@Powerlord thus my hate for Kickstarter.

fredley

@fbueckert Oh I love KickStarter. It's my wallet that doesn't.

@Sterno Pics?

Sterno

@fredley Of which?

fredley

@Sterno Your load of tiles

Also, why are you tiling a dungeon?

Sterno

@fredley I can do it when I get home. Right now all I've got is the FedEx tracking information and a fear that someone will steal them all from my front steps

@fredley The blood doesn't wash out, so sometimes they just need retiling

fredley

@Sterno What's the campaign?

Sterno

5:01 PM

@fredley Like video games, I may never use them!

fredley

@Sterno You need higher quality tiles. Also research seamless grouting.

Wipqozn

Why would anyone start a war with the ottomans?

Sterno

Actually, I probably will once my daughter is older and I can schedule gaming again. But that's a few years off

FAE

@Sterno Kinky.

Wipqozn

They're a military powerhouse. Just leave them alone.

Sterno

5:02 PM

@Wipqozn maybe they were friends with France

fbueckert

@Wipqozn This is perfect! Wait until the crazy people weaken the Ottomans, than finish them off!

fredley

@Sterno you backed this at the $1000 level? Are you insane?

Wipqozn

@fbueckert People who attack the ottomans don't make them weaker, they become part of the empire.

Sterno

@fredley No. I backed at the $730 level. Then I did about $250 worth of addons. :)

fredley

@Sterno You are insane.

fbueckert

5:03 PM

@Wipqozn Well, then they're doing it wrong.

Sterno

@fbueckert I think I just beat @fredley at Kickstarter.

fbueckert

Just stab them in the back when they're otherwise occupied.

fredley

@Sterno I've pledged < $1000 total

Wipqozn

The worst part is I got sucked into the war against the ottomans.

Sterno

@fredley What's better is that I already owned about $600 of the stuff from before their Kickstarter.

fbueckert

5:04 PM

@Sterno I'm going to have to agree with this conclusion.

Wipqozn

The ottomans. They're too strong.

They're worse than france.

But at least the ottomans have left me alone.

fredley

@Sterno What even is it?

Sterno

@fredley kickstarter.com/projects/dwarvenforge/…

fredley

And why is spending $1000 on it a reasonable thing to do?

Sterno

People spend money on their hobbies. My hobby is being awesome.

It's essentially dungeon lego.

Sterno

It's not system specific

fredley

@Sterno right

Wipqozn

Well it cost me 1000 gold but I got out of it.

Powerlord

5:06 PM

Hmm, being almost November, the Shadowgate remake is supposed to come out soon.

Sterno

It's basically just so you can build out a dungeon for use with miniatures when playing any fantasy RPG.

Jason Berkan

@fredley Too small to be useful for Warhammer.

Wipqozn

I don't want to be stuck int his war as the ottomans decide to expand ever further.

They already were winning at 20%.

Q: Using mods in multiplayer

I now see that there is a multiplayer option in the mods section. However, when I start a game, none of the mods actually load. Is it possible to get them working so that I can use the mods with my friends?

like here

Grace Note

5:13 PM

@Sterno From what we can guess, kill with fire. Ice was our second kill (Wufan made a very nice first kill but that was untyped ranged). We also had it blinded that time (as opposed to the paralyze the first time, and head bind the second time), but based on the nature of the drop we're pretty sure it was kill with fire.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn My link was borked.

Sterno

@GraceNote So, hit it with what it's resistant to. That game is dicks.

OrigamiRobot

Also, of course not dupes.

fredley

All my delete votes used up

Grace Note

Kefberg, our Nightseeker/Dancer, nearly gave us a heart attack by swords dancing and we weren't sure just how close to death it was with all these not-fire slashes. Then Phoebe picked up the remaining slack after Kibagami's Fire Strike with an Inferno Rune whose meager 49 damage was enough!

Powerlord

5:14 PM

I've been told that my Pokemon X/Y safari is of type Bug.

Which kinda bugs me... yes, you knew it was coming.

Grace Note

@Sterno It's not actually that hard. The hardest to do this was in EO3. In EO2, you had Dampen from Hexers, which sets resistances to 100-120%. In EO4, you have Imperials whose elemental attacks are so stupid powerful that they'll do fine at securing the last hit.

Wipqozn

Out of votes.

Grace Note

The trick is to remember that part-physical moves do a whole lot more damage than using a pure elemental spell against a strength. Our Medic/Dancer used a fire bow and did 80-esque damage per turn if we wanted to, which compare against super-tech Phoebe's Inferno Rune, most powerful single target fire attack, dealing only 49.

Q: How to find out whether an old-ish game is still being actively played online?

I'm thinking about buying a game not from the past year or two, among other reasons for its multiplayer modes; but I first want to make sure there's still a sizable community of players playing it online. Is there some way I can find out data such as how many servers there are / what's the avera...

Powerlord

Because you know a new one is coming.

OrigamiRobot

Powerlord

Wipqozn

I should note that one of those 4 servers belongs to me

fredley

5:19 PM

@OrigamiRobot The answer is bad anyway

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot untagged

Grace Note

@Sterno I could tell you what the real bother here is, though, but only if you want a bit of a spoiler.

kalina

needs more than a close if you're doing that to get rid of it

Sterno

@GraceNote I do not mind EO spoilers

kalina

@OrigamiRobot also, retag it untagged and leave it as that until somebody kicks off about it

like @Sterno said

Grace Note

5:20 PM

@Sterno Starting since EO2, the special drops for the three dragons have been to kill them with their natural element.

kalina

@GraceNote I'm not clear what that's any more a bother than doing it for the Boiling Lizard

Grace Note

5:21 PM

@Sterno Boiling Lizard might be an adorable nuisance and can hurt, but the greater danger in killing it with fire is killing it with something else instead. But here, you got things where the larger concern is how dead to dead you could be just trying to get them low enough to start working on their weakness.

Grace Note

Though I admit I happened to, on at least three occasions, accidentally killed the Wyrm in EO3 with a fire attack. All the same, point is that there's a bit of a stall game you can easily use to ensure a kill with a resistant move, and you don't generally want to stall against those three.

Sterno

5:22 PM

@GraceNote I found the Boiling Lizard harder than the frost dragon. EO4 dragons might be chumps. Or my party just really came into its own around level 70 and was rough up until then. Not sure.

kalina

sloths-are-best-pony

OrigamiRobot

I'm just going to start tagging things bmo-is-best-mo

3ventic

Let's just decide it's off-topic because it has no tag that we like

Sterno

Well, unless I used those things I forget the name of which canceled out the Boiling Lizard's fire crystals. THen he was easy.

But that seemed like cheatery

Grace Note

@Sterno We only had difficulty on the second of our three fights. In the first fight, we broke the tower so it at half HP and far less attack power made him, well, a chump. In the third fight, Wufan stuck a head bind for like, 90% of the fight. Second fight... ow.

Sterno

5:24 PM

Ice spikes?

kalina

@3ventic this is not a good path to start travelling down

Grace Note

@Sterno Yeah, that's... kinda like the one thing you learn from like the whole dungeon is "Ice Stakes break Fire Scales"

You can also hit them with an ice attack that won't destroy them, but it'll stop them from chasing.

Sterno

@GraceNote I didn't like using them. Again, I'm weird. I don't like using items for boss fights. I will, eventually, if it takes too many tries.

GnomeSlice

New Game Music Bundle

Sterno

Maybe that's why the frost dragon was so easy in EO4. They basically throw things at you to make the fight easier.

Grace Note

5:25 PM

@Sterno The Amrita line are about the only item that I could feel nargh about, but I understand fully as you've explained to me how you feel about items. Though I feel that Ice Stakes are less cheatery than anything since they're actually like, part of that boss's full puzzle.

Sterno

@GraceNote Yeah. I did use the thing that drops him to half, though.

Q: Is there a way to browse the Rift store without activating the game?

Inside of the game however the Rift store displays a greater amount of different items that you can purchase such as mounts, extra bag slots, extra crafting profess...

rift

Grace Note

@Sterno I'm curious how it'll go, as before, they had the whole Anti-Element line of skills that were, if not their cousin skills, practically a necessity of the battle.

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote 'nargh'?

Grace Note

So not having that as an option changes the fight dynamic so they could just follow a different strategy. Though I imagine that the ice dragon still enjoys using Ice Block and Regen.

@GnomeSlice Say it out loud.

GnomeSlice

5:27 PM

I did.

Grace Note

Then there is your answer.

Sterno

@GraceNote That may or may not be accurate.

GnomeSlice

Nooooo I lost my Dr Meth save...

Sterno

I haven't run into any of the previous games' dragons but pretty much all I remember the frost dragon doing was spamming cold attacks, which I was highly resistant to, and some physical attacks which hurt but were survivable

Grace Note

@Sterno Well, I'll tell you the attacks from EO3.

Sterno

5:38 PM

1. Install Ruby

* Run __gem install bundler__
1. Install Gems

It took me a while, but I noticed something wrong with the instruction's numbering system.

@GraceNote I don't remember EO4 enough to confirm or deny it's the same. I don't remember any regen, though. Or maybe it was just low enough that I DPS'd through it and ignored it

Really the main thing I remember about the frost dragon was how disappointed I was in the difficulty.

Grace Note

Ice Lance: Stab attack to single, usually does 400-800 damage.
Shower: Stab attack to everyone, may head bind, medium damage.
0Point: Ice damage to single, minor damage but causes instant death.
Iceblock: Selfbuff for 5 turns, boosts Volt and Phys resistance to 99% damage reduction.
Regen: Selfbuff for 5 turns, recovers some HP each turn.
Frigid: Ice attack to everyone for 1200-1600 damage.

Sterno

Heh. I definitely do not recall Iceblock.

Though this is also the dragon I accidentally used Fire on instead of Volt

having mixed up the weaknesses

Grace Note

Iceblock and Ice Lance were the main things people hated about it in the first game (where it did not have Shower back then, though).

Sterno

0Point sounds familiar, now that you mention it. Some sort of instant-death attack, anyway. And Frigid, which was largely ignorable between a food ice resist buff and my Runemaster's maxed out Ice Rune

Grace Note

Interesting to hear that.

Frigid, being, y'know, the 1200-1600 damage attack in a game with 999 as a max HP value, was usually the "threat" of the dragons in the past, and why strategies traditionally were heavily reliant on Anti-element skills.

Sterno

5:42 PM

And I probably had Element Guard up on my Fortress too

Grace Note

Now in the first game I admit that I went with Immunize and that was sufficient for me to actually beat down the Wyrm without the associated anti-fire, but past that I stuck to tradition to a point.

Also because Immunize was that dumb.

Having the food buff is actually pretty significant, I imagine.

Sterno

Yeah, looking at the numbers, Ice Rune would only drop that to 600-800. Element Guard on top of it would be 450-600. Not sure how much the food did, but that still seems like a lot of pain. Maybe the numbers are lower in this one though

Grace Note

...okay, wow, yeah, and the Fire/Ice/Volt runes are all 50% reduction.

Sterno

I guess maybe defense score also plays in? I've never been real clear on exactly how Defense works

Q: How do i get the Dead Thrall spell and what is it?

I have found a question and one of the answers said something like "You can repeatedly use the Dead Thrall spell on someone who trusts you and kill them" or something and i forgot the question name, but it was about empowering the Ebony Blade by killing people who trusts that user. First of all, ...

skyrim

Grace Note

5:45 PM

50% reduction is much nicer than I thought. Should really start pumping these at some point.

fredley

SO will do anything to avoid being helpful these days

Sterno

I'm starting to remember that I think it was actually my medic, with Runemaster as the secondary, who had the Ice/Volt/Fire runes

typically he'd set up the Runemaster to do bonus damage, but also worked as the "protector" in the tougher fights

Grace Note

@Sterno If you say that it was, in fact, "largely ignorable", then I am led to believe that the numbers might have been reduced here. To "Still bad if you don't have elemental resistances" but to a more "Actual resistance stats would actually be of value here" that is better than "Your stats won't matter because you're gonna die".

Mad Scientist

@fredley You know that you can get rid of those "What have you tried" link-only comments by flagging once?

Sterno

I hated wasting a turn for the Runemaster to essentially self-buff damage. Except for Runic Gleam

fredley

5:48 PM

@MadScientist ugh, I can't be bothered. I got close and downvotes too, presumably from the same user

Sterno

@GraceNote Probably depends how much of a buff the food gave

Grace Note

@Sterno I largely use the runes defensively, mehself.

Sterno

I mean, I definitely had my defensive buffs up. That's my playstyle for bosses

Grace Note

@Sterno I would guess a 30% reduction, assuming 10% per arrow to reflect the same values that you get for each icon in equipment in this game.

fredley

Admittedly it is a trivial question, but I did invest a good 10 minutes trying to find a solution, but for something so trivial it's not worth writing it up.

Sterno

5:49 PM

@GraceNote If that's true, I was probably taking about 25% cold damage, overall

Which if it's 1200-1600, still seems like it would demolish my back rank

fbueckert

Ben Brocka

It'd be nice if he had more than one fighting move

fbueckert

@GraceNote Even though it's massively weak to Flying?

Ben Brocka

granted it's a pretty good one. But his "tank" thing doesn't really work out well. A single flying move and he's dead. And he's slow

Grace Note

@fbueckert Flying isn't actually a superbly liked offensive type, but more to point, I don't think one 4x weakness breaks a build. See Steel/Bug and Water/Ground, which are massively loved type combinations.

fbueckert

@GraceNote Water/Ground at least has the advantage of completely negating one of Water's main weaknesses.

Ben Brocka

5:58 PM

grass is pretty bad defensively though

fbueckert

Although, Grass will eat it for breakfast at that point.

Grace Note

It may not have the sheer potency that Water/Ground does, or the steel-type benefits of Steel/Bug, but I think Grass/Fighting is pretty snazzy and to a matter of point it's one of few things that actually resists both Rock and Ground.

@fbueckert How to tag questions like "How do I repair a scratched game disc", whatever end result we get out of this tangle, and other things dealing with general gamering... things.

@GraceNote You might be asking the wrong person :P

fbueckert

@GraceNote I'll let it perk in the back of my mind. See what it can come up with.

@badp This is either deliberate or unintentional.

@Arperum multiplayer has gone down to 236

Also, I reiterate, @kalina, your gravatar meets the same basic image recognition as @GraceNote's. This irks me.

@GraceNote I see you've finally gotten your Tautology Club Membership Certificate

Grace Note

It's a subtle way to say that I picked him as the right person.

@fbueckert Let the specks of red guide your eyes

@OrigamiRobot I have cast a delete vote on every non-dupe, because I have immense numbers of delete votes

@fbueckert Let them shape your flow of murder and sorrow

Q: Where to find a list of online games ordered by number of players per country?

I have found out that I can't play MW2 online sometimes because my country has few players. I would like to know which multiplayer online games are popular in my country. Is there any such list?

This needs some closing.

Grace Note

@badp Yeah, that's how I was figurin'. Definitely, betwixt the light blues and even the blondes, but that giant patch of rorange is enough for me to distinguish at a distance even at this mondo resolution.

fbueckert

@GraceNote Hence why I said basic image recognition; I'm busy doing a half dozen things.

How come no one else gets told they have terrible eyes when they get people's gravatars confused? I AM A VICTIM!

kalina

@GraceNote @badp @BenBrocka @mods - if you delete a question on a tag that we're burning (IE: multiplayer) I'm right in thinking it will prevent the system from auto deleting that tag, right?

badp

@kalina um, no?

kalina

I'm sure we came across that before?

maybe I was high on cake

badp

If you do weird deletion/undeletion/retagging combinations the system may take a little longer to realize what's going on, but eventually it should... I think.

OrigamiRobot

I am VTCing this because it's too broad and 1k views in 2 years is obviously not helpful.

once all the questions are gone the tag goes poof, deleted questions with the tag don't count

Grace Note

@kalina Auto deletions ignore deleted questions.

kalina

@GraceNote ok

OrigamiRobot

And because we are in the process of closing the two questions it has as an asnwer.

Grace Note

@fbueckert Understandable. At this resolution I can almost see how bad @Origami sees things, so I can figure how it is betwixt kalina and I for you.

kalina

@fbueckert solution: chat wide rule to allow me to constantly monologue long enough that my avatar is shown at the larger size

@kalina's orange bits are enough to distinguish between you.
