Q: Do most hats only make you look fancy?

There are some headgear (and same goes for robes/cloaks) that have special attributes that benefit the wearer of such objects. Most hats, however, have no special description. Do hats/helmets/etc give any bonus at all, if not explicitly mentioned in the item's description?

Q: Can I prevent Mass Effect 3 (PC) from attempting to connect to EA's servers when the game starts?

Console versions of Mass Effect 3 have an option (Extras --> Settings --> Online) to disable the connection to EA servers. Is there a way I can do this on my Windows 8.1 PC? I already have the game patched to not need Origin open (yes, I bought the game and DLC legally, I just hate having Origin ...

Microsoft is unhappy that people are unhappy that the only Halo game for Windows released in the last decade or so is Russia-only

murgatroid99

badp

@murgatroid99 They probably didn't expect people to break the geolocking in about 5 days since release I guess

murgatroid99

@badp But it always happens

badp

9:28 PM

See, rather than playing a game that hasn't been made with the western white young male demographic in mind, you should play nothing. It's for your best really.

murgatroid99

@badp I don't know what that means. It's just Halo

badp

They are learning how non-western-white-young-male demographics work by looking at slightly-less-western-white-young-male demographics.

Ktash

@John Someday I'll be 10k... someday

@Ktash It's just a terrible, reposted Minecraft question that you've probably seen 3 times by now in it's various incarnations

murgatroid99

Because as far as I understand, they literally just translated a Halo 3/Halo 4 multiplayer hybrid to Russian

Ktash

Just still so far from 10k :/

John

@Ktash Yes

9:39 PM

@murgatroid99 From what i am reading, it looks like they are just using Russia as a test?

Matt Giltaji

@AshleyNunn and russian hackers aced the test

or failed it, depending on your point of view

Ktash

hahaha

Chippies

@murgatroid99 Russian gamers are mainly PC gamers, so it's the only way to get into that market. From what I understand, it's kinda mmo'ish, so probably micro-transactions as well, and that stuff usually has to be adjusted depending on region

Ktash

Needs another reject. Copied from Wikipedia

Chippies

they'll probably eventually release a version of it for NA

GnomeSlice

9:43 PM

Bus went by futureshop and apparently their wifi is still on

murgatroid99

@Chippies I hope there aren't microtransactions for anything important, since that would basically defeat the entire purpose of Halo

Chippies

@murgatroid99 which is possibly why they're testing it in Russia, where most people don't care about Halo, unlike in NA

GnomeSlice

Probably skins and shit

Chippies

if they released a Halo MMO in NA and fucked it up with transactions, shit would hit the fan

GnomeSlice

Also I'm taking a different bus home so we'll see if I get lost

@GnomeSlice Nice knowing you

GnomeSlice

Defiance is pretty much halo MMO

Ktash

@Chippies Meh, I doubt it. They've messed up halo quite a bit, and the fans just keep coming back :P

GnomeSlice

Have they?

murgatroid99

@Ktash that's true

@GnomeSlice Halo MCC's multiplayer, which was it's primary draw, was basically unplayable for months

GnomeSlice

9:46 PM

I do miss playing halo 3 online

MCC?

Chippies

@Ktash I'll take your word for it, since I have only played first Halo on PC in single player :P

Batophobia

@GnomeSlice Master Chief Collection

Ktash

@GnomeSlice Yes. Bugs and glitches and butchered launches and lots of DLC and lots of issues. Also, imo, since 343 took over, the series has tanked faster than a brick out of a plane

Chippies

@Ktash but bugs and glitches get patched, whereas bad design choices are much harder to fix

murgatroid99

@Ktash Halo 4 wasn't that bad, and the multiplayer is pretty fun

Ktash

9:47 PM

@Chippies Hahaha, well, it's got both ;)

GnomeSlice

Who made halo reach

It was fun

Unionhawk

@Ktash What about a tank on a plane?

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice Bungie

GnomeSlice

Halo 3 is still the best

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Personally, I found the story to be tired, poorly done, and with no lasting draw. And multiplayer wasn't really fun for me. It tried to hard to not be Halo

Seriously, name a single multiplayer map you like, or even possibly remember at all, that was 343 and wasn't a remake

SaintWacko

9:49 PM

ODST was cool

Ktash

@SaintWacko ODST may actually have been my favorite entry

murgatroid99

@Ktash Admittedly, the most fun I have in the multiplayer is in this ridiculous CTF fiesta gametype on a straight line map

Batophobia

@Ktash I liked the first level of Halo 4

badp

Much like HL3, the crave for halo games on Windows is probably 80% wait and 20% substance

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Fiesta has always, and imo, will always be fun. But I don't need halo 4 for that. And even more, I don't like any of the maps, so it is worse on there than other games

@Batophobia single player or multiplayer?

badp

9:51 PM

but alas, 80 - 20 = 60 / 20 = 3. @KevinvanderVelden confirmed

Batophobia

@Ktash Single

murgatroid99

@Ktash I'm talking about a specific matchmaking game that pops up sometimes

SaintWacko

Man, now I feel like playing Halo online again

murgatroid99

9:51 PM

Fiesta CTF on a map where you can see almost everything from the starting positions

Ktash

@Batophobia Meh. Been done before, and the story just really wasn't there right from the start. At least for me

Batophobia

True, but still fun. Probably because it was reminiscent of Halo 2's first level

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Yeah, fiesta CTF is fun. But, again, I don't think I can name a single map that I would enjoy it on in 4 more than most halo 3 or 2 maps

Batophobia

and Halo 2 is best game

GnomeSlice

Halo 3 is best

Ktash

9:53 PM

Halo 2 is the most broken excuse of a game. And it just made it more fun lol

GnomeSlice

murgatroid99

@Batophobia I started playing Halo multiplayer after Halo 2 stopped being a thing, so my favorite will always be 3

GnomeSlice

Rocket race is the shit

Also Choppers

And bumper cars custom mode

Q: target attack strategy

This seems like a silly question but I think it's important to get it right.

@Frank are there other models where you need to mold the plastic yourself from a set of schematics or something?

Frank

@MattGiltaji The others are mostly planes, tanks, that sort of thing. I am unsure of what goes into them that's different from ours.

Ktash

@Fluttershy Haha, I have no problem with 343 studios themselves. They are just not Bungie. And when it comes to Halo, that's like saying they are not Picasso. Not that Halo is the pinnacle of gaming, but you really can't beat Bungie on Halo, imo

They also take a different approach to their video game development and story process, which doesn't fit with Halo

At least, with the existing Halo universe

@murgatroid99 What has changed in the ranking system to get players to silver 3 and then stop there?

murgatroid99

The fact that we don't have the answer does not immediately make the question off-topic

It is off topic due to developer intent

You can measure all you want, but at the end of the day it's just a "guess"

murgatroid99

Not only that the entire question is based off a false premise

@npst yes, but you could have asked as well, lol

Jason Berkan

@Rusemaster No. That's still not "intent".

Rusemaster

intention or purpose

Developer designed it

would that not make it "intent

user20683

that makes it "implement"

murgatroid99

@Rusemaster "Developer intent" is about what the developer intended to do as opposed to what they actually did.

npst

@MattGiltaji where would be the fun in that

user20683

as opposed to those things on pillows at hotels "implemints"

npst

still trying to figure out those two discussions in here

murgatroid99

If someone asked "What did Valve want to accomplish with the ratings system?", that would be off topic

@Rusemaster It's basically "why did they do it this way" - dev intent. Since this is a "what did they change", its not intent.

murgatroid99

I guess a better example would be: If someone asked "Why did Valve change the ratings system?", that would be developer intent. But asking "How did Valve change the ratings system?" is not developer intent

It may be that we can't find out the answer, but we don't know that a priori

@TheAce it's pretty darn fun.

@JasonBerkan Three. I have no interest in actually building them.

@Frank Only three. That's a horrible number. Space Marine squads are 10 men strong.

You could always find a 40K player in the store to gift them to.

user20683

@JasonBerkan 3 is Dev size in Dawn of War and technically minimum in a couple of editions of the game

@Unionhawk it took me couple of re-reads to realize what they meant by HNOCHING in the thumbnail...

Jason Berkan

@WorldEngineer I'm not 100% sure on the current edition, but I believe it is currently 5 or 10 only. None of my friends play Space Marines (though I have all the models from the Orks / Marines starter set).

user20683

@JasonBerkan O_o

user20683

how much has the game changed while I was away...?

user20683

11:22 PM

I'm used to a 50%+ Marines ratio

Jason Berkan

I've been assembling and painting the marines for my son.

user20683

@JasonBerkan what chapter?

npst

Remember to 8pool

Jason Berkan

@WorldEngineer Salamanders. I wasn't too happy he chose that, as I'm already painting all the Orks green. Another colour would be nice.

user20683

@JasonBerkan one of my favorites.

Q: What is the relevance of sexual relations in The Witcher Enhanced Edition?

I'm new to the Witcher franchise of games. Recently, a discussion about sexual relations catch the attention of the digital game community, regarding sexual content on The Witcher 3. I'm now playing The Witcher (first game) Enhanced Edition and notice that the sexual content exists and is part of...
