Q: Why is asking on how or where to find upcoming updates for a game Not Constructive?

So, I asked the question Where to find Diablo 3 path plans because I want to find out how to keep informed on what's going on with Diablo 3 updates. To me, asking this and it being on-topic makes sense, there are lots of games that get regular updates to them that add new features to the game or...

discussion

fbueckert

@Lazers Huh. I didn't actually touch that question, and it still got closed.

user15026

Randomly: bacon marmelade on crackers is AMAZING

James

@AshleyNunn shudder

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn ew, bacon.

user15026

Shush, you people have no idea what you are talking about.

Wipqozn

20:18

Oh, that reminds me. Did you pick up New Super Mario Brothers 2 @AshleyNunn?

user15026

@Wipqozn I sure did

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn It's most enjoyable. I picked it up WEdneday.

sjohnston

Marmalade (Noun): A preserve made from citrus fruit, esp. bitter oranges, prepared like jam.

@AshleyNunn is bacon a fruit now?

I am confused

user15026

@Wipqozn I quite like it, although I wish it actually did something interesting when I reached the various coin levels instead of just being liek YOU HAVE BLAH COINS....duh, there is a counter on screen...

user15026

@sjohnston I am just calling it what the jar calls it!

fbueckert

20:22

@sjohnston Sounds like slightly pureed bacon.

Which is sort of gross, if you ask me.

And I LIKE bacon.

sjohnston

@AshleyNunn I shall mount a grocery investigation after work today. I am intrigued...

James

@AshleyNunn I love bacon

I loath marmalade :D

sjohnston

@AshleyNunn Can you explain in more detail what it's actually like? Is it jam with bacon in, or jam made entirely of bacon? Or something else entirely?

user15026

The ad copy on the jar reads "Made with bacon, balsamic vinegar, sauteed onions and spice, this sweet and sticky, tangy and smoky marmalade is sinfully delicious."

user15026

its basically an onion jam with bits of bacon in

fbueckert

20:24

@AshleyNunn Oh, so it's more bacon salsa than actual marmalade.

sjohnston

sold

user15026

@fbueckert Nope, its definitely a marmalade in texture

user15026

Spreads like a jam.

Rilgon Arcsinh

@AshleyNunn Onion jam? Please pardon me while I expel the last ~week worth of food. Yuck.

user15026

@RilgonArcsinh Its just a savoury jam! you put it on crackers! Like fancy ass canapes or something. :P

fbueckert

20:26

Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of marmalade; I like my jam peel-free, thank you.

user15026

@fbueckert Is it the texture that is the issue?

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Partially. Mostly because I'm a sugar fiend, and including peel reduces my sugar intake.

Rilgon Arcsinh

@AshleyNunn Yes, but onions are the devil's work. Eww.

fbueckert

@RilgonArcsinh Onions are awesome

user15026

@RilgonArcsinh Onions are the best.

sjohnston

20:27

Someone should open a swanky, high-buck restaurant in midtown Manhattan where all the dishes have names like "Fancy-Ass Canapes"

user15026

@sjohnston YES

user15026

I always wanted to open a restaurant called "that place" and have dishes called things like "that stuff" and "those things"

sjohnston

I would probably name it something like "Stick This In Your Cake Hole"

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn That would be a VERY annoying place to work.

user15026

@fbueckert Most likely, but the idea of it is entertaining to me

user15026

20:30

@sjohnston YES

sjohnston

It's fairly obvious to everyone that I should not be a restaraunteur

user15026

I cannot see how it would fail.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Little thing called Customer Service. :P

user15026

@fbueckert That only goes so far when you have customers doing crap like tucking thongs into camp donation boxes (outdoor ones) and throwing creamers at you in fits of rage.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn Part of being a professional is not responding in kind, no matter how much you want to.

user15026

20:33

@fbueckert Yeah, I was chill throughout. Even if I wanted to throw creamers right back at the lady.

fbueckert

I've had clients and employers I've wanted to slap because they're acting like little children. I just get back at them more subtly.

user15026

@fbueckert I like my current job - I work mainly with myself, and with books. Books never do stupid things.

fbueckert

As i've stated, if that is the answer i am fine with it, but just because the information doesn't exist doesn't invalidate the question. That's why i'm ultimately trying to argue for and i guess doing a poor job. if the only authorative source is the company's website then that's a valid answer. it's not what i was hoping for but whatever. — DForck42 5 mins ago

Q: How can I rename my player?

In Left 4 Dead 2, is it possible to rename my player? Addendum: the name in-game as seen in the HUD.

left-4-dead-2

This BlueRaja guy gets on my nerves.

DForck42

@fbueckert it's... not speculation?

pixel

I don't understand why that guy edited my edit

fbueckert

@DForck42 That's the literal reason we don't allow those types of questions.

If the information doesn't exist, it invalidates the question entirely.

DForck42

gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/81601/… specualtion, what if it doesn't exist?

fbueckert

@DForck42 That's something that can be tested.

Tell me how your question can be tested.

DForck42

20:46

@fbueckert by... someone better than me doing a google search or being in the know better than me?

fbueckert

@DForck42 You're asking for information about something that hasn't happened yet.

And rejecting the only source of that information.

pixel

@fbueckert which question?

DForck42

@fbueckert i didn't reject anything, but linking to the main news channel for that game isn't an answer imho

Q: Where to find Diablo 3 patch plans?

Blizzard just recently released patch 1.04 for Diablo 3. With this patch they introduced a new feature: paragon levels. Is there a place that has all of the upcoming patches or features that Blizzard has planned for Diablo 3?

diablo-3

@DForck42 If the authoritative source isn't an answer, you've answered your own question as to why it got closed.

DForck42

i browsed through the front page, and it's more than just upcomign patch information and past fixes

pixel

20:48

I'm not sure that is not constructive, "No" is a valid answer and the real question is "Is there a place that has all of the upcoming patches or features that Blizzard has planned for Diablo 3?" which can be answered by "eu.battle.net"

DForck42

it has galleries and other stuff, and it's in no was concisive

@pixel i'm sure it could be worded better

fbueckert

@pixel In case you haven't noticed, apparently answering "Blizzard's site" isn't an answer.

DForck42

but again, i want to back up and look at the big picture.

pixel

@fbueckert who says "Blizzard's site" isn't a valid answer?

ah ok

fbueckert

@fbueckert i didn't reject anything, but linking to the main news channel for that game isn't an answer imho

pixel

20:50

well tough, it's the only and correct answer

anything other than your comment results in speculation

OrigamiRobot

@pixel And it always is for every game

pixel

and the blog does discuss up coming features

OrigamiRobot

Hence it being Not Constructive

fbueckert

@pixel You and I agree. Again.

pixel

else there wouldn't be easy to find a post about PvP, which is a feature that isn't implemented yet

fbueckert

20:51

Which means it's serious business.

StrixVaria

Feb 14 at 22:59, by StrixVaria

SPECULATION IS BAD

pixel

@OrigamiRobot Stating that being able to google the answer makes the question bad is pretty fatal for the site as a whole... 90%+ of our answers could be answered with google-fu

fbueckert

Anyways, I'm out the door for home.

Be back in a bit!

pixel

ttfn

OrigamiRobot

@pixel That is not what I'm saying

pixel

20:52

what were you saying?

DForck42

ok, so, what you're saying is that there's no way there's a site like this: diablowiki.com/Diablo_III_Patches

that i just happened to find

OrigamiRobot

That the answer to every "Where can I find patch info" is "From the developer's site"

StrixVaria

@DForck42 This is past updates and this is out of date.

pixel

@DForck42 not for future patches no, the only people who know 100% what is going into the next patch is Blizzard, therefore any other answer is speculation and incorrect

StrixVaria

That is not future updates.

DForck42

20:55

someone that gets me: meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/a/5297/10400

pixel

@DForck42 not exactly, he says "Its not that bad but..."

getting you/agreeing would be "You're all wrong, the question is fine..."

Wipqozn

@pixel Actually he doesn't say that at all. He says the question is fine, but that it could be improved.

pixel

@Wipqozn "I think the question is fine. I suppose it could be reworded..." easily paraphrases to "It's not that bad but..."

Rilgon Arcsinh

So TSW's GMs are officially the fastest-responding GMs I've seen in an MMO ever

Wipqozn

@pixel No, no it can't. you're completely changing the meaning behind the sentence.

pixel

21:07

@RilgonArcsinh with the amount of random issues with quests bugging out they should be

@Wipqozn If it were good, it wouldn't need re-wording

Wipqozn

@pixel He didn't say it needed re-wording.

DForck42

@Wipqozn yes

i think i'm the one that said it probably could be reworded better

@fbueckert Whooo!

fbueckert

@StrixVaria Attack speed is the straight up attack speed of the weapon. ie. 1.4 attacks per second.
