Q: Do I have to get "Frozen Asset" before the end of the game?

Looking over the description for the Frozen Asset trophy I see there should be 4 side missions. On my Good playthrough I helped the Ice Soldier and...none of the other missions showed up. I haven't completed the rest of the non-Ice Soldier side missions, but I've completed the game and am on Chap...

Q: Do I get the benefit of the paining in Mudhold Fasting by using it or do I have to take it to Gravehal?

There is a painting in Mudhold Fasting on Gallows End in the "Dead Kel" expansion of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Do I get the stat boost from the painting simply by interacting with it or do I need to somehow take it back to the Gravehal art gallery?

@BenBrocka what's your PSN speed like?

I've been averaging maybe 80k/s this whole weekend, which means I will download these games at approximately quarter after never

Jin

i miss my old monk

old = pre-inferno act2

Ben Brocka

Dunno, but I downloaded the games from PSN+ in two nights (the PS3 decided to turn itself off before it was done)

Wireless or ethernet? Always use ethernet if at all possible

Though the PS3 is a bit slower than what it should be

agent86

@BenBrocka I've tried both. right now it's wired into the router.

Ben Brocka

crap, can't run speedtest.net on the PS3

well the PS3's internet connection test says it gets 9.9 Mbps (wired) and my laptop gets 12.54 Mbps (wireless)

A: Where can I find an item I can disenchant to learn Fortify Alchemy?

Srsly just go to a random smith or alchemist or magic vendor any one who sells items with enchantment, than check there inventory if they have it great and if they dont just save you game and kill them. Than just reload your saved game and than check repeat this process until you find something. ...

Kill it with fire

A: What does the arrow in the bottom left corner do?

That answer was actually incorrect. When you guess the wrong word, it retracts all the letters at once, instead of one by one

Ben Brocka

Though the downloads might be flaky if sony's servers are over loaded. How does your connection test on the PS3 compare with your computer's results?

Yi Jiang

@fbueckert I'm assuming the answer is actually trying to say that the game does this automatically.

It's a guess, of course. And in that case it's not really an answer

Ben Brocka

@agent86 um...sonic 4 demo is downloading 422 MBs in about 8 minutes (it says). I don't feel like mathing that out and there's no XMbps counter when you download

Yi Jiang

@BenBrocka 422 MB in 8 min = 53 MB per min < 1MB per second, or around 7 megabits per second

Ben Brocka

12:47 AM

@YiJiang Thanks. That's reasonably close to the estimate the connection test gives, @agent86. I suspect downloading games is a bit slower than non-PSN stuff though

Yi Jiang

WolframAlpha says 7.033 megabits per second, so yay for estimation and mental sums

Ben Brocka

heh, didn't think to check wolfram alpha

LessPop_MoreFizz

@brant definitely not by design. It can be used to dupe items.

That said, word is it was hot fixed.

Tim Stone

I'm still waiting on them to fix the Lyceum. I want my achievements, heh. But no word on that, from what I've seen. :(

Raven Dreamer

I don't think the Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3 achievments were well done.

Definitely a case of "QUANTITY! SO MANY ACHIEVEMENTS! YOU GET AN ACHIEVEMENT! AND YOU GET AN ACHIEVEMENT! BWAHAHA"

And I'm not in a position to judge WoW's these days.

Yi Jiang

1:01 AM

Hehehe

Brant

WoW has some downright silly achievements as well. There are the "YOU FIGURED OUT HOW TO RIGHT CLICK! GRATS!!" achievements, and the "YOU HAVEN'T GONE OUTSIDE FOR TWO WEEKS! GRATS!!!" achievements...

Raven Dreamer

Blizzard seems to like offering "super ridiculous achievements that only the .1% of players will ever achieve".

I.e., "defeat Inferno Diablo on hardcore".

Which just makes me want to say, "Yeah, no. I give up pre-emptively".

Brant

And why not? It's not like there's a limit on the number of achievements you can have, like on XBox Live.

If it gives people something cool to show off, there's little reason not to reward a few points for it.

(Microsoft requires you to have no more than 50, worth 1000 cumulative points, with varying levels of difficulty)

Plus more for DLC yadda yadda, but there's a budget you have to allocate when deciding where to put achievements.

Which is why you never see any 0.1%ers on the 360. (Well, a few. But very rarely. FFXI, I'm looking in your direction)

LessPop_MoreFizz

Tbqh, I'd be more upset if there wasn't an achievement for inferno diablo on hardcore.

Now, inferno diablo on hardcore, naked is silly and pointless.

Raven Dreamer

Because if you make achievements nigh-unobtainable, you steer folks like me away from striving for them in the first place. I'm not saying don't have hard achievements, I'm saying, if the achievement is both hard and time consuming, folks aren't going to bother, in which case, what's the point of the achievement?

You want a game I think got achievements done right? Team Fortress 2.

Minus the whole halloween "get 50 presents" or whatever.

Q: Can I filter legendary or set items by stats in the Auction House?

diablo-3

LessPop_MoreFizz

Counterpoint: beating the game on the highest difficulty should always have an achievement associated with it.

Raven Dreamer

Beating the game on the highest difficulty is already an achievement.

Yi Jiang

@RavenDreamer It gives you more sense of achieving something if the system recognises it and all your friends can see it

Raven Dreamer

Do you really need a little icon and a toast? Wouldn't a victorious screenshot or UI enhancement (ala New Super Mario) work just as well?

@YiJiang What are these "Friends" you speak of. No information in the databanks. :/

I downloaded 1.4GB of sideway new york, and then now it wants to patch for 800 mb worth. WTF PSN

even their network connection settings speed test shows I'm getting the right amount of bandwidth, just don't get it while downloading off their network

Ben Brocka

@agent86 Oh, the PATCHES are slow as hell. The downloads (which run in the background) run fine. PS+ does have an auto-patch-install feature thing that should run nightly (if you set it up) but in my experience it doesn't run nearly as often as the game save backup (which actually is nightly)

average professor in the last 5 mins of lesson as the time to get the fuck out of there and catch the fucking train draws critically close:

"so this is the second, useless form of doing this process, because see this term? Notice the exponent? It's -1. It's the inverse of a matrix. That's a slow process. A very slow process. The larger the matrix the slower. Aw jeez. That sucks. You know what? Inversions is so slow" AND SO ARE YOU FUCKING CUT TO THE CHASE MY TRAIN LEAVES IN 12 MINUTES

"...I really do wish there was a better way to do so. A way that didn't involve inveraions. Those very slow inversions. Turns out there is a way" NO SHIT SHERLOCK GIMME GIMME 10 MINS LEFT (people from next lesson start making noise from the outside)

"To see what this better method without those slow, slow inversions are, though, we must first see a very very nice theoretical result, called the lemma of matrix " LOL I BETCHA ITS CALLED 'INVERSION' BECAUSE GOD FORBID I WIKIPEDIA IT

"...of matrix inversion (writes name out on chalkboard, carefully), but I doubt we'll finish it in time." LOLBAI

@badp and then you get to the train station, sweating like a madman, only to see the train leaving... or worse, the run has been cancelled

badp

today I even saw it arrive so I was super-lucky

(pant)

Kappei

@badp I wish I had that luck when I was at the university

usually it took more to do the commute than the actual lesson time

badp

Yeah, I guess my commute could be worse. It could be way worse if the train simply left as much as 2 minutes earlier than what it does

1 minute earlier would cut my wiggle room, 2 minutes earlier would lose me one extra hour per day

Mad Scientist

@badp If you have a moment, could you please give me the number of flags/month on Gaming? I'm trying to compare the number of SO flags per month and mod to other sites on the network.

badp

a few days ago it was 2.1k, I'm on my mobile so I can't see the alt-text to be more specific than that.

Mad Scientist

@badp Thanks

badp

ask me in a hour or so

Q: How can you play friends in ranked matches on Soul Calibur IV for PS3?

I finally figured out how to do it on non-ranked matches. However, when I make a ranked match and push triangle, nothing happens. So, how do I play my friends to also get ranking? Otherwise I feel like I'm just wasting time if I'm playing but have nothing to show for it.

@badp A rough number is completely sufficient, thanks

badp

how can you do science, let alone ~~aperture~~ mad science with less than 2 significant digits!

@yij technobabble.thezeis.com/11

crank it up to 11

Q: Final Fantasy VII - PC - buying options

Is it still possible to buy FF VII for PC other then used? Can't find it nowhere, and the used on Amazon are for too high price (and I can expect damaged CD's)

@YiJiang doing a google search

Yi Jiang

Did it appear above Gaming.SE results? If so there's another form you can report this to

Kappei

@YiJiang no, it was lower in ranking

Q: Are the no-damage achievements necessary to get "Golden God" and "Platinum God"?

In the base game there are five achievements that require you to complete a "layer" of the basement without taking damage. Are these necessary to get the "Golden God" and the "Platinum God" achievements?
