Q: What use is the shotgun for the heavy?

Typically my loadout for the heavy is: Minigun Sandvich Gloves of Running Urgently However, some of the players I play with (a 32-player server, but I have a reasonably close knit group of people I play Highlander with) have been moaning rather loudly about the amount of time I spend eating m...

don't feel the need to get it for me, I'm gonna sort it in a minute

What I hate worse is the updates you can't download in the background

user30

As in, all game updates

FallenAngelEyes

yeah -_-

Yesterday there was about 1gb of patches for GT5 to download, (plus a system update) and it must have been 3 hours before I could play

anyway, rb3! I wonder if I can still play expert.

FallenAngelEyes

Too bad you have it on PS3 or we could play together :(

Powerlord

@badp Hey, I get my rep primarily off of TF2 questions.

As long as you're merging questions, are you going to merge the Engy question asked today with the one asked... yesterday was it?

Since both are basically asking for tips on playing Engineer.

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord They're from the same user even! I don't get it. :|

Ronan Forman

How hard is playing engie? You build the things where they're needed and kill spies trying to stop you!

badp

@Powerlord gah

@RonanForman Killing spies is hard. :/

Powerlord

2:17 PM

Killing Engineers as Spy is easy. :)

(Most of the time)

badp

I actually never try to kill engies, just sap their stuff, get DR killed and swoop all their metal while cloaked

Wipqozn

@Powerlord Yeah, I find the same. You just to pay attention to what's going on.

Ronan Forman

hit them once with the southern h and then shoot them with the shotgun.

Powerlord

As soon as it becomes 2 Engys in the same nest, it makes it much harder.

badp

that should set them back enough that somebody else can take care of removing the engie for me

@Powerlord Then you go sap their teleports. :P

Either one or two will go rebuild them if applicable.

Wipqozn

2:18 PM

@badp I find sapping teleports is more useful then sentries most of the time.

badp

@Wipqozn I agree absolutely. That's my primary objective most of the time.

Sap and shoot entrances, then the rest gets much easier.

Powerlord

I always try to sap teleporters first, but they're also the easiest to unsap.

Ronan Forman

Dammit! I've got the perfect pose for a character but it doesn't work as he's a walrus!

Powerlord

@RonanForman Koo koo kachoo?

badp

@Powerlord Typically sap + enforcer works beautifully

even if they unsap, they need another wrench hit to repair

Ronan Forman

2:20 PM

@Powerlord kachoo kakoo koo

badp

enough time to land me at least one more shot and finish the TP.

Wipqozn

ANd they need to leave their sentry unattended if they want to rebuild it.

user30

@FallenAngelEyes Heh, it seems it's not a bad game to come back to

Wipqozn

NOt to mention if they decide to not rebuild it, which sometimes may be the best option, it really hurts the team.

Teleporters are the most useful building in my opinion.

FallenAngelEyes

Ronan Forman

@Powerlord It's the legs you see, well lack thereof

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes do you mean comment?

FallenAngelEyes

@ThomasMcDonald I only play Expert bass with reliability. I'm working my way up on Guitar, but I mostly stick to Hard there. I can only play a bit of Expert for that.

@Wipqozn I do, thanks! I'm watching comic book reviews so my brain got its wires crossed :P

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes You're welcome. I'm officially a hero now. Well, I was before, but now more so.

FallenAngelEyes

Grace Note

@RonanForman You could ask @Powerlord.

Powerlord

@GraceNote Why me? :O

Grace Note

You're a room owner now. ♪

Ronan Forman

i think if we replace "own choice of moderators" with "community elected overseeing representative" it might make it an easier read...

badp

@RonanForman You mean Grace no longer is a community elected overseeing representative?

Just because she's an employee it doesn't mean he's not been elected by the community at one point!

As for overseeing representative, she keeps that position still I believe, but you'd have to ask him.

Ronan Forman

2:35 PM

you'd have to ask her but i think he's doing more of the meta stuff when he starts her new job, so he's not really being a moderator for gaming as such.

FallenAngelEyes

@Grace Does the fishing tutorial guy have a name?

Wipqozn

@Powerlord owning the bridge is a double edged sword

Powerlord

Q: What's the difference between the fishing poles?

You start out with the Teacher's Pole, and I see that one of the rewards offered by the Fisherman who teaches you to fish is the Old Man's Pole. What's the difference between the poles offered in the game? Does the cursor for catching them move slower? Is the Impact area larger or does it do more...

chantelise

badp

@Manaಠдಠ actually are you sure that isn't the teacher?

Powerlord

@Lazers Where are you seeing this as a reward?

My first thought was that maybe the Old Man's Pole's official translation ended up being "Teacher's Pole"

Mana ಠдಠ

@Powerlord No, you're given a teacher's pole at the beginning of fishing, and then by catching enough fish you can get the old man's pole.

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord After you go through the Fisherman's tutorial, he has a sort of store he offers where you can trade fish for items

Mana ಠдಠ

2:55 PM

They're two distinct items.

Grace Note

Question, @Mana

Mana ಠдಠ

'sup @Grace

Grace Note

What pole were you using when fishing in the extra stage of the Zephyran Ruins?

Mana ಠдಠ

Teacher's pole. Didn't seem to have any problems.

Grace Note

Oh, you shouldn't have. That's what I wanted to confirm ♪

Powerlord

Clearly the difference is that the Blump Family Fishing Pole gives you +3 Fishing. (Kudos if you get the reference)

Wipqozn

@Manaಠдಠ is that you?

Mana ಠдಠ

slaps Powerlord This is not WoW.

@Wipqozn uhm. Yes?

@Manaಠдಠ Thought so.

It has a replacement as I recall, but heck if I remember the name.

@RavenDreamer Several days, at least.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer I'm honestly conflicted. It'd be great visibility for the site but uuugh, I don't agree with the always online DRM or the fact that you can't back up your save game at all.

Q: Can I disable the background video effects?

While playing effects/filters will occasionally be added to the video that runs in the background. While some of them are not so noticeable (b&w), others are incredibly distracting (over the top motion blur, faux-overexposure), to the point where it's difficult to concentrate on the track in ...

Highly Relevant: pc.ign.com/articles/118/1186501p1.html

Take note Blizzard!

Also. I think Skyrim is going to be more relevant than Diablo III.

In terms of next big game release.

Even if half the questions become, "Well, if you look here on the unofficial Elder SCrolls Wiki..."

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer Sounds like Nethack

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote bwha, hm?

That's what a lot of the nethack answers are, you mean?

To go to the conference and talk up the site, I imagine.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer Maybe. I'd like to go to Gamescom so I can do some coverage for the site there.

Raven Dreamer

Don't we need to give her buisness cards first, to avoid uncomfortable shirt-staring? :P

Or that.

@FallenAngelEyes really...? :/ that sucks. I thought about buying one, but not if I can't wash it

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Yeah, he said the colors faded :(

Brant

I haven't washed mine yet. Or worn it.

I still have a couple A Tale In The Desert t-shirts I bought back in 2003 that I never wore once...

FallenAngelEyes

Mine's in the wash right now, gonna see how it is when it comes out

We don't have a dryer though, so I wonder if that'll make a difference

I've been meaning to get back to GW1 and get some more HoM points, but I guess I still have some time

Grace Note

@RavenDreamer We're hoping to provide swag for Fallen to distribute. Shirts and stickers, mostly.

Apparently, the stickers have been big hits, even bigger than business cards were.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote I hope that gets figured out quickly then. :/ Packages from the US tend to take around 2-2.5 weeks to get here.

sjohnston

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I started out really excited about Old Republic, but then they started showing more gameplay, and gushing endlessly about how much talking there is in the game (OMG, 92 days of voiceover content for me to skip? YAY!)

I will buy it, but I don't have high hopes

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes I've been shooting to get this done as early as feasible. It's been a matter of figuring out who to talk to, as it were.

FallenAngelEyes

@sjohnston Yeah... admittedly, they have never claimed that they want to revolutionize actual gameplay experience as much as GW2 wants to, but GW2's shaking up of MMO archetypes really interests me.

@GraceNote No problem. :) If it doesn't get here in time, am I allowed to print off my own cards or something to take?

Brant

3:24 PM

@FallenAngelEyes Me too, I like how anti-trinity they are.

FallenAngelEyes

@Brant Yes, I really like this.

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes We could suggest that. I know someone else once spoke of that exact same tactic before, though I don't know how that fell through.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Okay cool.

Also the person who works at the game store closest to me seemed pretty interested in our site

Brant

Did you write down the name for him? :P

FallenAngelEyes

I'm wondering if we could ask to maybe display a poster in the store or cards or something

Grace Note

3:27 PM

@FallenAngelEyes Can you convince him to... yeah, do exactly that? ♪

DIY was discussing doing something just like that, actually.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote I wanted to ask here first if that would be allowed before bringing it up to him.

And see what's even available to offer

Grace Note

Well, we don't have any official posters. That said, I'd check with Brett White - he's our awesome promotions guy.

Brant

Posters would be neat.

FallenAngelEyes

I have a good relationship with the store and the guy who works there. We go there pretty much every week (even if we don't always buy something) and we've spent uh... a lot of money there, so we're known there as good customers.

Brant

Although I don't know if our logo would really look good blown up poster-size...

Grace Note

3:29 PM

@Brant That's okay. We'll just expand some text like, say, "My children are useless".

@FallenAngelEyes dang :/ Yeah I thought they were still saying that.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote They said that may or may not get changed depending on audience reaction and time they have

@Wipqozn But like I said, they said they're going to have a big announcement at Gamescom, so people are (hesitantly) speculating that it may be either a beta date or release date

Grace Note

Hah, they actually looked into that.

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Probably a beta date. I was just looking on the wiki and...

> ArenaNet will be conducting small closed alpha and beta tests in 2011.[39] The feedback from these tests will determine when they will do public beta tests and ship the game.

So I assume it will be a beta date, and after the beta they will announce the release date, or an estimate.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Yeah, people jumped all over that small tidbit of news when it came out.

I've been waiting 4 years, I can wait a little longer.

Wipqozn
