Q: What impacts stocking times?

You can upgrade your shops to Level 2, Level 3, ...ect. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but upgrading the shop adds quanitity to your restocking, meaning you get more stock for every restock. However, does upgrading the shop also lower the amount of time it takes to stock an item? Or does every shop...

user15026

@BenBrocka Yeah - I threw a fire and a plant dragon in there. Will see what happens :)

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn the wiki has a ton of articles on breeding: dragonvale.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Breeding

StrixVaria

14:10

@Jin On chrome, when you mouse over initially, the animation doesn't always start fresh. Sometimes it starts in the middle. Lazers appear out of nowhere instead of being fired as normal.

Ben Brocka

Generally all you need to know is look at the store and decide which dragon you want; breed the two elements you see there (for a flower dragon it's Fire and Plant), breed those two dragons to yield the dragon you see

there's some special cases though, for instance Plant dragons can't breed directly with Cold dragons

user15026

@BenBrocka Poison, though, is Plant and Fire.....how do I ensure I get Flower, and not Poison?

user15026

Alo, limited time dragons? :(

FAE

@BenBrocka Damn you, this game sounds really fun.

I think used to play little webgames like this...

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn yeah, if you want a Clover dragon you might want to start trying now. I only got one after....at least a dozen tries :/

user15026

14:15

@BenBrocka Which two do I need to breed for that?

Wipqozn

@IvoFlipse Yeah, we were talking about this the other day. I'm not at all impressed by the quality of questions produced by this contest :/

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn The Wiki says you should follow the order of elements the dragon shows in the shop; if the dragon shows Plant then Fire, breed a higher level Plant dragon than Fire dragon and/or put the Plant dragon on the RIGHT of the breeding menu...though in my experience it's fairly random

@AshleyNunn plant and Moss seems to work. Plant and earth might work...honestly I'm not sure there's a difference for this dragon

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Is anyone?

user15026

@BenBrocka Hm. Don't have Moss - Will start with Plant and Earth and go from there.

Ben Brocka

@FAE it is very fun :P I wish it had an android version so I could check up on it on my phone too

@BenBrocka I do not own any iThings so I cannot play it. :( If it's ever released for Android, ping me! :D

PAPERTOSS HOW EXCITING

Ben Brocka

Anna Lear

@AshleyNunn Wat. Paper Toss is awesome.

Certainly better than setting up your own trash can and some fans to throw a real-life paper thing around. :P

Also, no cats to get in the way.

Ben Brocka

I think Dragonvale might be their first port though, because of in app purchases it's one of the top grossing games on the iOS app store

FAE

@AshleyNunn Never, ever step back and ask what you're doing ingame and how it would analogize to IRL. Otherwise you end up asking yourself, "Dear god, why did I just spend 3 hours digging in virtual stone with a fake pickaxe to find pretend diamonds?"

FAE

@Wipqozn As in, how big of a list o'stuff is it asking for and is it an acceptable amount of stuff? :) Using this answer I think, is a decent metric for those types of questions which you'd normally see in walkthroughs.

@Wipqozn There's an issue with this and nested lists.

Wipqozn

@FAE At most, 25 things, but there are not one for ever level. I'm guessing ~15 items.

@Wipqozn @Grace worked some witchery on a post once to fix one of my answers but as I am not a witch, I don't know what kind of witchery it is.

@Wipqozn Gotcha. Just wondering if it'd be better to break it down by zone (if they're divided into zones) or whatnot, if the answers are long. Not owning the game, I don't know how much work goes into finding each individual Zodiac Weapon. If each weapon has like, a mini-walkthrough itself, it could be a bit unwieldy.

A: How is rank determined?

Score is determined based on how many notes you hit and how well you hit them. Rank is determined only by how well you hit them. S ranks also require you don't miss anything; if you miss but still meet the requirements for an S, you'll only get an A. Since the number of notes varies by song, that...

Ha. This review is cracking me up

> Let’s pretend for a moment that The Lord of the Rings was released not as a series of books, but a series of games. More importantly, the company behind the series decided to do something really hard but rewarding with the game — they were going to let you make decisions during play that substantively altered the elements of the story.

> That means that some of people playing through this Lord of the Rings story would end up with a personal game experience that was pretty much exactly like the one you and I all remember from reading the books, but that story is just sort of the default.

> Whole forums were filled up by fans of the series comparing notes on their versions of the game, with guides on how to get into a romantic relationship with Arwen (the obvious one), Eowyn (more difficult, as you have to go without any kind of romance option through the whole first game, but considered by many to be far more rewarding), or even Legolas (finally released as DLC for the third game).

Raven Dreamer

@BenBrocka Keep reading

> Is the ending, as an ending (taken out of context with the game we’ve been playing), a bad one? No. It’s an interesting theme that was explored extensively in a B-plot within the series and which could certainly be the central thread of a series of its own.

@BenBrocka Yeah, but gestalt theory. Humans see what we want to see.

there's just too many things to ignore

If the Catalyst was a total Deus Ex Machina but everything else made sense and player choices mattered, that'd be one thing

agent86

I just look at everything else that's been like this and I go "did I think the ending lived up to the story?" and usually the answer is: no.

FAE

@agent86 My annoyance comes mostly from the fact that all the endings are the same. No matter if I played 3 games as Renegade or Paragon, it's the bloody same, when they said that these choices would actually make a difference.

Q: Kid Icarus: Uprising- What is the maximum value for a weapon?

I know that the game hasn't been out for more than a week, but I was wondering what the maximum value can be for a weapon. Right now I have a Pudgy Palm that has a value of 322. Any answers would help.

Q: Mass Effect question on New Game + romance

Just completed ME3 last night and have a question going forward for my + playthrough. Any idea which romance you are attached to at the start? My save import going into ME3 had a Liara ME1 and a Miranda ME2 romance. I tried to keep both of those going in ME3 but it ended my relationship with Mira...

@FAE I figure I could have even lived with that if there was just one concrete ending, instead of...whatever that was.

FAE

16:23

@TimStone Yeah...

Tim Stone

@agent86 I think the biggest issue isn't that the ending is unsatisfactory per se...but more that they intentionally introduced things out of nowhere with no clear explanation that caused the ending to be unsatisfactory.

agent86

@FAE I did find the war assets thing to be mostly bogus as a determining factor for endings. On the whole though, it was just like the other BS crap I put up with in the other games that I forget about over time, like mineral scanning and the long-ass sections with the mako

Ben Brocka

@TimStone it also contradicted some important parts of the story woven into ME3 too

agent86

@TimStone this is the way both of the other games ended though

Ben Brocka

it's got this huge, can't synth/organics just get along? Message with EDI and the Geth

Then the ending is like NO YOU MUST KILL EVERYTHING

agent86

"quick! plot twist we're not going to explain but will somehow have to deal with in the next installment!"

FAE

@agent86 Saren was not out of nowhere, though ME2's weird reaper smoothie was wtf, I admit.

Ben Brocka

@agent86 it's sorta the opposite, this ending totally kills all potentially interesting directions for the series

While I love calibrations and fast talking salarians I don't see much interesting left in the universe...especially without any god damn Mass Relays

Tim Stone

@FAE That was weird, but at least it was consistent with the rest of the game...because there were actually things happening related to that, that made sense.

agent86

I don't want to be the devil's advocate here, and I don't want to defend the ending. I don't want to be the sounding board for all the ending rage :) I just don't subscribe to it personally.

if there was some ending DLC, I wouldn't play it, personally. The game ended, and I finished my Shepard story, and now I'm onto other things.

Ben Brocka

@FAE the human reaper thing? I thought that was cool really. GAve Reapers a reason to do what they were doing without it being extremely stupid

I crafted some seriously epic dragon armor in Skyrim last night, woo!

Because I haven't linked it for about a week...

I just got back from touring a daycare center.

Kids are expensive.

agent86

@Sterno mmmmhmmm!

FAE

@Sterno This is why I'm not having any. I can afford more games then. Also, there's less poop.

Ben Brocka

@FAE and more time to play games! Also less barf.

Not sure if that's answerable.

and with that, I'm going to go watch a movie and eat lunch.

@Sterno I avoided reading about the endings until I'd actually played it

I couldn't believe it when I looked up the other endings on YouTube that they were all, essentially, identical

Basically the choice at the end was "What colour would you like your Lazers?"

@Tristan I downvoted your answer. I assumed you had downvoted mine purely for the contest, which you've been essentially spamming about to garner votes. If you weren't the one to, I'm happy to remove it.

wat

agent86

@Tristan I'll say something

StrixVaria

@Tristan That's not very decent of him.

browserquest.mozilla.org why am I so addicted to this.

Tristan

@StrixVaria To be fair, I did downvote his answer after he said that. I'm gonna go remove the downvote though. I was just pissed after reading that.

fredley

@Sterno Maybe there are another 12 endings, but we just haven't discovered them yet...

Tristan

It won't let me remove it. It says my vote's locked in unless it's edited. =(

FAE

@Tristan Content agnostic, remember!

fredley

@Tristan edit it then

FAE

16:41

@Tristan Link? I'll edit it.

A: What are the Key Gameplay Differences between Valve's DOTA 2 vs League of Legends?

This question has been a long time coming. My answer will undoubtedly be Dota2 biased because after playing both I feel that it is by far the better competitive game. However, I also believe that everything I say will be accurate- if anything isn't, or you feel there's something I've missed or sh...

@FAE I don't know what this means.

@Tristan removed my up vote from the other answer just for you, just have to go back and add it again after the competition is done

Hrm...

Tristan

@TimStone Yeah... He didn't have to do that. =\ I didn't ask him to.

agent86

@Decency (+ @Tristan and @Blem) - please vote based on a post's content and not who posted it - voting to change contest results and because you don't like the person's behavior is not good for the community. Patterns of voting behavior for or against people are checked for and punished. Don't do it.

Tim Stone

@Tristan Yeah, I know you didn't, but I have a feeling this is all related unfortunately. People really shouldn't do stuff like that (as a general note, not directed at you).

Otherwise @agent86 will come after you, in your sleep, from the shadows. o_o

(or something)

agent86

16:45

well, more like balpha. he tends to hand down the vote-based suspensions

you don't want to get on his bad side :(

murgatroid99

Hey @Tristan, I saw an EQD post you might like: equestriadaily.com/2012/03/…

Tristan

@agent86 I don't even know who that is. <.<

agent86

@Tristan it's better that you don't :)

Tristan

@murgatroid99 That's a win.

agent86

is this a good question for the site:

Q: What kind of companies sponsor pro teams? What makes a team pro?

Do pro teams invite new players onto their teams? How does a team become pro? Do you have to have a sponsor, and if so, how would you get one? What kind of companies sponsor gaming teams?

Tristan

16:48

@agent86 That's a bad one. I'm honestly not sure about the first one though.

murgatroid99

@Tristan It's not like they haven't had similar posts for the others, but I thought you would like that one

LessPop_MoreFizz

I asked a question about a dumb browser game!

WOOOO

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz you managed to write complete sentences, though, so I WILL TAKE IT

Sterno

I'll just downvote everyone to even it out!

Brian Colvin

@StrixVaria have you gotten lulu yet?

FAE

16:59

@agent86 "To be perfectly frank, Dota2 is fucking hard" do we want to edit that to a less strong expletive in an answer on the site?

Sterno

To you guys talking about Disgaea the other day, which prompted me to buy it, expect some questions soon. Because I tried playing it last night and had a very WTF experience.
