Have you got steam voip working?

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/23/2013 at 05:26pm

Yes. The trick was "push button to talk." Forget the button, but I just need to press it in LFD2 for it to all work properly :D

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/27/2013 at 02:02am

Ahh that was fun. Really enjoyed the gun we started with. Killing the normal zombies with one hit was pretty rad.

Tim_Bodnar Post Author wrote on 06/27/2013 at 09:53am

That's a fun level and mutation. We just need to survive, :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/27/2013 at 02:33pm

Heal up at the end of that level

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/27/2013 at 02:34pm

Since you can't click on that, you can right-click it and choose to view it in a new tab to see the chart.

Increased monster power sounds good to me. How do you set that?

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/05/2013 at 05:31am

MP1 sounds cool. Didn't even know you could do such things. Probably would know that, if I actually played the game more ;).

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 05:39am

Travis is magic.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:53pm

It's weird. You have to go into your settings to allow yourself the ability to change it. If you had no reason to go to your settings, and you haven't read about Monster Power, you'd never know it was there.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 06:12pm

This time works for me, let me know when its locked in and ill add it to my calendar.

Fun as always. Same time next week? Or do you want to try to get in a little earlier?

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/09/2013 at 05:48am

Earlier works for me, especially on Saturday.

I am fairly new at the game, so keep that in mind :D

Awesome, this should be epic.

What characters do you typically play?

Haven't played a whole lot, but I enjoy Voltar and Gnaw so far.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 04:29am

I may be able to do this. I'll find out on Tuesday when I get my work schedule.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:10am

Awesome, i hope you can.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:11am

Ive been playing as Lone Star and Gnaw. Both reallt good for different reasons.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 07:48pm

I've been playing Genji and skolldir. They are my favorite characters to play and I've never seen anyone else play Genji.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/03/2013 at 08:08pm

I haven't unlocked those yet, I still need to play a bit more for those.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/03/2013 at 10:25pm

I'm sorry but I'm not going to be able to play that night. I have to work.

Ah that sucks, maybe another time then!

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 06/05/2013 at 04:37am

If you ever get one running on a Monday or Tuesday, I'm down. Got this "free" on PS+ last year and didn't care for it. Played it on Steam from the latest Humble Bundle and enjoyed it a lot.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/08/2013 at 03:34am

That was great guys, thanks.

Clearly vdogmr25 was the MVP. Very fun. Learned a few tricks about team laneing and when to back off and push. That said the last level of bots we were at were kind of rolling me.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/08/2013 at 03:39am

Super bummed I wasn't there. Held up at work. Busier than it should have been for a Friday. Really sorry, guys!

I can probably do this. I'll either go Terran or Protoss depending on my mood.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/28/2013 at 04:55pm

I just reinstalled it on my PC. Wow. You know 640x480 doesn't age well at all.

The base game is solid, but CAN'T A BROTHER GET 1024x768?

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:24pm

I'm trying to get Battle.net to work, but I keep getting an error saying it can't identify my version. I downloaded the game through Battle.net, and patched to 1.16. Any one else have a similar issue?

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:27pm

I did it a few days ago and all was well. I try it again tonight and see whats up.

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:27pm

Just figured it out. If you're on Windows 7, use run as administrator.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:07am

I'm seriously struggling here. Using Administrator, compatibility mode (Vista and XP), etc. It just crashes as soon as I launch it. I played it a while back, since I upgraded to Windows 8, so I know it's not that. I tried a new display driver, nothing.

WTF.

I'll keep at it.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:13am

So I am on Win 7. Upgraded game downloaded from Battle.net.

Compat mode XP SP3, Disable Visual Themes & Disable Desktop Compression.

Lemmie try launching it.

Yeah, it launched ok. Menus look like crap, game is fine.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:25am

OK got it working. I'm not sure what changed. I decided to clear all the changes and go back to how it was before I started, so no compat, no Administrator mode, nothing, and now it works. Go figure.

I just made a new game and it doesn't need a password.

Yep, getting latency too high

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:04am

Do you both have SC2? Maybe we can just play that.

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:05am

Same error. Are your ports properly set up?

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:05am

I have SC2.

What a bunch of bullshit. I don't remember it being this hard to play on Battle.net back in the day.

Great, lets play that.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:07am

Yeah I have it, switching. :)

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:08am

It has to optimize and update and stuff, not sure how long that will take.

Now, on another topic, I wish I had that battle.net launcher :)

Me too.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 01:24am

You guys will have to have fun without me. I have so many updates to download for this thing it will be hours before it's playable.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 02:03am

Yeah we got a game in, vdogmr25 is pretty damn good.

I am going to do a special SC2 event, now with spawn copies and all we can all enjoy the Heart of the Swarm fun from even the Starter Edition. Which is pretty awesome.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 01:01am

So far played a few matches after work and I really dig it. Still building up a strategy that beats Easy most of the time. That said, playing against even is pretty fair as far as decks go, they just employ some dumb strategy. Apparently I do too, as I win about 70% of the time.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 01:01am

Not sure how you add people to your friends list in game to challenge.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 05:33am

After playing quite a few matches I really like the game. It seems saving up for the scrolls pack at 1000 gold is the way to go as opposed to getting a random card at a time.

What do you guys think of Scrolls?

Chowda wrote on 06/04/2013 at 05:06pm

I think it's fun, I like it so far. I'm sad there appears to be no friending system. I also saved up and bought the 1000 gold pack as well.
