title: Pokémon Y megastone problem

text: I'm having a hard time with obtaining the post-game mega stones in _Pokémon Y_. I have beaten The Champ and rival many times & my ring has been upgraded. I have been looking daily between 8 and 9pm in their proper places. I think these stones appearing may be a one time deal unless the times are different in version _Y_.


title: Is there a maximum to the amount of health/HP?

text: I had accumulated a large quantity of candy and figured that since I had nothing else to spend them on at the time, I would eat them to increase my health. However my HP did not change as seen below. (I’m not playing in hard mode.) Is there a hard limit to the amount of health you can have from eating candies? (I couldn’t find anything about it in the wiki.) Could it be a bug? * * * ![Before and after screenshot of eating 11 million candies with no change to HP](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XpKrN.png)


title: Are there any privacy issues associated with scanning the QR codes in Fez?

text: I want to play and enjoy the game I paid for, but don't want any spam, or to be "tracked". Does anyone have any insight on this?


title: Can't complete Striking the heart

text: I am unable to complete striking the heart quest. I don't suffer from the same bug where the enemy is already killed. I was able to kill the silver hand leader. My quest log tells me to talk to Aela. When I speak to her, I get no options to complete the quest. What are my options? I received this quest a while ago, went off and did other quests and then came back so loading up an old save isn't much of an option for me. EDIT: I had the xbox 360 tag on since that is where I am playing. That was removed and I am not sure why. I felt this was important so that answers did not include doing something on the console.


title: At what points do vassals become too big?

text: I am playing as Venice, and I have Serbia and the Byzantines as my vassals. I am in the process of annexing Serbia, but it is a slow process. At the same time, I want to wage war on the Ottomans, and make them return provinces to Byzantines. However, I am a bit worried that they will become too big to be a vassal, and rebel or declare independence. Here's how my realm currently looks – I am not sure how much is relevant.               COUNTRY    PROVINCES    FORCELIMIT    NAVAL LIMIT    INCOME    TECH    BASE TAX     Venice        17            44             60          44      9/6/7      114     Byzantium      6             9             20           8      7/7/7       24     Serbia         5             8              5           4      6/7/8       16      If we are looking at size (number of provinces), they are currently 0.35 times my size. I am planning to return 4 provinces to the Byzantines. That means they will be 0.59 times my size, which sounds worrying. If I wait untill I've successfully annexed Serbia, they will only be 0.45 my size (if no other provinces are gained or lost). So, which numbers are relevant in the equation? Is there a set limit where they will start rebelling? I can see they already have a CB, but so does Serbia. Or will they simply declare independence and that's it? **EDIT:** After doing some research, I've found out that it might have something to do with base tax, so I've added that to the table. I believe the magical limit may be 60%, but I am not sure. If that is the case, the math is as follows: **Current:** 14%   **Future:** 43%   **+ Serbia** : 38% Is this correct?


title: Does supporting Diana Allers mean that you can no longer kick her off the Normandy?

text: The first few times I've visited Diana Allers in her cabin, I've had the option to kick her off the Normandy: Recently, she argued with a crew member about whether or not to run a story and I took her side. Afterwards, I found that the dialogue option to kick her off the ship was no longer available. **Does supporting Diana mean that she becomes a permanent part of the crew?**


title: How do you counter Vladimir?

text: I have no idea how to face Vladimir - every time I face him I lose. I normally play as Ashe, Corki, Lulu, or Brand, if that makes a difference. The trouble I have is that he turret dives so well thanks to his pool. Is there anything I can do to counter this?


title: Can PS Vita memory cards be switched between consoles?

text: If I had a PS Vita and a memory card with games/saves on it tied to a PSN account, is it possible to put that memory card into a different PS Vita and still access the same content without any additional steps? This is assuming I would be signed into the same PSN account on both consoles. The use case here is upgrading/replacing the Vita itself: can I simply put the same memory card into a new Vita if the current Vita breaks and carry on as if nothing had happened?


title: How do I send resources to a "Great Work"?

text: I have started building the Arcology project, and I'm producing metal and alloy myself. Normally I export these products to earn money, but does anyone know if I have to set the trade settings to "Use locally" instead of "Export" to make them send the resources to the project? How long does it take to send those resources? I'm producing around 100kg metal a day, and 2,8t is needed. So it should go pretty fast huh? Thanks!


title: How does +elemental damage work?

text: Does +element damage items increase damage of spells or just add elemental damage to the attack of the weapon it's on? For example, I have a poison damage focused Outlander and was wondering if +poison gems in my weapon would increase DPS.


title: When I use a Prestige Token to Unlock Gear, what happens?

text: Modern Warfare 3 introduced the concept of the "Prestige Token," and one of its uses is to "Unlock Gear." I'm trying to decide if I want to invest any of my tokens in this category. Can someone explain what this means precisely? What I'm curious about is:   * What can I unlock? Just weapons, or can I unlock equipment or Perks?   * How long does it stay unlocked? For just the next Prestige, or for all my other Prestiges as well?   * If I can unlock Perks, do I get to keep the Pro version of the perk?   * Do I get to keep my Weapon XP on a weapon if I unlock it?    * Do weapon challenges reset on an unlocked weapon?   * Do weapon proficiencies, attachments, and camo reset on an unlocked weapon?


title: How do I Find an Escaped Prisoner?

text: I have a quest from the 'Companions' to kill an escaped prisoner. He is said to be roaming Haarfingar. When I bring up the journal and highlight the quest, It offers no clues on the map.

title: How to select DLC chacters in Warhammer Quest

text: Having just purchased four of the DLC characters for Warhammer Quest (via iOS in-app purchase), I cannot for the life of me work out how to create a party using them. Starting a new party doesn't appear to give any screen to select characters, when in the adventurer's guild I don't seem to be able to retire the starting characters and pick the DLC ones, and when entering a dungeon they are not marked as ready for battle. What am I doing wrong?


title: How can I upgrade the L1 resonators on my faction's portal to L2?

text: Today I found a portal owned by my faction that had a full house of 8 L1 resonators. I have a couple L2 resonators in my item inventory and wanted to deploy one. From the portal's main actions screen I selected `Upgrade`. From there I was shown a close up of the existing resonators that I could cycle through. Unfortunately, the `Upgrade` option on each of them was grayed out for me. Clicking on it only produce a text-over error: > No usable resonators I checked my items list and there are still two L2 resonators in my inventory. What am I doing wrong? How can I deploy these resonators to the portal?


title: Can I get a premium TF2 account that's able to trade if I receive an old gift copy?

title: Why does my FPS drop dramatically in Opportunity?

text: For some reason whenever I'm in Opportunity and I look around at all the buildings, my FPS drops to below 40, sometimes 30. Opportunity isn't the only place it happens, but it's most notable there. My PC specs:   * AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.68Ghz   * Radeon HD 7950   * 16Gb DDR3 RAM   * 128Gb SSD As you can see this is a pretty high end PC. I have updated all my drivers, so please don't tell me to. Note: I just noticed this happening even more in Thousand Cuts, if you go to the Hyperion barrier and look over the Slab fortress.


title: How do I replay current chapter from beginning?

text: So there was an unfortunate checkpoint placement in the chapter about chasing down Lilly (after seeing her through the glass disembarking from the dropship) where a you jump onto a big rotating metal platform and I missed the jump. The game saved mid-jump and reloading results in me dying continuously. I can replay previous chapters from the main menu but I have found no way to replay the current chapter from the beginning. Is there a way to get back to a previous checkpoint or to the beginning of the chapter so I don't have to restart the whole game again, from the beginning?


title: Are You Weak at Level 80?

text: I have a few level 30-ish Skyrim characters, but I have a concern about what life will be like at levels 50-80. At level 30-ish, I have maxed out all my important fighting skills. For instance, as an assassin rogue my: one-hand, sneak, light armor, and alchemy are all topped out. In order to level to 80 I am going to have to level things I don't need: destruction, heavy armor, two-hand weapons, etc. I am concerned that while I am spending 30-50 levels improving skills that don't help me fight, all my enemies fighting skills will still be improving. Is this a reasonable fear? If I am level 80 will I still be fighting like a level 30 toon? What about raiding a dungeon at level 60-80? Is it harder or easier than at level 30?


title: Is there any way to predict where a star will show up?

text: Sometimes there are platforms and a star could be above or below them. By the time you see it, it's too late if you're not on the right path. It's frustrating that it breaks your streak and you have no control over it, because all you can do is guess. Is there anyway to know ahead of time where the star will be, so you don't have to guess?


title: Redstone rendering far away from player

text: When I create really big circuits and I go some distance away, the redstone mechanisms stop working and freeze. And if I come back they are still frozen. I have to click on a wire or repeater and place it again to get it working again. My circuit is too big for me to keep all of the chunks loaded by myself, and I can't open minecraft ten times and connect all clients to the server and place all players around the circuit. Can I expand the area where redstone works?


title: What is with these pervert Bobokins?

text: Every time I ask Fi to analyze a Bobokin, she tells me how they have a fascination with "fashionable undergarments". She says this about every single one, Red Bobokins, Green Bobokins, Archer Bobokins, Electric Bobokins, Cursed Bobokins... At first the anecdotes about these creatures' fascination with underwear was amusing. But now it's just disturbing... Does this have any actual plot significance? Or is it just a joke that wears thin as the game progresses?


title: Extreme drop in framerate when playing Dragon Age: Origins for PS3

text: I'm playing Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition for PS3 with the 1.01 patch installed. Whenever I'm exploring and enter into combat, the game pauses/freezes/the framerate drops to near zero. After a second or two, it begins to refresh again, but the framerate continues to lag for several seconds after that. Eventually, after five seconds or so, framerate picks back up to interactive levels. Is this a known issue? It makes playing the game a chore, especially when entering areas with lots of mobs.


title: Maximizing gameplay time in Spiral Knights

text: With a nod towards @mrrgl's answer, I have a question. As a person not intending to spend real-world money on Spiral Knights (nor do I typically carry enough crowns to buy crystal energy), I find myself often running short on energy to experience dungeons past Moorcraft Manor. Is it possible to somehow make it deeper than 10 dungeons on the free energy? The only answer I can come up with is to leave SK running and let the energy replace itself over time while idling in game...but that would involve me having to leave my computer on quite a bit.


title: How do I manage energy efficiently?

text: I keep running out of energy and food.


title: As a Terran player, what should I do differently as a result of the 1.4 patch gameplay changes?

text: 1.4 includes quite a few changes to gameplay (here is a condensed list):   * Unit vision up ramps has been reduced by 1.   * Immortal Attack range increased from 5 to 6.    * Mothership Acceleration increased from 0.3 to 1.375.   * Mothership's Cloaking Field no longer cloaks all units instantaneously, but rather adds units to the cloak field over time (maximum of 25 per second).    * Stalker Blink research time increased from 110 to 140.    * Warp Prism Shields increased from 40 to 100.    * Barracks Build time increased from 60 to 65.    * Hellion Infernal Pre-Igniter damage upgrade decreased from 10 to 5.    * Raven Seeker missile movement speed increased from 2.5 to 2.953.    * Infestor Fungal Growth damage changed from 36 (+30% armored) to 30 (40 vs Armored).    * Neural Parasite range decreased from 9 to 7.   * Overseer Morph cost decreased from 50/100 to 50/50.    * Contaminate energy cost increased from 75 to 125.    * Ultralisk Build time decreased from 70 to 55. As a Terran player, what changes to my tactics and strategy should I be thinking about implementing as a result of these changes? For example, are there things that were uncommon or ineffective that I should now add to my play? Are there things that used to be common that I should now avoid?


title: How can I improve my melee skills in TF2?

text: _Plants vs. Zombies_ is available for PC, iPad, and iPhone so far as I know. I'd like to help answer _Plants vs. Zombies_ questions, but my knowledge is based on the PC version. So... What platforms are _Plants vs. Zombies_ available on? Are there any major differences between the versions available on each platform such as: gameplay, campaign, puzzles, survival, achievements, or anything else?


title: How do I buy the house in Riften?

text: Who do I talk to to start the quest to buy the house in Riften? I have talked the Stewart, the Jarl and did a quest for the court mage and still no quest started. Do I have to kill the dragon behind Riften? Or is there some other way to do this.


title: People can see me when I should be invisible! What do I do?

text: Frequently, while playing as a hero that relies on invisibility (such as Broodmother), there comes a point in the game where I _should_ be invisible, yet people walk right up to me and attack me anyway. How do they do this and how can I counter it?


title: How do I counter Abaddon late game?

text: His ult, "Borrowed Time", seems unbelievably powerful. I've seen an allied Abaddon charge into the enemy fountain on purpose, to heal (while killing stuff, of course). Recently, Abaddon was single-handedly wrecking my entire team, late game, despite my teammates in lane against him killing him several times in the early game. How do I stop Abaddon?


title: Is there a way to instantly cool down Greater Powers in a place where I can't wait?

text: > Each Greater Power can only be used once per game day. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Powers#Greater_Powers Game time scale is 20 times faster than real time, so a day is 24 hours divided by 20 = 1.25 hours of real-time to recharge a Greater Power. https://www.youtube.com/v/JaAd8OuwwPk&autoplay=1&start=25&end=27 I don't want to use "sgtm" because it makes physics wonky and I'm in a location where I can't wait (Helgen escape). So, is there a way—even via exploit, console command, or mod—to cleanly instantaneously cool down a Greater Power? Alternatively, is there a way to be able to use the wait option during the Helgen escape?


title: Why does every server I try say it can't connect?

text: I just re-purchased Minecraft (because my old profile stopped working so I bought it) after not playing it for a couple of months. I've added a bunch of servers, but almost every one says "can not connect." I know its not because the server is not 1.7.2, because I checked that they'd update. It will say "server can't connect" after a long time. I don't know if its me or the servers. My server screen looks like this (notice the one at the bottom – it's still loading!): ![Server Screen Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Y2e4r.png)


What does +XP refer to in tech descriptions of Endless Space? For instance, in "Hardened Framing", its description is given as: "+6 ship XP on building on star system". Does this mean the built ship gets +6 hit points, or the hero leading the system (if there is one) would get 6 experience points for each ship built in that system? I am asking because the font is small enough on my system that the description might be "+6 ship HP on building on star system", and for close quarter slug fests at the start of the game, I could use all the edges I can find.


title: Can I disable the background video effects?

text: While playing effects/filters will occasionally be added to the video that runs in the background. While some of them are not so noticeable (b&w), others are incredibly distracting (over the top motion blur, faux-overexposure), to the point where it's difficult to concentrate on the track in the foreground. All I want to do is lay down some beats, can I disable the background video effects?


title: What's the difference between the fishing poles?

text: You start out with the Teacher's Pole, and I see that one of the rewards offered by the Fisherman who teaches you to fish is the Old Man's Pole. What's the difference between the poles offered in the game? Does the cursor for catching them move slower? Is the Impact area larger or does it do more damage? Do I get more chances to successfully catch the fish? Basically, what advantages does the Old Man's Pole have over the Teacher's Pole (or any other, if there are hidden ones)?


title: Are there benefits of a clan tag?

text: I see a lot of people with clan tags online. So, are there any benefits of having one, beside having a clan?


title: How did I get Corki for free?

text: I played LoL months ago and began saving IP. I intended (and still do) to buy runes upon hitting level 20, using just free heroes until that point. Recently I started playing again with a friend who was surprised to see that I have Corki "purchased" on my account, who is in the most expensive tier- actually costing more than I've earned total to this point. He's also quite easy to dominate games with, though he seems to have been nerfed substantially from when I used to play. Was there once a way to unlock him, or was he just at one point substantially cheaper and I splurged without remembering so?


title: Why do units gain experience at different rates?

text: I have just started playing Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and I have no previous experience playing Fire Emblem games. I have notice some characters level up really slowly while others rise through the levels quite quickly. Why do they level at different speeds?


title: If I run my own minecraft server, will I have to pay for the clients?

text: My family currently uses the XBox minecraft edition. I thought it would be a fun project to set up a minecraft server with my kids. I've got some hardware to run the server. I've downloaded the client software. When it starts up, it wants to update from some account. Is it necessary to by a client to connect to my own server? Perhaps another question: Do I have to buy a client for each computer I want to connect?


title: What is the fastest way to unlock contact missions in GTA online?

text: While playing GTA Online I've unlocked most of the "contact" missions by either accepting TXTs sent by Gerald, Lester, Martin, Ron etc. - or by phoning them up and requesting a job. The problem I have at the moment is at level 121 there's still a handful of missions I haven't played/ unlocked yet and trying to access them is frustratingly time consuming. Last month's patch added 10 jobs and I've only managed to play/ unlock 3 of them. If I phone and "Request Job" the odds are I'll get a job I've done before. I have to wait between "Request Job" calls and often I get offered the same missions again and again. Has anyone in a similar situation worked out a method to unlock the remaining contact missions?


title: What are the cool downs for swapping skill/runes?

title: What is the cool-down period on reselling items on the Real Money Auction House?

text: From the Blizzard Auction House FAQ: > # If I no longer need an item I bought in the auction house, can I relist it > in the auction house? > > Yes. Once you've purchased an item you can do anything with it that you > could if you had acquired it through your own adventures, whether that be > using it yourself, **or, after a cool-down period, trading it to another > character or relisting it on either the gold-based or currency-based auction > house.** **EDIT:** I know for the Gold auction house, there is no cooldown, but I was wondering if there was one for the RMAH. I don't want to put down cash to test this out, but I would also like to know how long I have to wait before reselling an item or trading it to a friend. How long is the cool-down period for reselling/trading items purchased from the RMAH, if any at all?

title: Hardcore vs Standard Shared Stash Limitations

text: Can you exchange items between your hardcore and standard characters, using your shared stash?


title: Weapons: Are there upgrades or only side-grades?

text: I seem to always find weapons with great stats except for one that completely nerfs the weapon. A sniper with a great critical rate, but 3 rounds and terrible reload speed or a shotgun that does great damage with only one shot. Am I just getting unlucky or do weapons that roll super stats always come with some drawbacks? If so at higher levels does the chance of drawbacks decrease?


title: Where is the Contract Board in Vergen?

text: I found the Contract Board in Flotsam easily enough -- it's right next to the Inn. But now that I've reached Vergen, I've been looking for a new contract board, and haven't yet had much luck. Does Vergen have a contract board? I have a feeling it's hiding right in front of my eyes...


title: Who do I have to play to beat everyone in Dice in Flotsam?

text: I'm trying to get the she-troll head but the guy that has it won't play dice with me because I'm not good enough. I've already defeated the people at the inn. I also know that the the dwarf book trader won't play me. Who and in which order am I supposed to play?


title: Can you profit from crafting / alchemy?

text: Is there any money to be made from purchasing (or hoarding) low-end components like timber or twine, crafting them into better items, then selling? Or is crafting just an inherently lossy/expensive way to obtain the best gear for yourself? What about for potions/oils/bombs via alchemy (which at least incurs no labor charges) ?


title: How can I get Faize AND Arumat's battle trophies when one of them isn't going to be in my party?

Is there anything more sensible to grind while doing these kills?


title: Can monsters/bandits spawn in my house?

title: What is the best equipment setup for the Cave of Seven Stars?

text: So I'm in the Cave of 7 stars, currently around level 100. I don't require lots of XP or Fol really, as I have many hours of grinding for the rest of the trophies anyway, so I'm wondering what equipment would be best for here. Obviously I want to block as many statuses as possible as that is the largest cause of failures during battle. What Synth's offer the best items for blocking statuses?


title: If police from another city apprehend a criminal in your city, where is that criminal rehabilitated?

text: I have started a small town, and in order to save money I am volunteering a couple extra patrol cars from a nearby city with a large police precinct. At times, i get a notification about them coming to my town and providing coverage. In a city with its own police station, criminals are arrested and put into their jail cells. The criminals are then rehabilitated and released once the rehab time expires. **In my case, what happens to the criminal? Does the city providing coverage take the criminal back to their town and go through the entire rehab process there? Or does the criminal simply disappear** (presumably in a nearby garbage incinerator)?


title: What would be the best solution to import map on 1.8?

text: Will all know that 1.8 is released and I'm sure lots of us are wondering, what will happen with our maps on this update. With the rivers, tunnels, new biomes, etc... old chunck might broke with the new ones making the map kinda odds. So what could be the best solution to move to 1.8 without having the reset the map and lose all structures that players have made. I was thinking to make a region from the whole village and save it with World Edit but I dunno if it's a good idea.. What will you guys do in my place ?

title: The Pits - who wrote it and where is it now?

text: My last question was closed as too ambiguous. So I have readdressed the question into several specific questions.   1. Who wrote the text based adventure game "The Pits" which was on "The Source" computer system in the early 80s?   2. Where is the source code for this game now?   3. Has it been ported to Linux or Windows? Note that the game in question is a text based game and not a graphics game. The last question had a couple of answers before it was closed. They pointed to a different game than I am asking about. Previous question is http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/28936/does- anyone-have-any-info-on-an-old-game-called-the-pit

title: Minecraft, OpenGL, and the dreaded Bad Graphics Card error!

text: After hearing about minecraft for a while, I figured I'd head over to Minecraft.net and see what all the fuss was about. After watching a few tutorials, I was hooked on the concept and decided to buy the game. After paying for the game, I tried to fire up the app using the in browser version. It worked but it was dreadfully slow. No prob-- I noticed that there was a downloadable version so I figured I would give it a try. When I launch the game, I get an error about a bad graphics card driver. After a bit of googling,I learned that this is usually about the need for openGL support. I've yet to find a driver that fixes the problem but I wonder if i need too. Is there something that I can do to get this game to work like it does in the browser? Maybe a passing the exe a couple of parameters? I am quite curious. Why would the game work in the browser but not from the download? What's the difference?


title: Will a higher level Staff of Herding open the lower difficulty Whimsyshire?

text: So I know that there are multiple levels of the Staff of Herding, and they get significantly more expensive as you go up in difficulties. I play with a lot of people who have varying amounts of time to play, and will be at vastly different levels. I'd like to be able to go into the unicorn level with anyone, no matter what level they are. Will I need to get a staff for each level if I want to be able to enter Whimsyshire on multiple difficulties, or will an Inferno Staff open all the lower level portals?

title: Spiral Knights will not start

text: I've recently gotten a new laptop, and am attempting to play Spiral Knights on it, however the game simply will not load. Every time I attempt to start it, I get a "This game is currently unavailable, please try again at another time" error. I've tried verifying the integrity of the game cache, deleting the local content and reinstalling, rebooting my computer... nothing works. Since this has persisted for a few days, I doubt it's on steam's end, is there any fix for this?


title: How can I determine the quality of a socketed gem?

text: Since learning that unsocketing destroys neither the gem nor the item, I have been socketing like it's my job. Unfortunately, now I don't remember which quality gem went in which item. I'd rather not spend 420 gold just to learn I can't yet upgrade the gem. Is there any way I can tell which quality the gem is while it is still in the item?


title: If I breed a male Pokemon with a Ditto is the gender going to be male or will the gender be random?

text: I've got a male Eevee, and a Ditto. I'd like to have a female Eevee so I can have a female Sylveon. So if I breed a male with a Ditto will it always come back as a male, or will the gender be random? Update (10/20): Well finally after breeding my Eevee with a Ditto I finally managed to get one. ![Originally posted on Kalos](http://i.stack.imgur.com/oVyEL.jpg)


title: Minecraft: Is setting the spawn-monsters setting to false equivalent to peaceful?

text: In server.properties there is a spawn-monsters setting that you can set to false. It stops them from spawning, but does it remove existing monsters like setting the difficulty to peaceful? In other words, can I allow monsters for a little while and then safely turn them back off, or will creepers that spawned while it was on linger, awaiting unsuspecting victims?


title: How does "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." work?

text: I have a storylet that is just called '"Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn."' It's description only says: > "...And, the labourer is worthy of his reward." Of course, you may not > consider yourself a 'labourer'. Or a 'him'. But everyone likes rewards. > [Your Profession will bring you a reward every week. Complete your duties > and receive it.] Apparently it's from using 'An Earnest of Payment' or something, but I don't remember how I got that. I've also read that it gives you an item depending on your profession. The description also mentions something about it being weekly. How did I get it? Is it renewable? Should I wait until I get a better profession to use it? What does it mean by the portion in brackets?


title: Can I use dungeon keys in the nexus?

text: In the past in Realm of the Mad God, one was able to collect keys from defeated Gods that would open dungeons, bring these keys to the nexus, open the dungeon and flood it with the crowd in the nexus. This ability to collect keys from defeated Gods was axed, but now I see the ability to buy these dungeon keys. Before I buy a key, I'd like to know if it can be used in the nexus.


title: What random events are possible in the false crypts?

title: Is it worth investing in magic find early on in Diablo 3 to build up your piggy bank?

text: Presumably, magic find is going to end up netting you a lot of gold (via eventually giving higher chances for rare+ items). However, focusing on increasing gold drops seems like the immediate win for a early game character (let's say for the first playthrough). What are the pros/cons of investing in magic find over gold % early on?

title: How can I search a rare item by name in the Auction House?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Is it possible to search for existings auctions of a rare item? I'm fairly frustrated with searching in the auction house. I want to search for a rare item by name. Here's the only search bar I see: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/oHK5q.jpg) As you can see, this field is clearly marked legendary or set item. But I don't want to search for these kinds of items. I want to search for a **rare** item by name. How do I search for specific rare items in the Auction House? And for the record, I did try to use this search field for the rare item in question. It doesn't work. It's defintiely legendary and set only.

title: Arma 3 Editor: Remove Vehicles depending on players opting into the mission

text: I'm fairly new to ArmA 3 scripting, and i'd like to know how to only spawn starting vehicles depending on how many players opt in to the mission. Say, the mission has four slots, but only two people fill them. There would be four vehicles, but two would be deleted on the mission start because those players weren't present. I've tried putting this code in the initialization of each vehicle;               sleep 1; if (isNull unit1) then {deleteVehicle this;} else {};      But it only gives me errors when the mission starts.


title: What are the minimum skills for material research for all BPOs?

text: What are the minimum skills required to be able to research material efficiency for every BPO in the game? I know metallurgy affects the speed, but some BPOs, to my surprise when I discovered it, like rig BPOs require that you have the appropriate rigging skill also. For example, to research material efficiency on a large field purger rig, you have to have metallurgy 1 and shield rigging 1. What is the list of all the minimum skills required to be able to research all BPOs?


title: What are the consequences of my choices?

text: Can anyone help me understand Industrial Revolution better? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uZBKC.png) The designers want the player to make a reasoned decision about who to give resources to, but I don't really understand what the consequences of my decisions are? From the game's FAQ: > Your decisions are important. Every choice you make in Industrial Revolution > is permanent! > > Your choices over the course of the entire game will affect which faction > rewards you earn when you complete Industrial Revolution. There's doesn't seem to be much information about each of the two factions for me to decide who to side with. I don't know much about the storyline of _Bioshock Infinite_ (beyond what the two trailers show), so I really don't know how I'm supposed to make an informed decision as to who to support? I loved Cogs, but I'm afraid to play this game incase I make the wrong decision!


title: Do PS2 emulators support joypads with varying button sensitivity

text: The PS2 joy-pads had variable button sensitivity. For example, in MGS3, slightly holding the square was used for aiming, and pressing it all the way to the end meant _shoot_. Does any Playstation 2 emulator support such joy- pads in a reliable/accurate manner? I am asking this in the scope of the aforementioned MGS3 which I'd like to replay again and I remember that playing on a cheap, unoriginal pad was a pain.

title: How can I tell which way mushrooms and powerups travel when hitting a ? block?

text: Just playing Super Mario on the Virtual Console, and was perplexed by this. Sometimes, when hitting a ? block or secret block that has a mushroom or a 1-up, it is very hard to tell which way the 'shroom will go once it pops up. Sometimes, it has a tendency to move to the right, and sometimes, it will move to the left. A bigger offender is the 1-up mushroom blocks, that when you expect them to move towards you, they tend to move off the opposite direction, usually into a pit or a death trap. I'd like to be able to accurately and scientifically figure out the patterns of mushrooms, but I'll need some help. How can I tell which way powerups and mushrooms will go?

title: Is there any granular way to change decisions made in ME1/ME2 to see different outcomes in ME3?

text: In ME1 and ME2, I had to make decisions not really understanding their impact on the series as a whole. Now that I'm partway through ME3, I find myself curious as to what would have happened had I made a different choice previously. What if I'd done X? What if I'd let Y live/die? I can't just replay ME3, import my ME2 save, and make different choices to see these outcomes - I'd have to make changes to the way I played ME/ME2. Likewise, importing no save would make wholesale changes to my experience that I'm not sure I'd appreciate. Besides starting the entire series over again, and running through each game dozens of times to explore the various permutations, what can I do to change the way things play out in ME3? Do I get the option to edit the imported starting state on New Game+? I'm on the Xbox, so save file editing or importing from the internet is likely to be at least challenging, if not impossible.

title: Tekken TT2 - Using weapon items from costumes?

text: In Tekken Tag Tournament 2, how do you use items of weaponry such as guns and grenades from the costumes? I can't really see the buttons there since it's so small.

You find these in the CUSTOMIZE section of the game.


title: Is there a place where i can build up Level 40 characters

title: In StarCraft 2, are points comparable across leagues?

text: I'm in Silver league, and I have about 400 points. This ranks me at about 30th in my division. Using SC2Ranks.com, I looked at one of the top Gold divisions and noticed that if I were in Gold, I would be ranked at about 60th place, assuming points mean the same thing across leagues. So that is my question, does it make sense for me to compare points across leagues? The reason I ask is because we recently created a custom division for Starcraft.org - you can see it at this link. You'll notice the top Platinum player has around 741 points, whereas the top Diamond player has around 537. If points meant the same thing across leagues, I would expect the website to rank the 741-point player at the top, despite him being in Platinum league. I also notice that that custom division website gives each person a "value" - which I had presumed was some combination of points + league, making me question further whether points could be compared against leagues. So can you compare points across leagues?

title: Choosing the right team composition, making decisions

text: A few days ago I formed a ranked team. We had few matches but they were pretty bad. We have the skills to win but I think that we chose bad team comps and we make bad decisions. How do we improve our team comps? What can we do to improve our decision making? Example situation: Enemy team swapped top and bot lanes. Our top was 1v2 (vs ADC + SUPP). They out pushed the lane, and we couldn't defend against their push. We were unable to take advantage of our 2 v 1 on bot. After that we lost a few team fights and then the game was over. We can win when we are in laning phase and there are no lane swaps made. However, when team fights start, we just come too late or simply lose the fight. Yes, we win sometimes but if enemy team is stronger, we just lose. After few lost team fights, they just push together and that's it. We try to defend but they're fed and we can't do anything. If we try to push, they just kill us. So, that's it. Any tips on how to avoid this?

title: Do war hosts have any weaknesses?

text: A massive army of 10000 men suddenly appeared, intent on conquering Sweden. My own army itself is only 10000 including mercenaries, but even if I get good defensive ground they get wiped out immediately. My troops are already raised (due to other wars) and their morale is at maximum, but they still get trounced once the battle moves to melee range (I suspect the enemy has more heavy infantry). Had this been a country, I could split my army and siege several different holdings simultaneously or something, but there seems to be no actual weaknesses in this bomb. What are the ways I can resist an unbeatable army?


title: What are the 'levels' of matches in Triple Town?

text: I'm playing Triple Town on Android, and have never managed to match 3 on a mansion as yet. So I was wondering how many levels I'm missing. ;) What I've seen: **Rock starter:**   * Small rock (unmatched diamond)   * Large rock   * Treasure chest **Bear starter:**   * Bear   * Gravestone   * Chapel   * Cathedral   * Treasure chest **Grass starter:**   * Grass   * Bush   * Tree   * Barn   * House   * Mansion Does the grass series eventually hit treasure chest as well? Or are there extra levels I haven't managed to achieve so far?

title: Does vehicle damage hinder vehicle performance in Forza Horizon?

text: When driving from event to event, occasionally my vehicle will take massive amounts of cosmetic damage. I am curious is that damage shown on the vehicle is hindering that vehicle's performance. I know I can instant repair by going to my body shop or going into an event menu & backing out, but I'm curious if I should do this before issuing a road challenge against a rival. Is the damage just cosmetic or it is hindering performance ?

title: Can I re-enter the Sacred Grove on Zelda Twilight Princess?

text: I'm playing Twilight Princess for the Wii. I just entered the Sacred Grove for the first time, fought the woods kid, and got the Master Sword. Reading the heart pieces guides, I see that I have to bomb a specific stone in the grove to get a heart piece (and a Poe's soul). Problem is, I got in without bombs. I tried warping out and buying bombs, but I cannot get back in the grove: the wooden door is closed, and the triforce stone I howled to to enter doesn't react to proximity anymore. Is it possible to get the heart piece afterwards? Or are there bombs in the area? Or can I move the stone by other means? My savegame is still inside the grove, if it helps.


title: Colorful question marks seen when blind

text: After finishing the Quest (Valkyrie), I noticed that when I am blinded monsters no longer appear as monsters...instead they show up as colorful question marks. I'm not sure exactly what the correlation was, other than that is the last thing that I really did. I did some searching of the Wiki and couldn't find an explanation, so I pose the question here. Using the telepathy intrinsic has figured pretty heavily into my game plan, and to have it going away makes me have a sad.

title: How can I determine what the current market value of my items are?

text: **Background**   For the last few days, I've been attempting to figure out what my items current market value are, if anything. **Attempts**   This is extremely hard to figure out, due to the auction house. I have attempted to input items into the in-game search, but with the limit of only three criteria, you can't input _any_ rare items fully. Even if you could, though, the auction house is not a very good way to determine what the market value of an item is, due to it displaying what items are _listed_ for, and very rarely shows you items that are sold. Without knowing if an item sells at the listed price, this data is not very helpful at all. I have tried listing items that look similar at roughly the same price, and they rarely get sold. Even when I start the bids extremely low, it's even rarer to even get bids. I also tried the human element: I bit the bullet and posted on the bnet forums. Unfortunately, with the amount of users all attempting to hawk their wares at the same time, the only way to get a response is to continually bump your post back to the front page. It took all of twenty minutes to bury my request for a price check to the fifth page. Even with multiple bumps, I never got a response. I have also tried the d2jsp forums. While not as busy as the bnet forums, it suffers from the same problems, and you have no idea if anyone is telling you the truth, or giving you a low valuation in an attempt to score themselves a deal. I managed to get a single valuation, out of the roughly dozen items I posted, after two days. I've even tried a few websites that purport to tell you what the market value of your items are, and the one that actually provided a value, didn't seem to be even close to what I would rough it out to. **Research**   I have read What factors should I use to price an item in the auction house?, and the tips there certainly help to give you an idea on what items might be worth something, but it doesn't address trying to figure out what your items are worth, other than to compare against the auction house. Items that roll extremely high on their stats are worth MUCH more than if the item had rolled the exact same affixes, but with lower stats. The closer you get to maximum rolls, the best I can determine is that the price increases almost exponentially. **Conclusion**   Does anyone know of any resource (person, website, utility, whatever), that I can use to basically throw my item at he/she/it, and it comes back with a general estimate? Preferably within a reasonable time frame, but so long as it's reliable, I can wait a few days for an answer.

title: What to do when GameSpy goes offline?

text: I have a question about computer software, regarding the networking element in games which use GameSpy. Gamespy has announced it will permanently shut down this year. serial authentication, matchmaking and other features will not work because the servers will be offline (unreachable). Is there a way to setup my own server so I still can play all the games I paid for? As CD-Key authentication won't work I probably won't be able to play a few of my games, is that right? When this happens is it legal to use cracks? Or is there any software which will allow me to setup a GameSpy-like server on my LAN?


title: Clash of Clans on wrong Google+ account when moving from iOS

text: I'm having quite a problem with syncing iOS to Android... So, I have an iPhone 4S that I was using, and I was exchanging phones with my dad, so I would get a Samsung s4 instead of my iPhone. The thing is, I was wondering how to sync iOS to Android, so I looked it up and did it. Here's where the problem starts. My dad had his google account on the samsung galaxy when I linked the CoC, so my CoC is connected to his account. Now, when we switched the phones, I obviously put my own Google Account on the phone. Sadly, Clash of Clans only lets you sync to another kind of phone once, and when I tried to get the code again on my iPad which was synced to my iPhone with Game Center, it wouldn't give me the code. So now my Clash of Clans is stuck on my dad's Google account. I need help to put my village onto my own Google account, is there any way to do this? Thanks!

title: Does jumping to a nebula still slow the rebel fleet if they're not yet visible in the sector?

text: It's not unusual to find a few nebula beacons in non-nebula sectors. These apparently delay the rebel fleet's advance when you visit them. It seems like they always end up clustered right around where I start in the sector, though; do they still delay the rebel fleet even if the rebel fleet hasn't (visibly) arrived in the sector yet? Alternately, how many jumps does it _normally_ take before the rebel fleet appears in the sector?

title: Cause of mysterious PS3 connection drops and lag?

text: I'm having an interesting problem with my roommate's PS3. It was working relatively fine until I changed the router password. When I attempted to change the network configuration for the PS3 to use the new password, everything went to hell. First, I had an amazing time trying to get the PS3 to even connect to the router (remember, the only setting changed was the password, same algorithm, etc). I ended up having to assign it a static IP (the previous IP was technically static - the router renews LAN addresses every month since only a couple of people use it), and manually forward all of the ports required before it would even pass a connection test. Now it connects fine, reports a great signal strength, (hovers between 90-95%) and up/down speed, yet takes an incredible amount of time to retrieve game profiles and such. When my room-mate can get onto a server in Call of Duty/other FPS games, he experiences frequent lag spikes and connection drops. The bizarre thing is that the only thing that has changed recently was the password and the PS3 seems to be convinced the network is fine. In fact, it reports a better connection than my laptop gets. Even the in-game network quality bar hovers between 3-4 bars (out of 4) despite the latency jitter. This problem confounds me since there does not appear to be any issue with the wifi and since it does work on and off. There can't be a port forwarding issue (since such an issue would cause consistent problems). I have a cable modem which is bridged over ethernet(properly) with a wireless router (which acts as the access point) (Linksys WRT54G) running DD-WRT firmware. **After** I discovered the problem, I tried tweaking all sorts of settings which could possibly be related (i.e TCP/UDP timeout, beacon interval, MTU, cleared UPnP ports and restarted, forwarded every port I could find that was related to MW3 and PSN, etc), but to no avail. Note that a few days ago, I set up a web server and forwarded port 80, but as far as I know, the PS3 does not have any services that listen on that port (only outbound). Besides, you'd think that if that was the problem, the connection wouldn't be intermittent, it simply wouldn't work. Either way, removing the port forward rule does not fix the problem.

title: Does the Realta Nua PC Releases still have the route branch in the Fate Route

text: i know that the Realta Nua PC version was released as 3 games and there is now a patch for all 3 (i'm waiting abit before i get it just to allow the bugs to get ironed out) however one thing got to me, in the Original PC version you had to complete the Fate Route in order to trigger the flag at the end to allow for the possibility of accessing the Unlimited Blade Works Route (which doesn't lead to Shirou creating a Geis with Rin and thus a Dead End) and it was the same with Heaven's Feel, you needed to trigger a flag from completing one Unlimited Blade Works Route in order to access an option to gain an extra affection point with Sakura in order to access the Heaven's Feel Route (all of this is based off Mirror Moon's Flowchart provided with the patch install), and ofcause -Last Episode- was only ever unlocked unless all 5 endings had been seen (needed a separate patch to add it though) however, from what i have seen, all 3 routes are separate games with separate .exe files, so i am wondering, does the Realta Nua PC Releases still have the route branch in the Fate Route

title: Ruby Weapon's Whirlsand--functions like eject?

text: I decided to ram the Highwind into Ruby Weapon to see how tough it was out of curiosity. After a few turns of me trying to attack it (and not knowing what I was doing), it used Whirlsand on Cloud, ejecting him out of battle...or so I thought. The next turn it had, it immediately attacked my two other party members, instantly killing them. And when they died, I got a Game Over. Isn't Whirlsand supposed to function like the Midgar Zolom's eject? Basically, if someone gets booted by either the Midgar Zolom/Ruby Weapon and it kills the other two remaining members, shouldn't the battle just end without a Game Over (essentially flagging them as alive, but not in the battle and prematurely ending the battle)?

text: For some projectiles, like the Flying Guillotine, or the Shortstop's Ball, etc., upon use these items will "recharge", with a bar indicator in the lower right hand corner of the hud. What I've noticed however, is that sometimes, when I'm near a dispenser, the speed in which the bar fills up goes slightly faster than normal. Items that have "recharge":   * Spycicle   * Shortstop (Ball)   * Flying Guillotine   * Chargin' Targe   * Splendid Screen   * Mad Milk   * Crit-a-Cola   * Bonk! Atomic Punch   * Jarate   * Mad Milk   * Dead Ringer   * Invisibility Watch Does the dispenser actually decrease the recharge time?
