't deny though, that we can always be more welcoming by just being nice with comments.

badp

I would find it inappropriate to give a new user four upvotes just so he can join chat

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice They can't go negative, so if they didn't have rep beforehand, it doesn't really matter...

FallenAngelEyes

@badp Indeed.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote They do if they need 20 to enter chat. Not to mention the fact that the downvotes make them feel unwanted or whatever.

People aren't going to want to come back if people downvote the shit out of their first post, even if it's unfit for the site.

Wipqozn

16:46

I agree with you @GnomeSlice that some users are really harsh on new users. I usually try to avoid down voting questions / answers by new users, but in some cases (like this one) down votes are warranted.

Ronan Forman

Then what do you suggest?

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice If they get hammered before they even get an upvote, there's effectively 0 loss. That's what I'm noting, technically.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote It's not just about reps.

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice We're generally pretty liberal with upvotes here, though. If they give a decent answer or question, they'll reach that very easily.

user15026

@Ullallulloo This.

Wipqozn

16:47

I think you're all missing @gnomes main point

GnomeSlice

I wouldn't want to come back if my first post got downvoted into oblivion.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice It not being about the reputation is precisely why I want people to avoid upvoting these kind of things, in fact.

badp

Keep in mind that a closed question comes with a free downvote courtesy of Community.

Wipqozn

He's commenting on the negative stigma down votes bring

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice It's not his first post

user15026

16:48

@badp Downvotes are not supposed to be happy fun time, they are like "oh hey, this doesn't work here." Is that a good assumption to make? (As in, am I making the correct one?)

Wipqozn

You can tell that from his question

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn That's close votes.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn I hope it still meets the rules of the site

Ullallulloo

Downvotes say it's bad.

user15026

@Ullallulloo If you have them, sure.

badp

16:48

@Ullallulloo Well there's answers too

GnomeSlice

You should just close it without casting any votes, and leave some constructive comments.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice The question isn't about shopping recommendation, I just want to know what mouse to look at :)

Ullallulloo

@badp There's flags for that.

badp

So many questions in answers, every day

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice I do agree with that.

badp

16:49

@Ullallulloo Flagging is not a replacement for downvotes

Wipqozn

He's clearly trying to subvert the system.

Ullallulloo

@badp For off-topic stuff...

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn It seems to me that he just doesn't have a clear idea of what's permitted on the site.

Wipqozn

He knows he shouldn't be asking this, but is trying to get in through some loop hole.

user15026

@Wipqozn Agreeed.

Grace Note

16:50

@GnomeSlice Which should be handled by a constructive comment to the user

badp

Please continue to flag about bad posts that need removing, but don't forget to give the poster some negative feedback as well

user15026

@GnomeSlice It feels like this "I don't know what to buy, but I can't ask that, so if I ask what to look it, well, its not technically buying....so I am using a loophole."

Downvotes aren't for off-topic stuff; they're for bad/low-quality/wrong stuff.

I should think if a user was repeatedly posting questions like that, you'd assume he was intentionally trying to subvert the system.

Wipqozn

@Ullallulloo I disagree to be honest. I think a lot of down votes are not for off-topic stuff, but one or two are fine imo. More often than not users would know a question is off-topic if they took the time to read the faq.

Lazers

Downvotes for the downvote gods, dammit!
