@spugsley What are you playing? <.<

What are ALL of the KoA players building class-wise?

spugsley

@Tristan I'm playing rogue, primarily using faeblades (which I crafted myself and they are AWESOME). But I wanted to know what @Sterno is playing because I want to know what he's putting his points into. I'm kind of running out of stuff I want in the 'finesse' category

Tristan

@spugsley Have you been building in any of the other trees? Some of the hybrid destinies seem pretty cool.

spugsley

@Tristan I haven't but I thought about respecing because I have a lot of points in finesse in things I'm not even using. I could easily have a bunch of stuff in another category

Tristan

@spugsley I'm only level 8 right now, but I'm trying to build toward a battlemage. I found a few set items that seem like they'd be fairly helpful with that style.

spugsley

@Tristan only thing...I'll be a little pissed if I respec because I've found a ton of set items and sold them if they weren't for my class

Tristan

00:20

@spugsley Same here... But I have the Ceremonial set just sitting in my inventory taking up space.

On that note... Do equipped items take up inventory space?

spugsley

@Tristan omg. I'm level 21. Wtf....

Tristan

@spugsley I've been busy helping set up the Spleef stuff for Game On tomorrow. lol

spugsley

@Tristan I went to look expecting to be like....10? But no...I'm 21. Wow, I have no life

Tristan

Wait... You didn't even know what level you were? lol

spugsley

@Tristan haaaaaaaa no

Ronan Forman

00:32

@Tristan Did you build the face thing in the end?

Tristan

@RonanForman We got about halfway finished with it. Then we realized the extremely high amount of color changes in the original image made it look like crap, so we scrapped it.

Q: Can I find a set item more than once?

I'm currently level 21 and I haven't encountered the same piece of set equipment (yellow items) twice. Can I find the same set item more than once? I'm curious because I'm thinking about respecing and I've sold every set item I've encountered that wasn't related to my current class.

Call me crazy, but this cat doesn't look like he wants kisses at all:

@RonanForman: How was Game on?

agent86

@spugsley doh! I rarely sell anything that's unique or set. I just dump it at my house.

Ronan Forman

00:40

@Wipqozn It was really fun. We did 2 games, I lost both.

spugsley

@agent86 I didn't have a house yet and I loathe full inventories

agent86

I found a couple of items for I think a finesse set. I've only found 2 "set" items so far and they've been from the same set. Makes me wonder if there's any factors that change the drops

spugsley

@agent86 I don't think so. I've found a dozen set items, all different classes.

agent86

hmm, well, screw that then.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Excellent. Glad to see swapping out TF2 for LoL has worked out for the best.

agent86

00:42

fine, FINE, disprove my theory.

Wipqozn

Mind you, anything would have been better than the terrible turn out TF2 was having.

spugsley

I'm sorry :( just figured I'd be helpful since this game has ruled my life since it came out

agent86

@spugsley no, no, that's fine. poor little theory, barely half formed, and you just come in and smash the poor thing to bits. It's okay, I'm sure my poor theory felt very little pain.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn There's only so much you can do with TF2, maybe we'll end up with the same thing with LoL after a while.

spugsley

I want my new name to be Spugsley: Smasher of Theories

Ronan Forman

00:44

I mean we've basically been playing different games inside of minecraft each time.

agent86

@spugsley hehe, I endorse this :)

Wipqozn

@RonanForman The main problem with TF2 is no one was showing up, which was a problem for awhile really.

You could be right though

Ronan Forman

@spugsley You need a metaphorical hammer.

spugsley

@RonanForman 'metaphorical hammer' is my new favorite phrase

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn No one was showing up because there's only so much you can do was my point.

Wipqozn

00:46

@RonanForman I'm aware.

In anycase. LoL seems to be working for now.

agent86

@spugsley Spugsley, Smasher Of Theories, Wielder of the Mighty Metaphorical Hammer of Selling Set Items!

Tristan

@Wipqozn Why didn't you tell me there was a Big Lebowski reference in MLP?

agent86

you sound badass enough to get your own action figure at this rate.

spugsley

@agent86 congratulations, you are now my hero.

Tristan

20% cooler everyone.

Ronan Forman

00:49

@spugsley I know! Whoever thought of it must be a genius and master of wit.

agent86

@spugsley hey, you're the one with the hammer. I think that qualifies you to be the hero.

spugsley

@RonanForman see? I'm the hero now. Problem solved

now if only someone could answer my question about set items...though I don't think I'm going to like the answer

which means the small fortune I've amassed is going to buying all that crap back :/

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 Eh, I have no problem with DLC that adds content commensurate with it's cost.

The New Vegas DLC ranged from 'pretty good' to 'better than the original game'.

You put all of them together, you have an amount of content similar to an xpack, and you have a price tag similar to an xpack.

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, thus the "almost all" in my reply. There's some decent DLC out there, the borderlands DLC was good too. I just despise this "2-3 multiplayer maps for $15" and "a few more sharp bits to stab people with" DLC

give me some content

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 Yeah, 'weapon packs' are the worst.

Though, I will admit I bought the Gun Runners Arsenal for new vegas. At 3 bucks, it didn't feel so exploitative.

Especially given the number of new weapons it added.

Q: Does the quality of the item affect the quality of the salvaged components?

When salvaging items (i.e. destroying an item in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning) does it make any difference as to the quality of the item you use?

@spugsley Apparenty you kept thinking @ipugsley was talking to you when we were playing.

spugsley

@RonanForman that's normal

Ronan Forman

Maybe the first time, but repeatedly.

spugsley

01:02

@RonanForman I always think he's talking to me. Worse then that, the reason I hate him having that stupid mic on is because I like to sing songs about the game I'm playing and I don't want people to hear it

@RonanForman and I didn't mean that it was a normal thing, I meant that was normal for me

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria just answered your Voldo Mantis Crawl question - I wish I was a Voldo player (it's not an great answer, with good combos and transitions and such, just a start really)

@spugsley I do want to mention these songs are particularly vulgar and typically hilarious

Q: Potions and Their Particle Colors

You'd only need 1 copy of trine, assuming you have 3 game pads.

Also, it was the right thing to do.

@GnomeSlice I lol'd.

Mana

@LessPop_MoreFizz The old people dancing in the background did it for me

GnomeSlice

I also did the evacuation, rather than the restoration.

I was flipping my shit trying to decide.

Tristan

@GnomeSlice I think saving Zulf makes for a much more epic ending.

GnomeSlice

01:47

Well, I tried shooting him first.

That didn't work so I picked him up.

Also, I'm lying.

I'm guessing that if you do the Bastion's restoration, the game will simply start again from the beginning.

Mana

@GnomeSlice Well, you get the New Game+ mode either way

GnomeSlice

Yes.

Mana

It's basically a different ending montage + narration

GnomeSlice

Machete + Musket

But the same stuff happens right.

I thought it was neat the way the Ura were attacking me at first, and then slowly stopped as I was carrying Zulf.

One archer guy started to shoot at me and the guy behind him stabbed him.

Mana

Yeah, that was a well done touch.

OrigamiRobot

01:49

@RonanForman @spugsley said maybe sometime. She is scared of you :P

Mana

Also well done is the fact that the endings show Zulf/Zia as happy/sad depending on which one you chose

Since Zulf's life was much happier before the calamity and Zia's was much happier afterwards

NOT WELL DONE IS ZIA'S VOICE ACTING.

ahem sorry.

GnomeSlice

Zulf wasn't even really featured in my ending.

Ah, she had a lisp.

She sounded old enough that she shouldn't have needed this old fart telling her what she'd been living through recently.

Ullallulloo

:O The cake was a lie. :O

GnomeSlice

I still wish they'd gone into more detail about what exactly the Calamity did.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice It was Calamitous. I Swear, do you just never pay attention to anything?

GnomeSlice

01:53

I know it was bad. But what did it physically do to things in the world.

Based on the level designs, it looked like it made all the ground disappear.

In which case, what's the bloody point of living there.

Tim Stone

@Mana Argh, yes, so true.

Raven Dreamer

Raven Dreamer

@GnomeSlice Note the irony marks. ;)

Irony punctuation

Although in the written English language there is no standard way to denote irony or sarcasm, several forms of punctuation have been proposed. Among the oldest and frequently attested are the percontation point invented by English printer Henry Denham in the 1580s, and the irony mark, furthered by French poet Alcanter de Brahm in the 19th century. Both of these marks were represented visually by a backwards question mark (in unicode: ). The character can also be represented on Windows by using the Alt code 1567. Using LaTeX, one can display it by including the graphicx package, and then...

GnomeSlice

Oh. I thought those were just shit on my screen.

@GamingnotonGaming I like your new name.

@Sterno how's that working out for you? I'm thinking of respecing to cover more of the categories since all of my points are in finesse right now. I'm not using a lot of the things I put points in to

Tristan

The resemblance is uncanny!

Sterno

@spugsley Pretty well. I like the +1 to all skills it grants right now. Hard for me to compare to anything else though. I started out as Finesse originally but the higher tiers of abilities didn't thrill me. So I figured I'd focus on the passives from a bunch of different classes (bonus health and block from might, stealth and daggers from finesse, chakrams and lightning bolt and lower casting cost from magic)

I'm playing on Hard and the game certainly hasn't been hard except for the really rare pack of monsters with ranged attacks

I suspect that's true for most builds though

spugsley

@Sterno yeah, I'm level 21 and the upper level finesse stuff is really lame. I'm not a fan of poison or bombs. I might go finesse/sorcery so I can try out the chakrams

Sterno

They are sweet

spugsley

@Sterno that and I'm not going to invest anything in alchemy. It's sooooooo tedious

Tristan

02:53

Chakrams are awesome!

Sterno

@spugsley I'm actually rewriting my skill answer right now. After my experiment today, I think at low levels it makes sense to ignore crafting skills and just respec when you want to do a bunch of crafting, then respec back

spugsley

it's settled then. Chakrams ftw!

Sterno

I've respecced about 6 times now and the cost is still only about 14k

spugsley
