9:00 PM
Does no one else see the Magefist magic properties?
 
I wanted to love the Demon Hunter as I loved the archer in 1. But the barbarian was just so much fun.
 
One of 2 of the following: X or X but with a different wording.
 
@RonanForman I think I lost 5-10min at most
I just rendered off the first video and deleted the source files then started it up again.
 
That's was quick then.
 
@StrixVaria I think it has to do with the fact that it's worded differently for a prefix or suffix on the randomly generated stuff and assorted similar weirdness.
WoW had a bunch of similar inconsistencies in spell tooltips that slowly got smoothed out over time.
 
9:02 PM
@James I'll upload the day 4 splash tonight, transparent avi's are huge.
 
I wonder if that image link updates
 
@RonanForman Sounds good man :)
@RonanForman Your efforts on that are appreciated btw :D
 
sweet, it does
have to refresh page though :\
 
@James be sure to try and fill in Origami's health too as me and Blem die soon.
 
@FAE I AM COMING FOR YOU!
 
9:05 PM
@RonanForman Who what now?
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Wow, that didn't take a lot of effort on my part
5
 
Whoops, caps.
 
@RavenDreamer You meant those caps and you know it.
2
 
Oh, I'm sorry. This must be the wrong room. O.o
 
@RonanForman I will try as best as I can.. I did not check that health thing too often though :/
 
9:06 PM
@FAE -_-
 
@RavenDreamer Good, good. This is how one approaches them.

@NickT I actually want to play Wizard, but I felt really weak at low levels. The barbarian just blasted through stuff
 
@IvoFlipse The AOE of the witch doctor (I loved that bat swarm) was pretty fun. But yeah the wizard did seem pretty week at the get go.
 
@James the bat swarm just burned through the mana
 
I was playing the Wizard before I found out that anyone can use pretty much any weapon at lower levels though
 
9:09 PM
those arms are useful to pin them down though
 
@IvoFlipse it seemed to rapidly become more powerful a few levels later
 
So maybe the wizard being weak was just a factor of that.
 
@James he sucks when he's oom though
 
esp. with runes
 
@NickT I played Wizard first, before I actually learned the mechanics a bit better too
 
9:09 PM
wizard/WD in general seemed slow to start but started taking off
 
@NickT Yeah I was able to spam the bats pretty well.
 
but I'll just play Barbarian to get some gear and blues to destroy
then pass on some good stuff to the wizard and craft better gear for him
 
@NickT When the WD got the pets he was pretty set.. But the Barbarian was still just more fun than I thought it would be :D
 
@IvoFlipse Set your sights higher. It's all oranges. ALL ORANGES.
 
@Mana I mean just to get through the first levels
 
9:10 PM
@IvoFlipse DOESN'T MATTER
 
Besides, I'll go for all purples first :P
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer <3
 
Do oranges even drop on Normal?
 
there's a purple?
 
@Mana I assumed they used the same colors as WoW
 
9:11 PM
So... Super MNC = fun when it doesn't crash every 5 minutes.
@FAE Validating my cache on Steam, so it'll be a minute before I can reply.
 
@IvoFlipse doesn't everyone use the same colors as WoW now?
SWTOR kinda did, except for purple and that other purple
 
well that does make it easy to understand :P
 
Cannot tell if GW2 is bad because of stress test, or because I'm trying to download diablo 3 while playing GW2
 
Guess I do have to aim for legendary :P
 
@IvoFlipse source?
 
9:14 PM
guys
 
I just bought Diablo 3
 
@IvoFlipse They didn't.
 
@spugsley good job
 
They used the same colors as Diablo 2
 
9:15 PM
So, every time I verify the integrity of my game cache for Super MNC, it says 1 file has failed to validate and has to be downloaded. Every time. Any ideas?
 
and it wants me to "activate my game on battle.net" and it wants me game key
 
Oak
Yay it's past 00:01!
 
where the fuck is it?
 
Oak
but in the wrong time zone :(
@spugsley if you already bought the game, you don't need to do anything
@Fluttershy do it again and again
 
@RavenDreamer weren't the orange items in DII the kinda meh/high lvl crafted stuff though?
 
Oak
9:16 PM
@Fluttershy it should eventually sort itself out
 
not as good as Uniques
 
but if legendary items have the drop rate of that stuff in WoW end game raids, I think I'll settle for rare :P
 
@FAE Nope. Just crashed. GW2 says no, lol
 
@Oak oh...ok
 
@RavenDreamer legendaries (orange) = new uniques (gold)?
 
9:16 PM
@NickT the crafted stuff in the beta was pretty good compared to the drops, just too bad the levels scaled up too fast for the beta
@NickT yeah
 
@NickT Yeah. gold-> orange is the only change
 
@Oak And if it hasn't sorted itself out by like the 8th try? O.o Just keep going?
 
Oak
@spugsley your panic is forgiven given the circumstances :)
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer And now you're standing me up, I see how it is.
 
Oak
@Fluttershy Yep :) but I say you might want to do a disk check
 
9:17 PM
@Oak what time zone counts?
 
@Oak lol yes, it's pretty much life or death
 
@Oak How do I do this?
 
@IvoFlipse PDT
 
Oak
@IvoFlipse CEST. There's another hour
 
@Fluttershy Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming!
 
Oak
9:17 PM
@Fluttershy On Windows? Right click drive -> tools -> disk check
 
well I'll just go to bed and when I get back I might be able to play
 
@Oak wait whaaat
 
Oak
@IanPugsley every region has its own release time
 
@Oak luckkyyyy
 
Oak
The game has been released for a few hours now
I really like how the legendaries have random attributes
 
9:19 PM
@Oak where do you live?
 
Oak
@agent86 Israel
@agent86 one hour ahread of CEST at the moment
 
@Oak for some reason I thought you were in the UK, dunno where I got that impression
 
Oak
@agent86 I did an internship there for 3 months the last winter
Back home now, though
Re-united with my gaming PC =D I was stuck on a mac
 
@Oak ah, gotcha. maybe I got stuck in your internship
several of the companies I've worked for have Israeli presences, although I've never been and rarely worked closely with them.
 
Oak
9:21 PM
@agent86 what field?
 
@Oak mmm, mostly video processing of one flavor or another.
 
Oak
@agent86 I know image processing is pretty strong here
 
@Oak yeah, this wouldn't surprise me.
 
Oak
@agent86 and a lot of hardware stuff here as well. Fortunately there's still room for software developers :)
 
less interesting graph:
 
Oak
9:25 PM
Man, I can't believe only 3 people from the EU region appear on that spreadsheet
@NickT ok... that might explain it
But why? whyyyyyyyyyyy
 
@Oak Isn't it fairly close to the time they should not be on here and playing D3 instead? :)
 
@Oak probably just caught them at the wrong time of day :P
 
Oak
It's evening here... I imagine more people check the site at the evening
To be honest I'm more of a single-player type (well, at least as long as @Aubergine isn't playing)
But can be cool playing with fellow users on this site
 
who's the owner of that spreadsheet anyway
 
Oak
People you can trust to be less of a jerk
@NickT Isn't it @LessPopMoreFizz?
 
9:27 PM
Keith?
shrug
 
@Oak they'd be 4 if I could be bothered to take $60 and spend it all in one place
 
Oak
@badp it's 60$ for you? Lucky. Was 60 euros here
 
$60, €60, whatever
still one order of magnitude more than I'm willing to pay for most games
 
Oak
Yea it's quite a bit for a game... I'm bummed that I didn't win the gaming grant
 
(60 Euros) - (60 U.S. dollars) = 17.07600 U.S. dollars
 
9:29 PM
@Oak aren't we all, aren't we all.

Q: ArmA II: Why is coop more popular than team-based multiplayer?

gravyfaceI've noticed that the vast majority of servers are coop rather than team-based multiplayer. This seems to be skewed in comparison to most other first-person shooter online games, which would have the majority of the servers running a team-based multiplayer configuration (Assault, Capture the Fla...

 
Oak
And still, I've been waiting a long time for this, and I'm fond of the genre
Enjoyed D1, D2, Titan Quest, Torchlight...

Q: Does having extra horses in your inventory speed up your party?

SvishJust what the title says. Does having unused extra horses in your inventory make your party travel faster?

0
Q: Does leader skills of companions help anything?

SvishOr does it only make sense to add skill points to those skills on my own dude?

 
Oak
But not Sacred. That was crap
 
@Oak yeah, I tried some sacred. no. thanks.
 
9:31 PM
@Lazers Dupe
 
@FAE Sorry. Broke my internet.
 
WITHOUT TIME TO TALK BUT I NEED TO SAY IT:

You can see the cinematics of D3 if you get a conversor the cinematics are already availible and I know who is Diablo now. and what was that thing that fall under the cathedrall
 
Diablo is ARYA STARK
2
AND IS BLIND
2
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Excuses, excuses...
 
9:36 PM
@FAE Given the timbre of our conversations up until this point...
When we meet I fully expect to be beaten within an inch of my life, given a peck on the cheek as I lie, nearly dead, on the ground, and then left behind as you walk away from an explosion and not look back at it.
 
Jin
6hr23m
 
FAE
@RavenDreamer Aw, I'm so flattered. <3
 
@LessPopMoreFizz you can select multiple columns to do that....
 
I think my wireless dongle is broken.
Fffff~
@Jin 9hr, 23m
 
Dongle is an awesome word

Q: How to play HTML5 or Flash games offilne in Ubuntu?

Dominic Jordan HasfordI have noticed that there are some very rich HTLM5 games now, simply looking in the Chrome store you can see many. And there are a handful of great flash games. Is it possible to download HTML5 or flash games and play them offline in Ubuntu? For example, I setup an Angry Birds launcher in Unit...

 
Oak
23m.
 
@NickT Yeah, I was having... issues for some reason.
 
Jin
@RavenDreamer what??
i thought it's midnight tonight
oh PST?
 
@Jin Midnight PST, yeah.
Stupid west-coast game developers.
 
Jin
faaakkkk
that totally ruins my plan
oh well, i guess i can play ME3 until then..
 
9:40 PM
21min!
 
Jin
^ sneak peek of something
 
@Jin All I want to know, is how awesome are the prizes?
 
Jin
@LessPop_MoreFizz what prizes? no idea what you're talking about
 
@Jin The ones for the winners of the three legged race at the county fair.
Obviously.
 
@Ullallulloo wait wat
 
9:43 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I hear you can win Wirt's leg.
 
Jin
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh that, wieners will get chocolate covered bacon on a stick
 
Anyone know of a good way to test if my wireless dongle is well and truly dead?
 
Jin
^ the horror
 
while I'd love to be excited by something else than Diablo 3 for the whole hipster and wolf-staring-at-vine factors, @Ullallulloo, I really don't think it's going to happen today
 
Oak
@RavenDreamer safe mode with networking only?
 
9:45 PM
remember all the whole meet the medic craze?
 
@RavenDreamer Throw it in a lake. If it floats, it's a witch. Burn it. If it sinks, it was probably okay.
 
@badp No, I started in September.
 
Oak
I love the item graphics in D3
 
@Ullallulloo well it pretty much dragged on for a month
so perhaps they may start the dragging on today
but releasing it? not so much
 
Muwahahaha
My D3 strat book showed up today :D
 
Jin
9:48 PM
oh yeah, my battletag: RamenSage#1196
it's also in the google doc
 
@badp still interesting
 
Oak
@Jin you're ruining the listing-by-region sorting
 
my diablo 3 had default server region selection set to The Americas
 
Jin
@Oak it's the Ummmerican way
 
Everyone steal @Jin's loots!
 
Oak
9:50 PM
Man lousy Europeans. 700m people and yet the Americas dominate in that spreadsheet :(
 
Jin
@Oak it's our can-do spirit
 
Oak
Even when you get the support of the entire Middle-East and Africa!
 
Error 33!
 
Oak
@Blem 10 more minutes!
 
i should go to bed, got work in the morning
 
9:52 PM
@Jin Hey, the game's $80 here :P
 
Oak
Hey someone deleted me from that doc
 
@Oak Yer at the bottom on my screen of it
 
wat
 
Oak
@James had to refresh
 
@Oak Ah :)
I am resisting the temptation to give up working and reading through the D3 book
 
Oak
9:58 PM
Monk or DH... Monk or DH...
Help!
3 minutes to decide!
 
Jin
^ current status
 
Oak
Oh so that's what he uses
 
FAE
@Jin long haaair <3
 
@Jin Is this a person?
