title: Are there any server commands to despawn neutral mobs in Minecraft 1.6.4?

text: After a rather too succesful experiment with an infinite villager spawner in Minecraft 1.6.4, our server is now overrun by masses (hundreds, if not thousands) of villagers. Is there a server command, or other simple solution, for despawning such a huge number of mobs? Since they are neutral/friendly, switching to Peaceful mode is not an option. They are in a sealed off room I can't get close to (due to a literal 0.1 FPS around the zone), so using TNT or Lava isn't exactly possible either.


title: How do i get rid of lots of horses?

text: In _Minecraft_ , my friend built a horse spawning system to get many horses of one color. When he was done, there were a lot of excess horses which are now roaming my land. The horses are causing frame rate issues, lowering my FPS. The horses are spread out across the land. Is there a way that I can get rid of all the horses, without killing the horses I have in my stable? In case anyone needs visuals on what the land looks like: ![Horses](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VYAtv.png)


title: How Can I Butcher Animals en Masse?

text: So, my friend just implemented a bunch of new mods into his SMP server, which meant a host of new commands to play with.

So I headed off to the server's jail (I forget why this particular location compelled me), and gave it a few spins. * * * ## I seem to have made a bit of an error in judgement.    ![About 60 assorted pigs, cows, and chickens crammed into a small enclosed space](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wjNQ1.png) What can I do to get rid of this mess? Is there a command or some other technique I can use to clear out any mobs in my immediate vicinity?

title: Finn's Lute bug; Converting Xbox 360 save to PC to resolve

text: Playing Skyrim on Xbox 360. Ran into the Finn's Lute bug. To resolve this, I'm thinking about taking my Xbox 360 save game file, converting it to a PC save game, entering in the PC console code: `setstage BardsCollegeLute 40`, then converting back to an Xbox 360 save game. Has anyone done this? Would anyone advise against this? Related posts/articles:   * How do I get rid of Finn's Lute?   * http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Finn%27s_Lute   * http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/copy-convert-your-skyrim-game-save-from-xbox-360-your-pc-0132217/   * Convert save game to a different platform Note: I recognize that this process may be similar with another game, such as Mass Effect 3, but it's not the same. Similar, but not the same. This question has multiple elements:   * Can the saved game be successfully converted from Xbox 360 to PC?   * Can the saved game be successfully modified using the console code?   * Can the successfully modified game be converted back to Xbox 360, with changes intact? Thus, I do not believe this question is duplicate. Though, I appreciate the chance to explain the question further.

title: Increase probability of lava lakes spawning in a superflat world

text: So, I'm making a nether map that involves the use of superflat world presets. The ground is completely netherrack, and there are lava lakes spread across the map. I'm running into a problem though, the lava lakes don't spawn often enough for me and I want them to be more common. Here's the base preset I'm working off.               2;1x7,30x87;8;lava_lake      Now, this just creates a superflat world with lava lakes here and there, not that common. Now, here are a few things I tried to make lava lakes more common.               2;1x7,30x87;8;lava_lake(chance=100)     2;1x7,30x87;8;lava_lake(size=10 distance=0)      None of these seemed to increase the probability of a lava lake spawning. So, how can I increase the probability of lava lakes spawning?


title: Search for item across characters on WoW account

text: Is there a way to search across all your characters to see if you have an item on a character, be it learned, in the bank or in inventory? I'm just curious as since I've started playing WoW again I noticed a lot of items have been removed from the game. There's a couple I'd like to search across all the characters I've made since vanilla WoW to see if I possibly have them. It's a bit of a pain to log onto each character, especially a few of my lower leveled ones I made for a weekend but then left alone, to check their bank and I know I'll probably skip over some items when searching their bags (I constantly misplace items on my main in their bags!). I'm fine with a mod as well if there is no real solution via Blizzard. Worst case scenario I wouldn't mind logging onto each character just so a mod could "read" or "scan" my character for items and then I could somehow search from the mod.

title: Mac Full Screen Gaming

text: I recently bought a Macbook Pro and would like to use it for occasional gaming on the go. The problem I have is that when games are in full screen, I'm not sure how to switch to anything else. Mostly what I will end up playing is Starcraft 2, which I could run in a window, however if you use the top edge the Mac Toolbar comes up and gets in the way. Essentially what I'm asking is, is there a way to run games full screen but be able to switch to other apps without closing the game. I can run Windows 7 on it for games, but it would be nice not to have to switch to a different OS.

title: Best Way to Get a backpack Expander in TF2

text: My backpack is constantly filling up. This requires me to turn items into scrap that I wanted to save or even throw items away. I researched online and found that there is a Team Fortress 2 item called the backpack expander which increases the capacity of your backpack. That is great, but I cannot find out where to get it except for the Mann Co. Store. I would rather not pay for it, but whenever I join a trade server or pub I cannot find anyone who has it. Does anyone know how to craft this item? I'm afraid the answer might be that it is un-craftable. If that is the case, does anyone have a good strategy on how to join a trade server that is likely to have the item you are looking for? Open to other suggestions as well for locating and obtaining specific items.

title: How can I teleport only certain people in Minecraft

text: I want to make a teleport command with command blocks that allows only people with certain names to teleport. So basicly its an admin only button and if your name isnt on one of the command blocks you cant teleport, it would also check if the player was in a radius of two blocks. What I have tried is `/tp <player name>[r=2] <coords here>` and `/tp @p[name=<player name>,r=2] <coords here>` and neither have worked. Is this possible? edit: The problem I'm having after further experimenting with the same code is when I use the `<player name>` to teleport it grabs the right person but it teleports them from anywhere no matter the person who steps on it because the radius doesn't seem to work. and with the other code that uses the `@p` variable it has the radius right but I can set the `name` property to no one on the server and it still teleports the closest person (it seems to teleport the closest person if it cant find the name, when I want it to teleport nothing if the name is not found). Maybe I need to add some redstone but I don't know if that would help.

title: Lot no longer has a pool; Sims still want to swim, get stuck in loop

text: My current household used to contain a swimming pool on a third floor balcony. Since I've recently installed Sims 3 Ambitions, the pool had to go to make room for a laundry room. ![Washer](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Siai8.png) Every now and then one of the Sims on the lot gets stuck in a loop, however, adding the " **Swim** " action to their queue. The icon immediately disappears because there is obviously no route to the pool, leaving the Sim in question to mumble something random or do some stretches before repeating the attempt at finding the pool. Usually this will continue until I manually interrupt the Sim, or until one of their _other_ needs takes precedence. ![Swim](http://i.stack.imgur.com/DqSSM.png) Is this a known issue? Is there an easy fix?   I'm running version 1.22.9. What I've tried so far:   * Restarting the game   * Clearing the caches   * Creating a new pool elsewhere on the lot   * Building a new pool on the same spot at the deleted pool   * Deleting all floor tiles where the pool used to be

Ok, in this question I am obviously asking for _SPOILERS_ , so be warned. I recently finished playing Venetica, and I really enjoyed the game. However, it seemed to me that I messed up the final confrontation with the heroine's brother Leon in the Doge Palace. Once the fight started, I lost sight of him. When I had finished the guards, he wasn't in the room anymore, neither alive nor as body. Also, he is never mentioned again for the rest of the game. So my questions are: What exactly happens to Leon at the end of Venetica? Are there even multiple outcomes? What are the player's possibilities to influence Leon's fate?

Was there a recent change in how immigration works? What could have caused this? The only things I've done between the waves is fairly normal stuff: digging straight downwards without finding anything, mining out some hematite, butcher some animals, trade small amounts with the caravan, and dig a lava moat out of the volcano.


title: Are companions able to teleport to the player?

text: Since I started playing KH1 I noticed that the companions are actually pretty good about following you and keeping up. I was surprised, because I noticed (when looking at them anyway) they would climb over obstacles, jump, swim, or whatever the environment happens to be, since the game is so old (2002 I think) I figured that there the my AI counterparts would have some path finding problems, but thankfully I was incorrect.. I know that if you enter through a door (or a loading point) the companion(s) will be with you no matter what, I assume this is to avoid issues. I also noticed that companions will not use vines in the Jungle either. Please include the following information:   * Are companions able teleport to the player   * Assuming the question above is yes, how far away do you need to be for them to teleport?   * Will companions try to manually get to to you, before attempting to teleport?   * Will the companions teleport while you can see them or will they attempt to be discrete?  6/27/2013 @6:41PM - I also think it is worth noting that there isn't really any documentation on their AI except some vague descriptions.

title: How can I stop the AI great prophet from running around my cities forever? (Civ5)

text: Let's say I have two cities with one inquisitor and one unit blocking the road between the cities. In theory, if the two cities are far apart enough, the AI great prophet shouldn't be able to convert either city because it has to leave the road at some point and that's when I move my inquisitor from one city to the other. However, the AI doesn't seem to realize this and the great prophet never gives up and keeps running around my two cities forever (until I slip up). Is there a way to stop this behavior besides DoW? It's a little annoying to have to deal with the great prophet every turn until endgame. I know that the great prophet will leave if I have an inquisitor in every city but I think that seems a little excessive. Also, in general, the great prophet seems to know which of my cities have inquisitors stationed (pre-spy). The unit itself has a very limited sight range. Is this a bug or is it an intended map hack?

title: Companion apps, sites and applications for Ingress

text: I've noticed quite a few companion apps in the Google Play store, but I am naturally terrified that I'll miss out on some essential tool and loose an edge ;) How would you go about finding good companion apps (phone), applications (pc/mac) or sites/webapps for Ingress?


title: Is there a way to stop bosses resetting health when you die?

text: I play solo since I don't have any friends to play with. When I played it on the PS3 if I died I would find the boss had recovered their health meaning at times I would have to use trickery and exploits to make fights easier (ie. shooting at cars with a rocket launcher before going over a ramp, hiding under shelter and sniping Mothrak, getting one of Nine-Toes Skags to just stand there and yell and not come after me, using the Scorpio as a decoy). One of my pet peeves with the final boss was how it's "stages" would reveal the more damage you did to it, getting it down to 3/4's it had all it's tentacles out but then I died, I came back and lo and behold it had all of them and had full health so I was being attacked even more than I was the first time. Now I just got this on PC, likewise I don't have any friends and my PC doesn't connect to the internet so unless I go to a lan party (which is like never) I'll be going though this on my own. So far employing the same tricks as my play though on PS3 is working (glitching Nine-toes Skags, sniping all the skags around Scar) but I am wondering; is there a way to prevent Bosses recovering all their health when I die? NOTE: I mainly ask for PC since I did get the game for PC as well for the sake of keeping my dad off my PS3

title: Call Of Duty Map

text: I was playing Call of Duty in multiplayer for more than 4 years. When was in undergrad, I was using a particular map which has a two-storyed building with stairs inside and outside the building. There is a large courtyard surrounding the building with a high wall. I can't recollect the map's name. It is ideal for 4-6 players. If anyone know the map's name, please tell me. Thanks.

title: How can I tell if I a weapon has been modded?

text: I was recently playing Borderlands online and was given a really great Pearlescent Serpens Assault Rifle by someone who was much higher level (at the time). I'd not seen any Pearlescent guns before so was rather excited - I snatched it up and began systematically annihilating all of Pandora's wildlife. It's a great gun, very powerful and quite accurate, which made me wonder if I'm unknowingly using a modded weapon. I looked up the Serpens rifles online and found that mine seems to be of above average awesomeness. In particular, it fires 3 rounds at once. In any case, whether this particular weapon is modded or not, is there a way to tell which weapons are modded and which are not?


title: How can I play with local teammate on PC?

text: Is there a way to play **Two Headed gigant** in Magic 2014 with a **local teammate** against remote opponents? We are sitting in front of a PC with my friend and we would like to play with guys from the internet. When I create a game and select "Play with local teammate" I get: "magic 2014 at least one controller is required" What does it mean? Is that even possible on PC? Do I need to connect another mouse or something?


title: Does the steed stone boost sneaking?

text: The steed stone seems to make any piece of armor I wear weight 0 (i.e. not added to my encumbrance value). Since sneaking is based on how heavy the armor I'm wearing is, will having the steed bonus make my armor no longer penalized for sneaking?


title: More than 4 players in Terrorist Hunt and Campaign?

title: My player - View roster?

text: I feel a bit stupid for asking this, but how do I view the rosters of other teams in NBA 2k14 My player mode? I can take a look at the roster of my team but I can't cycle through any other team. I thought I went through everything but didn't have any luck. Surely I'm overlooking something?


title: What triggers Exploding Palm explosions?

text: I very rarely use this skill, because it doesn't seem very good, but it occurred to me that I might have been misunderstanding how the explosion works. Does it matter if the target dies from bleed damage, or will they explode even if I put Exploding Palm on them and then punch them to death? I've generally been Palming one and then punching another, as it seems more efficient, but if this is the case should I focus on one (presumably the highest HP) monster?


title: Do a templar's healing skills ever trump the healing effects of magic gear?

text: The templar has a few skills that are healing vs. pulling aggro or damage. Will the effects of the templar's healing skills ever be of such importance that they eliminate the need for magic items with regeneration effects? Or is it more effective to optimize the templar for his distraction and crowd control potential?

title: Is Borderlands progress saved in LAN games?

text: When playing Borderlands on PC/Steam via LAN (two people) is the mission progress saved as if you were playing a single player game?

Even being able to shut the game and PC down when I am done, and resuming where we left off?

title: A strategy for Nethack progress?

text: I've been playing Nethack for years but don't get anywhere near the end for one reason or another. I'm experienced enough to not eat old corpses, wear cursed items or pick the wrong fight, but what I don't know is how quick to move down. I can empty Sokoban and all the Mines but I'm never powerful enough by the time I reach the Quest level and end up dying to something trivial while trying. Should I just keep running about killing wandering monsters until I feel strong/equipped enough for lower levels?

title: Is increased movement speed required for higher difficulty levels?

text: Boots have increased movement speed on them as one of their possible affixes, and there are also a few skills that increase movement speed. Does this become more important in later difficulties, especially when elites have three or four abilities that drop area effects everywhere? More importantly, is it possible to survive Inferno without any increased movement speed at all, whether playing a melee or ranged class?


title: Gun lost in Battlefield 3

text: I am playing the multiplayer online on the Xbox. I unlocked a sniper rifle I really like, then when I went back to play the next round the gun I unlocked was gone. I did not pick the gun up off of anybody. I unlocked it when I was promoted. Where did my gun go and how can I get it for each round I play? Will it keep disappearing for one game then show up again for the next?


title: Desura pre-installed game activation wrong harrdive?

text: I've been attempting to activate pre-installed games on Desura, which is possible in the application - there is a problem, though. Apparently it doesn't register the games you have installed on your other Harddrives. For example; Games on my D: drive aren't being detected, only games installed on my C: drive are detected by Desura. The problem with this, is that if I wanted to download mods for my pre- installed Amnesia, I can't as Desura doesn't register that I already own and have already paid for Amnesia. Anyone know of this issue?

text: In this LEGO Batman 2 'Destination Metropolis' walkthrough you can set at 7:51 a guy jumps down, gets into the aircraft and takes off. When I'm playing, the guy doesn't get into the aircraft, thus blocking me from completing the level. I can't attack the guy, or the aircraft. What do I need to do to get the aircraft up in the air?


title: What's the most efficient way to score up?

text: I'm pretty confused about this game (I'm playing it on Steam, Oculus version, if that's of any importance): what's the best way to get points ? Should I activate as many structures as I can ? Or should I rather try to stick as long as possible to their surface (which makes a little sound, like an increasing counter) ? Is it possible to display the score while falling ? That would make it a lot clearer...


title: Can a furnace light things on fire?

text: I have a room where the 1-block-thick roof is covered in furnaces as combination cheap blast protection from creepers above and fast processing for ores/glass etc. I'm considering doing some floor-to-ceiling wool block patterns, but this would jut the wool up against some furnaces and I need to make sure I won't be setting my room ablaze. **Can furnaces light things on fire, particularly wool?** I'm inclined to believe not but I'd like to know for sure before risking it.


title: More agony resistance from infusions

text: With Fine Infusions such as as Precise Infusion, you just double-click it and apply to the ascended ring, right? However, can you add more infusions to the infused ring which results to +10 AR (+5 & +5)? Is it possible? I'm asking this because I'm wondering how people got 40+ etc. AR. How can I get more agony resistance? Is there a maximum AR for each accessory?


title: How can I add one title on a scoreboard with two teams?

text: ![porvmel](http://i.stack.imgur.com/J275b.png) I am still working on the mini game where you kill the other team's leader, then you win. The problem is with the scoreboard. I added two teams, red and blue. The objective is `stat.killEntity.Ozelot`, so when you kill an ocelot, you get a point, then you win. The problem is when I add them, the title (white letters) always says blue. Can I set it to says stat? But then I can't add both teams; I can't have two stats.

No horses, painted deserts, or nary a new flower anywhere to be seen. Is there a way to update my world map so that it'll include the new stuff into it? I'm playing single player locally. Thanks!

title: What if I don't kill the Enthralled Wizards during the Morokei quest?

text: I'm searching for the Staff of Magnus. I seem to have found it, because I've walked into a room with a guy trapped in a barrier by two Enthralled Wizards. Not being a total idiot, I decided to poke around a bit before doing anything rash. I was able to sneak around to the exit door and get a cutscene from Savos explaining who the Enthralled Wizards are. Great, now I know a little bit more, at least. The wizards are holding back something big, scary, and evil. I attempted to pickpocket the wizards, just to see what would happen. Turns out when you pickpocket them, they stop casting. Which means Morokei becomes free yet non-hostile and the wizards are both alive. Morokei passively stood there while I killed him. It wasn't even a battle, it was like slaughtering an unresistant lamb. So now I've got the Staff of Magnus. **Did I break the rest of the quest? Will there be problems later on with events not being triggered because of this?**

title: PS3 audio & speakers issue

text: PS3 connected to PC line in via 3.5 mm male to female RCA adapter. Using the Creative M2600 speaker set I have to always have to switch on my pc to get sound for my Ps3. I want to eliminate this. Is there a significant degrading of sound when using these audio splitter adapters as above? I tried plugging in the 3.5 mm adapter with PS3 connected RCA inputs directly into my speakers input at the back. ( removed the green cable) but when PS3 switched on sound was really loud and volume slider on speakers controller box, did not seem to work now. Was only one set volume for ps3. Will this have damaged my ps3 or speakers? From what I can gather so far is that people recommend getting a 3.5 mm female to 2x rca female input cable and then just plug the speaker cable into that and all will be good? Is that right? Any advice and help will greatly be appreciated.


title: Do Counter Attack increases transfer over during transmigration

text: in Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, at a certain rank you can get the Dark Assembly to increase the number of counter attacks a character has if i create a new character and spend all that mana to increase their counter attacks, when i transmigrate them would those counter attacks carry over (ie, a warrior has 2 counter attacks and is transmigrated to a mage who if created anew, has 0 counter attacks), if so, are they affected by the inheritance rate

title: How does Wall Breaker aggro work and how do I build "lure" walls effectively?

text: Like all units, Wall Breakers choose the nearest "preferred" target, in this case walls. Since you don't have direct control of any units, **_nearest_** is determined by some type of aggro algorithm. At first I thought they just walked in a straight line to the nearest wall, which makes wall building fairly straightforward. As I've risen in the ranks I've seen more exotic wall designs, which are clearly designed to "lure" Wall Breakers away from the main defensive walls. When this is done correctly it makes Wall Breakers almost useless, because it would take way too many to clear out the "lure" walls. I'd love to use this strategy myself, but I'd like to get it right on the first try. So how exactly does Wall Breaker aggro work, and what patterns can I use to effectively build "lure" walls.


title: How to switch off automatic system and app updates?

text: I'm fine with updates in general, getting rid of bugs is fine after all, but when I just want to quickly play a short game in my break while the OUYA determines there is an update and applies it without any chance of intervention, this is rather annoying. The same applies to the game itself - once an update is available, I cannot start it until the update was applied. So > How to change the update behaviour such that I only get a notification about > updates being available, while manually choosing _when_ to apply them? Hint: I know I could detach the OUYA from the internet, but a) using WLAN this means I have to either switch the OUYA WLAN off/on manually or kill my WLAN router and b) an available update shouldn't prevent me from using apps that _do_ require internet access, e.g. the web browser


title: Which other units should I use with my hero in a raid for maximum effectiveness?

text: The introduction of heroes to the game adds several new elements to consider strategically. It seems that when they are used correctly, they can really tear the place up, but when raiding I often see my hero get overwhelmed in a matter of seconds, by defenses I think he should beat. What am I doing wrong?

title: Civ 5 mods not working on Mac

text: I'm trying to use a byzantine mod in Civilization 5 on my Mac (Mountain Lion), but when I put the mod's folder in `~/Documents/Aspyr/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/MODS`, it doesn't sho up in the mod menu. I already have the game set up so I can see `Mods` in the opening screen, but the mods don't show up in installed mods or downloads. EDIT I tried it with two different file types, an unarchived .civ5mod file and an unarchived zip file. With the unarchived .civ5mod file, it worked, and the folder only contained 2 files, a .lua and .modinfo. The other one, that didn't work, had a folder in it called XML, and then multiple subfolders, i.e. Civilizations, Buildings ... I want to use those mods, but cannot use it with the subfolders. How would I use those mods? Heres the link to one of the mods. here

title: What is the difference in APM calculation between WoL and HotS?

text: According to the WoL observer APM counter, I hovered around 90-100 APM when I was at my peak a year ago. Since then I made a long break, and now with HotS I did some matches against the AI to check out the new stuff and was very surprised to see my APM average go to 130 even though I just fooled around and didn't focus at all. At first I thought, "Ok, maybe they switched to real-time APM", but even with 30% more it can't be as high as the APM counter showsm since I was clearly not playing that fast. I know APM is worthless, and I don't actually care. I just wanted to see how much I slowed down in the year that I didn't ladder at all and was extremely surprised that HotS told me I got 30-40% faster, which is impossible. So where is the difference? What counts now that didn't count before? UPDATE:   It's clearly not just a conversion to real-time APM, the difference is far too huge. After some warming up I now easily reach 150+ APM in HotS where I had to really focus hard to even reach 90-100 APM in WoL.

title: What's the deal with these mysterious Ingredient items?

text: When I'm grinding away in dungeons, I sometimes pick up these items shaped like mushrooms, labeled with a giant question mark and the name "Ingredient". These end up taking up a lot of space in my preciously small loot bag, and as far as I can tell I don't end up actually taking them back with me when the dungeon ends. My best guess is that these are items that I can't identify until either my Merchant or Adventurer level is high enough. Am I correct? Was this something explained in the tutorial that I kind of glossed over...? :( What are these Ingredient items?

text: In Recettear, I'm slightly confused about how building up a "chain" of monster kills works. At first I thought it was determined by the amount of time I take in between each kill, but this doesn't seem to actually matter. It doesn't seem to be based on whether or not I take damage, either. How do I increase my kill chain? Are there even any rewards for increasing it or is this mechanic just for aesthetics?

title: PC hangs for 1 second, every 30 seconds, while playing TF2. Does not occur with newer games

text: Last week I bought a new PC with these specs:   * Mem: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K4/16GX   * CPU: Intel Core I5 2500K Boxed   * MoBo: Asus ROG Maximus IV GENE-Z   * GPU: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC   * Disk: 256GB Crucial C300 on SATA-600 port.   * Monitor: Dell U2711 2560*1440 I already have the disk for a year and it always worked perfectly. I installed Win 7 + the 150+ updates that go with it. Installed drivers for MoBo and GPU from the disk that came with it + updated GPU drivers to latest. Ran FutureMark benchmark and 3DMark Vantage yielding expected results. Installed and played Mass Effect 2 and Anno 2060 with no problems at all. These recent games run super smooth. Installed steam and started the 10 GB download of Team Fortress 2, which is quite old and ran perfect on my previous 2 generations of computers. Hence my surprise to see it hang for a second about each 30 seconds, making the game unplayable. There is a huge amount of things that I can attempt to narrow down the problem. **I don't know where to start** and what would be **the most plausible cause**. => I was hoping some advice on what to google for and what I can easily try to quickly narrow down the root cause.

title: Solo Leveling a Huntress

text: I'm currently just starting the game and leveling a Huntress. She is 31 at the moment. What are some good places to farm XP? I can do Insane difficulty Deeper Well but it is somewhat boring doing run after run, so I would like to know other dungeons that yield good XP but are a little more challenging and engaging. I have completed Alchemy Lab on Hard alone which was a a lot of fun, but quite a lot of time invested for not as much XP as I could get while doing Deeper Well runs. This will have to be done solo so I'm not looking for the power leveling in ramparts with a lvl 70 friend. I'm looking for the level with the moderate to best bang for my buck for XP but still pretty fun. If Deeper Well is my best bet, what would be my second option, assuming it is more entertaining.

text: This has happened to me various times but its kinda fuzzy as I can't find anything official on it. Lets say you tank a turret with a teammate so you think you're gonna kill the turret in time before you die but then you realize you won't make it in time so you decide to run away or even flash out if the timing of the game is crucial and you really don't want to die. You are only one hit and right before you flash the turret fires a missile which of course follows you to wherever you flashed. But before the missile lands on you and kills you, your teammate manages to kill the turret and when the missile hits you it makes no damage. Now the same of course has happened to me with champion skills. For example I've killed a leblanc but she had already thrown her Q on me and it killed me even though it landed after she died. Or a nunu snowball or any other locked spell with a short delay. I'm pretty certain you can't get damage from turrets if they get destroyed in the meantime but as I said I can't find anything official. Can someone confirm this or point to a link stating it? I've always wondered :) Here is the wiki about turrets where nothing related is mentioned. EDIT: I'll use a picture to make it even more clear. If the turret in the picture was destroyed at that exact moment blitzcrank would take no damage from the purple missile heading towards him :) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mBrmX.jpg)


title: Mount blade smaller map

text: Is there any way to spawn in a smaller battle map? It takes like 5 minutes of walking to start the battle. A mod that makes maps smaller would be great.


title: Repeating special jobs at the Thieves Guild

text: the Special Jobs given by Delvin have been appearing in the dialogue options as *"I have completed the **___** job"* (the underscore is where one of the 5 cities names appears ). It shows this 5 times with all the cities that have the special jobs. When i choose one of the 5 options (or 4, I cant really recall), it goes through with the dialogue for completing the mission, and the last dialogue part for completing the last special mission (Along the lines of _"You can hold your Head up high when your around here..."_ ) Then I receive payment and that's that. It does this for the other 4 options as well. Additionally, it repeats after a few ingame days. I am utterly stumped on what to do and I would appreciate if I could get a detailed response on how to solve this.


title: The bonus artifacts don't show up in Tunnels and Troglodytes (Liberation campaign)

text: I'm playing through Heroes 3's campaigns and on the previous scenario I had 2 pieces of **Charm of Mana** and a **Pendant of Life** on my main hero at the end. I explored the map, acquired all items but I was not able to get past a border guard at the bottom right corner (he wanted **The Speculum** ). The artifacts mentioned above however are rewards beyond previous border guards so I don't get it. Why don't they appear when I progress onto the next scenario? And where can I find the **Speculum**?


title: Is there a spell that can be added to a bow that allows instant death on stealth attacks

text: I'm thinking of starting a new game in the last 3 Elder Scrolls games and thinking of doing something like an assassin this time round. I would rather do the whole assassin thing properly and get my targets with a bow rather than getting a huge sword and charging in head on, however my experience with bows in The Elder Scrolls is that you only gain a damage bonus from sneak attacks. I would rather do a sneak attack with a bow and know that if it hits, it will kill the target. So is there any spell I can add to a bow to cause instant death to enemies, or even if it has some adverse affect that would be the equivalent?


title: How can I reassign my gem skills?

text: As a Marauder, I have picked up a few skills through quests that are weapon dependent. Unfortunately, some of them require mutually exclusive weapons (e.g. Glacial Hammer requires blunt weapons and Cleave requires edged weapons). This means that every time I upgrade to a new weapon, if the weapon type changes, I may wind up with skills that I can't use. At this point, I have more skills than actually fit in the automatically assigned keys (mouse scroll button, mouse right button, q, w, e, r t). I'd like to be able to remove the skills that aren't currently enabled (i.e. cleave when I'm using a mace), while still leaving them socketed so they'll continue to level up. I'd also like to be able to reassign the keys to put them on more convenient hotkeys, yet I have a hard time doing this (I've had to resort to a trial-and- error process of swapping in and out unwanted skills to prevent other skills from automatically assigning to the "wrong" spot). Is there a way to simply assign skills to specific hotkeys?


title: Is there any way to delete notifications?

text: I can't seem to find a way at all, and I'm wondering if I'm just missing something or if this is just plain not possible. I know that you can turn off receiving notifications for individual games/apps, but I _do_ want to keep receiving the notifications. I just want a way to delete the old ones when I've read them. Is there any way to do this or some other workaround to make them go away that doesn't involve turning off receiving them entirely from various games?


title: Holy priest professions for the most beneficial self applied stat boosts

text: Typically elitist jerks will cover professions that are best for a particular spec/class and by best, this is not a matter of opinion, best here is defined as the benefits the individual gets from mastering a profession such as being able to use +67 agility gems that my combat rogue is able to make from being a jewel crafter. My priest is in holy spec. I'm curious if anyone knows offhand what professions will allow me to maximize critical stats if I go ahead and take the time to master them?


title: How to kill Blackthorn?

text: Killing Blackthorn on the Gunship seems to be the most hectic and the most troublesome for everyone I have raided with this far. What are all the mechanics in detail and how do we deal with all these things to create the most stress-free and easy kill?


title: How do I change the center of view in Sword of the Stars in tactical (real-time combat) mode?

text: Several years ago when I played this game on Windows XP there was a simple way to do this, but I don't recall exactly how. I think just double-left-click on the desired center-point did the trick. (That works during in strategic mode.) I'm now playing this great classic on Windows 7. Everything seems to work fine, except for this one thing, and I wondering if maybe I'm overlooking something. The problem is that in tactical mode the center-point defaults to the first ship in the formation. This would be fine, but unfortunately this is also the first ship that usually gets destroyed. So, it becomes a real pain to change the view around and direct combat actions.


title: How do I make a monster spawner?

text: In one of the Terraria dev blog posts it was shown that it would be possible to create mob spawners in Terraria 1.1. Naturally, now I want to create my own. What materials do I need to collect? How do I create a device for spawning enemies using the new mechanics system in Terraria?


title: Is it possible to kill Cicero before the DarkBrotherhood questline?

text: I know you can find Cicero outside a farm on a road with the night mothers coffin, but is it possible to kill him? And if so would that screw up the DB questline?


title: Can I have multiple ambitions?

text: I've not played any Ambition since the beginning due: > Once you've picked an Ambition, it is very hard to change it. Choose > carefully! This means that I lost the opportunity of getting another Ambition through the entire gameplay? Is the only way of changing Ambitions even after completed using the Nethean Tea Leaves?


title: Who is the announcer in League of Legends?

text: I wonder, Who is the announcer of league of legends? I don't mean it's place in the storyline/lore (I don't think there's a lot to know there, it's not like the Team Fortress 2 announcer) What I mean is who is the voice actor. Is it someone professional or someone from riot that does a lot more than just the voice actor? I'm curious.


title: Use the bandage automatically when I got shot?

text: Can anyone write a macro or is there any setting to do this automatically ? I want to use the bandage automatically, when you got shot in UT4.1, I run Linux, so hot key software for Windows won't help.


title: What do the Skull and Crossbones icons over the heads mean?

text: ![Screenshot of an elite and minions with skull and crossbones icons over their heads](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pDgjx.jpg) We have run across this skull and crossbones icon over a few enemies in Hell difficulty and we don't really know what it is. It doesn't appear to be consistent with effect names on elites. I did notice my character had a debuff in the screenshot (didn't notice it in game) and also has the skull and crossbones over his head. So what is this thing and what effects does it have on the monsters and the players?


How much storage does a tent have in DayZ? What happens if I try to put things in when its full?


title: Where is Braev in the other worlds?

text: In the first world, you fight Braev the templar alright. But in all the other worlds, I couldn't find him. Perhaps it is because I skipped most of the side events, but as a minimum I did search Eternia's Central Command and he wasn't there. Can Braev be found and fought anywhere in the other worlds? If not, is there an actual plot explanation here?


title: Is there a limit to the number of cyclones that can be spawned from Sweeping Wind?

text: I like the Cyclone rune for Sweeping Wind, and it seems to be pretty powerful, but I was wondering about how much value I should place on `+crit chance` gear. Is there a limit on how many Cyclones can be spawned at once? I'm sure that I've seen multiple spawn at once from a Fists of Thunder, so I don't think there is an internal cooldown and I've also seen 5-6 spawned at once. But that still doesn't prove anything, so my question: Does anyone know if there is a limit (hard, or soft like an internal CD) on how many cyclones can be spawned at the same time?


title: Will deleting the .minecraft folder and restarting the game affect stuff on multiplayer?

text: So basically I'm glitching really badly right now on this factions server. I have no clue what to do apart from just deleting the .minecraft folder and seeing if that works. But will that make me lose all my stuff on the server?


title: Minecraft Server Hide Plugins & Commands Help

text: How do i make it so like my default users cannot see plugins, when they do /help they see the plugins and the command that they cannot use. How do i fix it so they can't see plugins or the plugins commands?


title: Are Flash Fires bad?

text: The Diablo 3 Witch Doctor skill FireBomb does 85% of your weapon damage in an 8 yard radius. The Flash Fire rune for said skill changes it from an AOE to a single target bouncing attack with a maximum of 6 targets and a 15% Damage Reduction per bounce. Why, o why, would I want to change my attack from 85% to everyone in the area, to an 85% at BEST to only 6 people in the area?


title: Is this Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver legitimate?

text: Or is it another knock-off? I know Amazon is reputable but I heard that these receivers were only being produced for sale in a bundle with a 360 controller, not just being sold standalone like this one. Here is the Amazon page: Amazon Link Here is the original seller's website link: TotalConsole.com Link


title: How do "on hit" effects work with channeled / DoT skills?

text: How do "on hit" effects, such as +life on hit or chance of fear per hit, work with channeled skills, such as Disintegrate or Rapid Fire? And how do they work with damage-over-time skills, such as Grasp of the Dead or Impale with Chemical Burn or just bleed damage from a weapon? Specifically, if I have a lot of "on hit" effects, is it advisable to use a lot of channeled / DoT skills? Given that Rapid Fire attacks like 10 times faster than regular attacks, will I gain health faster if I use it with a "life-on-hit" modifier? I'm guessing the answer is some variation of "no", but will be happy to get more details about this. Related questions I have browsed while trying to find an answer:   * Do channeled skills count as one attack? - but it only asks this regarding Mighty/Massive Blow.   * Do attacks that hit multiple enemies (or one enemy multiple times) generate multiple on-hit triggers? - but it asks regarding non channeled/DoT skills, just discretely-attacking skills that can damage multiple opponents, or damage the same one more than once (like Chakrams).   * Does "Way of the Hundred Fists" generate more than one "on hit" effects? and Does a Sidearm hit count as an additional hit and trigger life on hit are similar but specific to certain skills that work in a non-orthodox way.


title: Knockback on Hit with Witch Doctor

text: I have a Rare Ceremonial Knife (Witch Doctor) with 2.0% Chance to Knockback on Hit. Is this effect triggered by non-melee attacks, such as Firebomb and Firebats? I have not seen any evidence in-game that the effect is triggering when using these two skills.


title: How do I install Diablo 3 on an external hard drive without admin privileges?

text: In relation to the post here: Playing through an external hardrive and here: How can I run Diablo 3 without an administrator account? I'd like to know how you can install Diablo 3 on a connected USB 2.0 external hard drive without having admin privileges (as soon as you start the installer you get prompted for admin username/password). Thank you!


title: Minecraft Migration Skin

text: I recently migrated my Minecraft account with my Mojang account and now when I log in to minecraft.net and try to change my skin, it says I need to buy the game... But I already have the game. What do I do? And is there any way to unmigrate my account?


title: What bow should I use to maximize my ranged damage?

text: I really like using a bow in DS2, but my current one seems a little weak. I'd like to do as much damage as possible as quickly as possible. For simplicity, we can assume that scaling in one stat is as good as scaling in another stat (I can always respec), and that I'm using wooden arrows for all of them. Which bow will let me do the most damage? Does the answer change if I use greatarrows instead? What is the best if we only consider bows on the normal upgrade path (Titanite Shards, Chunks, and Slabs)?


title: Why are there files in my End and Nether regions?

text: In this world, I haven't visited the End or the Nether yet, so the `/DIM` and `/DIM-1` folders have both been empty. At some point today, after building a long rail line, I noticed that there is now a 12kb `/region/r.1.1.mca` in _both_ folders, even though I haven't been to either dimension! The files are missing in my backup from yesterday, so I know they were just created. This is a single-player map, so that precludes the possibility of another server user having visited and caused chunks to be generated. Where did they come from? Why is Minecraft generating chunks for dimensions I haven't visited?


title: How long to wait between shots when using a deployed designated marksman rifle?

text: In Project Reality (BF2 version) you have to wait between consecutive shots for the weapon to completely settle, even though there is (unfortunately) no visual feedback for this information. For designated marksman rifles I know that I should wait ~2 seconds between shots in undeployed mode, but how long do I need to wait in deployed mode? I realize the answer might be different across different rifle types, I would just be happy for a rough number. Alternatively, a link to anywhere that details the exact settle times for all weapons will also be welcome :)


title: How does the water sent to the Arcology affect the region?

text: The arcology regional project requires 120 Kgal/hr water for operation. Does that water return in the form of sewage, or is it lost forever? If there are multiple cities in the region, whose clock is used to determine if the water supply requirement is met?


title: What does upgrading the supply unit do?

text: Like every other unit in the game, the supply unit can be upgraded. However, the armor of the unit doesn't appear to increase with level, and, at $25, the cost seems significantly lower than that of other units. So what does upgrading the supply unit do, other than to add a star to the unit?


title: What determines bonus xp?

text: Sometimes when I kill an enemy, I get a popup saying that I received bonus experience for the kill. ![gw](http://i.stack.imgur.com/R9Kvm.jpg) Why do I get this bonus XP? I can't seem to narrow it down the variables. It happens whether I'm partying or solo, and whether I'm in an event or just grinding regular mobs.


title: How can I check which model of Neo Geo MVS do I have?

text: I am trying to buy a Neo Geo MVS PCB but the seller doesn't know if his board model is an MV-1, MV-1A, MV-1F and so on. Where should I tell him to look for this information?


title: How to tell high-quality food from the rest in a stockpile?

text: I need to feed noble and soldiers with the finest food in the fortress and give leftovers to peasants (I peeped at government to learn this trick). But it turned out that stockpile does not allow one to set quality food in settings. Is there other way of doing that?
