Q: Keeping a long term base in DayZ

OrolinI have acquired a black SUV and been able to keep it for several days now. My current gear include a pile of weapons (DMR, multiple AK's, Bison, MP5SD, pistols etc), plenty of food, a tent and lots of other stuff. I've been keeping everything in my car, and I've found a very good place to park it...

@Krazer LOL. LOLOLOL

Q: Mass Effect (1) PC sound problem

NeverwinterMoonFirst of all, before jumping here to pop a question, I've been all over the Net trying to find a solution to the problem. Apparently, loads of people were having a problem with sound in this game, most if not all managed to solve it by either setting DeviceName=Generic Hardware or leaving Device...

Q: What are the locations and level requirements for each of the dungeons?

pixelSo far I've managed to make it fairly far through the main story with decent map completion without ever entering a dungeon, but while reading through all of the mails I've collected for completing various renowned and personal story quests I have noticed I've been collecting a variety of mails w...

Q: What is this star next to the player name/health bar?

pixelWhile running around the world I spotted a player with a star next to their name as follows; What does this star next to the player name/health bar represent?

Q: What are the different dungeon modes?

pixelThe answer to another question I asked points me towards the Guild Wars 2 Wiki article for dungeons, which has this comment at the bottom: With the implementation of story mode and the subsequent variations available for explorable mode, as well as the different fractal zones, these nine dung...

The ending of Assassin's Creed 3 sucks...

Q: How to use 4 weapons in far cry 3

Anthony fisherHow do you use your 4 weapons in far cry three I own the 4 gun sling but can only use two even though there's 4 equipped ?

@ShyamK How else will there be an Assassin's Creed 4 otherwise?
I'm already surprised the ending of every Harry Potter movie ever (except the last) isn't a white-on-black message. "INSERT DISK"
I can't believe there is talk of a Mass Effect 4
well I can, because EA is involved
but I can't, because how do you increase the ante from "saving the universe" ?
@pixel Remember the "Halo 4: Start Another War" jokes?
@pixel You're talking about an EA franchise here. I'm surprised there isn't talk of Mass Effect 2012 through 2015.
11:21
@badp never played Halo, or paid it any attention
@pixel THE VERY FABRIC OF THIS LOCAL PIECE OF MULTIVERSE IS UNDER THREAT!
WE DESTROYED THE REAPERS! QUICK! COLLECT 10 BUCKETS OF WATER FOR MORE XP
DOZENS OF UNIVERSES (read: the same place, only color shifted) ARE UNDER THREAT!
IF THESE UNIVERSES FALL THE WHOLE HYPER-DIMENSIONAL FABRIC OF META-REALITY AND META-TIME WILL BE UNDER EXTREME THREAT IN THE SEQUEL
IN JUST ABOUT THREE MORE GAMES, ALL UNIVERSES EVER WILL BE ON THE VERGE OF CEASING TO EXIST!!!
@pixel That's a problem of the ending of Mass Effect 3, though. Destroying Nazi Germany didn't stop the real world from being interesting, for example ...
@MartinSojka Destroying Nazi Germany left enough of the universe behind that they weren't reverted back to the relative stone age
Mass Effect 4, following on from pretty much any ending in 3, is how to do cave drawings
11:25
@pixel As I said, it's a problem with the ending of ME3, which destroyed too much. But that's easily fixable - start ME4 with "three millennia later ..."
@badp Meh... I expected more...
@ShyamK (I haven't actually seen the AC3 ending)
@MartinSojka It wouldn't surprise me if ME4 is forced by EA, and that's the reason the two doctors retired from bioware
we need a fan initiative to buy Bioware off EA
@pixel And who will fund them once they become "publicly owned" by the angry Kickstartering mob?
It's easier to (gasp) not buy ME4.
@badp mass effect MMO
11:29
@pixel That'll be a few years and a few dozen billion dollars I guess
going free to play ten weeks after launch
listen I just come up with the ideas
It's up to you minions to make them work
listen I just destroy your ideas
It's up to your pants to make new ideas
@badp DAMN YOU FOR BREAKING ALL OF MY HOPES AND DREAMS
@pixel I assumed EA would make ME4 the moment the third still got bought by the masses of easily manipulated fanboys.
It's my second favourite past time. After mod abuse that is
2
11:31
@MartinSojka I had hopes that they would make an MMO rather than trying to bolt more onto the existing story
pretty much anything they do now will be detrimental
there are hints of ME4 being a prequel, that won't end well
It's not like MMOs are the be-all end-all kind of perpetual money printing games
they will end up retconning the existing universe and breaking it
@badp I prefer MMOs over single player games
There's a continuum in the middle
@pixel FFS, just ignore it.
@MartinSojka :(
how do you ignore something after playing it for more than 500 hours in total
11:34
You're ignoring WoW right now
No, seriously - the worst thing you can do to EA is completely ignoring any new game from the ME franchise.
I've spent less time with some of my former boyfriends
@pixel I spent more than 1000 hours with Morrowind, and again half of that with Oblivion. I'm still ignoring Skyrim until they release a non-Steam version. Easy as that.
@badp not 100%, I'm not playing it, doesn't mean I'm not aware there is currently a patch on the PTR containing a bunch of stuff
@pixel So why are you looking forward to cheating on Guild Wars 2 already?????!!!!?1?!?!?!
11:35
@MartinSojka but Skyrim is a good game, and Steam is a good service, I fail to see why?
@badp WHAT?!
@pixel Personal preference.
incidentally, I got to level 77 before going to bed
the rest of you are too casual
haven't even had the game a week yet!
said the local DOTA 2 expert before getting downvoted into the ground again on meta
@badp difference is, I don't actually believe that :p
whereas he probably views us as little ants scurrying around
I will admit he'd physically be brought to vomit if he saw me trying to play DOTA 2.
11:37
@badp my DOTA2 experience is 4 hours to install, 5 minutes of getting stomped on, getting bored, and uninstalling it
At the most constructive and helpful way possible he'd be, like, "okay, so I see you've got the basics pat down: you need to click and press keyboard buttons in order to play the game. You're a complete and total failure in everything else. Now disinstall this already. Now where is the bathroom?"
@pixel Sounds like my recent PS2 experience (install, log in, get air-dropped in some place in the middle of heavy fighting, die without seeing much of anything a few seconds later), only I didn't uninstall. :)
I never got on with planetside
My planetside 2 experience: load the game, 3 frames per second. Crank down all the settings, 5 frames per second. Uninstall
you just have a bad pc
11:41
It's quite fun, but you really need a team (with voice comm) to do anything of value.
perhaps you should stick to solitaire
I find that regardless of level in Guild Wars 2
@pixel Sometimes it slows down a little bit in the winning animation.
if you get into a rhythm the XP just rolls in
earlier in the game it was taking me over an hour per level
now its taking me ~40 mins
The new XBox Live Windows Super Mega Coins Advertisement edition can be taxing!
@badp obviously you should come and play GW2
so that there is more than 2-3 of us online at once
11:43
@pixel The only real thing GW2 had going for it was the framerate. In the 20s or something
@badp wow
€55 is way too much though.
@badp I think it's better than WoW atm, I will update my preference within a month
@badp Not really, I've spent a lot more than that on WoW
That doesn't make €55 cost any less :)
@badp Think I've spent more than that on Mass Effect 3
11:45
You probably have, the most I've spent in a single videogame purchase is ~€50 for the two pack Portal 2 preorder
wait, that's €62
@badp Portal 2 is barely even comparable to any of the games I've mentioned in terms of length and depth
but that's like two games so it doesn't count!
@pixel It still made a good gift there and then.
that's like comparing minesweeper to world of warcraft
I was questing lastnight

Q: Can I play Mass Effect 2 with 0 Paragon points?

CoomieI'm replaying ME2 as a 100% Renegade femshep and I just cured some plague on Omega so Mordin would follow me. I got some Renegade but I also got Paragon. Is it possible to play through without getting a single Paragon point? My aim is to be 100% Renegade and get 0 Paragon.

and a dragon landed on top of me
(see pic)
Next biggest purchase being the SS3 BFE preorder, €22
and then a bunch of people turned up and went "OOOOO DRAGON"
I have SimCity preordered
that's like £65
I preordered Mass Effect 3
but then I cracked my legit copy to play it before it was released in the UK
and completed it before it was available in the UK
@pixel That's a lot of dead people there on the map. Your doing?
Yeah, I just wanted to convey the fact that I almost never pay more than €10 for a single game
11:48
so didn't get to use any of the day 1 dlc (prothean stuff) until months later when I actually played the game
@MartinSojka you don't kill players in GW2, not unless you're specifically doing PvP or WvW
that's people not moving from the fire
they deserved it for being bad at games
@MartinSojka The icons on the minimap are really NPCs, not players AFAIK
@pixel Meh. I was hoping this would only be newbie protection, not something extending to the whole world.
actually I think they're NPCs back there
Getting downed is just their thing
@badp but no they're players as well
I think players show up
and yeah NPCs have like 5 health or something, they drop dead faster than you can revive them
11:50
@pixel Don't they get the down arrow with dot blue icon?
@badp I don't know, I click everything and don't look at the minimap
I have gathered so much crap
got the achievement for reviving loads of people
keep getting caught by the anti-spam protection in this chat
For the first dozen revivals I was literally mashing the revival button
You can perform this action again in 7 seconds
I mean, I did that and lots of green numbers kept appearing. Clearly I was to keep mashing!
apparently I am spamming
although I got bored of doing 100% completion on each zone as I passed through it
I ended up outlevelling every single zone before moving to the next one
so like the first 3-4 zones I have at 100%, and then there is a clear path carved through the rest as I went from story mission to story mission
11:53
... there is a spam protection here?
If you say enough lines in succession yes
@MartinSojka yes. You haven't been writing monologues I see
It starts throttling you
It's an exponential backoff, so you don't notice until the backoff grows to 5 seconds or something.
and the more you fight against it, the harsher the throttling becomes
11:55
@badp Oh, I do. I just tend to write them by writing blocks of text until the message box signals that it's full. At this point I usually add an ellipsis to the end, and start a new block of text with one as well. Works pretty well and I didn't have any problems with any spam protection here - yet.
Clearly you type way too slow for it to matter.
YOU SLOW TYPER YOU
I hit enter as my brain starts a new line
@pixel If I did that, I'd hit enter in the middle of the previous line, or in some cases in the middle of an even earlier line.
@MartinSojka for the most part, the line breaks are in a reasonably logical place
You germans are wired weird, I'm telling you
It's like Deutschewirellneschtunggweirdnesstad.
11:58
not that I'm logical in the slightest, my mandate is victory through confusion
the new Omega DLC for Mass Effect 3 is average btw
lots more corridor shooting
with conveniently placed chest high walls
@badp Deutschverkabelungsseltsamkeit?
Well I got some letters right I guess
you got all of them right, you missed spaces
I know this, because Google translate told me so.
I am pleased to learn that garble of letters looked German enough to make you pull out Google Translate
@badp don't flatter yourself, it contained 'Deutsch'
12:02
That's like the easiest part about it!
and its not so much 'pull out' as it is 'ctrl+t,transl,enter,ctrl+v,enter'
Spr-a-with-colon-on-it-che Deutsch is like the very basic German you need to know how to switch a menu back to English
Speaking of which, I loved what they did for "German" with the character of Klaus in the beginning of this season of "How I Met Your Mother".Both because it's total gibberish (and a real German would use such only to make fun of the silly US-Americans), and because of the indignant reaction of some German speakers to such "dishonourable" treatment of their language. :D
^ chat equivilent of wall of text
Like, Basikellemenuspracheswitchierenknowledgz
(Okay, I'm done)
12:06
@pixel I will not budge. I'm done with trying to make up German compound words. No amount of tumbleweed rolling will change that.
...not today
@MadScientist That would require googling, aka effort
I'm sure the internet has no shortage of results for "Top 10 ridicolous German words"
BTW, my example is ridiculous even by german standards, it's more legalese than german
@badp Cattle marking and beef labeling supervision duties delegation law
12:09
I did take the effort to click on the link <_<
my favourite weirdly long word is a place name from wales
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
At any rate I like how that is the short title of the relevant law, @MadScientist.
In the last SE podcast everyone was trying to pronounce the german "bearbeiten", and nobody came even close. That stuff from Wales is certainly impossible to pronounce
@pixel The train station sign has a pronunciation guide IIRC
12:12
@MadScientist To be fair, English does tend to clump vowels together. They wouldn't think to give the e and a separate sounds when they're next to each other.
@InvaderSkoodge "aiuola"
Yeah, okay, you could argue that "i" really is a semiconsonant but since when do semiconsonants count really?
I do not know that word. What langauge is it?
Italian.
"flowerbed"
Also in the plural form the shortest word with all five vowels
(again, since when does the 'y' count?)
@badp Well, sonorants in general are an interesting case of sounds; they can be used as both vowels and consonants. Examples would be "Krk" (the name of the Adriatic island) and "sxs" ("seal" in Inuit, the "x" sounds like "h" in English "hotel").
12:18
oh, apparently there is a christmas party tonight
guess I'm not getting level 80 today then
@MartinSojka I dunno, it actually maps to two different sounds. Some writers like Pirandello would've written "ajuola" instead (although this is by no means common or accepted spelling)
if that still makes it a sonorant then fine. yay sonorants
12:33
hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I need to write a question on Biology.SE where that is the answer.
It'll get me all the upvotes.
13:05
@pixel I just got to level 25! What are you doing?
@OrigamiRobot waiting for you to get to level 77, so we're even
so that will be another month then...
;)
Why are you so mean to me?
I'm not being mean to you yet
wait until I cap my second character before you finish your first
I am going to make a mesmer next
13:09
@badp Proteins don't count. First, they are usually abbreviated; second, you can build nearly unlimited chains out of them.
@MartinSojka I guess this one chain can't get any longer, or it would've been.
@OrigamiRobot Are you playing right now?
@OrigamiRobot if this was a plea for tips btw, gather everything and then craft like there is no tomorrow
@pixel Gathering and crafting grants so much experience.
@pixel I have been.
13:11
Most of my friends have hit gained their last few levels from crafting.
@Wipqozn It does?
@OrigamiRobot do it more, don't fear the charge for changing professions
I have all 8 professions at 100+
and 3 of those at 300+
I don't even have one above 100
my leatherworking is like 384 or something
@badp I'd still got shortened to MTTERYQ...
13:12
I am at like 93 for jeweler
@badp Yes. Leveling a crafting prof. from level 1 - 400 will grant 10 levels of experience. Gathering doesn't grant much experience by itself, but if you gather everything it adds up pretty quick.
@badp insane xp ye
@OrigamiRobot Fuck yeah, Jeweler! high five
not so much the 1-100 part
but once you get above 100 your xp bar moves quite quickly
uh. Of all things that can possibly bring XP points
13:13
I have seen before now that during the process of crafting a stack of something that my XP bar has jumped from 75% to ding to 50% of the next level
in the space of seconds
the grindy part of clicking exactly thrice on inanimated objects is the way to get the wickedest XP?
I guess I should actually buy decent equipment so I can play the higher level areas. :/
@badp its moderated by the cost of the materials if you were to buy them
which is why I ran around for ages farming
@badp Faerie Solitaire? Really? Really badp?
@Wipqozn My testicles have failed to degenerate so far.

13:15
I have got as many levels farming materials (and all the associated exploration, tagging of POI/Vistas/waypoints and renowned quests) as I have crafting
but crafting took 1/10th of the time
@badp You click three times? I just press F
I also do the full 'daily quest' every day
@pixel ... and you still won't find any cassiterite anywhere. Where's the fun in being a hunter, gatherer and crafter when you still need to buy stuff from NPCs?

Q: Is there any purpose to the three questions asked when making a new game?

WipqoznAfter deciding a name for your character, you are then asked three questions: this summer I'm going to, as a personal goal I want to, and next year I promise not to. I assume these questions serve a purpose, but the game doesn't give any hint as to what it is, nor does the manual seem to contain ...

(-1 for "PC or a Mac" still)
13:30
@badp Why?
woo
I have breached 12k rep
I'm >25% world completion already too
I want a star next to my name
so I need another ~75%
@OrigamiRobot A personal computer is a personal computer no matter the brand
If you mean "Are you using a Mac or not" then just say that
13:46
It's a pity they must've been busted midway through
the intent might've been to also troll OCD people in the progress, but that'd be giving these guys too much credit
@badp I get the feeling you've never worked in IT.
eye roll
It's a false dichotomy and it should be treated as such
no matter how many advertising millions a certain company spends
@badp It's not that. It's dealing with incompetent customers. You stop having time for things like that and you start saying whatever they are most likely to understand.
So the quote on CFH makes perfect sense. That doesn't mean (s)he doesn't know what PC means.
@james You are awesome-sauce man! That really made my day, thanks.
13:58
Work activated our MSDN Ultimate accounts again! \o/
So fancy.
@badp Blame Apple. They cultivated this differentiation up to a few years ago.
