badp

13:04

so basically Hardcore Diablo 3 is kinda like a roguelike

StrixVaria

@badp Diablo is a roguelike, originally.

Each game has strayed further away, but that's the core.

Mr Smooth

Is interactable a word? I could swear it is, but the internet seems to disagree seeing as I can't find it in any dictionaries. Some games do use it though.

Ian Pugsley

good morning, internet!

StrixVaria

@IanPugsley It would be good if I were still playing D3. As it stands, it's mediocre.

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria awww, is someone back at their job?

StrixVaria

13:10

Yeah D:

Mr Smooth

D3's down for maintenance anyway isn't it?

StrixVaria

@MrSmooth Oh that might explain why I got disconnected this morning.

They seriously need to do that in the middle of the night, not during morning pre-work hours.

Mr Smooth

Sucks coz I finally got the game, get to level 5 > maintenance.

badp

@StrixVaria what's the difference?

StrixVaria

@badp Most of the people (sorry Australia) who play in this server have the same off-hours time.

badp

13:12

you're just probably on the wrong coast of the US :P

StrixVaria

Bah.

badp

(everything pacific-coast-based blows when it comes to timezones)

StrixVaria

In any case, I completely re-built my Witch Doctor (skill-wise) last night and was able to start soloing Act IV Hell, which was nice.

badp

6 hours diff I can work around, 9? eh.

skovacs1

@badp It's still going to be down until 9 AM PST so it will still be down during pre-work hours there.

badp

13:13

@skovacs1 9 AM is pre-work?!

FAE

@badp Fully agree. >_<

Mr Smooth

At least you guys have it pre work. For me in Aus, it starts at around 6pm, and goes until about 2am.

badp

@skovacs1 besides "pre-work hours" is a lie, there's no such thing. There is only sleep, a sleepy painful wake up and a sleepy commute

skovacs1

@badp When do you start work?

Mr Smooth

That's prime playing time.

badp

13:14

I start lessons at 0830~

StrixVaria

@badp I am a morning person.

badp

and I'd anticipate offices to start working at 9am precisely

StrixVaria

There's painful sleep, then waking up and being wide awake immediately.

FAE

@badp I've found that 9 hours is just enough to time difference to be a pain for everything, especially trying to talk with friends if either one of you have work/school. :(

skovacs1

@badp Then even if you were in Pacific Time Zone, you still wouldn't be able to play before work.

badp

13:15

bbl

skovacs1

@badp That depends on if/when you sleep.

badp

even If I were to start work at 1200 I'd stay up til 0200/0300 and wake up as late as I can afford to anyway :P

FAE

@Lazers I can't believe that this got 4 answers before it was closed x_X

skovacs1

@badp Whereas I like to crash after I get in and then I'm fresh for everything to come. I get kind of drowsy towards the end of the work day, but which is more important, work or everything else?

@FAE There have been a lot of lemons getting a bunch of answers before close and the answers are not winners either.

@FAE I do agree that timezone differences are highly inconvenient.

FAE

@skovacs1 I hate it. So much. Words cannot express my hate.

But I'm also someone who's been in and out of several long distance relationships over the past 10 years and am still in 2 now, so that I admit that colors my dislike.

skovacs1

13:24

@FAE 2? Either way, I've never really had much in the way of personal relationships so I cannot claim to understand. My feelings on timezone differences begin and end with irksome and inconvenient.

FAE

@skovacs1 I am polyamorous, so I am involved in more than one committed relationship at once. I have like 4 SO's at the moment.

Wipqozn

I'm uncertain if I ever posted this in here before, but it's awesome, so listen to it, now:

I imagine @Gnomeslice will enjoy it. Although it looks like I can't ping him right now. Damn. I blame society.

swoosh

skovacs1

@FAE Like I said. Cannot claim to understand. Not going into details, but if it works for you, whatever.

FAE

@skovacs1 It does. :) All involved parties are aware of each other and consenting, otherwise that'd be cheating, which is not cool.

Krazer

@FAE What about jealousy? It must happen from time to time, no?

skovacs1

13:37

@FAE It sounds like something out of various anime to me. Beyond my personal world experience really. But timezones suck - that I understand.

Sterno

farming has earned my ire.

FAE

@Krazer Jealousy is something you deal with when it happens. Communicating your needs and wants within a relationship and addressing insecurities through that communication often means you can work through it. And some people just aren't wired to be jealous, but feel compersion instead. :)

@skovacs1 The wiki article has a lot of decent information should you feel inclined to pursue further knowledge and I am open about that aspect of my life should you feel curious. And yeah, they do, working around a 7 hour time difference when trying to spend time with your SO sucks.

Krazer

@FAE I'm jealous at your lack of jealousy xD

Sterno

@FAE Now I've learned the word "frubbly", which is an awesome-sounding word

FAE

@Krazer Hehe. Well, there's a very important difference between envy and jealousy. Envy is "You have this thing and I wish I had it too", which is a normal sentiment for people. Jealousy is "You have this thing and I don't want you to have it", which can be much more destructive than just envy.

@Sterno It is a fun word, indeed, and compersion is a lovely emotion, one of my favorites.

Sterno

13:45

Jealousy is the feeling you get when you're at work and some other jerk is at home playing Diablo 3!

Krazer

@FAE I now recognize that my jealousy is also probably part envy. ;p

@Sterno not when it's down for maintenance!

Is there any way to do something to the environmental objects that can be interacted with (dead bodies, stumps, barrels etc) that is similar to how loot works. Can I make the name (the same name that appears upon hover) be permanently next to the object as I can do so with loot? Or is there any...

Q: Does the Nephalim Valor buff affect the whole group (regardless of level)?

When playing Diablo III with a friend who's level 60 (I'm level 59), he would acquire the Nephalim Valor buff as we would farm mobs. However despite being present for the entire duration of every fight, there was no indicator on my screen that I had received the buff. Here's my two part question:...

diablo-3

Sterno

@Krazer I'm pretty sure that's just the intense power of my jealousy and hatred radiating out strongly enough to take their servers down.

FAE

@Krazer Jealousy comes in many forms, but they all can be worked through if all parties are willing to communicate and take steps to deal with it. :) Feeling jealousy is in itself not wrong, we can't control our emotional reactions to stuff. But we can take steps to deal with our reactions and lessen their negative fallout.

Saying to someone, "You shouldn't feel jealous" is basically trying to tell them how to feel and isn't very constructive. But talking through and getting to the reasons of why they're feeling jealous, what is hurting them, and how you can lessen that hurt is important.

Krazer

@FAE Listening to you talk about jealously makes me want to go out and hug ppl.

FAE

13:50

@Krazer This is a good thing! Yay for hugs! Consensual hugs, at least.

Krazer

virtual huggles to all

FAE

@ThomasMcDonald It's warm here too. My desk faces Jochem's, so it's now becoming the season where he hates it when I game because my PC then blows all its hot air on his legs.

I knew someone would show up on that security post and start whiteknighting.

Ronan Forman

I think it's time to learn python again.

I took the day off to go through vectors and group theory again.

I think my goal today is to clean off my desk because it's starting to become... archaeological, in nature, trying to find something on it.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman It's always time to learn Python.

Python = <3

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE That is the best kind of desk though.

@Wipqozn Doesn't python == <3?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Not when there's also dishes on it.

Once your piles of stuff start becoming architecture, where 'no, you can't move that book because it's holding up the right hand side of that pile of CD's'... it's a special kind of art. :P

@FAE Well, how dirty are we talking about, re: dishes?

FAE

@LessPop_MoreFizz Right now I have this tall tower of a .5l can of beer with a medium McDonald's milkshake cup balanced on it that I put the wrap container on top of to balance it for the fun of it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

FAE

I'm tempted to try to work the Pringles can in there somehow, but I don't think it would end well.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE I have been known to use empty coffee cups as miniature garbage cans, and once I line up a half a dozen full ones to trash them all at once, personally.

FAE

14:00

Mostly though, it's the fact that my various Piles o'Stuff are starting to get high enough to block the bottom of my monitor, which then makes it so I can't see toolbars in fullscreen games sometimes. >_>

user15026

@FAE See, most of my piles o'stuff are on the floor -around- the desk, so I can still see what is going on.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I can't do that because my apartment is tiny and my desk is in the living room, so I'd end up blocking walking area.

Though I do appropriate the end of the couch too much for Jochem's liking because it's near my desk. XD

user15026

@FAE Oh, I am bad for that - we have 2 loveseats in the living room and my desk is behind one - the roommate usually gets frustrated because only one is actually free to sit on, because my stuff is occupying the second one.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Yeah, Jochem is way taller than I am so he needs more room on the couch if he wants to lay down on it and my stuff usually makes it so he uh, can't. It doesn't get in my way because I'm so much shorter, haha.

user15026

@FAE I have been known to creatively lounge over piles because I am tall and lazy XD

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Clever girl.

@AshleyNunn Yeah the couch was extra bad a couple weeks ago, covering too much even for me, so I just sort of sprawled on stuff and Jochem said "WTF, it's like you're a cat!"

Q: Are there items similiar to charms?

In Diablo 2 (I believe they came in LoD) there were Charms. Items that gave you buffs by just having them in your inventory. Is there anything even close to this system in Diablo 3, or is it only your gear and passives that give you stats.

@RavenDreamer It occurs to me I could troll you by up voting a bunch of peoples post so they all reach Act 4, thereby reducing your chance of winning the monitor. Assuming of course it's not done on a "first come first serve" basis.

I wouldn't do that mind you, since it would be unethical!

Just a thought.

Raven Dreamer

But if you do that, you might bankrupt stackexcahnge, and that means no more contests ever again!

I'm surprised no one pinned that the first time it was posted.

Ian Pugsley

@FAE I feel like those reviews were really light on information

maybe the video had more, I didn't get to watch it

FAE

@FAE I second @Wipqozn's question

Raven Dreamer

I suggest slogging.

agent86

@FAE y'know, I'm not gunning for it, but I think I'm going to end up there anyhow.

Raven Dreamer

Everyone should slog.

agent86

next week is mandatory vacation at work, so I'm likely to be playing and around the site pretty frequently

Ian Pugsley

@RavenDreamer doesn't that reduce your chances of winning?

Wipqozn

14:36

@agent86 Is mandatory vacation slang for I was given a 1-week suspension for hitting on the secretary?

Raven Dreamer

...so? I'd rather be the beloved moderator who didn't win a prize than the utter douchebag who bullied people into not trying to win contests.

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer Really? That's odd. I'd much rather be the utter douchebag.

agent86

I think LPMF, Oak, and heishe have act 4 in the bag, tbh

we're only like... a week in, and I think all of them are on the home stretch

Wipqozn

@agent86 Oak and Heishe will hit it for sure, and I think pop probably will as well. He still has to post ~30 more questions though.

FAE

@IanPugsley Video has a little bit more I think, I didn't watch through the whole thing because I'm not in the running, just watched the first couple minutes. The review is like 6.5 minutesish.

Raven Dreamer

14:38

@agent86 LPMF needs the volume for the 70 posts, though. The other two already have that.

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer Yeah, exactly. That's why I'm a little uncertain about pop. I think he will manage to hit it, but it'll probably be a close call.

agent86

@RavenDreamer yeah, but he's got time on his side. 2 weeks give or take left in the contest and he's more than halfway there.

making posts that get at least +1 is pretty trivial

Sterno

I didn't even try for this contest. 80 +1 posts just seems like a lot of noise

14:43

@RonanForman The problem is that if you make the threshold too high people are less likely to try. By having a lower threshold for the first act you'll get a lot of users posting questions/answer in higher volumes than they normally would have, thus drawing in more new users to the site.

Ronan Forman

If SE just wanted to seem like a cool company that gave out t-shirts they'd just give everyone a t-shirt

Wipqozn

The whole idea of these promotions is to increase our userbase/views/TEH MONEYZ.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn @agent86 'spose.

agent86

a low bar (like the first act) gives incentives to new people to participate (hey, I can post a few things and maybe get a shirt!) while the high bar gives incentives for others to produce as much quality content as possible

honestly, even if there wasn't a contest, I'd be doing pretty much the same thing. one of my answers I am keeping up to date and adding new info to, even though it's way past the contest score threshold

if I wanted to maximize my contest output per unit time invested, I'd ignore everything above +8

@agent86 Hiring a few helper gnomes would also be useful.

I don't really find the contest to be that much of an incentive, given the low odds of winning compared to the effort invested, but I certainly think it's better than nothing at all.

Wipqozn

@agent86 yeah, a few people have expressed the same thing.

Definite improvements over what they offered in the base game, like potions stack to more than 20, you can rebind keys from within the game without having to use something like Torchleech/Hotspot, lots of QoL stuff like that. When you send your pet to the store, they can buy potions for you, which is neat.

@RonanForman personally I prefer 2 space indents. Also, don't mix tabs and spaces for indentation or you could throw a TabError

@RonanForman Use whatever you like. If you want 4 spaces, use 4 spaces. If you like tabs, use tabs. Whatever you do, do it consistently.

Aha! I've found a tutorial for 3, that should help.

Q: Is my Spirit (or any other ability resource) rounded up/down?

I am looking at the Monk's The Guardian's Path passive ability, which generates 25% more spirit when using a 2H weapon. My default attacks give me 6 spirit per attack, so how much spirit does this passive give me? 7.5 spirit per attack (there's a hidden decimal point) 7 spirit per attack (roun...

Q: Monk stats for inferno trip

Hi I am trying different item build to see which one fits better on inferno dificulty. I am no asking about skill build, but stats! I have seen that the monk of Method guild have more than 53k, so I guess he is focusing on vit. And if he uses the passive "One with everything", it makes me thin...

Q: Finding Good BF3 Servers

Can you give tips/guidelines/advice on how to find good games in BF3? Before DICE allowed anyone and everyone to rent servers (Consoles), you could easily find a decent game by choosing Quick Match. The few DICE servers ensured decent size teams. Now I mostly get dropped into 500 ticket servers...

Q: +% dmg on weapons

Just a quick question, on some weapons it would say for example 500dps and for stats it would say +20%dmg +120 vit etc. Is that +20% damage incorporated with the 500dps shown or is it 500dps + an additional 20% damage? I assume it is incorporated otherwise it would make those weapons a bit too o...

Q: Reset followers skills

Can I somehow reset skills of my follower(Templar/enchanter/scoundrel)? I already distributed the given points but would like to change them now.

@Sorean oh man, grats

Took a while I'd say when I only play certain games :P

Hello Nick T!

FAE

Diablo 3 players, is this a dupe of this?

Oak

@Sorean congrats, you addict :)

Sorean

I just like the site :)

@FAE Tough call because he's asking about a particular range, 59-60.

Oak

15:19

@FAE in title only, I think. One is faster leveling, the other is farming for the final few, demanding, levels. Both will have radically different answers.

FAE

@Oak Should the title of the first perhaps be adjusted to reflect that for search purposes then?

Sorean

Wow, I didn't realize I get to see deleted answers as a mod.

Kinda neat.

Oak

@FAE editing it right now

@FAE done, thanks :)

Woo!

@Ian I went through and watched the entire review, they didn't say anything that much more substantial than the text did. I wish they would've gone into a bit more detail about the sound quality aspect, like which range of sound (low/mid/high tones) the headphones aren't so great it, but unfortunately they didn't.

But it's also just, y'know, G4, so my expectations weren't super high either.

Ian Pugsley

@FAE those reviews basically just consisted of "Here are a couple specs that you could find online. These are pretty cool!"

Ronan Forman

Hey @fredley do you want to do some recording tonight?

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 Gaaaah! Did you see! They brought back Mutons and Sectoids and not the skinny MIB style aliens that are in the FPS!

fredley

@RonanForman Yeh, I'm up for that. Helluva day, I'll be free later in the evening

FAE

@IanPugsley Yeah, pretty much.

@Sterno They've extended the Torchlight II beta period to Thursday, if you get time.

Raven Dreamer

15:37

@FAE still only for those who preordered, yea?

FAE

@RavenDreamer Nope. I preordered and didn't get in. If you register for a Runic account on their website, you have a chance to get in.

I didn't do it until Saturday night and still got in for this session even though it started on Friday.

Ronan Forman

@fredley DMA says he'll be free after 7.

fredley

@RonanForman Ok, probably a bit later for me, doubt I'll be leaving work before then at this rate

Ronan Forman

@fredley Oh right, helluva day.

Q: Should we start putting Diablo 3 lore questions into a tag?

With Diablo 3 firing on all cylinders, players are progressing at vastly different rates. There are starting to be more and more questions about the lore from people who have finished the game. The problem is, a lot of these questions could be considered spoilers for those who have not finished. ...

I want to sign up for the battle.net SMS thingy, but it says my phone is prepaid and therefore ineligible

@FAE I'm using virgin mobile, so it's month-to-month, and I guess there's some chance I'm in the mafia and using prepaid phones to hide my trail or something?

@agent86 I don't understand the purpose of them limiting that to plan-only phones

@FAE I watched law and order once, and people were using prepaid phones for crime - law and order knows best.
