Q: With the recently patch 2.0.1, where are the key wardens and what's the drop rates for keys?

In patch 2.0.1, the NV buff is removed, and difficulty settings are all redesigned. What are the new drop rate for keys and organs now?

I wonder if Nintendo or GameFreak has made a statement regarding TPP?

@Lazers That's a dupe.

Frank

5:02 PM

@Sterno You seriously want more than one of me around?

Sterno

@Frank I want 50 versions of you, all with slightly differing ideas of what should be on-topic or off-topic. And then I want to see which one stands victorious on the slain bodies of the others.

Frank

@Sterno That'd be easy. I'd kill them as they spawned and absorb them into myself.

Sterno

There can be only one.

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden Good luck putting a dent into that 500 bounty I got from @Strix for it.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank blah, well then. At least I won't use my precious internet points

Yuki

Ben Brocka

@Yuki I don't think gamefreak makes any statements about fan stuff. Nintendo's surely heard by now and is probably keeping quiet after the Evo freakout

@Frank Well, I need to go to sleep for me to wake up.

Frank

@SaintWacko Aww. Drag the SO out for some fun.

Unionhawk

Okay... let's hope I can get this lab and a half done in the 2 hour period. And let's hope my lab partner still exists.

Garan

@Unionhawk "still exists"?

Unionhawk

Well, he wasn't there last week, so from that, I can only extrapolate that it could be that he simply no longer exists.

Sterno

What kind of lab are you in that can erase existence?

Ben Brocka

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk well that'd be unfortunate. Of course you're wrong so he still exists. Rejoice!

@BenBrocka Card-based seems to be pretty popular with Japanese mobile games these days.

GnomeSlice

spugsley

@GnomeSlice it happens :(

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Because after 6 years of silence a once beloved series now only appears to exist as two card-based mobile games

Sterno

@spugsley so fickle

GnomeSlice

5:55 PM

@BenBrocka So? The old games are still there.

Frank

@spugsley Oh? What happened?

GnomeSlice

There's nothing wrong with trying something new

Ben Brocka

It would be like...making a Final Fantasy game that's just a bunch of mindless swiping and begging you for microtransactions. ...oh

spugsley

@Frank @Sterno I don't like the fact that I can't sell my shit to anyone. Making money is my favorite part of Diablo

Frank

@spugsley Yeah, no more Auction House.

spugsley

5:56 PM

I agree the RMAH had to go but taking down the AH is butt

Frank

You knew about that, though, didn't you?

Ben Brocka

They're trying something new* (read joining the gold rush) by parading around the hollowed out corpse of a beloved franchise. If they want to be new they should actually make a new series

spugsley

@Frank I forgot

Sterno

@spugsley You're right. It's downright un-American.

spugsley

@Sterno it's total butt

100% butt

Kevin van der Velden

5:57 PM

@GnomeSlice yeah, but if you're going so far away from the original franchise then you might as well make it something new

Ben Brocka

You can't call something a part of a series and act surprised when people compare it to previous entries in the series, that's the entire purpose of a series

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno so, awesome and good and you get healthcare?

Sterno

@KevinvanderVelden Flagged as offensive.

@spugsley Sometimes butt is good
