15:01

@Yuuki Okay, so how do you unlock the thing that allows you to do two actions at once?

Frank

@SaintWacko I just got the castle right before I left for work.

So. Much. Space!

SaintWacko

@Frank Right? I just bought the palace!

I'm trying to train skills right now, but with some of my maxes in the high 20s it takes forever

Frank

@SaintWacko I maxed out all my lore and language skills yesterday.

Didn't want to be active, so just let it go at ~40 (or 60?) XP/second

Elva

gasps I saw an @Ave youtube comment!

Frank

Codices do wonders for lore XP.

Became a mage over the weekend.

I now have my own apprentice.

So I have to watch my back he doesn't try to murder me in my sleep.

Yuuki

15:08

@SaintWacko Do you have the clep-whatever thing?

You need to start getting points in chronomancy, essentially.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Yeah, turned out I wasn't quite high enough tier to unlock chronomancy lol

Frank

No tier 3 classes unlocked yet.

SaintWacko

@Frank Yeah, I'm just waiting for that to be the way the game ends

@Frank No kidding

Yuuki

I got tier 4 over the weekend, almost maxed out every skill, kinda not sure what else to do.

There's no way I'm going to try maxing out my nature lore skill since my cap is in the 60s.

Frank

@Yuuki Sounds like that's what you're supposed to do.

SaintWacko

15:11

I'm tier 3 right now, crafting the mats for tier 4 right now

Yuuki

Side note, don't leave your task on traveling overnight.

Frank

What tier 3 classes are there?

Yuuki

I got like 40 max nature lore that I'm never going to be reaching for.

@Ave :(

SaintWacko

15:12

Also, my main source of money now is selling scrolls

Yuuki

My main source of money is running two gold-generating tasks at once.

Elva

@Ave Yup!

SaintWacko

Okay there we go, Tier 4

Steve-o169

I have a Tier 5 class available but it needs 20k research and 30 tomes 😒

SaintWacko

@Steve-o169 Oh wow. I could afford that, but I don't have any tier 5 classes unlocked

Frank

15:20

@Steve-o169 Tomes are easy.

Research, less so, but just time consuming.

Steve-o169

I have 160 Tomes, just not the research

Frank

Sublimate lore every which way, and you'll get it in no time.

Yuuki

> A Yellowstone park ranger reported seeing a woman spreading honey on her 6 year old son's face. He questioned the tourist about why she was doing that and she said "so I can get a picture of the bears licking his face of course!"

@Frank I've actually only used Sublimate Lore like... twice.

Frank

@Yuuki It's an easy way to get more research capacity.

SaintWacko

@Frank My Research capacity comes from 875 Codices :P

Yuuki

15:25

Deleted that last sentence because 1) it's a bit rude and 2) completely nonsensical because the mother is being dumb and the kid is the one who would get eaten not the mother.

I'm at the point where I have way too much research cap.

Frank

@SaintWacko I had 600+. But I see no reason to stay at max when they're generated automatically.

SaintWacko

@Frank I just keep them at max for the research generation

Or I did

Now it's not quite so necessary

Yuuki

I have some upgrade that scribes scrolls/tomes/codices automatically and I just buy furniture that increases my cap and improves the effect on max research.

SaintWacko

Oh, and for the Lore training

Frank

@SaintWacko That's the only time I keep max codices.

Otherwise, sublimate them before I go to bed/go to work, and my max research is so much higher.

Q: How does the enderchest determine the player accessing it?

So, I recently wanted to replay a world, which I hosted as a server. I played with another account back then and I had to transfer inventories using NBT-Explorer. I also had an ender chest with all my diamonds/valuables in it to protect it from the other players. The problem is: I don't know how ...

@InvaderSkoodge congrats!

Re arcanum -- what do you need to do to unlock chronomancy?

Frank

@ToxicFrog This is also of interest to me.

ToxicFrog

15:48

I'm basically exploding out in all directions skill-wise, but the floorspace mechanics really want me to specialize :/

Also, I like the crunch in this game but it could really use more fluff; half the skills and actions don't even have any flavour text.

Frank

@ToxicFrog Mix and match. Focus on one skill at a time, learn it as high as you can, and then sell the furniture and move on to the next.

Steve-o169

I've got it but no idea how... I just know I have 19 skill points and nothing to use them on

Yuuki

@ToxicFrog I know for sure that you need at least one clep-whatever thingie. It's a furniture.

ToxicFrog

@Frank repeatedly buying and selling furniture is really annoying since the search box doesn't let you search by, e.g., which skills it affects.

Frank

@ToxicFrog True. But it's required to do for almost any sort of progress.

You can't get to the Castle/Palace without dedicating most of your space to max gold.

That might be the core bottleneck for progress, actually.

SaintWacko

15:59

@ToxicFrog So much this

Although I can help with that

@ToxicFrog docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/…

ToxicFrog

I haven't even unlocked those yet, I'm still rolling with the Academy

@SaintWacko helpful, thank you! This really should be built in, though. Game needs a few UX passes.

Yuuki

You can unlock other living places based on your tier and skills.

Frank

@ToxicFrog I never even unlocked the Academy.

SaintWacko

@ToxicFrog Yeah, I got bored and decided to put that all together lol

@Frank Same

ToxicFrog

I also need to pick a T2 class at some point...I've got Battlemage, Enchanter, Seer, Mage, and the four elemental classes unlocked.

Frank

16:01

I was in the Half-timber house for much of my tier 2.

Yuuki

Nature lore, in particular, has a lot of living spaces.

SaintWacko

I went Inn -> Temple -> Cavern -> Palace

Can't remember what I used before that

@ToxicFrog Whoa, I never saw Battlemage

ToxicFrog

@Frank I forget what I did to unlock it -- lots of Lore, perhaps? -- but it's fantastic. 20 minions, 300 floor space, +50 research, +0.4 research/s. The next biggest thing I have unlocked is the Temple at 200.

Frank

@SaintWacko An incremental that has replayability!

SaintWacko

@Frank No kidding

ToxicFrog

16:02

@SaintWacko not sure what the requirements are for unlocking it. Possibly going out and kicking a whole lot of ass.

SaintWacko

@ToxicFrog Ah, probably, I haven't done much of that

ToxicFrog

"Pursue the path of battle." T2 class, 550R, 7A, $400. +1 skillpoints, +1 Ascendancy, -50 max research, +1 mana, +0.1mana/second, +2 pyromancy, +1 geomancy.

Yuuki

@Frank And yet lacks a prestige mechanic.

SaintWacko

I just wish I knew when each skill stopped unlocking new things

Yuuki

So far at least.

It's so weird.

SaintWacko

16:04

So I knew when I could stop levelling them

Frank

@Yuuki Yeah, so far.

ToxicFrog

Definitely not something I want, though. The main contenders are Enchanter (boosts enchanting, nature lore, aeromancy, aquamancy), Seer (boosts divination, scrying, and spirit lore), and Mage (boosts lore).

Yuuki

@SaintWacko I think it's safe to say that you stop by at least 60.

Frank

@ToxicFrog I went Mage.

SaintWacko

@ToxicFrog I went down the Seer path

@Yuuki Yeah, but I'd assume it's a lot earlier than that lol

ToxicFrog

16:05

Yeah, Seer is currently most tempting to me

Yuuki

@Frank I feel like I'm at the end where you'd normally be prestiging. I'm just picking up random skills now because I don't have stuff to unlock.

I think I'm at the final tier of classes at Dhrunic Wizard.

ToxicFrog

I kind of want to focus on getting all my skills (or as many of them as I can) to 10 first though to see if there's any other classes I can unlock.

Frank

It'd be nice if the skill at least told you that, "you think you've reached the limit of breakthroughs you can make", at least.

ToxicFrog

I still haven't even figured out how to raise the dead!

Frank

To signal you won't get any more unlocks, but the bonuses still apply.

ToxicFrog

16:06

In the less than a week I've been playing it it's released ~70 new versions, so hopefully more fluff and a prestige mode are incoming.

(also this is reminding me that I should finish Trimps one of these days)

Yuuki

And also an earlier method of getting shadow-related stuff without being evil.

Having to go fully down anatomy -> dissection -> reanimation line before you can get evil-free bodies is problematic.

Frank

@Yuuki But...is it?

Isn't it an inherently evil activity at lower skill levels?

ToxicFrog

@Yuuki I don't have Reanimation and I can grow bodies in a vat evil-free?

Needs Anatomy and possibly Embalming, I think.

And probably Dissection.

SaintWacko

@Frank Yeah, I'd love this

Frank

I never unlocked Embalming.

SaintWacko

16:10

@Yuuki You don't have to do that

Just needs Embalming

ToxicFrog

Huh. I got impatient and unlocked Seer and it immediately offered me two T3 classes.

High elemental, Lord of the Elements (+2 all elemental magic, bonuses to elemental mana and regeneration) and the Doom-Sayer, Harbinger of Ruin (+ spirit lore, divination, scrying, lore)

Frank

@ToxicFrog Interesting. My T1 was Elementalist, and it didn't give me either of those.

ToxicFrog

I suspect High Elemental requires at least 10 in all four elements and possibly some other stuff.

As far as the Doom-Sayer goes, I have Scrying 5, Divination 13, Spirit Lore 9, Lore 28, and Astronomy 24.

Yuuki

@ToxicFrog You might need some points in herbalism too.

@ToxicFrog I think your astronomy is higher than mine, do you do anything with starcharts?

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Nope :(

Yuuki

16:14

Or are they just something you make and nothing consumes them?

ToxicFrog

Not yet

They give bonuses to max research, max astronomy, and max planar lore, though

Steve-o169

definitely feels like the game isn't really fleshed out at the higher levels

ToxicFrog

Even at lower levels it's very obviously a work in progress

Steve-o169

just unlocked the T5 class and literally nothing happened

just added a few levels to some skills

SaintWacko

Also, I'm currently watching Elon Musk's Starship Update and man, he is not a very good public speaker

SaintWacko

16:26

Also, as it usually does, this is really badly making me want to play KSP

Frank

@SaintWacko Starship? What's that?

SaintWacko

@Frank The next step after the Falcon Heavy

Frank

@SaintWacko So a continuation for SpaceX?

(Sorry, I have no idea what the Falcon Heavy is, so I'm inferring heavily)

Yuuki

@InvaderSkoodge I stopped playing Fire Emblem because Dorothea lost her hat post-timeskip. And that is an unforgivable sin.

SaintWacko

@Frank Wait, really?

Yeah, it's the next thing for SpaceX

Frank

16:29

@SaintWacko Sorry, I haven't really been following that for quite a while.

My grip on news is pretty tenuous, for the most part.

SaintWacko

Yeah, the Starship is designed for interplanetary travel

Yuuki

@SaintWacko You'd think with a name like Falcon Heavy, the next thing would be Eagle Light.

It's a big step, one not to taken lightly. As always, we're all here for you

Also, somewhat related, but if my count is correct, this is the 4th person in this chatroom to come out as trans, right?

In a chatroom of 20 or so?

so you could say 4/20?

Wrigglenite

I count at least 5, sadly

Nzall

19:25

5? does that include you?

Wrigglenite

Yes

But let's not go over the-

Nzall

oh, sorry

Wrigglenite

Just in case, you know?

But suffice to say that "trans" generally covers enby folks as well

Nzall

ah, like that

user15026

In general can we stop keeping a count and mentioning who else is xyz whenever people come out as xyz?

Wrigglenite

19:28

Yes, that is a good idea

user15026

@Wrigglenite in some people's eyes, yes, but personally I do not consider myself trans

Wrigglenite

I apologize, then

Wrigglenite

But yeah

@Wrigglenite you are wonderful too!

If you think it's a good idea to blow up that specific conversation, you have my approval

Ave

@Wrigglenite welcome to the club!

Wrigglenite

@Ave Do I get stickers?

Nzall

@Ash I still find it weird that it's okay to come out, but then it's not okay to discuss that and make observations based on it. Like, does the fact that people are coming out more easily not have an impact on how "taboo", for lack of a better term, the topic is?

Yuuki

Timing's important, I'd say.

Ave

@Wrigglenite yes

Yuuki

19:33

Maybe when someone decides to come out, we shouldn't dive into "how many people are out in this chatroom and who are they again?" right at that moment.

Nzall

Like, it's one of those weird social things where we should be able to talk about it as adults, and discuss it, but then we should also avoid certain aspects of it like demographics?

Wrigglenite

And it's generally nobody's business to disclose that but the people involved themselves

Unionhawk

there's also a difference between like

saying "hey gender is a thing and I've gender"

and commenting about the contents of your mental notebook

Wrigglenite

Also, I imagine that bringing it up all the time can be... discriminating, in a way

(Just as a note, I am super new at all the social norms and everything so I will screw up)

@Ave Those are very cool

Nzall

Yeah, I get all that. It's just weird. When a big-name athlete or movie star gets a major trophy, everyone is all talking about how they're the Nth person of a specific minority to win that trophy. Or when they come out as something, it's fine to talk about what a victory it is for whatever it is they come out as, but then if it's just someone from your group of friends, it's like... meh? Like, am I the only one who thinks that's weird?

It just feels weird that an event of certain scope doesn't lead into more discussion

Wrigglenite

19:38

@Nzall Well...

After my announcement kinda blows over, it'd be nice to be just thought of as "she", not "trans she" or whatever

You know?

Sorry for being harsh but that's a really really bad equivalency

user15026

(I admit, for reasons outside of this room that I do not wish to discuss in this room for love or money or stars, I am hella done with discussing gender, identity, and pronouns other than how each person feels about their own as they apply to them.)

Ave

@Wrigglenite thank you a lot of amazing people made a lot of amazing designs

user15026

20:07

The rest of it, and how other people feel about identities that are not theirs is just...can we please, please not.

Nzall

@Ash Fair enough. I was looking for a positive comparison, and a trophy was the first thing I thought of that I didn't immediately think of as offensive

but yeah, I think a birth might be more suitable in this case, but let's drop it

Frank

At this point, I think I'm just gonna say, this is a good stopping point for this conversation. Everyone is entitled to be referred to the way they want, and that's all that needs to be said.

@Wipqozn I'd say phones are the worst.

But then, everybody knows we have to blame you, anyways. :P

I bought one way back when, called, "What's he building in there?"

Mage Xy

My personal favorite board game is Betrayal at House on the Hill. It's a hidden traitor game where no one knows who the traitor is ahead of time - including the traitor! It's randomized based on which items you find in which rooms.

There are definitely a couple of balance issues in some of the scenarios, but otherwise it's quite entertaining

Yuuki

@Dragonrage @MageXy Would you guys mind if I ever jumped into one of your lobbies for a game?

LoL, that is.

GnomeSlice

I wish I had the friends, space, and funds to really get into tabletop gaming

Big time

Dragonrage

21:10

@Yuuki i dont mind. ill probably be playing tonight after i get off work

Mage Xy

@Yuuki I don't mind, but the friend I usually play with is kinda introverted and might get anxious

But if I'm in a lobby on my own (usually for TFT) feel free

Yuuki

I played a game of TFT the other day and won because Poppy/Shen carried the early game.

I got Lulu and Tristana for the Yordle buff, got some of the new gauntlet items and put the Iceborne Gauntlet on Poppy.

In hindsight, probably should've put it on Shen.

In any case, there were at least two rounds where Poppy had a sliver of health and was tanking three other champions and dodging every single attack while my Tristana killed them one by one.

I also probably should have put the Youmuu's on Tristana because I had Blademasters but she already had three items.

Bloodthirster, Rageblade, and that percent max health BFS item.

Wrigglenite

That reminds me

LoL has a couple of Touhou-themed items, doesn't it?

Yuuki

Kinda-sorta not really.

I mean, Youmuu's Ghostblade does exist but I can't remember if that's specifically a Touhou reference or it was an employee who used a Touhou reference for a handle.

Wrigglenite

That's true

Yuuki

21:19

That's the case for now-defunct item Wriggle's Lantern.

Yes, it's a Touhou reference but it was actually named after one user who got enough referrals to get the "have an item named after me" reward.

Wrigglenite

:(

Dragonrage

TFT is annoying. its fun if you can get a comp you want and can win, but if you never get a very cohesive comp to go with the items you get, it just feels useless

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Or you work towards a comp and then RNG never gives you the rest of the champions you need after you hit mid-way.

Not having a single rank 3 champion is... frustrating.

@Wrigglenite Well, there's some slight compensation in the fact that the baby dragon in Tristana's Dragon Trainer skin is named "Riggle".

Dragonrage

@Yuuki or you barely get a comp together that kind of works, and you go against a person with 6 nobles and 2 level 2 kayles and just doesnt take any damage

Yuuki

Dota Underlords has some stuff that I wish would be in TFT and TFT has some stuff that I wish would be in Underlords.

I do like the concept of a shared champion/item pool in TFT that functions as a comeback mechanic.

I also like the idea of having multiple choices in loot rounds in Underlords as opposed to settling for whatever RNG tosses at you.

Wrigglenite

21:31

Did they change that in Underlords recently?

I thought it still used a shared hero pool

Yuuki

@Wrigglenite When I say "pool" in this instance, I mean the carousel mechanic.

Wrigglenite

Oh, I have no idea what that is so nevermind!

Yuuki

I just don't like the actual carousel because physics bugs.

@Wrigglenite So every now and then, TFT has a carousel round. A bunch of champions with certain items attached rotate on a carousel and pairs of players move their avatar to pick a champion/item combo to get.

Any champion+item you get is removed from the carousel as a choice for subsequent players.

Wrigglenite

Hm

I see, I see

I like TFT, I think now that there's a decent number of items and champions it's at a pretty balanced state.

Because of the latter mechanic, it functions as a comeback mechanic since players lower in the ranking pick from the carousel before the higher ranks.

Which I like.

Mage Xy

3* champs are a noob trap honestly, if you get them that's great but you shouldn't be hunting for them unless the opportunitely arises

Yuuki

But I don't like the actual carousel because of physics/collision bugs involved with moving your avatar to grab stuff.

Dragonrage

the annoying part is if the champion you want is on the opposite side, and the other person can get to it first

Yuuki

Underlords just has a menu pop up that you can choose from. Which is nice and I wish they did that for TFT.

But there isn't a shared loot round so I feel like Underlords has fewer comeback mechanics.

Mage Xy

Honestly the worst part about TFT right now is that there's a crap ton of people grinding for event tokens

and they just afk

I've literally gotten second place with 6 non-synergy units

For now, I think TFT has better hero selection. Underlords feels like there's too many units to build proper synergies and rank them up unless you get lucky.

@Ronan Which one did you get?

Ronan

@GnomeSlice The snes looking one, but with the multi coloured face buttons

GnomeSlice

@Ash We've only played a little. She likes it a lot more than breath of the wild, where I'm the opposite

@Ronan which model i mean

the sn30 pro? with the trigger buttons and rumble/tilt controls?

Ronan

@GnomeSlice I think so

GnomeSlice

nice!

Ronan

I haven't actually played anything with motion controls yet though

GnomeSlice

22:25

Yeah I mean I tried it for mario kart and it was meh but it's nice that it has them?

That one?

Ronan

Looks right

GnomeSlice

I'm pretty happy with it. It's a little difficult to hold it in such a way that you can press both bumper and trigger simultaneously but for most games not really a problem

And like half the price of the switch pro controller

Ronan

It's 2/3 in UK prices, but I really like the look of it

GnomeSlice

@InvaderSkoodge That's awesome! Congratulations!

@Ronan Fair I guess I got mine on a bit of a sale but normally like 59.99 where the pro is 90

So yeah

And it's surprisingly comfortable

@MageXy That's another I have on my wishlist!

It seems like it'd be good for a group that would like all the tactics of a rpg but is a bit skiddish about the role-playing.
