but Diablo 2 doesn't work on my PC anymore so can't play it. and it was a copy and paste copy from a friend

ToxicFrog

@Memor-X Diablo 1 was a slower and, generally, more difficult experience than D2; it was more methodical.

Closer, I think, to its origins as an Angband descendant.

Avery

@Memor-X right, that was you

I should play torchlight.

ToxicFrog

D2 improved a lot -- not just more content, but more variation between character classes, a much better UI, the stash -- but also made it a lot more run-and-gun, so to speak.

What I really want is something that strikes a balance between D1 and D2 -- I like the stash, but I also like all character classes being able to learn at least a bit of magic, and having to worry about gold and supplies even in the late game, and the smaller, nastier fights.

I think the Soldak games -- Din's Curse in particular -- are the closest I've seen.

If there's one thing all these games have in common it's that Identification is a worthless garbage mechanic, though~

(they should have ditched it in D1, where it barely does anything, and they definitely should have ditched it in D2 where it does nothing at all)

Memor-X

@ToxicFrog i suppose it useful if you want a gambling shop but yeh it's kinda a pain

Avery

speaking of diablo, I believe the necromancer in D3 is discounted to 10eur if anyone wants to pick it up

Private Pansy

@Avery The UI still feels quite clunky, and the simulation can be better, but when everything comes together, the game is pure magic

ToxicFrog

11:43

@Memor-X you don't need that for the gambling shops, though, you just need the engine to support showing you an item without showing you its stats.

Avery

ugh some wine update broke sounds on MAME and now I can't play TGM (tetris the grand master) with sound and the game is muuuch more fun with the sounds.

ToxicFrog

Gambling as a mechanic is useless in D2 because ID scrolls are cheap and plentiful and halfway through act 1 you get unlimited free ID anyways.

Er

Identify as a mechanic is useless, rather.

Chippies

@ToxicFrog at least in D3 they made it free

Private Pansy

@ToxicFrog Isn't there vendor that will sell you unidentified stuff

ToxicFrog

In D1 it matters slightly more because the cost of ID never gets completely trivial and the scrolls aren't super common, but it still never becomes a significant tax.

Private Pansy

11:45

So that's gambling-ish

Chippies

@ToxicFrog it plays on the whole anticipation thing that human mind is so fond of

ToxicFrog

And unlike Angband there's no real danger to using un-ID'd stuff, either

Chippies

you get an item and you're like holy crap, what's that? and you have to wait a few seconds to find out

ToxicFrog

@PrivatePansy in D1? No. You may be thinking of Wirt?

Chippies

and believe it or not, that gets you pumped

@ToxicFrog D2 had that vendor

ToxicFrog

11:46

He sells one random item and charges you money to even look at it, but once you look at it you know what it is (and it's almost always something useless like a scroll of chain lightining)

@Chippies yeah, that was mentioned a few messages ago

Chippies

@ToxicFrog oh well, that's what @PrivatePansy was talking about :P

ToxicFrog

And I replied that you can have a gambling shop without needing ID as a game mechanic

Chippies

Clickbait Psychology: Why Your Brain Wants You to Click

►

ToxicFrog

Anyways, the only point I'm trying to make is that identification in D1/D2 has effectively zero gameplay weight. It's a terrible mechanic in (say) Nethack for other reasons, but there it does actually have significant effects on how you play and could potentially be fixed to be not-terrible.

Chippies

this pretty much applies to ID mechanics, imho

ID mechanic was done well in D3

ToxicFrog

In Diablo it's basically "you found a cool item, but you need to click two extra buttons before you can actually use it"

Chippies

D2 was annoying because you needed to carry extra junk with you in your already limited inventory

ToxicFrog

In D3 it's just "super-rare items require you to wait through a loading bar before you can use them", which is I guess better than "absolutely everything that isn't trash requires you to" but I would not call "well done"

Chippies

11:50

and I never played D1 enough to know much about ID issues

ToxicFrog

In D1 it's basically the same as D2, except the cost of ID scrolls never gets completely trivial and Cain always charges you for ID

But on the flip side you can actually learn the ID spell (and one of the expansion classes starts with it)

Chippies

minecraft minecraft-spigot

ToxicFrog

@Chippies I legitimately do not understand the appeal. If you enjoy that anticipation, don't you already get it from the time between you see the item drop and being able to actually pick it up and look at it in your inventory?

Chippies

eventually though it came to a point where you get so many legendaries, you don't really care about it anymore

@ToxicFrog I never said it appeals to me, I'm just explaining one of the reasons why it's there

@ToxicFrog you can hold ctrl to see the stats on the ground

or maybe it's alt, don't remember

these days it's just a nuisance and the psychology effect is trivial

at least in late game

ToxicFrog

11:53

So make it so legendaries don't show stats until you pick them up?

...yes, that's my point!

Chippies

@ToxicFrog I'd imagine that would require some reworking of the engine

plus ID has been part of the series since the beginning

all diablo-clones have the ID mechanic

afaik

ToxicFrog

So, what happened is that Diablo 1 was very heavily inspired by Angband (the original design doc was "Angband, but with graphics"), and got a watered-down version of Angband's ID mechanics

D2 watered those down every further until they had no impact on gameplay at all

And then everyone else copied D2

I am coming at this from the Angband/Nethack perspective (mostly Nethack, because I've played a lot more of that) where ID has actual gameplay weight and significantly informs your decisions.

In Nethack, there's two layers of identification -- "what do items of this type do" (all wand/scroll/potion descriptions are shuffled when you start a new game, so when you find e.g. a blue potion you don't know if it's restore mana like it was last time, or poison)

And "what enchantments does this specific item have", e.g. is it cursed, flameproof, +n, etc.

Cursed items are a big deal; cursed consumables usually do something harmful even if they would normally help, and cursed equipment doesn't just lower your stats, it can't be removed without (difficult to find) magical or divine intervention.

Scrolls of ID are quite rare (and there's no guaranteed to place to buy them), and books of ID, even if your character can learn the spell, are a once-every-20-games thing.

Memor-X

The IT Crowd- Browser

►

ToxicFrog

But there's also ways to "incompletely" ID things -- like , an altar won't tell if you what items are, but will tell you which ones are blessed or cursed (and thus safe-ish to experiment with); testing unknown wands on the floor or on passing enemies can tell you what they are or at least give hints, etc.

This is the kind of thing I mean when I say that ID in Diablo "has no gameplay weight".

Chippies

12:09

there was some arpg that had an ID mechanic, I forget which one it was, Torchlight 2 maybe, that allowed you to use unidentified gear and if you ID'd, it could be cursed too

ToxicFrog

It does not, in any way, affect what decisions you make, or act as any sort of meaningful resource sink.

Chippies

was kinda interesting, but overall meaningless

ToxicFrog

Yeah, D1 had that, and it was completely meaningless because (a) the effects of the curses were extremely minor and (b) you could just un-equip the item.

Chippies

one of the curses was that you couldn't unequip it without removing the curse

actually I think it was Wizardry 8

ToxicFrog

Aah

Yeah, that's what "cursed" originally meant.

Chippies

12:10

yeah, that was probably the only curse :P

been a long time since I played that

ToxicFrog

(It's not even necessarily a bad thing on its own -- oh no, my +7 flameproof rustproof silver dragon mail is cursed, but why would I ever want to remove it in the first place?)

Chippies

@ToxicFrog because you might get something better, which was usually the case

also, there were often downsides to those items too

like reducing some stats or something

ToxicFrog

@Chippies the armour I just described is the best possible endgame armour for most nethack characters, so

Chippies

@ToxicFrog DLC!

ToxicFrog

And yeah, in NH curses are usually generated in conjunction with negative effects, or in consumables they make the effects negative

Like, a scroll of earth creates a wall of rocks around you, a cursed scroll of earth drops a rock on your head.

Chippies

12:12

the funny thing is, I'm pretty sure in Wizardry 8, as long as you didn't ID the item, you wouldn't get the cursed effect

ToxicFrog

o.O

Chippies

or maybe that part was in a different game

gah, I've played so many RPGs I can't remember all mechanics

I think that part was in Torchlight 2

ToxicFrog

I think it worked like that in D1, but I'm not sure.

Of course, ID isn't actually good in Nethack because price-identification is a thing, which is unbearably tedious but also reliable and gives you a huge advantage

But I think it could be made good.

Chippies

I do know that it was 99% of the time profitable to ID the gear before vendoring it

ToxicFrog

Whereas in Diablo-descended ARPGs it adds absolutely nothing to the game.

Chippies

12:14

it's a minor gold sink in the early levels (pre-D3)

it just adds artificial depth, I guess

it seems like there's more depth to the game than there actually is

Not long ago, there was service for searching trade routes (sell-buy), which was very popular. Now, the service is temporary down and I would like to ask about similar tool, which is able to substitute this service. This was the original service: https://web.archive.org/web/20161111152852/https...

@MBraedley my rule of thumb is if you're ordering anything you don't want lost, don't use UPS, because they will just leave it at your door regardless if you're home or not, if it's raining or not and if it's a 10$ item or 1000$ item

Fluttershy

@Chippies Everything I've read says wait til 240, but it's notoriously difficult getting to 240 without that initial boost, in my experience. So I always turn in faction tokens at 20 to get that boost.

Chippies

@Fluttershy blue gear has a softcap at 260 apparently

Fluttershy

And they say it's best to hold out on turning in milestones, but yeah, if it's "turn in now, or lose on Tuesday" I always turn in.

Chippies

so, 240 is reasonable I guess

Fluttershy

@Chippies It does, but I never seemed to get blue drops of 260 til I was already at 240. lol

Chippies

14:45

@Fluttershy blue drops can drop at -2 to +4 of your base power

so you need to gradually build it up

Fluttershy

Also, @Chippies and @Yuuki, when you finish the campaign, new missions unlock on each planet/moon. You want to wait until you're around 265 or 270 to do those. They each give an exotic, and you want those to be as close to 305 as possible.

They're the blue crown missions. Devrim, Sloane, Failsafe, and Asher start them. Or they start very near them.

Chippies

@Fluttershy that's good to know, I was thinking about doing them, but I figured maybe I should wait

@Fluttershy do adventures "reset"? As in, can I run out of them or will there always be more?

Fluttershy

@Chippies You can always infuse to increase their power. But that costs legendary shards and a weapon.

@Chippies Adventures are one time only. But you can get rewards each week for replaying story missions from Ikora.

Oh wait.

Once you complete all of them, they become a daily reset thing. Four will reset each day, apparently?

Chippies

@Fluttershy that's also good to know :D

Fluttershy

@Chippies I haven't finished all of them, so I can't confirm, but that seems to be how they work.

Also, you saw where I said to save any blue/purple scout rifles you get, right?

Yuuki

14:56

Does it matter which slot they're in?

Chippies

@Fluttershy yeah, saw that. You need 5

Yuuki

I think I have like 4.

fredley

7

Fluttershy

@Chippies Yep. Also, Eurogamer confirmed that once you finish all 30 adventures, they reset.

@Yuuki Nope. Just have to be blue or better.

Chippies

@Fluttershy where do you get the quest from anyway? And I'm guessing it should be saved for as late as possible?

Yuuki

15:13

TIL that while it's cool to stick Marauders and Gladiators with grenades, you should probably not do that cool thing.

Fluttershy

@Chippies The blue crown from Devrim Kay.

Chippies

@Fluttershy alright, so it'll be easy to avoid it :)

Avery

ugh

if I was allowed to buy games for people outside turkey (steam has a separate region for turkey, you can't gift games outside it) I'd buy very nice horror games for y'all

and by horror game I mean this thing

also wtf did they put in the game to guarantee 18+ rating hot damn

well I guess I'm not playing this masterpiece.

goes back to ladykiller

sick burn

Private Pansy

15:34

@Avery Yes, I had the exact same problem

There isn't even the option of using another currency and paying US/EU prices

Avery

yeah I'm willing to do that for some quality bridge trolling

OH WAIT

I should mail the developers and buy keys in bulk

Chippies

@Fluttershy is that the limit or can I still get more but it's hidden?

if that's the limit, it's kinda dumb :x

Private Pansy

@fredley So... how did this get into @badp's inventory in the first place?

Avery

okay I ugh

so I need to stop renaming people randomly because I can't take the seriously

Private Pansy

15:51

So this is how you get onto the leaderboard

Yay physics!

badp

@PrivatePansy I actually do not remember, it's been a while

@fredley loves gifts, it's true

remember DOTA 2 invites?

those were good times

Tim Stone

@PrivatePansy ...Damnit

Avery

oh my god

this site doesn't allow pasting CC info.

Yuuki

Whoo, campaign done and I'm level 20.

Avery

16:06

WHY DO I NEED TO TYPE 16 NUMBERS THAT ARE HIDDEN BEHIND DOTS IN KEEPASS

user15026

...because they don't allow you to paste the info for "security reasons"

Avery

But those reasons are probably not good reasons

I mean, I really can't see any good reasons

Tim Stone

The best way to protect the money in your bank account is to make sure it's as hard as possible for you to spend it head_tap.gif

Avery

that makes sense!

thanks warframe for saving my money.

Yuuki

@Fluttershy So what do I do with Gunsmith's Materials?

Should I wait on them until later?

user15026

16:11

(Sorry, I realize this cold is not making me as kind as I want to be)

Avery

@Ash (don't worry, I shouldn't go all attack-ey on the tiniest thing anyways)

Chippies

@Yuuki you can trade them in for rep levels -> legendaries, but it's better to wait for when you are 240+ power level

or at least as high power level as you comfortably can be

Avery

(I had been noticing lately that I do that quite often and well, I want to try and reduce that)

Yuuki

Should I wait until later before I turn in all the final campaign quests?

Because Zavala wants to give me an Exotic Engram.

Chippies

@Yuuki I'm not sure if engram power level is generated on acquiring or on redeeming...

I would still give it in though, because you will get a vehicle and other stuffs

plus you'll unlock missions that will actually let you progress

and milestones and whatnot

so, yeah, give in the main story quests

Yuuki

16:24

Ugh, Tess gave me 3 Bright Engrams.

I guess I have to open them because Engrams and determined on acquiring?

Chippies

@Yuuki don't worry about engrams, you get them as you level up after lv20, so you won't be able to avoid them anyway

or at least you don';t want to avoid them

Yuuki

How do I summon my bike?

Never mind, got it.

It's always a good day when you discover the office Halloween candy supply and there's a note on it that says "take a bunch"

ToxicFrog

Yum

Oh my, halloween is next week isn't it

user15026

Tuesday!
