title: Candy crush saga Level 50

text: After 20 or so tries I finally passed level 50 on candy crush saga, but now I can't move on without paying to unlock new levels or asking friends on Facebook. What's up with that? And the little owl icon said it would "unlock new dreamy content" after I passed level 50 too, but no such luck. What am I missing? I only got one star, is that not a passing grade?


title: Does the XBOX 360 controller have pressure sensitive buttons

text: I am reliving my childhood today with the fantastic Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, and I have noticed that the buttons on my XBOX 360 controller(unlike the buttons on my old Playstation 2 controller) don't seem to be pressure sensitive. This is making aiming my Rifle a nightmare, as I'm either not holding it, or I am shooting bullets everywhere! I think even the original DualShock controller that came out for the original Playstation had pressure sensitive buttons. Does the XBOX 360 controller not have pressure sensitive buttons? Or has the game just been badly ported from the PS2?


title: Giving control of my units

text: How do I give control of my units to another player? I was very much surprised when a teammate gave me control of his units somehow, and didn't have time to ask him how he did it. It's a neat feature!


title: Can you sink Tall Ships?

text: So I'm playing _Moby Dick: The Video Game_, and every now and then a tall ship comes by. For anyone not familiar with that term, I'm talking about the large, masted ships. (In this game, they are the ones that fire cannons at you.) These ships usually kill me, and so far I've been unable to sink any of them, or even knock any sailors out of them. Can they be destroyed at all? If so, how many hits does it take? Do I have to be a certain size before I can destroy them?


title: Besides Whiterun, what is a good starting city for a new character?

text: I'm starting my third character, and looking for a change of pace. I know that the enemy level scaling works differently than in Oblivion - there are real dangers lurking in the wilderness for a low level character, since not everything is scaled down to your level. Other than Whiterun, which cities reachable by carriage offer:   * A surrounding wilderness free of Sabre Cats, Bears, Frost Trolls and the like   * Some nearby camps/dungeons accessible to characters below level 10   * More than one side quest to pursue


title: What makes or breaks a solo AP Mid?

I want to try out for a AP Solo Mid position on a team, but am new to League of Legends and need to know what to practice to improve my game. Does anyone know of a team that is willing to recruit and train new players?

title: Elder Knowledge quest glitch?

text: I just finished talking to Paarthurnax at the Throat of the World and he sent me to find out the location of the Elder Scroll. I went to the University and tried talking to the orc in the library, but the only thing he says is _"Do you think Ancano knew all along what the Eye was capable of?"_ When I press E, no dialog shows up, he just repeats this line over and over. I'm level 11 mage on the University's **Staff of Magnus** quest, but I can't manage to finish it, as the skeletal dragon instagibs me, so I got on the main storyline, but now this... The orc doesn't get up and unlock or give me any books, he just sits there on the little chair doing nothing.


title: In the new Loot 2.0 system, when are a legendary item's stats determined?

text: Blizz have made it so it's much more likely to get items which are relevant to your character. Whilst overall great, I'm now struggling to gear up my followers. If I find a legendary shield with my wizard, identifying it will inevitably lead to a pointless shield full of int. However if I stash it and then ID it with my Barb, will it then have strength and be useful for the templar? When are a legendary item's stats determined, when it drops, or when it is identified?


title: Unable to save files from Space Empires V

text: I recently install Space Empires V via Steam on my Windows 7 x64 machine. It starts up and runs fine, but whenever I try to save a file, whether an empire file or a save game I get an unable to save file error followed by either a crash or a hang. It is currently installed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEmpiresV\SE5. I did not see an option to install the application in user space when C:\Users\xyz\ when installing the game. I also experience the same behavior even after I ran Steam as Administrator. I have checked the Steam forums for the game and no one has reported this issue, and others reported being able to run the app on Windows 7 reasonably well.

title: Why am I getting Error 3003

text: I know this borders on technical support but... An answer given here seems to indicate that Error 3003 represents an error related to not playing in the proper region, although I have the full game and am in the Americas region. What is the actual technical explanation of this error? I get Error 3003 about 50% when I try to play and it results in a very long wait for a timeout after attempting a login before I'm told I have a 3003. Is this just Blizzards way of throttling the number of login attempts made by a single user by closing the connection server side without sending a FIN to the client indicating the connection should be closed?


title: What are the best end-game monsters of each role?

text: As the question states, what are the best end-game monsters to use for each role (e.g. `COM`, `RAV`, `SEN`, etc.), and where can they be obtained? This should be excluding any pre-order specials or content otherwise inaccessible to the general public... If there isn't a clear-cut "winner" for a single role, please post the options and what you gain / lose with each one.


title: What are Omega's Stats?

text: I've been searching but can't locate the statistics for Omega, whom you can tame in the Coliseum boss battle (Amazon.com pre-order bonus). What is his role type? How does he develop (e.g. **Early Learner** , **Late Bloomer** , etc.)? I'm kind of _assuming_ that he'll be a **Late Bloomer** but I suppose you never know... What are his final stats and level after fully leveled up?


title: Is Assassin’s Creed in the Ultimate Collection the Director’s Cut?

text: I am considering buying a copy of the _Assassin’s Creed Ultimate Collection_ but am having trouble determining if the copy of _AC1_ in it is the Director’s Cut or not. (If not, is there an update or something to convert the normal version to the director’s cut?)


title: How can I start a minecart from a dead stop in the middle of a flat track (using redstone)

text: Creating minecart terminal stations are simple, but building minecart substations are more challenging. When a minecart is stopped either by running out of velocity or through a powered redstone brake, how can the cart be restarted? There are obvious solutions to this such as set a solid block behind the cart and power the powered redstone rail, but this doesn't work if the cart is in the middle of a track. You can also put the minecart on a slope with a powered redstone brake and apply power, but this requires the cart to sit on a slope - which is awkward for a player to get into and out of. So on a flat surface in the middle of a track, how do you get a minecart moving again?


title: What do I need to complete my Mass Effect Trilogy collection?

text: I got the Mass Effect Trilogy on PS3 (UPC 014633198065) for Christmas. This came with some DLC content included, but it seems there's still a lot I don't have. The remaining DLC is a little bit confusing, as it seems some items can be bought either individually or as part of certain bundles. So, I'd like to know what is the minimum number of purchases I would need to make to fully complete my Mass Effect Trilogy collection with all DLC?


title: Does "no scoping" do less damage then scoping

text: Specifically in Sniper Rifles, I have noticed that when I "no scope" a target (normally at close range) it appears that the damage I do is significantly less then when I'm scoping a target. This has put me in the habit of actually scoping in no matter the distance. When I "no scope", I normally aim for the chest, being the easiest spot to hit. I decided I would actually make an effort to see if my suspicions were correct. So far it would seem that it definitely does less damage compared to scoping a target for a chest shot as they die easily in one shot, "no scoping" a chest shot usually takes 2 shots with a Black Widow on Bronze difficulty against weaker troops. I did see the question that explained the benefits of headshots versus everything else. Which even "no scoping" a headshot will cause a death to the smaller enemies but definitely not to stronger troops that I easily one shot while scoping. I'm hoping someone else has noticed this besides me or knows if there is something else afoot?


title: How much more productive are Plantations than Farms?

text: The _El Plantador_ DLC for Tropico 4 introduces a new building, the Plantation, that acts as a larger farm, for cash crops only. How much more productive is it? Does it produce more crops-per-worker, or is it simply a farm with a larger number of workers (it has up to 8 farmers, as opposed to a farm's 6)? Does it grow crops faster?


title: Getting stuck trying to get back to the prison on the second runthrough

I find it very difficult to play with only 2 characters, and I'd like to fill the empty slots with AI. I know it must be possible somehow. **EDIT** : The accepted answer works, but the bots don't do anything more than firing (no healing, no welding, nothing). I have to control them to do anything more than just firing. Does anybody know how to solve this?


title: Is there a way to see what bonus objectives I missed?

title: What exactly is Elo and how does my play style affect it?

text: I hear a lot of people talking about Elo, saying things like I need to "build my Elo" or my Elo is horrible. What exactly is it and how does it affect me in a game, if at all? I watched a YouTube video last night and it was called 500 Elo streak but it really didn't make any sense at all. His kill-to-death ratio was not good at all, but he had assists and he said it went up… why? Does it matter whether you win or lose or does it go off your score? Say I'm 6/2/15, but we lost. Will I gain Elo or lose it? Or if I was 2/10/3 but won the game would I gain or lose Elo?

title: For evolving slowly get better creatures or get lots of weak ones

What is the better strategy to get the best power/money ratio.


title: Are there any retail copies of Mass Effect 1 and 2 that don't install SecuROM?

text: I refuse to install SecuROM on principle. I bought Mass Effect 1 and 2 on Amazon for $12. Wikipedia says > More recent versions of Mass Effect on budget prices (those available on EA > classics and Steam) have SecuROM omitted so I'm not sure if it will not have SecuROM or if that just means things like Steam with their own DRM don't have it. Are there any retail copies of Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 which don't include SecuROM when you install? If so, is there any way to know if the copy I have includes SecuROM?

text: Besides a minor tax on memory, I've gathered that triple buffering is always a win-win situation, and that there's little, if any, reason to not use it. Is this the case? Should I just leave D3DOverrider (or Radeon Pro?) permanently running? My system specification is:   * Win 7 x64   * 12GB DDR3   * AMD 7950 3GB


title: What role does the number "77" play?

text: At the beginning of the game, you receive a telegram which tells you to avoid the number 77. Further down the line, during the chapter, you enter a raffle in which the number you pick is 77, and ends up leading to your first "firefight". I'm curious as to whether or not the number 77 plays a role anywhere else? Side question: Who sent the telegram?


title: How did humanity miss the Sol Relay

text: i've been wondering this for a while, Mass Technology was discovered on Mars before the First Contact War which was started after the Mass Relay in the Sol system was activated (Turians encroached on a human colonized world, we fought back) since it would have been unlikely that the Turians would have been unaware of humanity if they moved an active Mass Relay to the Sol System (can not remember if that even possible without Reaper assistance) however, before Mass Technology was found on Mars humanity in Mass Effect was probably doing what we are doing now and that's sending probes into space, using high powered telescopes to look around discovering new planets and such so i am wondering, how did humanity keep missing the Mass Relay in the Sol System

title: Minecraft: Different Amount of Teams Generator

text: I am currently working on a mini game that involves two teams. I'm wondering if I can make a random team generator in Minecraft that varies with the amount of players that are in the game. For example if I had 8 players, I could have the two teams have 4 players on each. But if I had 10 players, I could have 5 players on each team. Can this be done with command blocks? I know how to make teams and assign people to them already with the scoreboard command, but I don't know how I can make a player amount varied team generator. Thanks, TechnoSlamm

title: How can I save a Rhino Tank in my hanger?

text: I want to steal (and not buy) a tank in GTA 5 Story Mode, and I want to keep it permanently. I read here that tanks can be saved in my hangar. I've managed to steal one from the military base and drive it all the way to the hangar. I of course have a 5 star wanted level by the time I get there. I've also managed to put the tank in the hangar and get away in the plane that was already there. **However** , when I came back to enjoy my new tank, it wasn't there. My suspicion is that you can't save anything in the hangar if you have a wanted level. Is that the case? ### Update I realized I could drive to the sewer tunnel opening by the canal, one of the few places big enough to drive the tank in and successfully hide. I did this, and managed to get unwanted again, but when I put my tank in the hangar it didn't stay there. When I came back it was gone. Is it **actually** possible to save tanks in Story Mode?


title: Killing people in skyrim and witnesses vs. bounty

title: Ni No Kuni Errand 78

Online the best recommendation seems to be grinding in Glittering Grotto and trying to random encounter Golden Dragamuffins and Golden Bedraggles then defending till you get a gold glim for Swaine. This is a _lot_ of grinding. Does the wisdom of stack exchange have anything they can offer in addition to minimize my grinding time?

title: Are all zombies created equal?

text: So I like the new zombie models that Terraria 1.2 introduced. They add a wonderful variety to an otherwise very normal mob. But I've noticed a few...differences in each individual zombie. Zombies that have a chest full of arrows seem to always drop wooden arrows for me. Small zombies seem particularly agile. And the zombies with 'nice hair' seem a bit weaker than the rest of the zombies. I've noticed skeletons having different models as well, and even that skeletons with mining hats emit light! Are these different types of the same mob given different attributes? Are some intrinsically 'tougher' or 'stronger' than others? And if so, what ARE the differences between them?

title: Cross-provider video search on XBox 360

text: I'm considering getting an XBox 360, but as I read about the dozens of video- content providers that have been jumping on board over the last few years, I wonder about content silos. Does the XBox have any kind of search that will find specific video content wherever it is (Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBOGo, Paramount, etc.) or do I have to go into each app, do a search, not find what I'm looking for, back out, go into the next one, rinse and repeat? Because that's a big pile of suck. (Originally posted on SuperUser)

Is there a way to shut up the annoying applause from the Saxxy Awards on the main screen? It is driving me insane. I don't want to turn my sound off for it, though.


One of the first talents in the swordsmanship tree is **Riposte** : > Unlocks the ability to counter an opponent's blows. I invested a point into it in my first playthrough, but I never really got it to work. I thought it was a passive effect of blocking, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to be an active ability, but I haven't found out how to actually activate it. How do I use riposte and counter-attack? Does it use up vigor?


title: Is there a correct way to counter a tank marine drop as Zerg?

text: I find that I keep getting destroyed to a tank/marine drop in my mineral line. This generally happens early game before I'm two base saturated and have roach ling bane. (for the obvious MMM deathball from a scout). When you do a scout for Terran initially (10 supply), you can't tell this is going to happen to my knowldege. When I sacrifice an overlord at say 6:30, you still just see a Factory and a Starport. This is still indicative to a MMM push. My question is, do I just blow all my money on static defense and leave my entire army ready to deal with it or is there a better way?

title: Automatically wielding picked up weapons in Borderlands

text: I've only really started playing Borderlands (i'm at level 17) and sometimes when I pick up a new weapon it is automatically wielded by my character even if it's much worse than the one I was currently using. I was wondering if there was a pattern or rule because it seems inconsistent? One occasion was particularly annoying when I picked up a shotgun with no ammo during a firefight and subsequently died trying to switch guns.

I really dont want to spend more then 200, and I would like to keep it around 150. * ** _UPDATE_ **** Went out and got a PNY GeForce GTX 460 it was right within my budget at $179. Works awsome! can run the game at 1080p and on all high settings and it runs and looks great!


title: How can I survive the dark tower in Tower of the Sorcerer?

text: I've managed to finish the first part of the Tower of the Sorcerer game more than once, but each time I am ridiculously underpowered when entering the 2nd, "dark" tower. Sometimes even the first monster kills me, but even on my best try I was stopped in a pretty early level by unbeatable (for me) monsters. My question is, how can I be strong enough when finishing the first tower for taking on the 2nd one? I realize the game is actually a large logic puzzle, not really an RPG, and I'm guessing there must be some route which solves this problem.

title: How smart are enemies on Hardened and Veteran difficulty on MW3 Campaign?

text: I have been playing the campaign on normal difficulty, and even now, at times, I find myself reading war-related quotes. I can imagine that enemies react faster and are much more accurate with increasing difficulty level. What I really want to know is, the single-player experience is pretty linear and the enemies monotonous. They just don't move much and stare at you a long while before registering you stand right ahead I'd like to see a bit more intelligence and tactics, like the Half Life marines. While some would suppress me with fire and nades, trying to get me out of my hide, others would try to flank me. Is this what I am going to see when I up the difficulty to Hardened or Veteran, or am I going to just get shot faster from farther distances?


title: Does one city have to pay for the entire Great Work?

text: When you start a Great Work, can every city contribute to the cost, or is it limited to only one city's contributions? **EDIT:** I'm looking to see if the initial cost in simoleon can be shared between the cities, or if one city has to pay for it all.


title: How do Banners get Caculated for "Today's Events"

text: Today's Events are 24-48 hour PVP events within the game that give increasingly better rewards for earning more "banners". Sometimes I'll find players on level 60+ with a single common hero on their team worth 20 banners. Other times, I'll see a team full of legendary heroes, and it's only worth 10 banners. Any idea how it determines how many banners defeating a particular player is worth?


title: Why is Soraka not a viable AP middle?

text: I've been playing a lot of Soraka middle and have really been enjoying it. Your Q does decent damage early game and your E is free and does great damage with Q stacks. Her W is a decent heal and her R can save anyone from across the map, providing not only utility but damage. Early game, the Q does push the lane, but I've never really had the much of a problem with a gank. I can usually silence the jungler before any CC occurs and if I must, flash out while spamming Q. I understand that she would probably need an AP top to do the "burst" damage (ie as E is single target and Q only does so much damage), but other than that, why is she not a viable mid? Also, if I said anything incorrectly, just nicely fix it. <3

title: Are Pro versions of perks automatically applied when unlocked in the middle of a match?

text: During a match, I saw the message "Assist Counts As Kill". I was using the **standard** Hardline perk which provides access to killstreaks one kill earlier. **At the end** of the match, the game informed me that I had unlocked the Hardline Pro perk which adds the bonus "every two assists count as one kill towards your killstreak." Is this what I saw earlier in the match or are there situations (i.e. you do 95% of the damage) where assists always count as kills?


Back in Europe I have a N64 console. As I am currently living in Japan, I find myself tempted to buy some old N64 games in Japanese.

After killing all of the enemies and using the last of my Fate to end the battle in an exorbitant display of power, I looted one of the bandits. Among the loot was something called "Essence of Fate." I looked for it in my inventory, but wasn't able to find it _anywhere._ **What do these essences do?**


title: Is it possible to create a portal through another portal in Co-op?

text: With the introduction of the co-op levels I thought it would open up the possibility to send one of my portals through my partner's already established portals. This would allow me to create a portal in a place that might not be accessible otherwise. I think the game is capable of supporting this behavior but when I tried it (and I have tried many times during the co-op game) all it ever did was ruin one of my partner's portals. Are there special test chambers where this is allowed? I have not finished all of them yet.


title: How often can I pay to train skills?

title: For Plants vs Zombies, is there a way to continue a "Survival: Endless" game (on iPad)?

text: Is there a way to continue a "Survival: Endless" game? I am up to flag 27, but carelessly lose the level... Do I have to start all over from flag 1 to flag 27 again? That's very tiring! ( **Update:** actually, I thought of a way on PC or Mac, which is to install the game on a virtual PC, so we have a "snapshot" of the hard drive. We can just quit the game, and save any number of copies of the virtual hard drive, and be able to start the game as on that drive's image.... but probably we can save some data file instead of the whole hard drive). At flag 27, I forgot to include a Coffee Bean to wake up Ice-Shroom and Doom- Shroom and the Gargantuar and Giga-Gargantuar will end the level right there -- even invoking the Lawn Mowers first, and then a second wave wil end the game. I usually pack the Lily Pad, Doom-Shroom, and Coffee Bean first, and then Ice-Shroom and an Imitator Ice-Shroom, but sometimes I have to do repair work and then forgot to pack something. I am playing the iPad version (version 1.9.4 as of June 2012). The set up I am using is the cobless one: (by the way, what is the "white flower" on the ground at the right side of the lawn?)

title: Xbox 360 with 3 red lights

text: My Xbox 360 is dead. I've been googling for a week, asking on the official Xbox forums, and calling to the Xbox support phone, but **I still don't know if I need to repair the console or only the power supply** (they're both still under the warranty period). These are the symptoms:   * Front ring: **3 red lights** , blinking.   * Power supply LED: with the console off, it's orange (as it should be). When I turn on the console, it becomes green... but just for a second, and then goes back to **orange**. It does not blink.   * No console activity at all: there is no video, the disk tray doesn't work, the fans are not running... I've followed the steps shown here to determine the _secondary error code_. In my case, **0001** , which apparently means "possible power supply problem". That's the same diagnostic given by the online troubleshooting wizard on the Xbox support page. However, when I called the official support phone, they told me that what needs to be repaired is my console, not the power supply. Who's wrong? The call center guy, or the Internet? Has anybody had these exact symptoms? How did you solve it? Was it the console or the power supply? By the way, it's a Xbox 360 Elite (september 2009), just in case it makes any difference.


title: View optional mission objectives during a mission?

text: Most missions in GTA5 have optional mission objectives. Completing them or not determines what medal you receive at the end of the mission (gold, silver, bronze). So far I have found it quite frustrating to complete a mission only to be told that I didn't get gold because I didn't "headshot 10 bikers" or because I "wrecked my vehicle". Is it possible to view the optional objectives during a mission? I've had a quick look around on the in-game menus, but haven't found anything so far.

Is there any point to leaving them alive, is there any penalty for killing them? Basically will killing them or not killing them have any affect at all on the game?

I can usually get a few kills before I'm overwhelmed, I die, and then I rush right back into it. I'm wondering what happens to that XP that I gained from the kills before I died. **Does it apply instantly, or only at the end of a misson ?**. Alternatively, the question could also be phrased " **Is it to my long-term benefit to die many times per mission so that I can grind XP for killing the same creeps over and over when I restart?** "

Is it the same for each pokemon species, or does each individual 'mon have a special spot they like rubbed?


title: Does Roller Blading count as a step in all cases where number of steps matter (like for hatching an egg)?

text: Running, the Bicycle and walking all use the classic 'grid' movement (even the new diagonal movement is still based on the grid). The Rollerblades do not follow the grid. You are in a free-moving state instead. Do they still count towards steps?

title: How to get rid of bugs in Revenant?

text: The old Revenant game had its share of bugs. Some of them were non-critical, but annoying (e.g. if you had a mana-boosting item equipped, after loading a save the mana pool state wasn't restored correctly). However some were bad to the point of being game-breaking: namely, combos and item interactions.   There were sequences where one had to perform a combo to 'learn' it. I sometimes managed it (by accident), but most of the time the game simply didn't register them. Is there some way to fix this problem? I haven't found any working hacks, official or unofficial fixes or patches, nothing.


title: Do I have to go to London if I want to look cool? Or can I buy cosmetic clothing anywhere else?

text: I'm playing as a member of the Illuminati, and I've noticed that New York is... well, there's a lot of things wrong with New York but among those things is a distinct lack of _shopping_ opportunities. In London I can buy tacos from a horrific monster, securely store my things in a bank vault, and even interact with the outside world by the modern miracle that is a 'postal service'. Most importantly though, in London, I can hob-nob with the fashionable set, and buy all manner of new duds for my conspiracy-unraveling Magic Gumshoe. After all, if the world is coming to an end, I might as well try to stop it _in style_ , right? However London is big, and inconvenient, and full of Templars (who smell funny). Can I get that stuff that's being sold in London (or other equally stylish stuff) anywhere else? Is there a clothing vendor I just haven't found somewhere in New York or Seoul, or is London just inexplicably _better_ than the other two faction capitals?

title: Is it considered "cheating" to use Player Levitation?

text: In Trine 2, when you host a game, you have options for Player Levitation: ![Player Levitation options](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hVmxJ.jpg) With it Off, it means that a player can't jump on an item (eg. a conjured box) and then be levitated by Amadeus. With that consideration in mind, it seems like turning this option on would make puzzles considerably easier. Me and my friend played through with this option off, making use of mid-air boxes that he would quickly hop onto and jump off of in order to grab difficult-to-reach experience items. We did so with the notion that levitation would make it too easy (we used the same logic for choosing Classic over Unlimited). However, every public game I've played has had Player Levitation turned on to Friend. This made things considerably easier when, for example, a player's foot was barely on an object that I wanted to lift. It also allowed us to grab experience orbs that I didn't even know existed. Were we just making it too hard on ourselves?

title: What determines the glow color/particle effects of a weapon?

text: How are the particle effects (green glow, dark-reddish cloud, dripping blood, lightning, etc.) on weapons in _Diablo III_ determined? Right now I have 2 one-handed weapons equipped, and both have a red dripping blood effect. One is a sword, the other is a spear. One does holy damage while the other does poison damage. One has a ruby socketed, while the other an amethyst. The only common ground between the two is that they are very high in dexterity. Could any of these factors determine glow color? Is it randomly assigned just like weapon and armor stats?

title: How can I detonate my chicken?

text: The Witch Doctor "Hex" skill as a rune "Angry Chicken" where I can temporarily transform my corporeal form into that of a deadly exploding chicken. Fun, right? However, I can't seem to figure out how to make my chicken explode. He just sort of stands there, or flaps about. Clicking on things doesn't seem to make anything interesting happen - not even a tentative peck. I thought maybe I exploded when the time ran out, but I just sort of poofed back into my normal form instead. The tooltips for the skill and rune are no help. How can I unleash my mighty chicken wrath upon my enemies?

title: Spiral Knights Account Conversion

text: Just today, I entered my Spiral Knights password. I have no progress on it whatsoever (it's brand new), but my Steam account already has progress (look at my Steam inventory). It then asks me if I want to convert my account over to Steam. Naturally, I clicked 'No thanks' since I didn't want my current progress to be overwritten. Does anyone know how conversion works? Does it:   * Completely overrides your Steam progress (save file),   * Merges* progress between the two accounts or   * Copies the profile with the knight that has progressed the furthest? Merges = Adds Crystal Energy balances, places all knights (or the three/four with the most progress), mails all deleted knights' unbounded items for the user to reclaim etc. (Just guessing) Steam Community Thread (also by me): http://steamcommunity.com/app/99900/discussions/0/616187839311693391/


title: Are weapon modifiers in Borderlands 2 applied before or after the displayed stats?

If a weapon has, for instance, 200 damage, and a modifier that says "+20% weapon damage", does that mean that the weapon actually has 240 damage or that the weapon had 166 damage before the mod was applied? * * * The answer to this question sort of answers the question for Borderlands, but I'm still not sure in Borderlands 2.

The Capstone Perk in the tree, Dragon Smithing, has "feed-in" lines from both Glass Smithing and Daedric Smithing. Do I need to need to take Glass Smithing **and** Daedric Smithing if I want to learn the Dragon Smithing perk? Either or? Neither (as long as I have 100 smithing)?

title: When does Skulls of the Shogun save?

text: I downloaded Skulls of the Shogun yesterday and sat down and played it for about 5 or 10 minutes. I got possibly halfway through the first "level" before I had to quit the game. As I had seen the game say several times "Saving Game" I thought - no problem, I'll just keep playing when I come back again, and shut it down. When I tried to load the game this morning the level was restarted. So, my question is: when does the game save really? Do I have to complete each level before it's completely saved? It should be noted that I play on Xbox 360.


title: Can an artifact be awarded to multiple characters on the same Marvel Heroes account?

text: Can a Mission Reward artifact be awarded to multiple characters on the same account in Marvel Heroes? I earned the S.H.I.E.L.D. Motion Tracker artifact with my first character and I really like the bonuses it gives. Now that I've unlocked a second character, I'd like to use that artifact on the new character too. Unfortunately, the artifact bound to my first character when it was equipped, so I can't just transfer it. I've tried going back to the S.H.I.E.L.D Recon Post in Madripoor to talk to Agent Woo with the new character (which is how I got the artifact with the first character), but the artifact wasn't awarded a second time. I also tried talking to Maria Hill at Avengers Tower, since she's the NPC who originally assigned the mission to find Agent Woo in Madripoor, but she doesn't assign that mission to the new character. Is there any way to get a mission assigned or to get a reward artifact with a second character on the same account?


title: Stuck in Shadowrun Returns NTSB Warehouse Part 2

While I was fighting the first group, one of the mercs randomly takes off running and enters a side room, sealing himself in behind a door that I can't open. I killed every other merc on the entire map and I can't find a key or any other way to open the door. And I can't get out of combat mode until he dies. So basically I am perma-stuck unless I load a savegame, or unless I'm missing something. Any tips?

title: What causes the game to skip the Nerevarine/Hortator portion?

text: One time when i was playing Morrowind, i went to get the disease immunity as apart of the main plot line so that way i could go out exploring/doing quests without having to worry about not having potions of spells to cure disease (or being turned into a Vampire), but i held off doing the next part of the main quest line which would see me get Moon-and-Star because i remember the Nibani Maesa saying i be marked an enemy of the Imprials or something like that and i had wanted to do their quests. After spending a lot of time exploring and questing i thought it'd get the ring, but when i spoke to Nibani Maesa she told me to go right to Vivec, following the instructions i ended up meeting Vivec himself and he seem to imply i was taking too long and named me Nerevarine/Hortator and then went onto what he normally talks about (the plan for me to assault Red Mountain), effectively skipping out what i see as a huge part of the game. So i am wondering what caused this (provably x days having pasted) and if there is a point in the game where i can quest/explore at my leisure but not have to worry about the Nerevarine/Hortator part being forcefully skipped (because Ashlander camps and that Wizard based Great House are dotted around the east i tend to spend a lot of time exploring the west before walking over to the east, discovering each place/doing quests as i pass though)

title: How do I optimally use the Ion weapons (Ion Blast, Ion Blast Mark II, Heavy Ion)?

text: I would like to know how to optimally use the Ion weapons ((Ion Blast, Ion Blast Mark II, Heavy Ion). ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zfqTf.png) With that goal in mind, I have these questions: How long does each Ion weapon disable an enemy ship system? This is so I can know if it is optimal to regularly change room targets with an Ion weapon to disable two systems or more at the same time (if Ion weapons can disable a system for a long amount of time), or if it is better to keep it locked on at a single room to keep that room's system disabled at all times (if Ion weapons only disable systems for a brief period). Also, it is described to be able to "hit and disable shields as well as systems". Does this mean that I have to target the enemy shield system room to be able to disable the shields of the whole enemy ship? Or does this mean that any enemy ship room I attack will be treated as if that room has its shield disabled?

title: Is "+attack speed" more beneficial to fast weapons?

text: I've read through various existing "attack speed" related questions - notably this one and this one and this one. However, I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I have two similar DPS weapons, but one has a significantly higher attack speed. I know that the attack speed is factored into the DPS stat of the weapon, but I'm curious whether one of those weapons will benefit more from increased attack speed from other items and abilities. For example, given a 1000 DPS dagger and a 1000 DPS axe, will the dagger (faster) benefit more from increased attack speed (from gloves, Frenzy, etc)? Or will the two weapons benefit equally?

title: Detailed instructions for iPhone version of C&C - Red Alert?

text: I'm playing through the iPhone version of "Command And Conquer - Red Alert". I've played older variants of C&C on other platforms so I know generally how RTS games work. But what I cannot seem to figure out is some specific controls for some units - in particular, I'm on a level that asks me to use an engineer to blow up a bridge, but I have no idea how to use an engineer to do anything but capture enemy buildings (and that I had to figure out for myself). Nor can I find the point of some buildings like a defense center. Since the in-game guide is very basic and does not answer these questions, I was hoping there was an on-line manual somewhere that described what is going on in more detail - either from EA or someone else. Are there sites I can visit for a real manual?

So, I give near random shots focusing on an enemy bot's leg then shots to the body or head. This is savvy, but will it help in multiplayer? Because in multiplayer, I'm all broke. Do I need to practice on it more or should I focus on heads alone? Also, please give me some tips for improving aiming.

title: How can I boost my life and mana?

text: In Diablo II, if I don't have enough life, I can increase my vitality. If I don't have enough mana, I can increase my energy. In Torchlight, there doesn't seem to be a way to directly increase life or mana, unless I've missed something. Have I? And if not, then what _is_ the best way to improve life and mana stats in Torchlight?


title: How can I determine the effective Protection from a shield?

text: Is the block % and block absorption of a shield included in the calculated Protection value for that shield? If not, is there an easy way to determine which shield will provide better average damage mitigation between one with higher armor and one with better blocking?


title: Dwarf Fortress: Protecting Dwarves During an Attack

text: I'm still a bit of a novice with DF and had my first real experience with Fun the other day. I working away building some beds, setting some traps, farming, etc when a horde of undead goblins appeared and lumbered toward my fortress. A few were caught in cage traps, some were chewed up by weapon traps but they were too much and entered my fortress. As soon as they were inside almost ALL of my dwarves rushed them and started attacking which, as you can imagine, ended poorly. Next time I'm attacked how can I prevent my worker dwarves from trying to attack? Was is just because I lacked much of a military? How do you keep your dwarves away from the attackers?


title: Where is the Black Market Auction House?

text: In Mists of Pandaria, Blizzard have added a Black Market Auction House to the game, in order to purchase items that are otherwise hard to get or no longer available by normal methods in game. Where in the game world is the Black Market Auction House located, is it faction specific, and are there any requirements in order to be able to use it?


title: Speed vs Brain: What matters?

text: What I ask myself is what counts more in StarCraft II? Is it a well balanced strategy (e.g. I know my opponent will get a lot of zerglings only, so I build a Colossus to roast his units) or is it the speed - the perfect timing and hitting of the correct buttons and the use of a perfect hotkey system? I mean is it important to click as fast and precisely as you would do in a FPS or is the strategy the more important aspect? Couldn't figure it out, I had matches where I mad many "mistakes" but won with a good strategy, vice versa the same.


title: League system and Elo rating system

text: When I was reading about LoL I found also lots of information about about Elo hell. But here I read that after season 3 elo system was replaced by other system. I have two questions:   1. Does the elo hell still exists? I mean, does the new system still have something similar to elo hell?   2. Is there any situation that you need to create new account because it is too hard to get to upper division with old account?


title: Are there any rewards for collecting all ampersands in Type Rider?

text: I just finished playing the artistic platform Type Rider, but the platforming part was too frustrating to me. This means I didn't go back to collect everything that there was to collect, such as the ampersands. Do they unlock anything, aside from a Steam achievement?


title: Stuck on last puzzle of Level 7 in Vim Adventures

text: The puzzle, with two moves to solve, is: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/B8XIB.png) My keyboard is: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FQ0h5.png) The nature of the puzzle dictates I get to the second `(` in a single move so that I can expend my last one moving up. (For those familiar with `vim` but not the game, my starting square is the yellow highlighted `-`.) This level is mostly about the `f`/`F`, `t`/`T`, `;` and `,` keys. The ability to recall `f`/`F` and `t`/`T` commands with `;` and `,` persists in between attempts and puzzles. Clearly I'm supposed to enter in some command, retry the puzzle, and back- peddle to the second `(` with `,` but I can't find a command that takes me there. I thought `t``3` would do the trick but when I rerun it with `,` it places me on the first `*` for some reason. I would also expect `T``3`; `;` to work but I meet with the same fate.
