title: How do armor enhancements work?

text: I've found some shiny new armor enhancement: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Inv17.png) Now, when I try and drag this onto my armor, I'm getting the message "Action not allowed on this item". Am I doing it wrong, or can I only enhance certain armors, and not everything? My questions now are:   * Can I enhance all armor part (also boots, trousers, gauntlets)?   * Does it only work for specific armors?   * Is it reversible?


title: Do I need to complete AC3 to understand AC4?

text: I just bought Assassins Creed Revelations, 3 & 4.   I already played 1, 2 & Brotherhood, so I started to end the Ezio story with finishing Revelations. I just watched some trailers for AC 4 and i'm excited and just want to start to play it. But I don't know if there are some relations to AC3...? When I google about it, there are too many spoilers because they talk too much about the story. SO PLEASE DO NOT SPOILER! I just want to know if I need to play Assassins Creed 3 first, before I start with the 4.

title: 1st kill Malthael

text: I'm trying to figure out how the system works and I was wondering. I already read about, Under what conditions does Malthael drop legendary pieces or plans? When you first kill Malthael you have a guarantee drop (boots + plan) and another one, if you reset your quest you will get another guarantee legendary. But, reading a blue, the guarantee legendary comes if you complete all the quests before, is this true? Have anyone tried it? What happens if I reset the quests, a friend of mine give me the last wp and kill him again, will I have another leg? On the other hand, what happens if I powerlevel one toon to 70 doing ccor and hermit, doing no quest at all and a friend of mine kills malthael in T1? Will I get only the plan + boots or I will get a lot of legendaries? Thanks

title: How do you build Soul Meter?

text: Correct me if the name of this meter is wrong; I am referring to the curved one at the edge of your health bar, that has the number 0, 1, or 2, depending on how full it is. I know that this generally just goes up through the course of play, and it goes up quickly enough that casual players don't really need to think about how exactly they're building the meter. However, depending on how the meter builds, this could make strategies focused around that, like strategies focused around breaking armor in Soul Calibur IV. What actions build up your meter, and how much do they build it up? Do some attacks build it up more than others?

title: In PvP, how does Unstable Affliction affect the healers, strategically?

text: When playing in large PvP environments (rated battlegrounds, primarily), healers have the responsibility of dispelling their teammates. Warlocks have the responsibility of using Unstable Affliction on as many players as possible. The description of Unstable Affliction states that "if the Unstable Affliction is dispelled it will cause 2007 damage to the dispeller and silence them for 4 sec." Does this silence suffer from diminishing returns (first silence is 4 seconds, second is 2 seconds, 3 is 1 second, then immunity for 15 seconds)? What happens when a healer's Mass Dispel dispels multiple UAs? Do those suffer from diminishing returns (e.g. a healer that dispels 4 UAs at once is immediately immune to the silence)? How do healers deal with the silence? Can other healers dispel the silence? _Please note that I am a DPS player that has never played a healer before, so bear with me._


title: Is Binary Domain playable without a mic?

text: Binary Domain has interested me for a while and is currently on sale at Steam. Thing is, I've played the demo and came across a few occurences of dialog where I was supposed to answer to my teammates through a mic. Long story short, I don't have one, and the way my PC is set in my room makes it impractical to plug one in anyway. I don't know if it's because it was a demo or a case of me not looking hard enough, but I couldn't find how or IF the voice system could be disabled, so any time one of these dialogs showed up I ended up being taken for a jerk by my teammates. So, can I work around it? If so, how? Do I lose anything by playing without a mic?

title: Do different versions of Deus Ex: Human Revolution differ visually or mechanically? How so?

text: Deus Ex: Human Revolution is available on Xbox 360, PS3, and Windows-based computers via Steam. How do these versions differ? Obviously the 360 version has achievements, while the PS3 version has trophies—and Steam's suite of community participation tools are an obvious inclusion in the PC version. I'm referring more to differences in performance, graphical quality, user interface, or even in-game differences. For example, in the PS2 port of the original Deus Ex, many areas had to be broken up into smaller chunks with large stone walls in order for it to fit into the PS2's memory. That's a pretty significant difference! **Are the games functionally indistinguishable, and if not, what's the distinction?**

title: How to deal with 2v2 rushes?

text: I play on a 2v2 team as Protoss, my ally is Terran. 1v1 rush handling is fairly straight-forward, and if you're prepared for it the defender gets the _advantage_ because of quick reinforcements, high ground, etc. In 2v2 however, when a rush comes, it's twice as strong, and the defender is at a _disadvantage_ because:   * It's usually too early to join armies with your ally, so it's 2v1.   * As Protoss, when an early double rush comes in at 6 minutes, they are right at my production facilities. It's easy for one of them to deal with my units, and one of them to take out my pylons very quickly.   * There are more options for the opponent to see high ground: hallucinated colossus, overloards, or because the army is so big, just running straight up the ramp. For example I just lost to a 6-minute marine+roach attack on Monlyth Ridge. We scouted and knew it was coming, but I don't know what we could have done to stop it. They killed my pylons while I tried to hold them off, thus I couldn't reinforce, thus they didn't even have to kill my base before going to kill my ally. The typical answer to holding on in a 2v2 game when one ally is dying is: **Die as slowly as possible**. This is excellent later in the game, but against decent opponents at about 6-8 minutes, this isn't very powerful / possible because:   1. I have very few units to distract them with.   2. My map coverage & economy is not enough to start building dark templar or other surprise tech.   3. This early, they have a very clear idea of what options I have, so they are not afraid to just march into my base.   4. Luring them away from the base is too risky; without any defense in my base they will run in and kill production / economy.   5. Once they kill my production (which doesn't take long), they don't need to bother killing my buildings. They can march straight to the ally's base. They only need to keep a couple units in my base to prevent me from advancing. My 2v2 team tends to win as long as we can hold off 6-8 minute rushes. Here are some ideas but I would like to hear your comments before I throw away lots of games experimenting:   * More sentries for forcefield. The advantage is this doesn't cost much of a compromise to my build as I can build them just as I build any other gateway unit. However, it only delays the inevitable and doesn't allow me to ramp up my production. It also prevents me from helping my ally if they go to him. So I am pretty scared to use FF in this scenario.   * Hallucination. They won't have detection at this point, and if they arrive at my front door and see 2 immortals and 6 stalkers, they may just run away. If not, it could absorb enough of their fire to buy us more time than a force field.   * Turtle. My ally and I prefer longer games so we just want to be able to hold off rushes. So should we do it decisively by turtling hard? Especially on Monlyth Ridge, could it be that doing a forge-first opening and quick-ish expand is the best way to fend off their early attacks? The idea would be to sacrifice early units, put all resources into defense and benefit from a healthier economy and play the game on our terms. But I am not sure static defense is strong enough for rushes like this anyway, and it's a lot of investment. So, how does a 2v2 team defend against rushes like this as the different race options? **[Update, after accepting Sorean's answer]:** I want to say how I integrated Sorean's answer into my thinking and on the ladder. I think you can boil the issues down to **joining armies at your base means giving up defensive advantages we're used to in 1v1**. These advantages boil down mostly to positioning / base geography. Without that issue, for example on Discord IV, the defense strategy is the same as 1v1. So the response is that, if you want to compensate for the disadvantage, then you'll need to **emphasize more heavily the defensive capabilities of your race in a 2v2 defense**. Fortunately Blizzard has given enough options to make up for the disadvantage in 2v2 (I think...). Note that I really don't know much about Zerg or Terran, but I'll try to list this:   1. For Protoss:      1. Sentries with force field - if you can't completely block the opponent, you can at least choke them into a more favorable position.     2. Cannons, though usual cautions apply for these costly defenses. But in some defensive positions cannons can be favored over units for the amount of damage they deal, and they are useful later in the game to detect burrowed units / dark templar.   2. For Zerg:      1. Static defense (but usual cautions still apply of course). Zerg can benefit even better because of being able to move static defense.     2. Creep     3. Queens with transfuse. Think spanishiwa and how he manages to defend with almost no units against a 4-gate.   3. For Terran:      1. Bunkers     2. Siege tanks. Because siege tanks can arrive earlier in the game than anything else with such a long range, they are great for defending main / natural bases.     3. Supply depots. Not sure if this really deserves to go on this list, but the ability to raise / lower a supply depot can be so useful in making building positioning work in your favor, and out of the opponents' favor. We are starting to experiment, putting the 2nd supply depot in the protoss base if we're walling in.

After a few missions in Solitude, Jordis and I became partners (and Lydia took the long walk home). While working on my smithing and enchantment skills, I made her a delightful ebony with a swell fire enchantment. Sadly, she has completely snubbed my efforts. For some reason, she really prefers her clunky old log of a bow. Can I convince Jordis to at least _try_ the new bow? It's really quite nice. Besides, it matches her new outfit....

As an example, can I `elbereth` my swords for more power?


title: I can't interact with the Steam Overlay. What's going on?

text: I've been having issues with the Steam Overlay while playing **The Witcher** recently. I _suspect_ that the issues are specific to the fact that the game was (somewhat sloppily) ported to Mac OS X with a quick Wineskin wrapper - a theory supported by this question. Specifically, the Overlay appears when I hit Shift-Tab (most of the time. Sometimes it's totally non-responsive until I restart the game), but it's completely non-interactive. The cursor remains as the games custom cursor, and I can still interact with the game behind the overlay. I cannot however, click on anything _on_ the overlay. Is there anything I can do to fix the overlay to make it usable?

Now, I know it's good to buy it if enemy team has lots of wards, especially in my teams jungle, but what if I've been dying too much? How to make a good decision when 400g won't be a waste? Because, if you buy Oracle and die 2 min later without clearing any wards... It's kinda waste of 400g! Any tips & answers are appreciated, thanks in advance.

title: How to get another player ID for Farmville 2 Country Escape?

text: I chose to ask this question here because there doesn't seem to be any way to contact Zynga for this game. The button that's supposed to actually show me the contact options just redirects to a page that tells me what I should be seeing. I have no permissions on the forums despite the email saying that I do. I will appreciate any guidance on how to get official support. My goal is for my friend and I to be able to play the game each using our own iPads and Facebook accounts. So this is what happened that led me to this problem:   1. My friend gets the game on his iPad using his Apple ID, plays the game with his Game Center ID but doesn't use Facebook Connect.   2. I get the game on my iPad using his Apple ID, play the game with my Game Center ID and use Facebook Connect.   3. Friend decides to use Facebook Connect, but I forgot I was logged in to my Facebook account on his iPad and he clicks the button in the game to connect.   4. His game connects to my Facebook so now it appears both our farms are tied to my Facebook and every time we try to play our own farms simultaneously the game will constantly ask us to pick between the device farm and the cloud farm.   5. We restart everything, uninstall, sign out of Facebook and Game Center, and sign in to our respective accounts and reinstall the game.   6. Now my friend is unable to connect his new farm to his Facebook because it keeps saying it's already connected to another, probably still mine.   7. It appears we have the same player ID when we check under the Options menu. So is there any way for us to remedy this situation?

title: PSN downloads for the PSVita --- interpreting game availability

text: I've been browsing the playable games on the PS Vita listed here on the official website: http://us.playstation.com/psvita/games-and- media/#?platform=PSVita&Genre=Genre&SubCat=Vita Features&page=1 Every single game in this list is playable on the PSVita. You can click on any of the games and see something like "Platform: PSP®, PSVita". In most cases, there is a "Buy Download" option, which makes sense, as the PSVita cannot read PSP UMDs. However, these are other cases where there is only a "Buy Disc" option available, and there are other cases where there is NO buy option available. For example: **1) Buy Disc only:** http://us.playstation.com/games/kingdom-hearts-birth-by- sleep-psp.html **2) No Buy option:** http://us.playstation.com/games/knights-in-the- nightmare-psp.html Both of those PSP games list PSVita as platforms. "Buy Disc" is meaningless as it is UMD format for the PSP. So if you can't download either of them, and both of their release dates say "Out Now," what in the world does that even mean? The above two are simply examples --- the entire list is riddled with these mystery cases. How can I interpret this list? I can't buy a PSVita until I can concretely determine with no mystery what I actually can and can't play.

When I got back in however, the marker for his body seems to be underground, near where I killed him. It's not a door marker. Is this a glitch where his body has disappeared, or has his body been moved somewhere (like the Hall of the Dead)?

I can't actually see the live game, but I can see the live minimap. Anyone else having this problem? And does anyone know how to fix it. I changed my graphics to the lowest settings, and nothing seemed to change.

text: It's my understanding that the projectiles from Lightning Strike work with support gems like Lesser/Greater Multiple Projectiles and Chain or Fork, but what about the Iron Grip passive and other projectile speed and damage passives?


title: What is the safest way to kill blazes?

text: What is the best way to kill blazemen without losing any health? If I just shoot them at a distance they can easily take 6-8 hearts off me by setting me on fire with their fireballs. Fire resistance potions aren't good enough because I still take damage (1 full heart) when they touch me.


title: How can I take a screenshot?

text: I'm looking for an in-game keystroke for taking a screenshot. I Googled it, it but to no avail. I'm a bit puzzled; I tried all function keys and Print Screen but they did not help.


title: Why No XM From Ingress Portal

text: In the game Ingress, in my neighborhood, there is a newish Portal that went online last week. Control of it has passed back and forth between factions a few times, and it's been used by at least one side to create multiple Links and Fields, but to date, it hasn't provided any XM. I've checked many times, at all times of day. I'm sure that the issue isn't that other players are grabbing all the XM before I get a chance to see it. I've confirmed with other players that it doesn't provide them any XM, also. I haven't run across any other Portals that don't provide XM. Does anybody happen to know... Why would an Ingress Portal not provide XM?


title: How do I get my hands on higher-tier equipment and magic in Tactics Ogre (PSP)?

text: I've finished a play-through of Tactics Ogre and as a completionist have been using the World Tarot to go back and complete the other routes (e.g. Law route) to recruit more characters. My party members are all level 28-30 and have equipment and magic that I have been able to purchase since Chapter IV (e.g. Siege Bow, Baldur Daggers, Brigandine, Heal III). All of the enemies scale to be the same level as your party, and I've noticed that their equipment, skills and magic seem to be related to their level. This means that the enemies are using weapons like 'Frost Bow', 'Wyrmscale' armor and spells like Judgement III while I'm stuck with the equipment I got almost 10 levels ago. It's not getting difficult yet, but I imagine that if I continue to level up, the enemies will eventually have access to things that I can't keep up with. What is the best way to get my hands on stronger equipment and magic? I've had a Holy Comet and Roodbow drop after playing for about 8 hours but that was all, and I won't be able to gear everyone up properly if it's that inefficient to get decent gear. It seems like there must be a secret shop somewhere or some other more logical method.

Is this a bug? Did I do it wrong? Or am I missing something? I'm on the PS3. Will this also happen on my Xbox 360 Version?


title: Do poison effects stack?

text: If I use the same poison on a single target twice, do the effects stack? For example I hit someone twice with a poison that does `1 damage per second for 10 seconds`, what are the results:   * `2 damage per second for 10 seconds`   * `1 damage per second for 20 seconds`   * `2 damage per second for 20 seconds`   * The timer resets back to 10 seconds on the last hit   * The second poison is ignored This also leads to the question that if I use the `Concentrated Poison` perk in the `Alchemy` skill tree, are the effects the same as if I used two of the same poison in a row?

title: Upgrades of the stable and their effects on the magical horse

title: Should I chase down Squishys in teamfights with Ahri?

text: My main character is Ahri. I manage to win my lane most of the times, but when it comes to Teamfights in Solo Q I am sometimes not quite sure how to react in teamfights. Because of Ahris Mobility with her Ultimate, I actually interpret her role in teamfights like this: Try to get to the enemy AD / AP Carry asap (with ult if it would take to long), burst him down, support the ongoing fight. Now sometimes my burst isnt enough to kill the carry instantly, but it makes him leave the fight and run away. In this case, should I try to chase him down or should I participate in the ongoing teamfight?


title: Why did my pills change?

text: In Binding of Issac Wraith of the Lamb I picked up a Range Down Pill that I already identified. Some time during the play-through it changed to a Range Up Upgrade. I am not sure when it happened or what happened. I know that that the Lucky Foot Item and the PHD can change negative pill effects, but neither one of those items were picked up in this run. Are there any other items that could of changed the pill type? If you hold on to a known negative pill long enough does it change?

title: How can I use the radio when not in a car?

text: I stole a car and used the `RB` and `LB` buttons to turn on the radio and tune it to The Mix 107.77. I then started running over pedestrians at high speeds while singing along with Haddaway's _What Is Love_. Unfortunately, while swerving to try to hit someone who appeared to be dressed like a cat, I ran into a building and my car caught fire and exploded. I was pleased to find What Is Love still playing despite the fact that I was now on foot. This was great until The Pharcyde's _Oh Shit_ came on. I simply can't abide by such foul language when I'm murdering random civilians. Is there any way to turn the radio off or change the station without getting in another car?


title: How to use Dragon's Dogma save to start new game with bonuses in Dark Arisen?

text: I had Dragon's Dogma, played a bit, then sold it when I realized I wanted Dark Arisen. Then, Dark Arisen came to PS+ and I was in luck! However, it is not all luck. When I sold Dragon's Dogma, I also deleted my save file. I didn't think it mattered since I had barely played, my character was ugly, and I just wanted to start fresh. In Dark Arisen, I still want to start fresh, but I also know you get bonuses if you have a Dragon's Dogma save file. I can download a Dragon's Dogma save, but will that prevent me from starting at the beginning? How can I start at the beginning and get the bonuses? I hope this makes sense. The save in question I'll be using is downloadable from Gamefaqs. Maybe it's not possible to start a new game with an old save file, though. Help!


title: Are Blue Shift and Opposing Force "canon"?

title: How are train breakdown events determined?

text: Getting heavy into Pocket Trains lately. As one builds up it becomes increasingly more expensive to expand with more rail roads. I'm finding it difficult to build up cash due to an oddly common incident: train breakdowns. My question to you: What things affect how often a train breaks? Is it just the type of train? Or does number of engines and fuel cars have an effect? I'm playing on iOS if that matters.


title: What is the optimal bedroom size?

text: My colonists like complaining about... well, everything. Unfortunately, the more things they find to complain about, the lower their loyalty to the colony is. One thing I have noticed a lot of is my colonists complaining about the size of their rooms. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7pus6.jpg) Does this message relate specifically to the room they're in? I generally notice this message a lot when my colonists are sleeping and have experimented with a variety of room sizes (5x6, 3x4, etc) and these all seem to return the same number for the 'Cramped Environment' line. What is the optimal bedroom size?

Is there a way to preconfigure that I don't want to select it every single time and set the hard drive to default? Globally would be fine, but it would be okay to do that on a per profile / per game basis too.

I want to get him a 12 month Gold subscription so he can join me in online gameplay for Christmas (reason why I'm not sure). How would I go about verifying the correct region for the prepaid card purchase? Or do you get ones that are valid worldwide?


title: What is the effect of customizing your weapon in Warface?

text: In Warface it's possible to customize your weapon in-game by pressing `C`. You can then choose to add a silencer, scope, etc. I know the silencer reduces the sound of your shots, and the scope gives you a scope when right-clicking. Beside these, is there also an effect on any of the other properties of the weapon? Damage, recoil, etc.?

title: Is there a special technique to get more Decoration Droids in Tiny Death Star?

text: I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do in game to increase the amount of decoration droids appearing in my elevator without actually spending bux on them? If there is not, how long would it take to get 35 decoration droids? I read elsewhere that a user got all 35 droids in 1 sitting, however I've been constantly bringing bitizens to their preferred floor for over 2 hours now and have only gotten 8 droids including the free one it gives you. Did the other user play the game for like 10 hours straight or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

title: What are the stocking time differences relating to the rating of bitizens?

text: I've recently started accepting bitizens with a rating of 8 now to fill my stores until I find a dream job, as 9's are quite hard to come by. I'm just wondering the time difference % wise how much faster each bitizen is from ratings 1 through 9. I'm wondering this because sometimes I find it really hard to fill up my store but 6's and 7's are VERY common. So the real question is, is it worth it to get and 8/9 or settle with a 6/7 while waiting for a dream job to come along. This information is very important for me as I also need to calculate whether it's worth it to say have a dream job as a low rating of say 2/3 or have a normal worker of 8/9 as maybe even with the x2 stock it's not worth it as say bitizen can stock more than twice as fast with an 8/9.

title: How do I solve Enigma codes?

text: I found all Enigma codes, thanks to PowerPyx' collectible guide. All I have to do now is solve them, but how am I supposed to do it? Each code has 2 rows of 9 numbers ranging from 1 to 9. Each row determines the value of a letter ranging from A to J. I tried brute forcing the letters, but from AA to JJ nothing happened. Brute forcing the numbers is going to take forever, since there are one Billion different combinations for them. Finding the collectible Enigma Codes only allows me to set a value for the corresponding number, but it doesn't look like there's a hint to solving it. Exactly how am I supposed to find out how to solve this?

title: What can I do with my excess skill points?

text: I have a level 80 character, and I've already unlocked all of my utility skills. At this point I have over 50 unused skill points, and I'm not sure what I should be doing with them. Miyani sells a variety of items in exchange for skill points, but they're all soulbound/account bound. I understand some are required to create legendary weapons or ascended equipment, but I don't plan on pursuing either of those any time soon so I don't have any need to save my skill points for them. Is there any effective way to convert my excess skill points into something more useful, like perhaps money?

title: What are efficient sources of colored energy hexes throughout the game?

text: In _Resonance of Fate_ , you can get colored hexes primarily as a drop from human enemies or as a bonus prize after specific overworld battles. Once you figure out where to get each drop, it becomes not too difficult to harvest them... until you advance the plot. In later chapters, enemies in battles are replaced by much more powerful encounters, which not only replaces the drops of the enemies themselves but also affects that bonus prize in overworld battles. _This makes it much harder to get some of the earlier hexes when you're approaching the late game_. My question is, **what are the most efficient ways to harvest the different colored energy hexes throughout the game**? Ideally, I'd like to know not just where they are best found, but during what chapters I can use those sources and what alternatives are available after those points. In particular, the purple energy hex in the diamond shape seems to be almost completely absent at the stage of the game we're at. It is only ever dropped by a single normal enemy (the Outcast STG in the Hughes Power Station), which does still occasionally spawn but is more often replaced by the more annoying Mask Raiders who do _not_ drop purples. Unless we somehow skipped over it, we also have not found any Arena battle that drops purple hexes. And all of the encounters where they used to be dropped (primarily on Level 6) have been replaced with more difficult battles that prefer to give greens instead.

title: Being the only support , should I ward top and bot lanes at the same time?

text: I'm not sure where to ward when I end up being the only support in my team. I usually buy them at the start and every time I can after that, only putting them in my lane, both on the rune (top or bot) and the jungle, or both at the same time if I can. After I give one ward to anyone going the opposite lane, should I roam to that lane to ward? should I get one and put one on the courier? should I tp just to ward? I feel like most of them are making me lose time in laning, and the courier option is complicated to remember and communicate in a pub. Is it neccessary to make the effort? or should a team survive the laning phase with only 1 lane properly warded and the other warded from time to time?


title: Why do Minecraft double doors behave the way they do with redstone?

title: How to equalize in-game sensitivity between two FPS games

text: After playing a F2P FPS game I've decided to train my aim and recently found a guide which shows how to train your aim in CS:GO using harmless bots. After I tried a bit, I realized that I would need the same **in-game** mouse sensitivity between two games because first game had real-time weapon module system which had different scopes with different magnification levels which means different force applied to the mouse in order to line up a shot and reduce recoil. But everything I could find was a guide which barely explains how to make your in-game sensitivity the same as the desktop one. So how do you do It?(If you do It)Do i need macro in order to achieve this? Is this the right method to improve my aim?


title: In M.U.G.E.N, how do I resize the background in the select screen page?

text: Hopefully you guys know what M.U.G.E.N is, but I'm going to explain to the people that don't. It's basically a two-dimensional fighting game where you put your own fighters, stages, music, backgrounds and so on. Anyway, recently I got the Black Rock Shooter Screenpack. Everything was fine, but the Selection menu had the background too zoomed in. This caused the picture in the background to appear bigger, and also causing the characters to not appear. Here is shows how the screenpack is supposed to look like. I used my older winmugen to add the missing stuff to the screenpack, like chars., stages, the application itself, etc.. I have been told that I needed to resize everything, but what do I really resize? I know about the select and system file in the data folder, but I don't know what to really look for. I'd appreciate any help.

I was more interested when I thought they were just puzzle maps as they're some of the best co-op bits in the game, but I doubt it would be worth us both buying the packs just for one puzzle map in each pack.


title: Can enemies that run off screen alert other enemies to your presence?

text: Some enemies like to run away briefly, before coming back. Others might get feared, and run off screen. Of course, there is also the Treasure Goblins. They try and run from you the moment you start doing damage to them. I have not seen any evidence that the Treasure Goblins running off screen make other enemies come towards you, but that's a bit hard for me to test because when that happens, I'm usually close on the heels of that goblin, anyway. Can enemies that you've aggroed run into other enemies you haven't encountered yet, and cause them to aggro against you?

My attacks were only hitting them for 1500-2000 when normally my hits are in the 5000-6000 range. I was using a physical-only weapon. After several tries I realized that I could **not** kill them, no matter what I tried. The vampiric healing was more than enough to outdo my wimpy hits. I started paying attention and noticed that the normal Corrupted Angels were only taking about one third of the normal damage as well. I don't think it was a debuff, since I alternated hits against an Angel and then a different mob and could clearly see the difference: 2000, 6000, 2000, 6000, etc. In a later run I didn't see this behavior at all. I noticed I had changed to a fire-based weapon. **Is there some sort of hidden physical damage resistance that corrupted angels have?**


title: How do I connect to a server when playing multiplayer on Minecraft?

text: I just purchased Minecraft, and I am trying to play Multiplayer. But when I click Multiplayer and it says looking for games on your local network, nothing comes up. Also, when I type in the exact server address, all it says is "unknown host". What am I doing wrong?


I bought Minecraft PE on kindle and want to play on ipad? Can this be done or do i have to re-buy? Many thanks!


title: Is there any way to identify enemy vulnerabilities?

text: I'm wondering if there's any way to identify what an enemy's vulnerabilities are outside of just trying different abilities until you find it. Is there any indication in the enemy sprites that tell you what an enemy is vulnerable to? (i.e. Vulnerable to Fire, Light, Lightning, etc). Thanks in advance!


title: What does starring a race do?

text: When you finish a race, there is as icon on the top right of the screen which indicates that you can star the race by hitting +. It seems you can star up to 6 races. What does this actually do? And where can you manage which races you have starred? My instinct tells me this is what determines what gets uploaded to mariokart.tv, but now I am not so sure, as there doesn't seem to be enough time to warrant the amount of data that would need to be uploaded.

title: Terraria End Game

text: What is the end goal of Terraria? More specifically, at what action taken / boss defeated / item acquired can you say that you've beaten the game? I know it's a sandbox game, and thus doesn't really have an "end goal," but it still feels like there could be. What is it? Or, what would it be?

title: How do I destroy the Dark Brotherhood?

text: I'm walking here is Skyrim, and suddenly I get attacked by an assassin. After I barely manage to kill him, I find a note on his remains: > As instructed, you are to eliminate `<PlayerName>` by any means necessary. > The Black Sacrament has been performed - somebody wants this poor fool dead. > > We've already received payment for the contract. Failure is not an option. > > ~ Astrid Obviously, I don't like being marked for death, and would prefer to instead completely destroy Astrid and the rest.


title: Is the Burst Laser I superior to the Dual Lasers?

text: In my haste a bought a **Burst Laser I** before fully examining the stats, only to realize afterwards that it was inferior to the **Dual Lasers** I already own. The part I find unusual is that the **Burst Laser 1** is worth _more_ than the **Dual Lasers** even thought the **Dual Lasers** is superior to the **Burst Laser 1.** I find this very unusual, so I thought maybe there was something about the **Burst Laser I** that wasn't listed on the stats, but after doing some testing and crawling through the internet I can't find anything that would suggest the **Burst Laser** is superior than the **Dual Lasers**. The stats for the weapons can be found on the wiki. Is there some hidden stat that makes the **Burst Laser I** superior to the **Dual Lasers** , or is the odd price difference between the **Burst Laser I** and the **Dual Lasers** just that, odd?


title: What is the assassin's creed?

text: At some point in every Assassin's Creed game, the creed itself comes up, but I can never remember what it is. I know it has something to do with "everything is permitted" and there's another part about light and dark. Does anyone remember the full assassin's creed and what it means? Also I seem to remember Altair losing a finger during a part of his initiation ritual, and some of the assassins in later games have something done to their fingers (removed?) and I seem to remember this having something to do with the hidden blade. What's the story with the fingers?

title: When downloading a Wii U eShop game together with the physical copy will it get you twice the save files?

text: With games like The Wind Waker HD, New Super Luigi U and others, you have at least 3 savefiles. But if you download a new game digitally (through the Wii U eShop) and also buy the physical copy of the game, does it create a separate "channel" for the other version of the game? Thus allowing you to have twice as many save files?


title: How do I get rid of a guard stuck by the door without killing him or taking him down?

text: I'm currently doing the last mission for Vittori, where I have to rescue someone. Playing on Master difficulty It didn't take long for me to reach a room with a safe and a guard standing right in front of it. In order to loot the safe, I distracted the guard, but maybe I exaggerated a bit, since he freaked out, opened the door to call his friends, and has remained stuck there ever since.   When they gave up looking for me, I saved out of reflex. I regret that now... Since I'm going for the Moral Victory trophy, I don't want to kill or knock out that guard, but no matter what I do (running and throwing bottles around) he won't move away from that door, which also seems to be the only way to proceed in that particular level, as I haven't found any ventilation shafts so far. From time to time, I even produce enough noise for his colleagues next door to come investigate too. In the end, I even tried running right past the guard (screw remaining undetected), but I can't run past him; he is effectively blocking my way. It seems like the only way to make him move, is by attacking him (after he detects me, so I won't take him down), but I quickly get surrounded by 5 guards and die before I can make that one guard move enough for me to get past that door. It doesn't look like I can restart the mission either, so what can I do?


title: What are some effective strategies for boarding enemy ships?

text: When boarding an enemy ship, are there any strategies for killing enemy crew members? Whenever my boarding party corners an enemy, the enemy always fights until they're at low health (taking a fair chunk of my guys' health at the same time) and then runs straight for Medbay. At which point, another enemy standing just outside the door runs in to replace them. I could attack them in Medbay directly, but I've found that's suicide. Is disabling the enemy medbay with ship-mounted weapons the best case then? I usually struggle just to get their shields down. Or could I pile weapons-fire on the combatants (fire beams, anti-bio beams) - or would that harm my crew as well? I know that Mantises have the highest combat stats, but at the minute I'm having to make do with Rocks - my only Mantis crewmember valiantly gave his life attacking a sentry bot.


title: Where is the critical location for warrior?

text: I am fighting the warrior right now, and as with some YouTube videos I have seen, the critical location for it is where the warrior's stomach is. However, whenever I aim there, it never gives me a critical. Is there a specific spot or any gun requirement for getting the critical on warrior?


title: What factors determine the type of medal (bronze/silver/gold) for event participation?

text: In an event you can get a bronze, silver, or gold medal for your participation. I've been awarded gold in cases where I came in late and hardly put in any effort, and I've seen bronze when I worked my behind off. **So my question(s):** What factors determine the type of medal awarded? As noted in the comments it may be very hard to give a definitive answer to this question, this is why I rephrased so I'm not asking for a _formula_ , but merely for _whether a factor plays a role or not_ (factors like being in the area or not, participation time, doing damage, etc). If there's no official word about this, then it should still be possible to find an answer through experimentation (e.g. doing the same event twice once _with_ the factor and once _without_ ). **Update:** after re-reading the comment to this question I realize that this question is still a bit too broad, even after my earlier changes. There's easily 10 to 15 potential factors, and 8+ different event types, making for 80 to 120 things to test for. Changing the question to be about just one event type _might_ make it answerable, but would change the meaning too much. The question's interesting (at least, to me) nonetheless, so I welcome any improvements to make it more answerable. Until then, I'm voting to close as well. * * * For reference, borrowed from the GW2 Wiki, this is the medal thing I'm talking about: ![gold medal for an event](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4SeYb.jpg) On that very wiki, the section Event Rewards, on the Dynamic Event page has a formula for the amount of karma received, but no info about how the type of medal is determined. Has anyone experimented with the variables, measured anything, etc? Or is there official info from the makers of GW?

title: Where are the flies coming from?

text: I've just started playing Dwarf Fortress, and I'm noticing that at least 75% of my population (now 46 dwarfs) are complaining about flies. I don't see them anywhere, although I do at one point remember seeing a 'swarm of flies'. Google tells me that it's because I'm not putting my food in bins/barrels/containers but look at my stockpiles **ALL** I see are barrels, I started cranking them out specifically because of this. I had thought perhaps that they just had a really long memory, but recent births into my population proves otherwise as the babies appear to have an issue with flies too. What gives?

title: What are the working hours of Recycling Centre?

text: I have two recycling centres with maximum number of modifications and they are constantly congested - their storage of recycled garbage is constantly full or almost full (18-20/20 tons). As a consequence, the recycled garbage trucks are full and don't pick up more garbage which then piles up on the streets. I've been monitoring the situation a bit and it appears that the recycling centres process the garbage only during the day. Is this true / intended? What hours is the recycling centre supposed to be working? Also, quite often the recycling centre stops working entirely.. even though it has room for alloys/plastics/metal in its "output storage" and there are trade depots with appropriate empty lots available and factories out of materials. This appears to be a bug but even when the recycling centre works, it doesn't seem to be doing anything during the night. Or do I simply need more recycle centres? My town has population around 150k. Should I build more of them, three maybe? A friend in the region also sent couple of his trucks, but at times it's still not enough. The normal garbage trucks don't pick up the recycled trash, do they? It would be cool if you could get them to also pick up recycled garbage in case of any problems with recycling centres...


title: How do I assault a titan with a new character in BF2142?

text: I've recently picked up a copy of BF2142 and I've played a few games online. I've learnt a lot by watching the other people play but one thing still alludes me. When the shield on an enemy titan fails and there is a mad rush to knock out it's reactor. I don't seem to have the equipment to knock out the shields and the subsequent control panels behind them on my own. I have seen other players (with upgraded classes?) use remote detonators, but I don't have these in any of my classes. Is there any way for a new character to do a titan assault without the extra gear?


title: Why won't my Rock Band 3 Squier guitar detect when I play the higher strings?

I can't use my pick to pluck them, I have to do it by hand, and pluck very hard indeed. Is something wrong? Is my guitar broken?


title: What's a good strategy for determining the type of my pokemon's Hidden Power?

text: Pokemon Black and White has all new pokemon, and honestly, I'm not familiar enough with the game yet to tell you where you can find which pokemon. This is a problem, because I'm looking for a fast way to calculate Hidden Power in- game (I am aware that you can use IV calculators to determine what hidden power you have, but given the nature of IVs, you're outta luck for that method if your pokemon isn't already a reasonably high level and/or you've been keeping track of its EVs as well.) Back in Emerald, for instance, I could reliably find Poochyena / Mightyena to test if Hidden Power was Psychic, Fighting/Bug, Dark/Ghost. I could then go find a Wurmple to determine if my Fighting/Bug result (super-effective against the Poochyena) was Fighting (also super-effective against the wurmple) or Bug (normal strength). However, new version, new critters, my old plan no longer works; there aren't any poochyena in the game (or at least, not yet). Which common wild pokemon can I use to narrow down on the correct type of Hidden Power? (Assume I have access to Fly, and White, if it matters.)

title: How To Pick Up on the Warning Signs of Someone Who Wants to Kill Me

text: Recently, I picked Diablo 2 back up and have been playing lots of hardcore online. Once I get past the normal difficulty, I get extremely wary of other players and for some reason I think everyone is out to TK me. I really enjoy playing with others but the constant thought looming in the back of my mind that someone might be toying with me gives me the willies and takes the fun out of it. As a result, I usually just end up playing in solo, passworded games during Nightmare and Hell difficulties. So, I come to you Gaming community, with a plea for help to help me enjoy Diablo 2 hardcore again without worrying. What are the telltale signs of someone that has the intention of TKing? I'm familiar with the whole "TP out, Hostile, TP in, kill" and other similar tactics, but I'm looking more for how I can spot a TKer before it happens so I can look out for it. Additionally, what are some of the lesser-known tactics they use that I could look out for?


title: What do the Hull Stats mean?

text: I've just started playing SPAZ, and I'm trying to work out which ship hulls I should use. More specifically:   1. Stats like "Hull Strength" and "Hull Mass" don't seem to be explained anywhere (unless I've missed something). Please detail what each stat means. ( **EDIT:** the above were examples, I'm really looking for the details of all the stats, not just those two)   2. I can't tell if these stat bars are relative to other ships of all sizes, or only for the ships of the same hull size.   3. Should I always choose larger ships when I have the cash?

title: How do you 'outsmart 200 spiders' in Cut the Rope?

text: In Cut the Rope on iPhone, I have most of the achievements, except for "Spider Tamer" (outsmart 200 spiders) and "Calorie Minimiser" (lose candy 200 times). But I'm sure I should have both. I do have the lesser achievements (outsmart 40 spiders and lose candy 50 times). So I want to know exactly what constitutes outsmarting a spider? Is it just cutting a rope that the spider is on? Or do you need to successfully complete the level each time, or something else? And do the achievements need to be on multiple levels or only one? I've been playing 3-11 repeatedly just cutting the spider's ropes but no awards yet :(

Armed with this, a Google search turns up a lot of options.

Well, I guess I found the forest retreat but there were no elves. I tried finding the GOBLINS, but where it says the dark fortress is, there is nothing. And no matter how many times I try, how many different worlds I try in, and how many different sites I try, I can't find anything. Could someone help me understand what's happening and maybe understand how to find one? I'm using Dwarf Fortress v0.31.18, SDL.

title: Mass Effect 2: New Game Plus

text: After finishing the story of Mass Effect 2, we get the choice to continue to complete the different/unfinished missions throughout the game or to import our character and play through a new game at our current saved level and power stats. I have noticed that I do not level up at all during my new playthrough. I gain Paragon/Renegade points to help me with conversations but not at any stage have I leveled up. My powers and all characters no longer level up and gain power points. I only ask because I was able to play playthrough after playthrough in Mass Effect 1 and continued to level up; this is not happening in Mass Effect 2. If you know the answer, is that the way it is when you import your ME2 character after a playthrough or is my game/system messed up? Thank you to anyone who can help me with this. I have searched elsewhere but have found no answers at all.

title: Making money through trading players?

text: FIFA 12 Ultimate Team offers a cool auction system, where you can buy and sell players and items either through bidding or fixed prices ("buy now"). I have a few related questions:   * Is it possible to make good money (coins) through clever trading? As you have to pay for every bid you make (you have a limited amount of bids, which you can refill with coins) and the prices probably regulate itself pretty good, I could imagine that it might not be really profitable, even if you know what you are doing.   * If it is, what are good strategies? Which items are easy to buy at low prices and sell at high prices? Is it better to look for rare players with low "buy now" prize for example, or buy stuff like balls? Will some items grow a lot of value over time?   * Are there times of the day where the prices are generally lower/higher on the market?   * Are even bad rare items worth keeping because there will be collectors who want a complete edition later?   * What's the best strategy to win an auction? Bid early to throw off others? Bid last minute?   * Any other tips? I know an advice given here might well change the market and get useless in the process, but as not many FIFA players are on gaming.SE yet, I guess it's worth a shot. ;)

title: Dodging the Computer Virus's attacks

text: For those unfamiliar with the game, in Kirby Super Star, one of the bosses is called the Computer Virus, which is more or less an RPG style thing where you take turns attacking each other (while the boss is attacking you it's invulnerable, and it won't attack when it is vulnerable). Anyway, watching a youtuber do a no guard (and no ability) run of the arena, he claimed that the boss's star attack is undodgeable in the boss's first and third forms (the magician and dragon). If possible I'd like some verification. Is it possible to dodge the stars attack in the first and third forms of the Computer Virus without an ability or guarding? Here's the video of the fight requested. (The video description contains a thorough description of the difficulties of the computer virus fight without abilities/guarding, as well as lots of cursing, you have been warned.)

title: Looking for details on mob hitboxes

text: I recently acquired Torchlight as a part of the Humble Bundle, and I've been loving it. (much better than the Diablo-3 disappointment, grumble grumble...) I have, however, been running into issues with mis-clicks on monsters. Sometimes I hit the monster when I meant to move, and sometimes I move when I meant to hit the monster. Looking carefully, it almost looks like the monster hitbox is defined by the square of floor that it's occupying rather than the monster's model itself. Is this correct? Can anybody tell me how the hitboxes are defined for mobs in Torchlight? Bonus points if I could get a similar description for Torchlight 2.


title: Are expansion civs/natural wonders more likely?

text: I've played several games of Civ 5 with the Gods and Kings expansion, and it seems like every game has involved a similar cast of characters (Austria, Sweden, Byzantium) as well as many of the new natural wonders (the ones that give faith). This was interesting to see the new content, but now it is getting a bit repetitive. Am I correct in thinking that expansion content is more likely to appear than non-expansion content? Is there some way to modify this so that everything is equally likely?

title: Can I make pistons retriggerable?

text: ...by any other means than madly pulsing their input? The picture illustrates my problem. ![Piston blocked](http://i.stack.imgur.com/5kJzZ.png) The piston was powered up when both spaces between it and the obsidian block were filled with cobblestone. This is perfectly expectable. Now I broke the second piece of cobble, and I'd expect the piston to move the other block. It does not. How can I get the piston to act in this situation? (This is a reduced testcase. In my case the situation is more complex; there is a queue of stones blocked, waiting until needed. A piston pushes a block out of the front of that queue on demand, and the location after the removed block should immediately fill as soon as the "on demand" piston retreats. This doesn't happen because the queue even stopped momentarily, is stuck forever.)

The leaflet that comes in the box says that once I install the game, I should "redeem my Soldier Pack with the following code" (I'm guessing on Steam Service), but I've found no such option on Steam, if I click the DLC button on Steam it says there's no DLC for this game, and also trying the "redeem" option in the upper menu of the Steam client and entering the code on the Elite Soldier leaflet didn't work (says code is invalid). So please, if anyone has bought the PC DVD version and than has managed to activate his Elite Soldier Pack, can you please tell me how you did it?


title: How does Line Of Sight work?

text: I'm a little confused by how the LOS system works. On a few occasions I've had my units be attacked when I thought they should be hidden from the enemy. I do not mean just in Full Cover since I understand that doesn't confirm complete protection. I'm talking about instances where my units are on the other side of a raised area that should have entirely blocked sight. One notable occasion had an alien attack one of my units when a fountain stood between them, along with two or three steps upwards making the fountain area a very high section. Are there any tools, options or recommendations on how to better judge my troops visibility?


title: Changing the available powers of squadmates

text: Has anyone seen a way to mod the available squadmate powers? For example: replacing Kaidan's reave ability with shockwave. I've poked around in coalesced editors, and so far I've only succeeded in changing the squadmate's powers descriptions in the squad selection screen by changing items under the "selectinfos" line in bioui (coalesced editing). I know that it's possible to reassign talent points and pick a bonus power within the game. I want to add a whole new power to an ally.


title: Would your character lose crafting skill levels when switching guilds?

text: Take this example scenario... You have level 100 in Cooking and 60 in Woodworking. Visit Woodworking guild to switch to Woodworking; this should but a cap on Cooking, setting to effectively be level 60. Then, you level up Woodworking up to 100. Finally, visit the Cooking guild and switch back to Cooking. Will your Cooking skill be restored to 100, or will it have degenerated down to 60?


title: Does the ADDITIONAL GUNS option in Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business effect the difficulty of the game?

text: In Jagged-Alliance-2: Unfinished Business there is an option to add additional guns to the game. Does this increase the difficulty of the game (Say by giving your opponents better weapons while leaving your starting weapons the same), decrease it (Give you better starting weapons, give you more options latter on) or not really effect the difficulty of the game?


title: How do I survive the opening of Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business?

text: I got Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business on GoG.com a while back, as it was on sale and I heard it was similar to X-COM. I recently installed it, and while it seems interesting I can't survive the opening battle, even on Easy. I'm attempting to use cover, firing from prone, concentrating fire on 1-2 opponents at a time and taking the mercs recommended in the manual and yet the last time I tried I lost everyone but 2 mercenaries in my first battle. What am I likely doing wrong? Am I supposed to run from the first fight after the helicrash and build up strength? The manual says to enter the area and fight.


title: What are the side quests?

text: One of the achievements for Skyrim is: > Sideways > > Complete 10 side quests I have completed the game on two playthroughs now and I've not got this achievement. What quests qualify as "side quests", since they are apparently not misc. quests?


title: What does the Lock in the Blue Circle next to my Quest mean?

text: I was playing Lord of the Rings Online, and I noticed a lock icon in a blue circle next to a quest in my tracker. What does this mean? Is it related to the quest title being blue in the quest menu?


title: Is there any penalty to wearing stolen items?

text: I have a stolen silver ring. Does it affect people's reaction to me if I am wearing it?
