title: How does Zen Ball work?

text: I've been playing Peggle for a very long time, but I still don't know everything there is to know about Zen ball (master hu). Here's what I know (or at least think I know). Feel free to correct any of my assumptions or offer any other interesting facts. I'll give the answer to whoever provides the most useful or interesting insight into the algorithms behind Zen ball.   * Zen ball will simulate a few (maybe all?) possible shots within a certain arc of your beginning shot and improve the shot based on the ending score of the shot.   * After calculating, a percentage will usually appear (i.e. "240% more zen achieved") - This is the amount the score improved with the shot that Zen ball has given you.   * The calculation factors in style points when choosing which shot to choose. Some things I would like to know:   * Sometimes it won't list the percentage increase in zen, but simply "Zen Achieved" or "Maximum Zen Achieved." What do these mean and what's the difference?   * Based on my own experience, I feel like Zen Ball may have gotten a nerf between Peggle and Peggle Nights. Is there any truth to this, or am I imagining things?


Is it possible to change city size in SimCity? I heard many people complaining about being 2km x 2km, but don't know if somebody has done a trick or if Maxis is going to change it?


title: Does reflect prevent damage in Torchlight 2?

text: How does "%X reflect damage" enchant on items work? Is the damage applied to the character and the reflect in % to the enemy? Does it mean that it is useless with character with high percentage of block and/or dodge (or engineer with force-field)?


title: What are the benefits of signing a contract?

text: In Star Conflict, you can sign a contract with a faction. The UI does not describe what exactly the benefits are. Also, it gives you a warning that it terminates all current contracts, even though I am only a member of the Empire. So the questions related to this are:   * Is a contract additionally to the membership in one of the 3 main factions?   * What benefits do I gain from signing a contract?


title: How to view old battle reports in BF3?

text: After a night of gaming I wanted to check the battle report of one of my rounds in Battlefield 3. I am probably missing something or Battlelog is just borked as usual, but how do I view old battle reports? I can only see the last five maps and didn't find any way to see the older reports. (It was the sixth report I was interested in :p)


title: How can I fully complete Antichamber demo?

text: I have played the May 2010 demo of a game called _Antichamber_ , formerly known as _Hazard: The Journey of Life_. Walkthroughs are available on Youtube, see for instance this one if you are not afraid of spoilers and want to get a glimpse at the game. Yet these are a kind of speedrun, and I would be interested in a complete playthrough of the demo. Here is the map of the chambers at the end of my playthrough: ![map](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YK8Vi.jpg) Here are the achievements I got at the end of my playthrough: ![achievements](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eBVFd.jpg) I have put red dots at the locations of missing chambers. I am not sure these are available in the demo, since:   1. Some of them are listed, _at the very end of the demo_ , under a caption "Look at all of these unsolved puzzles." and a remark about the upcoming full game.   2. At the end of the demo, there is a no-return point when we get a binary gun (addition/subtraction), which would prove helpful in my opinion in some puzzles. So, has anyone played this game already? And have you solved additional puzzles?


title: What sorts of unlockables are there / how do I get them?

text: I've unlocked a new deity so far, as well as a few weapons and a spell. What other things can I unlock? How do I unlock things? Is it just random when I finish a match?


title: What does this enemy effect icon mean?

text: I'm seeing a strange icon appear over enemies on a random (fairly rare) basis. The icon I'm talking about is shown on the left side of the screenshot below: ![Strange icon](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KQRbz.jpg) In this screenshot, you can see it appear over two stone pillars. When it appears over normal enemies, they appear to run away from me. None of my gear currently seems to have a unique effect (it's all pretty standard stuff), so what am I missing? Any ideas as to what this icon means? **Update:** So I was able to recreate the icon on the practice dummy in town, but there's no associated effect icon above the enemy health bar! Here's yet another screenshot: ![Screenshot of strange enemy icon](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fSHD8.jpg) Note that the only two effect icons that show up are, in this instance, burning and my weapon's special effect (which happens to be silence, if I remember correctly). I've seen these icons outside of seeing the large yellow one above the enemy, so I don't think they are related. The mystery deepens...

text: This has been bugging me, if you choose to save the fake Rachni queen, does she help you? I can't find her in my war assets. Or does she just disapear?


title: Why do I have a 2 kill streak?

text: I got two kills and I'm notified with a logo that appears on screen. It's also written "Recon" I don't understand; I didn't chose the Hardline perk. My kill streak rewards are given when I get 3, 4, and 5 kill streak.


title: What's the best way to level my warrior?

text: In Dragon Age 2, what Attributes and Abilities should I focus on when leveling up my Warrior? I planned to keep him fighting with two-handed weapons and of course I know strength is important, but are there any things worth knowing, any attributes I can ignore completely?


title: Is Knight Lautrec of Carim an evil NPC?

text: I've just found an NPC locked in a cell, and rescued him. He told me he is _Knight Lautrec of Carim_ and he will give me a reward later. However, if I press him, he tell me: > I'm free. Now I can get back to work...   >  Keh heh heh heh... I'm worried after hearing this line. He reminds me of _Yurt, the Silent Chief_ in _Demon's Soul_ that went killing other NPCs after you freed him. Did I made a mistake when I freed him? Will he kill other NPCs? Should I kill him right now, while he is still sitting in his cell?

title: Is there a limit to the number of item in inventory?

text: I'm wondering if there is a limit to the weight one's character can have in it's inventory. In the character status page I can see that there is a limit to the weight of the equipment, but I don't find one for the inventory. Can I carry each and every item I find? If there is a limit, what is it? Where can I find it? Does it depends on character's stats (strength)? Is there a NPC that can store the items I want to keep, but can't carry?


title: After completing the 'main' quest, is there any sort of reward or recognition for your accomplishments?

text: So I finished the main story. I got back to Tamriel, expected some kind of a ... reward. You know, for saving the world etc. But _nobody_ I've spoken to seems to care at all about that. Am I doing something wrong or is the main storyline actually ... not that 'main'? In Oblivion, after finishing the game, I got a title, equipment, everybody talked to me like to a hero, there was this big _Martin_ Dragon in the Talos Plaza in IC, but nothing grandiose seems to be here this time :/ I don't mean this question as a request for opinions, I know that is not allowed at stackexchange, I just want to know if that's really it?

title: Does the timing of a game release affect sales?

text: I know that in Game Dev Story, the time you release your game can have a noticeable affect on sales (ex. early December). The in game hints and tutorials don't mention timing releases at all. Does releasing games at a certain time increase or decrease sales?


title: How are new research options unlocked?

title: Cannot save games after migrating PlayStation 3 save files

text: My PS3 recently YLOD, but I got it going long enough (via online video tutorials) to transfer my saved _Skyrim_ data to a new PS3. However, it says, "This user already has Skyrim saved data". It allows me to play from my saved point but it won't let me save at all on the new PS3. My old PS3 is kaput, so there is no chance of getting in and backing it up with PS+ (and I refuse to pay). Is there anything I can do?

title: Where do I put spies in Civilization 4 to protect against rival spies?

text: I'm playing **Beyond The Sword** and when I want to build a spy I notice they supposedly: `Helps Thwart Rival Spies`: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BXVoT.png) Should I leave a spy stationed at borders? Should I place them cities? **Does it matter where they are placed in order to effectively thwart rival spies?** I can't seem to find any correlation to where I put them and my success rate of stopping incoming espionage. The reason I ask is because I'm playing a world-scenario starting in 1000 as the Indian empire and the starting borders are all mountainous, that is, there are very few entrances I have to guard. They are quick to train and I'm getting constantly attacked by spies - not just in my cities but also towns, watch-towers, farms, etc. ## Update: I'm not sure if this has to do with anti-spy buildings (e.g. Intelligence Agency) or because I've stationed a spy in every city, but I'm seeing a _huge_ increase in these messages: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9180a.png)


title: Advantages of Chain Mail over Studded Leather

text: So my goal of becoming a Chain-Smith was slightly hurt when I was looking through the wiki trying to figure out how Quality of the armour affects damage reduction. When I noticed that Studded leather has the same damage reduction as Chain Mail being Moderate (Source). Not only that but Chain Mail receives a reduced movement speed and weighs more. Besides being easier to make does Chain Mail even provide better protection then Studded Leather?


title: What does this symbol and number mean?

text: See my screenshot - What does the tower symbol mean in the bottom left? And/or how is it different from the symbol in the top right? I know the top right symbol and number means how many floors you have, but the symbol and number in the bottom left is clearly different... The numbers at the bottom: Mine in the far left one and I have 17 floors. My friend is the middle one, and he has 40+ floors...![Tiny- towers](http://i.stack.imgur.com/A2ccF.png)


title: How do I beat my nemesis as a Sauceror?

text: I have beaten everything my nemesis has thrown at me, but _of course_ he had to have to ultimate final demon form. I keep getting beaten up in this final fight. He does ~100 damage to me every round, that wouldn't be a problem if I didn't need 4-5 rounds to dish out enough damage to get him down. Still no problem there, except that I only have ~140 hp, so after the second round I get knocked out cold. What stategy do I need to beat him? I have all the possible saucespheres cast and active.


title: How do I replace an XBox 360 DVD drive if the original drive is broken?

text: I bought a used XBox 360 drive with a broken DVD-drive. When I try to play any game, it says "Play DVD" on the launchboard. When I hit A, it gives me a white error screen (pics to come). The Internet tells me this could happen if the DVD-drive motor is dying, but also if the DVD-drive firmware was previously hacked incorrectly. Information on the 'net about replacing the DVD-drive is confusing and conflicting:   * Some places say you can just take any old drive from another XBox 360, but that didn't work - I still get the same error.   * Some places say you need to have the exact same manufacturer and model DVD drive, and it should work. I have reason to suspect this is not the original drive (see below), and there is _no place_ which can tell me what model DVD-drive my model XBox should have come with.   * Some places say you can use any drive from another XBox, but you need to hack it to match the motherboard's "DVD-drive key," a unique key matching every motherboard to the DVD-drive it came with. They say there is no way to get the key from the motherboard (without ridiculous hardware hacks), but you _can_ get it from the original DVD-drive, by hooking it up to a computer and using software which is also used by pirates. I followed all the steps, got the key, uploaded it to the new drive, but it still doesn't work. I suspect the drive it came with is not the original, or the original key was previously overwritten during a botching attempt to hack the drive. **I don't want to pirate games, I just want to have a working DVD-drive.** There _must_ be a way to replace a broken DVD-drive, right (how do the XBox repair shops do it)? **Is there any way to fix this freakin' Xbox!?**

title: Does Diablo 3 chat support gagging users on a channel (all spammers must be nerfed!)?

text: As a temporary fix to 3007 error, I have the [General] channel on.

Is there a in game command to permanently gag them or report them to Bliz?


title: Getting back into PvE

title: What happens if I get a free tank, when my garage is already full?

text: After having played the beta back in the day, I returned after a long break, to see that my garage had changed. Some of my tanks had disappeared, and I had to buy them again. I also had a few new starter tanks, because WoT had introduced new lines. I assumed that WoT had removed some of my tanks to make room for the starter tanks. However, after playing some more, WoT has given me a bunch or premium tanks as presents (most likely because I'm such a cool dude) – and I didn't see tanks disappearing. However, I do have 13 slots in my garage, which I'm fairly sure is more than standard. So, my question is, when WoT hands out these free premium tanks during holidays or whatever, what happens if the garage is already chock full of metal cubes of death? Do they give you a new slot? I am on the PC version.


title: What does a gold rank emblem indicate in Spies vs. Mercs in Splinter Cell: Black List?

text: In the player listing, while playing Spies vs. Mercs, I've noticed that sometimes the rank emblem is gold (or yellow). I can't find a pattern; usually it's white, but sometimes it's gold, and it changes sometimes, even for the same player. (For example, mine is usually white, but sometimes it's colored gold instead.) What does the color indicate?


title: How to clean dust and spider webs in my house?

text: I bought Breezehome and am very happy with it: it is a nice and cozy house with everything I need. However, I couldn't miss noticing dust spots and spider webs in several places. In dungeons it's acceptable, but in my own house? I sought some way to clean my house. First I tried to use Unrelenting Force to blow the dust and spider webs away - no luck. Maybe some fire will burn it and leave the floor/wall clean? No - it just made it worse. Finally a great idea hit me - broom! I found one, took it and was very disappointed to find I can't equip or use it in any way - also tried just dropping it on the spider webs but of course, that did not help. Am I doomed to live in a dirty house?

title: Random Lightning Strikes

text: I have been playing FTB for a while now and for some reason I am getting random lightning strikes occurring. There is no storm and the affect does not change when I disable the weather. I have read up on it and apparently it is due to Thaumcraft and having too much flux in one area (I haven't started on thaumcraft as of yet). I noticed that it said the flux could be reduced by planting silver wood trees. I did this (planted at least 7) and they all grew but unfortunately the lightning is still occurring. Is this a bug because it is becoming really destructive and laggy with multiple chunks loaded at the same time in the nether and due to quarries. How can I fix this? I have turned off fire spread but I just want to know how to stop the lightning. Also now that I have planted all these silvewood trees, creepy voices are being played (hopefully through the game). Is this normal?


title: Are Yasuo's Q stacks lost after revival?

title: Can I make infinite Bux once I have more than 50% floors?

text: Once I have more than half of the business floors, then when I use 1 tower bux to move in a bitizen, there is a chance greater than 50% that I will have the business for their dream job, which can provide _2_ bux in return. Is this true? It seems at this point you could constantly move new people in, get the bux from their dream job, then evict and repeat. Has anybody gotten to this point and actually made it work?

title: How does loot work in Darksiders 2?

text: I'm curious about what factors go into determining how strong of an item will drop from a certain creature or chest. I've noticed that when returning to "lower level" areas I'm still getting drops from monsters that are level appropriate for the area, however drops from chests in the area seem to be of equal level to my character (not the area). I've also noticed that some boss monsters give you a unique item. Will this item always be the same thing any time it is killed, or do these items change in levels/stats based on some factor? Additionally, are there any factors that change the chance of a better item dropping from a creature or chest? Such as a "normal" chest (the chest with the skull on the front) and the "horned" chest (Chests with the flat top and horns on the side) having different chances of dropping better items, or something to that effect?

text: Across my travels I've come across 2 business ledgers. I can't remember where the first one was (I think it was some sort of shop or a jarl's room), I found the second one in the stable house. Both of them had the following tooltip when moused over "Forge Numbers Business Ledger". Both times I attempted to use them a message popped up "There's nothing to change in the ledger". What do I have to do to be able to use it, and what does it do when I do use it?


title: Good map of Skyrim?

text: I bought Skyrim via Steam and also bought the online Prima game guide. It touts a whole map section, but fails to provide any kind of map of Skyrim. (Kind of lame for a game guide to not come with a map. I give the online guide very low marks.) So, I would like to know if there is a decent map of Skyrim out there yet. (Clearly I can just go to the world map, but I am trying to find a place I have not discovered yet.)

title: How is Academy Size increased?

text: In Endless Space, the Academy is used to manage your hired heroes. The size of the academy dictates how many heroes can be hired. Looking around the interface, I don't see how to expand the Academy size or by what means it can be increased. There maybe a research item or a game option to increase the Academy size, but I haven't found it yet. How does a player increase the size of their Academy so that player can have more heroes?

title: The proper way to evaluate a gaming PC

text: After years of always having the model of "last year" and thus suffering small but annoying lag in 3D games, I want to ensure that I get a top notch model that can play this year's games with -no- lag. What are the critical factors?   1. 3D graphics card. Looking at GeForce GTX cards (780 in particular).   2. The RAM.   3. The HD (SSD) But I understand after reading online (and playing games for years) that it's not only the 3D graphics card, but the bottleneck that has to be identified. So, how do I find this bottleneck when evaluating new computers?

title: Can withers be created in a mushroom biome?

text: I'm currently playing Minecraft on a factions server where raiding is a pretty common occurrence. Obsidian is an effective defense against tnt and creepers, but a wither can still get through it.

title: What are the unique benefits from each crafting skill in SWTOR?

text: In SWTOR, the Cybertech skill gives you the ability to make bind-on-pickup speeders. This means that all cybertech crafters will have speeders which other crafters cannot have.

If so, what are they?


title: Are skill points variable per level in Dragon Quest 8?

text: Finally got DQ8 for Playstation 2 - as I'm playing through, I'm noticing that the skill/ability points you gain per level is really variable and a little unbalanced. Between levels 10-15, the hero and Yangus were both gaining up to 8 points per level, allowing for rapid gains in their respective skills. Then Angelo comes along and starts gaining a paltry 2-3 per level. Everyone is now approaching level 20 - and while most party members have broken 40 in their main weapon skill, Angelo hasn't even made 20. I also spent some time grinding, and during that time I noticed skill point gains were a lot lower for the levels gained - but now that I'm back to the main story, they're improving again. My question is this: are skill point gains set (e.g. will Yangus always gain 5 points at level 15), or do they change based on certain factors?


title: Are kills you make after a checkpoint reset if you die in Tomb Raider 2013?

I should be close to my 50 bow kills and 50 headshots by now ;)

Due to this fact, someone decides he was done playing and rage quits. And of course the other two did the same as a 3v5 was definitely hopeless. I decided to stay just for fun so it turned into a 1v5. A one man army. I was curious what would happen if I was to leave too. Would the game end as though we had surrendered? Or would the game keep going for a certain amount of time just in case someone reconnects. This is especially relevant in cases where you are having a LAN party and the internet goes out momentarily. What about if you are having a LAN party with 10 friends and are in a custom game together. If the internet goes out, what happens to the game? Will it automatically end or will it continue for a while in case the players reconnect.


title: What is Extra data used for?

text: In the mansion there is an option to save Extra Data which says it's used in future titles, apart from the hint of future Etrian Odyssey games that could be made (possible remakes of 2 and 3) i am wondering, since 2 and 3 was made for the DS and as such can't be assumed the owner has a DSi to have an SD card in, is this Extra Data used in Etrian Odyssey 4 for the 3DS and if so what?

title: How do i get Mass Effect 3 DLC to work?

text: I went and brought i think all story based DLC for Mass Effect 3 (Leviathan, Omega, Citadel Part 1 & 2 and From Ashes) and i had already downloaded the Extended DLC which expands the ending. After waiting for about an hour for Leviathan to download i decided to let the rest download in the background as i played the game, i did this with the Extended Ending DLC. It took the rest of the night (from 7PM - 11:30PM) to download everything else, knowing that the DLC won't be working until i restarted the game i quit back to the x-box 360 dashboard and started the game back up, when i went into the menu 3 messages appeared "Checking Downloadable Content" -> "Checking Save Data" -> "Checking Downloadable Content" figuring it was because i had just downloaded about 6GB i thought id's wait, however after approx 1/2 an hour it was still sitting on the 3rd message, all i could do was attempt to connect to EA which i wasn't going to do as 1) i didn't have an account and 2) i saw no reason to since Leviathan worked fine (i could see the new mission in my journal). I had to shut the system down, the next morning i checked the data on my harddrive and saw an file about the title cache and it being incomplete, i deleted this and all the new DLC and the game worked fine (the 3rd message only appears for less than a second), i re downloaded all the DLC this time via the X-Box like i did with Leviathan and wait till it was all done. starting the game up again it did the same thing (3rd message remained), this time i waited 2 hours (10AM -> 12PM, 10AM was when i started watching Maria Watches Over Us and after that was finished i played Etrain Odyssey until it was lunch time at 12) and on occasion turning my controller back on, the 3rd message still remained. I read that there was a problem with the Citadel DLC so i deleted the DLC again and re-downloaded just From Ashes being the smallest, at first it worked and i could access the menu again (3rd message was around for a second) however i wanted to make sure it would still work after i returned to the dashboard and went back into the game. when i did this the problem returned, i did the exact same with Omega, same problem as From Ashes (at first could access the menu but after restarting the game the 3rd message remained) I have a Physical Copy of Mass Effect 3 (Omniblade Edition) and i installed both disks to cut down on load times, how can i get the DLC i spent $50 to work?

title: Does the Extended Ending DLC contain the Synthesis Choice?

text: When i saw my dad complete the game i remember him only having 2 choices, to destroy or to control the Reapers and i remember he chose to destroy, i remember the scene well as i remember seeing the shorts of the Illusive Man and Anderson and since i hadn't played the game i saw thinking _did the Illusive Man try and control them already and got all scorched as a result of what i saw in the cutscene_ , i also remember the 2 choices was Blue and Red and had been wondering if the control option was Paragon and the destroy option was renegade. Obviously my dad didn't have the Extended Ending DLC so when i got to the final choice i got the 2 choices he got, after listening to the Catalyst about what would happen to me i was thinking of control as i would probably end up like Madoka from Pellua Magi Madoka Magica, however then the Catalyst game me a third option to merge Synthetic and Organic, the Synthesis Choice. Now i am unsure what decisions my dad made up to Mass Effect 3 so i am wondering if the Synthesis Choice was added because i have the Extended Ending DLC or if i had done something throughout the Mass Effect Trilogy which allowed it and if so what was it.

I've checked my connection speed and it comes out at a consistent 45Mbps so it's not a slow speed generally. What settings can I check/change to combat this?   Are there ports I can open to help? (This never happened before and I never had any more ports open)   Any help would be appreciated.


title: What's the recipe to not getting obliterated in the final level of Serious Sam: The Random Encounter?

text: I've tried a number of things. I've tried shotgun-cannon-shotgun, but the shotguns just lack the firepower required in the final level. I've then tried rocket-cannon-rocket, but that leaves my sam's vulnerable for too long. I've tried then rocket-shotgun-rocket, and this kind of works better: I bring out serious firepower right away and the shotgun gets laggards as they approach, but this is hit-and-miss: if I ever lose any of the three that's a life lost. Certainly, during the level I get to have all the cool items: the super- heplful Armor All, the critical Serious Bomb, the handy-for-emergencies Serious Damage and the not-that-helpful Serious Speed; however using one means giving up firing for a minion for the full turn. I even have a few of each spared from the previous stages (not as much as I'd have hoped though), but I find out I can't quite complete the four side fights without using them -- and then I must face the final boss. If the developers' aim was avoiding Too Awesome To Use, it's certainly working. I'm not sure that helps me finish the game, however. I imagine there must be a reasonable way to finish the game, but the options seem kind of limited. How do I go about to solving this final level?

title: Best ships or fleets for out-of-sector (OOS) combat

text: Unlike in-sector combat, which is full of variables almost to the point of being unpredictable (especially if you mix in player skill), out-of-sector combat relies on a simple algorithm to determine the outcome. Given this, what ships or fleets will be the best at OOS combat, with the following considerations being used to determine "best", in order of importance:   1. Survivability. Replacing lost ships is a massive chore, and whoever is left alive at the end of the engagement is by definition the winner, so this is top priority.   2. Least amount of player interaction during service. With over 200 sectors, manually managing fleets can quickly become a full-time task.   3. Ability to engage targets at arbitrary locations.   4. FPS impact. Deploying 100 lasertowers around every jump gate and beacon may be effective, but will destroy in-sector FPS, making a whole part of the universe a no-fly zone for the player.   5. Least amount of player interaction during setup. This includes things like creating a massive complex and a fleet of AI ships to distribute missiles to M7Ms or M8s.


title: Good player ship for anti-capital ship warfare

text: The Hyperion Vanguard in Albion Prelude seems to have been declawed somewhat compared to the way it was in Reunion and Terran Conflict (less shields, capitals have significantly more hull, super-heavy capitals introduced, et cetera), so I am looking for a ship that will be able to destroy enemy M2 destroyers as well as M1 carriers and their fighter wings. What would be a good ship and loadout for this purpose? My main concerns are:   1. Ability to kill an enemy capital ship quickly. This will likely depend on available weapon mounts, total weapon energy, weapon generator and number of guns that can be brought to bear on a target, ideally front, top/bottom and left/right turrets.   2. Ability to survive enemy capital ship fire. Likely depends on ship profile, shields and maneuverability - a slender Split Python will avoid a great deal of projectiles that would hit a Boron Megalodon.   3. Ability to survive enemy fighter fire. This will likely depend on speed, maneuverability, profile and active defenses.   4. Average downtime between capital ship kills. This will likely depend on type of shields equipped (5x200MJ shields will recharge faster than 1x1GJ shield) shield generators (unless all ships have enough shield generator output to recharge shields at their maximum rate), although "venting" shields by ejecting and picking them up is an option for an otherwise excellent ship.   5. Sustainability. Having to build a missile complex and resupply at it after every 2nd capital killed can get old quickly.

title: How safe is a player-owned structure in high security space?

text: I am planning on setting up a player-owned structure (POS) in a 0.5 system once I finally finish grinding my corporation's faction reputation to 5.0 for the Amarr Empire, and I was wondering exactly how safe is such a structure in high-sec? Obviously a player or players wouldn't be able to randomly attack it without CONCORD intervention and it would be safe from capital class ships and higher, but will this make it completely safe? Additionally, am I able to fit shield hardeners, electronic warfare systems like sensor dampening and turrets to a POS in high-sec space? Is the safety of the POS further influenced by anything else (ie: putting it in a 0.9 system instead of a 0.5 system)?

Or is the chance affected by other things? For example,   * Do only certain levels give item boxes?    * Does bouncing the signpost around a few times affect the outcome?


title: What is the right order to play Skyrim?

text: I've read in some Skyrim related sites that many players have had problems with:      1) **Items in their inventory that are related to quests but don't work as expected.** (Plantea's flute, amulet of Talos, the 4 little things used in The Lost Ages quest, etc.)      2) **Related issues to quest that requires an event to trigger it.** (The Lost Ages won't become active even when you read the book _The Aetherium Wars_. Another example is when you kill the Boethia's priest, if you read the book while it's on his body will make the Ebony Mail inaccessible at the end of the Boethia's Calling quest)      3) **Visiting places that store special items related to a quest or not talking to people that gives you quests before you enter and "clean" those places.**      Probably there are more common issues, but now I just remember those.      I've already asked: Is it possible to play Skyrim without bugs?. The comments left by Batophobia were useful and I hope I can explain myself better this time.      According to my own experience, those problems could've been avoided if I'd have known the right order. (Instead of killing everyone in a cave, first I should talk to X or read Y, for instance) So, what I'd like to know is the right order of missions.      What I've tried is to finish a quest as soon as I get it, but not always work: when I'm in the middle of a quest and I get another, and if I start the second when I finish the first, sometimes is too late.      I'm not asking about a specific quest, I know. And I know this is not allowed in this forum. If you find this question too broad, please let me know how I should ask, because I haven't been able to play Skyrim without these issues and I'm getting tired of them.      In this question I got this comment: _In that case I suggest saving and trying it. Worrying about every single potential bug in a Bethesda game will drive you crazy. – kotekzot_. Call me crazy then, but I want a bug- or glitch-free Skyrim play.      I'm playing on Xbox.      Feel free to edit and/or to penalize this question; English is not my native language.

text: I need some of the goodies from the toad houses to investigate some secrets. But I just used up the Star (yellow) toad house. When will toad houses restock their goodies (for each of red, yellow and green)?


title: How do I use an item in Odin Sphere?

text: So, I can eat food to regain health. I press R2 to bring up the inventory, highlight a mulberry and hit X. That just lets me move it around. No other button works. How do I eat the mulberry?

text: Which parts of the game are carried over into the New Game+ mode, once you've completed the game.


title: How does sector 8 work?

text: I finally made it through an FTL game to sector 8 (on easy mode, of course), whereupon I found that everything changed. Now I start at the right side, and there's a flagship on the left, and nodes are getting picked off one-by-one. I also was given some repair nodes, but apparently with no time to get to them before the flagship reached my base. (Later I discovered that the flagship doesn't move one node per turn, but only one node per two or three(?) turns.) Furthermore, I lost the game when the rebels reached my base even though the flagship was still a couple of nodes away. How does sector 8 work? How fast does the flagship move? What conditions cause me to lose the game without getting blown up? (I realize this is more than one question, but I'm looking for an overall understanding of how sector 8 is supposed to work.)


title: Where's the best place to farm the Behind Closed Doors challenge?

text: In Splinter Cell Conviction, you can earn some P.E.C. points by killing 50 enemies whom you've marked while using a mirror or a snake camera from behind a closed door. It is massively annoying to use the snake cam on every door in hopes of finding one or two enemies behind it. How can I get this challenge out of the way as quickly as possible?

title: How many times moab maulers or moab shredder is required to pop a zomg?

text: Some says http://bloons.wikia.com/wiki/MOAB-SHREDR_Spikes 14 of these are capable of taking down an entire Z.O.M.G and its children. 14 if what? 14 stacks? 14 pieces? A stack is 10 of these things. MoabMauler takes 64 hits to bring down BFB. What about ZOMG? How many hitpoints the outer layer of ZOMG have? How does damage of Moab Mauler and MOAB Shredr computed? Each moab mauler do 10 times damage to MOAB. 10 times of what? How much each explosion worth?


title: What is the difference between Civilization V: Game of the Year Edition and Civilization V: Gold Edition

text: As the title states, what are the biggest differences between the two versions of the game? I'm really considering purchasing this game however I'm not sure which of the two versions of the game is better. Is there a huge amount of difference in the amount of content between the two versions? I'm not exactly sure how the DLC works for this game since this will be my first strategy game in years. EDIT: Looks like Gold edition offers a bit more. With the Gold version of the game will any future DLC be given for free to users who have already purchased the gold version (similar to how premium works for Battlefield 3 for those who've played)?


title: Do Drivatars drive "your" car?

text: In Forza 5 your Drivatar appears in other people's races. If you own a qualified car will it drive that car? Livery, tune, and all? for example, if your Drivatar enters a Modern Grand Touring race and you own a GTR will it take **_that_** GTR(with Liveries and custom tune) or use a GTR or use any random car qualified for the league.


title: Dark Souls 2 - Increase Melee Damage

text: Just a simple question here. I just watched a SL1 on NG+ kill Fume Knight hitting for 500dmg with a rapier and gold pine resin. I also watched another player with 40str/40dex and a twin blade with gold pine resin hit Fume Knight for roughly 600 per. My SL is 130, I'm pure melee with 30str/30dex, I use a +10 rapier or estoc with gold pine resin and I hit for 130ish... What am I possibly doing wrong? How is it even possible to achieve such high dmg on SL1? I'd like to start bumping up the game level.. but my dmg is just terrible for reasons unknown to me.

What is the different between a character set and a graphic set? The wiki is confusing. The wiki says about character sets: "A character set is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the IBM Code Page 437 (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics." Then it says about graphic sets: "Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out. The confusingly-named....." Wait, first the wiki said it contains all 256 characters and then it said it doesn't? Explain the difference to me.


title: Do the monster who killed you disappear when you restart?

text: I happened a couple of time that when I got killed by a monster in a certain area, when the game restarted, that monster wasn't there no more and the area seems to be cleared now. Could it be because they want you to finish the game so they remove every monster who killed you. Could be pretty lame if you only have to run and get killed to clear an area a process to the next room.

When I go to "Challenge -> Trial", it says: > Trial Mode is not compatible with Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. > The game will temporarily switch to Super Street Fighter IV Original. My questions are:   * Does SSF4AE also contain the SSF4?   * Is it possible to switch between the Arcade Edition and the Original? How? Do I need to unlock it? Remember, since I just got this game, I haven't unlocked anything and I don't even know what are the unlockables. ![Message shown after entering the Trial mode](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6z0Kd.jpg)

title: What are augments?

text: I told my minion Khem Val to synth me some pants, and three minutes later, I am notified that he has been "extremely successful", and has synth'd me a pair of "exceptional" pants. The item now has an "augment" slot, and it looks to be modifiable in the same way that orange items are... but I don't see anything about augments when browsing the mods vendors - only hilts, barrels, enhancements, etc. No Augments. So what is an augment? Where can I get them?


title: Is there an option/plugin that shows a player's Steam ID upon exit?

text: I was wondering if there was a configuration option, or plugin that showed a player's Steam ID upon exit. I'm having issues with a particular player who disrupts the server, then immediately leaves and rejoins with a different name. In case, you were wondering, the server I had in mind on installing the plugin on is a Jailbreak server, if that helps at all.


title: What does "Co-op Partner Locator" do in Dead Space 3?

text: I recently got the game (thank you humble bundle), and I was going through the settings and this caught my eye: ![dead space 3 co-op partner locator](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eSYiw.jpg) Question is, what is it? What does it do? On the main page it has an option to create a co-op game already, so why do I have a separate option to enable a "Co-op Partner Locator"?


title: How long in real time does it take for the Borgia Captain's to respawn?

He runs off, and I'm notified that he'll return when the guard shift changes. At that point I either give up or busy myself killing his guards till he shows back up. Ideally though I'd like to know how long to wait, and just go do other things nearby till he's back. Is it a fixed period of time, and if so - how long?

What happens when the spirit expires? Does Naix automatically infest the Brewmaster, or is he left out in the open? If he is left out in the open, is his damage effect triggered or not?


title: Should I spend all points at the "Prepare for the Journey Carefully" stage in Dwarf Fortress?

text: I'm a brand new player to Dwarf Fortress, and I've been looking at some beginners guides for starting a game. Although the guides tell you which skills it is worth investing in at the outset, they do not say anywhere if I should be spending the maximum amount of points that I can on my Dwarfs (this is after spending points on necessary items). Should I be maxing out my points expenditure at the start, or do I need to save these for any reason? Thanks in Advance.

I can't do anything until I've completed that mission. Any advise?


title: How can I find Alien Bases?

text: I know that that I need to do an alien base assault in order to unlock the full tech tree, and that the earlier I do it the easier it will be. However, I'm not sure on the best way to actually track down Alien Bases. I know that flying over a base with an interceptor will reveal it, but scouting the entire map to find alien bases doesn't seem very efficient, especially since I'd need to do it repeatedly since new alien bases are built as the game progresses. Are there any methods which will allow me to narrow my search area? Are there any other ways to track down Alien Bases aside from just flying over them with interceptors?


title: How does car ownership work in GTA Online?

text: So I bought my first garage in GTA Online but I have no idea what it's used for. I read that I can buy cars online, but if a car that I buy gets destroyed, do I have to buy a new one? If I leave a purchased (uninsured) car on the street is it gone forever? If I put a tracker on it, does it replace my old tracker? I stole an army Jeep and tried to put it in the garage and it said that vehicle couldn't be stored there, but I drove it to a garage and was able to put a tracker on it and insure it. Does that mean I own it?

The quest is back in my menu saying to go find the book. So I went back to Bleak Falls Barrow just to see if that would fix it and went through everything and the book isnt there but the arrow is pointing at the chest. I tried putting the book back in the chest but I cant remove it because its a quest item and the noise saying that a word of power is near is going but I have already got that word of power. Anyone else been having this problem? If so do you know how to fix it? (ps3) Thanks :)

I choose "wheel" as control (keyboard works fine) but after that any button or action in the G27 doesn't work. I can escape from the "select button" option, so I need to force close my game. I tried with the Logitech app but neither the "let the game" or "override game setup" options work. How do I configure it, and does it need special configuration options? My wheel works with other racing games like F1 2011, Dirt 3 and NFS Undercover.

text: Goat Simulator patch 1.1 introduced the ability to walk on one's front legs to perform a "Manual" for points. So far I've been able to walk around on my front legs only by freak accidents of button-pressing, often causing me to lose all the points I would've gotten from a sick combo otherwise. How do I defy the natural order of goat and make my goat walk on its front legs?


title: How can I most efficiently launch myself through my car's windshield?

text: One of the challenges in the Saintsbook is "Windshield Cannon" - I have to launch myself through the windshields of cars until I've met a certain distance requirement. I can't seem to figure out what causes me to fly through the windshield though. I found a sports car and fully upgraded it, then sent it full bore into the side of a guard rail. I didn't fly out. However, on my way to reset, I accidentally hit a nearby electrical pole at a much lower speed and I went flying. How can I guarantee I'll go flying? Is there any easy way to max out this challenge?

The pixelated one that you have when you're hurt looks very upgradable, but the giant one seems to look the same, even if I have a wood sword. Does upgrading improve both, or is the giant one just the best that it can be? What if I change weapons and buy the Claymore from that guy in the middle of nowhere, would the fully-healed version be better then?


title: Where'd MainMenu.lua go in Civilization 5: Brave New World? I want to enable mods on my Mac!

title: Can no longer connect to private Minecraft server

text: I set up a Minecraft server 1.7.10 on my personal server hosted on the Rackspace Cloud. The server is whitelisted, as it is intended only for my kids and me to play on. The server had been running fine for a couple of months. Then, we went away for the weekend, and when we came back, we could not log on. The server would send this message: "java.net.ConnectException connection refused". So, I logged on to the host machine, killed the process, and re-started the Minecraft server. Still, no dice. I checked the whitelist - that looked good. I tried turning off whitelisting - still nothing. Obviously, the client can reach the server - because of the Java message - so I don't think it is a port or firewall issue. I just can't figure out what the problem is, and why it would just start happening on its own. The only thing I can think of is that somehow the world got corrupted during a save at some point, and now something somewhere is garbled. Anyone have any ideas?

text: Fire breath baddies are giving me a lot of headaches in the final few floors of the game and are my main source of deaths. Even though my level 40 Devastator has pretty high fire resistance (at 152) and highly trained Defense (at 85), Dragonkins at level 38 can easily take 700 health each and require two slash attacks each. While I do life-steal 9 mana and 102 hitpoints per regular hit, I still end up burning a _lot_ of health potions. And I'm playing on Easy. What am I doing wrong?

(Note: I've remapped my reload key from the default [R] to [Space].) But I mashed the space key for a good long while with no effect, and pressing or holding the Interact button on my mouse (middle button in my case) did nothing either.

What is the LOTRO take on each of these?   * Blitz to maximum level because endgame is where it's at.   * Once at maximum level it's all about gear, gear, gear.   * Instance groups must be 1 tank, 1 healer, 3 dps.   * Professions are relatively useless (in terms of pve/pvp performance) except for the perks at or near maximum skill.   * Get every achievement possible (is there a LOTRO equivalent to achievements?)   * etc... feel free to add your own and provide how LOTRO is different

title: Why can't I use the terraform totem in Reprisal?

text: In Reprisal, I like to quickly clean up my newly conquered islands with the terraform totem. Unfortunately, when I tried to exert my will on the landscape in a recent game, I found I was flatly denied. You can see the crossed out cursor totem here: ![totem denied](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2p4Ko.jpg) I know that a certain amount of mana is necessary to use the totem, but the screenshot also shows that I definitely had enough mana for any terraform actions. ## What is preventing me from using the terraform totem?


title: Do experience gain items on your pet affect your character in Torchlight?

text: In Torchlight there are wearable rings that boost experience gain by a percentage. If I equip my pet with one of these rings, will this increase the experience gain of my player?


title: How many ranked games must I play to be ranked?

text: I was playing some ranked matches today. I got lucky and found a good AD carry to lane with me in the first match; we duo queued together a few more games and I ended up with 4 wins out of 4 matches, but I'm still Unranked with no visible points. Is there a minimum number of points required or a minimum number of matches played before I get my status?


title: Counter jungling, how to do it, is it worth it?

text: Most teams on ranked games involve a jungler. It gives the team three advantages over non jungling teams:   1. **More team experience** - a solo laner and a jungler will be a higher average level than two players in a single lane.   2. **More team gold** - same as experience, the solo laner can last hit more minions and if your jungler is killing dragon then the benefits can be quite large.   3. **Ganking potential** - freedom to gank any lane, forces players to be more defensive, makes teams spend more money on wards. In my opinion, if the enemy has a jungler, a great idea is to pick an anti jungler. Someone with steal, shaco, eve are ideal. This can be even more effective than having a jungler on your team too because:   1. Killing the enemy jungler usually means you can pick your enemy off when they are extremely vulnerable - easy first blood   2. Stealing a buff early can totally ruin a junglers pace, giving your whole team the advantage The downsides are:   1. You are behind enemy lines, a predictable anti jungle/first blood attempt will have the exact opposite effect of what you had hoped for.   2. It the jungler is a higher level than you, you are going to have a hard time countering them.   3. You will probably struggle in lane if you get killed in the enemy jungle, putting you at a huge disadvantage. Now the questions I want to know are:   * **Is it really worth the risk?**   * **What are the best characters and set ups to be using for counter jungling?**   * **What are the best methods of countering an enemy jungler?**


title: Do I get Kerrigan levels if I replay a mission?

text: If I am playing the campaign in Hard, and I cannot complete all optional objectives to get the `Kerrigan Levels` for a specific mission, can I replay it immediately upon finishing it but in Normal to try to complete everything and get them? Or only the first one counts?


title: Should we use slow or fast weapon on the wizard?

text: Should I max out DPS, or damage? I like arcane orb. Will the amount of damage enemies get depend on damage or dps? Does slow but big damage weapon better than fast and low damage weapon if DPS is the same? Note: My understanding is that I agree with all the answer. Pick high damage weapon. However, according to http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/06/16/five-diablo-iii- wizard-myths-tested-and-debunked/, only blizzard is not affected by attack speed. In fact, ias (improved attack speed) works so well, that blizzard (the company, not the skill) decide to nerf it. The article also said that equipping ias (improved attack speed) will increase hydra damage. It seems that dps is the one that's used instead of "damage".
