00:01 <ADragonDreaming> I am stronk!
00:02 <Cepheid> Yep.
00:09 <Cepheid> Huh.
00:09 <Cepheid> There's one decision you make that sticks between NG+ runs.
00:11 <ADragonDreaming> "Did you kill the bunny?"
00:11 <Cepheid> ... Nooooot quite.
00:12 <Cepheid> No, on floor 10, behind a locked door, is the Eldest One, the leader of the Deep Ones. When you finish stratum 4, you get the key to unlock the door to it yourself.
00:12 <Cepheid> When you talk to it, it asks you if whether or not it is possible for the Deep Ones and Humans to coexist.
00:12 <Cepheid> Apparently your response is permanent.
00:13 <Cepheid> I chose "No, it's not." On the grounds that he quite literally, moments before asking, states "You humans are like Food and Drink to us."
00:14 <Cepheid> Once that decision is made, it's permanent. I can't talk to it further.
00:27 <Cepheid> Aaaand there. At the final boss of the Senatus side.
00:30 *** Quits: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net) (Connection closed)
00:30 <Cepheid> ... Oh. I fight both of them at the same time. Okay then!
00:30 *** Joins: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net)
00:32 <Cepheid> No matter. These two shall fall, like all the rest. I'll be the one to destroy the Abyssal God.
00:36 <Cepheid> By the way, you take electrical shocks to the face quite well.
00:36 <Cepheid> There's a special attack this pair does. It hits random targets for ~150 damage.
00:36 <Cepheid> Problem is, with provoke, they're all directed to Dreamer's face.
00:39 <Cepheid> And there we are.
00:39 <Cepheid> Two cases of regicide in one night. How terrible.
00:40 <ADragonDreaming> I rather like the image of venerated, powerful creatures directing devastating attacks ... only for those attacks to be pulled in and crash against the bulwark of my face.
00:41 <ADragonDreaming> basically this: http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=042913
00:41 <Cepheid> Heh. Yep.
00:41 <Cepheid> That was basically it.
00:42 <Cepheid> You took all the hits in place of everyone else.
00:42 <Cepheid> So, now, both the Tree and the Great Evil(Abyssal God) are now restored to their original strength.
00:43 <Cepheid> Apparently, both Yggdrasil and the Abyssal God provided a fraction of their power to their respective royal citizens.
00:48 <Cepheid> Strange. I could have sworn I should have the other key item.
00:50 <Cepheid> Hmm, I wonder.
00:51 <Ali> So Cepheid do the maps change when you NG+?
00:51 <Cepheid> Oh. Maybe try going to the sixth stratum.
00:51 <Cepheid> No
00:51 <Cepheid> You retain everything, except, as I originally thought, the key items.
00:52 <Cepheid> If you mean the layout..
00:52 <Cepheid> No, it doesn't change.

00:56 <Cepheid> Oooooh...
00:56 <Cepheid> That's right. Now I remember.
00:56 <Cepheid> You have to poke the Eldest One at the critical juncture.
00:57 <Cepheid> Which... actually is kind of an issue. o3o
01:00 <Cepheid> It basically means I need to do a second NG+.
01:00 <Ali> Whut
01:01 <Cepheid> You can only make one choice per run.
01:01 <Ali> What game makes you NG++?
01:01 * Ali waits
01:01 <Cepheid> Dark Souls.
01:01 * Ali looks at Tailes of Symphonia
01:01 <Ali> Nevermind, even when I can't spell right
01:02 <Cepheid> It took me 2 hours to get through the game, in any case. And since I'm even *MORE* powerful, and I plan to just drag along Librarian, it'll be even faster. o3o
01:02 <Cepheid> Librarian can null combat altogether for 40 steps.
01:06 <Cepheid> I wonder what happens if you evade Hypatia and Agata.
01:06 <Cepheid> Ah. You can't.

01:11 <Cepheid> "Hypatia asks you to find and tell Agata that she's looking for him." "Do you tell Agata that Hypatia is looking for him?" "No."
01:12 <Cepheid> Far as I can tell, none of these decisions do anything.
01:13 <Cepheid> About the only decision that seems to make a difference is down on Floor 6. Hypatia starts complaining of nightmares she was having ever since she entered the second stratum. She asks you to not tell Agata where you found a certain FOE.
01:13 <Cepheid> If you tell him, he dies. If you keep quiet, Hypatia dies.
01:14 <Cepheid> ... Or did I get that backwards? Meh.
01:14 <Cepheid> In any case, it doesn't seem to have any effect after that point.
01:17 <Cepheid> Outta the way, deer FOE.
01:20 <Cepheid> Huh, that's the first choice with them that changes things
01:20 <Cepheid> If you refuse Agata and Hypatia's help regarding Narmer, they don't get access to the second stratum for helping you.

01:25 <PinkieShy> Power was out all day long here :(
01:25 <PinkieShy> it just came back on 30 minutes ago
01:25 <PinkieShy> 82F inside..
01:25 <DashedRainbows> So cool...
01:26 <PinkieShy> Lightning struck the electric company's power station and knocked out power for over 4,000 people.
01:26 <DashedRainbows> That really sucks
01:26 <PinkieShy> 82F might be cooler than 100F but the humidity was the problem.
01:27 <PinkieShy> DashedRainbows what's weird is i got up this morning to unplug my computer and a few minutes later power went out.
01:27 <PinkieShy> I got lucky i guess.. I mean if a power surge would have happened during the lightning strike on the substation then i would probably be without computer
01:27 * DashedRainbows sniffs PinkieShy
01:27 <DashedRainbows> Good timing
01:28 <DashedRainbows> Smells like baked horsey
01:28 <PinkieShy> I had to use very very old oil lamp..
01:29 <PinkieShy> It was to dark inside without power and those old lamp had just enough oil to give enough light until the power came :D
01:29 <PinkieShy> Which tells me.. I should replace the wick and oil in those lamps
01:32 <PinkieShy> Neighbors and such cranked up their generators for them.
01:32 <PinkieShy> Which is making me want to look into getting one as those things can come in handy.
01:35 <DashedRainbows> Last time we had to flee for it was too hot
01:35 <DashedRainbows> Luckily we have a pool
01:37 <DashedRainbows> How the power went out on a sunny day I don't know
01:48 <ADragonDreaming> I am attempting to solve an Infinifactory puzzle in over 10000 cycles.
02:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #1891 [ http://tinyurl.com/y54t9sdy ]
02:01 <Cepheid> ... Oh, that's why the danged thing refused to talk to me.
02:01 <Cepheid> I was confused, as I was certain I had to do something at this point.
02:02 <Cepheid> I just did a quick looksee on a walkthrough. If you accept the mission following the fourth stratum boss, it locks you out as well.
02:02 <Cepheid> So I had the right idea last playthrough. Just I FUBARed it by accepting the mission before talking to the creepy kid.
02:09 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, while I haven't screwed it up yet, I'm under the impression that going that neutral route is part of how I keep the key item.
02:09 <Cepheid> Which means I'd need to do at least one more run.
02:09 <Cepheid> That said, this time...
02:09 <Cepheid> It took me an hour to reach stratum 4, so it's moot.
02:09 <Cepheid> The squad is just so danged powerful it walks over everything, and walking through the labyrinth is more a case of memorizing the fastest path.
02:10 <Cepheid> Anyways... Tomorrow. I'll do this tomorrow.
02:12 <ADragonDreaming> well, my math was off a bit.
02:12 <ADragonDreaming> I'll probably hit 11000 cycles.
02:12 <ADragonDreaming> ...gat dammit
02:12 <ADragonDreaming> now I have to restart.
02:12 <ADragonDreaming> This won't solve.

05:56 <Schism> Hi!
05:57 <ConfusionRift> I don't know why, but I remember seeing that first scene before. Not the second, of course.
05:57 <Schism> Mebbe? Either way, I should finish that damn tower now.
05:58 <Schism> I never did get around to doing that.
06:02 <Schism> Ah yes, and now I remember why. "Gautham, you cannot be serious."
06:06 * ConfusionRift whispers. "Remember, if you get stuck, you can adjust the speed of puzzles."
06:07 <Schism> I know. And I'm really... really probably going to.
06:09 <ConfusionRift> You still have to deal with the final boss, which is a multi-stage mayhem.
06:10 <ConfusionRift> And that one bullet puzzle is the last puzzle.
06:11 <ConfusionRift> The tower can be cruel.
06:11 * Ali flumps into ConfusionRift and Schism, feeling very lonely
06:12 <ConfusionRift> At least, after going through all that, you will be allowed to move straight to the final fight.
06:12 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.
06:13 <ConfusionRift> Gonna try to wrap-up Terraria.
06:14 <Ali> I wish I could
06:14 <Ali> Just can't beat moon lord so yeah...
06:14 * ConfusionRift wishes he could just give Ali the Shredder.
06:15 <Ali> Don't play modded.... would take a razorblade typhoon or whatever the bow is off of Duke Fishron...
06:16 <ConfusionRift> Tsunami?
06:16 <Ali> I guess....
06:16 * Ali curls into ConfusionRift
06:18 <ConfusionRift> If I do get it, how would I be able to give it? o_0
06:18 <Ali> Play on the same game map
06:19 <Ali> But then I don't want it gifted...
06:19 <ConfusionRift> ...I still have to find the truffle and fish the guy out. Hmmm.
06:22 <ConfusionRift> In modded, you can craft the truffle, which you can also re-craft to be used without fishing for the guy.
06:25 <ConfusionRift> And the server is out as well.
06:26 <Ali> Eeyup

06:36 <ConfusionRift> Again we go, you... you... poopy head!
06:43 <Schism> ... Gautham, you are NOT Vishnu, stop pretending you are.
06:45 <Schism> That barrier change bit was fun. The way he swooped with a WIDE arc, not so much.
06:47 <ConfusionRift> Wait for the final attack. :P
06:51 <Schism> Jerkface charged attack, I forgot I need to use fire for that.
06:53 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that's a bad time.
06:55 <ConfusionRift> Right, I have to fight Yharon twice...

07:00 <ConfusionRift> "Solar Eclipses become ludicrously more difficult after defeating Jungle Dragon, Yharon's first phase. All enemies have their health increased by 32.5x, and they deal 250 more damage. Mothrons slain during a buffed Solar Eclipse will drop Darksun Fragments."

07:04 <ConfusionRift> It is. It is very rough, especially to get to the 15th wave.
07:05 <Ali> I've made it to wave 15 Pumpkin but the weapon I had can't really deal with 7 pumpkings
07:06 <Ali> I think I've made it to 12 in Frost but those Ice Queens are a pain
07:14 * ConfusionRift checks his new armor. "..."
07:15 <ConfusionRift> Weapons do NOT consume ammo. And it seems it includes rockets. :P
07:17 <ConfusionRift> Wait... the star cannon!
07:18 <ConfusionRift> Well, Yharon's gonna either explode in confetti, or go home on one limb.
07:18 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, survived the massacre.
07:29 <Schism> That was a final attack? I mean, okay.
07:30 <ConfusionRift> I... kinda had dodging problems on that last one, but hey. You're set for the rest. And now... story time.
07:31 <ConfusionRift> Also, some of the patterns can be pretty easy to go by, but other times it just doesn't play nice.
07:32 <ConfusionRift> Yharon: Round 2.
07:36 <ConfusionRift> Okay, that was... that was pretty messy. I also wasn't expecting a song with lyrics. :P
07:39 <Schism> "It's too bad you didn't get to meet Ivan."
07:39 <Schism> Heh. Wanted this ending first.
07:41 <ConfusionRift> Aah, wanted the kinda sad ending first?
07:41 <Schism> Yap.

12:26 * Schism doffs his Canavan.
12:27 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
12:27 * Finwe hats on Surreal_Nightmares.
12:35 <RazorSharpFang> I'm 13 minutes into vanilla and I'm astonished at how fast progress is compared to seablock
12:37 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> I'm feeling the opposite on Terraria. If I go to vanilla, all feels slow and just generally weak.
12:39 * Finwe noms on RazorSharpFang's Terraria mods.
12:39 <ConfusionRift> He's playing Factorio. :P
12:40 <Finwe> I kind of meant to write "ConfusionRift", but it somehow became RazorSharpFang. 6.9

12:47 <Schism> I shall soon be an uncle.
12:48 <ConfusionRift> Nice, congrats!
12:49 * Finwe has been an uncle since 2003.
12:50 <Finwe> Miss DashedRainbows.
12:50 * Finwe doffs his hat.
12:50 * DashedRainbows chews on the hat
13:07 * Finwe flailyhooves at DashedRainbows! D:
13:08 <Finwe> One does not simply chew on my hat.
13:08 <ConfusionRift> But it's made of candyyyyy!
13:09 * DashedRainbows whimpers. Is bad pony
13:09 * Finwe patpats DashedRainbows.
13:10 * DashedRainbows licks Finwe
13:10 * Finwe tastes of saithe, herring and fresh potatoes.
13:10 <DashedRainbows> Interesting
13:11 <Finwe> That's what I'm having for lunch at the moment.

16:32 <Cepheid> How is everyone this morning?
16:33 * Schism obtains the Zenos yae Galvus card. "Oh, going well. How're ya?"
16:38 <Schism> Cepheid: And yes, I'd probably do that.
16:38 <Cepheid> Good, actually. No longer wheezing. Still coughing, but it feels more like a cold, now.
16:38 <Cepheid> Which I think means I got over the worst of it
16:40 <Cepheid> Still can't hear worth beans though.
16:45 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-v5g3t8.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
16:47 <Cepheid> These days, I wonder if I'd have the focus to play a Pen & Paper game like DnD or Pathfinder.
16:55 * Cepheid gets back to the... You know, this squad needs a name better than "Misfits" at this point.

16:57 <Cepheid> I'm debating switching Schism away from healing, so that I can retire Cepheid to Monk/Princess, while dedicating Schism to pure damage through melee or status ailments.
16:57 *** Ali changes topic to 'Welcome to #EquestriaDaily! This channel is rated All Ages | Guide and rules: http://derpy.me/EqDRules S9E16 is allowed for discussion.[Unaired US episodes are also disallowed for discussion.]'
16:58 * Schism attempts to catch the nepnep drgn.
16:58 * Ali noms on Schism's leg holes
16:58 * Schism ish not that tasty.
16:58 <Cepheid> Apparently, the Monk's class skill, Form Qi, benefits the Princess/Prince skills.
16:59 <Cepheid> So take the end-of-turn regenerative capacity, make it even BETTER.
16:59 <Cepheid> In fact, I'm gonna test just see how effective it is. *Saves, does retire, and tests*
17:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Appledash PMV: Zero [ http://tinyurl.com/y6m3keg8 ]
17:01 <Cepheid> Hmm.
17:01 <Cepheid> The skill point bonus is considerable.
17:01 <Schism> Nepto Dragon, GET.
17:01 <Cepheid> Let's see... level 30, 44 points, -5 for the subclass..
17:01 * Ali blinks at DerpyBot, then to AppleDash
17:01 <Cepheid> Minus one point, because 29 levels to start with.
17:01 <Cepheid> No, wait.
17:02 <Cepheid> So, 39 points at level 30. Level 1 starts at 3 points. So that's 6 extra points, from level 65.
17:03 <Cepheid> Hilarious. One point short of maxing out the useful skills from Princess.
17:03 <Ali> Funny ha ha or funny he he?
17:03 <Cepheid> Haha.
17:03 <Cepheid> A sarcastic "hilarious"
17:03 <Cepheid> Which I'd normally pronounce akin to "Heeeeeelarious."
17:04 <Ali> Sarcasm is going to be a bit of a whif today
17:04 * Ali is a bit drugged up due to nightmare
17:04 <Cepheid> ... o3o;;
17:04 <Cepheid> Protect Order active at level 9, the party healed ~180 damage.
17:05 <Ali> So I found a map Cepheid that gave me 5.8M iron and 8M coal
17:05 <Cepheid> Very nice. What's the catch?
17:06 <Cepheid> Hmm. Okay, Qi Form helps primarily active skills, not passive.
17:06 <Ali> Nothing so far, the bug bases are small around it and aren't within 5 sectors
17:06 <Cepheid> Royal Veil still maxes out at 46 HP/turn.
17:06 <Cepheid> But Protect Order definitely benefits.

17:06 <Ali> I think the biggest pain is the trees/cliffs
17:07 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:07 <Ali> They're *yay* everywhere
17:08 <Ali> I think it takes explosives 2 to one shot the trees
17:08 <Cepheid> I believe so, yeah.
17:10 <Ali> I've got a small production base to work on the techs with 6 labs and 4 radars
17:10 <Ali> Other than that, the area is too cramped
17:10 <Ali> So many stupid trees, great for pollution blocking, terrible for base construction
17:11 <Cepheid> You could just turn off pollution.
17:12 <Ali> Meh, bugs don't expand Cepheid
17:12 <Ali> And it gives a reason for military techs
17:12 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:12 <Ali> If bugs are removed, there's no point to defense or the military tech tree
17:13 <Ali> The closest bug base is about six sectors from my current stink, after that its about 12-20
17:14 <Ali> Yep there's the catch Cepheid, which just got revealed
17:14 <Cepheid> Oh?
17:14 <Ali> 10 bug bases about 5 sectors away from the 8M coal
17:14 <Cepheid> That's nothing.
17:14 <Ali> I know I know
17:14 <Cepheid> Take some heavy armor, an SMG, and some red clips.
17:14 <Ali> I'm just very defensive...
17:15 <Cepheid> Nothing wrong with that, but being aggressive can be useful.
17:15 <Ali> Hell people keep telling me I slow play at Magic, but not in the bad term of it
17:15 <Cepheid> Either way, the bugs are going to grow and expand.
17:15 <Ali> Can't expand, turned off
17:15 <Cepheid> Okay, mutate then.
17:15 <Ali> If expansion was on, I'd be rushing harder for walls to establish a no bug zone.
17:17 <Cepheid> Hum.. It seems both sides of the conflict in EO3 are technically the wrong sides.
17:18 <Cepheid> As both sides are, somewhat indirectly being controlled by a greater force.
17:18 *** Joins: Persona (Tilde@Pony-bbbvqb.pdhc.9fgu.6000.2605.IP)
17:18 <Ali> Though Cepheid I do find it a bit funny that the shotgun has more range than the smg
17:18 <Cepheid> Heh, yeah, but the spread makes it less ineffective.
17:19 <Schism> Ohey. Nero tol Scaeva card. There's THAT Imperial I never have to face again.
17:19 * Cepheid places a perfect, 1:1 replica statue of Nero in front of Schism.
17:20 * Schism smashes it into pieces with Nero's very own Impact Hammer.
17:20 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:20 <Ali> You know Cepheid
17:20 <Ali> I never thought of using the belt that provides the iron and gears to the yellow belts to also feed the yellow inserter line
17:21 <Ali> Then Schism replaces it with the serpent of whatever
17:21 <Cepheid> But yeah. Deep City, the Celestial King is being indirectly manipulated by the tree. In return for longevity, he lost his memories. Almost suspiciously, these are the memories of his sister. Meanwhile, Armoroad is lead by the Princess, who is actually a human who achieved longevity by means of a deal with the Deep Ones, and is indirectly controlled by the Abyssal God. She searches for her brother. Guess who the brother
17:21 <Cepheid> and sister are?
17:22 <Ali> The Cellestial King?
17:23 * Ali has sticky l key apperently
17:23 <Cepheid> The Princess and the King, yes. In either case, the ending always involves war with the opposing side.
17:25 <Cepheid> Next goal, get to the boss of the fourth stratum. *Does this in 15 minutes*
17:26 * Cepheid makes note to self. If I ever make an EO-styled game, with guild roster and all that...
17:26 <Cepheid> I'm to allow re-organizing the roster.
17:27 <Ali> Ooof, radars range capped out.
17:27 <Cepheid> Because Cepheid was retired, he's at the bottom of the list. My usual approach of just opening the guild roster, and selecting the top five entries doesn't work anymore.
17:28 <Schism> Bleh.
17:30 <Ali> Bleh, everything is starting to require steel, which I have no real ability to make due to cramped quarters. Other than just shoving it into furnaces manually
17:30 <Cepheid> The last couple of games in the series did one thing to improve it, but it wasn't quite implemented very well.
17:31 <Cepheid> In the last couple of games, while you still can't re-organize the guild roster, you can register up to three team layouts, and switch to them quickly.
17:32 <Cepheid> But three layouts isn't enough, and if you retire or rest a character, that character is removed from the layout inexplicably.
17:33 <Cepheid> Man, if you're strong enough to do it, floor 14 is a short floor.
17:34 <Cepheid> Normal path is to go to the left from the entrance, have yourself get trapped in a 3-gated room with a switch. Activate the switch to raise the gates. One of the gates, a powerful seeking FOE waits. It forces you to take the southern path to continue if you don't want to face it.
17:34 <Cepheid> Which involves a lengthy, circuitous route around the entire floor.
17:34 <Cepheid> If you just kill the FOE, you can walk north, and then east, and there's the next floor.
17:35 <Cepheid> Alternatively, you can take the usual path, go south, east a bit, then north to a secret passageway that returns you to the floor entrance. Then go west, have the gates drop again, activate the switch, then head north while the FOE chases you again, then east.
17:35 <Cepheid> Turning what would normally be a roughly hmm...
17:36 <Ali> Cepheid, you remember the times when assembler 1's used to be totallly useless?
17:36 <Cepheid> They were never useless.
17:36 <Cepheid> They were usable for automating early stuff.
17:37 <Ali> Yeah but in .16, the 2 was a quick research and was vastly better
17:37 <Ali> And the cost wasn't that much higher than the 1 at the time
17:37 <Cepheid> Yes, I am aware, but they still had their uses.
17:37 <Ali> So as soon as you unlocked it, you never made a 1 again
17:37 <Ali> I know, but since they moved the 2 further down the tree and up'd its cost in materials
17:38 <Ali> The 2 doesn't feel as strong in .17 for only a .25 increase in craft speed
17:38 <Ali> Not saying the 2 doesn't have uses
17:38 <Ali> But you're not instantly switching everything over to 2's once its unlocked in .17
17:39 <Cepheid> I guess that's why they balanced them.
17:39 <Cepheid> But, I'll be honest.
17:39 <Cepheid> I have no idea why you brought up Assembler 1s, if this is all you have to say about them. I knew about the change. I've played .17, ye know.
17:40 * Schism shrugs. Also, considers. "I should fill out more fishing logs."
17:40 <Cepheid> I don't know why, but I have increasingly less and less patience this time around, between meltdowns.
17:41 <Ali> Sorry I was dumbly comparing them while idling...
17:41 <Cepheid> No, no. It's not you, it's me.
17:42 <Cepheid> As I said, I'm developing decreasing patience over time.
17:42 <Cepheid> I've been snapping at people over slights a lot more as of late.
17:44 <Cepheid> I just... gah. Simple things keep pushing me, and I dunno why.
17:45 <Cepheid> I wonder if this is one of those indicators of a buildup to one of my meltdowns.
17:45 <Ali> have a destressing kitty
17:45 * Ali puts Tia on Cepheid
17:45 <Cepheid> Even the cats are getting to me. >.>; *Pets anyways*
17:45 <Cepheid> Cats won't leave me alone. Ever since the dog left, they've been on my case constantly.
17:46 <Ali> Welp, another 10 bug bases behind the 10 bug bases
17:46 <Ali> Dis gonna be fun
17:47 <Cepheid> Well, for the time being, if you're not keen on attacking..
17:47 <Ali> Lets see
17:47 <Ali> Six turrets
17:47 <Ali> They're very close to the large iron/coal area
17:47 <Ali> So the stink cloud will get to them rather quickly
17:47 <Cepheid> Do your best to minimize polution. Belt back from the ore spots, and make small mining groups instead of doing my usual cover-the-ore approach.
17:47 <Cepheid> The less pollution that touches the bugs, the less frequent, and smaller the attacks will be.
17:48 <Ali> My thing is is I try to set up a gun line close to the base as I can get
17:48 <Ali> Then aggro them to the turrets
17:48 <Cepheid> Changes to pollution and unit production were made to bug bases. Namely, maximum pollution stored, and I think the amount of pollution per bug was changed.
17:48 <Ali> They kill them while I nuke the bases
17:48 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming_ (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
17:48 <Cepheid> That works too, turret creeping.
17:48 <Ali> Though this is much more effective with rockets
17:49 <Cepheid> Since bugs tend to prioritize military buildings over the player.
17:49 <Ali> Though starter rockets are hot garbage
17:49 <Ali> Takes 3 rockets to take down a bug base
17:49 <Cepheid> Still better than nothing.
17:49 <Ali> I know but resource intense
17:49 <Cepheid> Or even the red packs.
17:49 <Cepheid> The range is better by far.
17:49 <Ali> Red packs?
17:49 <Cepheid> Er, red clips*
17:49 <Ali> Yeah I have red clips for my SMG
17:49 <Ali> But I can't mass them due to needing steel
17:50 <Cepheid> How much steel is it again for the red clips?
17:50 <Ali> 1 per clip
17:50 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net)
17:51 <Ali> It takes 5 copper plates, but I have that set up to manually gather from the plate belt
17:51 <Cepheid> Don't bother automating red clips. A full stack of 200 will last a while.
17:51 <Cepheid> Especially against small bug bases.
17:51 <Ali> Its not fully automated
17:51 <Ali> It has to be manually fed the basic clips and steel
17:52 <Cepheid> Take 1000 iron plates, and... hmm...
17:52 <Cepheid> 8 stone furnaces, put 125 iron plates in each, and let 'em run.
17:52 <Cepheid> They'll finish in about 2-3 minutes.
17:53 <Cepheid> Then combine those 200 steel with ammo clips to make red clips, 200 of 'em.
17:53 <Cepheid> It'll take a few minutes.
17:53 <Cepheid> But they'll last you.
17:55 <Ali> Hmm 4 wroms
17:55 <Ali> Gonna leave those alone after tearing up the bases
17:55 <Ali> Cepheid, stack max is 100 for iron plates
17:55 <Cepheid> In that case..
17:55 <Cepheid> 10 furnaces.
17:57 <Ali> Daymn, 9.3M copper
17:58 <Cepheid> Heh. Nice.
17:58 * Cepheid finally gets Cepheid geared back up. Bought another superweapon. o3o
17:59 <Ali> Its up there by those 20 bugs though, so gonna be a bit to creep that defense into that.
17:59 <Ali> Deciding to research speed/damage 2 before commiting to dealing with them
18:00 <Ali> The only thing I hate about creeping turrets is having to make sure they're fed ammo and not too close to provoke the bugs before you're ready.
18:00 <Cepheid> That's why I use a creeping approach.
18:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Open Art Event - Draw Your Favorite Pony! [ http://tinyurl.com/y3v3ezum ]
18:01 <Cepheid> Start outside the aggression range. Place a turret, feed it. Place a turret closer, feed that. Remove previous turret. Place ahead of turret, feed that. Repeat. Or use multiple turrets if you're concerned, before removing a previous one.
18:01 <Cepheid> In any case, so long as the turret is within the range of the next one, preferably a few tiles away and not like, near the bounds of the previous turret..
18:01 <Cepheid> It'll be reasonably safe.
18:02 <Cepheid> Mind, I would not use red clips for the turrets. Those should be for you, the player.
18:02 <Cepheid> Use regular clips for the turrets. The turrets do enough base damage that they'll be good for low-level bugs.
18:02 <Ali> I'm using greens on the turrets
18:03 <Cepheid> Greens? You're up to uranium ammo?
18:03 <Ali> Basic ammo :P
18:03 <Ali> They look green to me as well
18:03 <Cepheid> ...
18:03 <Ali> If I had uranium ammo, I wouldn't be complaining about bug bases :P
18:04 <Cepheid> Ali, you ever been checked for color-blindness?
18:04 <Ali> Yes, I'm fine btw
18:04 <Cepheid> The basic clips are yellow, not green.
18:04 <Ali> Huh, never paid attention to that stripe before
18:05 <Ali> Fine, they're yellow :P
18:06 <Ali> Aww you didn't use the u
18:06 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:06 * Ali was gonna poke fun that she didn't see the u in color :P
18:06 <Cepheid> I go back and forth. It's a bad habit of mine.
18:06 <Ali> That's fine
18:06 <Cepheid> It has to do with programming, ironically.
18:07 * Schism hums. Is the suck at PvP.
18:07 <Ali> Man if Oil wasn't so far away and I wasn't so *yay* cramped at the starter base, I'd rush to lazors
18:07 <Ali> Build a massive stink steam engine
18:08 <Ali> Make like 10 laser turrets
18:08 <Cepheid> Essentially, in programming, the common convention is to use the American spelling.
18:08 <Ali> And slowly creep power closer to the bug bases as the lasers blast them
18:08 <Cepheid> You very rarely, if ever, see the Canadian/British English spelling.
18:08 <Ali> Warhammer would like to have a talk with you on that
18:08 * Ali sees those u's a ton
18:08 <Cepheid> I said in programming.
18:09 <Cepheid> As in, code.
18:09 <Ali> Sadly even my labs are restricted, can only push out 6
18:09 <Cepheid> Not language used in games.
18:09 <Cepheid> You can still have globalization wherein the words are correct for each language/region.
18:09 <Cepheid> But in the code? It's irrelevant. It's almost always "Color".
18:10 <Ali> Not sure how much effect another .8 damage is going to be vs these bugs
18:11 <Cepheid> What's the fire rate?
18:11 <Ali> 11
18:11 <Cepheid> 11 * .8 = 8.8 damage/sec increase.
18:12 <Cepheid> Doesn't look like a big increase on paper because the game's telling you the damage per shot.
18:13 <Cepheid> If you multiply that by the number of shots per second, you get a more realistic idea of the increase.
18:14 <Ali> Holy balls that's a lot of worms
18:14 <Ali> 8 worms around this base
18:15 <Cepheid> Yeah, they're gonna be a pain.
18:15 <Cepheid> Okay, *HERE* is the Neutral choice.
18:16 <Cepheid> I dunno if I have to report the mission, or if I can do it right now.
18:16 <Ali> Well I kill all the bases
18:16 <Cepheid> I just can't accept the next mission. o3o
18:16 <Ali> And bugger off the worms
18:16 <Cepheid> The secret with worms is that they lead.
18:16 <Ali> They don't attack when under the stink cloud, and I can clean them up with missles
18:16 <Cepheid> If you move side to side while moving towards them, they'll lead their shots and miss.
18:16 * Schism uses some limburger on the worms. The resultant poison does mucho damage over several turns.
18:17 <Cepheid> SHould rest some of the characters. Some of them have skills they no longer need to use.
18:18 <Cepheid> I'll hold off with Ali though, her progression is fine.
18:18 <Ali> And its night, can't see shit
18:20 <Cepheid> Ah, okay, yeah. I have to report the mission first, and I did NOT permanently lock myself out. Thank the gods Atlus wasn't that much of an ahole.
18:20 <Cepheid> ..?
18:21 <Cepheid> Did I still mess up..? Or..?
18:22 <Cepheid> Or is that choice what sets in motion the ability to keep the critical items?
18:22 <Ali> Large base 1 down
18:24 <Cepheid> Hmm. His response after the choice has changed. So something is different this cycle.
18:24 <Cepheid> But it looks like I'll have to do one more run.
18:24 <Ali> Shit there's a medium worm Cepheid
18:25 <Cepheid> Should still be possible on red clips. I'd be more concerned if it was a large worm.
18:25 <Cepheid> Those regenerate health pretty quickly, and hit hard.
18:26 <Cepheid> Again, use it's aiming behaviour to avoid it.
18:26 <Ali> I'm down to 31 red clips
18:27 <Cepheid> Then throw some more iron into the furnaces, repeat.
18:27 <Cepheid> The bases that are gone won't come back.
18:38 <Schism> PvP is... annoying. Can be beneficial enough for character experience, nothing great, but even then -- I always seem to wind up on the losing team.
18:38 <Cepheid> Yeah, PvP is annoying depending on your stance to it.
18:39 <Schism> It's not the worst, but I don't think I'm going to be getting the GARO gear for more than a few classes.
18:39 <Cepheid> I'm all for one-on-one, agreed PvP. Group PvP with small groups is also good. Anything larger than 8 people though and things go haywire.
18:40 <Ali> Cepheid, I swapped to yellow ammo to deal with the rest, used the red to take care of the med worm
18:40 <Ali> Did die to the jerk though
18:41 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's still hard to trick the dang thing in any case. Usually when I deal with a single worm, I work by getting it to lead it's aim. When I see it fire, I move in the opposite direction I was moving in.
18:42 <Ali> Well it kinda wasn't a single worm
18:42 <Ali> There were like 4 of them
18:42 <Cepheid> That doesn't help, yeah.
18:42 <Ali> and the biters
18:43 <Ali> So the goop restricted movement and well
18:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, with a lot of worms that can be an issue.
18:46 <Cepheid> You kinda have to either back up, or walk forward, can't stop that movement, either.
18:48 * Schism obtains a piece of GARO gear. It's short shorts.
18:50 <Cepheid> I feel like taking a break from this and creating a simple 3D maze generator that follows the basic rules of the EO series.
18:51 <Cepheid> That basic rule is pretty straightforward, too. There must be at least a one-tile gap between all hallways.
18:51 <Cepheid> And rooms.
18:57 <Cepheid> Equip frost amulets on everyone... grab some Frost Mists..
18:58 <Cepheid> And we're good for the final boss. Again.
18:59 <Schism> Lessee. 5/6 pieces of Makai Monk gear gotten. Now for the big one.
18:59 <Cepheid> Truth told I probably should have used Confusion Resist +++++.
19:00 <Cepheid> She spams an attack at 50% HP against the entire party that has a chance for confusion. In fact, I think I'll go do that.
19:03 <Cepheid> ... And the best I can get is a Panic Guard, since the Panic Seal is a sixth stratum item.
19:16 <Cepheid> I like how Protect Order isn't considered a buff that can be removed.
19:16 <Cepheid> Because the boss likes to also spam a debuff move.
19:16 <Cepheid> That removes all buffs.
19:20 <Cepheid> Nice try, Princess. Your attempt to cut off the damage only delayed the inevitable.
19:21 <Schism> Hum. The Maelstrom are the most coordinated PvP group, it seems.
19:22 <Schism> And of course, I never get on that team.
19:22 <Cepheid> Bah, won't let me skip the credits. o3o
19:24 <Schism> Well, full up on poetics. What to buy? Oh right, I was going to buy a boatload of Crystal Sand materials.
19:28 * Schism also crafts a drinky bird.
19:29 <Cepheid> Okay, what's going on here? This is getting annoying. I keep messing up the True Ending path somehow.
19:33 <Cepheid> Ye know what? Before I start another NG+, I'm gonna explore an area I haven't, yet. There other Moon Doors that I haven't opened yet.
19:39 <Cepheid> Between Cepheid's class update, and Schism, healing is not a problem now.
19:42 <Cepheid> Well that area is a bust. Superboss room.
19:43 <Cepheid> Moon Door on floor 6. Far as I recall though it just leads to a superboss as well.
19:44 <Cepheid> One on floor 10, but that just leads to the Eldest One, who's commentary implies I screwed up.
19:44 <Cepheid> Then there's the door on floor 16. Locked through and through. The only thing I know is that I need the "Porcelain Offering" to open it.
19:45 <Cepheid> But I only get one piece of the offering from each side, and the game doesn't seem keen on allowing me to keep it like I remembered it doing.
19:47 <Cepheid> Only one thing I can think of.
19:47 <Cepheid> I start the neutral path, and use the door.
19:47 <Cepheid> But first, the Moon door on 6. Might as well map the area.
19:51 <Cepheid> I've heard of resource re-use, but this is silly.
19:52 <Cepheid> It's a sprite for a regular monster, but it hasn't even been tinted or changed in any way. For a FOE.
19:53 <Cepheid> I wonder if Nintendo charged by the bit or something for packaging games. They used a 64MiB chip for storing the game, but it only uses 33MiB.
20:08 <Cepheid> And yep, just another superboss room.
20:08 * Surreal_Nightmares licks Schism
20:09 * Ali mango's Surreal_Nightmares and Schism
20:09 *** Joins: LunaNightwind (rvd42@Pony-p7258g.o55u.j4eu.0191.2601.IP)
20:10 <Cepheid> Only other thing I can think of is that there's something in the unexplored northern seas I have to uncover. So I guess I'll go do that.
20:10 <LunaNightwind> yo
20:11 * Ali flops over LunaNightwind
20:13 *** Joins: Changeling_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)
20:13 * Cepheid guesses then that he'll sail the high seas, uncover the entire map.
20:15 * Schism wins in Frontline. "Hey, who knew, folks who actually PAY ATTENTION to the messages!"
20:17 <LunaNightwind> hey ali
20:17 <Cepheid> Heh, congrats Schism.
20:20 <Schism> And of course, what better way to wait for the PvP queue to pop than fishing?

20:48 * DashedRainbows flops on Ali
20:48 * Ali urks under DashedRainbows
20:49 <DashedRainbows> :( I'm heavy
20:55 <Cepheid> ... "The trade city of Damavan... It is a city known for hinging it's prosperity on the powers of a SEALED DRAGON SINCE ANCIENT TIMES."
20:56 <Cepheid> Anyhoot, I'ma do NG+ *AGAIN* and this time I'm exploring everywhere before I continue on to killing the final boss, after the fourth stratum.
20:56 <Cepheid> Sooner or later I'll figure this out.
21:01 <Cepheid> So, who dies this run? Agata or Hypatia?
21:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> DashedRainbows: Do you want some empathy ice cream? :3
21:04 * Ali boops DashedRainbows, unicorn is just feeling sick to her tummy and being sat on doesn't help
21:05 <DashedRainbows> Lol oof
21:08 <Cepheid> And stratum 1 done.
21:09 <Cepheid> That took me all of... 9 minutes to do.
21:10 <Cepheid> 'Tis too bad I can't sequence break.
21:11 * Schism gets the first set of Makai gear. "Just SO MANY MORE TO GO!"
21:12 <Schism> Thankfully, for ranged, there's only three sets - healer, caster, and ranged DPS.
21:12 <Schism> But there's one set for each tank, for some reason.
21:18 <Cepheid> Honestly, the second stratum is the longest one to get through due to all the story.
21:18 <Ali> Bleh 1200% oil in a very bad spot
21:19 <Ali> Lots of trees and cliffs in the way so transportation by train isn't effective.
21:21 *** Quits: OctaveSymphony (OctaveSymph@Octave.fluffy.pegasi.mare) (Quit: Woopsie)
21:29 <Cepheid> Stratum 2 done. Took me 20 minutes, looks like
21:34 <Schism> Hum. 15,000 marks for each set, plus 4,000 for each weapon. Still, should be able to get there.
21:51 <Cepheid> Second stratum done, 30 minutes.
21:56 <Ali> But you just finished second stratum :P
21:57 <Cepheid> Third.
22:03 * Filly_Nightmares sneezies!
22:07 <Cepheid> Get out of my way, Shin/Shen.
22:08 <Cepheid> Stratum 4 done in... 18 minutes or so.
22:10 * Schism hums. "A few more PvP rounds."
22:10 <Schism> Well. One or two more.
22:12 * Filly_Nightmares lickies Schism nosie
22:12 * Schism places a plush octomammoth on Filly_Nightmares' head!
22:14 <Cepheid> Hum, again. Nothing that I can do. I can talk to the Eldest One, say yes to it's question, but it just acts like I'm missing something afterwards.
22:16 * Filly_Nightmares squishies at Schism!
22:18 <Cepheid> "But this Answer is a Skeleton, lacking the Flesh of Deeds. You carry no proof of your claim."
22:18 <Cepheid> Actually, it's written as "Proof of your Claim." The words are capitalized.
22:19 <Cepheid> He also changes what he says afterwards, compared to normal.
22:19 <Cepheid> "Your words are empty of Conviction." I wonder if I'm meant to kill something first.
22:20 <Cepheid> Can't be one of the superbosses. Game won't let me face them until I finish the game's story.
22:21 <Cepheid> The only clue I have at this point is the item given to me by Olympia, the Starry Shard. "A regular looking rock that is a clue for the Porcelain Offering."
22:21 <Cepheid> It's one of two key items that have a special trait to them.
22:23 <Cepheid> Straight-up won't let you go to the bottom of the fifth stratum, either. It blocks you right at the entrance, past the Geomagnetic Pole.
22:24 <Ali> Thanks wiki, you're useless
22:24 <Cepheid> Oh?
22:24 <Ali> I looked up that character
22:25 <Ali> The wiki says nothing about that person having a quest or change of answer or anything
22:25 <Cepheid> Yeah, the wiki isn't a great help for EO3.
22:25 <Cepheid> It's incomplete.
22:25 <Ali> This is more of a character bio more than anything.
22:25 <Cepheid> There's an explanation for the true ending on the Endings page for it, but I don't want to spoil it for myself.
22:25 * Ali nods, she was just trying to hel
22:25 <Ali> help even
22:30 <Cepheid> In any case, I need to eat and take my antibiotic, so I'll finish up after.
22:30 <Cepheid> Maybe a break from the game would be a good idea too.

22:41 <Cepheid> ... I got a rare drop from a certain FOE, so I sold it. And it unlocked an item.
22:41 <Cepheid> "Bikini Armor"
22:42 <Cepheid> "Armor that doesn't look like armor at first glance, but does its job." Provides +45 DEF, it's usable by any class, and has ++ Fire, ++ Ice, and ++ Volt resist.
22:47 <Schism> Hah.
22:47 * Schism tore open a fish earlier. Got a bikini top.
22:55 *** Joins: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP)
23:03 <Ali> I... don't like how this storm is bowing out...
23:04 * Schism mmms, "The joy of getting MVP."
23:05 <Cepheid> Interesting bit of note.
23:05 <Cepheid> The 4th stratum boss does not appear to respawn.
