title: Is there a definitive 'Best Weapon' for each weapon type in Skyrim?

text: So I was wandering up to the forge in Whiterun with my Ebony Ingots, Daedra Heart and other assorted bits and pieces in hand. I started to go through the process of smithing out my lovely new one-handed Daedric sword, but then I got thinking; is there even any point to me making this? Is there already a better weapon out there that will have more damage (even after I improve it with my 100 smithing, smithing improvement potions and my smithing outfit with Fortify Smithing encantments). With all the available enchantments, ability to improve weapons via smithing, and skill improvement potions, is there still a definitive list of 'best' weapons in the game?

title: How do I complete the Montreal mission without killing any guards?

text: I can't figure out how I could complete the Montreal mission without killing guards. They all stay together so if I stun one they wake him back up. I tried a YouTube search but didn't see anyone do it there either. Any tips? The only thing I could think was to use invisibility a lot.


title: Do you earn XP for partial matches in Titanfall?

text: When playing Titanfall matches (campaign, if that makes any difference), if you quit before the end of a match do you still keep any earned XP? Or is it lost? I was able to play last night, but only for about 6 minutes; but during those 6 minutes I did really, really well! However I had to quit immediately when the baby woke up...


title: Since patch 1.1, are Hydras more viable against Terran?

text: I have played only one game as Zerg since the new patch, and i used a lot of hydras to win. Against me a Terran with 15 marines, 15 marauders, 3 tanks and 2 thors (I guess). Anyway, I have made a few roaches with the hydras, and i thought "man, with the marauders and the tanks, you are just giving him free kill by using roaches". So my question is: should I use hydras as the basis of my army? The bonus of tank and marauders won't apply, and hellions should not be too problematic... Can an army of hydras and speedlings can be enough to handle a powerful Terran army? What do you think about it? ps: I am not into that baneling thing :(


title: What's wrong with doing a carrier rush?

text: Just had a 2 on 2 coop game vs hard ai with a friend of mine. It was ZnP(me) vs TnP. At first, I transitioned to 2-gate and we both defended the center with some minor hit n run micro with my few stalkers + his zergling swarm. Having fended off the inital AI attack, I then tried to transition to a couple of void rays and tried to do in the zerg, but had to retreat since he already had some mutas and hydras when my Void ray arrived(yeah i'm slow sorry about that). Anyway, I didn't know what to do after mid-game so I just did what I usually did in SC1: mass carriers. There I was sitting with lots a gold so I just built some proxy bases + 2 more gateways(for continuous supply of stalkers) and just spammed the carriers. We eventually won the game but now I heard he's complaining I did a carrier rush. What's wrong with doing a carrier rush? I know I could've gone immortals and colossi but I still haven't got used to the BO for those and carriers were a bit 'easier' to transition after void rays. What did I do wrong?


Is there an easy way to select a specific number of one type of unit out of a group? What I mean is, say I have 10 Stalkers in a group, I want to select 4 of them and have them go check something out. I have to hold shift and click 4 of them individually or draw a box. Sometimes during a battle though or when timing is critical this can be very clumsy as the units could be running all over and be mixed in with other units. Is there any way that I could say, hold some key combination and simply single click the same unit repeatedly and with each click it would add another nearby unit of that same type to my selection? Or something like that?


title: In Civ5, when you have access to iron, does it make sense to build musketmen?

text: Technology upgrade tree looks like this:               |Steel          |    |Gunpowder   |     |- Longswordman |    |- Musketman |     |  cost 150     |    |  cost 120  |     |  str: 18      | => |  str: 16   |     |  mov: 2       |    |  mov: 2    |     |  req: steel   |    |  req: -    |      Therefore, at first glance I thought that since the Musketman is a unit for a later technology it would be "better". But it appears that as long as I _can_ build longswordmen and have the _time_ to build them, I should not spend maintenance on musketmen. Am I correct? What about upgrade paths?


title: Which units should I develop when I don't want to build airbases in R.U.S.E

I have found out that the AI likes to bomb my heavy mobile artillery, and even 4 heavy AA can't stop such attack before it's too late. So I removed artillery from my strategy.

title: Stuck in Tenpenny's Tower

text: I went to Tenpenny's Tower and tried to use diplomacy to let the ghouls in. After several attempts I was stuck, so I decided to let them in the rough way. I opened the basement passage and went to take a look at the carnage. Before the ghouls slayed everyone, I was trying to enter my room but I was told that it wasn't safe to enter at that moment. After the ghouls slayed everyone, I was trying to enter my room (I have found one or two keys for it) but I was told that I needed a key. I gave up on that, but I wanted at least _some_ reward from Roy, and I discovered him laying dead on the floor of the main hall. Can I still get a reward for the mission?

title: Is it feasible to play a MagiSassin(tm) in Skyrim?

text: In previous Elder Scrolls games, I played a "dual class" mage (specializing in destruction and restoration, although I dabbled a bit in conjuration and illusion) and thief/assassin with bonuses to sneaking, light armor, and small weapons. The leveling system in Oblivion kind of made this tricky though, since I often had to live with weak magic attributes if I went stealthy through a section of the game, thereby leveling many stealth and weapon skills, I'd end up weak as a mage. This question seems to indicate that the two classes work sufficiently well together, but will I miss out on any good late game abilities due to this choice? Will monsters eat me for breakfast if I start the game with this intent? Are there any perks or stats that I should aim for early? Further, are there any quests that I will be locked out of if I want to complete all of the Thief, Assassin, and Mage quest lines? (ie, people I have to kill for one that I need to talk to in the other, etc)

title: How does ranking adjustment in Wii Sports Boxing work?

text: The ranking adjustment system in Wii Sports Boxing confounds me. My current ranking is in the 800s, and the opponents pitted against me by the game are ranked from 900 to over 1000. I regularly beat the higher-ranked CPU opponent - sometimes by KO, sometimes not - but most of the time it results in my ranking score slightly decreasing. This doesn't make sense to me at all!

title: Does my city really need polluting industries?

title: How can I claim a duchy from an unrelated courtier, and keep the duchy in my kingdom?

text: In Crusader Kings II, there tends to be a motley collection of people with a claim on some particular duchy or county. You can press such a claim by inviting one of these people to court, which will allow you to declare war on the current holder of the title; if you win the war, then the guy with the claim gets the title (and loves you dearly). Of course, going to war just to hand a title to somebody else is no fun, unless they end up as one of your vassals once the war is over. I've found a good way to bring counties into your kingdom: give that courtier a county (so he becomes your vassal), and then, once the war ends, the courtier-you-promoted-to-count will still be your vassal, and that new county will become part of your kingdom. My question is, **How does this work for duchies?** If I give the courtier a county (so he becomes my count), then will he be my duke once the war ends? Or will he decide that he's going to take his duchy and become independent? Do I need to give him a duchy if I want him to be my duke after the war? **How can I press a courtier's claim for a duchy and make sure that duchy becomes part of my kingdom?**

title: Do early workers really have an exponential effect?

text: Commentators such as HD sometimes mention that a worker advantage in the early game is of extreme importance since it has an "exponential effect" (here's an example video which mentions that at the start). While I agree workers have a large impact in the early game, it seems to me that   1. Worker production rate is usually capped by building/larva limits rather than mineral balance, so losing an early worker or two doesn't necessarily mean the next workers will be produced slower.   2. I always thought that in the late game it doesn't really matter if one player have a couple of workers more, when the workers already count in the dozens. So it seems to me the impact of having an early worker disadvantage doesn't have an increasing effect - just losing a more-or-less fixed amount of money for the lost mining time. If anything, it has the most effect on the early game, where every single unit matters. Could somehow explain what is the true impact of early worker disadvantage, and why do people say it's exponential?

title: How does extra damage or extra intelligence come into play?

text: I understand how the spell damage mechanics work well. But it seems that even though there are many advantages to have a slow weapon as a wizard (since you spend less arcane power per hit and can benefit from 1 time hits), I would like to know if the following is an advantage towards the high attack speed side: Having a spellbook gives a flat increase of (i.e.) +3-5 damage. Does this increase the range of your primary damage to +3-5? If so, then since this isn't a percent increase, have a high attack speed benefits from such items, isn't it so? Considering the alternative, I have a shield that could provide 20 intelligence, which translates to 20% more damage by spells. If my current damage totals to 20 DPS, with 10-30 damage at attack speed 1 per second, then the shield yields 12-36 damage, hence 24 DPS. Using the spellbook instead of the shield would yield 13-35 damage, hence again 24 DPS. But if I had attack speed 2 per second, and damage to be 5 - 15 (giving again 20 DPS), my shield would give 6 - 18 damage, thus 12 DPS, but the spellbook would give 8 - 20, hence 14 DPS. Is this correct or am I missing anything? Thanks * * * _(edit)_ Answer: As per the video below, it's clear that the flat damage increase can benefit in larger DPS when applied to a high attack speed, making it a valuable option instead of a 2H weapon.

At first it would seem that having many stockpiles causes the workers who need resources to travel further to get it while barely lowering the labourers' walking distances at all.


title: What enchantments can books have?

text: Since books can now be enchanted in Minecraft 1.4.6, I haven't been able to find much information on how their enchantments work. I know you can enchant a book and then later apply that enchantment to another item using an Anvil, but I'm still unclear as to the actual enchantments that books can receive.   * Can they receive all the enchantments that are possible on other items?    * Can they receive more than one enchantment like some other items?    * Since enchantments have different chances of occurring for different tools, materials, and at different levels, how are those probabilities different for books?


title: What are Pivots for?

text: So I've completed the game now and am at 99% Animus DB complete. I did the two Epilogue missions and then got a mission icon in Boston. I zoned into Boston and the game loaded, then immediately went back to the loading screen. After it had loaded I was in what appeared to be the middle of a conversation with a character I don't recognise who was talking about Pivots. They neglected to tell me who they were, what the pivots were for or anything. Then after that I had a bunch of message coming up telling me that the 'Weather change hack unlocked' along with something like 'Man of steel hack'. Now I have these glowing horse things which I can place on the map, but I've no idea what they are, what they are for or how they work. To add to this when looking at the Pivot part in the map there seems to be a timer on this which is counting down continually. Does anyone know what my objective is with the part of the game please?


title: How is dodge chance calculated in Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls?

text: I know the dodge chance calculation had been modified in RoS. I've seen many Demon Hunters with 8000+ dexterity. The old formula will get >100% dodge chance which doesn't make sense. eg. A demon hunter has a dexterity of 8943. The battle.net profile page as of today (4/16/2014) still seems to use the old formula and shows this 109.43% dodge chance. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8vkjp.png) In game, it shows a correct dodge chance, but what's the new formula then? BTW, the old formula in Diablo 3 is               if (Dexterity <= 100)       DodgeChance = Dexterity * 0.001;     else if (Dexterity <= 500)       DodgeChance = (Dexterity - 100) * 0.00025 + 0.1;     else if (Dexterity <= 1000)       DodgeChance = (Dexterity - 500) * 0.0002 + 0.2;     else if (Dexterity <= 8000)       DodgeChance = (Dexterity - 1000) * 0.0001 + 0.3;     else       DodgeChance = 1;      plus some skill dodge chance bonus.

title: Are stats outside of your primary worth getting at all?

text: In Diablo 3 each class has a primary stat that increases all their damage. They also seem to have very minor side benefits such as a bit of dodge for dex, however the amount of dex a barb would need to make this valuable seems to be a pull from focusing on Strength (or vitality). Is there any situations where it would warrant wanting stats that are not your primary?


title: What are the properties of each stat point?

text: I know in Diablo III you can no longer assign your attributes, and I know there are four attributes present in the game:   1. Strength   2. Vitality   3. Dexterity   4. Intelligence **What are the stat bonuses from each point assigned to each attirbute?** For example, I know strength adds to a Barbarians damage. I want to be able to know at a glance when dealing with items that add + to stats what they will be doing for my character and what stats I should be looking for based on builds I may be thinking of.

title: Which abilities can be cancelled by Lulu's Polymorph?

text: Lulu's Polymorph changes the enemy into a squirrel for a few seconds, slowing them down, and also preventing them from attacking and using abilities. ![example of polymorph](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bPl2G.jpg) It seems to cancel some abilities, like Death Lotus from Katarina, or Warwick's ultimate. However, there are a lot of other abilities which are not cancelled, and keep going even during the polymorph. This leads to strange effects, like for example a squirrel running after you with a circle of fire around him (Mundo) or a sword spinning (Garen). It also doesn't cancel Fiddlestick's ultimate, once he teleported. You would expect someone changed as a squirrel to be unable to do such things. So what exactly can and can't be cancelled by Lulu's Polymorph?

text: Guys I request to please read the question first before jumping to the conclusion that the play disc must NOT be installed. I got a brand new Xbox 360 Slim 4 GB, and a new GTA 5 game. The first disc installed perfectly on a pen drive but the second disc is unreadable. Sometimes it runs, many times it doesnt. With so many users getting the same problem, I really dont think there is some problem with my Xbox. But if it is, I would not mind giving it to the service center. Please suggest.


title: I accidentally said "no" to the reporter in the Citadel, can I change my mind?

text: I was approached by a reporter in the Citadel who was asking to join me aboard the Normandy and report what was going on. I don't remember her name, but I think she was wearing a white tank top. On accident (actually the Kinect heard my wife saying "No" to her mother on the phone) I told her that I didn't want her to come aboard and she disappeared. I got to thinking that she will probably help my cause in the war effort and I would like her to come aboard, but she vanished! Is there anywhere that I can find her and ask her to come aboard?


title: How can I modify Civ 5 for a longer opening and midgame and shorter endgame?

text: Whenever I play Civ 5 I notice that it is fun in the beginning (expanding/building) and in the midgame (fighting) but then follows a very long boring endgame. Unfortunately Civ 5 is by default configured such that the beginning (bronze age, early iron age) is over very quickly (apparently soldiers in the bronze age arrived at the gates of the enemy town centuries after the war began), the midgame is over still to quickly and the endgame (after 1500) takes forever. This is very annoying. What will I have to change to fix this?


title: How do I interpret the "grenade warning" indicator?

text: When someone lobs a grenade in my direction, I get a little warning icon on my HUD. However, I've never been able to determine how severe the danger is - sometimes I lose almost all my shields and many of my bars of health, and other times I barely take damage when it goes off. Is there some information encoded in the warning icon that would tell me how close the grenade is, and how I should react to it?

I would prefer to use redpower gates or something similar instead of bare redstone to keep it more compact.


title: Cooldown reset when deploying Heat Sink mod?

text: Yesterday, I hacked a portal, deployed a Heat Sink mod on it (there were no other mods), then hacked it again to see how long it would now take to cool down. To my surprise, the second hack (at most 20 seconds after the first) succeeded! So it looks like deploying a Heat Sink _immediately_ resets the Cooldown timer. Is this a known technique? A bug? New?

title: How can I avoid mobs spawning inside my house while I sleep?

text: The latest Minecraft update now has beds, which is very nice for the first few nights of the game while you establish a mob-resistant area that you can work in during the night. For reference, you sleep in a bed during the nighttime and it fast-forwards to daylight. My problem is that I've put down a bed, and every time I sleep in it I get woken up by mobs _inside my house_. I've made sure it's very light, darkened it a bit - tried a few combinations but no luck. What am I missing? How can I avoid having mobs spawning inside my house every time I try and get some sleep?


title: How do I construct a safe sleeping area in 1.5 version?

text: Since 1.5 old rules for safe sleeping are no longer working. What are the new rules? With the addition of weather, sleeping in bed is much more important and old rules for safe placements of beds no longer work (mob always spawns when sleeping is attempted). I can't find any information about the new rules.

title: Do the 'Augment X' skills affect 'X-Touched' damage?

text: I am doing my 5thish playthrough of Tactics Ogre and for something different have Denam set up as a Rune Fencer. I have him with Divine Magic, a spear and Augment Light. I typically get someone to cast Instill Light on him, which will mean his Augment Light skill is raised slightly whenever he hits one or two enemies with his spear. I am curious whether the Augment Light skill will increase the Light-Touched damage as it levels up, or if it's always the same amount (it seems to be a percentage of the weapon damage currently, maybe 25%).


title: Change a Mass Effect keybinding for vault?

text: I find it very annoying that the run, hide, and vault are all the same button. I can't tell you how many times I have been trying to unhide so I could backpedal to a different cover position, when because I had the joystick slightly pressed I instead vaulted at the attacker and got killed. Is there a way to change the key bindings so I stop killing myself because of the awkward control interface? I realize that there is probably different answers for each system. My specific situation is for Xbox, but I assume the other console owners have the same problem since the bindings are the same. In this answer regarding keybindings for conversation skipping w/o choosing a response, there was mention of only being able to do this for PC by modding the config files. Does the same apply, and if so, if I get the PC version, what are config settings I must change? I guess this would be most applicable to ME3 since it recently came out, but I still had the same problems in the other games, so the answer could apply to all of them, if that's possible.

Here's the warning: > If you change your country settings, you will no longer be able to use > services that require a Nintendo Network ID, such as browsing Nintendo eShop > or posting to Miiverse. My question is, what exactly will happen if I change that region? Will my 3DS be "disconnected" from my Nintendo Network ID, will my downloaded content disappear/be uninstalled, will I be able to create a new Nintendo Network ID? Will I be able to restore the previous state and connection to my Network ID by changing back to the original region? **Note that this is not about the market region as in region-lock.

title: Is it possible to get a new Minecraft *game* id without getting a new *user id* / buying a new copy of Minecraft?

text: There is some sort of a global "player id" that identifies you to Minecraft servers. This id has a 1:1 relationship with a game state on a server. Is it possible to get a new game on a server without getting a new id (without buying a new copy of Minecraft)? This would make it possible to start from fresh on a server one doesn't control. I think that the whole idea of there being a _single game state_ associated with a _single user id_ is, on its face, absurd. When you play locally, you can have as many games as you wish. The same should be possible on a server. I have no problem with having a unique id so that someone can ban me etc. I just wish there was a way to have more than one game state (player state) on a server, so that I could explore different strategies etc. My question is not about impersonating another player, nor avoiding bans, etc. I simply wonder why online play limits the functionality present in the basic local Minecraft - namely that you can have more than one game state.

title: Would a memory foam topper be a sufficient sound and vibration baffle for Dance Dance Revolution?

text: For the past several months, my roommates and I have taken to enjoying varying builds of _Dance Dance Revolution_ in the evenings, inclusive of _X_ , _MAX 2_ , and _Supernova 2_. I personally have gotten reasonably good at it, taking my game up to 7 and 8 difficulty in the earlier builds and as high as 11 in _DDR X_ , barless (that is, without a safety bar). Unfortunately, despite the fact that we live in a three story townhome with no neighbors above or below us, our neighbors on either side have complained about the noise during hours of play. Because we share walls with both sets of neighbors and our only practical locations are closer to one or the other, we can't minimize noise by setting the system up equidistant from both shared walls. And, as the shared walls have strong sound insulation, the noise being put out is relevant but not significant. The real problem is the vibration, which is an exceedingly common complaint about home installations. After researching the issue, it came to my attention that foam inserts are a very common strategy to reduce vibration and audible noise. It is also possible that we can schedule our routine with either set of neighbors, but we'd like to be more courteous during normal waking hours if possible. We currently own two Konami dance pads that we've modified with plastic chairmats and carpet tape to prevent slippage. I'm considering picking up a cheap memory foam topper from Amazon to place under the chairmats for single, versus, and doubles play, under the assumption that the high density of the material and low slippage should be sufficient for extended play at high difficulty. Is this the best solution to the problem? What other methods of vibration baffling are available that I've not considered?


title: In a co-op game, whose PhysX settings determine if flowing cloths are bulletproof?

text: > …flowing cloth (flags, tarps) that use PhysX to flow realistically are solid > with PhysX off, and block bullets completely. With PhysX on, the cloth can > be shot apart and thus shot through. \- from an answer to the question, "What do the levels of Nvidia PhysX do?" A comment in this answer to this question by @BenBrocka also states: > …the hitboxes are actually different when PhysX are on. Bullets will be > stopped by non-PhysX cloth because it's a wall. Bullets cut and then go > through PhysX cloth because that's the point, and I do think they will do > damage after passing through where the cloth was. I can confirm that this is true, _visually_ , in a single player game. (I haven't tested this in a co-op game, hence this question.) I've noticed that flowing cloths _appear_ to be rock-solid and bulletproof if playing with an AMD card with PhysX _disabled_ , and that projectiles _appear_ to pass through flowing cloth if playing with an Nvidia card with PhysX _enabled_. However, if this is not true, i.e. even if projectiles _appear_ to be tearing or passing through flowing cloth with PhysX enabled, they actually _aren't_ , then please feel free to correct me. **If in a co-op game, what if the host has an Nvidia GPU and PhysX is enabled, while the client has an AMD GPU and PhysX is disabled (set to 'low'), and then vice-versa?** **What determines whether a projectile can pass through a flowing cloth affected by PhysX (and hit an enemy behind it)** \- is it the host's or the client's computer? Or does each computer show a different effect for flowing cloths? (Which is weird if in a co-op game.)

title: Why is everything exploding?

text: While playing MW3, I have noticed a frustrating trend of random things exploding and killing me. Not enemy lethal equipment, but map objects like cars, barrels, and what look like blown, sparking fuseboxes. Each of these deaths (and occasionally kills - last night on Dome I happened to shoot through a wall when moving to cover, blowing up a barrel inside and killing two people) gets it's own kill icon, as well. Usually these are triggered by some sort of damage (shooting a barrel, grenading a car, etc.), but as far as the fuseboxes, I have no idea why they explode (I've never even seen a grenade nearby when they exploded). Is any quick way to know what will and won't explode? Obviously most intact cars will, some barrels (probably a particular color) will, and I've learned that sparking fuseboxes are also apparently a deathtrap. How can I tell?

I couldn't see any part of the terrain that looked particularly passable or road-like. I eventually took a carriage to Winterhold, but I would like to know what route I should be taking if I decide to walk there in the future. Where is the road to Winterhold?


title: How am I intended to navigate the constellations?

text: When picking a perk to level up, I have to click once per constellation if I want to change which skill I want a perk in. If I want to go to a skill a few constellations away, it is burdensome to click and wait for the animation to slide the constellations over and then click again. Once within a constellation, picking which branch of the tree you navigate down seems finicky as well. Navigating back down the tree to the base or out of the constellation altogether is just as cumbersome. Is there some set of controls for navigating this screen that I am unaware of? The arrow keys on the keyboard don't seem to do anything, like they do in other menus. Is there something else?

title: What does tethering to enemies do?

text: I found an item with the following attribute: > Chance to tether yourself to an enemy. ![Chance to tether yourself to an enemy.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aMU65.jpg) When I get shooting at people, sometimes I can see this in action. I see a green beam form between myself and the enemy. As far as I can work out though, that's the extent of this feature. It doesn't appear to restrict movement of either party, and if I move far enough away or kill the tethered enemy, it disappears. Does it do anything useful? ![Me tethered to a green dude](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hMqpc.jpg)

title: What is the reward for keeping the Prejek Paddle Fish alive?

text: The official Prima guide notes that if Shepard purchased a Prejek Paddle Fish in ME2, and kept it alive all the way through to the end of ME3, that when starting a New Game+, there would be a special additional Intel bonus available at the terminal in Liara's cabin aboard the Normandy. I don't have a save available in which I could convince Kelly to feed my fish for me, and thus, all of my ME2 fish are now Krogan food. **What is the reward for keeping my finned friend alive?**

title: Does anyone know how to influence abduction site locations?

text: Pretty simple question I can't find an answer for. Basically, I manged to eek out a good start on Impossible, handled the first abduction and UFO interception, but now the second abduction is hitting the worst possible combination of countries, so I'd like to force a "reroll" of those abduction sites, but can't seem to figure out how. I've tried rerunning the UFO raid the happened a few days before, selling different things in the Gray Market, changing research projects, building new items and/or facilities and hiring new soldiers, but to no effect. At the same time, I know they're not set in stone, because if I go back to the beginning and just ignore everything unit the second abduction, the sites are different. Anyone know how to change the abduction mission site locations?

title: Does My Readiness Rating Change the Ending if it Decreases While I'm in the Last Mission

text: I was able to push my effective rating over 4000 before I started the final assault on Earth and received the "Master and Commander" trophy. I then got to just after you are beamed up to the Citadel and saved. Due to some personal issues I didn't get back to the game and now my Readiness rating is down to 60% (which BTW is the worst "feature" of this game). Does anyone know if my effective rating was "locked" in when I started the assault or do I need to grind it back up to 80%? It's also annoying you can't find this data without being on Normandy. :-(


title: How to decide whether an attribute scales well with certain skills?

text: Reading several guides and build regarding Guildwars 2 characters I often come across mentioning of attributes that scale well or not so well with certain skills. For example, `power`, supposedly, scales badly with the Necromancer's scepter skills. It is therefore advised to take `precision` with scepter because it scales better.      What I've come to understand is that skills use a certain formula according to attributes to come to their final damage output, and based on this formula some attribute contribute better than others.      I would like to know how to decide which attributes scale best with an arbitrary set of skills for any given class. Is there a way to figure this out rather than applying empirical testing?


title: Punkbuster keeps kicking me for weird reasons. 'Invalid Memory Image'; how to resolve?

text: So on top of getting kicked from Battlefield 3 games because of a 'lost connection to EA online' error I just recently got this gem;               Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster.     Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'Hashbrown777' (for 0 minutes) ...     RESTRICTION: Invalid Memory Image [130511]      I've had a bit of a look around and people seem to think it can be caused by modding (HUD modifications etc) but I have none. I have no expansions and am just running the bare game. I repair installed and updated PB but they found nothing (said `no corruptions` and `already up to date` respectively). I keep getting kicked for this and other reasons, but this one seems to be the most odd (and thus, hopefully, able to pinpoint a cause). Has anyone got any ideas?


title: On heists with seperate loot and escape vehicles can loot bags be escaped?

text: Certain heists such as Watchdogs and Rats Day 3 have two different vehicles that are generally available at the same time. One is indicated to the player as a loot securing vehicle and the other is indicated to the player as an escape vehicle. Can loot be secured by taking it with you to the escape vehicle even though the game doesn't offer a "loot secured" text alert? I see three scenarios that can be tested: 1) Loot is secured in the dedicate loot vehicle 2) Loot is on the ground in the escape area 3) Loot is on a player's back who is in the escape area

title: Is every type of evolution stone equally distributed in the Underground?

text: I noticed on my _Pokémon Platinum_ cartridge that I have far fewer Water Stones in my inventory than any other type of evolution stone. I have around 30 Fire Stones and 20 Thunderstones, but only 2 Water Stones. Now, I'm a fan of Vaporeon, but I don't remember going on a Water Stone spree. Is there any reason that Water Stones would be less common in the Underground? Does it vary by game or player ID? Does it vary by area? Do some games get no stones of a certain type, the same way some Pokémon are version-exclusive to encourage trading?

I'm just not sure if somehow it will still recognize that I went to normal, and I would rather not play through on Dark mode and not get the achievement. Thanks.


title: How long does radiation contamination take to clean up?

text: Due to poorly educated workers at my nuclear power plant, I was told that a meltdown was imminent at my power plant. Considering how densely packed my city is, I didn't fancy having a meltdown and removed the nuclear power plant in favour of an oil power plant.

I've waited a pretty long time, and it doesn't seem as if the effects of the radiation are dying down at all? Is there anything I can do to get rid of the radiation? Does it dissipate naturally and I just have waited long enough? Will certain buildings do okay in radioactive areas?

title: Which Guitar Hero/Rock Band titles does the WarBeast guitar work with?

text: I'm planning on buying dreamGear's WarBeast Guitar as a gift for a friend. ![WarBeast guitar](http://i.stack.imgur.com/JvmL6.jpg) The guitar's specification makes me suspect that it is not an entirely "regular" peripheral (I don't recall coming across one that has a button for selecting whether it should work with Guitar Hero **or** Rock Band) and since I'll have to order it from abroad, I'd rather not simply bet that it works. Does anyone have any hands-on experience with this controller and can tell me which titles it is compatible with? The specifications indicate that it definitely works with Guitar Hero 4, but what about something newer/older? I also wouldn't mind knowing which versions of Rock Band it works with.

title: Where is the key to get out of the Catacombs in Hatred Symbolized?

text: I think this may actually be a bug in my game but I want to make sure that I'm not missing something. I have finished the Hatred Symbolized quest in Chapter 2 of The Witcher 2 following Roche's path. I am in the Catacombs where I meet Saskia and Zoltan. Saskia gives me the sword I need to complete the quest. There is a locked door behind them that I _should_ be able to access at this point. I looted the corpse in the main room and received a catacomb key. I have tried the door after acquiring this key and it still says it's locked. Should this key unlock that door or is there another key that I missed along the way? If so, what is the catacomb key actually for?

title: When is the best time to deploy ECM Jammer?

text: There are multiple defense mechanisms that are provided as unlocks for air vehicles in Battlefield 3. My friend and I were debating when to actually deploy ECM vs Flares. Personally, I have my own system with my gunner to evade missiles / getting locked but he was assuring me that my practice was wrong. His version: Deploying ECM when missiles are fired and tracking to the target. [I told him my version:] My version: Deploying ECM after about 2 seconds of 'getting _painted_ ' or getting locked on. While ECM is being deployed, I either try to asses where the threat is coming from or bug out. If they are able to gain another lock on my helicopter, I coordinate with my gunner for when to deploy his flares. Most of the time, the missile misses us and my ECM jammer is reloaded. In theory, this would keep us up for a long time [ as long as we don't get killed by a SOFlam / Javelin combo or guided shell]. When is the best time to deploy ECM Jammer ? Side Note: I have already seen this post, and they are not the same question.


title: Do Tallbird nests reappear after being burned?

text: I noticed that an empty Tallbird nest will be reinhabited with a new Tallbird after a few days, which will eventually spawn an egg. But do the nests also appear? I haven't had enough luck to figure it out. The game wiki lists Tallbirds as renewable, but I'm not sure if it means just hatching the eggs and waiting for a nest to be reinhabited. In case a nest _accidentally_ burns to ashes, will it reappear after some time along with a new Tallbird?


title: Does the Snowtrooper actually unlock Scoop of Hoth?

In fact, after receiving this message, I attempted to use the Snowtrooper ? bitizen again, and again to no avail. I have seen a still shot somewhere of the scene unlock, but no one seems to have been able to trigger it that I know of. I'm wondering if anyone has done it in the past, but somehow the recent update broke the unlock function on this scene? There is a related question here: Which characters unlock each scene?

With doors, without doors, toilet connected to water, toilet unconnected, lit, unlit, a room IN a room. I've even tried building a 15 x 30 size room with those items in it. When that didn't work, I tried putting one of pretty much EVERY item in it. And yet that little flashing red triangle remains... What am I missing?

title: How are resources gained, distributed, and spent?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  At what rate do players and commanders receive resources per resource node? I'm unclear on how resources gained by aliens and marines are gained and distributed to the teams and personal supplies. **First, how is the amount and frequency res gained calculated?** I know it's a function of res nodes over time, but what's the actual equation? Is res gained even if the team doesn't have any resource nodes captured? Does going from one res node to two double the amount of res gained, or is it a different scale? **Second, how are the resources gathered distributed to the team (i.e., comm) and individual members of the team?** Do players with with a higher "score" gain a higher percentage of the distribution? Is it based on how long a player has been alive or how much he's contributed to the team? Physical proximity to certain structures? Can a commander manually give extra resources to a player? **Third, is there anything the effects the costs of spending resources?** Does evolving into an Onos _always_ cost 75 resources? As an alien, is there a cost difference between going from a skulk to fade versus lurk to fade? As a commander, are some upgrades cheaper sooner or later depending on your current tech-tree? Do any structures offer a "discount" or "rebate"? Does doing well in a match effect any of these costs? This may be a question overload, but there you go! Thanks in advance.


title: Is it possible to recover from a "last stand" when your rival doesn't kill you?

text: Occasionally when shooting off some heads in multiplayer, I get damaged to the point where it's not enough to kill me but I enter the "last stand" mode -- this is similar to how it is in singleplayer where you have painkillers and an enemy "kills" you but you have a chance to survive if you are able to kill them. Sometimes just like in singleplayer, when you enter this mode, you don't have a clear shot at your rival (as you fell down behind an obstruction) so you can't recover by killing them. Sometimes my rival is too clueless to know that I'm not dead yet and never moves into my line of sight so I'm stuck there until someone else kills me or I commit suicide. **Is it possible to recover when in this state without being able to kill my rival eventually?** I'm just throwing out guesses but I'd imagine I could be revived by a teammate if they can get to me. I have yet to confirm or deny that.

title: How do I automate my farming and bee-keeping industries?

text: I've been trying to build fortresses that produce sheep and bees. It's not too bad, but I have to manually micromanage milking, shearing, cheese- and mead- making. I can assign these tasks to individual workshops, but the moment the dwarves are unable to do a task, it gets cancelled, so I have to reassign it manually some time later. Or I can assign tasks via the manager, but then orders to the same workshop seem to stack up, so until n orders of shearing are completed, dwarves won't try to milk my sheep or make cheese. Both require significant micromanagement, which I can imagine only gets worse as the fortress grows. What can I do to make these production chains (also: butchering by-products) handle themselves, so I can direct my attention elsewhere?


title: Applied Energistics Subnetwork doesn't accept items

text: I created an mob farm using cursed earth and an auto-spawner spawning endermen, their drops I want to collect in an AE subnetwork. The mobfarm consists of 2 grinders and an iron tank. The grinders output their items into itemducts which lead to an ME Interface which is linked to the subnetwork. The subnetwork is powered by an ME Power Relay and has an ME Drive, ME Controller, ME Interface and is read-only to my main network through an ME Storage Bus. However, my grinders now refuse to work and the itemducts are clogged up, meaning my AE subsystem doesn't accept the items... which is weird considering they're not partitioned. ![Clogged itemduct](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YRrE7.png) When looking at the itemduct to the ME Interface, items just bounce back and forth in the last itemduct. **This seemed to be a graphical glitch, restarting the server helped this** ![Bouncing items in itemduct](http://i.stack.imgur.com/1XQzS.png) Does anyone happen to know why this happens? And possibly how to fix it? Using a second ME Interface did nothing.

title: Most effective late-game XP farming?

text: **Spoiler warning! Don't read if you haven't completed the game!** I've completed Hell but am currently level 59 and farming xp as fast as I can to start Inferno. Because I'm a relatively squishy class (Demon Hunter) I can't quickly or easily run higher levels solo. I'm sure this is not the case or barbarians or monks, however. Currently my xp-farming plan goes as follows:   1. Start a new game, Nightmare, at the very end of Act III (Kill Azmodan/Heart of Sin).   2. Rush through the mobs (or take the time to kill rare spawns if you want).   3. Kill Azmodan for ~44k xp (on Hell this jumps to 105k xp).   4. Rush through the cutscenes to the beginning of Act IV (receive another ~44k xp, or 105k on Hell).   5. Kill the introductory miniboss Iskatu for several thousand xp (less than the prior rewards but still significant, exact numbers escape me at the moment);   6. Repeat I'm sure a monk or barbarian could run this on Hell somewhat quickly for around 300k xp, however as a high-level low-survivability class, I need to run this on Nightmare for significantly less, about ~120k xp per run. Does anyone have a better solution for quickly racking up the ~2mil xp needed for the high 50's and 60 leveling as a non-tanking class (or in general)? If you have the time/dedication, please try to put some numbers/estimates when making alternate suggestions. As a rough estimate as time goes, this takes about as long as the Diablo fight, if you watch all the in-fight cutscenes.


title: KOTOR 2 Freezes on Movies

text: Playing Knights of the Old Republic 2, I find myself in a frustrating situation: I have to click to end movies as soon as they start or my game will freeze afterward (while switching resolutions?) However, even with shortening the movies in this fashion, it seems that there is roughly a 30% chance that my game will freeze _per movie_ I encounter. When there are 3 movies chained together, for instance, it seems to crash about 65% of the time! While I've gotten pretty good about autosaving frequently, it is pretty annoying to both miss the game's movies as well as having to frequently restart the game. I'm running Windows 7 SP-1 64-bit with an AMD Radeon R9 200 Series video card. I have the Steam version of KOTOR 2. I've seen mention of this or similar issues online but never a fix. Can anyone offer a solution?


title: How do I power my screw pump on Dwarf Fortress?

text: I have a windmill and it is transmitting power to a gear assembly below. The gear assembly is connect to an axle so it looks like this: ground level: X is windmill               XXX     XXX     XXX      below: G is gear A is axle               OOO     OGO     OAO     OAO     OGO      DF says this is all powered, so no problems yet. I built my pump so that it's half on the bottom G, ie. the gear assembly is directly one tile below my pump. However it does not have power. Any ideas? Edit: Sideview would be                  WWW P         GAAG


title: In the No Mercy heist, what kind of infected is the patient turning into?

text: Is it possible to know what the infected patient is going to be ? It looks like a special infected "Boomer", but it's hard to say. Moreover, the new theme introduced with the No Mercy update seems dedicated to the Boomer, and the changelog says this: > NEW THEME: Players are now able to choose a new theme inspired by our > favorite undead. So that would make sense. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ze1mG.jpg) Also, what's the most advanced stade of mutation that's observable in the game ? If you play long enough, will the patient finish his transformation ?


title: Concerns about running a kingdom

text: So I just got my kingdom running (sort of). I took it over from Vaegers and assigned castles and towns to some companions. Don't really know what I'm doing, so I did some research. Turns out, I assigned feifs to the wrong companions there... Also, I'm having some trouble with right to rule. I was wondering if anyone can elaborate on a few things to help me out:   * **Right to rule**. Every time I want to send a companion on a quest for me, s/he says that another companion was sent out and it's probably better to wait a while   * **Vassals**. I know how to create them, but how do I strip one of my vassals of their title - kick the out so to speak?   * **Feifs**. Assuming someone in my kingdom is a vassal that I like, how would I remove their feifs from them (essentially, give them back to myself)? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

title: How to add more bots in Counter Strike?

text: I have set both `mp_autoteambalance` and `mp_limitteams` to 0, but the maximum number of bots I can play against is 10, and I would like to play against 20 bots, instaed. I mean, me against all bots. Is there any other command to carry out that?
