title: Diablo 3 Wizard Skills/Build

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Solo Wizard Builds? I have recently switched from Diablo 2 to 3 and the new way the skills evolve is messing with me a little (automatically things unlock on certain levels versus in the past choosing what you want to add levels to). Due to all skills having comparable levels now, it is easier to bounce around in what you wish to use (especially when something weak gets a new rune making it more powerful). My current character is a wizard and I currently like to use Electrocute (to attack multiple enemies), Diamond Skin (otherwise I'd die quickly), and then pretty much any combo of Wave of Force, Hydra, Blizzard, or Meteor. Sometimes I'd throw in the Familiar but never found it very effective. I guess my question is: Is this a good build? and What combo would actually work best? **Either solo or in a group.** I have a lot of trouble comparing the strengths of different attacks since they're all nearly the same level, whereas in d2 you used the same few things the whole time because it's where you put your skill points.


title: Is the API version different from the client version?

text: I've downloaded Forge 6.6.0, supposedly for Minecraft 1.4.7, but some mods are complaining about the Forge version being too old even though they are also 1.4.7. I've received a suggestion in chat that says: > A bit late, but in case you haven't found out why that is. You've downloaded > Forge (the API that makes creating mods easier) 6.6.0, ForgeModLoader > 4.7.whatever is the thing that takes all the individual zip files that mods > come in and loads them for you (and various complicated stuff to make sure > it all works). So what exactly am I supposed to do? Is there a difference between the Forge API and the ForgeModLoader? If so, how do I differentiate between the two and install the correct FML?


title: How do the threat mechanics work in TERA?

text: I'm used to the somewhat more normal "accumulative" threat in other MMOs, where if there aren't any "1 shot" mechanics, the tank can generally AFK after the first minute or so. EnMasse's TERA seems to work very differently. On my priest, I find myself pulling aggro constantly, even late in the fight. From a Lancer's perspective as well, it seems like they need to stay exposed most of the time (and take a good deal damage) or hit the AoE taunt on CD. It's fairly obvious that this threat mechanism isn't accumulative, but are there any hard rules for how it works?


title: What triggers a follower's armor progression?

text: I have noticed that there is an armor progression for each of Kormac (Templar), ![Kormac](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9HWY7.jpg) Lyndon (Scoundrel) ![Lyndon](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nmcip.jpg) and Eirena (Enchantress). ![Eirena](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PW0Mc.jpg) What triggers the progression? Is it purely a visual effect or does it have some purpose beyond eye candy? All images taken from http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Diablo_Wiki


title: Why worry about CS (creep score)?

text: If you focus more on kills and objectives you would obtain a ton of gold. So what does a good CS in a game provide?


title: Game automatically quits when opponent guesses drawing

text: Draw something is automatically quitting on me. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled it which didn't work. I managed to get it to work again after I deleted the player and they also deleted me and we started an entirely new game, but after 4 turns it started quitting automatically again. Has anyone else encountered this problem or can think of another fix I haven't tried that might work? I'm playing on my Galaxy S3.


title: Are World of Warcraft quests linear?

text: I have never played World of Warcraft. The thing is, whenever a new MMO is released, people often give feedback wherein MMOs just copy the WoW formula and slap F2P onto it for quick profits. As I try out these new MMOs, I notice that they all have a linear story, meaning the users are almost always given direct orders as to what to do next. It's not a discover-new-quests-as-you- explore-the-game kind. Since they say that these are just copies of World of Warcraft, I want to know if WoW has linear story progress as well? Most I see is that people complain that the quests are too linear on these new MMOs. If WoW is indeed linear too, how come they aren't complaining about WoW doing that? Can anyone enlighten me please? As much as I'd like to give WoW a try, the installer files are just too big for my puny connection to handle and isn't worth justifying getting especially if I'm just going to check out some minor specifics in the game.


title: Is it cheaper to buy assembled planes or build them yourself?

text: At first I assumed building planes as cheaper as the 3 necessary parts cost less than the full cost of the plane. However I've learned that there is a "build" cost and also a cost to move planes out of your hangar into service. Is it actually cheaper to build planes or should I buy them outright instead?


title: Is it possible to run Knights of the Old Republic 2 at a higher resolution?

text: I grabbed KOTOR 2 in the latest Steam sale to see what all the fuss was about with the recently completed Sith Lords Restored Content Mod. The game runs fine, but I'm finding the max resolution of 1024x768 jarring. Is there any way I can raise this closer to my native 1440x900? If it's locked at 4:3 and has no widescreen support, that's fine, I'm perfectly happy with 1200x900, but playing the game letterboxed this badly is kind of painful.


title: What use are Steam Trading Cards?

text: Is it purely a 'gotta-have-them-all' mindset, or do they actually serve some purpose? I notice that you are able to sell them on a community market. For a test I listed one, and someone bought it for 50p. Not exactly a huge amount, but I don't understand why someone would spend real money on them. Am I missing something? Are they redeemable for games or money off vouchers or something 'tangible' that I'm missing?


title: Is there a list of old community choice games/options in the winter sale on steam?

text: I would like to know if there is a list of the games previously up for Community Choice in the Winter Sale on steam, including those that didn't win. It would be a good, for example, to have a reminder of ones that I voted for that weren't made community choice, as I might still like to buy them.


title: Does Vangelico have any competitors?

text: So I'm about to do the mission where I rob Vangelico. Before I go, I'm wondering if they have any competitors whose stocks I can buy. I can't find any info about this online - maybe not all companies have competitors?


title: Getting an exotic armor with different prefixes

title: Playstation Plus for PS4 on multiple Console accounts?

text: When paying for a Playstation Plus subscription, for online gaming with the PS4, is the subscription tied to one account on the console, or the console itself? To provide some scope, I'm assuming multiple accounts can be made on the PS4 just as you could on the PS3... I'm wondering whether each account needs it's own subscription. I have looked through the PSN support and one section reads: `One PlayStation Plus membership allows all local accounts on the subscriber’s ‘Primary PS4’ to use online multiplayer through their Sony Entertainment Network accounts.` I was hoping for some clarification. Are the said "local accounts", all accounts on the console?

title: Does Xbox 360 support Miracast?

text: With Windows 8.1 natively supporting Miracast, we saw a demonstration of screen mirroring via Xbox One at the ongoing \\build\ conference. For owners of Xbox 360, does it support Miracast, meaning can I mirror my laptop screen running Windows 8.1 to my TV using Xbox 360?


title: Xbox 360 controller right motor makes loud noise

text: I got a brand new xbox 360 controller yesterday. The buttons are good, soft and responsive but I think I have a problem with the right motor. It mostly make sound while not vibrates at all !!! **Long story** : I play Assassin Creed Brotherhood for a while and feel the vibration's weak. So I follow this **thread** to try test the vibration . I download both `x360ce_lib32_r848_VS2010.zip` and `x360ce.App-2.1.2.191.zip`, put them in the same folder and run the program. However, it need something and tell me it will download it but take forever to load (internet is OK). ![Pic1: it need something](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sapWc.jpg) Pic 1: the program need something. ![Pic 2: If I skip it, there's a warning ](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Bfptz.jpg) Pic 2: If I skip it, there's a warning Despite that, the program still recognizes correctly all the inputs. Then I try to test the vibration, the left is ok but the right one just make a loud noise while the vibration is weaker. I tell the support guy and he say the reason is those 2 motors are different. I still can return it if I want. **Short story:** It's make a loud noise when it vibrates, the sound is totally different than the left motor. **My question is** : is my controller is bad? Should I return it or use another tool to test the controller again?


title: Games that can be played split-screen

text: I am looking for games where I can play split-screen with the following conditions:   * Can be played by two players*   * Requires only a keyboard and a mouse, nothing more*   * Doesn't require online access*   * Is a fantasy/RPG genre with a storyline rather than a level to level   * Has lots of content, enough to keep us busy for hours.   * Is lightweight   * Possibly free *I really need these features


title: Far Cry 3 Items on map don't exist

title: What is meant by "Broadband Internet Connection Required" on various steam system requirements?

text: I'm very wary about supporting developers/publishers who use always on drm, so I do my best to research what drm is in the steam games I want to buy. When looking at the system requirements, some games say "Broadband Internet Connection" with no other qualification. Is that for multiplayer? Or is it a drm? Take for example Mortal Kombat Komplete.


title: Installing BF3 From Disc

title: I accidentally broke my materials chest, what can I do?

text: Just got this game. I accidently selected "break it" when inspecting the materials chest, thinking I could get my lumber and stone from inside. Turns out, instead of re-appearing when exiting the screen and coming back, it's gone. I can't seem to find another store that carries it. The general store, weapons, medicine, and food don't seem to have any "chests" of these kind. Where can I get another one? Is my best hope restarting all over again?


title: What's the "Impostor" dream job?

text: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/F3FgN.jpg)Has anyone else seen a worker show up in their "tiny death star" with "imposter" listed as their dream job? I've been playing for a few weeks on two devices, and never seen one before, however my son got one in his tds this evening (it was one of the blue-skinned aliens to boot). Where do imposters work?


title: Companion Inventory Glitch

text: I'm about 60 hours in now, and have been using the same companion for the majority of the time. I really would like to keep using this companion, but lately she's been getting... glitchy. It started out that it wouldn't let me unequip her "default armors" -- the two or three that she started with. OK, I could live with THAT. Over time, she started making mistakes with allowing me to take duplicates of an armor type that she had equipped at that moment, which she then took to calling her "default". I still couldn't take her original armor from her, even with new "default armor". Now, she has like over 10 different types of armor that she is calling her "default armor". It won't let me unequip any of them at ALL. It gives the same error message, which is exactly as follows.... "You can't take your teammate's starting armor." -- for like 10 different types of armor, stacked and unstacked. I would really like to keep this companion, but I just feel like she's kind of broken in my game at this point lol ... Is there a way to fix this? If not, should I/can I replace her? OR is this the sign of something much deeper and worse (game-breaking). I am playing Xbox 360, which I know severely limits my options for fixing, but please let me know, as I have scoured the internet searching for answers to no avail...


title: Should I save any of my hunting spoils?

text: I've been slaughtering cute fuzzy wild animals for quite some time now, and my bag is chock full of bits of animal and wild herbs. So far I've not found any crafting recipes or missions that require me to have any particular bits of stuff. Further, all the challenges seem to want me to just kill or collect things, and aren't particularly concerned with the contents of my inventory. Is there any of this which I need for any reason, or should I just sell it to make a quick buck? (no pun intended...)


title: Why has my enchantress been turning me into a chicken?

text: My follower has the skill that turns enemies into chickens. However, on rare occasions, it seems to backfire and turn **me** into a chicken. Is this a bug? If not, is there something I can do to avoid it? It's quite a dangerous thing to be pecking around nightmare monsters.


title: Why can't I craft a badge when I have 5 different cards?

text: I have 5 different cards for The Binding Of Isaac, but I can't find anywhere to craft a badge.   Do I need the exact 5 cards shown in the badges page within steam (as below)? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Eb6LY.png) I thought those were just a random 5. * * * Note: I have since sold the cards which is why the above image shows me having none.


title: How can I detrigger an aggro?

text: So I was on the mission One For my Baby, where you have to find the suspect in Novac who sold a woman to slavery. I made the mistake towards the end to unlock the safe WHEN Jeanne May Crawford was there. Now, everytime I load the save, she attacks me. What's worst is that I have both Veronica and ED-E as companions, and I only have a split second to get out of the lobby (where the save is) or else she'll die to my companions I was thinking there's a console command to detrigger an aggro, but I don't know how to get rid of this. Is there a set time I need to be gone to reset her aggro? Or is it inevitable that she dies?


title: How can I force my companion to focus on healing instead of attacking enemies?

text: I want my companion(Mako) to focus on only healing me but she keeps attacking people. How can I get her to only heal me and not attack? If she focused on healing I would be a lot better off. Does anyone know what to set to do this. I also keep turning off her attacking abilities and they keep turning back on. How can I prevent that? EDIT: They fixed this issue in the new 1.1.0 release!!!!! I listed the bug fixes below. Bug Fixes   * Companions will now sell trash items when requested, regardless of group size.   * Companion healing abilities no longer apply a permanent green effect on the character.   * Fixed an issue that caused Companion Characters to sometimes have the incorrect appearance in cinematics.   * **Companion abilities that have been disabled by the player no longer toggle back on when the companion is re-summoned.**   * Corrected an issue that caused the indicator that a companion wants   to talk to you to disappear.   * Companions no longer need to be re-summoned after selling trash items if the player mounts a vehicle after dispatching them.   * Traveling from a Contested Area to a Contested Region now causes   companions to be unsummoned correctly.


title: Where is the battlefield report for the Act III achievement Espionage?

title: How can I determine an NPC's level?

text: Basically, I want to try to do a survivalist, perma-death playthrough of Skyrim on master difficulty on PC. I tried it a few months ago and it was really, really fun. You think about things a lot more before rushing into battles, and it actually feels like you're actually there, especially when you refuse to fast travel. You start pining for peaceful locations when your potions are running low and you're stuck in forsworn turf. The thing is, on this previous play-through, I was killed by a bounty hunter in **one hit**. Despite all my precautionary wards, amulets and potions, this guy came up to me and killed me in one. He looked like just a normal human (rather than a dragon priest or anything) so there was no way of telling he was going to do this. How can I view an NPC's level? Or prevent being one-shotted?


title: Problem with Xbox Live Split screen for COD ghosts

I have recently started out with inventing Tech II variants of the various blueprints I have. I started with something nice and small so started creating Hobgoblin II blueprints. So far I have successfully created two Tech II blueprints and each of these have had a single licensed run on them. The blueprint copies I have been inventing from have a number of licensed runs of 5 - does this influence the number of licensed runs the invented blueprint will have? How can I increase the number of licensed runs when inventing Tech II items?


title: How do I use apparel?

Currently this item appears in my hangar and regardless of the amount of clicking I do on the item it never seems to appear on my character. What am I doing wrong? How do I use apparel?


title: What are the torches Inside Zora's Domain used for?

text: In Zora's Domain there are a number of torches which go out after some time, 2 are behind the Waterfall and one is in the shallows by the shop. I've tried lighting them all and i think i do get them but they always seem to still go out, i remember in some dungeons these kind of torches will go out if the puzzle isn't cleared in time. I am wondering what these torches are for.


title: Fix for "Forever Mourning" bug? (Vilkas not giving the "Purity of Revenge" quest)

text: I have encountered the now-infamous "Forever Mourning" bug in Skyrim. The "Forever Mourning" bug is encountered after completing "Blood's Honor" (where you kill the witches for their heads, for the lycanthropy cure), you return to Jarrvaskr to see the Silver Hand had attacked the area, and inside the building Kodlak is dead. You turn in the quest to Vilkas, but for whatever reason he doesn't give you the next quest in the line, "Purity of Revenge". Instead, he ends up going into "busy" mode (where you can't interact with him) and everybody is "forever mourning" the attack and the loss. I haven't cleared Driftshade Sanctuary or completed the "Find Helm of Winterhold..." miscellaneous quest. What should I do? I've heard that I should get the Helm without killing any enemies inside Driftshade (using Invisibility potions and such), then wait 32 in-game days, then return to Jorrvaskr. Is there another way? How can I get around this bug? I am playing on the PS3.

title: camera movement in SWTOR

text: I want to turn my camera to look to another direction than the direction I am walking without having to hold down a mouse-button. When I turn my camera to look sideways (without turning my character to that direction) and then start walking, the camera always turns itself to get straight behind my character and make me look forward. This is the default setting in WoW too, but you could turn of this automatic behaviour. I would like to turn this behavior off in SWTOR too. Sadly, I can't find a setting for this. Have I missed that setting when searching for it, or is this not possible?

title: Who or what is Pyramid Head?

text: I've played almost the entire Silent Hill series, one of the games that impressed me the most is Silent Hill 2 not only by the twisted plot but by the most horrific antagonist, Pyramid Head. The thing with this character is that I never found out anything about it (him?), no motivation, no identity, nothing except that it wanted to kill me. So as the title says, Who or What is Pyramid Head? (Either in Silent Hill 2 or the Silent Hill Series).

text: There are many joke options in Hearthstone's Finding Opponent spinner. Most of them are clearly references or jokes. But I don't know what to make of the "Fiscally responsible mime". Is it a reference to something I don't recognize? Is it a pun (like "A cardish Ian")? Is it an in-joke for Blizzard employees? Is it just there to make people boggle?

title: How to prevent cargo from swinging inside fairings?

text: I'm using Ferram Aerospace Research to add some realism to drag. But this makes me to use fairings for my payload. Sad thing is, my payload swings. A lot. I tried both KW Rocketry and Procedural Fairings but both express the same behaviour. Without internal struts I can't make it to an orbit sometimes. Placing internal struts is next to impossible, so is there any other way to have cargo secured? I know that mission failures caused by payload fairings happens in real life, but I think I had enough of them to feel realism already. There are some patents for securing cargo inside fairing (I mean real life USA and EU patents) - is there any way to get the same in KSP? I mean, for example, something like CFLR here: ![Image](http://spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av003/images/030715atlas5500art.jpg) Article with this image > To give the fairing structural support during the ascent, the "Centaur > Forward Load Reactor" deck has been designed by Contraves.

title: Are some of the challenges/treasures possible to miss forever?

text: First off, after I finished the story for Tomb Raider, I went back and started collecting everything and completing challenges. I decided to make it a personal goal to get 100% of everything in this game without the help of any online guides or tips. Unfortunately, after spending a ridiculous amount of time searching for just a few last things I need, I'm starting believe I forever missed them because I didn't get them during the story, and there are some areas I can no longer seem to get to. Without telling me where anything is or how to get them, let me tell you what I'm looking for and if possible, please just let me know whether "yes" it is still possible to get them or "no" it's too late after finishing the story. I'm looking for the last two mines on Shipwreck Beach. I didn't get any during the story, and I feel like I've searched everywhere dozens of times and I'm still missing two. There's a section of Shipwreck Beach I can no longer seem to reach (because one of the gondolas you jump on during the story had fallen) and I feel like maybe two of the mines are past that point. I don't really know. Another thing I can't seem to get is a document, which according to the map is located on the Endurance. It doesn't look like there is any way for me to get back onto the ship any more. So please, don't tell me how to get these or where the mines are. If you can just let me know if it's still possible to get them, I'll keep trying on my own. Otherwise I won't waste my time. Thanks! Hmmmm... I suppose it would be okay if you also told me whether or not either of those two "unreachable" locations is still reachable. Just don't tell me if it's necessary! Thanks again.

title: How to select all same type structures in entire map?

text: I was wondering if it is possible to instantly select all same type structures in entire map (not in territory you are currently watching)? For example: I want to reallocate multiple spine crawlers scattered around map to front line. So, if there are any, what hotkeys should I use to instantly select them all?? (I also could do that by manually finding them all and sending them elsewhere, but it would be waste of precious time and there would be chance that I might miss few of them.) p.s. I'm playing HotS


title: How do I get map specific events (like Mortar or KEM Strike) in COD: Ghosts?

title: After Reclaiming a Fortress, can't claim leftover animals

text: I recently reclaimed a fortress that got wiped out by a goblin ambush, and everything is going well except that there are a bunch of Yaks and Buffalo that belonged to the previous tenants are now roaming throughout my fortress that I can't select for a Pasture, nor do they show up for butchering, nor do they show up in my stocks menu. I've tried setting cage traps for them, but they just walk right over the traps without being caught. How do I go about catching these animals? EDIT: I just realized that the Yaks belonged to a group of merchants who showed up just before the ambush, **BUT still, how do I capture them?**


title: How often are SMP maps automatically saved?

text: I've found these two commands related to 'auto-save' on the Op wiki page:   * /save-off - turns off auto-save.   * /save-on - turns on auto-save. but I can't find any documentation on the length of time between this 'auto- save'. Is the duration between saves referenced anywhere? I'm trying to automatically backup SMP saves and although I'm aware of some libraries where I can communicate with the server (mcchat for example) I'd rather use something that was built into the game as it reduces the chance of it breaking later. Bonus points for diagrams.


title: What do I open the "coalesced.bin" file with, for Mass Effect 3?

text: I want to access the file to tweak some things, but It doesn't seem to have the right default program to open it because it was "VLC Media Player" when I first went to it. I tried using notepad and microsoft word etc but of course nothing worked, it was all a bunch of symbols. Can you please tell me how I can get this file open in the right program so I can access it and make the tweaks I want to? Thanks.


title: How do I get the wandering magician?

text: I downloaded the latest update, and now the loading page mentions the "new wandering magician" I can apparently have at my Street Fair. I looked at the booths, all of Snoopy and Charlie Brown's friends, and the landscape items, and I can't seem to see the magician anywhere. I would really love to have a magician at my fair! How can I make this happen?


title: Can legendary Pokemon found using Mystery Part in Explorers of Sky reappear if they are not recruited?

text: I found a Celebi in Mystifying Forest, but it did not join my team. Will I need to start from my last save point, or can she/it be recruited?


title: Is blocking with a one-handed weapon equivalent to blocking with a shield or a two-handed weapon?

text: I'm not a huge fan of two-handed swords or shields in Skyrim; I'd like to just wield a one-handed weapon (dagger, sword, etc.), but I'm worried that my blocking won't be as powerful and that I'll take more damage. Am I worried for nothing, or do I really need a shield?


title: How do I pick a wife?

text: In the Guild 2 I'm getting ready to court my first spouse, and from a guide I read it recommended picking a spouse whose class complimented mine (ie: Patron for Craftsman). How do I determine the class of a potential spouse, they seem to all say 'Unemployed`?


title: How do I properly setup an auto-starting server on Windows Server?

text: I have been having a difficult time configuring the Minecraft server to start with Windows. Here's the situation: I have a Windows Server 2008 hosted at GoDaddy which I use for my web development and such. It has really powerful hardware which most of the time is not utilized (Core 2 Quad @2.5Ghz, 8GB RAM, etc). I ~~have~~ had the server configured to restart automatically every night at 2AM just to keep it refreshed. Well, I spent hours trying different ways to configure the Minecraft server to startup after the computer boots, but I've had no luck and finally gave up. The server hasn't been restarted in like a month thanks to that... So, I ask for any assistance on how I can configure a scheduled task that will startup the Minecraft server after boot.


title: Gear hotkeys: which is which

text: If I assign **Q** for the first one, which is the item I'm going to activate? What about the next ones (2,3,4,5,6,7,8)? I think it's sorted clockwise though. ![hotkeys](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tVDmT.png) ![gear](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Om7iN.png)


title: What is Pikablu, and how can I get him?

text: I've heard a lot of rumors about Pikablu, is he real or not? If he's real, where can I find him? Do I need cheats to get him?


title: How do I know how many coins I've collected?

text: Additional Kart parts are unlocked by collecting coins. That is all fine and dandy, but how do I know how many coins I've collected across all games? This would make it much easier to know when I've collected all Kart parts, and how far away I am from unlocking an additional part.


title: Was there ever a voiced version of Monkey Island 2?

text: I have vague memories of Monkey Island 2 being fully voiced, but am worried that I might be slightly delusional. Was there a voiced version of MI2 (prior to the Special Edition) or did the voice acting start in MI3?


title: Flower patch in Taverley?

text: I'm doing the new God Emissaries quest things, and on the third quest, I am asked to create a diversion near the flower patch in Taverley... Where is this flower patch?


title: PermissionsBukkit: Is there a replacement for Superpermsbridge for apps that don't support superperms?

text: I'm attempting to run a module (mcmmo) with PermissionsBukkit. The problem is, mcmmo doesn't seem to support superperms. For the most part it works, but anything listed by world or in groups isn't seen. There used to be something called Superpermsbridge that was supposed to fix this problem, but I've never used it and as far as I can tell it's unmaintained (the page is deleted, the PermissionsBukkit page say "Not recommended" by the only version--1.2) Is there any solution for this? All my other plugins seem to work fine and I'd hate to lose that by switching to another permissions provider--especially since PermissionsBukkit seems to be the way Bukkit is going. I'm just wondering if there is some magic syntax I can put into the permissions to make mcmmo deal with superperms, or if there is a version of mcmmo I haven't found yet. ps. The goal is to have mcmmo active in just one world and completely inactive in the others. Currently I have it active for some users and ban them from other worlds, not really the way I wanted to go.


title: Is there a canonical list of Minecraft bugs?

text: Is there a good official/semi-offical list of Minecraft bugs somewhere. I occasionally experience weird behaviors and I want to know if the bug is already known, and I should just accept it since I am playing something in alpha, or if it is a new bug and needs to be reported so it can be fixed/addressed.


title: Is there a way to see how deep I am?

text: Is there a way to see how deep a hole I've dug in Minecraft, besides counting the number of squares I've dug through? I realize at some point there is bedrock so if I can't see how far down I am, can I see how far from the bedrock I am?


title: How to beat Matriarch Benezia with little health?

text: I am playing as an infiltrator and I've just beaten the first wave of commandos Benezia sends after you in Mass Effect. The game automatically saved and after the conversation ends and I am meant to kill her, I have little health, no medpacks and my team also has little health. My team consists of Ashley and Benezia's daughter (whose name I forget), one of which gets put in stasis mode every single time. There doesn't seem to be anywhere I can run to seek cover. The closest I came was using the marksman ability and telling my team-members to attack Benezia and getting her down to a sliver of health before a commando killed me. Suggestions?


title: Is Space Engineers an online simulation game?

text: I mean, I saw Space Engineers on Steam and totally fell in love with it, but I didn't want to buy it and then regret in tears. I was wondering, is Space Engineers an online simulation game? Or is there an option where you can play in offline mode or only with your friends?


title: Is it worth using a headset instead of speakers for FPS games?

text: I've read few recommendations which would suggest that using a good quality headset improves your chances of survival a lot, as you could hear the steps of enemies or where they are firing from. Rather than a headset, I'm currently playing with 2.1 Creative speakers. Is it really worth switching to a headset? And is there improvement using a 5.1 headset, rather then stereo a one?


title: Is it possible to attack underwater?

text: In Skyrim, my character is an Argonian and I swim a lot and I keep getting attacked by slaughterfish underwater. I don't appear to be able to use my weapons or magic while underwater. Is there anything in the game that would let me kill those stupid fish while I am underwater with them? They don't ever kill me but they are annoying and should be murdered like ever other creature I find the in wilderness!


title: How do I spawn Enderdragons in Minecraft?

title: How can I duplicate items in Minecraft?

text: How do you duplicate items quickly in Minecraft? I have tried to drop it and then getting off of the world, and then getting back in, but it didn't work out too well. Nothing got duplicated. I just can't duplicate them. It doesn't work at all.


title: How can I extend my Destruction sprees?

text: How can I prolong my destructive rampages? Keeping up a certain average time between smashing this or that, or getting one every few seconds? It 'feels' different than the massacre system, but that could just be me not worrying about combat.


title: Battlechugging potions in The Witcher 2

text: When The Witcher 2 came out, I was immediately put off by the inability to chug potions without kneeling and navigating a bunch of menus, making alchemy, a core part of the game, useless. Has this been changed in the enhanced edition, and if not, is there a mod the game to achieve this functionality?


title: Minecraft LAN; timeout after 30 seconds

text: I am using MultiMC 5 to host my minecraft instances. So I can see status updates on the console. Whenever my friend tries to join one specific world, I begin to lag like hell and 30 seconds later my friend gets **_connection timeout_**. The console then says: > After processing 2500 packages there is still 10.000.000 packages left. And then slowly counts down, but then times out. What is causing this timeout?


title: Proper Finger Placement on Rock Band 3 Pro Keys

text: It's been a long time since my childhood piano lessons, and now, with Rock Band 3's introduction of the Keyboard Instrument, it's time to learn it all over again. The Rock Band keyboard has notches on the left-most key at the left end of each colored section (sans the outermost red and orange sections). ![Product Shot of Rock Band 3 Wireless Keyboard](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XM9xT.jpg) What is the ideal finger placement on this keyboard when playing in Pro Keys mode?


title: Why can't I use my custom car in a race

title: What happened to the heroes from Diablo 2?

text: I know that the warrior hero from first Diablo became the Dark Wanderer and Diablo himself in Diablo 2; the rogue became Blood Raven and the the Sorcerer became the Summoner impersonating Horazon, and they all were killed by the heroes of Diablo 2. But the story doesn't tell what happened to the heroes of D2. Do heroes from D2 appear in D3? If not, are they mentioned in D3?


title: When/how much do we get experience from spawned enemies?

text: I noticed that I did not get any exp for the skeletons spawned by the Activated Pillars (during the quest A Shattered Crown). Not sure if this was right from the start or I get xp for the first few spawns killed - I was trying to test out a comment on using level up blast to topple all 4 pillars for the achievement, when I saw that I get 0 xp for letting more skels spawn and then kill them :( Do we ever get xp for killing such spawns, or its always best to just kill the nest or pillar asap? If they give no xp, is it better to just avoid all the plague crow nests etc. in the wild instead of wasting time on killing them (or do the 'nest' give more xp to compensate)


title: Why won't my new skin load?

text: I've been trying to change my skin. I can see my skin, but everyone else sees me as Steve (the default skin). I need to change my skin or I will _explode in anger_. What am I doing wrong?


title: Minecraft saves: Is there a way to find which version it was created in?

text: I have quite a bit of old minecraft worlds lying around. With the new launcher, I understand I can create profiles for older versions of minecraft, give them their own folders, and copy the saves over to these. I don't want to load a save with a newer version than it was made. That usually gives ugly boundaries in world gen, or flips doors, or break things in other ways. I understand loading a newer world with an older version is even more likely to break things. I do of course make backups, but I don't want to try every version of Minecraft for every save that I have. Is there a quick way I can find out which version of Minecraft a world was originally created in and/or last saved in?


title: I've killed the guy (Cale) who has the key open the door to the locked house in Mejula, is there a way to get it?

title: Storage for Chapter 2 in The Witcher 2

text: So I just got into chapter 2 for the most part, completed a couple missions. How do I get storage again like in chapter 1? I need to place stuff into storage to avoid being overweight and also get stuff from my storage to craft a better sword that I want. Anyone know how to get the storage with everything in it again? I have unlocked the inn, to my knowledge anyway. I did the mission to save the guys son from being killed by the challenging man.


title: Skyrim Sound files Missing

text: I just got Skyrim bought off of the internet, but it's missing the sound files, or maybe they're just corrupted.Either way none of the voices or sounds work but I can see the chat animations. Anyone know where I might find them?


title: Can Bonus Character like Marjoly and Priere be fought again in a new Cycle

text: after the reformatting of my memory stick because all the games but 3 got corrupted i've been looking into downloading a OPed save file so that i can skip to where i was, however a lot of saves have Marjoly and Priere already beaten and in the party now i was on the first part of the final chapter (War of the Netherworld) so i know i wasn't too far off and i spent quite some time building up Managers and Statisticians for grinding so it's kind of a pain to build that up again, when i get to the chapter i was on i plan to reincarnate all the characters and sell most of the equipment the main thing though is that i would still want to beat Marjoly and Priere myself, so can i still fight them even though they've been beaten once


title: What are the default key bindings for Jet/Chopper for the XBox 360 controller

text: I recently started using an XBox 360 controller to fly jets, which has me crashing much much less. I can even start to get kills with the guns! Yay! But I was wondering if there was somewhere I could look to see what all the buttons do by default. In the options screen for the key bindings, the names used for the buttons don't really match up to the buttons on the controller. So I'm not sure which buttons do what actions. For example: (from battlefield.wikia.com) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/d03eh.jpg) The In Vehicle section, under joystick, lists "Fire Countermeasures" as button 6. There is no button labeled as "Button 6" on the XBox controller. Which button is it? And all the other buttons...


title: Why, when I am on a quest, does the game not recognize the pertinent area which I've already cleared?

text: I strayed off course simply exploring, clearing tombs, caves, towers etc. without completing any quests, for quite some time. Now as I go back through to complete campaign quests they are listed as incomplete and I must go through all the motions all over again. Is there any way I can bypass re-doing everything in order to make campaign progress?


title: Are there any Terraria biomes that can't be transplanted to another location in the world?

text: I've figured out that certain biomes in Terraria can be transplanted - mine or collect enough materials from the original biome (for instance mud blocks and jungle grass seeds) and then plant them somewhere else at the right altitude (above or below ground). The biome should then take root and the biome's own monsters, music and background will appear. The corrupt and hallow biomes even spread on their own in hardmode. Are there any biomes that can't be replicated just by transplanting tiles? If I use a pickaxe and hammer to steal a bunch of bricks and wall sections from the dungeon, could I make my own dungeon somewhere else and get dungeon enemies to spawn? What about the ocean biome? Do I just need sand and a big enough body of water for sharks to appear, or will they only spawn near the edge of the map?


title: How do I survive a Yeti outbreak?

text: For the Revenge of the Titans achievement called Drunken Family Argument, you have to defeat masses of Yeti in the bonus map. However, these rabid yeti are very devious and smart, avoiding any blocked off areas and ripping through your thinly distributed defenses. What are some tricks you can use to get this achievement?


title: Where is Heimskr's House?

text: I have a burglary mission that's targeting Heimskr's House in Whiterun. However, the objective does not show up on the map. I've pickpocketed Heimskr to get the key to his house, so I know it must exist somewhere. Could somebody point me in the right direction? There is one house not far from the Gildegreen tree that's been boarded up at least since the Stormcloak invasion, and cannot be entered. Please tell me this isn't it?


title: How can I safely kill a Whiptongue Bulborb?

text: The Whiptongue Bulborb is giving me enormous amounts of trouble. Whenever I get into a fight with one I wind up using a large number of Pikmin, which just isn't acceptable. I try getting around to its back, but it moves fast enough that doing so is easier said than done. Even when I manage to get my Pikmin onto the Whiptongue it still manages to eat up my Pikmin, and when it shakes my Pikmin off I'll often lose one or two. I've tried calling them off before it shakes but that results in me doing almost no damage. How can I safely, and quickly, dispose of the Whiptongue Bulborb? ![This guys a jerk](http://i.stack.imgur.com/amU77.jpg)


title: How much space does a Fire Imp need to spawn in?

text: In Terraria, how much space is required for a fire imp to spawn/teleport? So far, I've kept my hellstone mine restrited to either 3 tiles high or 2 tiles wide, and I haven't had any trouble until I attempt to mine a large patch of hellstone. So what is the minimum required space for an imp? It must be more than 2x3.

text: I'm just starting WoW for the first time... My question: Is the storyline and quests that I'm doing the same as what players did when the game started (in 2002 or whatever)? Or have events happened in the game that have progressed the entire timeline/story of the game for new players?


title: Will Duke Nukem Forever support LAN games?

text: Does anyone have information about this? I really hope this feature will be included in the game.


title: Strong alternate team compositions and tactics

text: I have started playing premade 5v5's (low elo) and can safely say that, without a good team composition, you will get beaten. No matter how good individuals on that team are, you are going to have a seriously hard time playing competitively. It is a lot more important in 5v5 than in solo queue. Now me and my friends are starting to experiment with some different tactics (aside from solo top, jungle, solo mid and dual bottom - with AD carry, AP nuke, tank, off-tank and support). Things we have tried:   * Double jungle - Solo lanes   * Solo top - Solo bot - Triple mid   * Solo top - Solo bot - Dual mid - Jungle   * Standard formation, all hard lane pushes with teleport and fortify Now we have had some VERY interesting results. The last on the list seems amazingly effective. Take a Sivir, TF, WW, Panth, Nocturne ~ anyone that pushes FAST and has good mobility. One player would backdoor, put down a ward, all teleport and boom, tower gone. In fact this tactic is incredibly hard to counter. The 'Solo top - Solo bot - Dual mid - Jungle' idea is our next venture. It involves all three solo players using EXP quints, masteries and a Zilean on the team. Basically, trying to outlevel the enemy and end games fast by putting hard pressure on mid, with the solo lanes still having jungle support. The champion composition would remain standard, although the AD arry and the AP nuke would stay mid together. Are there any interesting alternative tactics proven to be effective, with examples, say videos or guides that I can refer to that are similar to the examples I posted above?


title: How do I use the Round weapon in Space Invaders Infinity Gene effectively?

text: I am having difficulty getting the hang of the Round weapon in Space Invaders Infinity Gene. While the "bullet eating" effect is handy, I'm not sure how best to use it in general because of the way the bullets shoot from behind the ship. If I want to shoot an enemy coming from the upper left of the screen, I have to move my ship towards the bottom right in order to shoot it. Should I just be constantly moving my ship in a little circle? Is it just a matter of practice and fine-tuning? What am I missing here? I'm playing the PSN version, so I'm using the joystick controls on the PS3 controller, not the iPhone version, where you can use touch, if that makes any difference.


title: How do you tell if a quest/mission is completed?

text: For the Hanar Diplomat mission, I do not remember completing it. But it is marked grey (typically when complete). I have now finished the Citadel story mission where you > save the Citadel from attack Why is this mission grey like I already completed it? Can I > still get Kasumi?

title: Is there a way to make cave spiders passive in minecraft?

text: According to the Wiki "Cave Spiders, like regular spiders, are pacified (made neutral) by bright light." But, in my cave spider spawner area, I am lighting regions with redstone lanterns and the cave spiders are definitely not getting passified...![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XAShA.png) Is the wiki just wrong?


title: Is the USP Suppressor available in the Tanker stage in MGS2HD?

text: I've read that for the PS2 version of _Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty_ that the `USP Suppressor` is not available in the US version in the Tanker stage. Has this changed for the HD version?


title: Do Scavenger Trinkets stack in co-op Orcs Must Die 2?

text: In Orcs Must Die 2, the Scavenger Trinket gives all enemies a chance to drop coins; unlike the other trinkets which are only for the character using them (barring a few activated abilities) it applies for both characters in co-op play (since it doesn't really affect _players_ ). The question is, in co-op play if _both_ characters bring the Scavenger Trinket do you get double the chance of bonus coins, or is the 2nd Scavenger Trinket a waste? EDIT: This is specifically about the **passive** boost from the Trinket. Testing with a buddy has determined how the active ability of the Trinket functions, see answer below.


title: What are the timings for double pulling in safe lane, and pulling from offlane?

text: So I know the timing for pulling the safelane with the easy camps is XX:12 or XX:42, but if you want to double pull to one of the hard camps, then is there a best time to do this? Or does it depend on which easy camp you get and therefore how quickly the easy neutrals DPS down the creeps? (Note - you need to quelling blade or tango a tree to do this successfully in radiant jungle, think you can maybe get away with not doing it in dire jungle? Don't know for sure) Secondly, what is the timing for offlane pulling the hard camp from dire jungle, and easy camp in radiant jungle? (Again, this requires tree consumption on both I think) Thanks in advance!! PS - unrelated helpful note for anyone interested in learning more about pulling - if you get the camps with the healing creeps, you have to aggro by walking into them, not attacking them, as the healing creeps will remain stationary and heal if any of their compatriots are below 100% health. This was a revelation to me so thought I'd share :D


title: Can I view tags from other languages without switching my store language?

text: I use Steam in Finnish as I'm one of the voluntary translators for that language. As a result, my store is in Finnish as well and I only see tags made by other users who are using Finnish. Unfortunately there are approximately 3 people doing that, so not many games have tags other than the very generic "Free to play" and similar. The English version of the store usually has more tags giving more information about the game. Can I see the tags from other languages without changing my Steam language setting?


title: Why won't Commander Caius drink?

title: From Archaemennid to Safavid: What Golden Ages count towards the achievement?

text: Golden Ages started by Great People don't count as far as I can tell. Do all golden ages have to be from Happiness? What about from say Reformation or Rationalism, the cultural GAs?


title: What is the effect from 'change of delivery type' upgrade?

text: I don't know if that's the right name of the upgrade, please correct it if i'm wrong. How does the change of cargo (like car parts to hazardous chemicals), the one on upgrades, affects your game/delivery? I really don't get the direct effect of that upgrade though since it's not explained thoroughly.


title: How can I avoid speeding?

text: I don't have any experience driving in real life, and I'm not from the country the game's setting is. I just want to know how can I avoid getting that 'speeding' because I only know driving from NFS series, not this game.


title: Is there a way to spawn in travel tickets?

text: Is there a way to get Travel Tickets for free? This is an alternative for an Instant Marrage cheat and is much more useful, so it is worth it asking for a cheat to get infinite/have a way to spawn in travel tickets.


title: When do you get 10 points for capturing a flag in Conquest?

text: When I take a flag in a game of Conquest in Battlefield 4, I _sometimes_ get 10 points every second while taking the flag, but after a short time I stop getting those points while the flag is still not taken. What are the conditions to get these points? Are there certain timers or amounts that stop them from being awarded, and if so, what are they?


title: Where is Jondum Bau?

text: A couple missions into the game I got an email from Jondum Bau saying he'd like to meet me at the Citadel Embassies. I'm there and according to the map, I should be standing right on top of him, but he's nowhere to be found. Where is he and how do I talk to him?


title: How to kill a Brute effectively

text: The Brutes are giant Reaper-Giant hybrids that are very well armored, to the point where I'm sure their entire health bar is their armor. However, it seems to me that there is a certain point where it is most weak against my shots but I am unable to figure out which part of its body to aim for. Any suggestions?


title: Are shield, barrier and armor each completely different, or similar?

text: I am familiar with this question: What's the difference between armor, barrier, and shields? and I understand the use of different ammo types and skills in order to counteract these bonuses. This question is more pertaining to personal character selection. What I want to know is: _**If my enemies are using unmodified weapons and ammo, will the same weapon( or skill) do the same amount of damage to all 3 types of defenses?_** Or will the same melee attack do the same amount of damage? Another way to say what I'm trying to say specifically is: The linked post above states, _"Slow firing weapons like Sniper Rifles, Heavy Pistols, and Shotguns tend to do better damage to armor."_ but **_does that mean the other two types of defenses don't modify that variety of damage at all? Do the other two have a lesser but equal effect, or do all three defenses treat all damage differently?_**


title: How can I disable a mob spawner without destroying it?

text: I hear rumors that lava, water, and enough light can all disable spawners if done correctly. However, I can't seem to verify any of this. In what ways is it possible to disable a mob spawner without destroying it?


title: Are there any good reasons to let a character die?

text: This question or answers to it will likely contain spoilers. In the series so far there have been a lot of allies who may have been killed. In general, it is usually better to help your allies to live and meet whatever criteria are required to ensure you have as many allies as possible. As I started my game I wondered: **_Are there any reasons to prefer specific characters dead?_** I mean the first thought that comes to mind is someone gets possessed by a reaper later and makes a boss fight ridiculously hard, or someone turns on you for some other reason. In addition to allies, are there any NPCs who your actions may have saved in previous games, that might have been better off dead?


title: What's the most damage you can do in a single attack?

text: What's the most damage a single attack could do (theoretically) with maxed out stats (level 9,999, relevant attack stat(s) at 9,999,999 points), beneficial item innocents, a max-level skill ect? I know anything that does even 1 billion damage will kill any enemy (normally) but I'm curious as to how high the numbers will go. Is this something that can/has been calculated? I know I've seen the damage indicator go into the billions at least, so I also wonder if the max damage is capped at say 9,999,999,999 in one hit or if it's limited by the actual amount of damage feasable due to normal game mechanics.


title: 2 Steam Accounts on 1 computer, installing games in 2 different locations...possible?

text: I recently gifted my sister some Steam games and right now the only PC capable of running them is my computer. I know that is no big deal to have 2 accounts sharing a PC, but the problem is that she would be installing the games on her external hard drive, while I have my own games in the machine's hard drive. Is it OK to install the new games there (on the external HDD) and just plug it in every time she wants to play, or do we have to share the same location to our own games no matter what?


title: Where can I get better tools?

text: So I took advice from some guides regarding picking up items for gathering professions early on, and have myself a copper scythe, copper mining pick and copper axe. In some areas though, whenever I gather I end up with 'ruined ore' or 'ruined wood', which when hovered over for the tooltip in the inventory screen suggests I should get better tools to prevent wasting gathers. How many different levels of cools are there, and where can I get each level of tool from? Is it worth getting these early on or are they generally a waste in the lower level areas?

text: I'm comparing the options between buying 1400 points for $19.99 vs 500 points for $7.25. The former is buying a card at a retail store, the latter is buying the points directly from the 360. If buying from the 360 includes tax (or just doesn't charge it, either way), then it's cheaper. Otherwise, the card is cheaper. Does anyone know which way it goes?


title: Performance loss from 15" to 21" using the same resolution?

text: Why do I have a huge performance loss when I changed my monitor from 15" to 21"? For example, Dirt 2 used to run with ultra settings, 4xMSAA, 1024x768 and 30 FPS. Now it only runs 25 FPS with very low settings, no AA and 1024x768. What's wrong? My specs: Core2Duo E4600 2,4ghz, 2GB DDR 800mhz, Geforce 9800GT 512mb 256-bit, Windows XP SP3.


title: Steam Installer repair tool

text: I've recently been getting a lot of error messages when trying to install Steam for the first time on my new gaming computer. I've tried many things to solve these error messages, but none seem to work for me (I referred to the troubleshooting page from the Steam Support website when i was trying to fix these errors.) So I was wondering, where I can find this Steam Installer repair tool, in hopes of fixing all these error messages?


title: How can I edit my ME2 save to solve the  tali\legion conflict?

text: If you meet the following (mainly Paragon Mass Effect 2) conditions, AND have four bars of Reputation, then you can choose the Paragon (blue) option in the dialogue and resolve the Geth/Quarian conflict peacefully.               Have both Tali and Legion alive from an imported Mass Effect 2 save.     Prevented Tali’s Exile in Mass Effect 2     Resolved the Tali/Legion conflict in Mass Effect 2     Completed Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons     Completed Rannoch: Admiral Koris, and saved Admiral Koris     First side with Tali.  When Legion pleads with you to reconsider, you will have both a Paragon and Renegade option.  Picking Paragon will restore peace between the two sides.     You can also side with Legion first and tell him to upload the code.  When Tali says that the quarian will be wiped out, the same Paragon and Renegade options will appear.  Pick Paragon for peace.       **How can I edit the save so I can meet these conditions?** I have read that you can use Gibbed.MassEffect3.SaveEdit to edit ME save files.

title: How can I get my ship to go back to the dock once it's full, even if it has other oil rigs to go to?

text: I have some ships going to multiple oil rigs because each rig doesn't generate a lot of oil. However, sometimes it gets full after the 2nd, 3rd or however many rigs, and wastes time fulfilling the rest of the orders (it's full and can't unload) until it gets to the dock. Is there any way to give this boat an order to go back to the dock once it's full? (For example, below, if ship 2 fills up at Slunthill South, it would just go straight to Gondinghall Docks skipping the 2 stops in between.) ![](http://i.imgur.com/Ab0SL.png) I guess I could have it transfer but I'm not sure how efficient that is.


title: What happens if the panic level rises past 5?

Will taking the mission in Europe make them leave right then as the panic level can not rise anymore? I have 5 satellites coming in before month 4 is over so I can straighten everything out and buy myself another month before I assault the base.

title: Do all the Pieces of Eden do the same thing?

text: In 16's files in Assassin's Creed 2 it identifies 4 different types of Pieces of Eden   * Apple - More commonly seen though the series   * Shroud - Shroud of Turin   * Staff - Seen in Assassin's Creed 2 and is apparently the Papal Staff   * Sword - The sword which Jeanne d'Arc used also in Assassin's Creed 1, in the computer in the conference room it suggests that the Holy Grail is real and is a Piece of Eden. 16's files suggest that the Staff has the same ability to manipulate people as what the Apple has as apparently when the Czar lost the staff the people revolted against him, in the conference room computer it suggests that any Piece of Eden connected to the Jesus Mythos (Shroud, Holy Grail) will have the same powers as the Apple. Since 16's files don't actually say what the Sword does, I am wondering if all the Pieces of Eden do the same thing.


title: What types of enemies should I seek out to maintain a "Massacre" or "Kill Streak"?

text: There are lots of enemies that continually generate mobs until they themselves are killed. One of my favorite parts of this game is seeing how large a kill streak I can achieve. It's a great source of fun, gold, items, and xp. What I want to know is this... **What enemies should I seek out for this purpose?** I'm looking for enemies with the highest mob spawn rate so I can feasibly just keep cutting them down. **Where are they typically found?** What act, quest, and area do you usually spot them? I know these areas are random, but a general idea or potential scripted event would be nice.


title: How do I join the College of Winterhold when Faralda just keeps asking me to shout

text: I have to get into the college for the main quest, but I have no magical ability on this character so to get her to let me in I told her I was the Dragonborn. She told me to show her the voice. I keep shouting, but she just keeps telling me the same thing over and over, I can't even talk to her, she just keeps telling me to shout when I select her. Something worth noting is that she's not in her normal spot. When I started talking to her she was, but as soon as she asked me to shout and the conversation ended, she ran to the inn and went inside. Now she's standing in the inn next to the door just telling me to shout over and over again. ![](http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/864966217805571753/0516596C19CAE0D5420F3C1E72CF0604E345DA88/)


title: Are unique/elite/champion monster spawns deterministic?

text: We know that monsters grow stronger when fellow heroes join the fight against the minions of Hell. I assume (but am not sure) because of the monster buffs it increases the number of unique/elite/champion monsters and with the added help I'm eager to seek them out for the better loot (and the Nephalem Valor bonus at end game). So, are unique/elite/champion monsters spawns deterministic? Are there places where I will always find one, or is it totally random?


title: Does the binary mean anything?

text: In the puzzles of 16's files where you need to scan an image, sometimes there are hidden areas which have in binary. Do these have any secret meaning like with the Moon Landing images the US flag is the Abstergo insignia and the banner is the Templar one?


title: Why was Jeanne d'Arc killed?

text: In 16's files in Assassin's Creed 2 it indicates that Jeanne d'Arc was killed because she had the Piece of Eden: Sword. I am unsure if the Templars knew that Jeanne d'Arc had a Piece of Eden so I am wondering, did the Templars manipulate events to see her killed for the sole purpose of getting the Sword or did someone see what the Sword did and believed it was witchcraft and the Templars only learned the Sword was a Piece of Eden after her death.


title: I'm vilified and don't get attacked

text: Ok, I know from previous questions that the whole reputation and karma thing of FA:NV is a bit wierd but now I can't make heads or tails from it. I have been vilified with Caesar's Legion pretty much from the start. Today I bumped into Cottonwood Cove from the south. It made for excellent sniping and sniped I did. Picked off any Legion member I could see. Then I started moving into the cove and got stopped by a guy who wanted to know what I was up to. An swift speech check later and I'm now waltzing about and no one cares. I could even buy some slaves their freedom. And I'm NOT wearing any Legion armor at all, just plain neutral power armor. I thought that vilified status made that affiliation attack you on sight.


title: How does multiplayer work in Divinity Original Sin?

text: They say the game is "multiplayer coop". But how does the cooperation work, in details? And how many players can play the same game?

text: ( **Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II**, GameCube) In most (or all?) map variants of **Cave 2** there is a barrier blocking the way to two brownish boxes. It’s in the corner of a room with a little lake and waterfall, if that helps. It’s a usual barrier where you have to find the corresponding switch, but I did not manage to find it. It’s in the Cave 2 map of the quest **Secret Delivery** , too.

title: Genre name for real-time, 2D games where you create soldiers that automatically advance to the enemy base?

text: I've recently noticed some games emerging in a certain style for which I know of no name. I'm curious if there's any name for this style of gameplay - such a name will allow me to more efficiently search for more information about this genre. I'm guessing it's some subgenre of strategy gaming. ### General Game Description   * 2D gameplay with a side-scrolling perspective.   * Real-time (or mostly real-time) action.   * You have a base at one edge of the map and the enemy has one at the other edge.   * The winner is the first player to destroy the opponent's base.   * You can create new units at your base. You have no control of these units. They will automatically advance towards the opponent's base, attacking any of the opponent's units on the way.   * If a unit reaches the enemy's base, it starts attacking it.   * The game may include other aspects like resource management (units cost resources that you get somewhere), special abilities (e.g. spells on a timer) or other special mechanics, but the core of the gameplay is choosing the correct unit composition and timing and letting those units do the work for you. ### Example Games   * Age of War   * Swords and Soldiers   * Cartoon Wars


title: Can you not spend any talent points in hard mode?

text: My brother and I recently beat our copies of The Witcher 2, and, being the masochists we are, both decided to up the difficulty and play the other story branch. He finished before me, and experienced an irritating bug where he was not able to spend talent points after leveling up, and when I started over on hard a day later, I had experienced the same "bug". Given that it's unlikely for such an egregious bug to happen in exactly the same way on two separate computers, etc., we were wondering if this was because of our choice in difficulty; can you not spend talents on Hard mode? I mean, I know it's supposed to be _harder_ , but no talents _at all?_.


title: Is there a way to keep Zombie Pigmen off of minecart tracks in the Nether?

text: I am building a 2x3 tunnel for rapid travel (via minecart) through the Nether. The tunnel, in cross-section, looks like this:                NN     N = Glass     N  N    X = Cobblestone     N_iN    i = Torch (alternating Redstone and regular torches, spaced out a bit)     NXXN    _ = Minecart track (alternating powered/unpowered)      I have read this question and the prevailing answer there basically says not to mind the Zombie Pigmen. For me, that isn't an option because Pigmen can be a bit of a showstopper to minecarts in my tunnel. ![pigmen party screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cjsr6.png) They spawn in the tunnel, as opposed to walking into it (this seems to be consistent with the Wiki article on Zombie Pigmen, which merely says they can spawn at "any light level". They're a problem because they appear in groups of 2-3 and prevent minecarts from moving along the track. I have thought of a few possible ways to deal with this:   * Get off, pick up the minecart and walk around them, then put the cart back down and resume traveling. This is not ideal because I like to go AFK while on minecart tracks, and coming back to find I only traveled 50 meters before hitting a Pigman is frustrating.   * Punch a hole in the glass and shove them out into the lava. Again, this involves getting off the cart, and punching a hole in the glass makes the tunnel temporarily vulnerable to Ghast fireballs (thereby defeating the purpose of fully enclosing the tunnel in the first place).   * Attack them and move on. Not ideal because there is a good chance I will run into another gang of Pigmen further down the tunnel that will stop my cart and kill me while I'm AFK.   * Make the tunnel slightly taller, and make a trench on one side (or possibly both) into which the Pigmen can fall but from which they can't jump back up onto the minecart track. I'm not sure how effective this would be, as I'm not sure they would voluntarily wander into the trench. There's also this design, found in a Minecraft Forums thread:               N    N = Glass     _    _ = Track     X    X = Cobblestone      > Nobody can spawn (or walk) on your track, and the glass also keeps you from > attracting ghasts. It's very relaxing riding across the netherscape in the > apparent open, watching ghasts fly about overhead unaware of your presence. I haven't yet tested it, but I would hesitate to embrace this design, as it seems like it's an exploit that is liable to be "fixed" in any given future update. (I just re-did about 4 km of track that was previously powered by exploiting the minecart collision bug/feature, and I _do not_ want to go through that kind of thing again.) Is there any non-exploit, modless way to keep my tracks clear of Pigmen? I should add that this is in the context of SMP, and I don't want to turn `spawn-monsters` off either.

title: Dungeon Crawl crashed. Now my saved game won't load. How can I make it load?

text: I'm running Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup on Linux. Crawl disappeared while I was in the middle of playing. Now I saw only my shell. `S``y` didn't seem to save. `CTRL`+`L` didn't refresh the screen. Now I saw something like               [unforgettableid@amd ~]% crawl     Sy^L      plus a blinking cursor. Later, the Crawl process ended. In my `~/.crawl/saves` directory, I see a bunch of uncompressed savegame parts: `j.01a` through `j.23a`, `j.chr`, `j.msg`, and half a dozen more `j.*` files. But I don't see any `j.tar.gz` file. When I start Crawl again, its list of saved games is empty. I've hardly touched the affected computer since this problem happened, in case I'll need to undelete files from my hard drive. Is it likely that I can ever load my saved game again? If so, how?

I would like to know if the flash memory on the 4 GB console gives any slight performance advantage over the 250 GB? I plan on playing small downloaded indie game from the live arcade, not playing huge game like GTA. Also, if the 4 GB version gives better performance, is there any other 360 that would give better performance (even slight or unnoticeable without benchmarks)? Thank you.

text: I have a lovely display of Daedric artefacts in the basement of my house in Solitude. Irritatingly, the Ebony Blade refuses to be held by any weapon rack (whether wall mounted or free standing). It is unequipped successfully but then falls onto the floor rather than being attached to the mount. I had thought that this was just a sign that two handed weapons can't be mounted, however there were iron greatswords pre-supplied in them and further research has revealed that this is a known bug with the Ebony Blade. _Has anyone found a method of mounting the ebony blade_?

I will be upgrading to one of the new iMacs this fall, and I think it could replace my television entirely. Provided, that is, that I can hook up my Xbox 360 and my Wii, so I can play them on the iMac screen. Is this possible given the specs of the new iMacs? What hardware and/or software will I need?

I have been contemplating playing without building anything, however I remember the game penalizing you heavily for hunger, food being hard to procure for beginners, tools taking time to make and player trade relying on high-quality items made with high skill levels and good materials. Is playing a homeless vagrant feasible in Wurm, and if so, how does one go about accomplishing this with a new character?

title: VERY confused about elemental damage

text: I've researched this quite extensively but my results seem to be going against the information provided already. Excluding additional benefits such as bonus stats/relics/skill points (etc) my weapons that do "bonus elemental damage" (excluding launchers) seem to do: `Weapon damage x elemental effect (150% flesh/200% corrosive etc) + 2x splash damage (Torque pistol = 100% etc)` So when it comes to, for example, the Torgue pistols with bonus explosive damage it's doing 3x the damage it states on the weapon card and from all my research nobody is boasting that kind of multiplier. Therefore my question is, is my evaluation of the damage of weapons that say bonus elemental damage correct or am I somehow evaluating it incorrectly. Additionally, are there explosive weapons that don't have bonus explosive damage as I only really collect elemental weapons and have neglected to see if there are explosive weapons that don't have bonus explosive damage. These, I'm aware, are really nooby questions but I am a Borderlands 2 noob so any help would be much appreciated. Cheers. p.s. My Maliwan pistol with bonus damage seems to do 100% splash damage (2x) which contradicts this post.


title: How to determine succession laws of one’s neighbours?

I am trying to figure out how to find succession laws in other lands, so that I can marry my daughters off somewhere with matrilineal succession in hope of snatching some titles instead of merely letting others into my dynasty. I had found that in Crusader Kings 2 it is possible to mouse-over the lord of any land and see their laws, but that does not work in CK 1. Is there any clear note of these laws anywhere in the game? Alternatively, is it possible to see if matrilineal succession is in place by examining the list of heirs?

I'm making a light sensor based off of Etho's grass design, and in order to improve its speed, I want to make multiple sensors, and combine their inputs into one. ## SOLUTION Even though QAdley's answer is the solution to my logic table, it doesn't scale well for multiple inputs. Here is my solution using MBraedley suggestion, substituting the light detector for levers. In this picture, each lever has both a rising and falling edge detector. All 4 of the rising edge detectors are joined together to form a single output, and all 4 of the falling edge detectors form another. ![8 Edge Detectors](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sgisz.png) In this second picture, I use the two outputs as inputs into an RS NOR Latch. The only gotcha is that I had to include a repeater with 2 tics to make the reset input pulse long enough to actually make the NOR Latch work. Then I put an inverter at the end to turn the light on when any switch is turned on, and turn the light off when any switch is turned off. ![Nor Latch](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PnQEN.png) Thanks everyone for your help, and if you see anything I can improve, let me know!


title: Minecraft Launcher stuck in restart loop

text: When I click play on the Minecraft launcher while I am on my Forge profile, it will begin to load but then it will reset itself repeatedly. What can I do to fix this? I also have mods and none are from the 1.7.8 or higher, all are from 1.7.2 or lower. I went to the dev console and it said this:               [19:11:42 ERROR]: Game ended with bad state (exit code 1)     [19:11:42 INFO]: Ignoring visibility rule and showing launcher due to a game crash     [19:11:42 INFO]: Deleting C:\Users\Christopher\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions\1.7.2-Forge10.12.1.1061\1.7.2-Forge10.12.1.1061-natives-451559628533801      What can I do?


title: Are there any tricks to help me find all the Animus Data Fragments?

text: I've collected a few of the Animus Data Fragments, but they seem like the feathers in previous games - there are a ton of them, and they're hard to see. I find that without assistance, finding these objects is just too time consuming and irritating. Is there a map or some trick to finding all of them?


title: Any way to change the keyboard layout in Typing of the Dead? Or how to type a "#"

text: I recently read this: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/08/mavis-beacon-ate-my-brain.html I installed the game and having been playing it (awesome game!). I already know how to touch type, but I'm going through the tutorials anyway. The tutorials show a keyboard layout that doesn't match mine. That alone wouldn't be a problem (as I said, I already know how to touch type) but it makes it impossible to type `#`. In the keyboard pictured, the `#` appears just to the left of the `Enter` key instead of above the `3`. And during the tutorials, it doesn't register when I type `Shift-3` (it shows the British pound sign there when I press `Shift`). There doesn't seem to be any way to type a `#`. I guess it thinks I have a different key layout than I do (a British standard keyboard?). Anyway, is there any way to change it to my standard US PC keyboard layout? If not, is there at least some combination of keys I can press so that the game will register `#`?


title: How much health do the various enemies have?

text: Every gun lists the damage it deals and that damage can be increased or decreased by various weapon mods. Most mods increase damage by 2 some by 5 or 10 depending on the weapon. The problem is, I don't know if that is significant. Does increasing the damage of a weapon from 23 to 25 really matter? That is to day, does it take fewer bullets to kill an enemy? I have noticed a difference between very low and very high damage weapons such as a silenced Bernetti (pistol @ 15 damage silenced) compared to the Bronco (revolver @ 60 damage with mods). Is there a damage threshold that you should target when considering what mods to add to a weapon? There are sometimes drawbacks to mods and it would be useful to know if I am losing concealment, stability or accuracy for a useful and effective increase in damage.


title: Why is Dwarf Fortress a huge resource hog?

text: When I'm playing Dwarf Fortress my CPU usage is near 100%. This limits the usage of other applications when I alt-tab out of the game. Why does the game require so much processor usage? Is there a way to turn down some options to reduce the processor usage?
