@Ktash :(
Odd thing though, that question was answered over a year ago, and is his only real activity. So he came back, just to edit that
maybe it wasn't such a good one
Also, lol at whoever starred @spugsley's comment
@Ktash I can't see the starred list because I'm at work....which comment?
@spugsley The uh... super chesty one
@YiJiang oh god :/ I should have known better

Q: What does "Unique Equipped" mean?

SeanThis appears to show on all Legendary (brown/tan) items. I can't find any info on it, and it doesn't appear to be because the item is class-specific (as my other class-specific items don't have the tag). A friend says this means the item is unusable by other characters once the item is equipped t...

Q: What gem bonus applies to socketed off-hand items?

BrantGems provide 3 different bonuses depending on what they're inserted into: Helms, Weapons, and "Other". What do off-hand items like Wizard orbs, Demon Hunter quivers, and Witch Doctor mojos count as? I'm leaning toward "other", but technically these items are equipped in weapon slots. Which is it?

Q: Are APM measured in game time or real time?

ayckosterIf I have 100 APM in Starcraft 2, do I click 100 times per minute or actually 140 times. The multiplier for faster is about 1.4 X. I heard that these two times are called "game time" and "real time". I would also want to know in what time Sc2gears measures its APM. I do not care about small di...

Q: Demon hunter so soft?

xstncI'm playing a DH teamed up with a Monk. Based on our armour and hp stats - we should be very even when it comes to "tanking" or survivability. My question is: Why isn't it so? Does the DH take less beating due to it's class? Or are there any secret stats we should know about?

I JUST WANT A FUCKING LADY TO TALK TO ARGHHHH
Grrrr, I can't remember how I got past the section the last time
@spugsley Female gaming population is usually under-represented online... (as I'm sure you are acutely aware)

@spugsley :?
@Ktash incredibly aware. Though thankfully I've met @FAE and @AshleyNunn :3 yaaay
I'm more than happy to listen to you rant, @spugsley. Just don't expect me to... uh... have much opinion in the way of bras.
Gnah! This is stupid. I'm getting stuck at places I've solved before
@RavenDreamer the rant is mainly 'cursing cursing bras more cursing cursing cursing ARGH"
I don't judge. ;)

Q: "Too Localized"? Uhh.. are you kidding?

yeahI'm pretty sure a LOT of people are going to have the question "Will Diablo 3 run better on my Mac if I install it on Win7 in Bootcamp?". I did. There's serious problems. Silly moderators... didn't realize this site was so elitist. sigh

You know, I'm inclined to agree with him, actually.
Hello, Jojas. Questions about "Can I run this?" or "Which will run this better?" are considered Too Localized for our site. — Raven Dreamer May 16 at 4:28
^this
This question is why, when we decide to disallow entire categories of questions, we should just close them as "off-topic" rather than "too localized" or "not constructive" or whatever.
@OrigamiRobot In general, yes, but he's asking about a comparison between Windows7 and Mac OSX, two of the most common current operating systems .
@OrigamiRobot I like mine
16:52
I just need to make sure we have decided to disallow that entire category of questions
@badp Agreed.
Great answer by a new user:

A: What are the strengths and weaknesses of each follower?

Decent Tank, as he can be equipped with one handed weapons and a shield in addition to rings and amulet. Weaknesses Susceptible to being surrounded a...

@GnomeSlice There are nearly endless configurations of computer hardware that would effect this outside just the OS
@badp you should post an answer to the meta question about why it's too localized.
20 secs ago, by Ktash
@GnomeSlice There are nearly endless configurations of computer hardware that would effect this outside just the OS
@GnomeSlice I'm rather researching to back up Raven's claim
16:54
@Ktash Well, if you remove the 'here are my specs' bit, 'does it run better natively in MacOS or Win7 bootcamp' is a valid question.
@GnomeSlice The specs can't be removed from the question though
If they are, the answer because, "well under these situations..." for all configurations

Q: Will Diablo 3 run better on my Mac if I install it on Win7 in Bootcamp?

JojasI have the Guest Pass Diablo III card from my friend that purchased official Diablo III. When I played the game on MacOSX with low quality model and graphic setting, It's quite not good for me. There some lagging in hero skill animation. Even though, It's ok for me. I have seen Battle.net Suppo...

Just edited it so we can see what it looks like without his specs.
Seems like an okay question to me.
@GnomeSlice Now it is prone to discussion. Not Constructive.
@OrigamiRobot Why? Either it does or doesn't run better in Win7 bootcamp.
@GnomeSlice False.
16:56
@OrigamiRobot ...How?
@GnomeSlice It can under certain hardware configurations, but not under others
3 mins ago, by OrigamiRobot
20 secs ago, by Ktash
@GnomeSlice There are nearly endless configurations of computer hardware that would effect this outside just the OS
@OrigamiRobot So? We can still provide an answer to what impact the OS would have on it regardless of hardware, no?
@GnomeSlice That is not a useful answer even if it is possible. Which it kinda isn't.
@GnomeSlice No, we really can't. Not without listing out different configuations
16:59
I don't know very much about virtual OS... things, but I would think that the basic differences between the two would be the same regardless of specs.
Maybe not. Anyway, that's why I asked you guys. I'm not very knowledgeable.
@GnomeSlice Very different.
I might even say the fact that it is a virtual OS makes hardware difference more relevant than if it weren't.
Hardware is the make it or break it for any resource intensive hardware, and virtual OS's are resource intensive
They have to virtualize a hook from generalized emulation to specific hardware, which it can do better or worse depending on the specs
... and the software, and the OS, and a myriad of other factors. There is no way for us to reasonably answer that question in either form in a way that is useful to others

Q: Is comparing the performance of native and virtualized games "too localized"?

Q: What exactly is a "guest pass" and how do I give it to a friend?

OakI've seen "Diablo III guest passes" mentioned as a way to allow friends to experience a "demo" of the game. I have purchased Diablo III but going over my Battle.net account page I cannot find any way to give such a pass to a friend. What, exactly, does a guest pass mean? Is it time limited? Con...

@Lazers Okay, see, why does that have 5 downvotes.
It's a perfectly valid META question.
5 people disagree
17:04
@badp What's wrong with it as a meta topic?
On meta downvotes can also mean disagreement
@badp also sorry, now your comment looks out of place because I deleted mine so I could edit it again.
Meta downvotes are disagree, not "this isn't a good question"... at least that's how many people use them, but as always, your votes are yours
@badp Disagreement to what? The question is 'is ___ on topic'. I should think votes on the ANSWERS (yes or no) would indicate agreement.
disagreement on the fact that we're all power hungry elitist moderators
17:06
I'll write up an answer to the meta regarding too localized vs off-topic
just give me a sec
@badp That's been removed.
@GnomeSlice But a lot of the down votes were there already
Errgh this is what I've been talking about.
and it hasn't been removed by him
user30
hola.
17:07
so honestly they can stay for as far as I'm concerned
@badp Irrelevant, shouldn't vote based on that.
@ThomasMcDonald yoooooooooooooooooooooo
@GnomeSlice and you don't need to un-vote based on that
user30
@badp how's things?
@ThomasMcDonald meh, just uncrated a hat.
@badp You should though. You shouldn't even downvote in the first place just because the asker said something rude, you should remove it and vote on the content of the question.
17:09
A regular hat. It was for the demoman, for which I didn't have any specific hat, so that's okay
user30
Heh. I remember TF2. :(
@GnomeSlice People voted on the content of the question, they can change their vote if they so wish
@ThomasMcDonald I'll be remembering it too in a month or so :(
@badp They shutting it down?
@GnomeSlice No, but I'll have exams to work towards
Answered, let me know if it doesn't make sense

A: How can I level up more quickly?

agent86Quest XP isn't all that awesome compared to killing monsters, honestly.

A: How can I heal my monk efficiently on higher difficulties?

Raven DreamerOne of my favorite ways to keep my Monk topped off is with the Transcendence passive. Every time you deal damage with one of your spirit spenders, you get a heal. The more attacks you make, the more spirit you can spend, the more you can heal. The best thing about this is that it's also an affix ...

17:28
@RavenDreamer As you said, the problem with healing as a monk is dealing with spike damage.
You don't have time to respond with Transcendence or a healing skill.
Evasion probably works better IMO
Oak
Oak
@agent86 thanks for the answer. Too bad, I really wanted to give one to my friend :(
Can't understand why they don't just publish a demo.
@Oak np, I saw that and went "I can do a pretty good answer there"
@Oak I'm pretty sure they're going to do this eventually. If you want, you can have one of my other passes.
I don't think they're region locked, although your friend will have to be in your battle.net region.
Oak
Oak
@agent86 I'll actually be very happy with that, I'm trying to convince Aubergine to buy it and play with me :)
@Oak are you on steam? I'll steam it to you. Last time I posted my code in here and the bridge got up in arms :P
speaking of steam, assassin's creed is on sale today.

Oak
Wow, I have actually not opened Steam at all for the last few days, I think. Amazing what Diablo can do.

A: What are the different chests?

heisheBlood chests are just another form of normal chests. In the course of the game, you'll come across different variations of normal chests, or things that are basically the same as chests. They fill the same purpose, but are named differently.

Is this right?
@Oak I run the overlay on my D3 client so that I can take easy screenshots (yeah, I know there's one built in to D3) and also so that I have a "boss key" in case the kids show up :)
I could have sworn bloody chests give better loot generally, like a middle between normal and resplendent.
@Mana honestly I have no idea
Oak
Oak
Well, resplendid chest is actually reoccuring
@agent86 what's wrong with kids seeing you play?
also, this is a subset of my earlier question

Q: Where is The Lyceum?

sj26The Lyceum is listed as one of the objectives for the No Stone Unturned achievement, yet nobody seems to know where it is. Where is it?

17:40
@Oak ahhh, well, demon slaughter is not exactly kid friendly.
Oak

@agent86 man, I still remember getting worried as a 7-year-old that my mom will see me shooting enemies in Doom with the rocket launcher
They kind of melted into a bloody pile
yeah, my eldest is 4, and he found the image of a skull on certain snowboarding runs in SSX to be scary. I don't think he'd enjoy this game much.
okay, I hunger and must eat, bbl
@TimStone well it is pretty damn extreme...but still pretty annoying. it was bad enough when Patapon did it, and Patapon had the almost logical reason that pausing would break the rhythm...but that's enough of a gameplay detriment...so just don't remove pausing

Q: How to move the body of someone I killed myself?

ErikI have just started playing the original Deus Ex. How can I move the body of someone I killed or rendered unconscious? If I activate a body, it only acts like a container. I was able to move the bodys of those that I didn't kill on my own after the first mission.

Q: Will there continue to be 48-hour accept timer for self answered questions?

KtashWith the recent change that you can ask and answer at the same time, I'm curious if that will effect the 48-hour delay in accepting your own answer as correct. Will it be eliminated? Shortened? Increased? Goes nowhere and I'm off my rocker for even thinking it might?

I really want to play some Diablo 3.
I originally wasn't all that excited for it, but now I really feel like playing it.
@Wipqozn he learns
meanwhile I really want to play DayZ
@Mana It's really enjoyable, although the servers are really overloaded.
I was playing earlier, but stopped after dying due to some bugs.
Which is expected mind you, since it's an alpha, but was still annoying enough that I didn't feel like jumping right back into it again.
I think it was the server I was playing on more than anything. Zombies, loot,inventory, et cetera was all acting up. The game is buggy, but it's never been that bad for me.
18:18
@Wipqozn I think the most trouble I've had in that game is inventory related.
Aside from joining a server with 40 players and 1200 zombies...
@Fluttershy The zombie spawning in general is bugged right now.
It was a bug in the current patch.
Better than the previous version though, which didn't spawn nearly enough.
@Wipqozn I remember you saying that. It seems to be spawning a new zombie every 10 seconds or something ridiculous like that.
@Fluttershy Yeah, it has some problems.
Also, yayyy! A new Diablo 3 question for meeeeeee. =3
Ooooh. Reflects Damage champions. Not fun.
18:20
If he fixed the respawn timer than I think the number of zombies in cities would be perfect. LArge cities should have a crapton of zombies in them. Unless you go in with a sizable group you should need to stealth our way through to not die.
But barns and small towns should only have a handful of zombies (if any at all).
Speaking of multiplayer zombie games, Zombie Grinder.
Your lone houses/barns/et cetera should have 5 zombies max. small towns 15 max. Although in both cases the average number which spawn should be half their maximum.

@RavenDreamer US mice just weren't elite enough for you?
No, it was more that my first mouse I had won in a contest, and when that broke, I didn't want a new mouse, I wanted my old mouse, damnit.
An Ideazon Reaper Z.
And the cheapest it was offered was from Canada.
And now that has died, so I've purchased a new mouse again.

Oak
Oak
@FAE the end result is that I never salvage anymore
I also don't bother combining gems, because gemstones are being sold below the price of what it takes to combine them

I guess what's bothering me is the combination of the auction house with fixed prices for some other items, like selling, crafting, and combining gems

I don't think I'll be able to make it

Haha, dammit @Oak, I was actually pondering asking that question about the Guest passes yesterday
I thought it might be too trivial though
yeah, the auction house is crazy. to me, it's another game in and of itself
I do feel like I'm twinking (hope I'm using that term properly...) pretty hard at this point
I also imagine once you get past Normal, there's probably fewer things that are this crazy underpriced on there
but I can just go into the AH, search for INT +10 or higher, plus whatever other enchantments I want, set the buyout price to ~1-5k or so, and then pick up whatever rare item I want...
I've been rolling all yellows for days now
@FAE We could probably get you in the running for a shirt, anyway.

@RavenDreamer I wouldn't feel right
If you have the knowledge, what does it matter if you own the game?

I don't have the game and can't answer with experience, I wouldn't want to do it just for the contest.
Normally I'd be more okay with that, but I dunno, I just feel weird about it if it's for contest purposes, even though I really really really like that shirt.
I'm not judging others for doing it at all. :) I just have hangups about it.

Hm.

The guest pass one was the only thing I could think of, but I found the Blizzard FAQ article on it and thought I'd get downvoted to hell for no research >>
Anywho, going afk and laying down for a while, later all
@FAE one thing I've learned is to trust that little voice that says "don't do this, you'd feel weird"
Lay well!
@Oak Hm. I can't see anyone's progress for the contest anymore
Maybe because the contest site just went down.

@RavenDreamer noticed this as well.
Siri, what's the connection between stools and stool samples?

Q: What is the best strategy and location to complete the Controlled Fury achievement?

EBongoThe Controlled Fury achievement requires that you maintain max Fury for five minutes. Controlled Fury Fight with maximum fury for 5 minutes. What is the best strategy to get this achievement? Is there a combination of abilities that makes it easier? Is there a zone I should focus on? I...

Q: Unique Equipped - Two Differently Named Rings

xiathI was wondering in Diablo 3 if I got two different rings, a Manald Heal and Puzzle Ring for example, would I be able to wear both or would it still stop me from wearing one of them? Thanks!

Q: Do all class specific resources decay?

EBongoDo all class specific resources (Fury, etc), slowly decay over time? If so, do they all decay at the same rate? So far I've focused on Barbarian, and I'm trying to understand how similar other classes are, since I party with them, and in the long run I'll play as them.

oh snap
Major server-side upgrade has been rolled out, performance should increase for loading as it propagates over the next hour - Rocket
@Wipqozn I don't know the answers, sorry :(
@agent86 ah, dang.
you might want to ask them as a different question, if you want some better input. I've just been giving out the passes, so far nobody's told me what they can/can't do
@agent86 How many passes did you get anyways? Just 3?
Because I've heard some people only got two, and some more.
Also, I don't think that would be its own question. I'd consider it to be a dup myself.

@Wipqozn that photo in my answer is an actual photo of my guest passes. And part of my desk. And before I cropped it, my toes.
ah, cool
@Wipqozn lol, at first I assumed it was an announcement for Diablo 3

Q: How Do I Select Canister Rounds in Tanks in Battlefield 3?

MitchI've acquired the canister unlock for the T-90 tanks in Battlefield 3 but have no idea how to switch from the default selected rounds, HE?, to any other options. I thought it might be the V key but that doesn't seem to do it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
