Like I stated in the LotG example, the storebought IOs scale automatically within the level range. The crafted IOs ingame can only be used within a certain range. If I crafted a level 25 LotG Defense, it's going to be stuck with that lower Defense value of a level 25 IO. And single percentages make a lot of difference in Defense, especially from 40% to 45% (45% being the soft cap). A storebought IO is going to scale as you level.

fbueckert

@FAE I didn't realize the storebought ones scale.

I wasn't even aware they could do that to IO's.

FAE

@fbueckert Yeeeep. And it's not like they put crap IO sets in the store. They've had Miracle, LotG, Mako's Bite, Numina's, you know, the good stuff.

Wipqozn

tortoise swoosh

FAE

So the people who pay for those sets get sets that are functionally superior ingame, and that's what I don't agree with. :/

fbueckert

@FAE I can't say I agree with it either.

I have yet to see anything in the store that provides any advantage that you can't get ingame at level 50.

If there is, that would definitely put me off.

FAE

15:11

@fbueckert So yeah, that combined with how they handle a lot of other things in the cash shop and such made me decide to drop VIP. I was very sad. :( Also, I'm sorry, I totally didn't mean to go on a rant here, I was just a very big fan of the game for a very long time, and I was sad to see the way things went after the store was implemented.

@fbueckert Well, that's the thing, the scaling IOs from the store do provide a huge advantage to 50's, especially those who exemp a lot. Most of the time, if you're planning to exemp, you have to make a decision as to whether or not you'll get the level 50 IOs or the lower level IOs so you can keep the set bonuses. The scaling range of the store IOs lets you keep those set bonuses in the entire range instead of having the bonuses cut off when you exemp below the IO. :(

Wipqozn

Also, @FAE, I must say. I quite respect how strongly you stand by your principles. Most people would just complain about things like this, but then just give companies their money anyways.

fbueckert

@FAE It provides advantages to 50's. Not at 50.

FAE

@Wipqozn It's really freaking hard.

Wipqozn

@FAE Well, if it was easy, I wouldn't respect you for it :P

FAE

@fbueckert Ah, I think I see what you mean. So things that would give you a bonus for reaching cap?

fbueckert

15:15

@FAE Yeah. I can live with scaling IO's; they just help you and your friends level faster. Providing an advantage not available in game at max level, though...that I really don't like.

FAE

@Wipqozn It's also really hard to feel like it makes any difference, which is why I try not to judge people too harshly for not doing the same thing. When you're looking at companies that make millions and sometimes billions of dollars, it's really hard to feel like not making a single purchase matters. At that point, most people just say "Well they're going to be a success anyway, so I might as well do it and enjoy myself", which I can't say I really blame people for.

fbueckert

If you want an example of a game I will never give money to, it's STO.

I absolutely, positively hate pay-to-win.

FAE

@fbueckert They don't just help with leveling though, they give you a distinct advantage at 50 because your build is more viable in a larger range of content than someone who has ingame crafted IOs. This is an issue even at 50, especially because they do continue to add content that is non-Incarnate and non-50 only. Night Ward's a brand new zone and it's 30-35. Someone with storebought IOs will have a better build doing that content than someone with ingame. A lot of the SSA's were also pre-50.

@fbueckert Likewise.

fbueckert

@FAE From what I understand, the game is scaled around SO levels of power. Even people using level 50 IOs will have an advantage.

The point is, the advantage conferred for content at less than level 50 will allow them to go through content faster. That's it.

FAE

@fbueckert They have stated in the past that it was scaled around SOs, yes, but I really find that assertion difficult to still believe, especially when you look at Incarnate content.

I dunno, CoH was never made for an endgame, and Incarnate content still feels a bit shoehorned in. Kind of like PvP.

fbueckert

15:23

@FAE I agree with you about PvP; never a fan.

Incarnate content though...I think it's been really well done.

@FAE The only way to find out is to deck a level 30 guy out in SO's and run the new content.

FAE

@fbueckert I like arena style PvP and even open world once in a while but CoH's is so... baaaaaad. Especially the zone PvP. The i13 changes totally killed my Dominator's viability. :(

fbueckert

The bonus provided by IO's would make it easier, but I think a pure SO build will still do just fine.

FAE

@fbueckert It's a little better now that it's all out, but grinding out BAFs and Lambdas over and over and over and over suuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.

Wipqozn

@FAE Yes, exactly.

Well, I really only came back to tell you I respected you and all soo

tortoise swoosh

FAE

And it's especially rough for people who only have small groups to game with.

fbueckert

15:29

@FAE That, I can agree with.

@FAE That's what joining open groups is for.

FAE

@fbueckert Did you ever PUG a BAF in the beginning? That was... not pleasant.

fbueckert

@FAE Yes. And you're right, it wasn't fun. My mastermind still has trouble with it.

But with the changes to Dark Astoria, there is now solo Incarnate content.

FAE

@fbueckert MMs in Incarnate trials were awful in the beginning. :( At least they've got the boost now, but it can still be dodgy.

@fbueckert Yeah, I'm glad they added that.

fbueckert

I like how we can have a sane discussion of opposing viewpoints without it descending into obscenities and screaming fits.

FAE

@fbueckert It's always refreshing. :)

Maybe someday, someday, all our characters won't have mitten-hands...

fbueckert

15:34

@FAE Heh. I'm hoping for CoH 2. Non-mitten hands!

The only improvement. Full stop. :P

FAE

Hahaha, yeah, if it ever happens, it'd have to be in a new game. They've already stated that it'd just take too much time to go back and change everything (I still keep the redname feed in my RSS reader to keep up on news and stuff).

So what are your mains? Mine were a Dark/Dark Scrapper and a Mind/Thorns Dominator (not a popular combo re: the Dom, but it was my first character I ever rolled, so I didn't know that at the time).

She is perma though, and I was quite proud of getting her to perma, because it took me like 2 years to get around to finishing her build, haha.

agent86

@fbueckert WHAT? NO SCREAMING AND NO OBSCENITIES? This is the INTERNET, sir, and we will NOT have this level of discourse UNGUNKING UP OUR GUNKY PIPES. I DEMAND THAT YOU SWEAR AND THROW A HISSY FIT RIGHT THIS MINUTE.

@fbueckert So I've been told! I'm pondering starting, but I have this braintick that makes it hard for me to not start things at the beginning. I'm compelled to start with like... the very beginning of the series...

user30

Whoa, companies are all over them camera apps.

fbueckert

@FAE My first-ever 50 was my Ninja/Poison MM. I started him when CoV first came out. I named all my ninjas after the TMNT. Shredder was my Oni.

user30

15:44

Camera+: It started with Adobe, then went to Zynga (for The Heist, not really for Camera+), then Google. And most recently, Twitter.

fbueckert

@FAE The 2005 re-start is where I started. Good place.

FAE

@Sterno Crap, and I probably should've been more offended at his assertion that I'm denying myself enjoyment and raged at him that he can't tell me what to do.

fbueckert

@FAE I understand that Poison is one of the more rare secondaries for MM's.

agent86

15:47

@FAE the only thing I'd consider watching first if I had an episode of doctor who to watch is maybe the BBC sherlock.

Tim Stone

fbueckert

I tried to build my characters around not requiring Stamina. Before it became an inherent for everyone.

agent86

@FAE don't get me wrong, it starts slow, and it's got its off moments. but it's the best sci-fi show on tv.

FAE

@fbueckert I have a Zombies/Poison 50. That... was a tough slog. Poison has no direct mitigation and zombies are squishy. x_x

fbueckert

@FAE So are ninjas. Hence why I took Leadership. ALL of it.

FAE

15:48

@fbueckert Inherent Stamina was the best thing eveeeeeeeeeeer. Except I had to respec like 20+ characters at the time.

fbueckert

@FAE I didn't have to re-spec any. They just all got a bonus! neener neener

FAE

I think I still have some characters with the Fitness pool Stamina because I was lazy.

fbueckert

@agent86 There. Does that fulfill the hate quotient?

agent86

@fbueckert I suppose, for now.

FAE

@fbueckert My first Stamina-less build was a Fire/Mental Blaster built around using Drain Psyche. I popped so many blues before I hit 20, man...

She has amazing AoE, but holy crap is she End-heavy. Totally worth it though.

fbueckert

15:50

@FAE I've always been about building sustainable characters. Requiring regular outside help (inspirations, friends, whatever) grated on me.

agent86

@FAE like the first episode, it shows a lot of promise. the writing's pretty good, but the effects are meh and the acting is kinda bleh. by the end of the first season, though, they get in their groove, and all of the tennant run is a blast. it's intelligent, twisty tv that stands up to repeat viewings. you don't realize they're screaming the surprises at you constantly, until the finale where all the pieces click together and awesome stuff happens.

FAE

@fbueckert Yeah, I'm really bad about using inspirations (or consumables in any game, really). I often just sit with a full tray. I do know some people who use binds to combine them into say, reds all the time and eat them, but I never got around to that.

fbueckert

@agent86 I totally called the end of the last season. Like, 20 minutes before it happened.

agent86

it's like if you took a show that showed a lot of promise, and instead of it disappointing, it shines and delivers.

FAE

@agent86 Ah, gotcha. That does sound fun.

@agent86 Looking at you, Heroes-after-Season-1...

fbueckert

15:52

@agent86 Yeah. The first couple episodes take a bit. But they really get into it after their first two-parter. And with Tennant, they crank it straight to 12.

agent86

@fbueckert yeah, this last season had its moments. I don't always enjoy the finale payoff, but it always seems to deliver pretty well.

@fbueckert The Writer's Strike really hurt Season 2 and it just never really recovered after that...

FAE

@agent86 I shall keep that in mind!

Kappei

@FAE same for me

FAE

@Kappei You're right, it does still hurt, let's change the subject, haha.

agent86

@FAE if you get into it, I think you'd also enjoy torchwood, the spinoff series. they've got some real adult themes, kind of like if you took buffy the vampire slayer and weren't afraid to have more sexuality, explore more complex relationships, etc. the more recent "miniseries" installments haven't been as good, but there's some dovetailing between a few episodes of doctor who and torchwood as well.

anyhow, I will stop gushing now, sorry :)

FAE

@agent86 Yeah, I've heard really good stuff about Torchwood.

Haha, s'all good

agent86

15:57

but also the new BBC sherlock. some creative overlap between the two, and it's also quite excellent, intelligent television.

they're showing it on PBS in the states at this point, so I can watch it in HD :P

FAE

PBS is in HD now?

agent86

@FAE yeah, practically all broadcast tv is in HD

FAE

Wow, craziness.

I had to explain HD to my mom a couple months ago.

agent86

in fact, it's kind of weird, since they just cut the frame down for SD PBS

Camera+ seems like an obvious move for FB, they've probably had it in the works for ages. They didn't buy Instagram to use their tech (they'd probably been developing Camera+ for a long time prior to the release) but to kill the threat. Camera+ is a big step onto Instagram's turf.

The fact that it has Instagram style filters has more to do with the fact that it has the kitchen sink on it's feature list than it does anything to do with being in the same category.

agent86

@Sterno if your wife is in charge of feeding, most of being a dad the first few months is keeping the baby asleep for as long as possible.

it gets easier when they get older and you can just send them to bed, and then harder again when you have more and all their schedules have to overlap in order to get any gaming time in.

or you could just cheat and get interested in E-rated games, or play games that you can pause/overlay quickly (ie, single player steam games)

Both my witch doctor & wizard are just about level 60 and I am preparing to go try out inferno. I like the casters so much I can't decide which one should be my main. My friends (all melee characters) tell me that act 2 inferno is significantly harder then act 1, so I should be gearing for ac...

This guy wants us to do all his thinking for him.

@fbueckert Yeah I think we have a question for all the classes that sounds like that now.

Ronan Forman

@James Send an email to stackgaming's gmail.

James

I think I posted what are good stats for a life steal barbarian.. turns out life steal barbarians suck

@RonanForman No idea what that address is man

Ronan Forman

@James Can you not guess it?

James

@RonanForman Correct I suck at things like that

Ronan Forman

Well the username is stackgaming and it's a gmail account, they normally end in @gmail.com

@James Still not got it?

James

17:16

@RonanForman Nah I can get it when ya tell me what it is :)

And what should requested email say?

Ronan Forman

groan [email protected]

James

@RonanForman Not what is it, delete that :P

Why am I emailing that address?

Ronan Forman

@James I need your email, and I don't like asking people for it on a public site.

fbueckert

It almost seems you two are talking about two different things.

James

@RonanForman Should have just asked for it man.. I can type it out and then just delete it after you copy/paste

Email was sent though, says Tada

@fbueckert He speaks English I speak American... Some times things get lost in translation :D

fbueckert

17:19

@James Somebody clear that email out of chat.

James

@fbueckert Only he can do that.

Ronan Forman

@fbueckert Why? It's public anyway.

@James You should now have all the passwords and things, make my videos public when yours is up.

fbueckert

@RonanForman Google likes to index the chat room. If it's your email, then hey, no arguments from me if you want to keep it there.

James

@RonanForman kk

Ronan Forman

@fbueckert It's also in this meta post

James

17:21

@RonanForman Ah, kk. Sounds good

fbueckert

@RonanForman Like I said, if it's yours, no argument from me.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman I've got it!

What about Terreria for the new saturday game? It's not free, but very popular around these here parts.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn I dunno, something free would probably be better. Like Trackmania.

@Wipqozn Also, there are non-free games in the rotation, right?

You should add Metal Drift.

James

@GnomeSlice Not that I have seen unless you count minecraft.

Its just been LoL and Minecraft until Diablo since I have been paying attention :)

GnomeSlice

...Diablo isn't free...

James

17:29

@GnomeSlice Hence the word Until

GnomeSlice

Ah, missed that one.

Wipqozn

We prefer free games, but we play non-free games well.

Killing Floor is one example.

James

We should play L4D2 :D

Wipqozn

We've done that too. We'll probably play it again.

Alt5hough I don't think the turn out was great the first time we did it.

Also, @GnomeSlice, I'm concerned Metal Drift doesn't have a large enough fan base on the site.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Yeah, probably not.

A: Game On! restructured

For retro stuff: Goldeneye Source

That could be interesting.

I need to figure out what this weeks fourth week will be.

Right now I'm thinking perhaps Goldeneye source + one of the free games gnome suggested.

Nick T

Can you play Source Mods without paying money now?

Wipqozn

@NickT Not as far as I know.

In anycase

@Wipqozn tortoise swoosh

James

@Wipqozn wait a second.. They do NOT swoosh.

GnomeSlice

Bleurgh, I don't know how to work with Vectors.

LessPop_MoreFizz

xip.io This is rad.

Ullallulloo

17:43

@NickT Yes, you can just download TF2.

Nick T

I thought that didn't work though; they've been able to restrict that in the past; e.g. Portal: First Slice; has Source engine but you can't use mods with it.

Q: Which data is transferred when I watch a game on Steam?

I press the “play“ button on Steam client to launch DOTA 2, while I am watching a game. When I press the “watch“ button , I see the title “loading“ on the screen. Which kind of data (graphics or mouse movements or what) is pulled from the files on my computer, and which are transferred from the ...

Q: Wrestling wwe12

I'm planing on purchasing this wrestling game but I've seen what the history of the wwf and what activities those divas did. Thankfully it was censored. Is there any nudity in this game cause I'm against nudity?

save-games

James

@GnomeSlice I think its just cause the guy mentions he is considering purchasing the game

I do not think people even finished reading the rest of the question to see that it is a valid question

GnomeSlice

@James Wow, seriously?

It's not a buying-advice question.

:/

James

17:51

Well I can not see any reason for it to be closed, the guy wants to know about nudity in a game, that is a valid question regardless of why he wants to know.

GnomeSlice

Precisely... voting to reopen.

Sterno

Apparently commodity auctions are in the process of being restored today.

fbueckert

@Sterno They were back up yesterday

Sterno

@fbueckert Really? I checked somewhere around the time we played yesterday and it didn't seem to be working.

fbueckert

@Sterno They were certainly up. I was even going to try to make some money crafting gems and selling them.

James

17:54

@GnomeSlice As did I, I also just edited out the word Purchasing from there so people can read the rest of it

@Sterno Yeah they were active with that 1.0.2b whatever patch I believe.

@GnomeSlice Need a couple more votes to re-open this.. I would kindly welcome those who closed it to read the post and reconsider :)

fbueckert

And commodities count towards your ten item limit.

They really need to remove that.

Sterno

Hrm. Wonder if I just searched for something that had 0 items up

Anyway, time to sell some gems!

fbueckert

@Sterno Sure. Take my idea. I don't mind at all.
