title: Are the attack speeds of weapons offset by their damage output?

text: I like two-handed swords because of their higher attack speed, but I am thinking about switching to a war hammer to max out my overall damage output even further. If the war hammer's higher damage output is handicapped by its slower attack speed, though, it may be just as benficial to stick with my two- hander. At that point, it comes down to the subject of "play style" which is really more about what you think makes your character look cooler and a lot less about raw, objective numbers over aesthetic appeal. I guess what I really want is a DPS chart for weapon types, but I can't seem to locate such a thing. Does a warhammer have a higher DPS than a greatsword or does its slow swing handicap its DPS to the greatsword level? It'd make sense if it did actually have a higher DPS. Since warhammers have a slower attack speed, the implications of missing your target would be much greater since it takes longer to swing, whereas a greatsword with a lower DPS would yield less damage, but better recovery of lost damage inflicted if you missed your target. Therefore, giving a warhammer a higher DPS would essentially make it the weapon of choice for players who have become better at coordinating their attacks while the greatsword would be the preferred choice for the novice since they can recover lost inflicted damage by being able to bust out another quick swing if they miss on the first try.

title: Does Civ V have a map editor?

text: > ~~Wait, a non Witcher question? For shame!~~ Now that Civ V's been out for a while, I thought I would repurpose part of the game. Simply put, I'd love to use the rendered terrain to create hex-based maps for use in other areas, for instance, with my D&D group. However, I can't seem to find a stand alone version of a map editor of any sort. The last Civ game I owned, Civ III, had a stand alone program to edit the maps, but I haven't found anything similar for Civ V. Does Civ V have a dedicated map editor? And if it's not a stand alone program, how do I access it in the first place?

title: How Can I Train Myself to Multi-Task Better in Starcraft 2?

text: I love mastering macro, almost as much as I love building robust defenses. But like the Maginot line they always get breached and I lose my starcraft games if the defender can fight off my early onslaughts of Marines and my late onslaughts of cruisers. What I sincerely suck at is balancing game play between multiple units and doing multiple things at the same time. I know this is a problem generally for humans, but is there any advice out there? I found a good video which trained me to do a marine rush effectively but I need to learn how to manage multiple units at the same time in combat. (While not totally neglecting base activities). I do hot key the groups and I hot key my production centers, but it never 'clicks' for me. I get reamed by the computer set at very hard every time.

title: Dungeon Defenders web discconect?

text: I've been finding that I'm get dropped out of a startling number of games for connectivity reasons. I even got dropped out of _my own private game_ right before the end of the boss fight in The Summit. I have a healthy internet connection, and I was running off of ethernet at the time of that particular lag out. I haven't noticed an effect like this in any other game. Thoughts?


The new SimCity allows cities to share benefits such as RCI demand, commuters, unlocks, and utility and safety services. What is not clear is whether certain things are always shared region-wide, or if some things are shared only within the cluster. **Are some things (RCI demand, commuters, unlocks, etc.) shared only by "cluster" instead of region?** If so,   1. What is shared across the entire region, no matter what?   2. What is shared across the entire region if appropriate connections exist (road, rail, sea)?   3. What is shared only among cities in the same cluster? I am playing with some friends the new Maxis game. We created a 16 city region, but with disappointment, we've noticed that the city does not share the RCI demands, benefits etc. (even if they are connected by the same highway and railroad) with all the region but only with the adjacent 3-4 cities (we call cluster). Is it working as intended? The region with 7 cities has a unique cluster? Thanks


title: Anyone know how to beat this bust-a-move plus puzzle level?

text: I was playing Bust-A-Move Plus! (aka: Puzzle Bobble Wii) and I came across this level today, and have no idea how to beat it. It's from 1P Extra Pack 2, Zone ?-4. I've searched everywhere and can't find anything about this level anywhere on the internet It contains nothing but Star Bubbles and Support Blocks. About every 2 shots, the screen drops one level, and if any of the bubbles or blocks gets past the line, I, of course, lose. I know I have start by removing the bottom most Support Blocks but I always come up one move short of doing that. Here is what I'm doing to free the two lower sets of Support Blocks. I take 2 shots for the 3 Star Bubbles on the right, 2 for the 3 Star Bubbles on the left, 3 to disconnect them both from the middle, and 2 more (one for each side) to free up the last Star Bubble on the top of each set of Support Blocks. However before I can shoot the last Star Bubble to disconnect final Star Bubble on the remaining side the level moves down and I lose. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. ![A picture of the level](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hi4VM.jpg)

I went up to a terminal in Haven, entered Clockworks Level 1, proceeded to bash a bunch of wolves and make my way through the level, finishing at the elevator.

I thought that getting through the first level and reaching the terminal/elevator at the end would be sufficient.....what am I missing?

title: How to use reapers if not to destroy buildings?

text: In HotS, Blizzard will be removing the D-8 charges from reapers (the special attack that makes them effective against buildings). Currently, I like to build a pack of reapers (6-8) and use them to plow through an enemies base when he doesn't have troops there or is distracted. Now, I'm wondering how I can use them effectively in a different way (especially when HotS comes out). I've tried adding them to my bio unit composition, but just marines + marauders seems much more (cost) effective, especially with upgrades. I can see them uses as an early harass / annoyance, but that probably works only against Protoss and only before they have stalkers. Blizzard said at one point that they nerfed them too much in WoL, and want to bring them to their full potential in HotS. So I assume that they do have a valid use besides as an anti-building specialist, but what is that?

text: In the Witcher you choose a difficulty level at the start and can't change it thereafter. I've played through a fair way and would like to change difficulty without restarting and having to play through from the start again. As this isn't in the core game, I was wondering if there are any mods or other methods of changing the difficulty level? I've had a search, but can only find mods to up the difficulty to 'very difficult' which isn't what I'm looking for (I'm helping my wife to play through on easy and thinking of switching up to medium)

title: Engineer condition removal upon kit equipement

text: Whenever I equip a kit with my engineer, I am able to remove a condition. This effect seems to trigger with a cooldown. But I can't seem to find where does this effect trigger from. My weapons do not have specific sigils, nor my armour have runes. I've got 30 Firearms (IV, VIII, XI), 30 Alchemy (V, VII, IX) and 10 in Tools (IV). The only traits that would be related to this effect are: Alchemy IX Backpack Regenerator that gives regen when equipped with a kit, or the Tools IV Kit refinement which cast a spell or attack upon equipping. I think the latter is the most probable source and that the effect is some kind of undocumented effect. So, do condition removal comes from this trait? EDIT: This works with Elixir Gun, Flamethrower for sure. Does not trigger with MedKit.

However, aside from the achievement and moral implications, what are the differences for "doing what's right" and "doing what's wrong"? Will I get more money when making a delivery for the cult? Will I get a different reward than money, when I don't?


title: How is skill damage calculated based on weapon damage?

text: I understand that spell damage in based on weapon damage, but how? A weapon has both a damage attribute (e.g., 2-3 damage), and a damage-per-second attribute (e.g., 3.0 damage per second). Let's say we have two scenarios:   1. You equip an apprentice's wand: 3.0 Damage Per Second, 2–3 Damage, 1.20 Attacks per Second   2. You equip a variation of this wand: 3.0 Damage Per Second, 1-1.5 Damage, 2.40 Attacks per Second. Now if you cast a Magic Missile (110% weapon damage) in scenario one, would it deal 2.2-3.3 damage? And 1.1-1.65 damage in scenario two? So this could be balanced by the fact that weapons with higher attacks per second allow you to cast spells faster. But in this case, it would cost more arcane power. Is arcane power adjusted with attacks per second? Is this mechanism explained somewhere ?

Now with 1.05 Trail of Cinders will only do 300% but stackable. Does anyone know if the any of the above change also (Weapon Damage vs DPS, Crit Chance)?

title: Diablo 3 - Weapon damage based abilities

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How is skill damage calculated based on weapon damage? I am confused a little bit about weapon-damage based abilities. My minimum weapon damage for my barbarian is 1066. If I use Weapon Throw (which damages "for 100% weapon damage"), I will hit for around 15,000 damage. Based on this little bit of information, and the tool-tip supplied by Diablo, the damage is actually my weapon damage (1066) multiplied by your strength divided by 100, multiplied by the spell percentage (100). This all makes sense, until I analyze another spell (Earthquake): Let S equal 12.51 (my strength/100). Let P equal 2000 (percentage based on Earthquake) Let D equal 1066 (my lowest weapon damage) S*P*D = 26.67132 million. Based on this, earthquake should be doing ~3.3 million damage per second. Comparing my standard output (around 40k DPS (according to Blizzard)), to the damage of Earthquake, it just doesn't seem true at all. What am I missing?

But ... assuming you haven't found any concrete intel at this point, what do you lay down first, Twilight Council or Forge? While Forge in itself isn't that expensive, you can't seriously plan to build both Forge and Twilight Council **and** and have enough minerals / gas left to buy upgrades at both. One advantage of Twilight is of course enabling High/Dark Templars. So ... how (and when) do you decide which of them to get first?

text: Some people call it Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), Valve is calling the upcoming Dota 2 a Action RTS (Real Time Strategy) and I've seen some using Action RPG. Has the community come to an understanding? I do not play these games much (or well :P) so I don't know.


title: Maxing out gear with maxed out smithing, enchanting and alchemy

text: I have level 100 smithing, enchanting and alchemy. I also have some nice enchanted gear, fortify smithing and alchemy. How high should I be able to get my fortified equipment? Currently I'm around 29% for alchemy and smithing. How high can I get fortify smithing and fortify enchanting potions without using the console (cheating)? And how? Currently I get +147% and +32% respectively. Is something like this possible without using the console(or photoshop)? ![Photoshop much?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sKDSQ.jpg)


title: Skyrim: Is there a percentage cap to the alchemy/enchanting fortification loop?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Maxing out gear with maxed out smithing, enchanting and alchemy With 4 pieces of +28% fortify alchemy gear, I was able to create a +32% fortify enchantment potion. I was then able to use that potion to create 4 pieces of +29% fortify alchemy gear. However, using the new gear, I was still only to create another +32% fortify enchantment potion. At first, I thought that it was just rounding down to the nearest whole number for display purposes and that it was actually 32.xx% behind the scenes. However, I don't think this is the case. Usually, when items are distinctly different in any way, they group separately in the inventory screen, but the +32% potion I created with the +29% alchemy gear groups in with the other fortify enchantment potions that I previously created with the +28% gear, so I am assuming there's no change. I hear there's a fortify restoration exploit, but I don't want to use that. Basically, I just want to know if +32% is the most I am going to get from a fortify enchantment potion.


title: Enchanting Items above 37%

text: I've gotten my Enchantment up to 100, and my smithing up to 100, So I _was_ wearing Vampire armour which allowed 125% magicka regen, which I thought was pretty awesome. Anyway, I thought well wouldn't it be nice to look cool and also have the armour AND regen, but it turns out I can't do that? After all this work to level up, I disenchant my Vampire Armour, make daedric armour, enchant it with greater soul, and only get 37%!! What kind of crap is that? How can I make enchantments like the enchantments that are found in the game items?

title: Which house / safe storage chest is closest to a fast travel destination?

text: In Skyrim, what house or safe storage chest is the closest in travel time from a fast travel location? Preferably there should be no loading screens between the fast travel location and a chest to dump stuff. I am currently using the Riverside Shack south of Windhelm which is reasonable close though still annoying for lack of containers and drafts. (And may not be safe.) Note: The place doesn't need to be free, I've quite a bit of money. I'm looking for the overall most efficient / fast access house.

title: Do armor sets have maximum armor caps?

text: I created a set of Dragon Scale armor with 100 smithing and improved them to legendary, they had an armor rating of 584(502 without the shield). Here are the individual ratings for each piece of gear (with 5/5 light armor skill bonus[100%], 25% all light armor bonus, and 25% matched set bonus). Armor - 232 Boots - 84 Gauntlets - 84 Helmet - 103 Shield - 83 This adds up to 586 (or 503 without the shield) and yet the armor rating I get is 502 without the shield, and 584 with the shield. I took another set of dragon scale armor and made and improved them while wearing +100% bonus gear to smithing. I got gear with much higher ratings as follows .. Armor - 300 Boots - 119 Gauntlets - 119 Helmet - 138 Shield - 102 And I still get the same armor ratings, 502 without shield and 584 with shield. Has this worked properly for anyone else? Could it be a bug? Is this intended? Any information would be helpful =] I'd really like max armor resistance without the shield on. Thanks! _UPDATE_ \- I took my original set of dragonscale gear back to the workbench wearing my +100% smithing gear and was able to "upgrade" that set to legendary with the new armor ratings and that set worked just fine, must have just been a buggy set of dragonscale gear. Selling it to a vendor and rocking my 674 armor rating without a shield =D Thanks for the help/ideas guys!

I play Protoss, I consider my macro good (certainly room for imporvement, but my macro is almost always better or equal to my opponents unless I am micro-ing), and my big "problem matchup" is PvT. I prefer to go High Templar over Colossi against Terran, but I'm not really certain at what point I should be getting it, and how to integrate them with 1-1 ups and a general army. So when should I get Templar? After 2nd is saturated? After 3rd? And what should I get before that? How would I counter a stim timing push? Thanks in advance.

title: Is the monthly loan fee non-refundable when a loan contract is terminated?

text: I just had the following face-palm moment: found out that a very interesting player was listed for loan, quickly moved in with loan offer, the salary wasn't much so I "snatched" him up. A little while later I noticed that my transfer budget is decreased pretty significantly, so I checked my transfer history to see what I spent the money on. Turns out the contract had a £300K/mo fee which I have not paid attention to. Figured I don't need the player for such a cost, and that I had better use of that £3.6M. I terminated the loan next day (in-game), but my budget has not increased. The transfer expenditure is consistent with my calculation, i.e. players I bought + £300K * 12. What makes sense is that my team is charged for the month, but the remaining 11 months transfer budget is returned. However it doesn't seem to be the case here. Does anybody know if this is a permanent situation, or until the next month?

title: Is there way to turn-off auto-tagging of enemies in Far Cry 3's minimap?

text: Right now, whenever an enemy fires at me or gets near me, they show up on the mini-map, as if they were tagged with the camera. With this effect on, not only do I always see exactly where they are, but also the direction they are facing: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/25YW0.jpg) Even worse. Enemies that were "auto-tagged" like that become also semi-visible through walls. I can live with camera tagging, because that, at least, requires me to scout the area with the camera. This auto-tagging, however, spoils all the surprise ruining the game for me. I always know where the enemy I was fleeing from is and how far away they are. Looking through options the only option that seemed even remotely relevant was "Weapon tagging" in the Gameplay options alas it doesn't change the "auto- tagged" behavior. Is there any way to fix this behavior without using a patch to turn the mini- map off completely?

title: How does multiplying damage work in Skyrim?

text: I am having trouble calculating how much damage my character can do in one attack. I get multipliers from various sources:   * 100 one-handed skill(because 100 skill lvl = 1.4x to the base damage. See the formula for some information)   * 5 perks for Armsman(double damage).   * no weapon bonus damage enchantment items.   * sneak attack (x15 with daggers).   * shrouded gloves from dark brotherhood (makes the sneak attack 30x.)   * dualwielding legendary daedric daggers(thats base damage of about 21 each).   * power attacking(double damage with 50% bonus from dual wielding perk (also does standing power attack get thrown in while sneaking?).   * getting a critical hit(double damage if I'm not mistaken).   * and if I'm not forgetting anything using the Berzerker orc power(doubles damage). My question is, what kind of damage multiplier am I looking at here? According to the UESP page on weapons in Skyrim, the damage formula is:               displayed damage = (base damage + smithing upgrade)                      * (1 + 0.4 * skill/100)                      * (1 + perk % damage boosts)                      * (1 + % damage from items)

This is what I did with Corina while I was doing the Alchemy to get the Summoning Seals (which took 3 hours each) During that time I kept an eye on the battery level so that if it got low on power I( would plug it back up and charge it, when I play any other game and I'm charging it I am normally pressing the home button to check the battery indicator and see if it's full (all green and don't have the lighting in it) I do this as I am afraid of overcharging the battery however I am wondering, if I'm playing the PS Vita with the charger plugged in and the battery is full, does it switch to use the charger as the power source or am I risking overcharging the battery if I keep playing while it's plugged up?

title: Is the Tech Pool still present in Borderlands 2?

text: One of the hardest to grasp aspects of Borderlands 1 was the Tech pool. It was a pool of points that elemental "procs" cost. Confusingly this gameplay feature was never directly referred to in the game and it made understanding elemental weapons very complicated (and hard to explain). A key point was that there were different levels of procs; 2x,3x and 4x, each of which did more damage, had larger visual effects and depleted more of your tech pool. I realized when writing What element types are good against which enemies? I don't actually know if Borderlands 2 has this. BL 2 _appears_ to have ditched this for a simpler "X% chance of elemental effect"; that makes sense, it makes elemental weapons a lot easier to wrap your head around. Best I can tell, the tech pool no longer exists; there don't appear to be different levels of procs; either a shot causes a DOT effect or it doesn't. Throwing lots of elemental effects down range doesn't appear to drain my ability to cause further elemental hits. I haven't seen the noticable 4x procs that deal crazy damage and leave blindingly large visual effects. But the tech pool was so opaque I can't really be sure; I may simply not have noticed, or my guns may not be good enough to cause higher level procs. **Does the elemental tech pool exist in Borderlands 2?** If it's still around, what are it's mechanics?


title: tank-like sniper mode for artillery mod?

text: Is there any mod that lets you use a tank-like (first-person) sniper mode in artillery besides the standard "strategical map"? Of course the "map view" is much better for hunting enemies from afar, but sometimes the enemies breach our front and one has to fight for life, one on one. You usually can deliver a single shot from behind a cover if you manage to lure the enemy there, but there are maps where that is not viable... or too late for that. If the enemy circles you, you'll be dead before you can turn, but you still stand a chance at standard tank "sniping mode" distance - but then the classic sniper mode would definitely come in handy, so that you don't overshoot a fast-moving enemy...


title: Xenoblade Chronicles damage hits display shields? How to bypass this?

text: In Xenoblade Chronicles, sometimes when a character hits it displays two grey shield icons next to the damage dealt. I get that it's a reduced damage notification, but why am I seeing it, and what can I do to not get these sort of hits to occur? I read up online and seemed to come across a "Block Rating" mechanic in the game that enemies and player characters have, but I couldn't find any information on how to improve or bypass that value in combat. Any ideas?


title: Can't access many parts of Steam?

text: For some reason, I am now unable to access much of the Steam site. When I click to go to the Store or my profile, it will just load for quite a while and then give me the "Error Code: -7" page. The only things I can access on Steam now seem to be my Library and other people's profiles page.


title: When I smith my weapons, the damage on the weapons go down?

text: My Ebony Bow was at first showing 78 damage - but when I look at the damage it does when I'm about to smith, it says 28 or somewhere in the twenties. After a few minutes, it then says 78 again. I'm not sure what actually happened, but this happens every time I smith.

Is there any way to change the item switch buttons to something else? Ideally mouse 4 and 5 (the side buttons).

text: I've been trying to compile a list of the portable vendors and then sort that list by attainability. I know there is one available to engineers, but the character that I would like it on is skinner/tailor, and I already have an engineer. I was told you could get a guild herald, but then I found out it has a cooldown; I'm looking for something more 'on-demand'. There's mounts with vendors, but they are in the 20k+ range, which is more than I'd like to spend. What portable vendor options exist, and how expensive are they?

title: Is there a point in chosing quest locations in Monster Girl Quest out of order?

text: During the playthrough of the Monster Girl Quest (もんむす くえすと) series, you can often pick your next play/quest location from a map. They are clearly marked with minimum levels suggested for each, and if you stick to that order, the game makes sure you gain enough XP to be ready for the next one in order. Now, you _can_ pick them out of order as well, but the one time I tried I couldn't see much of a difference in the leveling speed, rewards or anything else really. So is there even any point in trying to complete the harder challenges first? Does the game reward - or punish - you for doing so?

Is there anything different in the game once you've unlocked 100% completion in LA Noire? Thanks.


title: Can baby zombies break down a door if only one block is placed in front?

text: I have a village near my base and to make sure zombies don't break into the houses, I put a block in front of each of the doors. But I'm not sure if that prevents baby villagers from breaking down the door or not. If there is only one block in front of the door, does it stop baby zombies from breaking down doors? And does it matter if the block is in front of the top or bottom part of the door? Also, does the orientation of the door affect whether or not they can break the door down?


title: Is there anyway to observe my latency or wireless signal strength over a period of time?

text: Perhaps two weeks ago or so, I began having terrible latency problems whenever I began playing online. At first, I thought the wireless receiver (a USB device) on my computer was simply failing, but these problems also occur when using my laptop, and for my brother on _his_ laptop (we share the same wireless network for about a month or so). There doesn't seem to be a problem with internet connectivity in _general_ (i.e., I have no problem browsing the net, streaming a movie, or downloading a file), but random _spikes_ of lag, which would be much more noticeable when attempting to play, say, Team Fortress 2. I'm trying to diagnose the problem, and my first idea was to check the consistency of the signal strength (i.e., a problem with my wireless router) vs. consistency of ping (i.e., a problem with my wireless provider). Are there any programs I could use to test one or both of these? Note: I would like to be able to test over a period of time, because the problem is not consistent.


title: Is it possible to send a gift anonymously or at least without them knowing beforehand?

text: I want to send someone a gift as I may or may not be involved in a secret santa on steam. Ideally I don't want them to know I sent it at all (the secret part) but I guess steam will tell them who sent it. Failing that, I'd like them to not know it was me until the gift notification turns up in steam. I'll send a custom message so they know it's part of the secret santa. I'm guessing people aren't going to want to post email addresses around, so **is it possible to send a gift via steam without their email address and not adding them as a friend?** I have a link to their profile.

title: How do I avoid dying?

text: I've recently tried to go up in higher Torment difficulties with my Demon Hunter. Despite my damage being good enough to fight, I always have trouble staying alive and especially during prolonged battles, when all my resources have been used. I have about 6M toughness :   * 325 000HP   * ~1200 All resist   * 5K armor I rarely get one shot, however, I can't seems to be sustainable enough. I've tried to use the templar regeneration and to boost up the health from Globe so I can get my health back between elites pack (which seems fine enough), but versus hard to kill elite (like Max Health and Return Damage) I always end up dying. Since there is an hardcore mode, I believe it's possible to fight in Torment 6 without dying so : How do I boost up my survivability ?

title: Is it possible to have voice chat on the PS3 go through both the headset AND the TV?

text: I'm really curious about this. I'm thinking about going back to livestreaming via my Elgato. However, the thing that's been putting me off for the PS3 side, at least, is not being able to have my voice chat go through both the TV AND headset at the same time. I've been playing more and more TLOU lately, and I think it'd be easier for the people on the other end of the stream to be able to listen to my teammates. Now, I know that the Xbox 360 has the capability to have voice chat in games/parties go through both the TV and headset simultaneously because I do this when I stream/record. But I've heard of , and I'm pretty much clueless from there. My current setup for recording (not streaming) is:   * Elgato's HDMI Out is plugged into the TV   * Elgato's A/V In is plugged into the PS3   * Elgato is hooked up to my desktop/laptop   * A (crappy but decent) bluetooth headset connected for my mic and to listen to voice chat


title: Are Berserkers and Chryssalids supposed to be able to attack me when I discover them?

text: I have constantly heard that the aliens cannot attack on their first sighting. I discovered that rule does not apply to melee enemies, apparently. I had a Berserker show up, do his intro dance, and crush my soldier from the other side of a wall. I have had a Chryssalid show up, do his spitting intro, run up to my veteran soldier, and kill him. I'm playing on Classic Ironman, so is this something that's specific to my difficulty? Or do melee enemies do this regardless?

EDIT: The current answer quotes a Bioshock 1 wiki article, and mentions Bioshock 1 weapons, plasmids and difficulties (pistol, Enrage, Survivor difficulty), which are not usable by the player character or don't exist in Bioshock 2. Can anyone give info or examples on Bioshock 2-specific weapons, plasmids or enemies?

title: How do the super power upgrades that work differently for each element, work for the 'Explosive' element (Element of Destruction Pack DLC)?

text: The Element of Destruction Pack DLC introduces the 'Explosive' element for all super powers: Explosive Chain Blast, Telekinetic Time Bomb, Airstrike Stomp and Explosive Buff. There are upgrades that affect all elements and may work differently for each element. Since the game currently does not have a description of what these upgrades do for the 'Explosive' element, I am wondering what their effects are for it. The upgrades are the ff:   * Blast      * Damage     * Explosive Deaths (Since the Explosive element already explodes affected enemies upon their deaths - what does this upgrade do for it?)    * Telekinesis      * Hold Cost (How much energy is consumed?)     * Power Up 1 and 2    * Stomp      * Damage      * Duration    * Buff      * Team Player (Will nearby homies become immune or take less damage from explosions, or will they have a chance of firing explosive bullets?) For the damage, duration and power up upgrades, what increases and how exactly does it increase?

text: In my playthroughs of rogue legacy i seem to get some traits popping up more frequently than others, this also seems to coincide with the traits i repeatedly pick.

So my question is, if i repeatedly pick a trait, will it become more common?

When I launch, I turn SAS on, and the ship still drifts horrifically on its own.

text: http://sc2rep.net/replays/starcraft-2-replay-z-atnmardow-vs-t-naama-delta- quadrant-09-06-2010 How can I win this game as Zerg? First zerg gets harassed by a bunch of hellions, so you must get a couple of zerglings and roaches. When you tech towards those units, you have invisible banshee killing your queens/drones. So you must quickly tech up to mutas/hydras, but when you have 2-3 mutas finished and you take out those banshees, you now have MM ball with tanks in front of your base, because that terran was all the time massing these units. And because you were forced to tech in this early stage of game, you don't have much units. And GG is inevitable.

title: How do you unlock each of the stages?

text: I've managed to unlock one stage (Towerforge) by playing through the entirety of Quest mode.

title: New levels this week

text: Were there any new levels released this Monday, March 10? I haven't had any problems seeing new levels up until now, but I thought new ones were released every Monday, and I didn't have any new ones available (other than the Salvage droid ones which I just can't seem to win). Or, is there something I need to do to unlock them? I have 5 million coins and nothing to spend them on :(


title: Where are the turret terminals in the map Fracture?

text: turrets have terminals nearby them that you can hack to get them to fight for you. On most maps that have turrets the terminal is right next to the turret. On the map Fracture, however, the turrets are a bit more elevated and harder to reach. The terminals also seem to be not directly next to them like in other maps. Where are they?

title: How is experience distributed between my party members?

text: I've got two fighters on the front line, with a rogue and mage at the back. The fighters both leveled up first, but I'm now a few floors down and I've noticed that my mage is now in the lead on experience, the fighters are still effectively equal, and the rogue is a little bit behind. The differences between the characters aren't significant yet (they're all the same level still), but I'm wondering if I can and should be trying to prevent this from diverging too far. Essentially, **how is experience distributed between my party members?**

title: Enchanting the Wuuthrad

text: In this link i came across the following statement > You can add an enchantment to the Wuuthrad adding to its power. The > enchantment will not be listed; it will continue to say, "Especially deadly > to elves," it will, however, have the enchantment. Soul trap (for instance) > works; the charge level is available and applies to the enchantment. (Not > sure if this is a bug or purposely allowed.) **Does this mean i can add any enchantment to the wuuthrad**? I did try.I recently purged the axe of burning and i have that enchantment but i am not able to use that enchantment on the wuuthrad.


title: Can I change the movement keys in NetHack?

text: I recently downloaded NetHack, and have begun to play on my laptop. However, I find the directional key bindings rather cumbersome. I do not have a Number Pad, and would rather not use the NumLock function on my laptop's keyboard. So, I'm currently left to deal with the default non-numerical bindings for movement. These are very counter-intuitive. The help file displays them as this:               y k u      \|/        h-.-l      /|\     b j n      When, in reality, they're laid out more like this:                YU      HJKL.     BN      Is there any way to change this key binding to be less confusing - perhaps even using the actual directional keypad?
