title: Help with installing Minecraft Mods on a Mac

text: Having problems with mods not appearing in Minecraft on Mac OSX 10.8.5. I have installed Forge and the 'Mods' button appears OK under the 'Multiplayer' button in Minecraft. I have downloaded some Mods and placed them into the ~Library/Application Support/minecraft/Mods folder. I have tried removing the META-INF folder from the Minecraft folder. In Minecraft, I have created and saved new profiles for Forge 1.6.4 and Forge 1.7.2 But when the game loads only the 3 default mods appear in the Mod List: a) Minecraft Coder Pack b) Forge Mod Loader c) Minecraft Forge. No child mods. None of my downloaded mods appear!! I have read forums, watched videos, tried everything I can think of. If you know how to do this on a Mac, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks. * * * I have also tried all the steps listed on the duplicate link below. But this hasn't worked either. I am new here and don't have a 50 reputation to be able to comment on this thread. Also the question was asked two years ago, and wondering if the advice will still work for the latest versions of Minecraft and Forge? How do you install Minecraft mods on a Mac? 1. Download the .ZIP file 2. Extract it to some directory. 3. Go to the directory you just created. 4. Open a new Window 5. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/bin 6. Look for a file called minecraft.jar 7. Rename that file to minecraft.jar.zip 8. Unzip it 9. Drag all files ending with .CLASS into the minecraft.jar FOLDER 10. Delete the META-INF folder. You're done!

title: Installing Minecraft Mods on OS X

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do you install Minecraft mods on a Mac? I'm currently at a friends house, and we wanted to install mods for Minecraft (Latest version) on his OS X 10.7 system. Unfortunately, every guide we've tried just doesn't seem to work at all, or seems to be outdated. **So how do you install Minecraft Mods on OS X?**


title: How can I download and install Uranium for mine craft?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do you install Minecraft mods on a Mac? My 11 year old son has gotten into Minecraft. He wants me to help him install some mods, including one called "Uranium." I'm a programmer. Jar files don't scare me. But I don't know anything about Minecraft, don't know the community, and all I can find on Google is links to sketchy download sites and Youtube tutorials from other 11 year old boys. Fortunately, I know Stack Exchange, and trust you guys a 1000 times more than the internet at large. Where can I find this Uranium mod and instructions to install it on Mac OS X?


title: Origin doesn't load the game!

text: I already own a few Sims 3 expansion packs, and I recently purchased Sims 3: Supernatural. It went on without problems, and I clicked the Launcher to play it, but the Launcher wouldn't load at all. So I did the usual and restarted / logged off etc to see if that would help, but it hasn't done anything! I have now uninstalled Sims 3: Supernatural but now Origin keeps popping up this new window saying... > "Only one instance of Origin can run at a time. Please check other Windows > accounts to see if Origin is running." I recently purchased a Windows phone and used my account from my PC (the only account on the PC) for my phone aswell. Has that done something to stop Origin from working properly?


title: Will losing a strategic resource disband units?

text: Does losing a strategic resource make a military unit any less effective, disband them, or else? Or is there no negative effect? I ask specifically thinking about strategic resources I gain via trade agreements. If I get some oil for example for 90 turns from another civ, and I build planes with that oil, after the 90 turns if the other civ does not renew the trade agreement, do I suffer? I found this similar question, but it's about buildings instead of units. I could not find anything definitive online that suggested the actual consequences. In Civ 5, do buildings get any penalties when you lose a source of needed strategic resource?

title: Surviving as a Spellcaster vs. Capra Demon in Dark Souls

text: I managed to beat this boss on the 15th try as a melee character. There are two attack dogs and one Capra Demon (who has good attack range and an unblockable attack) in one tiny room. How can a spell-casting character win this fight, considering the casting time needed for most spells?


title: Is there a Game Boy (Color) emulator capable of emulating a link cable?

text: I would like to start working with http://www.littlesounddj.com/lsd/ on a computer, but game boy hardware (and its emulated counterpart) only support 4 channels of audio max. However: LSDJ supports linking and synchronizing two (and even more: http://littlesounddj.wikia.com/wiki/Syncing_more_than_two_Game_Boys ) game boys for twice the channel goodness. Is there an emulator capable of doing that? Bonus points if you know one that runs on linux and is open source, but even commercial and for windows would help.

title: Is there a way to morph all larvae at once?

text: My macro is pretty poor, and while playing the HotS campaign, I often find myself in cases where my larvae are simply idling. When I've built multiple hatcheries, with the campaign-specific 6-larvae cap, I often find myself with bunches of 12+ larvae. Trying to turn these larvae into combat-ready units is irritating, as I need to press the appropriate button once _per larvae_. I know that in Starcraft the First, selected Larvae all morphed at once, resource permitting. Is there a similar method to morph groups of larvae in Starcraft 2?


title: What is the maximum number of attribute points and ability points?

text: Trying to plan my ability trees and stats, including points received from books and any other source I don't know, how many points can be obtained without modding the game?


title: What can I make with the lab station?

text: In Sword of the Stars, you have a cooking station where you can prepare all kinds of things. But there is also a lab station where you can make items. But you have to get the recipes but it can also be done by trial and error. If you get it wrong you lose your items and also if you make it at the wrong station. Which resource combinations work with the lab station?


title: Why is reaper rushing used less frequently nowadays?

text: In the early version of SC2 (when Rax was able to be built before supply) EARLY reaper rushes were very effective. Recently, as far as I read few times on gaming.se and teamliquid, reaper rushes are not used too often. I never even played against it on ladder (until yesterday). I was playing yesterday against a reaper rush for the first time, and my opponent killed around 10-12 of my SCVs. (I did few stupid misselections: didn't pull SCVs back to defense, didn't get my marines to kill reapers in time.) In the next game after that I tried to do it myself. With 3 reapers, I killed 7 or 9 of my opponent's SCVs. Not every map is good for reaper harass, but if used smartly, it could be a real benefit. My Question: Why this strategy is not used so often? Are there any drawbacks that I don't see?


title: Can I stream non-Steam games using Steam's In-Home Streaming?

text: So Steam can now stream in-home. Does this only work with games tied to the Steam account, or can I play games added via the "Add non-Steam game" feature? _Example_ : If I have Star Wars: The Old Republic on my gaming rig added as a non-steam game, can I play that on a separate machine using the in-home streaming?


title: What purpose does the clan ring serve?

text: I've been playing the game for a bit now, but I'm still confused what the purpose of the clan ring is, aside from giving you advice. I can send non-ring members to perform quests, trade, lead raids, et cetera. I know that having clan ring member follow a certain god will boost all magic involving that god, but is there anything else? What unique benefits does a noble get for being on the clan ring, or is the only purpose of the clan ring to give you advice, and boost magic?


title: What does the Team Recharge Delay on soldier class mods do?

text: I have found this soldier Leader Class Mod: ![Leader Class Mod](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vqyTK.png) What does the -20% Team Recharge Delay stand for? Is it a good thing or a drawback of the mod? I guess it should be something like the Deploy Skill (that reduces the cooldown time of the scorpio turret) for all the team, but I'm not sure.


title: Is there a functional difference between the console and PC versions of the LEGO games?

text: I'm wondering if there are any different play areas (added or missing) between the PC editions of the LEGO games (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, etc) and their console equivalents. I'm also curious if saving to a hard drive on the PC conveys any extra part sharing modes? If the games themselves do not offer this feature, is there a 3rd party editor that helps with this?


title: Why are there only 12 Wii Demos?

text: I just started to use Wii Shop, but I'm shocked that there are only 12 Wii demos. What is the reason for this? I know that there are not many Wii games, but 12 demos looks like nothing when you compare it to how many demos are available for the Xbox 360 or PS3. Maybe it's because of the country I live in? Do other countries have more demos? For example, Sony is known for not allowing you to view some music videos on YouTube based on your region.


title: Can I change my credit card country in PSN?

text: I've just changed country and moved from Italy to UK to work. I'd like to buy a game from PSN using my PSP and my new English credit card. However it seems impossible to change my country in the billing address (and without changing it, my payment is refused). Is there any way to switch my country from Italy to UK?


title: LOZ Windwaker HD scene never ends

text: for some reason the LOZWW HD for WiiU when I get to the part at the beginning with the telescope aryll keeps asking "hey,what's that? playername! are you looking at the red postbox?", plays a chime and then a bloop as if the message was accepted then displays it again. no mater where I look and however long I spend looking in that direction it keeps doing that and none of the buttons except the control sticks work. what am I doing wrong?

title: What does the plus and minus mean on the Argosy trade screen?

text: When trading with the Argosy, I noticed that some of the trade goods and some of my commodities had either a plus sign with a blue highlight on the cost bar or a minus sign with a purple bar. I figured that this meant that the value of the commodity/trade good was increased or decreased, but I couldn't tell which.

title: Do customization options change over the course of the game?

text: I'd like to give my guys big beards, but Franklin appears to be the only one capable of growing it out. Does my choice of barber affect my choice of hairstyles? Will more customization options be available later in the game, or are the choices within each store static and based on character? Is Michael ever able to rock anything more than the stubble?

title: How do I turn off disasters in SimCity?

text: I don't mind if my city has disasters such as fire because my city has fire stations nearby. But I have no way to handle other disasters and these disasters happen too often. Is there any way to disable disasters? It would be great if I could disable specific disasters instead of all of them. **Update** The disasters happen much less often now. An earthquake happens once after I updated to 1.3 and 18 hours of gameplay in cheetah speed in contrast to 2 hours in 1.0.


title: How to change interface language of SimCity?

text: Apparently, there is no easy way to change the interface language of SimCity. I had installed it via Origin on Windows 7 system. OS interface is in English, but locale is different, therefore, Origin had its interface in my native language, and installed SimCity localized as well. There is no language settings in game, and changing Origin’s language did not get me anywhere. It looks like the game was installed with a single language identification that is located in `%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Electronic Arts\SimCity\SimCity\Locale\\[ISO language-locale code]\` (single `Data.package` file, about 512 kb). So I am trying to determine if there is an easy(-ish) way to change the language on as-needed basis without changing OS locale settings or reinstalling the game.

title: I've rescued the Queen from the Cathedral. Now what?

text: The Queen was stuck in the Cathedral. She's been freed and is back in our party. Hooray! However, I'm now stumped. Everybody in the castle, the inn, the market or the residence seems too happy about the rescuing of the real queen to aid with time travel. The Cathedral's now completely empty. The starting area only has a couple of monsters playing ball (also a monster). The forest only has the usual bunch of people. There seem to be no other points of interest in the map. What now?


title: What runes can I use to maximize Tristana's early game?

text: I'm playing Tristana and in addition to my W (jump) and E (DoT), I want AD runes to rule like hell on start. I've tried:   1. Armor Penetration Marks and Quints, scaling HP/lvl Seals (yellow), and scaling ManaRegen/lvl Glyphs (blue)   2. Crit Marks and Quints, scaling HP/lvl Seals (yellow), and scaling ManaRegen/lvl Glyphs (blue)


title: What is "mid-battle leveling"?

text: The top answer to this question contains several references to "mid-battle leveling". I think this has to do with leveling up as a way of healing while fighting a difficult monster, but does someone want to clarify what this is?


title: Trouble getting to sleep after gaming session

text: If I've played for about an hour or two directly before going to bed I have trouble getting to sleep. Images of the game are still in my head and it takes some time before I can find some sleep. However, this doesn't happen with all types of games - adventure and racing games seem ok whereas first-person- shooters are especially problematic. Do you experience similar troubles and do you know some kind of trick to calm down after a gaming session?


title: When can I cast Adept spells? Where can I buy them?

text: After completing the Eye of Magnus quest, Faralda was selling me adept spells. By mistake I reloaded one old save and Faralda now doesn't sell me Adept Destruction spells anymore. I tried reload many times and didn't work. I'm level 12. What should I do?

title: How many cubes are in each Desmond sequence?

text: There are some spinning cubes hidden in the Desmond sequences of _Assassin's Creed Revelations_ , I was wondering how many are in each sequence? I found 2 in the first sequence and 1 (#4) in the second.


I went and interrogated one of my suspects before having all of the facts available to me, so missed out on a couple of questions that may or may not crack this case wide open. In this instance, I'm on the White Shoe Slaying case and the person I am wanting to re-interrogate is James Jessop. During my first interrogation, I returned straight to Central before following up on the Yellow Taxi lead, which reduced the number of questions that I could ask him and means I possibly missed some important information. After finding the Yellow Taxi, I went back to the holding cells but he won't talk to me. Is it possible to interrogate a suspect a second time?


title: How can I re-ask a question I got wrong?

text: LA Noire features a system where you interrogate suspects by asking them questions, and then either accepting what they say as truth, doubting them, or accusing them of lieing (which requires proof to back up your accusation). After each question has been asked, the question is crossed off in your notebook with either a tick (correct) or a cross (incorrect) next to it; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hJQ3J.jpg) Once you have asked a question, is it possible to re-ask it if you get it wrong? Are your choices in LA Noire final?

title: Is there a way to overcome the bug in "A New Source of Stalhrim" in PS3?

text: I can't start the quest "A New Source of Stalhrim" by talking to Deor Woodcutter (instead of giving me the quest he just says general things). The Unnoficial Elder Scroll Pages states that it's a bug that can be fixed in PC using the command line but I'm playing in PS3. Even worse: I was not aware of this bug until I tried to get the quest, so if I use an old saved game I'll have to restart eveything I did in Solstheim (and I just have killed Miraak - not to mention some other quests). Is there a way to overcome this bug in PS3?


title: Can I secretly kill every guard in a town?

text: Is it possible to kill all of the guards in a town? Ideally, I'd like to do this secretly so the entire town doesn't see my deeds and put a bounty on my head. **Edit:** I was questing in Markarth and was told by a guard to back off and stop being nosy. I didn't and when I went to the Shrine of Talos I was set upon by a bunch of guards. Now I have a huge bounty and I had to sneak/kill my way out of the city. Every time I killed a group of guards the bounty was reduced by $1000, but I still have a $30,000 bounty. I haven't even been through 1/3 of the city yet and know there has to be a lot of quests, so what do I do? The only solution seems to kill every single guard (and inhabitant).


title: Is there an indicator for already read books?

text: My inventory is full of books and I want to sell them asap. Alas, books and notes that are found in chests and bodies do not open automatically to be read. So often, when I loot, I often ask myself "What was the name of the note/book again?", scroll meters of inventory space, only to decide not to bother. Now I have multitudes of read and unread books and notes. Is there a way to tell them apart or am I doomed to open them all one by one again? (And yes, I do only care about the talent points. I don't actually want to read all those books. I am not _that_ insane.)

title: What are the implications of using mods in minecraft?

text: I'd like to install the Redpower mod, but every time that this comes to my mind I try to imagine the situation after I installed it and I feel like minecraft wouldn't be pure anymore, full or risks and bugs or will simply ruin my old save games or that my games started and saved with the mod will be not be compatible with a vanilla version of minecraft. I'm not gonna ask you if I should mod minecraft or not. I just want to ask:   * What happens internally to the minecraft application?   * What happens with the old saved games?   * What is the compatibility of modded saved games versus a vanilla minecraft installation?   * What else should I be aware of? Thanks.

title: How did I just build the Shootbanger in Dead Space 3 for zero cost?

text: I'm on my second play through of Dead Space 3 in normal difficulty, having used the New Game+ option. I was just at a workbench, and saw that the Shootbanger weapon was listed for zero tungsten, semiconductor and scrap metal cost. So I built it, and then its cost changed to 620/2450/3750 for those parts. What's that about? Did I earn some kind of perk that gave me a discount? I had recently spent some ration seals to purchase the Epic Resource pack, but I don't remember that saying anything about weapon discounts. If it matters, I'm in Chapter 7, at the Roanoke getting the parts for the flight recorder. I noticed that after getting the parts and going to the workbench to construct it, the Shootbanger cost is now down to 300/850/1350.


title: Is the only way to raise my Strength by drinking a potion of Strength?

text: As the title sugests, how else, if there is another way, can I raise my strength in Brogue?


title: A +1, 10 Strength Dagger, or a mundane, higher Strength weapon?

text: This question concerns Brogue. I can't remember what Strength each weapon requires to wield except daggers (10) and swords (14), but I'll make up an example. Say I have two weapons with me, a weapon that requires 12 Strength to wield and is +1, and one that requires 13 Strength but is mundane (+0). My question is, which one causes more damage? Is damage the only difference? Is there a chart or something that shows how each weapon differs from the rest, like a damage chart or something?


title: When should I stop auto-explore?

text: In Brogue, I like to auto-explore the first level, as it's always very easy and not really dangerous and stop when I get to the second level, exploring it on my own from there on, as auto-explore doesn't pick up all the items, will sometimes not attack sleeping enemies (free XP!) and will not kill Bloaters from a distance (which as you all know, spells out your DOOM in capital letters). Am I being too careful? How deep should I let it auto-explore? Should I even use auto-explore at all?

title: Why is Dead Space 3 using the webcam?

text: Whenever I start up Dead Space 3 it starts using my webcam. I have checked all of the settings menus inside of the game as well as Origin (which I am running it through) and cannot find any settings that use either the webcam or its microphone. I am sure that this is the program using the webcam as the "in use" indicator light turns off if I minimize the game. Where can I find the setting to disable this?


title: Are bosses guaranteed to drop two yellow items the first time I kill them on normal?

text: A comment here suggests that > Whenever you kill a boss for the first time (on normal difficulty only), it > is guaranteed to drop at least 2 rares: One general rare and one > specifically suited for your class Is this true? I'm fairly sure I didn't get anything but blues the first two times I killed the Skeleton King (although my friends got yellows), however the Spider Queen, the Butcher, and Maghda all dropped me two yellows. I can't remember if one was class-specific in all cases, however it was true in at least some cases. **Edit:** I've verified that the Skeleton King does not always drop two yellow items, and am trying to determine if **A)** this quote is correct, incorrect, or partially incorrect and **B)** if correct or partially correct, does this only apply to end-of-act bosses?

title: Graphics tweaks for Modern Warfare 2 on a mid-2009 Macbook Pro?

text: What are the highest levels that one could set the graphics settings for a bottom of the range mid-2009 Macbook Pro using bootcamp? I don't mind if they involve installing different drivers or tweaking other settings elsewhere, but after seeing MW2 running at high settings, I really can't go back to the lower end. I want to play multiplayer with said settings. Currently, I have got 4x anti-aliasing, texture, object and specular map resolutions are all at extra and all settings (except sync every frame) are on. However, the screen resolution is pretty low (800x600).

title: Why does Starcraft 2 keep telling me to lower the graphics settings or close other applications?

text: I'm running a (new) 2010 Macbook Pro with:   * A Core i7 2.66 Ghz Processor   * 8GB Ram    * NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Graphics Card Is it really possible that it can't handle the "high" graphics settings on Starcraft II? It's particularly confusing since I'm using all the "recommended" graphics settings - the game seems to _think_ my computer can handle it, but then while I"m playing, it'll pop up a message suggesting I turn down the settings or close other programs. It doesn't appear to just be a bad message - the game does seem to slow a bit right after it pops up. I've closed everything open in the dock, and disabled time capsule. Is there anything else I should be doing?


title: Is it possible to burn stacked production on industry conversion?

text: The Automatons' racial ability of stacked production lets them store up to 5 turns' worth (7, with research) of production on a system without having it go to waste. This is in addition to the standard 1 turn of overproduction that any race can hold. In most contexts in Endless Space, you can inefficiently convert industry into science or dust at a 33% conversion rate. Although this "wastes" a lot of potential, it can give you a momentary boost to dust or science, which can be tremendously useful when you're on a tight turn clock to get something done, e.g. during a war. By default, if you have stacked production as the Automatons, and you choose to convert industry into dust or science, it'll only burn what you produce that turn. Is there any way to tell the game to sell off your stacked production and convert it into dust or science? Even in our relatively primitive culture on Earth you see this kind of thing happen: stacked production could be something like spare parts, sheets of steel, oil or coal, etc. These things can quite easily be converted into "dust" (money) by simply selling them off. To convert them into science requires a bit more creative thinking, but one way I can envision to do that would be the case of, for example, the Manhattan Project, where many giant expensive magnets had to be purchased to build calutrons for uranium enrichment. Science experiments often do need "industrial" resources to build, as well; take the LHC for instance, which is a marvel of civil engineering as much as it is a marvel of science. Would be great if you could take stacked production from Automatons' worlds and sell it off for a quick burst of dust in a sticky situation (to support a diplomatic negotiation with dust to sweeten the pot, for instance).

Just to make it clear, I'm looking for an option, that would be easier than physically going to each machine to log in and authorize.


title: Why has the innkeeper put a price on my head?

text: So, I was just assaulted by a trio of fairly well armed thugs while walking out of Riften. Before attacking me, they informed me that they were 'here to teach me a lesson.' After dispatching them in due course, I found this on the body of what I can only assume to be the leader, given his vastly superior armaments: ![Bounty?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/TXuHt.jpg) Orgnar is the innkeeper in Riverwood. Now, I admit, I've stolen a fair amount, but I pride myself on having _never been caught_. My total bounty to date is at zero. So, how did he figure out that I stole something, why is he taking the law into his own hands, and if I go back to Riverwood, am I going to get shanked?

title: Will multiplayer games in Magic 2015 unlock cards?

text: In previous iterations of the Magic 20XX: Duels of the Planeswalkers games, victory in a multiplayer game (and a single player / campaign game) would reward you with an unlocked card for the deck you were playing. This made sense, as in previous iterations, players chose from a selection of pre-built decks (much like a purchased 'starter' deck in the tabletop game,) and could only increase available cards _for_ that deck by winning duels. Magic 2014's Sealed Play mode was an exception - you'd unlock booster packs, for use in your Sealed Play library which in turn was used to construct Sealed Play decks, which could only be played against other Sealed Play decks and not standard decks. Magic 2015 operates under a sort of hybrid format - you still start with a predefined deck, but it's customised in the style of Magic 2014's Sealed Play, i.e. completion of single player duels rewards you with a booster pack, which enters your card pool, out of which you customise your starting deck or create new ones. However, based on my experience thus far with multiplayer games in Magic 2015, there doesn't appear to be a tangible reward - when you win a match, you are returned to the main menu and recieve no notification of a booster or unlocked card. The only discussion I could find on the subject (on the Steam forums, via Google) was inconclusive; none of the reviews I've read have mentioned this. Are there any conditions (such as a certain stage of completion in the campaign) in which winning a multiplayer game will reward you with cards for your deck(s), or are single player campaign/explore duels now the **only** way in which cards can be unlocked?

I understand that you can copy games to a hard drive, or use the 'backup' utility. Does this require a dedicated USB mass storage device? Or will it function on a hard drive that has other data already on it? Will it format the device and dedicate it entirely to the PS3, or can it share the drive with other data?

I assume it's better for when I'm going to play more passive, but beyond that, what should I look for in terms of matchups? Edit: I suppose I'm looking for more general advice, depending on the composition of the enemy team.


title: I can't open my Minecraft maps even though they exist

text: I have something strange and cant figure it out by myself. I have 2 maps in my saves that I can't open. I have played on them, but one time they where gone so I searched for them in the Minecraft folder, and found them. There was nothing strange with them, so I don't really get it. Does anybody have an idea about what's wrong? And sorry for my bad English it isn't my first language :) Thanks all. edit-- Mrlemon is right, i found them in the map but cant open them in minecraft itself. i compare the 2 maps with one that i can open in minecraft (and see) but dont see a diffrents in between those ill show u guys some screen shots of it.

title: AMD Catalyst Control Center has stopped saving application profiles

text: I don't have the fanciest video card, so I usually create an application profile in the Control Center for games to increase or decrease quality depending on how taxing they are. However, as of this morning, all of a sudden all my application profiles were deleted, and furthermore I can no longer save new ones, which sucks because I would really like to get decent frames out of some games by using the tweaks in the control center! I'm running this on a laptop with a 6520G onboard card that duals with the discrete AMD 7670M, the machine is an Acer Aspire 7560G-7622 as found at http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.RWCAA.001. That should be irrelevant, though, as this sounds like a software issue with a software fix.


title: Why do ADCs always go for damage over armor?

text: Considering bot lane, it is customary for the ADC to build ONLY armor or armor pen while the support builds his gold income and sightstone. The idea behind this is for the ADC to be able to dish out as much damage as possible while depending on his support to keep him alive. I get this - it sounds reasonable. What if you beleive you can last-hit just fine, you want to be able to trade well against the enemy, perhaps even win a 2v2 or 1v1 engage? Obviously as ADC you also would like to stay alive during a full engage, making hp or armor/resist a wish. What it comes down to is prioritizing, i get that. I also get that everyone seem to prioritize building only damage. I just don't get WHY. Say you go back as adc with 875 gold, so does the other adc. One of them buys a pickaxe the other one buys a chainmail and health pots. Once back in the lane, the fighting starts to break out. Let's examine the following scenarios:   1. Only the two adcs are present (both supports still at shop or for some reason just recalled). 1v1   2. All four bot laners are back in lane. 2v2   3. Disengage and continue to farm and harass The defense adc can pop a potion just before the engage (chain mail being cheaper than pickaxe), effectly increasing hp as well. Let's also assume both teams target the enemy adc. The pickaxe adc will dish out more damage (+25) per hit, only to get it reduced by the armor (+40). The way i understand armor is, that each 1 point in armor is increasing (effectively) hp by 1%. Making the armor a +40% hp. I'm aware this only works for attack damage, meaning any magic or true damage will go though as normal. I'm aware the calculations are getting pretty hard now, so i'm gonna try and simplify it by assuming it's only a 1v1 adc/adc match. Also i'm assuming all damage from both sides is going to be pure physical since after all we are comparing a physical boost (+25 attack damage) to a physical defense (+40 armor). Let's also assume both adcs are caitlyn (honestly it's easier and also my lol assistant listed her as free this week, making it easy to one-click and read stats). Let's assume they are both level 5. (Effective) hp for damage adc: (390hp + (4 lvl * 80hp)) * (1 + (17armor + (4lvl * 3.5armor)) / 100) = 710hp * 1.31 = 930hp (Effective) hp for armor adc: (390hp + (4 lvl * 80hp)) * (1 + (17armor + (4lvl * 3.5armor) + 40 armor) / 100) = 710hp * 1.71 = 1214hp Giving the armor adc an extra (excluding the healing pots) 1214hp-930hp = 284hp (it's equivalent to 710hp*0.4armor - just wanted to make it clear that i was factoring it all in) Let's finish it up. 284hp/25 damage = 11,36 Without calculating the healing pots, the damage adc will win the engange if it lasts beyond 11 (atleast 12) auto attacks. That is a lot of auto attacks. Consider a normal fight - it should last less than that if you factor in the skills again (QWER) and also if you calculate the supports. Speaking of which. If supports are pure AD based, the favor obviously still swings towards the defense adc. If the supports are pure AP (kind of unrealistic since auto attacks should still be ad) then the formular still holds. The factor damage dealt/received by the two adcs would still favor the armor untill the 12 adc auto attack. Which will be even less likely since both supports are also focusing the adcs - making the engage last fewer turns. I'm fully aware all this will chance once you factor in ganks, bursts, etc. I just wanted to review a pretty common scenario. My calculations (if correct) shows that the early game would favor the armor adc - but i do understand the importance of building the Infinity Edge first. I just think getting the early kill(s) - if the armor adc succeed in capitalize on his advantage - probably would put you in a situation where you probably would still get there first, and this time also wearing a chain mail? **Am i missing something or are adc just blinded by a lust for more damage?** BTW, i main support, which is why i probably don't get the adc mindset...

title: Being reported for "Bad behaviour"?

text: I'm pretty new to GTA Online, I've only played it a few times, but I was wandering around my own house and suddenly got a notification that another player had reported me for "bad behaviour". I have no idea what this means, or how I got it. I don't have a microphone, I haven't sent any bad messages to people. I've never quit out of any missions early, either. I WAS continuously targeted by a player or two in the "Lobby" (i.e. the map), and every time I respawned they would attack me. But that was all fun. Eventually I got my revenge and blew them and their car up with a bomb. Sometime after that, I got "reported" by another player. I have no idea if it's related to my revenge or not. Is there any reason why I would be reported by another player? Can anyone tell me what this means in real terms?

title: Do enchantments or potion effects that 'Fortify <Magic School>' also affect charge cost of using staves?

text: I'm asking based on info from the UESP wiki's " **Staves** " article (emphasis mine): > Anyone can use a staff, regardless of magic skill, and using a staff does > not use any of the caster's own Magicka; instead, it depletes the staff's > charge. **However, the higher the user's skill level in the relevant magic > school, the lower the charge cost to use the staff.** Using staves does not > increase your skills, nor do staves benefit from higher skill levels, **with > the exception of lowering the cost per charge.** And from a loading screen message: > The charge level of a staff is based on the corresponding skill of the mage > wielding it. For example, a wizard with a high Destruction skill would get a > lot of uses from a Staff of Fireball. I'm wondering if 'Fortify < _magic school_ >' alchemy effects or enchantments (make spells cost less to cast), also could affect the charge cost of using a staff of the same magic school. For example, if I'm wearing a robe or armor like the Robes of Extreme Destruction or Vampire Armor of Extreme Destruction ( _Fortify Destruction, 22 pts; Enchantment description: Destruction spells cost 22% less to cast_ ) – will those apparel lessen the charge cost of using Destruction staves like the Staff of Fireballs or Staff of Ice Storms?

Sometimes they come back with cool items, sometimes with lots of money, other times with not much to show for it. How can I influence this towards better outcomes? I imagine sending them off for more days helps (I always choose the max. number of days, in case this is true). Other things that I imagine may help (though I actually have no evidence) are the level of the away team members, and maybe their job composition (perhaps thieves do better on salvage missions?). Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Internet say there is 20 escort (which mean 5 waves of backup), and the leader to take out if I want to take it out without killing. The problem is, as far as I am, I can t take more than 12 Fulton, which mean either kill the 8 escort remaining, or take them out while in the path of the tank so it crush them (ethically questionnable and quite hard to do for one, so for eight...). Either throwing and set support give me ammo and ration, but no additionnal Fulton, so... Is there any other way to take them out of the battlefield? Or get more Fulton?

title: What factors determine enemy levels? How do enemy levels scale to the player character's?

text: I finished Playthrough 1 at around Level 36. I noticed that the enemies I find are now very easy to kill, meaning they didn't level up (or hit a level cap). I decided to started Playthrough 2 to fight higher level enemies and play the DLCs. I went to Jakobs Cove ('The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned' DLC) and found out that the enemies are at least level 42. I couldn't even get to the first objective without being eaten by zombies. I noticed a similar thing in Playthrough 1 too: some missions and the enemies I encounter in those missions are of a higher level that what my current level is, making those missions a bit challenging until I level up. So, for each of the playthrough modes, what factors determine enemy levels? Specifically, I would like to know:   * I've played Borderlands 2 before Borderlands 1. How similar is Borderlands 2's enemy leveling system compared to Borderlands 1?   * Are enemy levels affected by what level a character accepted a mission? (Similar to Borderlands 2?)   * How does Playthrough 1, 2 and 2.5 affect enemy levels?    * Are there fixed enemy levels on specific areas or missions? What are the level requirements for an area or mission for each of the playthrough modes?    * Any enemy leveling differences specific to the DLCs areas or missions?

title: Do AI cars "cheat"?

text: When playing **Race Driver: Grid** , I've noticed that it can be very hard to completely shake the AI cars, they always seem to be able to catch up somehow. Now I'm far from the greatest driver, so at first I thought this was due to lack of skill on my part, but then I also noticed this happening on long straights (like the Mulsanne Straight in the 24 Hours of Le Mans) where I couldn't possibly be going any faster. Regardless of which car I'm driving, I can see competitors (including those driving the same type of car as me) visibly gaining on me, even if they spun out earlier and simply should not be able to catch up this quickly. And if I don't actively block them, they will eventually overtake me, which means they must have at least 20-30 km/h on me, even on long straights where I'm driving at full tilt in the exact same car. I've observed a similar effect in Touge events, where the AI drivers seem to be getting much faster times when competing against me, compared to against other AI drivers. The difference can be as high as 30 seconds, e.g. two AI drivers in the quarter final both finish around the 2:30 mark, the winner then races against me and inexplicably finishes around 2:00 like me. It seems completely unrealistic for a driver to have that much variation in his performance. Plus they never seem to do this when racing against another AI driver. So, does the AI in Grid cheat? Specifically, is the AI drivers' performance somehow scaled to match that of the player, in order to provide more of a challenge? If so, how is this affected by the difficulty setting? In case it matters, I'm playing on a PC with an Xbox 360 controller, mostly on Normal difficulty.


title: Parrying with the Monastery Scimitar

text: I am a noob. I played dark souls 2 for about 300 hours now. I've been trying to pvp and I found a lot of great ways of killing people. One thing that really fascinates me is parrying. I see a lot of very skilled people get parries really easily. Their skill and timing is unmatched. This inspired me to try my best to get good at parrying people. I grabbed the monastery scimitar and so far I have terrible results. if I press the button too early, I get stun locked and lose lots of health. If I press the button too late, the parry does not come out due to the fact that I am already stunned. It seems that every single person I fight seems to base their game play on poise breaking players and getting multiple hits. I don't understand what is wrong with me. I press the parry button as soon as they swing, yet I always get hit and poise broken no matter what. How do I use the monastery scimitar effectively?


title: How do I unlock more bonus worlds in Metal Slug Defense?

I already finished World 2 (hard mode) but do not have all POWs freed by now. Any ideas?


title: How do I goad a foreign power into attacking?

text: So I noticed once upon a time, while defending Jerusalem from a Jihad that I was getting a +75 vassal opinion bonus from defending in a holy war. This came in handy when my character died and was replaced by his son in the middle of said war. Instead of panicking about huge negative opinion vassals due to short reign or pretender status, I just carried on with the war with all my vassals content. It was a long bloody war and by the time it was finished my short reign negative was gone and I'd arranged for several "accidental" deaths. Later, while sieging my way through a militarily broken France on a conquest war the Muslims attacked again. While I did have to divert some of my armies, my vassals who were grumpy after such a long war in France, all of sudden were happy again. I could finish off France without threat of mass revolt back home while my split army combined with every other Christian nation who lept to my defence dealt with the jihadis. QUESTION is, as I quite LIKE it when the infidels attack, giving me a huge vassal opinion boost and thereby room to breath, is there any way to goad foreign powers into attacking you at a politically opportune time? Any way to insult them or perhaps fail assassinating them on purpose?

text: I'm trying to get Dolby Digital (DD) when playing Skyrim on my PC. I can successfully get DD to show up on my receiver (Onkyo 5.1) when playing a .MKV in VLC Player (and selecting SPDIF). However, I'm unable to get DD to show when playing Skyrim. I get sounds, but it's only Dolby Pro Logic. Is there a setting I am missing? I have a ASUS Xonar DG with an optical cable to my Onkyo receiver. I have a Radeon HD 6950, but I have the optical out set as my default audio device.


title: Does adding pages to the spellbook do anything?

text: For the Halloween 2013 event, TF2 added spellbook and spellbook page items. The pages can be added to the spellbook, and the book shows what pages have been added to it. However, I have not noticed any difference in using the spellbook after adding pages. So, what changes when I add pages?


title: Does renaming a pokemon to its original name count as a nickname?

text: Basically what I actually want to know is, if I rename a Pokémon to its original name and trade it, will the traded Pokémon evolve with its proper evolved Pokémon name or retain its "nickname"? For example, I catch an Ekans and nickname it _"Slithers"_. Later on I decide to trade it and want to remove my nickname in case people on GTS don't like it. I nickname it back to its original form's name with the exact spelling and capitalization, _"Ekans"_. When the other person receives my Pokémon and evolves it, will it become _"Arbok"_ or remain as _"Ekans"_?


title: Is there anything I can do about thieves in A Dark Room?

text: Some thieves seem to have moved into my village, and are stealing much of what I can gather each turn. I'm currently assuming that eventually I'll encounter an event that will allow me to deal with them, but it's frustrating. My question is this: **Is there some specific thing I need to actively do to get rid of them now, or will waiting eventually lead to some option for a resolution?** I'm assuming there's not some place outside the town I need to go address this, since there are none of the normal "nudges" that I ought to go wandering, plus the thieves steal too much for me to accumulate much cured meat.


title: How do I reset the difficulty for an instrument path?

text: In RockSmith 2014, I started by playing bass for a few days. The game quickly adapted to my skill level, becoming challenging but not frustrating. Then I switched to the lead guitar path, and was surprised to see a slew of unfamiliar chords thrown at me right off the bat. Apparently the game assumes that I must be as good with a six-string as I am with a bass! Is there some way to tell the game to ease up a bit, short of deleting my profile entirely? I know that I can adjust the difficulty of individual songs via Riff Repeater, but doing that for every song would be tedious.


title: How to Counter Ember Spirit and Legion Commander?

text: Can anyone help about countering Ember Spirit and Legion Commander with Slark?


title: What is the purpose of a "Hell bringer"?

text: This may seem like a dumb question, but I have seen in Act III objects that my (AI) mercinary will attack called `Hell Bringer`. I assume they summon some sort of enemy or enemies [by its title], but I have been practically touching one before and **nothing spawned near me.** What is their purpose and why does my friend want to attack them?


title: How far is too far?

text: I met this foe and I didn't get too close, then I throw a hydra at it, and realized it wasn't coming towards me, so I went on archon form and started punishing him with my pew pew laser beam, he still never came to me, and so he died. ![Screenshot of situation](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NeVcf.jpg) _Enlarge_ What is the range of "awareness" of monsters, and what is the maximum range of ranged spells like placing a hydra somewhere, or the archon's beam power? By the way the templar was hitting him while Leah just stood by my side.

title: In APB Reloaded, how do I earn virtual currency (other than paying real money) and buy upgrades?

text: I need to know how to upgrade weapons, armor, etc. I tried searching google and their website, but all I can find is how to buy upgrades. I want to know how I gain money in the game and how to purchase weapons.

title: Is there any difference between buying Frozen Synapse: Red on Steam or the developer site?

text: I already own Frozen Synapse the base game on Steam, and with the newly released DLC Frozen Synapse: RED I wonder whether to buy it on Steam, or pick it up directly at the website of the developer. Is there a difference between the two shops (content or price wise)?

title: Can you keep Bethany after Act 1?

text: In Dragon Age 2, is there any way to keep your sister Bethany as a companion in the second and third act? > I took her with me into the Deep Roads and she died. If you leave at home or > send her to the circle, will you be able to have her on the team later? I would really like to keep her because I used her permanently as healer and supporter. Anders can replace her quite good, but to be honest: He is annoying and whiny. ;)
