title: Oddly predictable stutter, only in Crysis

text: So here's my rig: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. AMD Phenom II x4 810 (2.6gHz) 4gb DDR2-800 AMD Radeon 5850 1gb, connected via HDMI to a Samsung 47" 1080p LCD TV. I can play other games fine, though the ones I play the most are Civ V and UT3. However, Crysis exhibits an odd stuttering... It will run incredibly smoothly, with frame rates often in excess of 50fps. However, about once a second, there's a small hitch or stutter. This is the only game I've seen this behavior in. This is not the microstutter exhibited by SLI systems, as I don't run SLI. I doubt it's texture streaming, as it occurs too often and too reliably (texture streaming stutters should occur when moving, yet this occurs even if I'm standing still). It occurs no matter what settings I use, whether 1080p w/ everything on Highest, or 800x600 w/ everything on Low. I've tried disabling all background programs except my Norton antivirus. If I can't find other solutions, I'll try disabling that - after I first disable my network connection. Sorry, I don't think gaming is important enough to compromise the security of your PC. Any other ideas about what could be causing this problem?

title: What to do with workers in Civilization 5 when all tiles improved?

text: The city ai recommends a ton of workers early on. It is great when the city is growing fast, but when the city population starts to stagnate, I get stuck with a lot of workers. Now with this other question telling me not to build roads between cities smaller than 6 population, I don't see much use for a lot of workers so after a few hundred of turns (epic speed), they all get fortified until cities grows. Is there something special to do with them actively? For example in Civilization 4, whenever a worker was mining, it had a slight chance of finding a ressource so you could just build/clear mines with hopes of finding something useful.


title: How do I defeat Kai Leng in Cerberus Headquarters?

text: At the end of my assault on the Cerberus Headquarters I unfortunately didn't meet the Illusive Man in person so that I could put a bullet in his brain. He left his assassin Kai Leng though to deal with me. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jWT1y.jpg) I have to say, compared to him the Reapers are just pushovers, I'm having a hard time even just surviving long enough to scratch his shields. His shields can take an enormous amount of punishment, and when I finally got them down once his health bar didn't seem to move at all. Shortly afterwards he had his shields up again, came to close to me and just killed me. So, how do I defeat Kai Leng?

title: Which weapons are bolstered by which skills?

text: In Payday 2 there is a set of weapons and skills that you can get to improve certain aspects of their usage. What I can not find however is which weapons the skills affect and if there is any overlap. Some of the weapons are easy to tell, like the SMGs. But the rest seem like they could fall into two groups. The skills break down as such:   * Equilibrium - Pistol   * Gunslinger - Pistol   * Kilmer - Assault Rifles   * Leadership - Pistols and All Weapons when Aced   * Shotgun Impact - Shotgun   * Shotgun CQB - Shotgun   * Hard Boiled - Shotgun and All Weapons when Aced   * Overkill - Shotgun, Saw and All Weapons when Aced   * Rifleman - Assault Rifles   * Sharpshooter - Single Shot Weapons and All Rifles when Aced   * Mag Plus - All Weapons   * Silent Killer - All Silenced Weapons   * The Professional - All Silenced Weapons There are some of these that are obvious. What I am wondering though is about cross over. Are the single shot shotguns considered Single Shot weapons for the 'Unlocking the Sharpshooter' skill? Do pistols that are single shot count as single shot weapons? Is the M308 a single shot weapon only or will it gain the benefits of skills like Kilmer and Rifleman that affect assault rifles?

title: Is it possible to rename your characters after starting a game?

text: I recently started a new game and actually spent a decent amount of time building my characters instead of using the pre-built stuff. However, I completely forgot to give them names so now everybody is named something like "New Character". Of course, this isn't game-breaking in the least but it's annoying (and makes me feel a tad stupid). Is there any way of changing your character's names after you've started the game (either officially or through some amount of moderate hackery)?


title: What is the key to a good sneak attack build?

text: It's my second char, after a pure mage. It's supposed to be a one- handed/archer sneak attacker with Light Armor. The build so far: Race: Breton (for magic defense) Level: ~18 (below 20, cant check right now) Archery: 53, Overdraw 3 Sneak: 48, Stealth 3, Backstab, Deadly Aim One-Handed: ~25-30, Armsman 2 The rest of the perks are in Alchemy and Speech for making money, to pay for level-up trainings. First I leveled Archery with Faendal to 50, then I got Alchemy to 50 for money and poisons. Next I want to get Athis as follower for free One-Handed training. I always prefer combat perks as they become available over money-making perks. Equipment: Imperial/Elven Light Armor, Dwarven Bow/Arrows, no Enchantments so far. Now the problem is, some enemies go down with 1, at most 2 sneak attack arrows. But there are many regular mobs (not to mention bosses) who have so insanely much health and/or armor, they can easily eat 10 sneak arrows, making for a very slow and tedious game. Additionally, one little mistake and it's reload time, since I cannot really stand against such opponents in open combat, even if they are already half-dead. Coming from my level 40+ destruction mage who can obliterate most anything with one or two dual-casts at the second-highest difficulty level (first char) and who is practically immune to magic, I am very disappointed so far. I even had to turn down the difficulty to normal, with little effect. So, what am I doing wrong, or is a sneak attacker always that weak around this level? What area do I have to improve most to one-shot most targets? Or do I have to start over with a new race and build?

title: Copying WoW Addon settings between characters

text: I have several alts, and I try to keep all the addon settings consistent between them. With the exception of ones like Gatherer on my tailor/enchanter all the addons are on for all the characters. Certain addons like Recount (and Gatherer) claim to be able to set a profile that can be referenced across all characters, but these don't seem to exactly work; load the 'profile', make a change, but it is not reflected on another character, even after reloading the profile. So, is it advisable to simply copy the files from one character folder to the others to get all settings consistent? Is there a better way to accomplish the same? I would hope something short of doing a diff on the files and reconciling. **UPDATE** : I just went through and copied the files over to my other characters, no significant issues. I did check the files first just to see if anything would get fubar. There are actually only a handful of files that you need to copy if you want to get the layout and config and addons in sync. In your main character folder (or from wherever you want to copy the settings):   * layout-local.txt   * config-cache.wtf   * SavedVariables (directory) Thats it! You will probably have to recheck the 'character specific' key bindings box if you have set any up. Copying only the above files will prevent you from overwriting those bindings.


title: Weight vs. Speed for Road Rage/Racing

text: In Burnout 3, the Road Rage game mode, you are tasked with busting other cars. In racing, you are tasked with getting to the finish line fastest, and you can also take out cars. Each car has a weight value and a speed value. My question is, what is the best blend? What gives you the most destructibility while at the same time making sure you don't come in dead last speed-wise? (I am not looking for an opinion; I am looking for a specific speed and weight in which I can still catch up to the lead car, but still take out other cars without being slammed off the road)

To optimize the mission running I'm trying to get missions that are close together, but I can only decline missions without standing loss once every four hours. If I could decline missions more often, it would make it easier to optimize the routes and get misssions that are close together. What I'd like to know is _how much_ standing I lose when declining a mission, that would make it easier to gauge how often I can decline missions without hurting my standings long- term. How much faction, corporation and agent standing do I lose for declining a mission? How much is that in comparison to the standings I gain, so what percentage of missions can I decline and have my standings stable over time?

title: Do DotA 2 heroes have the same "fun" names as in WC3 DotA?

text: In WC3 DotA, you would occasionally (1 out of 10 times) get little fun nicknames for your hero instead of their actual name (for instance, Puck!! for Puck, Clinkz Eastwood for Clinkz, YaphetS for Shadow Fiend, etc). My question is, is this feature part of DotA 2? If not, is anyone aware if Valve plans to add those names, or are some of them copyrighted by Blizzard?


title: How can I get my party member "in range"?

I've tried swapping him out with the party member in my second slot (who I _thought_ was using a longer weapon), but that just makes the character I swapped with unable to reach the enemy. **How can I ensure all of my party members are able to attack?**


title: How does hearing range work?

text: In some situations in League of Legends, you can hear things that you can't see. For example, I'm pretty sure you can hear some enemy skill uses in a nearby bush. I haven't been able to find any documentation about this mechanic, and am wondering how it works. For example, knowing the following might be useful:   * Assuming I don't have sight to the blue buff, if I'm on the "outside" of the wall around the golem camp, should I be able to hear an enemy working on taking the golem down? (Same thing for wraiths.)   * Can I hear skills used from a bush? (Which ones?) Assuming I can hear things that I can't see: what is the range of hearing?

So, in Mass Effect 1, I had a romantic relationship with Ashley (what can I say, blue just doesn't do it for me). In Mass Effect 2, I left her in the dust and shacked up with Tali. Is there any way in Mass Effect 3 for me to repair my relationship with Ashley? Should I just pursue Tali again instead? I haven't gotten to the point where she's a squad member yet, but I do understand I'll pick her up eventually. Will either of these cause problems between the two of them?

title: Is there a way to pinpoint the locations of the special enchanters?

text: In my first playthrough of the game, I started a notebook where I wrote down all the act numbers and dungeon names of all the special enchanter locations (Boris the Stout, etc) as I came upon them. Now I am on my second playthrough and I am finding entirely differently enchanters or sometimes no enchanters at all. I researched a bit and it appears that the locations of these special enchanters are completely random. I'd like to think that there is some way to know where to look for a specific enchanter. Surely, it can't be _completely_ random. Is there at least a known cycle of locations where these enchanters can be found?

title: How can I mod Minecraft 1.7.9?

text: I've looked up a lot of tutorials on YouTube and all of them only work for versions of Minecraft prior to 1.7.9. I first got a Minecraft Coder Pack (MCP) off of this website, but then realized that only decompiles Minecraft 1.6.4. Then I found a more recent MCP (that's not on the website for some reason) and it is version 9.03, downloaded here. This decompiles Minecraft version 1.7.2 (when I followed this video's instructions, I run the decompile.bat file and it says `Json file not found in C:\Users\mike\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions\1.7.2\1.7.2.json`). Basically I can't decompile Minecraft 1.7.9, but I can decompile older versions. However, I don't have any older versions downloaded onto my computer. I have only 1.7.9. Then I tried using Forge, but realized that most videos were using versions of Minecraft prior to 1.6.4, meaning they use the bin folder that does not exist anymore. Even after trying to figure that out as well, the decompiling would never work. I tried to do what this video did, but couldn't replicate it. Then I finally looked at this video about using Forge and I could replicate it, but this didn't decompile Minecraft. It just set up a workspace in Eclipse that I'm not sure how to use. **TL;DR** **I can decompile Minecraft 1.6.4 and 1.7.2 but I can't decompile version 1.7.9. Should I download an older version of Minecraft, wait for an MCP for 1.7.9, or something else? Is there something I'm missing, where I actually can decompile and mod Minecraft 1.7.9?**

title: Do console commands affect Steam achievements?

text: I've painted myself into a corner and am forced to choose between abandoning a couple hours' progress or cheating my way out of it. Unfortunately, I can't find hard data on if/how the use of console commands affects the unlocking of Steam achievements. I've heard a few conflicting theories and can think of a couple more:   1. I have heard that using any console command, ever, permanently prevents that/all characters from unlocking achievements.   2. I have heard that using any console command prevents you from unlocking any achievements for that "session" (variously, until you load a save or restart the game).   3. It seems reasonable that certain console commands (such as `tgm` — Toggle God Mode) might prevent the unlocking of achievements while active and/or others (such as directly manipulating skills/perks/etc.) permanently block achievements for that character once used.   4. It also seems _possble_ that console commands have no effect on achievements whatsover (at least, I have not yet seen evidence to the contrary). Do we have **any** hard info on this? Official sources, original research, _anything?_

title: How do I remain undetected for the "Cloak and Daggers" mission?

text: _[multiple spoiler alert]_ Early in the game there's a side mission "Cloak and Daggers" that has a secondary objective, "Remain undetected while in DRB territory." Eventually I gave up and just went in guns-a-blazin', but I'm wondering whether I missed a sneaky entrance. I found three ways in:   1. The main alley leading into DRB land. The main entrance is protected by a couple of thugs (instant detection). There's some rubble and a concrete pipe immediately to their left that I tried sneaking through, but it was such a frontal entrance that I always triggered somebody's alert.   2. Moving down the street to the left (left as I face the alley) I come to some stairs in an alley that take me to a rooftop with sneaky access to the DRB zone, but requiring a 15' jump across to a DRB fire escape. With leg augs I'm sure I could make that jump, but without them I kept splatting in the alley below. Rather than jumping I tried leaving the roof by walking along some vent-work to the left, but could never make it from the vents onto the DRB fire escape.    3. Still further left down the main street is a door that leads to a tunnel with DRB access. It's blocked by large crates, and eventually I bought the Lifting aug to get through this way, but there are a couple of thugs here that always detected me. Am I missing another way in? Or can I get in undetected through one of these entrances without the leg augs?

text: At the end of my second playthrough of Bastion, I was roaming around one last time around the Bastion area and noticed, to my surprise, a mailbox at the bottom right corner of the central hub. I hadn't seen this before, but apparently it had been there most of the game. I can interact with it, but I just get a witty comment or two from the narrator. ![You've got mail! Except you don't.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7EwNT.png) While I can't imagine that the Bastion gets much mail, I feel as though there might have been some sort of purpose for this mailbox other than atmosphere. Am I wrong, and is the only reason for the mailbox to add atmosphere? Or is there some sort of reward or backstory revealed for checking in on the mailbox often or at the right times?

title: Blood-rose bug in “The Watchmaker”

text: I am currently re-playing _The Watchmaker_. Unfortunately I have gotten stuck in exactly the same place I did the first time I tried to play it several years ago. After the sand-trap, Darryl has to pour the bag of blood on the rose, but instead, he _drinks(‽)_ it. I tried searching for an answer, hoping that there has been a fix or solution since the last time I looked (~2004), but all I can find is the same complaints and speculation. There do not seem to be any updates or patches for the game and Trecision has long since gone out of business. The best I can do to work-around it has been to download a savegame which unfortunately was made not only _after_ he pours the blood, but after a cinematic with a lengthy conversation between Darryl and Jude. I cannot find a savegame that was made from just before he pours the blood. The next best thing I could do was to search for a video of the game from when he pours the blood to after he gets the necklace from Jude, but unfortunately the only one I could find is in Checz. As such, I am _at best_ , missing out on a chunk of the game and an _important_ part of the story; and at worst, unable to play the game at all. I tried a bunch of different things, but sadly none of which worked:   * I made a list of every object that the person who made the savegame had and made sure to get all of them myself   * I made sure to visit Jude before pouring the blood on the rose so that she complains about it being a bad time because of a situation   * I have opened the book and read the bookmark (in fact I did all of these things with both Darryl _and_ Victoria just to be sure)   * I tried having each of Darryl and Victoria be the one to get scolded by Greta   * I tried disabling all of the acceleration options and using the lowest resolution in the game's setup program   * I tried removing the speech files that are installed separately   * I tried examining the data files to see if there is a way to find the bug and fix it, but there are only two binary files and no scripts   * I even tried a no-CD patch and loader, but they didn't fix it either    Does anyone have any information on how to get the game to work? At the very least, does anyone know where I can find a savegame that will work, but from _before_ Darryl pours the blood?


title: Why won't my nether portal bring me back where I left?

text: On our minecraft server, I've built a Nether portal in my basement. Which connected two-way (tested) to a location in the Nether. ![Basement Nether Portal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZipFE.jpg) This nether portal took me to an area in the nether which was a small cave.   I dug upwards and surfaced close to a Nether Fortress. After clearing the fortress of Blaze spawners, I decided to 'move in'. So I went back to the portal, dismantled it, and reactivated in in a location in the Fortress. ![Nether Fortress Portal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VRZ3L.jpg) The fortress would be within the same 128m radius I would assume as it's really close to the original place. Literally some steps to the surface, then a ladder up the nearest Nether Fortress bridge support. Now, taking this portal back to my original doesn't work, I spawn deep underground in an Abandoned Mine Shaft. I read somewhere that my Nether portal has found a 'better match' and this could be remedied by disabling the 'wrong' portal in the mine shaft. However, upon multiple attempts, a new nether portal is dynamically created in the same area. See screenie for example. You'll see two 'stacked' portals on the left (from my different attempts at disabling) and then the current active one on the right. ![Weird Dynamic Nether Portal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/n1ryt.jpg) My question is, how can I make sure these portals go to the correct place. Is it a matter of returning the portal to it's original location or am I stuck for returning to the basement?

Except when I exit the Nether, it takes me to a new portal a distance away. I can use that portal, but it won't let me use the original one - when I try to disable the new portal and use the original, it puts me somewhere different instead. I've had this issue both on the Mushroom Island where I live and another smaller grass island - on the grass island, both attempts of exiting the Nether put me on a platform over the ocean. Any suggestions?


title: Strange nether portal bug

text: I'm playing on a private vanilla server with a friend. When we come back from the nether, we don't come out in the nether portal near our house, we come out in one that we didn't build deep underground. This happened in our last world too, the only difference was the new portal was overground but far away from our house. Why is a new portal generating when we should be coming out of the same one? (We only have one portal in the nether and overworld and neither have been moved).


title: Why do I come out of a Nether Portal other than the one that I made?

text: I have built a house in the sky with a Nether Portal in it. When I go into the Nether Portal everything is perfectly fine but when I go back home I don't spawn back in the portal I used to go into the Nether; I spawn in a new Nether Portal somewhere on the ground far from my original portal. Is the problem that my Nether Portal is in the sky?


title: Where is the DayZ saved game file located?

title: Which versions of Need for Speed after NFS: Porsche Unleashed/Porsche 2000 have split screen?

text: I used to play the old Need for Speed versions that had split screen. I am planning to buy a new one, but I do want split screen. Looking at the Need For Speed wikipedia article I saw: > The game [Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed/Porsche 2000] is also the first > in the series since the first NFS game to not feature a split screen mode. Reading that quote, it seems that after this game no more Need for Speed games provide split-screen ability. And if that is true it's a pity. So my question is:   * **Is there any version after Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed/Porsche 2000 that has split version?**


title: Do stronger Conjuration spells make weaker bodies stronger?

text: I've noticed you can summon weak creatures like elk and wolves with any level of Conjuration Reanimation spell, and was thinking to myself "Surely, if it cost that much magika to cast revenant than that revenant wolf must be beast compared to a raised zombie one". Is this assumption correct?


title: How do I maximize points from loops?

text: Loops are one of the new obstacles in Runner 2. The game only mentions "Mash Space" (jump), and I've noticed that, while I've yet to fail a loop, I've gotten mixed point values from them. _Some_ of this I can attribute to entering the loop with a different bonus multiplier (i.e. Mega. vs. Extra), but the other part of the points seems random. Is there some trick I'm not getting?


title: What are the main differences between Bit.Trip Runner and Bit.Trip Runner 2?

text: How many points does one get when you "dance"? How many seconds does this last? I'd like to know so I can cram as many of these into open parts so I can get more points.

And why did I get a counter saying 1/25 Congratulations when I beat it?


title: What is happening while I'm sitting at the load screen?

text: When loading into a game sometimes it takes a real long time due to just one player. Often you hear the "toaster" jokes once everyone gets in game referring to the assumed poor quality hardware of the slow loader. I always assumed the long loading times had more to do with network latency than their actual hardware. But that's just because I have no idea what's happening in that time frame. So is the wait time actually because someone had a slow computer, or is it because they had slow internet?


title: Chances to get Rare Items

text: You're probably expecting a 'rage' post about never getting Rare's, but it's the contrary. I've been playing for the past few days with a friend, and I seem to get a rare item on an average of 10 minutes per piece. Whereas my friend only gets rare pieces when it comes to boss levels. Being a DH, and my friend a Monk, is there any class that by default gets rare pieces more frequently than others? Or certain levels, bosses?

title: What are the base Line of Sight values for units in Age of Empires 2?

text: I've been searching the internet for a chart or even a wiki with either compiled unit info or various individual information about units in AoE2 (either AoK or AoC expansion, preferably the latter) that gives the basic number of tiles the unit can see assuming all things being equal (flat ground, no upgrades). I have found nothing so far. While various technology upgrades mention +2, +4, etc. LOS to buildings or units, I cannot find anything that is telling me the base value to begin with for the various units. A Scout has more than a Villager, etc., but not hard numbers. I would like to know if anyone is aware of a resource for this, or has done a unit by unit study themselves (I prefer not to embark on such a study myself if information already exists). The best answer for me would be an actual listing here of the LOS values for units (including Age of Conquerors expansion), and if copied from information from another web source, the link to that as well.

Here's specifically what's happening.   * I click "Play" and it asks if I want to go to the settings or play the game.   * Clicking either one will pop up a little "Launching" box for a millisecond, and the title in my library will go yellow for a millisecond, then nothing else happens.

title: TDS Unexpectedly Stopped after Imperial Propaganda Challenge Began (march 2014)

text: I've been playing TDS without issue since around Christmas time. There was just a recent update a day or two ago (today is march 21st) and I didn't notice anything funny until I opened up TDS this morning. I was greeted with the Imperial Propaganda Emperor banner that was announcing the new challenge (decorator droid challenge). I was eager to begin playing. I sent my first decorator droid to decorate a level. After that I clicked on the Imperial Officer icon in the top right corner. The game popped up a message that read "Tiny Death Star has unexpectedly stopped" and it asked me to report or hit ok. I hit ok the first time and opened it back up and tried again. Same effect. So I just kept playing as normally hoping that it would fix itself with a patch or something later on. As seems to be the case, I couldn't leave well enough alone so I began searching here to see if others have had this issue. Then I got the bright idea to just restart my phone. Since the reboot, every time I try to open TDS, I get the unexpectedly stopped message during the Lucas Arts screen and it won't even open up. This is extremely frustrating. And I don't dear uninstall and reinstall the app for fear of losing all of my hard-earned data (levels, bux, coins, etc). I'm not linked on a FB account. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4, running Android 4.4.2. Tried clearing my Cache. No change. **UPDATE: 4:35 PM CST 3/21/14** I figured I would try to rule out any other things, hardware related. So I moved the data from my SD Card to the Phone internal memory. After doing that, I was able to open and play the program. But it still stops unexpectedly when I click on the Imperial Officer, or the Album (in the menu) or the Levels (in the store). I'm curious to know if I can reinstall just the last update as everything seemed to play well up to that point. If I could reinstall, maybe it would fix the issue. Any input on where I can find the file for that update?

title: What are some strategies in Pokemon to build a competitive party?

text: So, I've been playing Pokemon since the first generation was released in the US when I was maybe 9 years old. I've recently stated to get back into Pokemon, but the thing is my strategy is still the same one I had when I was 9, and as you can imagine, it's not very complex. But in discussions with people about the game, I continually find there are so many more levels (pun intended) to it than just grinding a few Pokemon I think look cool and who are the opposite type against whatever Gym I will be up against. What are some strategies in Pokemon to build a strong party (or parties)? And what aspects of the game should 9-year-old me have learned to be better and actually be able to beat my friends in duals?

title: Civilization 5 great prophet mod?

text: In the early game Great Prophets function nicely to create and enhance religions. However, later on, I find their effect on religion entirely overpowered. They can be used to convert _entire cities_ , and the AI usually goes for my holy cities and those that benefit greatly from beliefs I have chosen specifically with those cities in mind. A city of millions of people in 1960s just drops the religion they've been following for a couple of thousand years and completely converts. So the question is, is there a mod for great prophets that prevents this from happening?

title: How can I make the sensitivity reasonable?

text: I was having a mouse lag issue in Dead Space, and I followed the useful instructions here which completely solved that problem. It introduced another problem, however, which is that the mouse sensitivity is very, very low even when the sensitivity bar in the options is turned all the way up. Luckily I have an expensive gaming mouse and I can increase the sensitivity on the mouse to make it playable, but it's _still_ too low even after doing that. When I right click to aim, sweeping the mouse over a foot turns the view about 30 degrees. It's more playable than it was with the mouse lag, but this is a problem too. Is there any way to remove mouse lag but still have reasonably high sensitivity?

If you look closely you can see there are 2 more switches that I can't seem to get to.               -------------------     |     L     \   * |     |B(X) L     \     |     |     L     \     |     \\\\\\\-----\\\\\\\     |     \  S2 \     |     |S4   \     \     |     |     \     \     |     ------\\\\\\\\\\\\\     |     \     |     |     |S1   \     |   S3|     |     \     |     |     nnnnnn\\\\\\\\\\\\\     |     n     ?     |     |     n     ?   * |     |E    n     ?     |     -------------------      \---- or |||| is unmoveable   n is no wall   L is a low wall that you can jump over   s# is a switch   * is a switch you can see but cant get to   X is an exit   E is an entry does anyone have any clue how to get to the switches? I've done google searches but I haven't found one for full maze completion, just the first part. Here is one theory I have:               -------------------     |     L     L   * |     |B    L     L     |     |     L     L     |     nnnnnnn-----+------     |     n  S2 |     |     |S4   n     |     |     |     n     |     |     -------------------     |     |     |     |     |S1   |     |   S3|     |     |     |     |     nnnnnn-------------     |     n     ?     |     |     n     ?   * |     |     n     ?     |     -------------------      If you get the maze to look like this, then if you could get in from the exit or some other point towards the end of the maze, you would have access to the switch. Just a thought though. Ive looked all throughout the entire world and I am unable to find another entry point to this maze. Does anyone know how to solve it?


title: How do I become a zombie?

text: After a long hiatus, I've picked up RotMG again and noticed a few stark changes. Quite often it'll say `<Name>'s cursed amulet of resurrection has broken and they (become a zombie|disappear|something similar)` This prompts the most dismay and pity I think I've ever seen in an MMO. :P Particularly when the affected turns into a zombie, it seems. ("Poor `<Name>`. Zombied right at the end.") The Wiki seems to contain little to nothing on the topic. What's an amulet of resurrection and what does it do? Are some _un_ -cursed? How can I get one? What happens when it breaks and you turn into a zombie?

text: I have completed both the Mushroom Cup and the Flower Cup in 50cc, getting gold on both. The Mushroom Cup now shows one star beside my gold trophy, and the Flower Cup shows two. What do these stars mean?
