After I killed the final boss of of the Pre-Sequel a message popped up that said that I have unlocked the "True Vault Hunter Mode". It also said that the enemies are tougher, the loot better and that you can level up even further. Now while this provides some information It doesn't really cover ...

that was actually a typo

@MartinSojka Is it some sort of play on zeit meaning "day" (austrian) or "era" (german)?

Martin Sojka

@badp No, not a word play as such. "Time" has the same meaning in English ("What time is it?" vs. "Anschluss time!").

5pike

@badp No, its about the annexation of Austria by Germany in 1938

Martin Sojka

Anschluss

The Anschluss ([ˈʔanʃlʊs] ( ) was the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany in March 1938. At the time of the event, and until the German orthography reform of 1996, it was spelled Anschluß (meaning "connection" or union, political annexation); and was also known as the Anschluss Österreichs ( pronunciation ). This was in contrast with the Anschluss movement (Austria and Germany united as one country), which had been attempted since as early as 1918 when the Republic of German-Austria attempted union with Germany but was forbidden both the union and the continued use of that name by the Treaty...

Martin Sojka

Flag of the North German Federation, later used by the German Empire and the Weimar Republic (but not by the Nazi Germany, for some reason).

Weimar Republic used the current one from 1919 on, so it's mostly a "German Empire" reference.

@AshleyNunn Okay. Didn't realize profanity was an issue.

Profanity is usually not an issue when it's normal type size

The issue is neither the profanity nor the font size, HTH.

user15026

@Wipqozn finished Mistborn yet?

Shelby115

12:56

Anyone know any good MMOs for small groups (About 5 people)?

We all like different things so I'm at a loss of an MMO, what one of us likes the rest hate lol.

Koviko

@Shelby115 Good is really subjective.

Shelby115

Yeah, that's the issue hehe.

Koviko

WoW has 5-man dungeons, GW2 has 5-man dungeons & fractals, TSW has 5-man dungeons and raids, ESO has 4-man dungeons

But they are all fairly different playstyles

Shelby115

Like I love mechanically strong MMOs like Forsaken World. Strong Jobs, Gear System, Talents are well balanced, etc.

One member is similar to me, another is very PVP Heavy, and the other one just wants it to not be a grind (and prefers it to be cute)

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Sadly, no. My friends wanted to hang out with me this weekend, so I didn't get to do much reading. HAving people who love you is the worst.

Sconibulus

12:59

D&D can do all of those things

although it's not necessarily online

user15026

@wipqozn how terrible.

Shelby115

:P I've always wanted to do D&D but it is just too much learning to start on my own

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn So I'm only on page 307. I still could finish it this week, but I'm not sure if I will. I'm going to play evolve some tonight and tomorrow, which will eat into reading time.

user15026

Apparently an erotic one direction fanfic got picked up for a book deal ala 50 shades. Because we totally need more of that.

user15026

@wipqozn but I wanna know what you think of the end!

Wipqozn

13:01

I learned recently 50 shades started out as a twilight fanfic.

user15026

@wipqozn yes, yes it did. And it shows.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn If the evolve wasn't an alpha which ends in 2 days I'd just read, but it is and it does.

@AshleyNunn Was it still a better love story than Twilight?

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn Could it be a worse love story?

user15026

@wipqozn no, it was a creepy stalker bad bdsm terrible pile of crap.

Martin Sojka

@Shelby115 I'll plug PlanetSide 2 here. FPS, good 5 man teams can concentrate on plain infantry combat (+ directing others in a squad), or create small air squads (Liberator + two fighters or Liberator + Valkyrie duo, or two Valkyries), or tank team (any combination of MBTs, Harassers and Lightnings) or switch around at any time.

Shelby115

13:03

Are there many MMOs with PVP as an early option? (The PVP member of my group is the one being the most difficult).

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn So it's just twilight + bdsm?

because "creepy stalker" describes Twilight pretty well.

Shelby115

I Guess I should specify MMO-RPG (FPSs won't do :/)

Wipqozn

Twilight is a good example of why people shouldn't be allowed to have opinions though.

Martin Sojka

PS2 is PvP only, you are as effective as you'll ever be after a few days of play, the others just add to your versatility.

Sconibulus

I think the only MMORPG I liked was an old MUD, and I've since forgotten its name...

but you could totally MUD it

Rapitor

@Wipqozn twilight with an incredibly abusive relationship disguised as bdsm

Martin Sojka

Hmm. I'm not sure I ever played an MMORPG which would fit the description. Not that no such thing exists, I just like them with a strong PvP focus. Maybe something new like ArcheAge ...

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I emssed up everything about this sentence. I was trying to say Twilight was an abusive reltionship too. Both serve as terrible examples to young woman what a relationship should actually be like, and really shouldn't be something marketed to children.

DwarfSlice

@Shelby115 Trove?

No PVP at all, currently though.

Wipqozn

@DwarfSlice HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Sconibulus

13:08

Oooh, Minecraft has all those things I think?

Shelby115

@DwarfSlice I'll look into it, so thanks for the suggestion, but I doubt the PVP heavy member of my group will agree hehe.

Sconibulus

you can totally PVP from second 1

Martin Sojka

Yeah, I thought about Minecraft as well, but I never tried bigger servers.

DwarfSlice

@Shelby115 It's going into open beta some time this month. I'm really enjoying it.

Shelby115

Are there actual RPG elements to it? Like Talents, Skills, Classes, etc?

user15026

13:09

@wipqozn I agree with that one hundred percent

DwarfSlice

@Shelby115 Yeah, levelling up, skills (although no trees, each class is stuck with certain ones), and a lot of loot.

Sconibulus

Oooh, isn't there a multiplayer Mount&Blade now?

DwarfSlice

There's not really any quests though, if that's what you're looking for

Sconibulus

I loved that game single player

Mad Scientist

Eve has a lot of PvP elements, but it is not an RPG and a very different thing from most MMOs

DwarfSlice

13:11

basically you just warp to an adventure world, pick a direction and go. You find dungeons along the way you can complete for stuff.

Sconibulus

it doesn't have classes, but it does have skills, and you get points infrequently enough that it requires specialization

Shelby115

DwarfSlice

Eh.

Koviko

EVE is an RPG only because it doesn't really fit into anything else.

Kevin van der Velden

Koviko

@DwarfSlice When I'm Supreme Ruler it will mean you can't enjoy them, because you'll be having fun wrong.

PEOPLE CAN ONLY HAVE FUN IN WIPQOZN APPROVED WAYS

@KevinvanderVelden You. I like you.

Sconibulus

13:14

@Shelby115 aww, the multiplayer I heard about is apparently battle only

Koviko

Srsly though, EVE is definitely an RPG due to levels and stats I guess. It doesn't really simulate anything other than an economy, which every other MMO attempts to do anyway.

Shelby115

@Sconibulus Yeah I believe there are a few mods for Warband. I would just love to see a campain multiplayer, would be epic.

Martin Sojka

... which every other MMO I've seen fails to do. Even UO, and it had the right idea at its base.

Well, have fun guys. I gotta get to work now :/ lol

Koviko

@MartinSojka I think the main issue with MMO economies is that money can always be created out of nothing.

Rapitor

►

2

Koviko

At it's core, it means that you can have natural inflation. However, since MMOs want you to make more money for the higher "level" you reach, the whole idea of inflation doesn't work out

Martin Sojka

@Koviko Original UO had limited natural resources. Result: People hoarding stuff, monsters stopped dropping anything or even wearing equipment.

Wipqozn

13:19

@badp I just assumed the gifts you recieved were protection money.

Martin Sojka

... and then someone found a dupe bug.

Ah, good old times. ;)

badp

@Rapitor TF2 needs a sink so badly

Martin Sojka

The UO team basically had to scrap all the work and implement a bog-standard resource sink based one.

badp

2.66 refs used to buy a key. Now it's 10 refs.

Rapitor

it doesnt have asink?

badp

13:22

@Rapitor You can craft three refined togethers for a chance of getting a random hat. Most hats are worth 1-1.33 refined on the market; you pay half and get a hat you actually want.

Grace Note

@Arperum One's an animal and the other's a battleship. I'd think they'd be easy to distinguish even at that small resolution.

fredley

@Wipqozn *bans Wipqozn* - Take that!

Rapitor

@badp sounds like to me they just need to add more hats

badp

@GraceNote What if the battleship has camofurlage?

@Rapitor That just makes the random lottery of hats even less worthwhile.

Grace Note

I'd still question one's ability to perceive differences in objects

Wipqozn

13:24

@fredley Oh snap. You sure showed me.

Mad Scientist

@Koviko Eve solves that problem by having almost everything destructible.

Rapitor

@badp yeah but the new hats will cost more in the market until it floods

badp

@Rapitor It's a stopgap measure really.

Koviko

@MadScientist Yeah. They still have inflation, but nowhere near as bad as any other MMO I've played.

The price of PLEX, for example, is fairly stable from now to a year ago.

badp

For those who want the new hats as soon as possible, there's the real life cash shop.

Koviko

13:25

Also, I don't think there are any NPC vendors you can sell things to in EVE.

Arperum

@GraceNote They are visuably different, my brain just parses both as the same person.

Rapitor

guys, help

i actually want advanced warfare

Arperum

@Rapitor Stop, you don't want it! it's all just a bad idea!

Rapitor

@Arperum but it has lazerrrsss

Wipqozn

@Rapitor What was the last CoD game you bought?

Rapitor

13:30

@Wipqozn black ops 2

Wipqozn

@Rapitor That was 2 years ago, right?

Rapitor

yeah i think so

Wipqozn

Well, my suggestion would be to wait, unless you really love CoD. I find with CoD games everyone is super hyped, saying it wiill be 100% different than the old ones, and a few weeks late everyone says it's just the same game again.

Arperum

@Rapitor We have all the lazers you need.

Wipqozn

So if you really do want more of the same, heck, mine as well. However if you're thinking "man, this one is so much different!", I'd just wait a few weeks for the hype to die down

Arperum

@Wipqozn YOU ARE NO FUN.

Wipqozn

@Arperum Calm down there @KevinvanderVelden, no need to get upset.

Frank

@Wipqozn Except not even an incremental.

Jason Berkan

@Frank Science increase in Civ games is totally an incremental.

Frank

@JasonBerkan Well, if we want to distill it, okay, yeah, every Civ game is an incremental.

5pike

@Frank you can distil almost every game into an incremental.

StrixVaria

@Frank Every game with numbers and progression is an incremental.

Sterno

14:27

I do not incremental at work. That way lies madness. And unemployment.

Frank

@5pike That was where I was going, yes.

StrixVaria

The only difference is the activity you perform to get to the next increment.

Sterno

@Sconibulus Kinder egg videos are basically unboxing videos, in bulk

Koviko

@StrixVaria That's the reason an incremental can even be considered a game.

Jason Berkan

It's probably more apt to say that incrementals remove everything else that other games add, leaving just the "make numbers go bigger" aspect.

Kevin van der Velden

14:28

Minecraft is still the best incremental

Sterno

Pong is best incremental.

Kevin van der Velden

Especially with mods

Where you can afk and get stuff :D

Koviko

@JasonBerkan If a clicker incremental made it so you had to click a moving target, suddenly it'd be more than just an incremental. It'd be a hunting game.

@fredley I have a weird fascination with miniature things.

user15026

Like the fact that it is detailed stuff that looks real except it is just tiny and plastic just....makes me weirdly happy.

Q: What ports does Clash of Clans use?

The wifi at my office blocks Clash of Clans. They're usually pretty open to unblocking applications but I need to know what ports CoC uses.

There are so many of these.

The worst are the ones by women talking in really weird childish voices. Like the woman who makes playdoh dresses

user15026

@Sterno I can't stand ones with talking

This one

OMG THAT VOICE

user15026

Okay, that is icky.

Sterno

So, when I'm not watching the "I just can't wait to be king" song from Lion King 47 times in a row, I'm watching these awful Kinder Egg videos

user15026

I feel bad for you. I understand the need for something like clicker heroes now

Sterno

Some of them are unintentionally creepy. There's one where someone hid all the toys in blobs of playdoh, and gave the blobs eyes and legs and arms. Then other guys come up and rip them apart to get the toy inside

user15026

@Sterno augh no why would you do that

Sterno

It's sad when I actually miss What Does The Fox Say.

@Sterno You could watch the trailer for the grumpy cat movie

user15026

@fredley ....please tell me this is not an actual thing that is being created because I just...how. What. Why. What plot could there even be?

fredley

@AshleyNunn It is real

Listening to children raising stories I can't help but think "How has @sterno managed to do this twice!?" and then I stop and think "How did @JasonBerkan manage to go through this four times?"

@AshleyNunn There once was a cat, the cat was grumpy. And it lived ~~happily~~ grumpy ever after.

tiny paws... up the hill. Suddenly you're standing still!

I like children's books but I think that's because I've not read them n times in a row, where n is more than one

@Wipqozn Technically I'm still stuck in the middle of raising all of my kids.

@fredley Wait, is this actually happening?

Jason Berkan

Last night was video game time. The middle two played Disney Infinity, while the oldest and I played Civ V.

@JasonBerkan You and @Sterno are both extremely impressive.

user15026

The more I think about children the more I am not entirely sure I can do the children thing

And then I stuffed them full of Hallowe'en candy and put them to bed.

(Can you tell my wife was out for the evening?)

That reminds me, my parents only had 2 kids come for Halloween candy, so she sent me home with a pile of it. :D

Kevin van der Velden

Nice

Sterno

@AshleyNunn They start making it worth it when they learn to smile and hug.

Kevin van der Velden

It's almost 11/11, which is our national candy-gathering-day in random parts of the country. I should stock up some candy before that time

I don't know if anyone will come by, but if they don't. I'LL HAVE CANDY :D

user15026

@Sterno For some people, yes

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I'm worn out after having my nephew over for few hours. I'm not sure how @Sterno and @JasonBerkan do it.
