@Wipqozn The crafting system is a lot deeper than other games
I'm on Gilgamesh, the game is a lot more fun with friends than solo. It's one of the better new MMOs out there
 
@Krazer Oh god, stop tempting me.
Big question: can you conceivably advance through FFXIV and not fight a single monster?
 
Okay. I might just give it a shot with my friends. WE wouldn't be playign for a couple more weeks anyways, so I've got time to decide.
PArt of my problem is thinking I should just go back to Guild Wars 2 instead...but I've only got one friend who would go back to that with me.
 
Games that require playing with friends to be fun are the worst
 
Oh well, plenty of time to figure it out. Thanks for the input.
@badp It is annoying
 
Real life and timezones get in the way all too often
 
12:11 AM
luckily the friends I'd be playing with ar elocal
okay I'm off, toodles
 
@Yuki you have to get to lvl 10 before you can do other classes, but after than you can just pick up an crafthing and gathering class and not fight another mob
@Wipqozn make sure to choose a non-legacy server unless you have friends who are legacy
 
12:39 AM
I wish there was a way to test DPS numbers. On paper, my set fist weapons have higher DPS, but I have both a Thunderfury, and a Fulminator.
 
@Frank Yeah. It's frustrating. The best you can do is a few runs against someone like Ghom
and track kill time
 
@Sterno Problem is, those weapons are more meant for group fights, not single bosses.
Otherwise, that might work quite well.
 
@Frank I'm pretty sure Thunderfury at least hits the target as well as others, so it's useful for that
 
@Sterno True
 
Honestly, my group DPS is never the problem... it's elites and bosses
Thunderfury really helped make T3 less painful though
 
12:42 AM
Well, I just did about 35 million damage to an elite in...ten seconds? Or so?
Without even targetting it.
 
That's always good.
Last night I found shoulders or bracers or something that give you xp when you pick up gold
but it's at a 1:1 ratio, which is laughably useless
 
@Sterno Bracers. Got that.
It's roughly a 1.22:1 ratio. Not awesome, but every little bit helps.
 
My lifetime gold pickup for the character wouldn't even get me a single paragon level
 
(Yes, I calculated it)
I kept mine because they were decent, and I rerolled into +19% lightning
 
wait... those bracers can roll +elemental?
 
12:47 AM
@Sterno Yep
 
oh, I'm thinking gloves
all bracers can, right?
 
@Sterno To my knowledge, yes.
I believe legendaries are the only ones who can go above +15%, though.
 
I finally got Anduriel's Visage but 15 forgotten souls later and I still havent managed to reroll +% fire into +% lightning
 
@Sterno It took me forever to turn my Eye of the Storm reroll into crit chance.
It was costing over a million per roll by that point.
 
I hope they never nerf Harrington's Waistguard. The +100% damage is what makes T3 viable for me right now
In terms of not being painfully slow
 
12:51 AM
@Sterno I just salvaged mine in place of a Thundergod's.
 
The only thundergod's I've gotten had really shitty rolls. Including Int as a main stat
I've gotten 3 harrington's. The last was so good I haven't even rerolled anything on it
 
@Sterno In which case, re-roll one for perfect stat.
 
My forgotten souls have been needed elsewhere so far
but yeah, eventually
or the secondary gold find into a weak resistance (if later I have one)
 
@Sterno TIL: Not all secondaries can be re-rolled into all other secondaries.
There are, apparently, two different groups.

Q: Get Steam working in Crunchbang?

bobberson12I've been trying to install Steam on Crunchbang, even to the point of adding the Ubuntu package lists to my /etc/apt/sources.list. Steam installed just fine, but couldn't open because libglib2.0-0 breaks python-gi, and I can't find any way to fix this, without uninstalling Python, which I cant do...

 
1:03 AM
I do seem to be melting things much faster on T2 than I was before.
 
Definitely.
Get an Odyn Son too for even more fun
 
I'd prefer a Won Khim Lau, if I can find one at 70.

Q: Can I critically hit a chicken?

SternoI recently acquired the relic for my Enchantress that enables all her skills. As a result she's now polymorphing enemies into chickens, an ability I had never previously used. I've noticed that when attacking the enemies as chickens, their health bar goes down but critical hit damage numbers nev...

 
"enables all her skills"
bad ass relic.

Q: Can the same aura be stacked?

FabiánFor example, 4 warframes have Rejuvenation aura in the same game. This is the mod description: Team health regenerates +3 HEAL RATE Will then the team get +12 HEAL RATE ?

 
@BlueBug I got the one that makes her unkillable.
Now I just need a second Unity ring and I should be able to run T6 solo.
 
@Sterno 80 seconds for Ghom on T2.
I have no idea if that's fast or not.
 
0
Q: What conditions do I have to meet to defeat Stalker solo?

FabiánIf solo, I can only face him in a melee way with Valkyr (lvl 24), but somehow Stalker cancels Valkyr's Hysteria ability (making me vulnerable to attacks again). Didn't try with the Cernos Bow: I wonder if I hit him in the head will I instagib him or at least do massive damage (like 40% of his ba...

 
@LessPop @FAE What the heck House of Cards Threesome?!
 
1:31 AM
@RavenDreamer hahahahahahahahahahahaa
Yeah, that is the moment I referred to as "Endless rivers of Wat" several months ago.
It comes out of nowhere.
In other news, Night Vale Election Episode finally comes out this week! /cc @OrigamiRobot
I can finally stop not spoiling The Debate.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I have 3 more episodes left, I think?
 
@RavenDreamer I thought it was 5 from the moment in question. Either way, you are close to done, yes.
 
It's been pretty thrilling.
 
Frank Underwood is a bad, bad, man.
 
Yeah, I have a hunch he's about to @#$* the President.
Damn. I'm probably going on a watchlist for typing that.
 
1:34 AM
I really need to listen to Night Vale
 
@RavenDreamer I'm not sure whether I want to know what you mean by "@#$*".
 
A metaphorical @#$*ing, if you will.
That may involve stealing his job.
Succession, all that.
 
@RavenDreamer Ah, given your previous mention of a "House of Cards threesome", I was a bit suspicious.

Q: In Dark Souls 2, what happens if you kill or don't kill the Pursuer during the first encounter?

brain56POSSIBLE SPOILER What happens if you kill the Pursuer during your first encounter? What happens if you don't kill him in your first encounter? If you were unable to kill him during the first encounter, is it possible to gain the first encounter kill rewards in some other way later on in the gam...

 
I thought about changing it.
But then I remembered that this is Arqade.
Out of Context statements is sorta our Forte.
 
1:40 AM
@Lazers Ah, the classic "what if you kill the first boss that you're obviously supposed to die to?" question for the Souls series.
 
@Yuki Oh, by the by! I got Artisan's Hammer yesterday!
 
@RavenDreamer So. Friggin'. Jealous. I haven't played Monster Hunter in weeks, possibly months.
 
@SaintWacko You do!
 
@Yuki Did you see the Famitsu scans about Steve?
 
@RavenDreamer ?
 
1:42 AM
He's the new flagship monster for 4U.
Someone asked a Capcom forum... admin? I think? Anyway, he offered "Steve".
Someone asked for what to call him. "Why not Steve?"
 
@RavenDreamer This guy?
 
Yea.
"Steve".
 
Yep, I'm getting a very strong "Steve" vibe from him/her/it.
Looks really generic and unoriginal though. Hopefully the AI is innovative.
 
He moved sorta like a Nargacuga in his unveiling, so folks are thinking Pseudowyvern.
...are any of the AI really innovative?
Though come to think of it, I did hear about Brachydios charge / pounding up cliffs to get at you.
 
@RavenDreamer Well, I meant more like I don't want it to be a Rathian/Rathalos clone.
 
1:45 AM
@Yuki Fair enough. I concur.
 
Flagship monsters should have interesting fight strategies, should be something you haven't faced before.
Like Zinogre's charge mechanic.
 
So +Brachydios and +Zinogre, less so Lagiacrus?
 
Tigrex's ridiculous rage mode.
@RavenDreamer Lagiacrus had underwater going for him, that's about it.
On release, it was an interesting fight because you could move in 3D.
 
Yeah. And way more fun to fight than Rathalos. I'll take electric storms over flying in the air forever, any day.
I am really looking forward to 4U.
 
@RavenDreamer I know, I want it to be next year already.
 
1:48 AM
All of the jump attacks!
ALL OF THEM!
upswings teammates
 
jump everywhere with the Insect Staff
 
Insect Glaive, now.
Because AMURIKA.
 
Although it seems I might be using the Charge Axe more as everyone wants to get their hands on the Insect Staff Glaive.
 
Charge Blade.
]And yeah, I want that one more, these days, I think.
I think micromanaging insect buffs might be too... micro-manage-y for my liking.
 
@RavenDreamer Glaive is a pretty cool word, the only problem being that half of the Insect Glaives I saw in the trailers didn't have a blade at the end.
 
1:52 AM
@Yuki Are you familiar with the Order of the Stick?
 
@RavenDreamer Somewhat.
 
Because they have a very good example of why classifying polearms is nutty.
 
@RavenDreamer Yes, but glaives at the very least have a blade of some sort at the end.
Typically single-edged, IIRC.
 
@Yuki This is a game where a frozen swordfish can be used as a greatsword. I think we're supposed to use a generous interpretation.
...I actually still need Gourmet Vouchers to finish upgrading my Fork + Spatula Dual Blades, too.
 
@RavenDreamer The problem here is that the frozen swordfish is not the norm for Greatswords. For the Insect Glaives, the norm from what I've seen in trailers is not having a blade.
 
1:54 AM
Oh, hey. Sots 2 is on sale this week.
Is it actually playable now?
 
@Frank Well, the idea is you compare it to your other weapon
 
Some of them are decidedly more "Glaive-like" than others, but I think the name is fine.
 
@RavenDreamer Oh, well that's all right then.
 
@fredley: managed to semi beat that system into running. the login thing works for me on 4.2
 
OHGODCHILDOFLIGHTINTWODAYSSOTEMPTEDTOPREORDERRIGHTNOW
 
1:58 AM
@Frank for comparison I was 21 seconds. i started the timer right after the fadeaway for the cutscene but slightly before I could move
 
@Sterno I'm now jealous.
 
I need a more reliable start time. It would be hard to reproduce exactly
 
@Frank Don't feel bad, I take upwards of 3 minutes, probably more.
 
I also popped a 2 minute cooldown ability, which probably sped it up by 50%
Oh, I also have +25% elite damage gear on, which probably helped
T4 is still too slow to play though
 
Hrm. 57 seconds this time.
 
2:11 AM
@Frank same attack pattern?
That's a big difference
 
@Yuki I did.
 
Okay, how does buying games through Green Man Gaming work? Because apparently purchases of >$10 are 20% off.
 
@Sterno More aggressive. Kinda stood in the clouds and tanked it.
Run #3, with Shenlong's: 58 seconds.
 
I could get DS2 and Child of Light for cheapers, but I'm not sure whether I'd get a Steam code or not.
 
Oh, yeah. If you have to run around and dodge him, that'll throw it off
He doesn't even move my health bar on T2
 
2:13 AM
Apparently, Child of Light is through uPlay (... ew) and Dark Souls II is through Steam.
So... I'd get a uPlay code and a Steam code?
 
@Sterno You must have a significant amount of LoH if it doesn't even budge.
 
@Frank 6.7k loh and 8.2k lps. And -23.5% elite damage

Q: What is the benefit of "claiming" a Fort or other location for your guild?

khanahkLike, does the guild get a collective character buff or ...something? Is it just to look pretty?

 
which I assume helps versus their effects but am not entirely sure
 
@Sterno It's probably the last that's doing most of the work, I suspect.
Because I have higher of both of the others.
 
2:17 AM
also 15k armor and 974 poison resist
Once I'm done with this rift I'll do it again without Wrath of the Berserker.
 
62 seconds for second run.
 
@Yuki Sounds right, yeah. GMG is a pretty decent site, as far as I can tell.
 
I upvoted your answer because lots of people have been making the same mistake, but your answer is still incorrect. If you may have read the answer, you would know that I want to use a command, not a potion. — user3487713 2 hours ago

Q: How can I install mods on the Mac release of Planescape Torment?

LessPop_MoreFizzSo, GOG has gone to the trouble of releasing Planescape: Torment for OS X thanks to the wonders of WINE. Hooray! Unfortunately, said release does not include the core mods that are widely regarded as essential for playing the game today. I happen to agree that at a minimum the widescreen and U...

 
why would you upvote an answer because it is wrong and lots of other people are also wrong.
My head, it hurts.
 
2:25 AM
@Frank 38s without wrath of the berserker. The extra attack speed that thing gives must really help with thunderfury/odyn son procs
 
Hah. Level 70 Echoing Fury just dropped.
 
@agent86 lol at including Arena and Daggerfall
 
There. Two runs with each set. Results: inconclusive.
All around 58 seconds.
Re-ran one without moving.
Echoing Fury no longer gives straight +hits.
Which makes it more or less useless.
 
@Yuki Another option: Get DS2 on GMG, and just get Child of Light on Steam. You'll pay a bit more, and still have to go through uPlay, but hey, Steam!
 
2:44 AM
@RonanForman yes @FEi's answer is always @spugley's butt
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You never had to not start.

@waxeagle this answer is so obviously wrong that it is hate speech and spreading disinformation. — caseyr547 2 days ago
I don't like it, so that makes it hate speech!
 
user15026
2:51 AM
@Frank Eh, considering the poster, I am not really shocked. More just bored that they are doing the same thing they do.
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, neither am I. I just find it slightly amusing that anything he doesn't agree with is obviously hate speech.
 
also we opened the grill up today to make steak and there were baby birds in it
 
user15026
@Frank I dunno, I have really become tired of dramatrolls.
 
user15026
@spugsley O.o
 
user15026
That's a surprise.
 
2:52 AM
the littlest, tiniest baby birds I have ever seen
and I cried
because I thought that by opening the grill their mother would abandon them
 
@Frank reads... You're going to claim that a moderator is a nonexpert spreading misinformed hate speech? Really? ...
 
@Unionhawk Check out more of his posts. It's his modus operandi.
 
user15026
shrugs People are dumb. Network has a bunch of 'em.
 
user15026
@spugsley No, they would be okay. :)
 
user15026
The whole "don't handle birds because you will make them smell like people" isn't actually true
 
2:55 AM
@AshleyNunn thta's what @OrigamiRobot told me :D So we moved them to a safe place
 
user15026
@spugsley yay!
 
:v hey. I made a game for LD29. If you're interested in playing it:
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=10573
feedback is welcome becuz i r bad gam desgnr
 
@Frank Well, if they otherwise seem equal on single-target, I'm sure Thunderfury is better than Fulminator
 
@Sterno I was testing Thunderfury + Fulminator vs. Shenlong's.
 
Unless you like keeping your enemies alive so they can do DOT damage for longer.

Q: Why do I hate Orteil so much?

A Wondering PersonI know I haven't played Cookie Clicker and explore updates, but for some reason, I just hate Orteil so much. Does anybody think they why know I do?

 
@Frank probably :>
@Lazers XD
 
3:03 AM
Well, I finally rolled lightning on my Andariel's Visage, but now I have to find some other slot to craft a second piece of Aughild's in. Might have to finally get rid of bracers that spawn monsters at shrines. My single favorite item in the game :(
 
@Lazers Self-Help.SE
 
@Lazers That question was so hated that a StackExchange employee hunted it down in minutes and nuked it.

@Sterno Self-deleted.
 
But employee-closed!
 
3:05 AM
@Frank no, its clearly a clonetrooper ;p
 
@Sterno On the ball, @AnnaLear is.
I'm debating whether to play more D3, or finish up my model.
 
You make 3D models?
 
user15026
@Frank ooooh model! (will there be pictures?) (Also I am sleeping soon I swear but the internet argued with me)
 
@Grey Gundam models.
@AshleyNunn It's almost done, but I can take a picture once it's complete.
And then again after I paint and detail it.
I have some pretty neat ideas to try out for the transparent pieces on this one.
 
user15026
@Frank Yay! Please do :D
 
3:11 AM
@Frank picssss
 
@AshleyNunn I swear, half the reason I build these is because you get so much joy from my pictures.
 
user15026
@Frank Because they are SO COOL.
 
user15026
Because I don't have the hand-eye/dexterity to do it myself, but I love seeing people make stuff
 
user15026
:D
 
Which reminds me; I should detail that one.
 
3:13 AM
@frank looking through your entire album. such awesomeness
 
user15026
@Frank Detail? Isn't it already.....done?
 
:O the complete build!
 
user15026
(also look you bad influence I am not sleeping aaaaaaallllll your fault stop being awesome)
 
@AshleyNunn I haven't done any panel lining on that one. Or decaling.
Or painting, for that matter.
 
user15026
@Frank Panel lining?
 
3:14 AM
@AshleyNunn Panel lining
 
user15026
@Frank oh, neat.
 
user15026
Man, so much work goes into this stuff. Its amazing.
 
@AshleyNunn And most of it is totally optional.
The kits look fine, just as straight builds.
 
user15026
@Frank I love, though. that people put all these other details in just because they love doing it.
 
I have a bottle specifically for black panel lining.
It takes a ton of patience and a few q-tips to clean it up when you're done.
Yes, I'm a bad influence on you. Sue me. :P

Q: Feature request: New flag type "Failed to realize question scope"

ranger10700I am really new to the StackExchange community and after reading several answers, I seem to come to the same conclusion; that some fail to realize the scope of the question. Now I'm unsure as to whether I misunderstand - like, whether or not there is another way of approaching this situation - b...

 
Hey guys, I think I need some serious help
I have no clue what to do now
I don't know what to call the condition that's been aflicting me
But, I cannot stop thinking about vanity items in games
like cosmetics and such
I've spent a lot of money, and I can't get over it
I feel like I"m going to get fucked later down the road
I've spent near $1k on vanity cosmetics
I just can't get over it
 
@DISREGARDMODSACQUIREREP what the actual fuck
one K?
 
At least
Well, in the last year, I've spent a total of $1k on Steam
I'm not rich by any standards, but this obsession is killing me and draining my funds
Worst yet, I still have to pay off student loans that I acquired throughout college
I've already dissascoiated my cc info with all game publishers
so I can't spend anymore
but I just have this innate urge to look pretty with virtual pixels
 
@DISREGARDMODSACQUIREREP so what is the current problem?
 
@isthisbetter I can't stop
 
3:38 AM
spending?
 
yes and it's killing me
maybe I should post this on personal finance and money
or something
but it's also gaming related too
 
I would delete your steam account a take up a hobby
bike riding or carpentry or something
I have had to delete games off my computer multiple times
if you attempt to redownload them then set up a k9 to block games with a password you cannot remember
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't suppose you know how to "reset" gamecenter on iOS do you?
Mine isn't working any more, and when I open the app itself it's just white with the status bar at the top.
 
@DISREGARDMODSACQUIREREP I sympathize. I had some help quitting my obsession with buying all the micro-transaction costumes in one game. NCsoft shut down the entire game. Assholes.
 
3:54 AM
@GnomeSlice have I shown you www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLlWJ689Lkw yet?
I hope it isn't too far out to the point of boredom :)

Heh.

I'll just copypaste
 
3:55 AM
I dont know waht my computers doing
 
Not really my thing, can't really comment on it.
 
I need to write guys :/
 
@isthisbetter This is more my speed: soundcloud.com/tripvmusic/go-hard
 
I have procrastinated all day
 
@GnomeSlice yeah I like chillout music like aphex twin, xxyyxx, etc.
 
4:00 AM
 
@spugs So I just wrote about 500 words that I can't show you because I'm on mobile.
 
That's probably as close as I can go.
 
@Yuki What are you writing about? :D
 
@isthisbetter what's that
what's a k9
 
@spugs I just used one of those random first line generators.
 
4:01 AM
@DISREGARDMODSACQUIREREP k9 web protection set it to block games with a random password that you can't remember and it will make it so that you cannot play games unless you get a new computer
 
@Yuki nice! Good for you!
 
great at breaking addictions
 
@spugs if you have Skype, I can try to send it to you tomorrow morning or something.
 
@spugsley doit
 
4:16 AM
@Yuki I don't have Skype buuutt I could get it pretty easily :p I've been meaning to anyway
 
@spugs or really any way of sending files. Wait, I do have your email, IIRC. But if you get Skype, we could do Bridge group calls or something.
 
@Yuki You decide anything re: Child of Light and DS2? :P
 
@Yuki I now have Skype :O
 
@fluttershy I'm gonna pick up both tomorrow through GMG, I think.
@spugs Whooo! I'll send what I have either in the morning or later tonight, depending on when my stupid router turns back on.
Oh, I'll need your Skype username.
 
@Yuki yay :D I'm glad you are writing. It's really great even when I hate it
 
4:26 AM
@Yuki Probably a good choice. I know GMG is pretty good about sending discount codes frequently as well. They're pretty awesome.
 
@Yuki it's my email address
 
@spugs I think I'm going to finish at around 700 words. I'm sure I could make it longer, but I'm new at this and I suck at writing from a woman's perspective.
 
@Yuki practice, practice :p
I actually write from a guy's perspective better. No idea why
lol
 
Heck, I could suck at writing anything non-technical for all I know.
The last time I remember writing creatively was in high school and I think they gave you points for effort then.
Not to mention a checklist of literary techniques, IIRC.
"Must have at least one synecdoche."
 
wow it's late
 
4:44 AM
@Yuki :p yeah those were the good ol days.
now I'm trying to write a fucking novel and it's hard as balls
I think there is nothing more in my entire life I want than to be a published author. It's just so hard. Rejection is scary.
