    posted a message on Weapon Damage
    Quote from rEDNiNE150

    I am actually not 100% certain, in fact I have never asked myself this question for some weird reason, but aren't the numbers representing the DPS, and the numbers representing the damage-on-hit related 100% with a formula?

    Meaning, it doesn't matter where you go from when figuring out how much damage "+ weapon % damage" adds?

    Correct me if I'm wrong :)

    I'm not sure what you're saying.

    If a weapon does 200 damage on hit, with a 2 second swing speed, it would have 100 dps.

    An ability that does 150% weapon damage would do 300 damage with this weapon. Granted it would likely be at a slower speed than using a weapon that does 100 damage per hit every 1 second (which would do 150 damage per ability use), but per-resource it would be more efficient to use the slower weapon.

    While slower weapons might be more resource efficient, faster weapons might increase resource availability.

    posted a message on Do we own the items if bought with cash?
    Quote from LordRayken

    The real auction house is to profit Blizzard and only Blizzard.

    The money you make is yours, and you may profit a bit yourself - But nothing else. And Blizzard has made sure that you only make a marginal amount and they get the majority.

    You should probably re-read the quote in your sig a few times.

    I really hope my phone doesn't go off and tell me i have an e-mail from blizzard. Work will be left, and traffic laws will be broken (all of them).

    That is, until I step in the door of my house, then its time to arrange for work from home for the rest of the week!

    posted a message on Siding with Heaven or Hell
    Quote from KingCobb

    Heaven. The only interest heaven has in sanctuary is that they don't want it to aid hell. Hell wants to dominate sanctuary regardless just because its there.

    I think that the humans of sanctuary, being literal demon-spawn, would be next on the hit-list once the actual demons were destroyed.

    In the name of Order of course, but still.

    Edit: Both sides would try and off the humans after the other is defeated. I become a necromancer and choose Tran-Oul, telling them both to @#%# off in the process.

    posted a message on Art Direction of gear
    Quote from okrane

    Seriously man, look at what gaming has become: "Shiiiny Looot".
    What happened to playing the game and beating it being rewarding on itself, and not through some colorful status symbol toys and achievements that have to be handed over every time you bother to log into the game.

    Games went multiplayer is what happened.

    People make people want to look (which is a substitute for 'be') better than other people.

    Once more than one person could be in a game at a time, status symbols became important. Video game companies are just responding to demand. (oh god i'm supporting corporations, someone get an exorcist!)

    posted a message on Incgamers

    The interesting part of this is you display in this post just as much narrow mindedness as those you deface. Opinions vary, while granted there are a fair amount of people who lack perspective (it is just a game after all), trying to squash out diversity is a quick way to ruin reputations. I don't care about RMAH, some people do. Who am I, or you, to say that their opinion on the subject is wrong so long as they present their opinions well. The point of discussion is to understand various views, not impose your own. Objectivity and being open to accommodate others is key, Sixen is just as in question as Flux in my opinion. Neither of them present information in an unbiased fashion.

    Closed minded? I dunno, it seems like he gave them a fair shot, and over time his attachment/enjoyment of their community lessened so he left.

    He also didn't say that their opinions were wrong, just that he didn't like the opinions held by the general membership of that community; nor did he try to impose his point of view on anyone, as far as we know (it would be interesting to see if stating one's opinion is considered "imposing" it).

    Judgement is a necessary action of the human mind. Understanding what reasons you have for making a particular judgement allow you to cultivate good (or at least better) judgement. I haven't spent too much time on incgamers (although i remember the site layout from a few cahracter build guides for d2) so I can't say one way or the other anything about Flux, but the diablofans staff seem fairly level headed and willing to examine a variety of perspectives.

    So ok, lets make it this way:

    does ticket buyn' to basketball, football etc. game effects score?
    does banana buyin effect basketball, football game?



    Those questions? No. They aren't analogous questions though.

    Does money spent on coaches/trainers/equipment effect the scores of games? Yes.

    Does that make any of the people playing in those games anything less than the best of the best (for the pro leagues)? No.

    Does the fact that some players have more resources to spend on training or equipment make the game less enjoyable when you are playing 2 hand touch with your family on a family get together? I would hope not.
