@QAdley I love the title: Gamer fails STAM roll, dies after 40-hour Diablo III stretch
@Wipqozn The Register always has good titles.
16:15
Incidentally, this MMOGA site seems to have targeted us for spam efforts. They try regularly, and they've gotten more and more sophisticated to the point of attempting actual contributions.
Good catch @LessPop_MoreFizz, down voted
@pixel don't downvote. Flag.
If it gets enough flags, it'll be deleted immediately.
just "as spam"?
@pixel Yup.
16:17
it's not obvious spam so may need clarification
Spam flags can get handled automatically without a mod if enough people flag it.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Relevant
You think they'd put their name as a link to get people to actually follow it.
That is dangerously close to being a valid post
@RonanForman The idea is for no one to realize it's spam, so it's not deleted.
In other news, time to swoosh.

Although that 'answer' isn't really saying much anyway, "damage over time attacks can't crit because they deal the same damage over time."
I didn't say it was a correct post, you don't have to be correct for it to appear like a legitimate post
My point was it only looks legit until you actually parse the information.
@FAE That's a decent reason to just play on Normal, too. Most of the fun will be the puzzles, not the combat
@RonanForman hence, dangerously close :)
TSW has finally made it to the top of my start menu
oh, a TSW patch
@badp Thanks, but, I don't think I will pickup 2 until it is also 75% off! And I doubt it will have 1 in it then!
16:36
@LessPop_MoreFizz Dare I ask what that post was?
@fbueckert It was an innocuous seeming not really complete answer that mentioned having just bought the game from a website that is basically a shady RMT shop.
@fbueckert personal vendetta against a poor new user who just wanted to help :-(
Whoever linked 'A wizard did it' just cost me 30 minutes of my life
@pixel Eh?
@pixel TVTropes?
@fbueckert a joke, it was a gold spammer
yes tvtropes
16:42
@pixel Only thirty minutes? You got off easy.
I ended up on Godwin's Law of Time Travel and then TSW finished patching
I was saved by the secret world

Q: Can the Orochick be acquired? If so, how?

Matthew ReadI have the Orokeet (Unusual Egg) and Orosquab (Mysterious Egg) pets, and I've been looking for information on how to get the Orochick (Wonderous Egg). Unfortunately, everything I've found seems unreliable. I've seen claims that: It's not available in-game It's in-game but no one has found it ...

TSW AH is apparently arriving on the 31st
@pixel Real money or just in game currency?
just an auction house

6-5 I hate you
I hate every bit of you
I hate the key
@pixel OMGZ BOYCATT ARNVEKJRVNKAER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ELEVEN
I hate the hail mary jumping
I hate that fucking hole in the ceiling
I hate having to depress Space
I hate it when I do and you don't register it
I hate that fucking wheel in the bottom right crushing your hope humiliatingly
I hate that I must finish you and just you to go do 6-BOSS
I hate that I've been stuck on you for months
I hate the way you make me sweat
I hate that bit by the second pair of vertically aligned gears
I hate that the first wasn't apparently enough
I hate CAPTCHA so much
@Sterno Me too!
I hate that you're 6-5 and not 7-1

Q: What is an Enrage timer?

SighI've seen it mentioned that some of the Diablo 3 bosses have an enrage timer? What exactly does that mean? Are there any bonuses for killing one that is enraged?

that seems counter to the intent of the bounty on that question
SECOND KEY GRAB!
getting fucking closer.
ugh, it's a dupe then
which can't be closed due to bounty, how tangled!
Bleh. Another one of my stupidly long, rambling answers. Yay for work time!
@OrigamiRobot The title is certainly terminology. But there are two questions there (ignore the first question mark), and only the first one is generic. The answers are also not entirely generic.
I added the bounty because the answers that were there seemed too generic to be useful.
17:06
Fine, Steam. I'll buy Thief 2 for a 3rd time
@bwarner The answer is generic, but mentions D3 specifics as a sidenote. There is already a diablo specific question about enrage. We don't need two.
I second Origami's suggestion and propose question be editted to match the answers.
The second part of the question is covered by the diablo specific one, but it was asked first.
the other meaning is already represented by linked question... to preserve it here would be duplication
Ah crap, PvP is going to be a waste of time today
...except now we just got a very D3 specific answer...
@OrigamiRobot Yah, I obviously didn't realize we had a different question that listed out the actual enrage effects.
okay, I have the key. Now I'll just pause the game, watch how this section is supposed to be done on Youtube and do it myself. It's going to be easy. Right? RIGHT?
@bwarner Right, this is kind of a weird situation...
there's no concept of "duplicate bounty" :)
17:11
And it seemed to me a lot more useful to have the actual effects than just a definition of the term.
fuck you really do have to airstrafe like that. fuck fuck fuck.
OKAY NOW WHAT.
@badp you crack me up
OH MY GOD THERE'S MORE?!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
@OrigamiRobot it is a Diablo 3 specific question asking for information on what the enrage timers do
@pixel It is now
17:13
@OrigamiRobot It always was, if you read the question
@pixel Originally, Diablo 3 was coincidental to the actual question. If you removed it, it would still be the same question.
@OrigamiRobot regardless, it is a duplicate of gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/70637/…
So, it's a bounty asking for stuff covered by a duplicate? Fun!
@pixel But that one was asked later.
and I'm surprised that with the trigger happy close people around here that it is still open
17:14
My interpretation is that he really wanted to know what it meant in Diablo 3. The fact that the term is also used in other games is likely not that relevant to him. But I'm purely guessing.
"What exactly does that mean?" does that refer to the words "enrage timer", or does it refer to the fact that bosses have them?
@pixel Because at the time, it wasn't a dupe.
@pixel Bountied questions can't be closed
@Sterno bounty only just got added
@bwarner my linked question is specific to diablo 3
@bwarner That could be said about most terminology questions.
17:15
including all of the information that only just got put onto the other question
@pixel Now that I'm looking at it, this one was actually asked before the other one

Q: Were the Korrealis Prince and Korrealis Sovereign speeders Bind on Pickup or Bind on Equip?

Matthew ReadWere the Korrealis Prince and Sovereign speeders BoP or BoE?

I've managed to get one of the two non-faction-specific Korrealis speeders, and have seen the other one l...

Q: What's the most viable way to build nidalee for top lane?

KillerholmseyI want to play Nidalee top lane but I am never sure which guide to follow seeing as she is viable AP, AD, and even hybrid. Is there a best choice for top lane in terms of surviving ganks, farming, and being a powerhouse late game or is it ultimately up to personal preference/situational?

Q: Bipod does not work at all anymore

JannesIn BF3 I remember using bipods early on, but since about december/januari they simply don't work at all anymore. The animation is not there and neither is the effect (I'm spraying all over the place with the machine guns). I tried switching on and off the bipods on all kinds of guns. None work. ...

Q: Is there any Revolver / Sniper Build for Borderland's Siren?

Marcello Grechi LinsI am currently playing a Siren in borderlands, and i was wondering, if there is any "drawback" of playing it as a Sniper / Revolver character ? I am a fan of Sniper rifles and Revolvers, but i already have one in my "party" (co-op). After looking for a while, i could not find anything that make...

@Sterno shrug, the one I linked was answered first
@pixel Yep, had I known of that question, I wouldn't have added the bounty. But once added, there is no way to cancel it.
This is exactly why I suggested the tag change. I didnt even notice the bounty at that time.
17:17
@pixel Well, it was answered with Diablo 3 specific info first
@bwarner well now I am going to copypasta my awesome answer onto that question
these events are two months old. askers must be satisfied by now. (In my opinion) the end result for the site, there should be : one list question of d3bosses with enrage timers and their effects, one terminology question about enrage timers.
The original question was definitely not generic though. You don't ask generically if you get bonuses for killing enraged D3 bosses :P
@bwarner well now I am going to copypasta my awesome answer onto that question
@Sterno exactly
go get that bounty pixel, lol
17:19
@DavidB damn straight
@Sterno You do if you dont know what enrage means.
@OrigamiRobot You're saying there could never be a game that handles "enrage" differently?
Well, sorry for causing so much chaos, but its time for me to go back to work.
I mean, I know generically speaking what an enrage timer is, but I still might have questions about how it works in D3. That seemed to be what this guy was asking.
@Sterno Pretend you dont know what enrage means. It isnt out of the question to think maybe it means you get a bonus for killing a boss who is enraged.
17:21
Just because we can make his question more generic doesn't mean we should.
@OrigamiRobot I completely agree. Even if I know what it means, it isn't out of the question, though.
@OrigamiRobot I'm sure a 'what is an enrage timer' question would be nice to have, however, this question is not it.
Also I'm sure there is a post on meta about how you're doing it wrong if you're thinking of changing somebody elses question to fit your idea of a good answer
well, if we don't change the question, it's a dupe, as you have highlighted by your copypaste threat @pixel
All I know is there was already a question that covered D3 enrage. We dont need two. The tag change was a way for both questions to coexist peacefully.
It wasn't a threat, I've already done it
@OrigamiRobot you can't make a question generic once somebody adds a bounty on it specifically asking for D3 info

Q: Which bosses have an enrage timer and what are their effects?

KappeiWe already know that the Butcher sets the whole room on fire if you fail to kill him in 3 minutes. Are just the end-of-act bosses that possess an enrage timer? What are their effects? Is the timing the same for every one of them? Does the timer depend on the group size?

Look who was posting comments on this an hour ago
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, without the bounty it would have probably been a good way to handle the fact that we missed the dupe when it occurred
and the dupe got better answers re: d3
the bounty is a problem that expires at some point, after that - isn't there some way to merge the questions?
@Sterno I am just going to ignore this problem and hope it gets resolved in whatever way makes people happy.
All I know is, now that we have an unclosed dupe on the site, this place is ruined forever.

All I know is, the above comment definitely wants to be starred for satirical humour
17:26
@fbueckert will be devestated
Illuminati currently own the whole of Fusang
@pixel All I know is I like starring things that talk about starring things.

@OrigamiRobot understood
@DavidB Noooooooooo! Exact dupes are bad! Bad bad bad!
/hyperbole
@pixel This is pretty normal.
17:28
Specifically, I love starring messages like "Don't star that" instead of starring the message they requested not be starred.

A: Vote for a logo design!

Ronan Forman A slice of pie with a raspberry next to it, the location is negotiable.

@Jin That is what I'm talking about yes.
Jin
Jin
@RonanForman to be honest, I have no clue :)
I know 0 about Raspberry Pi.
if I were a pedantic person I would have issue with this statement: "pi is 3.14 for those non-maths-y people"
17:38
@Jin I dont even want to know the train of thought that brought you here.
@pixel that's close enough for most purposes
@murgatroid99 but so fundamentally incorrect for 'math-y people'
@pixel It depends on what level of accuracy you need.
the statement doesn't mention accuracy or rounding, thus is mathematically incorrect
@pixel For the purposes of that post, the relevant fact is that pi is commonly known as 3.14
17:43
@OrigamiRobot I think you only need 3.14 for anything non-quantum anyway.
"if I were a pedantic person"
so easy to find resistance around here
I am just being pedantic right back :P
Perhaps in his numbering system, pi represents exactly 3.14
@OrigamiRobot I wrote that.
And I stand by the quantum thing.
@Fluttershy I'm leery about clicking that.
17:45
@fbueckert I've checked it three times now. It is indeed what I intended to link, and it is SFW.
@RonanForman I need freehand circles on this one.
@Fluttershy and I've actually seen that before. And that's not one of the really weird things
@fbueckert I just checked. It's SFW
@Fluttershy Oh, good.
@OrigamiRobot He uploaded them because you need 125 rep to post more than once every two minutes.
@Fluttershy my little dinosaur?
17:46
@murgatroid99 I've seen weirder. That's just a new one to me. lol
@pixel Id watch it.
land before time is basically my little dinosaur in fairness...
@pixel If land before time was actually anything like FiM, I would watch all of it this week
@RonanForman What I'm saying is I don't believe you and the burden of proof is on you.
Jin
Jin
@RonanForman re: logo, feel free to do whatever now really.
@murgatroid99 has similarities but shows its age, earlier movies are better
17:50
@Jin Okay, I'm using that quote in court though.
@pixel I think I've actually watched one or two of them, but I don't remember them very well. Do you really think they are like the new MLP series?
@RonanForman That isn't what I said at all.
@murgatroid99 if you like MLP for the content in the shows and the character depth doesn't really matter so much then probably not
@OrigamiRobot I've shown you proof, the burden is lifted.
17:53
the similarities is in some of the character quirks
@RonanForman You showed proof of something, but not that you said what I said.
@OrigamiRobot now you're just being pedantic
@pixel When have I ever not been?
I don't know, would imply paying attention. How dare you give yourself that much credit. :P
Jin
Jin
@RonanForman I suggest make the logo simple though. preferably one that can fit into a square or circular boundary easily. because it does become official, we'll need it for favicon, mod cards etc
17:56
@Jin I was actually designing them for community ads, but they've decided they want it for the whole site.

@RonanForman how about this: for logo, make it a pie(round), and with a cut on it, shaped "Ï€"
↑ this fucker right here
wow, 6-5X is ten times worse in the middle
18:00
@badp I remember that one
Of course you do, it's the single worst level in the light world.
by at least two times and a half
It's the second last thing I want to do in the game
because I sure don't feel like doing the dark world. I don't even have enough A+'s in the light world to unlock the 6-X boss
What do you all think of this?
@RedRiderX it looks like the layout for a webpage, is what I think of it
@pixel Good thought.
@RedRiderX I like it
18:05
I should mention that this is the current mockup for the our community content site.
Jin
Jin
@RonanForman ^ super ghetto quick mockup
@RedRiderX the scanlines could be a bit thinner. Otherwise is looks good
@Jin Why don't we just use that?
Jin
Jin
@RonanForman it's just a quick concept i put together, using stock art. i don't even know if it's a good one
so don't let me what show you influence you :)
@QAzer Oh darn, I do see they are not uniform. Oops. :I

you can present that concept to the community. if they like it, i'll make a real one
@Jin Will do.

@Fluttershy That's a fun site.
@Jin, the mockup I posted is still a concept, but I have used footer and header graphics from the main site. Is that alright, or should I come up with something else to use?
@FAE I dunno what site it is from originally. <_<

@RedRiderX what concept?

@Fluttershy I've gone through some of the archives there, a friend linked it to me last month, it's neat. The guy posts something every day.

@Jin A community content site.
@Jin Game On schedule, YouTube videos from our channel. Stuff like that.

@RedRiderX I think it's fine. I have no objection. then again i'm not a lawyer :)
so i say use it until you hear otherwise
really, any type of pixel art would fit the Arqade theme just fine.
if you want to explore that route
@Jin Ok, thanks.

pixel art is pretty versatile
@Jin Very true.

For the D3 players here: Do any of you know a good resource where I can check market prices for items? The bnet forums don't work, unless you're OCD about bumping. I tried diablo3values.com, but it seems pretty wonky.
i had this idea for the raspberry pi logo
@QAzer Post it in the meta then.
@QAzer Nice, and fairly similar in style to the original.
But some might read it as "raspberry table"
@RedRiderX Not if you make the pi more curly.
Personally, that raspberry looks far too large; it dominates the entire picture.
18:27
@RonanForman True.
Although there already is a similar design there.

@QAdley symbol for pi, little squashed though
I hope this is more acceptable
@QAzer certainly more obvious
you got my vote @QAzer
more pi-like, less pie-like
I was thinking of buying one
18:47
@fbueckert Sadly I think the good option (for high demand stuff) is just to post in the profession forums; where many will get upset because its off-topic but it stays there longer and has a chance to get useful feedback
Trade forums as you point out just move too fast :(
Also, I know some people use d2jsp but I don't have much idea about it - if you do check it out, let us know if its good :)
@Alok I'm not going to work around the rules just to get what I want. I'd prefer an actual solution (webpage, most likely) that can at least give me an idea what it's worth.
@Blem They're cool, do
@Alok Checked it out a little yesterday, but you need to register to do almost anything.

18:53
@Alok When the potential for real money gets involved, there's a lot of speculation. I also heard that gold sellers use the AH to transfer gold to a buyer; basically the buyer put an item up for a large amount and then gold seller buys it.
@QAzer And that's to bypass Blizzard's detection algorithms looking for large amounts of gold transfer.
New job for Blizzard: Buy 1 million gold from everyone advertising and ban them.
Trade forums get spammed hard with non-legit gold sellers. I don't see how they can do that.
Man, gamepad controls for Super Meat Boy on the PC do not work very well.
the AH feels like another game in itself... a boring and irregular one
@QAzer Hence why I'm looking for tools to determine pricing; the AH and Bnet forums are no help.
18:59
@GnomeSlicE difficulty aside, I found the pad better than the keyboard controls
@Blem Honestly, I'd probably play that; I love Tycoon games.
@QAzer No, the controls themselves are fine. They don't work very well. There's a bit of a delay between pressing jump and actually jumping, it doesn't always recognize it before you reach the edge of something.
