I know there was one video I wanted to grab from yogscast which shows off the exploration. Just want to find a nice combat one too.
Also, I love the dynmaic level adjustment the game uses.
No more need to worry about over leveling your character compared to friends you may be playing with, or trying to do everything a zone has to offer and wind up being over leveled for the following zone.
> high level characters are prevented from killing enemies too easily and depriving low level characters of rewards
I have a couple friends who annoy the fuck out of me because they insist on trying to power level you if you're behind them in level, and they do that by doing all the work for you. It's really bloody annoying. They won't be able to do that now.
I bought the German version of Starcraft II in store, but I downloaded and installed the English client.
The update to patch 1.5 changed my language settings back to German.
How can I change my language back to English?
@StrixVaria If you were watching lower level combat that would be the reason. ArenaNet has admitted lower level combat isn't as exciting as the mid and higher level content. That's one thing they're trying to fix before launch.
They're just having trouble making it more like the higher level stuff, but without making it too difficult. Learning curves and what not.
I'm not sure when people consider the combat to "improve", but I think it's by the time you reach the first dungeon at level 30. For some reason I'm thinking it happens around the time you move into the level 15 zones.
@fbueckert I only managed to play the first two levels so far, but it seems like it's pretty much all the good stuff from OMD with a better upgrade system.
Really want to play an MMO that has dungeons which scale difficulty based on group size, and which are soloable
You can go through the dungeons in 2 modes, story mode and explorable mode. Explorable mode is more difficult, and the rewards for it are mostly cosmetic, like fancy skinned stuff, rather than "the only place you can get a chance to loot the best sword ingame is in this dungeon".
@Sterno When I was playing the beta, I was not a fan of areas that required grouping to keep the story going. Never been all enamored of playing with other random people.
@QAdley I've tried getting through it twice. Both times made it to Act 3 and ran out of Steam. Did a pretty thorough job on Act 2, though, which I think is where the bulk of the game is

Oh, joy. I just found out that the last three months I spent on my project might get chucked out the window, due to the clients not understanding what they were signing off on.
@Wipqozn Yeah, not really. I'd prefer to just finish the project and move on, but now they're going, "Yeah....that's not what we were really wanting. At all."
@QAdley Good. The moment you got iron armour (which was usually in the first 10 minutes), they became a joke anyway, a few very specific exceptions excluded (dropping on you while you were working above a lava lake, for example).
I'm running a Minecraft Craftbukkit server using this awesome script. My box has 3GB of RAM, and I have it set up to use 2GB minimum, and 2.5GB max.
I want to use the RAM-disk feature in the script, but I'm wondering how much space is needed for the RAM-disk to be effective? I've heard people g...
I want to play Beast online with 4 others on insane but every time I try to play the difficulty is always set to normal. I have already beat it on normal and want to move on. Is there a way to set my difficulty level when playing online?
Adventure maps aside, what's the point of not allowing people to build on a minecraft server? Use a whitelist if you must, log who did what and have good backups.
@RonanForman So I build a TNT cannon on the edge of that place. With "edge" being defined rather loosely - the biggest cannons have a range measured in thousands of blocks.
I get why people would put up constrained servers - whitelists, block protection on structures, server resets after one side won the nuclear war. It's just when they make changes which turn a nice opponent with interesting interaction into something you can utterly ignore when I start scratching my head.
@fbueckert Wire that one to a piston some 30 blocks below the player which opens a lava flow above some signs, which destroys the array of torches on which a big pile of sand and gravel rests, on which in turn the button pusher stands. Trolling ADD people, minecraft style.
@spugsley LOL Not a very stupid cat if it can figure this out! :D
Scary: When you look at a starred message and laugh and go check out the convo around it to figure out that it happened while You we watching before and you just missed it some how!?
hey everyone - quick question, do you intend on using the wow-mists-of-pandaria tag? or do you like to keep all expansions tagged just world-of-warcraft?

I would like to purchase a NEW, genuine, SONY PS3 controller. I would typically just head over to Amazon.com, click the model & color and then wait for delivery. After looking at the reviews, it seems that more than a few recent orders fulfilled by Amazon.com are actually Knock-Offs. While I ...
I recently switched internet providers (Telenet, in Belgium) and I want to be able to connect my DS Lite to my new router (which they also provided me with).
It's a "CPN / SVG6540E" combined router/modem with wifi and EURODOCSIS 3.0 technology.
When I add a new connection in my DS Lite (through ...
I'm trying to host a Minecraft 1.3 LAN server on my single player world. My brother can find the server, but he always gets stuck at connecting. It then times out. We share the same house and the same IP address.
When he hosts a world, I can't even find it. Also, we share the same user name....
@James I tried to explain why it was closed; perhaps if he could provide more information other than the giant wall of random maybe symptoms, we might be able to help out.
@James There are several reasons why a question might be closed, which you should know better than me. :) Only one of them is, "This question does not belong here" and that's off-topic.
@RonanForman Except that people will rarely include the caveat; especially, new users will just go, "My question was closed? Fine, I don't need their help, anyways!"
Which is why I try to explain to new users how they can get their question re-opened.
@fbueckert This is a super important thing that doesn't get done nearly enough, I think - people tend to assume closed is a permanent state, and I think we could be a lot clearer in our explanations that really, it isn't.
@AshleyNunn Technically, the close description text tells them where to look to get the question re-opened. But new users aren't going to read that at all; they'll just see their question got closed, and go, "Screw this!"

A new expansion seems a good place to step in.
But to play Mists of Pandaria, will I have to buy every game in the WoW universe?
These include: The main game, vanilla, plus every expansion ever made (I think they are now at 5)
What would likely happen if I would be to only buy Mists of Pandari...
@fbueckert I think this discussion has come up before. The guy isnt saying I like console controllers, what kind should I get. He is saying I want this specifically but some trolls are making me doubt that I will get what I ask for..
Your best bet to guarantee getting a genuine Sony controller is to hit up the nearest physical gaming store. Best Buy, EB, Gamestop, or insert name of store I inevitably missed. That allows you to examine and, in some cases, handle the controller before purchasing to ensure you are getting the ...
Slightly nicer than, "Get off your lazy ass and leave the house." :P
I am looking into the different dragons to get a water and lightning combination in an attempt to produce the new Plasma Dragon for my park. What is a good combination of dragons to breed that will result in a quick turn around to try and optimize my chances of obtaining this breed of dragon? (I ...
Q: What happens if I take an arrow to the knee? Desc: In the game you will often hear guards talking as you pass them and one of the things they say from time to time is that they used to be an adventurer like me. They say the reason why they are now just a guard is because they took an arrow to the knee. Should I be worried about this happening? Can heavier armor protect me from this? There are quite a few bandits in the world with bows and arrows and it would really suck if my game can be over just because of where I get hit by them.
I've heard the "arrow in the knee" joke pop up in a few discussions around here and elsewhere, mostly related to Skyrim. I'm aware that this is probably in reference to a generic quote said by many NPCs (mostly guards) in the game.
However, I'm wondering if there's an older reference I might be...
With the coming of August comes the inclusion of a new Gemstone dragon to the world of DragonVale.
This dragon is known as the Peridot dragon.
What dragons do I need to breed to get a Peridot dragon?
@Lazers those questions always seem to attract answers that answer "what are examples of sufficient conditions to breed an X dragon?" instead of "What are the necessary conditions to breed an X dragon?"
@RonanForman Why do you think I have almost 300 helpful flags? :P Unregistered 1-rep user word vomit is my best friend for the badge, even as it hurts my brain.
