DoubleX

Can you log on now? I want to raid your Friend Safari.

Boo

OK, let me know when you're good for it.

I've wanted an Imposter Ditto since ever, so yeah.

Is your code 1134-8359-8262 Plubs? If so I already added you. Only ones who're pending is TKz and DoubleX both who I added ages ago but haven't accepted

Mine is 2208-5682-5841 if anyone wants to add me.

Did not have a friend request thing from you for whatever reason. Added you now.

Any chance you could log on soon? I want one of the Dittos from your Friend Safari, but with Imposter.

They uploaded last year's GTA at RTX to the Rooster Teeth channel, so I'd imagine it will find its way there before too long, and in better quality than you'd get from some random uploading it.

A dead man switch. I like it.

So do we blame Anne Rice for romanticising vampires? Or were there others before her?

Because she's the prime example of someone who got into that just a tad.

Taken care of how? Banned?

Because I know where his house is, and you can loot it for stuff

It's a rare spawn and no where near as difficult to kill as you make it seem. Plus it has a chance to drop diamond loot, it shouldn't be really easy. I like more mobs varrity, it's more interesting. I especially like the giants and giant slimes.

Personally, considering I only have iron armour and weaponry on the server, it makes a bit of a difference. Iron does all of half a heart against diamond, and diamond does one and a half hearts against iron. Assuming it has the same hit-points as normal skeletons - which I doubt, but please tell me if I'm wrong - then that means in the time it takes to kill me I'll have done maybe five or six hearts of damage against it, which is just bullshit.

Also are these the standard giants that were originally programmed into Minecraft but disabled? Or are they custom? Because the original giants have 100 hit points, which is five times as many as any other standard mob and - seeing as the server is on Hard difficulty - have the capability to one-shot people.

Normal mobs are balanced enough without needing to throw all of this into the mix. If you guys want to play with them, go right ahead, but I'd honestly rather not.

Rocky, I'd replace the current mob plugin with this

Some of the ones in the current one are way OP. This one has the giants and a few other cool ones that aren't insane.

A skeleton with full diamond armour, a diamond sword, and moves faster than normal skeletons?

Fuck all of that.

Just putting it out there, my vote is against any of these custom mob plugins. If I wanted more ridiculous mobs I'd play with mods.

Rocky I don't suppose there's anything you can do with your server to stop people griefing? Logged on a couple of minutes ago to find my house destroyed and almost all of my stuff taken (they didn't take my enchantment table or anything in my basement, which is interesting I guess), with a sign saying "McHacker team GRIEFED" nearby.

I was after bonemeal. I think I'm good for the time being, but I'll keep that in mind.

Also this is Hard difficulty? Interesting. Doesn't feel that way.

Also also, Rocky, do you know if there's a village in this world? I have a couple of emeralds to trade with villagers.

But I am talking about PS3.

I was watching my brother play, and he was in a Seashark race with someone called CloudExile88 who was behind him by about 2:30. Thought it looked a lot like how you make your name look so thought it might be you.

Cloudy did you just catastrophically lose a sea race on Seasharks?

Are you CloudExile88?

In case anyone's interested I found a bunch of horses at about x 600 y 80 z 600.

Rocky did you mess with monster spawn rates? I went out exploring at night, found two spiders, a zombie and a creeper, and that's it. I wanted skeletons >_>

For film characters of a different ethnicity than their comic book counterpart being excellent choices, exhibit A should always be Idris Elba as Heimdall. There was a similar debate when he was announced as the actor to play Heimdall, but I recall Kenneth Branagh in an interview basically saying he picked Elba because of how good of an actor he was, and not because of the colour of his skin. And he was excellent in both Thor movies.

I don't have a Xerneas! Can I have that please?

So unfortunately setting up an unarmed deathmatch on the top of Maze Bank for more than three people is difficult, if not impossible - the creator forces a minimum distance between spawn points, and you need minimum two spawn points per player in the match - but I did manage to make two deathmatches in the creator:

1) A one-on-one pistol duel map on top of the Maze Bank tower - Maze Bank Duel.

2) An unarmed brawl on top of the construction site nearby - Construction Site Rumble.

The construction site, with more room, let me set it up with eight people. I had a go of it earlier with some other randoms and it was a lot of fun. Since no-one's firing any guns you don't show up on the radar unless you run, which is an interesting aspect of it that I hadn't considered, but it does make it a bit more interesting in that you can get smashed from behind and not see it coming.

If any of you want to play them next time you're on GTA Online, the marker for the duel is out the front of Maze Bank, and the marker for the brawl is near the lift that takes you up the construction site in single player.

The EWB GTA Online Royal Rumble

30 men are taken to the top of a skyscraper, the doors are locked behind them.

There is only 1 parachute...

I'll be honest that's where my head went as well when I saw Gazz mention them.

We don't have thirty people but we can absolutely do a battle royal with rules like that. I'm tempted to have a look in the content creator and see about making that if it doesn't already exist; a no-weapons deathmatch at the top of the Maze Bank tower would be awesome.

Wait that's a thing now?

That sounds awesome.

The shiny version of that basically has Salamence's colour scheme.

Behold.

I was trying to breed a Chlorophyll Bulbasaur, and one of the eggs hatched a shiny Bulbasaur. Unfortunately only had Overgrow, but meh. Golden Venusaur is the best.

I wouldn't mind getting back into this. Would be easier now that I'm back at work as of Monday so I won't be sleeping in until 10 every day >_>

I'll keep an eye on this thread, if you guys are doing anything on your Friday or Saturday this week I'll see if I can make it.

What the fuck did I just watch.

I mean seriously.

What.

I'd imagine the Speed Boost ability helps it a lot, which is actually something I want on my Blaziken once I start training them again.

Basically this. Hidden abilities make some Pokemon a lot more than they would have been otherwise, and Speed Boost made the Blaziken line the most powerful starter line from any generation ever.

And then they went and gave it a mega evolution. Because it wasn't quite powerful enough as is.

I didn't bother with the Speed Boost Torchic for that reason. My team ended up being Chesnaught, Gardevoir, Blastoise, Mawile, Torkoal and Golurk. Mega-Mawile is fantastic btw

But that's the way it works with pretty much every game with money and rewards for said money. You get the sense of accomplishment for having actually earned your reward, as opposed to just getting the reward and that's it. I've always found in previous games that just giving myself money and goodies and such via cheat codes and glitches unfulfilling (of course, that's just me; others may feel differently).

It's not like grinding is a game mechanic that's new to the market anyway >_>
