16:13.01Amarandehrm, things I've learned from SW:TOR
16:13.05Amarandethere is a fine set of Michael Jackson lyrics that apply to me and PvP
16:13.23g0urralet me guess, is it from the song "I'm Bad"?
16:15.24Amarandeg0urra: heh, you got it
16:15.39b4k4^^:3
16:16.10Amarandeprobably why I tend to get pissed off when mmo companies make pvp fixes/balances that negatively impact pve :P
16:16.29g0urraa friend at work says he loves SW:TOR.. probably because he uses the cartel market for pay2win
16:16.44Amarandeg0urra: actually, you really can't use the cartel market for pay to win
16:16.59Amarandeexcept maybe in classic space battles, and those are solo matters anyway :P
16:17.14b4k4^^han solo
16:17.22JunkHeadhand solo
16:17.30b4k4^^*fap*
16:17.32Amarandeyou can pay for a leg up when leveling, basically, you can pay to get some subscriber benefits as a non-sub, but you can't really "pay to win"
16:17.57JunkHeadI'm enjoying wow again for right now.
16:18.05Amarandeprobably the most powerful items you can get from the CM are lightsaber crystals, and even those are just the same as the top lightsaber crystals you can get normally
16:18.06JunkHeadhaving fun leveling a new character by myself.
16:18.36Amarande(and standard non-cartel +41 stat crystals usually go as low as 50k, so it's not like it's hard to get the stat benefit)
16:19.11Amarandethe only real advantages to cartel crystals are you can get infinite copies via the collections and you can start using a +41 crystal at 10, but that benefit levels out at 50
16:19.28b4k4^^can you piss people off by calling them gems? :3
16:19.42Amarandeb4k4^^: you might, given that Gemstones are a different item type :P
16:19.49Amarande(gemstones are a type of mats for artificers, specifically)
16:19.51b4k4^^oh, damn
16:24.17AmarandeGemstones are blue-tier mats used to make blue-tier lightsaber hilts and Enhancements
16:25.48Amarandeor rather, they're *called* "lightsaber hilts" but they're really used in all the force-user melee weapons, including vibroswords and electrostaves
16:26.58AmarandeEnhancements are a specific sort of item mod (you've got five types of item mods in SW:TOR: the Colour Crystal, the slot-specific kind ("Armoring" "Hilt" or "Barrel"), the "Mod", the "Enhancement", and the "Augment")
16:29.11b4k4^^I guess it makes sense once you play it
16:29.43AmarandeYeah. I still remember when I first played I thought "Mods" were universal mods for items (they're not quite, they go in basically anything moddable, but only in a "mod" slot)
16:29.44b4k4^^(yeah, like I knew anything about WoW either 4 years ago)
16:44.47*** join/#wowhead Killerwolfie (~killerwol@c-24-7-236-33.hsd1.in.comcast.net)
16:55.53Amarandedammit, Qyzen ... I need Eralam crystals, not Nextor
16:56.01Amarandethe one problem with gathering missions in SW:TOR, heh
16:58.08g0urraone of the reasons I don't like SWTOR gathering missions
16:58.13g0urratoo random
16:58.58Amarandeand how the leveling epics are usually mostly inaccessible because it takes far too long to luck into epic mats
16:59.30Amarandeblues, yeah. in fact, it's almost standard to level via blues in SW:TOR these days, unlike WoW where green is more of a norm (except for heirloom users)
16:59.51Amarandebut epics, it's easy to learn to craft them, a pain in the ass to get the mats you actually need to craft them while they're still useful (unless you're making stuff to twink an alt with)
17:01.12Amarandeexcept of course top end epics, which it's fairly easy to get mats for but a pain in the ass to learn to craft them
17:06.13AmarandeI'm starting to run out of stuff to do in SW:TOR though. :S
17:06.36Amarandeunless I want to be a dedicated raider, anyway, and as usual ... dammit, why is it that no matter what MMO I play, I tend to end up in guilds with, usually, three attributes
17:07.00Amarandea) are wonderfully friendly, b) (usually) have loads and loads of members, but c) can basically never get a raid group together to save their lives :|
17:08.47Amarandeand on top of that, my SW:TOR guild is actually an arm of one of the larger SW fan clubs in general, and yet we STILL don't normally have enough people on at the same time to do ops :S
17:13.28b4k4^^:P

20:27.49g0urrahey
21:36.26Eraclitohttps://twitter.com/Rygarius/status/459806573549060096 Rygarius should start editing stuff on some kind of notepad
22:10.03fewynhttps://twitter.com/Warcraft/status/459815542816522240
22:10.05fewynnew RAF mount
22:14.21Eraclitothat's pretty cool
22:14.47Eraclitoi recruited four friends
22:14.55Eraclitofirst was before mount rewards
22:15.16Eraclitosecond was a noob and didn't clic on the right link and wasn't linked to me, customer service didn't help
22:15.44Eraclitothird was the rocket and fourth the flying panther... i'd prefer the new pets
22:18.45AmarandeThey should just put the raf mounts up on the store :P
22:19.04Amarandemaybe at ... hmm ... 50, 60 bucks a pop as "supa premium spesha mountz"
22:19.26Amarandelet's face it, these days, how many RAF mounts actually come from recruiting an actual other person :S
22:19.33Amarandeespecially since it has to be a NEW WoW player AFAIK, right?
22:19.41Amarandeand not just getting someone to come back and reactivate?
22:20.57Eraclitoit's painful to get new people to start
22:21.06Eraclitomost people curious about wow already tried it, i think
22:21.34Amarandeyeah, about the only real way to recruit a truly new member is probably if you're recruiting someone from another region
22:21.50Amarandesince you have to buy WoW again to switch regions, that *probably* counts
22:22.37Amarandebut yeah, for the most part it seems to amount to people just purchasing another copy of WoW to get the shiny mount
22:23.11Amarandeso they might as well just consider the cost of WoW (probably on sale) plus the cost of a month's sub plus the $25 mounts normally sell for on the store and charge that
22:23.50Amarandeespecially now that the RAF mounts are about to become all but inaccessible the solo way :|
22:23.58Amarandeat least if I understand the TOU changes right
22:26.22Amarandethere was something about a maximum number of allowed accounts per person, so it'd seem that eventually you'd no longer be able to self-do RAF
22:49.25JunkHeadman. finally hit 7k gold.
22:49.38JunkHeadbut then had to train herbalism and buy cold weather flying.:(
22:50.00AmarandeJunkHead: and meanwhile people look at 7k gold as "po'" these days :(
22:50.13Amarandeand expect us to fork over 10k+ for a single crafted item sometimes
22:50.15JunkHeadI'm lvl 68
22:50.25Amarandebut what's his name insists there's no inflation in WoW soo ... heh
22:50.47Amarandethere *is* inflation though. it's just not continuous, it's more like a ziggurat
22:51.09Amarandeeach new expansion you get a spurt of increase in AH prices, then it plateaus off till the next xpack when it spikes again
22:51.29Amarandestill comes to the same, lower level stuff gets outsized prices in the end
22:51.51JunkHeadI hate that in 2 levels I gotta spend 5k on 280 flying.:(
22:52.13Eraclitoget stormwind/orgrimmar rep
22:52.18Eraclitoyou get discount
22:52.19Amarandelet's put it this way ... if there wasn't inflation, then how is a few hundred gold now a matter of course, while back in vanilla the price of an epic mount was considered painful? :)
22:52.32JunkHeadooooh good idea. i think im exalted with sw
22:52.41Eraclitotrain it in stormwind
22:52.47Eraclitoif you train it in dalaran, no discount
22:52.51JunkHeadyeah good call
22:52.52Amarandeyeah, that's one thing I really wish they'd do with the training
22:53.06Amarandemake the riding trainers in the other capitals full-spectrum
22:53.20Amarandeas it is, it rewards people for focusing specifically on Human or Orc missions and ignoring the other races
22:53.22Eraclitoi have... 11 280 on alliance, 3 on horde, paid for 2 more alliance (both my ex girlfriend character and a friend's one)
22:53.43Eraclitoalso have four 310, but didn't pay them, i got four violet proto-drakes
22:53.50Amarande(and why is the dalaran riding trainer NOT kirin tor aligned :p)
22:53.53Eraclitoi always try to pay less
22:54.15Eraclitowell, more than human quests, i use stormwind tabard
22:54.19Amarandebtw. if you register multiple wow accounts
22:54.33Amarandedo achives/mounts/minipets attach to your whole bnet account or to one account only?
22:54.44JunkHeadwhole bnet account
22:54.57Amarandeah, so if I bought euro WoW I'd still have my US mounts and minipets, then?
22:55.05JunkHeadno.
22:55.10JunkHeadi dont think so
22:55.16JunkHeadi think its region locked?
22:55.20JunkHeadbut i might be wrong
22:55.25Eraclitoi don't really know
22:55.35Eraclitobattle.net account is still the same
22:55.37Amarandeyeah, it's hard to tell, especially since there are minipets that are only obtainable in one or another region
22:55.52Amarandeyou pretty much would *have to* have more than one region WoW account in order to complete your pokedex
22:56.07Amarandeof course, you still cannot complete your pokedex, because there's all those old con and invitational pets :P
22:56.25Amarandeheh I wonder how many people play both WoW and Pokemon and get really galled by that one
22:56.30AmarandeHAHA YOU CANNOT COMPLETE YOUR POKEDEX
22:56.30Eraclitoi found a cataclysm collector for less than 30 euro including shipping
22:56.40Eraclitoi got it, for both the pet and the mouse pad
22:56.47Amarandemind you, I think I know only one person who's got a complete pokedex even *IN* pokemon heh
22:57.01Eraclitoi got a complete pokedex in pokemon blue
22:57.04Eraclitoand silver
22:57.08Eraclitowithout cheats
22:57.16Eraclito(then cheats came)
22:57.24AmarandeEraclito: well by 'complete' we're generally talking including the exclusive ones from various events and whatnot
22:57.45Eraclitowell lately you have tons of events-only pokemon
22:57.56Eraclitoback in time, having a tauros was prestige
22:57.56Amarandeyeah, it's getting kind of ridiculous
22:58.13Amarandeat least the latest pokemon games are for 3DS now so people can actually get them without letting people steal their internet
22:58.13Eraclitoi remember in middle school, fourteen years ago, people always asked for my tauros
22:58.27Amarandethe Black/White era was probably the worst one
22:58.42Amarande"oh, hey, guess what these pokemon go out over Nintendo WFC!"
22:58.48Eraclitowhy the worst one? mind, i "stopped" in gen4 with soulsilver, so i don't know
22:58.55AmarandeEraclito: because Nintendo WFC was a crock
22:59.12Amarandeit's gonna suck having so much content in DQ9 be inaccessible
22:59.32Amarandeor a lot of cards in Yugioh 2010
22:59.33Amarandebut yeah, I'm starting to see the idea of Nintendo WFC going out the door next month being a "good riddance, crappy system" thing
23:00.02Amarandethe basic problem was that all the DS units before the DSi only supported WEP wifi security, which is basically no security at all
23:00.13Eraclitoi faced this issue the last week
23:00.22Amarandeso you couldn't use it on your nice home wifi with WPA2 and all unless you kept mucking with security whenever you wanted to use the DS on it
23:00.30Eraclitoset the new router wpa... oh wait, the ds
23:00.30Amarandeand, to make it a double whammy?
23:00.47Amarandeyou know all those public wifi and all that? you can't even use half of THOSE to get around having to lower security at home
23:00.57Eraclitobut aren't they, like, shutting down ds services?
23:01.10Amarandebecause most of those require you go on a web browser to accept terms ... oh right, there's no browser on the DS to accept terms with! so sad :(
23:01.27Amarandeand the triple whammy? they made the wifi security support be done at the game level
23:01.41Amarandeunlike say the Sony handhelds where the wifi security is done in the console firmware
23:02.03Amarandeso even if you *DID* have a DSi or a 3DS? Oh, sorry, still gotta use WEP for them old games!
23:02.24Amarandeyeah, they're shutting down the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection next month
23:02.56Amarandeso no more online DS stuff unless it supports direct DS to DS and you're in the same room with your buddy, and no more online Wii stuff that goes through it (so things like Netflix etc. are still OK)
23:03.09Eraclitoi liked online on wii
23:03.18Eraclitoalso, last pokemon game on non-mobile console is for wii
23:03.37Eraclitoi don't really like where nintendo is going
23:03.50Eraclitoand i'm not even sure i like pokemon x/y
23:04.00Eraclitoi mean, i don't have them or a 3ds, but i've seen the games
23:04.04AmarandeI don't really have all that many DS games so it's not going to affect me much, some stuff in DQ9 but meh (not to mention the brady guide for DQ9 I got used for 5 bucks doesn't really go into detail on the DLC quests anyway, so it basically assumes you don't have the DLC)
23:04.23Amarandesome cards in Yugioh 2010 but I've barely even played that, apparently I suck at Yugioh, the computer is super cheap or both LOL
23:04.45Eraclitoyugioh games are always crappy
23:04.49Amarandeand FF3 apparently you lose a lot less than I thought you did
23:05.34Amarandethere's only one monster you can't fight without wifi/mognet, one dungeon (which exists for that monster) you can't visit, and the high end gear is really only important if you plan to fight Iron Giant (said monster)
23:05.45Amarandemain story is supposed to be quite easy even if you level only as far as 60
23:06.12Amarande(and if you want to fight iron giant, on top of that you have to level in an obtuse manner in order to keep having them black belt jobs on every time you level at the high end so you can get that max HP ... ick)
23:07.15Amarandenot sure about TWEWY, I'm not so sure how much I really even want to play that even though I've got it ... it looks like a good way to murder your touch screen
23:07.40Amarandedon't know if SMT Devil Survivor even *has* any online based content
23:07.48Amarandeand SMT Strange Journey actually was designed to be future-proof :)
23:09.35Amarandethere's a way to trade demon data with people online, but it doesn't actually use wifi, or any direct DS connection at that heh
23:09.57Eraclitohow does it work?
23:11.54Amarandepassword system
23:12.08Amarandefor any demon you have in the compendium you can show a password you can tell others
23:12.47Amarandeand the passwords can be entered to add the demon to one of three temporary slots in your compendium (you then have to be the right level and pay sufficient cash to actually get it into your party)
23:13.06Amarande(and, of course, there are also a few special passwords)
23:13.55Amarandea few demons actually can *only* be got from the passwords (and, AFAIK, don't count for 100% completion)
