title: Why fight with clothes?

text: Diablo III has two achievements that involve fighting bosses in nothing but your skivvies: Naked Lust and The Hero's New Clothes. ![Cropped screenshot of the Naked Lust \(Defeat Cydaea without any items equipped on Hell difficulty or higher\) and The Hero's New Clothes \(Defeat all of the following enemies without any items equipped on Hell difficulty or higher\) achievements](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vIHzj.jpg) Obviously, clothes are kinda important. Which class is best at slaying monsters in the nude? If you're seeking to complete this achievement in multiplayer, does everyone have to strip down, or just you? And perhaps most importantly, do weapons count, or are we going to be punching Diablo to death?


title: Where does the Hallowed Set drop?

text: I am curious as to whether set blacksmith plans sometimes drop only from certain sources. I am under the impression (right now) that all blacksmith plans drop unniversaly and random. Unlike the legendary crafting materials where you have to fight specific super-bosses. Is this the case? Can I get all pieces of the "Hallowed" set (http://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-iii-misc-forums/theorycrafting-and- analysis/82607-plan-hallowed-defenders-need-advice) Randomly throughout the rift, without having to farm a specific situation?


title: Legendary plans location (in RoS)

text: I was wondering, as I'd really want to get my hands on the Plan for the "Cosmic Strand" legendray item, is there any particular location/bosses where one can found the plan for a particular legendary item? Or are all the plan dropped anywhere at random?

title: How do I access the Diablo 3 auction house?

text: I've heard that the auction house is available both via in-game menus (whether playing a game or not) and over Battle.net. However, I can't figure out how to access it through either approach, and there's some conflicting information (1),(2),(3). How can I access it?

title: How to adapt skill as an FPS player over to an RTS?

text: While I've been struggling to play Dota 2, I had an epiphany the other day: It's not the game itself, it's the way it controls! I started playing games at a young age with Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, and that's generally been the "type" of game I've tended to enjoy ever since. Anything with commonplace FPS movement and camera controls are very easy to grasp. RTS-style games are a completely foreign beast to me, though. Even when I understand the mechanics and know exactly what's going on, there's a weird hump to get over. It's as though my brain is hard-wired to use my keyboard and mouse in a specific way. If I played RTS games first, maybe I'd have this same problem with shooters. I'm forcing myself to learn by playing, but after several hundred hours I'm still running into annoying problems "getting it," mostly with the amount of mouse movement I make to move the camera. I know I would grasp the basic RTS gameplay far more easily if I allowed myself to use WASD for the camera, but I'm determined to play it "right" so I don't create bad habits. I started taking notes of everything else, too, like the position of my arms, the way I sit when I play, and so on. At least those are all consistent, but maybe I'm approaching this in the wrong way. Is there something I'm missing?


title: What rate should I set taxes at in a medium sized city?

text: I have a city hall with a Department of Finance letting me set the tax rates individually for Residential, Commercial, Industrial and for low, medium and high-wealth individuals. I'm currently at 75% approval so happy and growing - my intuition is that I could tax the poor at a higher rate than the default 9% and get away with it, but seems a bit regressive. What will make me the most money without killing growth?

Now I bought _MW3_ , but I'm worried I might be a little lost on the story. So I'd just like to know the basics of the **_MW2_** plot before diving into _MW3_ , no extensive answer necessary. Assuming I remember the ending of _MW1_ (and my memory doesn't fail me), what big events moved the plot in _MW2_? I just want to catch up on the story I missed, please don't say anything about the story of _MW3_. _In order words: spoil MW2 (but not 3) for me._


title: Is there a simple tool for migrating inventory to another world for all players on a vanilla server?

text: With all of the recent biome generation changes, I've found myself generating a lot of new worlds lately, and once 1.9 hits I'll do it again. When I restart the world on my server I would the inventories of all my players to be migrated over to the new world. This way people who have already been playing for quite some time on my server won't lose everything, and can bring their gold, diamonds, cookies, etc. to ease the transition. I'm wary of simply copying player data over because if it includes player position there's a high chance of players appearing in places they shouldn't. (Like in solid ground.) So I'm looking for an automated tool that I can run once before the players sign in to the new world that copies over all player inventory and nothing else. Note that I'm just running a vanilla server, and would like to continue doing so. If this tool doesn't exist, is there a manual way to do so? **Edit:** If I get a good enough response and someone knows how to migrate inventory manually, I just might code the tool myself and put it somewhere for everyone.

Obviously, whenever I fail at knifing someone it tends to end badly for me, so I would like to figure out what I'm doing wrong. What conditions does the game check to trigger the knifing animation as opposed to a knife attack?

title: Are Games for Windows Live games registered to a Gamertag, or a Windows Live ID?

text: My Xbox 360 Gamertag, cptsupermrkt, is registered with/attached to the Windows Live account, myhotmailaccount@hotmail.com. I bought Arkham City on the PC. To even play the game, I must register my copy of the game with a "LIVE profile." When I sign in with my _myhotmailaccount@hotmail.com_ , but **before** I submit the product key, it tells me that it will only be registered to the LIVE account "cptsupermrkt", and is non-transferable. Is this referring to my Xbox 360 Gamertag, or some kind of completely separate Games for Windows Live thing? Are the Xbox 360 Gamertag and Games For Windows Live Gamertag the same thing? If I submit, and register the game to "cptsupermrkt", then choose to transfer my Xbox 360 Gamertag to another Windows Live ID, will I still be able to play Arkham City, using the same Xbox 360 Gamertag cptsupermrkt, but attached to a different Windows Live ID? Does "non-transferable" mean that the license can't be detached from the Windows Live ID, or the Gamertag (which CAN be transferred once every 30 days to another Windows Live ID)?


title: Unable to run Maplestory

text: My computer specs are as follows:   * Processor: i5-3570k,   * Motherboard: P8Z77-v-pro,   * Memory: 16gb DDR3,   * Hard disk: Seagate Barracuda 2TB,   * Graphics card: GTX670,   * Windows 7 Professional I have tried logging into the maplestory website (global), however, after downloading the installer and installing pando media booster, the download does not start at all. So, I downloaded through the workaround files here. I followed the instructions (added to same folder, ran the appropriate file) and successfully installed the game. However, I encounter the following errors when I try to run the game: 1) Running through Chrome: _Error code 11004_ , Maplestory not run at all. 2) Running through internet explorer: Can select server, when I choose a channel, instantly crashes with no error messages. 3) Running through gamelauncher.exe: I see the in-client log in window, and enter my email/pw. However, clicking the login button does nothing, and after the while, the game crashes with the message 'you have been disconnected from the login server'.* **Extra information:** 1) I am running a dual-monitor set up. I have had some problems running other games in the past because of this reason. 2) I am using a university internet connection. Some websites do not load, others are slow (throttled). I am not well-versed in internet literature, but if I had to guess, the problem lies somewhere here. Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.


title: Mysterious green lines in space

text: I was travelling and this caught my eye (click to enlarge): ![Mysterious green lines in space](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sqbcZ.jpg) Notice the strange green line connecting two bright stars left of the overview. What is its purpose? My uneducated guess is that it has something to do with cynosural fields or jump bridges, but it could also just be eye candy or a bug, either way I am having difficulties finding out about it on Google. Does anyone know what it means? Sometimes I see whole networks of them, though evidently when I went to find a specimen to screenshot they all disappeared and I could only find this one in Rens. I'm sure it's not a groundbreaking discovery but I'm just curious to know :p


title: How does attack speed affect damage for various skills?

text: > Summon an Arcane Hydra that spits Arcane Orbs that explode on impact, > dealing 111% weapon damage as Arcane to enemies near the explosion. So it seems that fast hitting weapon don't make hydra hit higher. What other skills are affected by attack speed? For example, in general, I presume that higher attack speed don't increase damage per attack but increase dps. However, for skills like hydra, or earthquake, where the cooldown is the limiting factor anyway, it doesn't seem balanced to not taking into account attack speed. So how does blizzard sort his out?


title: Why is a computer monitor less suitable for use with video game consoles, compared to a TV?

Instead of going back through each skill guessing what the unlock might have been.


title: Streetpass is working for everyone but me

text: I recently got a 3DS, and immediately set it up, including my Mii, the Streetpass Plaza, and Streetpass. I found one Mii, but after that, nothing. For example, I went to my brother's house and his 3DS found my Mii, but I couldn't get his. I also ran into a friend at dinner. Her's found me, but yet again I couldn't get her. I know it's not their systems being wonky as I have seen others pick up their Miis with no issues. My system and plaza and such have all been updated and I double checked to make sure that no parental controls are getting in the way. I'm not sure what's wrong with my system. Has anyone come across this?.


title: Does the "Impact" weapon proficiency increase all damage?

text: According to the CoD wiki and the game itself, Impact only increases damage through surfaces (in a similar manner to Deep Impact and FMJ from previous games). However, I seem to be experiencing higher damage overall. It seems that a single burst from my M16 will now take down an enemy with ease as opposed to the 2 or 3 I had to use before using Impact. Is this a bug, a description error, or am I imagining this behavior?

title: What happens to items when I kill monsters off the main path?

text: In some dungeons, monsters will enter the main path by climbing up or down walls, jumping off cliffs, and so on, to enter the main path where the player is.

Do the items simply disappear (meaning I should avoid killing them until they fully arrive)?


title: How exactly do crowd-controlling abilities work?

text: There are the usual kinds of crowd-controlling abilities in Diablo III: Stunning, rooting, snaring, charm, hex, fear etc. It appears like some monsters are less affected by them than others. It seems, however, that even bosses can be, for example, frozen. How exactly do CCs work? Do they have diminishing returns, like in WoW? Are all bosses equally CCable? Is CC efficiency or chance of successful CCing in any way dependant on any attribute (e.g. chance to fear enemies)? The answer of this question will have some important implications for boss- fights in general, but especially for groups. If there are, for example, no diminishing returns on stuns, then four-player parties could easily specialize in stunning-equipment and skills to kill a boss without the boss hitting anyone even once. Some monsters also have crowd-controlling abilities. What stats prevent me from being CCed (stunned, feared, snared, etc.) by enemies?

I have Steam, unfortunately this game is not available on Steam. May be if it is a small and thin client, yes... still I have to think about maintaining two stores. And if it is another steam, no way.

text: I have completed the story in Lego Batman 2: DC Heroes and unlocked the 'Justice League Mode' which involves beating waves of enemies with the different justice league characters. I have noticed a sort of meter appear in the top-right, which wasn't there through the story (or free-play) missions, which looks like a grey circle with an 'x' in it, and seems to fill up blue while playing. See the image below where I've marked the example. !['X' Meter Example](http://i.stack.imgur.com/r6lRE.jpg) What is this meter showing? What actions fills up (or potentially drains) the meter? What happens when the meter gets to full capacity? I am playing the vita version of the game - however don't know if this meter appears in some form on the home console versions of the game. I don't believe it was explained at any point, however the vita version does seem like a markedly cut-down version of what was created for the home consoles (as cut scenes don't quite match up to what I've just done sometimes, and they are low quality and compressed terribly).

title: How to solve problems with launching? (Win 7, 64 Bit)

text: I recently dug up Anno 1503 again - German version, Königsedition. Well, it doesn't work (Win 7). I spent last evening looking for solutions to the problem, i.e. installing as Admin, installing in a different location, compatibility mode - no luck. On launching the executable there's some seconds of loading (as indicated by the mouse-arrow) and then nothing. Now, there does seem to be an inofficial patch 1.01 for that version which will likely solve the problem - however I don't know whether it is appropriate to ask for something like that here. So, my question is whether someone does have another idea by which I could make the game work after all, maybe without said patch - well, more or less I'm asking for advice due to myself being having grown sort of desperate. Thanks for everyone's time.

title: Is there a good way to determine squad mate cooldown time?

text: I was using James on a mission and noticed that it was taking his powers ages to cooldown. Are the cooldown negatives and benefits for weight carried the same for squad mates as they are for Shepard? Since he (James) totes around a shotgun and an assault rifle, it made some sense that he could be a bit slower, but is there a good way of managing this? The annoying part is that you can't access squad character sheets when you're not on a mission, and you can't manage weapon load out when you are on a mission -unless you find a table. _**Is there a better way to see skill cooldowns and weapon load out at the same time?_**

title: How many weapons can I equip in A Dark Room?

text: I'm trying to figure out the rules governing how well I can arm myself when venturing out. I've been experimenting using trial and error, and I think I know the following:   * You're not limited by hands. I've been able to have at least three weapons equipped at once (two different swords, plus a presumably-two-handed rifle.)   * You don't seem to be able to equip two of the same item. I brought two steel swords with me, but didn't have a second attack option, like I did when I had one steel and one iron one. (It's possible having two made the reloading twice as fast, but that didn't seem to be the case. Can anyone confirm whether the rule is in fact this: **In any fight, you can use an unlimited number of unique weapons, but may not use more than one of any given one?**


title: Playing Ultimate DOOM and DOOM II Coop on Modern Hardware

text: A friend and I want to work through DOOM I and II on co-op over a coming weekend. What's the best way to do this on modern hardware? We don't want graphical improvements and fancy features (except maybe mouse look), we want a classic DOOM experience. This will be over a local network with a Windows XP and a Windows 7 PC. Has anyone had experience doing this?


title: How to prevent freeze in Need For Speed Underground?

text: Right before the race starts, the game freezes on the loading screen. I was unable ever to race. My video drivers are the latest as far as I can tell. I read that using older drivers might help get it running, but since that wasn't guaranteed, I didn't do that. I also tried changing resolution and picture quality to no avail. I'd rather not try anything else that won't definitively fix this as when it freezes it's difficult to shutdown even, prompting me to do a hard reset.


title: If you poison a ration of water, will you be able to put it into the well?

text: I'm talking about die2nite, of course, and I ask out of curiousity since I've seen that someone in my town has the corrosive liquid and the cyanide. I know that when you turn corrosive liquid into vial of poison, it can poison food and/or water, but I'm not sure if the cyanide can. My main concern is him (or her) trying to poison the main water source. I want to know if it's possible so I can tell everyone to stop it before it happens. This player has been very troublesome and I wouldn't be surprised by this, seeing as how he/she has these items now...


title: Change existing world to superflat (server)

text: I have a default generated world and I created a few things in it. I want it to become superflat and I don't want to loose any progress I made in the world. Is that possible ? I've seen the opposite here but I can't find the `generatorType` variable in my `level.dat` .


title: Progression through WoW that avoids spiders

text: **Background:** My girlfriend is terrified of spiders. So much so that she cringes and closes her eyes whenever there are spiders on _my_ screen, even if I'm not fighting them. I'm now introducing her to World of Warcraft. I'm looking for a progression from level 1 through to level 85 **that avoids spiders**. We have both created Blood Elves and have reached level 12 without encountering any. I plan on moving to Azshara next, avoiding Ghostlands which is full of them. I'm happy to jump around from continent to continent if needs be. * * * For the purposes of this question, you can assume that the Nerubians are not "spiders" but if you can come up with a path that avoids them as well, that would earn you extra credit. I have still yet to convince her that they are different and since they have eight legs and spin webs it might be tricky. We will probably not be doing many, if any dungeons but a list of ones to avoid would be nice. I'm familiar with the Horde progression through new Azeroth question but it doesn't suit my particular needs.


title: How do I switch mates?

text: I ran too close to a potential mate and now she's following me, but I wanted to mate with a different pom. Surely there's some way to swap to a better mate when available, no?


title: When should I start to do the side quests in Flotsam?

text: I am finding the side-quests in Flotsam tough, because of the monsters in the surrounding area. I also discover that by doing some of the main quests, I get decent XP and some good loot. When is a good time (level, point in the main plot and etc.) to start doing the side quests in Flotsam?


title: In what order do I have to extinguish the puzzle signs in the Gargoyle Contract quest?

text: There are three rooms, guarded by Gargoyles, each one with a chest and four magical signs/runes you have to extinguish in the correct order. There is also a different clue in each room. The clue in the room I'm stuck is the following > Divertimento!   >  Coulds are like bees   >  When bells ring In what order do I have to extinguish the signs? I've identified the signs in the room using the books from a merchant as animal, time, art and sky. What are the solutions to the other possible variations of this puzzle?


title: Left For Dead 2 - Unlock Australian Censorship

text: I have purchased a copy from Steam and it has all of the visual gore taken out. I'd rather play the game as it was intended and not be at the whims of some politician who thinks all Australians should be treated like children when it comes to gaming. How can I edit, crack, or hack this game into removing the censorship? * * * **EDIT:** So far the solution by Nick T has the most success, but internet play does not work due to steam connection issues. Is there is some way around this (dedicated server?).


title: With an AMD card, can I force V-Sync only for Rage?

text: So, Rage recently got unlocked for EU territories, and the first thing I noticed once I started playing is an awful lot of screen tearing. I heard that forcing V-Sync (since sadly there's no option within Rage to turn it on) solves the issue, and it certainly did the trick for me. However, I couldn't find a way to have forced V-Syncing turned on just for Rage. I am currently using an AMD card, but I seem to recall that when I was using an Nvidia card there were options for performing tweaks on a per- application basis by creating some sorts of application profiles. Sadly, I couldn't find anything similar in the Catalyst Control Center. So, is there such an option buried somewhere inside the Catalyst Control Center? Is there some sort of **trustworthy** third party tool that could help me with this? Maybe there is some secret configuration file for Rage where I can turn on V-Sync instead?


title: How much time has passed since the events in Max Payne 2?

text: In Max Payne 3 we're not given a timeframe that sets the action in a specified year. Is it stated anywhere how much time has passed since the events in Max Payne 2? Max looks like he has aged, but it can be because of his bad habits... Has it been months? Years?

title: The graphics in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010 are too dark. How do I fix this?

text: My PC configuration is:   * CORE 2 Quad 1.8GHz   * 2GB RAM   * Intel G41RQ Motherboard (G41 Chipset)   * Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 integrated graphics subsystem * * * I have installed Hot Pursuit 2010. The game is running but the screen is so dark. It seems like I'm racing at night. Is this a problem with my built in graphics card?

title: Will Telltale's The Walking Dead require online access to play or just to download or both?

text: I may not have online access on the future, but I have it for the moment and I was thinking about dowwnloading the game from the PSN store. I played the demo, and everytime I went to start it it kept trying to sign me in. I didn't have to play the demo signed in, but I will have to play the full game signed in? Does the online access help save my progress in one episode to track my progress in the next?


title: What do the voice commands in Dead Rising 3 do?

text: I've seen in the top right corner of my screen the symbol of the microphone and a few words. Example: When I was in a boss fight, the text said, "You're Crazy!" I would yell those words (as my kinect is connected to my Xbox One) and it seemed like nothing would happen in the game. The microphone symbol though would change from white to blue. What do these voice commands do? Are there other voice commands I can yell in game? (Besides "save game", "normal play" [at menu])


title: Are my Club Nintendo coins going to expire?

text: I've read somewhere that all coins are going to expire after June 30 (2 club nintendo years) but when I login, I read this:               Coin Expiration: Please note that unredeemed Coins expire after 2 Club Nintendo years (July 1 - June 30).          You have 0 expiring Coins on June 30, 2012       So are my coins going to expire after the 30th or not? This is the only mention I've seen that says they will not expire, is it a glitch? If they don't expire on the 30th, when will they?


title: What is considered an enemy unit?

text: I was reading about Trundle's rework, and I noticed his passive is "Whenever an enemy unit near Trundle dies, he heals for 2% of their maximum Health." But what exactly is 'enemy unit' in this case? I think it includes enemy champions as well as enemy minions, but does it include jungle mobs as well? If it does, does that mean dragon and Baron are included? Seems a bit overpowered if all of those count as well...   I tried searching for the definition, but I can't find a clear explanation of what 'enemy unit' means.

title: What do Frozen Synapse's "Focus on Zone" commands do, and how do I use them?

text: _I've only played some multiplayer with a friend so far._ When I right click on the ground and on enemies, and I see there is a "Focus on Zone" command (along with a corresponding "Ignore Zone" command). However, these always appear to be grayed out. What do these commands do, and how do I activate them?


title: Dota 2 crashes suddenly

text: I'm having issues with Dota 2. Sometimes, for no readily apparent reason, the game will crash to the desktop. It can happen when I join the game , checking the store or just on a loading screen. There is no error message- the game just exits to desktop with no warning or details. When I tried another internet connection it worked fine and playing offline also worked so it seems to be a problem with me internet. I'm reinstalling the game to see if that solves anything, but it is taking a long time. Any suggestions?


title: Getting old updates for minecraft xbox edition

text: Is there a way to get old updates on minecraft Xbox edition? I want to be able to play the minecraft xbox version of beta 1.6.6 for a non-laggy nostalgia rush.


Does the Zan's Minimap mod work with Minecraft 1.6.6? When I try to use it it always appears to throw an error when I try to load my game (but the message disappears too fast for me to read it), and my game never loads. I already have modloader installed and I made sure to delete the META-INF file.

title: loading a newer version save on an older version of minecraft

text: On Minecraft I accidently clicked a newer version save (Snapshot 13w36b) on an older version (1.6.2). My question is, did this ruin anything on my new save? It seems fine to me, but I'm not sure if it ruined anything I'm unaware of yet. It loaded the map because when I went back on it showed just now was the last time I went on it.


title: Why can't my friend join my game?

text: My friend and I have been having trouble with multiplayer in Borderlands 2. Whenever I join his game his says that the xbox is unable to read the disc, sends me to the main menu and him to the dashboard. He has the downloadable version off of Xbox LIVE and I have the disc version. I also have most DLCs (except for most of the skin packs). I was trying to join as Krieg the Psycho which we've done flawlessly before. Also, when we tried having him join my game it said on his screen that I was in a DLC he didn't have when I was in Sanctuary. This all started before the recent compatibility pack update' I think after the recent game update.


title: Can I go back to Dreamy areas once I have rescued the Pi'ilo inside them?

text: I realized after rescuing a Pi'illo from a Dreamy area that I missed one of the Attack Pieces, and kinda want to go back to get it because, well, having more moves is always good. I only realized this much later, though, so I don't want to go all the way back to the area I was in if I can't get the piece I want - so is it possible for me to get back to particular Dreamy areas? Or are they closed off once the Pi'illo is rescued?


title: How do I optimize the amount of XP I can get in a playthrough?

text: I would like to get the optimum amount of experience points in my playthrough. What I initially noticed is that there seems to be an XP bonus or multiplier if I kill an enemy by headshot. Please share tips or strategies on getting the optimal amount of XP in a playthrough (skill choices, order of getting skill choices, best ways to kill enemies, etc). Will choosing one of the skill trees first favor optimal XP collection?


title: How can I get past corruption?

text: I have a golden pickaxe and mostly complete golden armor. I also have an enchanted boomerang. I'd like to go find the dungeon, but while I can make short work of most individual monsters, I can't get past the swarms of monsters that descend on me whenever I reach the corruption that exists on either side of my spawn. I've tried running past them, but there are some hills and I'm not able to build sufficiently to get up over them. Do I need to tunnel under the corruption (I can't tunnel through)? Do I need a to build a skybridge over it? Or is there some trick to dealing with the large swarms of creatures that quickly develop in trying to pass through corruption?


title: In which language was X3tC originally designed?

text: I'm asking because basically I want to know which language I should pick with German being my mother language while I prefer original language versions, but that's probably too subjective... Since egosoft is a German developer, I wonder if X3TC was developed for German or English play originally?


title: Practically, can the meta be changed for the better?

text: Currently, the meta seems to be fairly set in stone. Sometimes I see pro teams in matches doing some interesting things, like having a support Sona that roams instead of staying bottom. Is the current meta definitely the best way to win games? If you are looking to optimally scale each member of your team, then it seems like it is, but there may be more to it. Besides very special cases, should the meta of sending 2 bot, 1 mid, and 1 top be messed with?


title: Repopulating Multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption

text: When entering Multiplayer (Xbox360), there are times when there are 15 other players online in my session. Some formed up in Posses, some not. If I just go off and try to complete a Gang Hideout (or several) on my own, it seems that the number of people in my online session continues to dwindle until ultimately I am the only one left in the 'lobby'. Is there a way to ensure that the 'lobby' repopulates with other players without jumping out and then back in?

title: How much better are the higher levels of the ammo bonuses?

text: There seem to be different levels of the different ammo powers you can apply as a bonus for one multiplayer round: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NseMl.png) I just got the Incendiary Rounds II in a Veteran Pack I bought, and I'm wondering how much better the level 2 ammo powers are than their level 1 counterparts. As far as I can tell the type of pack you buy determines which level you get, depending on how much better the higher level powers are I might want to buy more Veteran or even Spectre packs.


title: Do body armors have any effect on the head? Is it better to use hollow point ammunition when targetting a body-armored enemy's unarmored head?

text: I'm just wondering if Fallout New Vegas is like Skyrim, where wearing an armor on one body part will protect other body parts (regardless if armor is worn on that body part). In FNV, do body armors have any effect on the head? Will it be better to use hollow point ammunition (does more damage to unarmored opponents) on an enemy _with_ body armor, but _no_ helmet or head armor or other head apparel when targetting the head?


title: Can follower take items all on his/her own?

text: I gave my follower (Lydia) basic items to improve her chances to survive: armor, weapon, shield, bow and necklace. I also gave her some items to keep if I ever need them for immediate use e.g. fire resistance boots. However, when I check her inventory sometimes new items appear apparently out of nowhere: usually all kinds of arrows but sometimes swords and last night enchanted stuff to turn undead.   1. I'm 100% sure I never gave her those items.   2. I'm 100% sure I never gave her command to pick those items up from the floor or from a container.   3. The arrows might be explained if she picks up arrows shot at her - she take lots of those very bravely without ever complaining but so far wasn't able to see her taking arrow out her body and put in her quill.   4. I do explore lots of places that most likely have the items appearing in her inventory. Can I control this thing or define what she should take and what not to take? Is this behavior documented somewhere? If so, I couldn't find it so far.


title: Can random events kill your last remaining crew member?

text: If you only have one crew member left, can he be killed by events that kill one random crew member? Or does FTL make sure events always leave you with at least one person to play captain (allowing you to "predict the outcome" of those scenarios)? By that I mean scenarios like _Giant Alien Spiders_ in which a random crew member gets killed instantly; not events such as an enemy boarding the ship and killing your crew member through standard combat.


title: How does battle.net select a custom game to join?

text: If you select "Join Custom Game" and search for a map - for example Xel'Naga Caverns - you can join the game and play against a seemingly random player who had created the open-to-public custom game. But how does battle.net select the game? Is MMR considered? Is it purely random? First come, first serve? Similarly, is it possible to _spectate_ open-to-public games on the standard maps? I'm thinking this could be an interesting alternative to watching live streams. **Edit:** As answered by @Resorath, it seems to be first-come-first-serve. Do people find this feature useful / fun then? I would think it's pointless to play against opponents that have no relation to your skill level. I guess it could be interesting for practicing a risky build order without damaging your ladder ranking, if you don't have a practice partner.


title: What's the penalty for dying?

text: I get the following message when I die: ![screenshot - text below](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QgrmW.png)   " _You died! You were killed!

title: How does a Forged Alliance player learn to play FA Forever?

text: FA Forever isn't just the lobby, it also comprises a set of community patches that change the game balance substantially. As a veteran FA player, I'd like to quickly see how FA Forever is different in gameplay terms: how units are stronger or weaker than before, and what the additions like the HQ factories do. The online unit database is a good starting point, but only shows each unit on a separate page, and doesn't compare units to the base game. OTOH, the patch notes are confusing to read, because they describe one change at a time instead of the overall change (some changes are modified further in later patches, etc.). Is there a single summary where I can see the changes for each unit, ideally with discussion, so that I can start playing FA Forever effectively?

title: How does Animation Canceling work? Is it a valid technique?

text: I'm not a veteran DOTA2 player but I want to improve my gaming techniques. I've recently heard about Animation Canceling, used mostly by pro-gamers, in order to have better chances to last hit. How does it really work? Is there a proper time, or even a proper period of the game, when using it is recommended? Is it really useful to get the last hit?


title: Is "tactical awareness" an alias of "interceptions"?

text: I only find "interceptions" attribute on my FIFA 14(Just like this:http://www.futhead.com/14/players/5562/luiz-gustavo/), but I notice many guys mentioned something called "tactical awareness" attribute(example: http://fifanow.com/site/ultimate-team/all-fifa-14-in-game-player-statistics- explained/). I think it's an alias of "interceptions" in fact, but I'm not sure. So, is it an alias?


title: Does it count towards an extraction if you miss extraction?

text: In Mass Effect 3 there are challenges that want you to extract 10 times with a certain character or 15 times on a specific map. If you die (so really die, not just downed and revived) or miss the extraction (by not standing in the blue circle when countdown ends), does it still count towards these challenges?


title: How do bats move?

text: Is there a pattern for which direction a bat enemy will move, and if so what is it? Or is it just a random walk? I've gathered that bats only move during every other beat, but there doesn't seem to be any pattern on which direction they will move to. Especially with the boss versions, this makes them hard to kill with a dagger without taking any damage, where you have to spend the turn they don't move to get adjacent to them.

title: Do Sirens get any bonus out of Explosive weapons?

text: Sirens get bonus Elemental Effect chance but Explosive weapons appear to ignore "chance" and always deal explosive damage. None of the Siren's skills appear to (directly) effect explosives. Is there any benefit for Sirens when using Explosive weapons? In Borderlands 1 Sirens' "elemental effect chance" actually improved your "proc pool" which meant you could deal more damaging procs more often, which included Explosive effects. Is that still the case?

text: I keep getting different answers, and none of them seem specific to Animal Crossing New Leaf, so I'm not sure if my villagers who move out will remember me or not. What determines it? I know that they'll remember you if they move to a friend's town, but what if they just move out? I'm getting really frustrated trying to find the answer since I've searched everywhere on the net and none answer my question.


title: In DOTA 2 how do you create a "level up ability" hotkey

title: My character has trouble running, he can only walk

text: For some reason every time I try to run by using the `Shift` key (and `W`) for example, my character just stops moving. I can't get him to run while walking by pressing the `Shift` key after the `W` key is pressed. If I press the `Shift` key first and then the `W` key, the character just jerks as if attempting to start the run, but then comes to a full stop. Repeating this just results in sort of jerks forward. This seems to be some sort of bug. I can get around this for now, by jumping forward first, then mid-jump pressing the `Shift` key so that when he lands I already have `Shift`+`W` pressed. Then he starts running after completing the jump. I am wondering if some config video quality setting could be causing this problem. Does anyone know of a solution to this to allow my character to run normally as he should.


title: XBOX 360 Arcade multiple USB flash drives

text: Recently I grabbed rather old XBOX 360 Arcade for my son who wanted to play Minecraft that is not yet available on PS3. This console doesn't have much internal storage and after resetting and applying latest updates, only about 24 MB is left. I read that I can either add external HDD or USB flash drive to it. I have couple of spare USB drives and one of them actually worked. It is small (4GB) and I am planning to add more. This is my secondary console so I don't want to spend too much money on it. Few questions...   * I see 3 USB ports so can I put three USB flash drives of 32GB each if I wanted to?   * I am thinking about not getting HDD storage at all as it is more expensive and very specific to XBOX. USB flash drives are multi-purpose and I could use those elsewhere after the console dies or I don't want to use it anymore. Any downside to this?   * I would like to buy games from live account instead of on physical disks. The table in the link seems to indicate that it is supported but I wanted to confirm as some older articles say otherwise. It seems like this support was added much later after the console was released.   * Can the installed game be moved from one flash drive to another?


title: Starcraft 2 Building Previews

text: After watching Idra's stream, I noticed something. When he builds a building, after picking the spot where to build, there is a preview placed on the ground and for him it is a bright pink. ![Idras Buildings](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dsPMJ.png) However, when I build something, my preview is a faded out version of the building and not at all clear to see. ![My Buildings](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hRFcN.jpg) I'm looking for how to change my settings to be the same as his. My current graphics settings are low graphics with Ultra textures and I've tried with low-low and ultra-ultra but I can't seem to get the pink previews. Any help? BTW .. It may not seem like a big deal and it rarely is, but I have my hotkeys set so that the spore and spine crawler buttons are next to each other so sometimes I build a wall of spores instead of spines which isn't great vs ground based compositions as you can imagine.

title: How do you clear the saved-games, high-scores, etc. from (some GameBoy) cartridges?

text: I bought a used copy of some games and cannot figure out how to clear some of the saved-game data from them. With _Mario & Luigi - Superstar Saga (GBA)_, I can clear the main game “files”, but cannot find an option to delete the high-score of the _Mario Bros._ sub-game. In _Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (GBC)_ , deleting the save-games from the “Original” mode is easy, but there does not seem to be an option to delete the current-level, high-score, completed and gotten-items, etc. from the other modes (“Challenge”, “Boo”, “Records”, “Toy Box”, “Album”, etc.)

text: I have a game going with the Barbarian class, and I seem to be getting killed more often with him than any other class. Is there a secret/tip to using him that I am missing? My stat for armor (going off the top of my head since I don't have access to my game right now) is probably closer to 300, but I'm getting my butt kicked bad in Act 1, on normal difficulty! I know this is probably a stupid question, something easy that I am missing...


title: What is the maximum amount of Poke dollars you can hold?

text: Is it possible to get more than 999,999 Poke dollars or is the max still 999,999?


title: Background download stuck at 99%?

text: I've been playing SW:TOR for about a week now, and the game has been completing the download in the background. It stopped at 99.18% downloaded three days ago. Now, I'm level ten and finished on my planet, but I can't get off the planet because the game "is not fully downloaded". How do I get my computer to finish that last percent of download?


title: Can I devolve my Mega Pokemon during a battle?

text: I already have 4 Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution: a Lucario, a Blastoise, a Blaziken and an Ampharos. However, when I activate Mega Evolution for one of them, then switch out my Pokémon, the button for Mega Evolution is greyed out (inactive). I understand that for balancing purposes, you shouldn't be able to fight with multiple Mega Evolved Pokémon simultaneously, but is there a way to reset Mega Evolution in order to Mega Evolve another Pokémon while still in combat?


title: Fastest method of leveling 50-60?

text: As the title says, what gives the most experience in Rift for Storm Legion leveling? I'm currently at level 56 and would like to reach level 60 prior to the Autumn Harvest event that starts later this week. So far my main method of leveling has been running instant adventures, however I'm not sure if specific dungeons, rift hunts, pvp, etc will give more experience at a faster rate. Does anyone know what the fastest possible method to level in game is? I know that there are people who can go 1-60 in a single weekend so I know that it's possible to go 56-60 in a matter of days.


title: Difference between top and bottom lane in League of Legends?

text: What is the difference between top and bottom lanes in LoL? More experienced players tell you during the game to switch the lane if you go to the "wrong" one. So I guess that certain champions are not good for playing top/bottom. Why and what kind of champions should be played bottom, and what type should be played top (I mean generaly, not exact champions)?


title: Mobile graphics cards - will they cope with the most demanding games

text: I'm in the process of thinking about upgrading my laptop. I haven't been gaming for a while, but with a nice shiny new laptop, I would probably look to get into a few games again :) I'm a bit out of the loop, but would a mobile graphics card (something like a Nvidia GT 635M) cope with the demands of a modern game?


title: Does Heirlooms yield the XP bonus when the level range is exceeded?

text: I am currently levelling a Death Knight with heirlooms, and some of the heirlooms that I have, are with the level 1-80 range (not upgraded to 1-85) While playing the game, I went past level 80 and into 81. **But does the heirlooms with the range of 1-80 still yield the 10% experience bonus?** I know I could easily run a Heroic Pandaria dungeon to get the points needed to upgrade the Heirloom from 1-80 to 1-85, but since I did level with lower level Heirloom gear - I'm just wondering.


title: Wii U multilingual support

text: I am currently living in Italy and I am looking into buying a wii u. Only thing that bothers me is will I have option to set it to english if it is bought in Italy? As far as I know it should be EU region which should have multilingual support. Can anyone confirm?


title: Can you use Split Screen multiplayer in Modern Warfare 3 for LAN Party

text: I plan on throwing a LAN party this week and we'll have a couple Xbox 360s there. I know that you and a guest can play on Xbox Live on the same machine, but I was wondering if we can have 4v4 over LAN with two Xbox 360s on the same network. IIRC, this could not be done in World at War, and I didn't try with Black Ops.

title: What are those yellow orbs that enemies drop?

text: Occasionally, I've seen enemies drop yellow orbs, and I can't figure out what they do. They're especially plentiful during the final boss fight, but that's not the only place. Green's health, blue's focus, purple's power, but what could yellow be? (btw, I don't mean the quest guide. ;) )


title: How to counter a heartbeat sensor?

text: I keep getting screwed over by people using the Heartbeat Sensor attachment. I was wondering - is there is a way that I can avoid showing up on it or otherwise disable it?


title: Is there any way to stop the game from putting me in auto-run?

text: I prefer to hold the shift key to run, and so every time I start the game, I hit Caps Lock to disable auto-run. However, I find it always finds opportunities to re-enable itself. Sometimes I will go through a door that has a loading screen, and I'm auto-running when I come out the other site. Other times I will speak to an NPC and will be running after the conversation has ended. I tried finding an option in the menu but couldn't. Is there some kind of configuration that would allow me to disable auto-run altogether so that the game doesn't do it for me?


title: Stuck in extraction mission after killing all aliens and bringing VIP to SkyRanger

text: I seem to be stuck in an extraction mission (rescuing some general) after (seemingly) killing all aliens and bringing the VIP to the SkyRanger (to the marked area). I think I killed all the aliens, but there may be some others hidding somewhere. I've swept the area twice but could not find the missing aliens. That happened quite a bit on the original 1994 game, but I thought I read somewhere that the developers got rid of this situation in the latest version somehow. I'm in mid-game playing in normal difficulty (no ironman mode) and the PS3 version. The mission is in Brasilia, Brazil. What am I doing wrong?


title: How does Pound of Flesh bonus work with Health Globe drop rates and bonuses?

text: There is a very good answer to a question about generic drop rates, but how do those changes if you are using Pound of Flesh?   * How does P.o.F. effect drop rates if you are playing in a group setting?   * Would Elite (Blue) monsters go from 60% drop at 50/0% life up to a 70% or 85% chance to drop a globe?   * (My instinct is that it would be 70% because most things in Diablo 3 seem to be multiplicative)   * Does the +25% to health globe drops then not affect Rare (Yellow) monsters at all?   * In a group setting, does everyone in the party benefit from that (if so, what happens with multiple barbs using pound of flesh)?    * Or is it only if you, as the barb, are the one who drops the target below their normal drop check mark?   * Also, has anyone tested if the 100% bonus to life healed from health globe is applied before or after item bonus to heal? (Here my guess is that it only multiplies the base amount from 20%/35% to 40%/70% and then adds item bonuses)


title: What does the "set friend note" feature do?

text: In SCII you can right click on a friends name and "set friend note". What is this? What does it do? It allows you to type in text but nothing happens after you save it. So is this for your reference?

title: Can I buy some airports miles away from where Im based and get passengers wanted to go to them airports only

text: In my game, I am based in Europe at the moment. Can I buy two airports in the US and have passengers just wanting to go to those airports? I know that I would have to buy cheap planes and locate them there.


title: Does middle lane experience range reach the wraith camp?

text: Does the allied jungler at wraith camp receive shared experience when the enemy minions push and die to the turret in middle lane?


title: How did my objects disappear?

text: Playing single player (vanilla 1.6.4), I left the game running while I went out for approximately 2 hours. Before leaving I put all of my valuables into 2 chests just in case I died. There was a crafting table in between the two chests. I left the game unpaused in an attempt to farm cacti while I was gone. I left myself parked in the same room as the two chests. When I came back, both chests, the crafting table, and the ladder that was used to exit the room I was in were all gone. A few of the stone blocks in the same room also seem to have moved. There is a one block hole in the floor that wasn't there, and there is an extra block in a spot on the wall that wasn't there. I know that I didn't die because I still have everything that was in my inventory. I know that the game time was advancing because I have more cacti and all of my plants grew. There is no damage to the room I was in that would indicate an explosion and as far as I know it would not have been possible for any mobs to get in. Every other section of my house is in the exact same state as it was when I left, including my enchanting room which was in the next room over (no door in between) How could my chests, a crafting table, and a ladder simply vanish over the course of 2 hours while I left the game running? I tried using task manager to kill the game and re-launch it but that made no difference.


title: How are concessions calculated?

text: When somebody attacks me and he surrenders, he pays me concessions (at least with some casus bellis, such as “de jure war”). For example, currently, I am king of Bohemia, and I am defending against the king of Hungary in “Hungarian-Bohemian De Jure War over Presspurg”. When I hover over “Enforce demands” under “Offer Peace”, it says: >   * King Szilveszter I: Lose 200.0 Prestige >   * **King Szilveszter I pays 53.6 to King Konrád II** >   * King Konrád II: Gain 100.0 Prestige from war contribution > How is the amount of money he pays me calculated? What does it depend on?


title: What is the significance of "The letters are worn beyond recognition"?

text: In Majula, there is an obelisk with an inscription which can be examined to display the total amount of deaths worldwide. Around the back of the obelisk, there is another inscription. If you examine it, you get the following message. > The letters are worn beyond recognition. Has anyone figured out what this is about? Is there any way to read the inscription?


title: How do you spawn mobs aggressive towards iron golems?

text: I am attempting to create an arena for my sick tastes of entertainment in which an Iron Golem must survive endless waves of mobs. This would be a simple matter, except that the mobs only become aggressive towards the Golem once they've been hit. It's not that exciting to see a golem walking around casually attacking mobs who don't have time to see what hit them. Is there any way to spawn mobs, preferably using the /summon command, that are automatically agressive towards any nearby iron golems?


title: How do I play Halo 4 against bots?

title: How many vendors should I assign to my markets?

text: I started playing Banished again during this latest beta release. I was curious about vendors in the market. I didn't used to use the markets before, but I find it is a great storage facility and vendors stockpiling it with goods is great. However, I was curious about the optimal amount of vendors needed in the market. It starts out with 12 by default, but I quickly lower this to 1/1, because that is all that seems to be needed as my one vendor is keeping that market fully stocked with no issues. Is there some kind of population to vendor ratio that should be maintained for the best results? Or is it a more raise the vendors if they seem to be slacking in resources?


title: How do I input custom names into my game?

title: How Do I Fix This Run.bat thing For Minecraft Bukkit Servers

text: I followed Bukkit.org's steps:   1. Create a folder with your choice of names   2. Download the latest recommended build CraftBukkit.Jar   3. Place the Craftbukkit1.5.2 jar from step 2 in your folder   4. Rename CraftBukkit1.5.2-R1.0.Jar To CraftBukkit.jar   5. Open Notepad and copy and paste `java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true PAUSE`   6. Save the Notepad text you just wrote and click save-as (Name).Bat (I did run.bat too. It still didn't work .)   7.

title: Why does the Monk's Inner Sanctuary sometimes cause Fear?

text: The Monk's skill, Inner Sanctuary, reads > Create a runic circle of protection on the ground for 5 seconds that cannot > be passed by enemies. Strangely enough, this seems to have a very high chance of fearing enemies. I'm positive I don't have any chance to fear on my gear, and I only seem to fear enemies when I use this skill. Does Inner Sanctuary have some kind of undocumented chance to fear? Or am I missing something here? I'm using the Circle of Protection rune


title: Can you cheese your way into Development Hell?

text: Can I restart the "A Shattered Crown" quest at Act I multiple times and check wether four crypts spawn instead of three, to get into Development Hell? Or is there some mechanic preventing you from cheesing your way into it? I really want to check the place out and grab the achievement. :)


title: Which bosses have an enrage timer and what are their effects?

text: We already know that the Butcher sets the whole room on fire if you fail to kill him in 3 minutes. Are just the end-of-act bosses that possess an enrage timer? What are their effects? Is the timing the same for every one of them? Does the timer depend on the group size?

title: The Shadow City cools its bones near this water. Where is the next clue?

text: I have been searching throughout the Shadow City of the Sunspear in Westeroscraft for weeks now and still have yet to find the next clue. I have read the books and watched the show and do not believe there is any reference to this in either. I have taken into account that the Water Gardens may also be a possibility but did not find anything there either. While scouring the internet for answers, I also came across the possibility that somewhere in King's Landing may also be called the Shadow City, but have yet to find anything to back that up. If you have perhaps completed the scavenger hunt, it would be really helpful if you could tell me where (more specifically) to search or at least if I'm on the right track.

title: What's the randomness function of the Puzzle Swap piece-buyer?

text: I am curious to how Puzzle Swap decides which piece you get when you buy one. Does it:   * Pick a piece out of all the pieces?   * Pick a panel and then pick a piece for it?   * Pick whether the piece will be old or new and give a piece of that type?   * Something that makes even less sense?


title: Zero and Megaman Zero? What is the difference?

title: What does dual wielding do, without the Dual Wielding talent?

text: In Torchlight you can wield any two one-handed weapons. There is a Dual Wielding talent that adds damage when wielding two weapons, but what happens when dual wielding without the talent? Does it simply alternate back and forth? If the weapons are exactly the same, is there any DPS benefit? How does it work with one melee and one ranged weapon?


title: Strange mouse cursor change during games

text: During some games, my mouse cursor changes to some strange dotted line (like in the picture). It looks like that, but I had to draw it myself as the cursor is not visible in screenshots. This is really bothersome as I do not see the exact point where I am clicking. Furthermore my mouse stays this way even if I Alt-Tab or close StarCraft entirely. How can I prevent this and is there a fix except restarting my computer? ![Cropped screenshot showing a likeness of the bugged cursor](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ahyvv.png)

text: Playing on my (hosted) multiplayer server, I had no issue with minecraft 1.5.1, but after upgrading to 1.6, I'm lagging horribly even when alone in the server. I did increase the memory supplied to the game in the new launcher, but it didn't help much. Have the system requirements increased? And, if so, is it the server or the client that needs more resources?


title: How does Master Yi's ultimate interact with Viktor's Gravity Field?

text: Master Yi cannot be slowed while his Ultimate is active. Viktor's Gravity Field spell causes all units in its AOE to receive a stacking slow debuff and will stun any hero that receives 3 stacks of this debuff. If Master Yi is within the Gravity Field long enough that he _would have been stunned_ if his ultimate wasn't preventing him from being slowed, will he still be stunned?


title: Can Shadowrun Returns be completed without ever using a decker?

text: Are there enough other paths through the game to complete the base campaign of Shadowrun Returns without ever using Decking?


title: What can the Petrified Something be used for?

text: Since I'm a sucker for mystery gifts in Dark Souls, I chose the "Petrified Something" as my starting gift. Knowing what I knew about the Old Witch's Ring in Dark Souls, I figured that the item's usefulness (if it had any at all) wouldn't become apparent until much later in the game. Imagine my surprise, then, when I came across the birds' nest _in the tutorial area_ that enticingly asked me for a "smooth" object. Figuring that my petrified lump fit the bill quite well, I dropped it in the nest, and got a White Ring in exchange. That's a neat ring, of course, but since I traded away my starting gift only minutes into the game, it makes me curious if I've now missed out on anything else I could've used it for instead. Does the Petrified Something have any other uses than to trade at the birds' nest?

title: Why do some champion / elite packs give a double stack of Nephalem Valor?

text: Since I have reached level 60, I started farming act 1 Inferno to get some gear. My usual farm routine is to get five stacks of Nephalem Valor as quick as possible, and then kill elite / champion packs and finish with Warden & Butcher. When getting my five stacks of Nephalem, I noticed that, occasionnaly, some packs give me a double stack of Nephalem Valor. Why is it so ? If there is a specific way to get double stacks on pack, this could make farming a bit quicker :)

I have managed to complete most of the quest and all that is remaining is to give the letter to Ranmir. However, I cannot find him. I have gone in and out of the Frozen Hearth tarvern at different times. I have even left the whole place and done other quests, including loading and saving and waiting. I have tried his sisters shop and even sneaked in at night to check beds. I do not believe he is dead and have not fought a dragon in Winterhold since meeting him. He must be alive, just can't find him.

title: Is there a way to check the affixes of champions without my follower charging them?

text: I usually play DH with the Templar and the most important thing for me to check is if the champions have Damage Reflect or if the Minions are Invulnerable before I start shooting. Somehow the radius in which the affixes are displayed is very small, even if I see them in the distance hovering over them does not show their attributes. I tried on several occasions to look at their affixes while slowly walking towards them, but as soon as they are displayed my stupid follower charges them, which is pretty bothersome, as I want them to be max distance before I start shooting. Just to be clear:   * I need my follower for the extra Magic Find.   * I need to know if the champions have Damage Reflect so I can use Shadow Power or SS before my projectiles hit, otherwise I kill myself in 3-4 hits.   * I cannot use these abilities on every pack, as if they have different affixes I need to spend my Discipline on other skills.


title: Two Block Jump?

text: I was roaming around a forest in my single player survival world and kept taking fall damage. One time right when I hit the ground I jumped and appeared to jump two blocks high (To the top of the tree).

I know I'm supposed to go to the subway, but after 2 or 3 tries, I didn't successfully made it. Anyway, I get captured and I noticed I can continue the story from that point. Should I persist and reload my game until I made it to the subway or it does not change anything since I will be captured anyway?

title: How do I respec from DPS to healing?

text: My main character is a druid who just reached level 80 on Tuesday. While leveling I have played exclusively in cat form. This worked great for solo play and 5-man dungeons. However, my guild is completely overrun with tanks and DPS (mainly DKs, hunters and warlocks) but has virtually no healers. So I've been thinking of either re-spec or dual-spec into healing. My questions and concerns are:   * I'm already aware that I will need different armor since caster and DPS armor have completely different stats. What is the best way to gear up for a spec change like this?   * How easy is it to "learn" healing, and how should I go about it?   * The reason I'm interested in dual-spec is because I still like my feral kitty. Is it better to do it this way (even with the extra gear requirements) or to focus on one spec?

Which races can be which profession? If I wanted to play a thief, for example, am I limited in my selections?


title: Do alternative dimensions depends on the world seed?

text: We have a new world on our 1.0 minecraft server in which we just created a nether portal. We started exploring the nether to gather some materials, but didn't manage to find a nether fortress or structures to get some nether brick. I was thinking of deleting the nether folder of the world and let the server regenerate it from scratch, hoping for more luck during the generation process. However, before doing such, that question came to my mind : 'Is the nether dimension tied to the world seed ?'. If so, deleting the world may be useless, and we need to explore further to find a nether fortress. Does anyone have information on how the alternative dimensions are generated relative to the world seed ?


title: Calculating Dual Wield Character DPS

text: I've been hacking through several formulas across this site and others. I'm running into problems trying to figure out the true DPS when the character is dual wielding. Let's take a low level Barbarian for example.               Strength: 28     Damage Increased by Skills: 0%     Attacks per second: 1.24     Crit Chance: 5%     Crit Hit Damage: 50%          Weapon Stats:     1 Hand Spear: 7-11 Damage     Spear Base Attacks per Second: 1.20     Bonus: Increase Attack Speed by 3%      So, the formula for this would be (or any one handed character):               7 + 11 = **18**; (weapon damage range added together)     1.20 * (1 + (3 * 0.01)) = **1.236**; (base weapon speed, times any IAS bonus on the weapon plus 1)     (0 * 0.01) + 1 = **1**; (damage bonus from skills. this character has 0)     ((5 * 0.01) * (50 * 0.01)) + 1 = **1.025**; (crit chance * crit damage)     (28 * 0.01) + 1 = **1.28**; (attribute to percent + 1)      multiple all of the results above, and divide by two and you get: **14.59** which is the correct DPS of the character. But now, how would you calculate the DPS of an offhand weapon equipped to this character, say:               1H Axe     Base Speed: 1.30     Damage Range: 9-14      Does anyone know how to calculate this?

title: Who do I have to deliver the pumpkin soup to?

text: After I knocked the chandelier down in the _Lumpy Pumpkin_ , the owner strong- armed me into delivering hot pumpkin soup to someone in Skyloft, I believe a knight of some kind. Unfortunately, I didn't write down his name or title. I wasn't able to find him before the soup went cold. When I went back to the _Lumpy Pumpkin_ , the owner didn't mention anything about his request. I went to knock the chandelier down again, but it was gone. What's the name of the individual I'm supposed to deliver it to? Is it too late to make the delivery?


title: How do you get past the small pond with the crate in Chapter 4?

text: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fNgkq.jpg) If I try to push the crate away from shore, it'll gravitate again towards the shore for some reason and I'm back at square one. I can try to jump on the crate, but I'll end up slipping down into the insta-killing water. What should I do here?


title: Is it worth my time to cut bamboo?

text: I was out flying around Skyloft when I discovered the bamboo cutting challenge. At first, the proprietor said I needed to get 15 cuts. I was able to get 17, and got 30 rupees as a reward. He then said I should try and get 20 cuts. He also suggested I get a longer sword, which would help me. (I'm sure that a better sword comes later in the game.) Do I only get rupees for completing this challenge? Or is there something more meaningful I can earn? What is the maximum number of cuts I'll be asked to make?


title: What's going on in the opening sequence?

text: The opening sequence of Rayman Origins wasn't particularly easy to interpret, particularly since this game appears to have much less dialogue than past Rayman games. Does anyone know what exactly happened in this opening sequence?
