@GnomeSlice Sounds awfully like Victoria 1.

Yuki

@Doc I would assume because it's harder to get stuff that's good for the basegame since those probabilities are weighted towards expansion-only stuff.

Arperum

@Doc The game just doesn't feel complete anymore without the expansion. Which is annoying. I've never seen a non-freeplay stuff pay-us-more this much in your face.

@Yuki Except it's not. None of the loot I've found has been expansion only with the exception of some blacksmith upgrade items - which aren't used by basegame any more so doesn't really matter

@Arperum The ONLY part in game that makes you realize there's more after expansion is that you can see another upgrade for the blacksmith and will occasionally find the items needed to upgrade it.

Foiled is a 2 player game only. Sorry.

Doc

15:04

@Arperum and I suppose the occasional books you find that mention the Crusader order, which doesn't have any effect on gameplay, it's just more lore.

Arperum

@Doc No. You find crap, including legendary crafting stuff. The templar is in the character selection screen, jeweler has the same trhing as the blacksmith, you have an option in the menu for playing the other mode, but you can't select it because expansion only.

Yuki

> An adventure game where you stop breathing if you don't find humans through terrorism.

Arperum

And there is something about bloodgems or something on the bottom of your inventoryscreen.

Yuki

@Arperum Yeah, the Crusader in the character creation screen annoyed me.

Doc

@Arperum They're treating it like an MMO shrug Play WoW without the expansions, or any other subscription based MMO with expansions where you haven't bought it. same shit, different game. Nothing especially different about Blizzard's handling of it in D3

Arperum

15:06

@Yuki The whole part of EXPANSION BUY NOW thing annoys me to no end. I preordered a physical copy, stop pushing it in my face goddammit.

Yuki

> An MMO where you herd numbers because aliens.

Because aliens.

Aleins.

Arperum

@Doc And it isn't an MMO. So it shouldn't be treated like one.

SaintWacko

That is the source of every single problem with D3. Blizzard is treating it like an MMO, and it's not

StrixVaria

15:08

@SaintWacko The state of non-expansion D3 post-expansion is going to be terrible.

Especially since the new way items drop means you can't find items as good as you could before the patch.

Martin Sojka

@Arperum Dragon Age: Origins had an NPC (Levi Dryden) in your party camp (where you could go to chose party members and have sex) whose only role was to sell you DLCs. He is even marked as giving you a quest, but says basically "Sorry, you have to pay us $$$ to follow this quest." unless you have the DLC installed.

StrixVaria

It's most obvious on weapons.

Yuki

Wasn't vanilla D2 post-LoD kinda sucky too?

StrixVaria

@Yuki Yeah it was awful.

But it wasn't broken, which current D3 is.

Maybe they'll fix it as they realize, though.

Arperum

@StrixVaria This. D2 without expansion is perfectly playable. Sacred 2 without expansion is perfectly playable, Titan quest without expansion is perfectly playable. I'm not saying better or anything, just still perfectly viable option.

Doc

15:10

D3 without expansion is perfectly playable too. So there's some things you can't do. Hiding it wouldn't change the fact that you can't do it...

Arperum

Add the expansion and it gets better.

StrixVaria

@Doc When items drop now, they roll at the level of the monster you killed. Since monsters now scale to your level, the highest monsters you can see are level 60. This means the highest item level that can drop now is level 60. Items used to be able to drop up to level 63. On weapons, this is a huge decrease in base DPS, to the point where new weapon drops are terribad. This will be fixed by getting the expansion, but if you don't get it it's still broken.

Arperum

@Doc No. There is no base D3. Since everything is expansion.

StrixVaria

@isthisbetter CC @IanPugsley

@Arperum The example I just gave might get fixed. There is definitely a huge amount of in-game advertising to try to push the expansion, though, which I don't like.

@MartinSojka Nah, that's another world.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Because it went from "I want to use Fire Wall, so I'll put 20 points in Fire Wall and I have 100 points for other things" to "I want to use Fire Wall, so I'll put 20 points in Fire Wall and 20 in Fire Bolt and 20 in Fireball and 20 in Inferno or whatever the other skill was called and now I don't have other skills for other things."

Every time you die in Dark Souls 2, your maximum HP decreases slightly, and it continues to decrease more and more after each death until your maximum HP is reduced to about 50% of its normal value.

Basically, in Dark souls 2 when you die you turn into "hollow form".

Q: Dropping Quests in Hearthstone

In Blizzard's Hearthstone, you are given the option of "dropping" a quest one time (per quest.) This will replace it with a "random" quest. The trouble is, some quests are worth 40 gold, others 60 and one is 100 gold. My question is, if you drop a 60 gold quest, will you always be given another...

StrixVaria

@Frank Yeah, on Torment 1 it's irrelevant, but on Torment 2-3 it's great.

Origami Robot

@Doc According to the forums, skill modifiers are primary.

Doc

@OrigamiRobot Take a look at the profile I linked earlier. Several pieces of gear have %dmg modifiers in secondary slots

Like the belt giving + Deadly Reach dmg

eh, "several" - I apparently switched out my pants that gave +% dmg, but the belt is still an example

Origami Robot

Oh, individual skill modifiers. Yes.

StrixVaria

So like +% damage to Sweeping Wind is secondary, but +% fire damage is primary?

Origami Robot

16:24

I thought you meant like +X% to [element] skills.

Doc

@StrixVaria correct

StrixVaria

So skill damage is at least 1 useful secondary.

I can't think of others yet.

Doc

@StrixVaria + (element) resist?

not super useful but

Hey, for all I know, the 4/2 split is outdated.

Specific elemental resistances are at least not worthless.

@StrixVaria I still say things like +x% chance to blind are useful, certainly in higher torments

StrixVaria

Diamonds are significantly better in armor than primary stat, on average, though.

We'll see how the secondaries go. Maybe they're better than I give them credit for.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Armor sockets are primary, but weapons sockets are secondary.

Which is really backwards to me.

Yeah that's strange.

I can see it always being primary.

Armor sockets being secondary would be too good with diamonds existing now.

@Sterno There's a legendary crossbow with that (unless they changed it with the patch).

Sterno

IMO 2-handers should get 2 sockets

StrixVaria

@Sterno That would be OP with the new crusader passive.

I'm actually kind of torn about the new Crusader passive because of that.

Origami Robot

@Sterno Agree. The main advantage to dual wielding is 2 sockets.

StrixVaria

16:30

They make 2h weapons relevant, but only for the Crusader, and now they can't make 2h weapons more relevant for other classes because that would make the Crusader OP.

Sterno

@StrixVaria But the new crusader passive kind of sucks without it, so it sucks either way

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria They could add 2 sockets as an option for the class specific 2-handers.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot True, that could work.

Or they could just make 2-socket 2-handers an option always.

Origami Robot

Then Int classes lose out though

StrixVaria

Since the Crusader has to use a shield his damage is still kind of limited.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Ladder for traders, non-ladder for ~~filthy casuals~~ self-founders.

Make everyone happy.

Yuki

@Wipqozn Unfortunately, due to the way the Chinese legal system works (read: doesn't work), this is a common practice in China.

StrixVaria

16:39

@OrigamiRobot As someone who doesn't enjoy trading at all, I would also play on the ladder.

Yuki

To the point where people refuse to help other people out of fear of being sued.

StrixVaria

I love the idea of starting over new self-found characters with nothing.

Wipqozn

@Yuki Yeah, I know. It's fucked up.

Yuki

The Chinese legal system is... kinda backwards.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria NL being self found only would actually fix a huge problem with NL. The fact that everyone is super geared.

Yuki

16:41

It wasn't too long ago that attorneys used to be criminalized for protecting their clients. The logic was "this person is guilty, why are you defending him? If you are, you must be a criminal too".

Sterno

The US needs a law where if your lawsuit is deemed suitably ridiculous, you're banished to Canada.

Origami Robot

@Sterno Specifically, to Nova Scotia to live with @Wipqozn.

Jason Berkan

@Sterno Here, if you lose, you are responsible for all the court fees. Makes you less likely to sue a big corporation unless you are sure you will win.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot but then the number of ridiculous lawsuits would rise!

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Also, you can do that on NL too.

Sterno

16:43

@OrigamiRobot Where they all get priority to play DS2 over him.

spugsley

HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI

Origami Robot

Well, I guess you'd keep paragon levels

Wipqozn

@Sterno You're a monster

spugsley

@OrigamiRobot a fate worse than death :o

Wipqozn

oh god

Dark Souls 2 has become my SkyDrift.

Yuki

16:44

Sci-fi space deathmatch short.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot In theory the Ladder would reset my gold and Blacksmith levels and stuff, and give me a separate empty stash. It makes a difference.

Sterno

I do need a name for my son.

Yuki

@spugsley Hello.

Sterno

I'm not sure Dark Souls 2 has the right ring though.

Yuki

Question: what's the fastest way to grind for experience on D3?

Wipqozn

16:44

@Sterno Name him Wipqozn.

Yuki

I've finished the campaign, so I don't really care about following the story anymore.

spugsley

@Sterno omg I am great at baby names. My first child is going to be named Dick Skeleton Pugsley

Wipqozn

@Yuki By playing Dark Souls 2 instead.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Yea, I forgot about all the stuff shared between characters. It's easy to forget when you only have one character.

Sterno

@spugsley So sad for him that the name WILL ALREADY BE TAKEN BY ME

spugsley

16:45

@Sterno YOU MONSTER :O

Sterno

That's okay... your son can be named Dick Skeleton 2. Or DS2 for short. That should make @Wipqozn happy.

StrixVaria

@spugsley Are you getting RoS?

Origami Robot

@Sterno Are you getting DS2 on PC?

spugsley

I had a lot of other ones but I don't remember any of them. Someone work their chat search magic and find out what I wanted to name my first child. Go!

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot I already bought it for PS3

but maybe :P

Origami Robot

16:46

What a monster.

@LessPop_MoreFizz lol I'm absolutely naming my first child Rick Spugsley Pugsley

Aug 26 '13 at 1:54, by spugsley

I think I want to name my first child Strangelove

Apr 20 '13 at 3:16, by spugsley

I think I'm going to name my first child Bonerman

Jul 31 '13 at 16:52, by spugsley

Brilliant. I have another name for my first child: Penishugger

spugsley

HAHAHAHA I'm fucking amazing

Jason Berkan

Your poor child...

Origami Robot

@JasonBerkan It's ok, Ian has a little more sense than that.

spugsley

16:48

I really really really want to name my first child Chippies :( but Ian won't let me

2

Chippies is the most adorable name

2

Origami Robot

Name your first child @GnomeSlice. With the @ and everything.

Wipqozn

@spugsley TIL @spugsley actually plans to have children.

Yuki

> A real-time strategy game where you touch cyborgs in the future.

spugsley

@Wipqozn only so I can give them fucking amazing names. But then I'll abandon them. But I'll make sure they have their nametag on so people know what to call them. "Hello. My name is Bonerman."

Wipqozn

@spugsley You're going to make such a good mother

Sterno

16:50

You can name your loot goblin Chippies

spugsley

@Wipqozn I know. That kid will grow up and be like "How fucking amazing was my mother to give me the greatest name in the world? I'm proud to be Penishugger."

@Sterno I already abandoned him

Sterno

@spugsley You're a horrible person.

StrixVaria

I wonder if anyone has named their kid something with a hashtag yet.

Jason Berkan

@spugsley What colour is the sky in your world?

Sterno

He's cold and hungry and lootless somewhere.

spugsley

16:51

@JasonBerkan sky? We have no sky here.

Origami Robot

@JasonBerkan What's a colour?

Sterno

I know there has been a kid named "hashtag", but I don't know about "#awesomebaby"

spugsley

@Sterno he only picks up white items and I never find them so he's stupid and pointless and the worst

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria I overheard some music teachers talking about their kids asking if what hashtags they should play in the key of G.

Sterno

Name your kid "null". Watch government databases everywhere blow up.

Q: where to post DotA2 features request!

I would like to suggest a lot of features which I think wonderful to dota2 dev team, where can I post it ? I checked dev.dota2.com but there're no sub-forum in that for post feature request.

dota-2

Yuki

@Lazers ... Not here.

StrixVaria

@Sterno Governments don't have databases. They just have big rooms full of unsorted filing cabinets.

@JasonBerkan Really, though, this kills me.

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria I, being the pedantic computer scientist, pointed out that hashtags and sharps are different glyphs.

Yuki

@StrixVaria Governments don't have big rooms full of unsorted filing cabinets, they just have massive basements filled with Chinese graduate students instructed to memorize long lists of data.

Origami Robot

16:56

@Yuki flagged

Wipqozn

@Yuki Oh, so that's where you work!

Yuki

@Wipqozn Used to work. I tripped up and forgot one line of data.

Apparently, this "Barack Obama" guy is kinda important and forgetting his info got me canned.

Wipqozn

@Yuki Barack Obama? Sounds like a muslim terrorist who hates freedom! I DEMAND TO SEE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
