What is an "enrage timer" on WoW?

Sterno

How long you have until the boss gets a huge buff in damage

StrixVaria

Oh weird.

Some people on the D3 forums (which I have been reduced to browsing) are complaining about the prospect of enrage timers for normal mobs on Inferno difficulty in D3.

Obviously we don't know how it'll work yet.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria It's used to prevent a variety of ridiculous strategies from working.

i.e. You can't bring 20 healers to a boss fight because you won't kill it fast enough.

StrixVaria

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria Ridiculous as in stupid and tedious.

@agent86 One thing about WoW, is it means that Blizzards designers have spent the past several years thinking very very hard about encounter design and how to create challenges that can't be trivialized by resorting to tedium.

StrixVaria

@agent86 I wouldn't call it that based on the possibility of one mechanic.

agent86

12:48 AM

@StrixVaria more of a general observation, that they've been trying to incorporate more of the learnings of WoW into D3. Not saying it's a bad thing, just hadn't really considered it to this point for whatever reason.

StrixVaria

I am reminded of killing a giant in Skyrim by climbing on a rock where couldn't reach me and shooting hundreds of arrows at it.

It's necessary to be a nanny when it comes to MMO games because what you do affects a ton of other people, but one of the great things about single-/small-multi-player games is being able to decide for yourself what you want to cheese and not cheese.

other people can go all nutty about this or that build or this mechanic or whatever, I just want to crush thousands of demons under my ginormous boot and/or with infinite gouts of hellfire

Nick T

only reason it was "hard" was because of enrage timer

agent86

as long as "smack things hard until they stop moving" is still a game mechanic, it's all good.

user2334

@LessPop_MoreFizz If the fight is properly beatable via normal means, I don't see why you'd actively try to prevent people creatively using game mechanics to beat it in silly ways

LessPop_MoreFizz

It's making it clear that the intended challenge isn't just 'do lots of damage', it's 'do lots of damage in a short period of time', and is intended to make it clear that you can't just stack survivability and get through.

12:51 AM

@LessPopMoreFizz on one of the D3 panels they summed up the MMORPG vs. RPG character builds as MMO = "optimal build only", while in more traditional RPGs you could explore the other "viable builds" to be creative

You might have access to one of the fifty fastest computers in the world, but what you lack is an intuition about the size of large numbers, as all these comments and answers are pointing out. Basically you are saying "I need to put the entire contents of the Pacific ocean into this swimming pool", and when people point out that this is impossible, your response is to say that you have one of the fifty largest pools in the world, and a great hose. Guids have been deliberately designed to be in practice impossible to enumerate, so don't try. Find a different solution to your problem. — Eric Lippert Apr 5 at 15:04

@BenBrocka Get kritzed, when it's done activate buff banner.

I'm just saying, doesn't seem right for soldiers to be running around without overpowered, unpreditcable crit rockets

badp

Nearby soldier gets enough damage to charge his own buff banner, so he gets a buff of his own.

And then the second kritz medic has his own uber ready.

And so on, without any random critical hits from the enemy to ruin your crit party.

cos, dude, skills.

Q: How can I turn off the bot spam messages?

Diablo 2's multiplayer has been a wasteland of spam messages for years—bots who enter, post long, green, gigantic messages, and leave. I've asked several party members about how to stop this and they said I can only try to squelch them from the party menu if I'm fast. Is there truly no other way?...

They're the same who complain about the enforcer btw

I think we only need one question about Diablo 2 spam bots

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot Technically they're different questions. The first question didn't ask about the ignore list, it just happens to be a better solution than the one they were looking for

@BenBrocka That's because the ignore list did not exist at the time. The original was begging the question

Oh goodie. Looks like my Vindictus account, which I haven't used in almost a year now, has hacked at some point. All my characters appear to have been deleted.

Well I think I just lost any will I had to play.

@Wipqozn Your account hacked? BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Q: Trainers for games

I have seen many trainers (never tried them though). They usually have, at their end of the name, a number like +3 or +4 or +10 etc.. My question is what do those numbers stand for?

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Why did you approve this edit?

StrixVaria

Because a trainer, in the context of that question, is a third-party program that modifies the memory state of a game.

I didn't realize it until I saw the edit.

So that re-tag makes sense, even if the question is still atrocious.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, that question is terrible and the OP should feel bad.
