title: Puzzle in Kingdom of the Dead - Darksiders 2

text: On my 1st and 2nd playthrough i'm stuck on this puzzle and i can't stop but imagine there's a room full of treasure chests on the other side. The puzzle is in the Kingdom of the Dead, starting on the right side when you cross the bridge when you come from the Tree of Death. When you follow the path with some wallruns etc. you come to this point: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OrBJg.jpg) I can use my deathgrip 3 times to make it to the beam in the middle but then my path is blocked by Corruption. I've tried to grab some of the bombs (even tried jumping down to get a bomb during my fall, but to no avail) to clear the path, but with no success...


title: Are any important NPCs doomed to die, or immune from death?

text: **WARNING** : Heavy usage of TVTropes links follows: * * * A compelling element in the Mass Effect series is that many significant NPCs have the potential to suffer Permadeath in battle, or at other key points in the game. Many of these cases are made especially poignant for the player because the fallen NPCs could otherwise have re-appeared in the next game, and/or they died because of decisions made by the player. In my first play-through of the series, I've had my share of player-influenced NPC deaths: > \- Ashley Williams   >  \- Kasumi Goto   >  \- Zaeed Massani   >  \- Mordin Solus While all of these characters are important contributors to the story in their own way, I was a bit grateful that they were not significant as some others. One was obviously a non-optional loss ( _someone_ had to die in that spot). The rest did not survive the first episode in which they appeared, and/or were relatively minor NPCs anyway. Still, the game does fairly well to establish for the player that Anyone Can Die. However, I'm coming along far enough into Mass Effect 3 that I'm starting to consider my second whole-series play-through. I'm thinking of having the second run be just a little bit more planned out than the first. To that end, I'd be interested to know if there are any important NPCs (i.e.: those who are available as squad members in any Mass Effect game) whose deaths are beyond the player's control? So, is there anyone who has immunity via Plot Armor or is doomed to Death By Plot? Or are all major NPCs, by the end of the Trilogy, equally likely to have survived or been killed based on some player-controllable factors? _(NOTE: I haven't gotten to the end just yet, so I may still be missing out on someDisney Deaths, or the possibility that Everyone Dies. Annotate spoilers appropriately, please.)_ _**In short: Which major characters' deaths or survival (if any) are not controllable or influenced by the player's decisions?_**


title: What is the maximum paragon level?

text: In the `Profile` window accessible in the hero selection screen under the `Heroes` tab, there is a progress bar that tells you what paragon level you have and gives you a 'percentage completed' indicator. ![example of total paragon progress bar](http://i.stack.imgur.com/MDURb.jpg) The example that I have provided indicates that paragon level 123 is approximately 4% of the way to completion (1/25th). Some simple math (123*25) will give an estimate completion around level 3000. Can anyone confirm whether or not that is the maximum paragon level? * * * Bonus points if you can provide some form of graph indicating the XP required per paragon level and what its upward trend looks like from level 0 through to 3000 (or whatever the cap may be).


title: How do I enable quickswitch?

text: For both CS and CS:OZ, I cannot find any options to enable fast weapon switch, also known as quickswitch. It's somewhat frustrating, as I hate switching to the other weapon then pressing the mouse. Is there a console command to enable quickswitch? I've tried looking for an Advanced setting, but the only option is to change weather effects.


title: Does the Civilization IV exe contain Beyond the Sword updates

text: I recently bought Civilization IV Complete on Gamersgate and installed it. After installation I got 3 start options. \- Civilization IV Complete \- Civilization IV Beyond The Sword \- Civilization IV Warlords My question is if I start the "Civilization IV Complete" exe does that contain the add functionality of BTW and Warlords, or is it Civilization IV Vanilla.


title: Can I kill the Spike Traps?

text: I know that in this game, one of the more common traps is the spike trap, which triggers a little time after your character walks on top of it (unless they have the P.A.D. trait). So, my question is, is it possible to destroy them, temporarily disable them (other than P.A.D.), or are they just invulnerable objects? I have heard that Retribution Runes can damage enemies upon taking damage from them. But, does this property also apply to the spike traps as well? Thanks for the assistance folks!


title: Alpha Centauri (GOG version) is using up nearly 100% cpu

text: SMAC is overheating my Win7 64-bit, Core Duo 2.0Ghz, 4GB RAM machine and when I check the Task Manager after playing a few minutes (nothing major happens in the game, I just build my base and move the scout around), I see the following: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/omfEF.png) How should I stop this from happening? Is there a patch that counter-acts this? Would a CPU throttler work? Or something else? I'm using the GOG version which is already supposed to be patched to the highest official version.


title: Queue as a healer in pre-cata instances as Shadow Priest

text: I recently rolled a Shadow Priest with a full set of heirlooms. The reason I went shadow is because it's simply easier to level with when soloing/questing in comparison to Discipline or Holy. Once I reach level 85 on this particular character, I'll be playing the role of a healer in Holy spec for the majority of the time. My question is the following: I'd really like to start healing earlier, preferably as soon as I can queue for instances. Can a Shadow Priest get by as a healer in pre-Cataclysm instances until I get dual talent specialisation? Will I be getting my group killed if I do that? Any advice would be appreciated.


title: What healing mod is being used in this world of warcraft video?

text: I've always played DPS in my time playing WoW. I recently rolled a holy priest and am interested in the HPS game. The add-on the healer in this video is using seems to be super efficient: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jD5gI.png) Image found in this video, containing a spoiler strategy for defeating Hagara in the Dragon Soul raid on heroic mode. If you do not want to have this spoiled for you, avoid watching the video. Can anyone vouch for what it is? Or give an answer for some AddOns I can download that are very popular with healing types, particularly priests?


title: How can I get past Chapter 3 - Lesson 4: Air Chains?

text: Embarrassingly enough, I'm rather stuck in the tutorial in _Skullgirls_ (Steam release). I'm having trouble in Chapter 3 - Lesson 4: Air Chains, specifically the last section, Putting It All Together III. This video shows someone pulling the launcher off successfully, but he does it really quickly and it doesn't really help me with figuring out the timing on my own. I can get through the first 8 moves fine, but I'm having a lot of trouble consistently going from the jumping Medium Kick to the airborne Hairball. After that, I need to cancel the Hairball into Gregor Samson. I'm fairly bad at canceling moves in general, so having to do it in the air is really difficult for me. While I was able to get through the earlier part of the lesson, I just can't seem to pull this off. Once I complete the mid-air kicks, I find it hard to consistently do a regular Hairball move, let alone cancel it into a Gregor Samson. I figured out that I'm apparently just not doing the Hairball fast enough after the kicks to have it count as one combo, but I'm having trouble making that transition smoothly. Cancelling a Hairball on the ground is difficult for me, as I haven't really gotten a feel for the timing, so trying to do it mid-air is even harder. How soon do I need to cancel after I do the attack? What can I do to improve my chances at actually pulling this off?

title: Function call yielded unexpected result

text: I've been experimenting with functions and upgrades, and it looks like this specific combination may not have been anticipated by the developers. As you can see, the second slot currently has **Switch()** function upgraded by **Spark()** and **Help()**. Function descriptions:               Switch() //   Active slot effect:              // Alter a target's allegiance, causing it to serve the User.          Switch() + Help()  //   Upgrade slot effect:                        //  Switch() will spawn a BadCell loyal to the User                        // at the Target's location.          Switch() + Spark() //   Upgrade slot effect:                        // Switch() will fan out multiple projectiles.      If we spawn a charged packet using **Load()** function and then hit it with our combo, we get BadCells spawned at every tick of the clock in all three directions. Is this an intended effect of this Function combination, or is it a bug? Step 1: Spawn a volatile packet. Step 2: Strike with our combo function.

title: Is there a save point before fighting Bonetail in the Pit of 100 Trials?

text: I've almost fully completed _Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door_ , with only the final optional boss fight with Bonetail to go. However, he is at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials, which means you have to slog through 99 battles in order to get to him (more or less, as randomly you are able to skip a few levels). Regardless, I am not eager to spend all the time getting to Bonetail, only to lose to him, which would force me to repeat the entire process. I've been down to level 50 of the Pit and have not found a single save box. Is there a save box right before the last level?


title: What's the deal with upward stairways in Dwarf Fortress?

text: So I'm really new to this game, so please bear with me. I got this message: `Digging designation canceled` so I went on the wiki and discovered this information: _The safest thing to do is back off several tiles, **mine up a z-level** then approach the location again._ And that's what I wanted to do but how can I mine-up a z-level without doing it from outside? Because I tried to build and upward stair with no luck so far. What am I doing wrong? On the wiki it's said: _Up stairs need to be built below down stairs. Up/down stairs function as both up and down stairs at once._ So I know they have to be build below down stairs but can I build the up stairs first and then the down stairs. If not how can I travel between Z-Level and the level above without going outside and mine a new entrance?

title: How do we defend against double 6 poolers in 2v2?

text: I play Zerg and my partner plays Protoss. Today we got double 6 pooled by a pair of zerg players. We scouted it, but we didn't quite know what to do. Obviously they came after me because the toss was walled in. **Normally I know the theory of fending off a 6 pool - use my workers to attack the lings until my own lings pop. (When I scouted the 6 pool i put down a 10 pool.) But when there are 12 enemy lings instead of 6, this doesn't work so well.** And my partner can't really help or effectively counter attack with his one or two zealots. (this was a map with a bit of distance between allies bases.) Am I supposed to just sacrifice myself, and hope that my partner can tech up and out econ the stilted economies of the 2 6 poolers? Or is there a way we can coordinate our defense such that we both survive?


title: What headgear reduces prices the most?

text: I've learned about Blackguard's Hood: _Prices are 25% better_.   * Fortify Barter, 25 pts and Masque of Clavicus Vile: _Prices are 20% better_ :   * Fortify Barter, 20 pts   * Fortify Persuasion, 10 pts   * Regenerate Magicka, 5% faster and despite the explicit number in Blackguard's Hood's description being higher than MoCV's, I'm skeptical that this proves that Blackguard's Hood reduces prices more than MoCV because the break-down of the hidden bonuses shows that MoCV gets more points overall. These two pieces of headgear show the greatest price reduction bonuses that I've seen so far. If there is another (combination of) headgear that reduces prices even more, I'd like to know. I own all DLC.


title: Do stats actually get raised by Gym Badges?

text: In Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon LeafGreen, you get badges for defeating Gym Leaders, just like in any other Pokemon game. However, upon receiving the badges, it sometimes tells you that a stat of all of your Pokemon has been raised. Supposedly, the **Boulder Badge** gives raises your Pokemon's **Attack** , the **Thunder Badge** raises your Pokemon's **Speed** , the **Soul Badge** raises your Pokemon's **Defense** , and the **Volcano Badge** raises your Pokemon's **Special Attack** and **Special Defense**. Additionally, according to Bulbapedia, the respective gyms in the Johto and Hoenn regions also give your Pokemon the same benefits (1st badge increases Attack, 3rd badge increases Speed, etc). However, I don't believe this is mentioned in-game. I'm curious as to if these badges actually do raise the stats of your Pokemon. If so, by what value?


title: Is there a Custom Map to practice defending against specific cheeses?

text: As a relatively new player (top of my bronze division) I have to deal with learning how to counter all the popular cheeses like 6 pool. My 2v2 partner has the same problem. When we're both online, we can practice by me doing a 6 pool to him. But wouldn't it be cool if he could just load up a custom map of some sort, and tell the AI to do a 6 pool? So, has someone done this already? Is it possible to tell the AI what build order to use when making a custom map? I would want it to simulate a 6 pool exactly. The end result would be something like the rush defense challenge that you can do in the single player mode, but with the exact mechanics of a 1v1 ladder game. Perhaps there would eventually be a library of cheese maps, and everyone would learn to defend against them, and maybe that would actually force some people to stop using them so much :)

And since we are on the topic, after that the 7 devils were trapped into it, Leah had to user her magic 24/7 to keep them in there... so how didn't the soulstone blow up during the entire years it was without surveillance in Kulle's lair?


title: Are the stun/etc chances normalized for weapon speed?

text: I've tried building a stun-proc oriented gear and spec, focusing a lot on attack speed and fast weapons. However, attack speed seems to not affect the effectiveness of this spec. My impression is that I proc stuns much less often when I equip a very fast weapon. Does anyone know if hit-effect-chances are normalized with regards to attack speed?


Episode seven of Remember Me has you fight your way through swarms of leapers inside Mnemopolis Tower until you reach a hall with the words `HOMINIS M3MORIZE EVOLUTIO` on the wall as per below; ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/z3GHR.jpg) It appears possible to interact with each of the individual letters visible in the screenshot so this is probably some kind of word puzzle. Captain Trace's remembrance is another riddle as follows: > May Memorize's error fall as mankind holds its head up high and evolution's > end looks down upon all that has gone before - only then will the secret be > unmasked. What is the solution to the riddle to access the Conception Cube?


title: Skyrim ENB with Climates of Tamriel weird coloring/contrast/sharpness

text: Not sure if anyone has been having this problem.. but, the colors seem a bit off. As if it was trying to render 3D. (Not quite, but it's the best way I could describe the weird coloring.) Things are a bit sharp, to the point where they look kind of pixelated around the edges.. It's not quite obvious in the photos, but you can see if especially around the candles. (Please open them in a new tab in full res to show better) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nF58nl.jpg) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sb2Vil.jpg) ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pCvWMl.jpg) Any way to fix this? It's giving me quite a headache when I use it..


title: What are the requirements for a province to show up as a viable cede option when negotiating peace?

text: I recently decided to wipe Morocco off the map in an effort to make Spain the best nation in the world (also I'm a huge jerk). Things went really well, and I finally managed to occupy all of the provinces owned by Morocco. I decided it was time to negotiate for peace, and would take as many provinces from Morocco as I could. I was able to get Morocco to cede me all of it's provinces except for two: Oran and Marrakech. Oran was just too expensive for me to take, but Marrakech didn't even show up in the list of provinces I could demand Morocco give me. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/0URH2.jpg) As you can see in the above image I do have Marrakech occupied, so it should be showing up in the list of cede provinces, but it isn't appearing. I can only assume there is something preventing me from demanding Marrackech as tribute, but I can't figure out what it is. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jIMEf.jpg) I hoped that the province page would give me some clue, but the only thing that makes Marrakech stand out compared to the other Morocco provinces is that it's an important center of trade, it has a Star Fort, and a garrison of 3000. None these things strike me as something that would prevent me from being able to demand the province though. What are the requirements for a a province to show up as a cede option, and what can prevent it from appearing?


title: Is there a Map Editor?

text: In a recent question that I saw in the **Animal Crossing: New Leaf** tag, someone answered, saying that there was a _map editor_. Is there such thing as a map editor in the game? If there is, where is it and how do I use it?


title: Latency issues in Team Fortress 2, but only after joining a game

text: I've just tried to play Team Fortress 2 for the first time for quite a while, and I am afraid I am plagued with a very annoying issue. When browsing for servers, I consistently see very good pings on the servers I previously used (~30ms). However, once I join an actual game I suddenly find myself with a ~800ms ping and everything becomes completely unplayable. Searching the web, I suspected it might be the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service, so I turned it off. Sadly, that was no help at all, so I also tried this suggestion (to turn off TCP Auto-Tuning) to no avail. I was once able to play TF2 just fine with my current network configuration, but with a different OS (I was on Windows XP, and recently installed Windows 7). My network card is a rather horrible Ralink Wireless card, which comes with its own configuration utility to set up network connections. Back when I was using XP, I would have similar issues unless I used the card's configuration utility instead of Windows XP's. While the configuration utility has a Windows 7 version, from reading some help files I tend to believe it hardly does anything other than provide an unnecessary coat of ugly paint over Windows 7's innate configuration. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful. In the event I break down and get another card (or punch holes in my walls for a wired connection), I'll be sure to update this with whatever effect such moves may have.


title: Does Sweeping Wind activate Resolve?

text: The monk passive Resolve states that "Damage you deal reduces enemy damage by 25% for 2.5 seconds." Does Sweeping Wind activate this effect? I've been taking Seize the Initiative over Resolve due to its 100% uptime, but since I have an 80% sweeping wind uptime, and it hits all the mobs around me, Resolve could really help out (except against very long ranged mobs).


title: Starcraft 2: Marine vs Marauder

text: According to the Team Liquid wiki: > Marauders are weak to marines. Let's think about this a little: Marauders do 10 damage to marines and have almost twice the cooldown... so in 'normal condition' or under stim-pack they do similar damage to each other. Marines have 45 HP (55 with upgrade) instead of 125 and costs 50 + 12.5 supply = 62.5 instead of 100 + 25 supply + 25 gas = 150. If we take mineral/gas cost into account, the amount of marines will be usually 2.5 bigger than marauders (X marauders against 2.5X marines), with approximately similar amount of HP to kill each group. The difference I see is concussive shells. ~~X marauders can constantly 'slow down' X marines, and slowed marines will do half as much damage. So 'actually', if we consider DPS we will have X marauders against 2X marines, which is significantly more~~ (turns out this information was wrong). Could you please clarify why Team Liquid consider marauders weak against marines?


title: Minecraft Server Issue

text: On a minecraft server, A player dropped an item that kicked my player out, and when ever I log back into this, It is very laggy and I can barely move and look around.

title: After I murdered/robbed people, how do I get rid of the bounty?

text: I thought it would be nice to steal some useful stuff from people. However, the whole town got angry for me doing so. Seems someone did spot me doing so, I survived the first people by walking back out of the town and had to murder three man where I used up all my potions. When entering the town again I entered a building but the immediate moment I enter the building an angry person also enters right behind me and is much stronger than me. I don't seem welcome in this town anymore... Here are my questions:   * What should I do to survive from him and get rid of the bounty?   * Can I run out of the town for a long distance so I lose aggro or bounty? Or will he keep following?


title: How to get rid of bounty in skyrim?

text: Me, being new to Skyrim, accidentally punched someone and received a bounty of 40. Then, I said "I would rather die than go to jail" to a guard, not knowing this would make everyone hate me and attack me. How can I fix this without resetting my game or anything like that?


title: How do I get rid of a bounty?

text: I am playing Skyrim Dragon-Born DLC on a PC. I have a bounty, but I can't hand myself in -- I just get attacked. It stated that I attacked somebody at a shrine by accident, but after that I didn't commit any crimes. It's weird how I get attacked instead of them talking to me. It seems like there is no way to get rid of the bounty. I have tried on many occasions to hand myself into a different place from where I originally committed the crime.

title: Ustengrav Depths gates: can my follower follow?

text: This earlier question discusses how to get through the three gates in Ustengrav Depths. Unfortunately my follower can't run as fast as me and is trapped behind the gates. According to a couple of sources, after I get through the gates they're supposed to remain open. They don't. My plan right now is to complete the quest then cycle back through the dungeon to retrieve my follower. But am I missing a trick here to keep the gates open? Are the sources wrong? Is my game just bugged? _Edit: this after getting through the end of the dungeon and looping back around to the upper level of Ustengrav, my follower ran up to meet me, so it wasn't a big inconvenience in the end. But experimenting, researching, and fretting about it until then was definitely an inconvenience (and an annoyance). I imagine it'll annoy others, so I'd still like an answer to this question if anyone has one._


title: When are kill skills triggered?

text: There are a lot of skills in the skill trees of the characters, that are stated as a "Kill Skill", like "I'm the Juggernaut" from Salvador. There is also stated that they are triggered by a kill ("Killing an enemy gives +4% Damage Reduction for a short time." on the "I'm the Juggernaut" skill). I'm now interested in when are they triggered on a coop-play. Does the kill from my mate also count to this skill or is it related just to my kills?


title: How to re-install Jetpack Joyride after uninstalling?

text: I recently uninstalled Jetpack Joyride as it would not open after the recent update (after remaining on the loading screen for several minutes it would cut back to my home screen without opening), assuming that I would be able to reinstall this app from the Google Play Android Apps store. When I go the the Free download Jetpack Joyride page on the Google Play store it has a button saying "Installed" and no option to reinstall. Does anyone know how to inform the Google Play app store that the app has been uninstalled? Can I reinstall the free app? If so, how? Or do I now need to buy it? Thanks.


title: What are effective roles for each class in Mann vs Machine?

text: Having played a few rounds of MvM with a Heavy, I decided to try out some of the other classes. Reading that Snipers can charge up the headshot and take out the bigger guys, I think - what the heck, I'll give it a try. Shortly after joining the server, I was... "politely", shall we say... informed that snipers were not useful. (I'll let everyone fill in the rest of the comment). What are the useful classes in MvM mode, and what should they be doing?


title: Cannot travel to DLC areas having purchased Season Pass

text: I just finished the main quest in Borderlands 2 and have the season pass downloaded. The DLC are added to the fast travel station, but there is a star by all of the names. For example, "*Unassuming Docks". Whenever I click on these it brings up an XBox screen saying I've already purchased this item and have downloaded it before, it then asks me to download it again. I'm not sure how to actually PLAY the DLC though. The searching I've done indicated it should work after I finish the main quest. I'm a level 30 mechromancer if it makes any difference.

title: Do Vikings in ground form benefit from air or ground attack upgrades?

text: When you land Vikings, do their attacks benefit from Vehicle Weapons or Ship Weapons upgrades?


title: Is the pinger really weaker at the back?

text: In the first Pinger battle, it's suggested that it has a weak point at the back, and you should concentrate your fire there. This is shown visually too, by the back parts being red, like other enemies' weak points. But when I attack later Pingers (in 'Soldier' difficulty), it seems that it takes 6 JAW hits to kill it, regardless of where I hit it. Is it just that I'm not managing to hit the right point? Does the weak point only make a difference at harder difficulties? Or perhaps the weak point only applies to bullet weapons, not the JAW? What's really going on? I'm struggling on my Pinger battles (especially in 'Power Out') because I spend ages trying to get around behind it, seemingly to no avail. I'm on PC, with the non-Steam version, if that makes a difference.


title: How can I keep my livestock from dying

text: Originally my farm (sheep and chickens) was at ground level with fences around it. I noticed that when logging into the game the animals would teleport themselves outside the fences. They don't seem to do it if you stay logged in for long periods of time but as soon as you go out and then back in there is potential for it to happen. In an attempt to fix this problem I dug the pen down two blocks deep ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/63kfY.png) This seems to keep them from freeing themselves but now they glitch into the wall and suffocate. At least this what I assume is happening, I've seen them go into the wall and turn a very dark almost black color before, but when I am watching it happen they always pop back out after a second or two. But I am definitely losing them (I used to have many more), and I just found some lime green wool on the ground when I returned back to the pen after spelunking for a while so I know the lime sheep died. My question is: What design can I use for my pen that will prevent my animals from escaping and keep them from dying randomly as well.


title: Do companions die?

text: It is apparently possible to recruit companions who will fight by your side, carry out simple tasks, and so forth. I have managed to acquire one in the very first village, but have thus far not had him travel with me because I don't know how sturdy he'll be in combat. Do companions die permanently, like most NPCs? Or do they become incapacitated/unconscious like vital questgivers? Die but can be picked up again from their original location later?


title: HDTV settings for videogaming

text: I just purchased a 55-inch HDTV [VIZIO VF551XVT]. For some reason, when I play the ps3 my TV bothers my eyes. This doesn't happen when I watch the TVs at the store, even if I am really close (normally they are playing movies). So I am not sure if it really is the size of the TV the problem [I am sitting about 2.5 meters away]. could anyone recommend me the settings for my TV when using the PS3?

title: Is "ESO unraveled" available in text form?

text: ESO Unraveled is a nice source of videos where Mystborn tries to find out the mechanics of ESO by numbers. As these videos contain much information in language and Mystborn tends to digress, I am looking for those information about ESO in text form, where I can read it word for word to also be sure that I haven't misunderstood something. I found these videos introduced at Tamriel Foundry, but they only show a conclusion for one video, not the content. I'm not looking exactly for ESO Unraveled in text form (however that would be awesome), but just these kind of information. **Is there anything like ESO Unraveled available in text form?**


title: Netherhorses, are they viable?

text: I guess this question would exist of two sub-questions. I'm currently unable to test this myself so i figured someone else probably already has or is willing to try this. I was wondering since mobs can teleport through the nether-portal (since a few updates back) if it was possible to get your horse to follow you to this place of horror and disaster. And if the answer to that question is "yes" then i would also like to know if horses are affected by any slowing effects. In this example in particular i meant soul-sand but i guess this would also count as potions etc.

text: Are there any tangible, genuine downsides to ignoring your "friends" in GTA 4? I found the whole friend/girlfriend system to be somewhat annoying and detracting from the game itself, and if I decide to go through it again, I'd like to just bypass all of that. (Well, aside from the critical girlfriend in the beginning of the game, and just enough with Jacob to get the gun delivery service.)

title: How to properly use the Umgah Drone?

text: The Umgah Drone is probably my worst ship in Star Control melee. I know that in general I'm supposed to zip back close to the enemy ship while constantly shooting - attempting to damage it while passing - but the combination of slow turning speed and extremely fast zipping speed always makes me miss. Not to mention I generally try to be with my face to the enemy ship - in order to block shots with my cone - and this means I'm not in the correct position to zip past them. I've tried relying on the movement backward to dodge shots, instead of relying on the cone to destroy them; but that really puts me in a passive position where all I do is defend and not attack. Does anyone have useful tips for efficiently using the drone?


title: Are there differences between the Wii U and PS3 versions of Lego Marvel Superheroes?

text: I'm trying to decide what system to buy Lego Marvel Superheroes for, Wii U or PS3. Are there differences between the two versions, such as Wii U Gamepad functionality, platform-exclusive characters or significantly better/worse graphics on either system?


title: How can I change the FOV in a persistent way when playing Source Engine games?

title: Do incapacitated soldiers with bleeding wounds need any extra care?

text: In my ground squad's latest outing, I lost a trooper to a shot that left her with 1 hitpoint - and a bleeding wound, which incapacitated her at the beginning of my next turn. I know that the more HP dealt to the soldier over their maximum, the more likely they are to die. But does bleeding factor in here? Do hitpoints continue dropping further into the negatives after the trooper is downed? And can a medikit even be used to heal an incapacitated squaddie?


title: When is the earliest Nunu can solo Dragon or duo Baron?

text: If you're looking to just build Nunu for early objective sneaking/control. What are the items and skill levels needed to solo dragon or duo baron with an adc(this assumes no enemy team involvement of course), without any aggro handoffs. This question stems from a statement made by Jatt in a Curse game in the final superweek of summer split(forget which in particular). The team was falling behind and instead of contesting dragon, Jatt recommended sneaking baron because they had a Nunu. Also showed up every once in awhile in OGN. I changed the question to duo baron, but in reality for a Nunu to tank baron solo or in a group of 5 there are still minimum item/level requirements. I'm looking for something like:   * You should have items x,y,z(assuming normal item build paths, nothing crazy)   * With at least 3 points in consume   * And be level 11 with dragon(or baron) being under level x I want to know key level/item signs(a checklist perhaps) to look for/tell me I can go for certain objectives on Nunu.


title: Does fuel feeding make sense?

text: Imagein a rocket with a central fuel/engine stack and four fuel/engine stacks of the same size and type attached with radial decouplers. Here are two scenarios: Scenario 1 - The outer four fire together as your first stage. Then they are decoupled and the center one fires as your second stage. Scenario 2 - The outer four and center one all fire together as your first stage. Fuel ducts are used to feed fuel into the center tank so that when the outer tanks are empty, you can decouple them and continue with just the center engine having full fuel. That is the second stage. In both cases the second stage consists of one engine and a full tank of fuel. But the first stage is what I'm interested in. Everyone seems to think scenario 2 is the way to do it. But I was thinking about the math and I came up with this: scenario 2 gives you more thrust, but for less time. So you get 5/4 as much thrust, but since the four outer tanks are fueling all five engines your first stage lasts 4/5 as long. So how far does that get you? The distance should be acceleration times time squared. So 5/4 * 4/5 * 4/5, which seems to end up being only 4/5 as far as scenario 1. Is that right or am I missing somthing? Do you actually get farther with the scenario 1 setup? I can't get to KSP right now to test this experimentally. I'd like to understand the math behind fuel ducting.


title: How does the accuracy (or "chance to hit") work in Diablo 2?

text: This percentage shows how accurate your character is. Say I use an Amazon and reaches 100% accuracy, then I believe it hits all the arrows. But after I saw that I'm getting more percentage than 100%... I need an explanation about the logic behind that in **Diablo 2**.

title: Where does MSI Afterburner store mic audio?

text: I recorded some gameplay with MSI afterburner, and I got the video clip, and game audio, but no mic audio. I purposefully unchecked the feature that mixes in mic audio as it mutes the game audio and just sounds bad whenever I talk. I planned to add in the mic audio later in After Effects, but alas I can't even find the file. I expected it to be with the video clip, but nope. And it can't be a push to talk issue, as both push to record buttons for mic and game audio are set to none, and the game audio still came through. Any ideas?

I don't need to be able to access items in the container while it is in my inventory (forcing a multi-level menu instead of the current two-level). This would facilitate handing stuff over to my follower and taking it back :)

text: When destroying buildings 1) You get more energy which could be used for healing/bombs 2) If it was a defensive building it stops hurting you. Other than that, is there a reason (mainly loot) that one would want to destroy all the buildings in the map? Is the answer the same for PVE and PVP? Most of the PVE "puzzles" seem stupidly simple if there isn't a reason to destroy the buildings, you can ignore 90% of the layout.

text: I always seem to have trouble against Zerg as Terran, but ESPECIALLY if there are a mass of early Mutas harrasing me. I know Marines are great against them but that's not good enough, because they aren't as mobile as the Mutas and unless that's their only unit I can't really just rely on the amount of Marines it would take as I need to build other units. However Vikings I've realized pretty much suck against Mutas as far as I can tell. I heard Thors are good but that's not reasonable for early game. Anyone?

I'm pretty sure online co-op exists, but is there couch co-op where multiple people play on the same system? Is there system link co-op where you can connect with other people on the same network outside of Xbox Live? Additionally, if there are multiple ways to engage in co-op play, do the types of co-op play available vary depend on which method is utilized? ie. Campaign co-op is only available through xbox live, but you can run around with a friend blowing stuff up in couch co-op.


title: My two kids won't move to my new house

text: I am playing Skyrim. My two kids won't move to my new house in Riften. Before, the game gave me the option to tell them that it was time to move, but as soon as I bought the house it doesn't have that option anymore...?


title: Why is my world anchor resetting?

text: We just started up a new tekkit server after the last one got corrupted in a power outage and the backup was too old. But it's exhibiting some odd behavior, particularly in regards to world anchors. They are working fine ... most of the time. But if the server shuts down, they stop working until we actually go to the location of the anchor and then it starts working again. It's not a big deal usually, but it seems to be causing some issues with my quarries where I'm getting big piles of cobblestone and dirt, which grows the longer I take to get to the area and "refresh" it and get them going into the pipes again. Does anybody know what's causing this behavior, and more importantly, a fix?


title: Port Forwarding a Minecraft Server with Netgear Genie

text: I have already made a Minecraft server of my own but it runs on Hamachi and my friends can connect to my network but can't connect to the server I made! I want to be able to set up a server that can be connected to without any programs like Hamachi though. I know how to do this but I get stuck on the part where you have to add a port for your server on your router's website. I can't find the section where I add ports! By the way my router's website is Netgear Genie. Can anyone help me find this section?


title: Do I need to keep more than one of each dragon type?

text: My plan right now is to keep one of each type of dragon I get. So far it seems to work out, and gives me a good base of dragons to draw from for breeding purposes. If I end up with a dragon I already have, I usually sell it, as I don't particularly see a reason to keep more than one of each kind of dragon. Is there any benefit to keeping multiples of dragons around?


title: How do you sneak up on someone in Hitman 2?

text: I understand the the **L1** button is the "sneak button" and that you sneak up behind them extremely slow, but I can't seem to pull off the sneak attack without alerting them first, even in the very first mission. When I try to sneak up behind the first guy (using **L1** ) that comes out of the door (urinating next to the tree), I try to use the anesthetics and right before I get into range to attack him he starts turning around and my alert box starts flashing red, even though I complete the attack successfully in the end. I suppose that one doesn't matter as much since there's no one around, but I assume if I did it correctly the alert box wouldn't flash. However, when I try to sneak up behind The Don (again, using **L1** ) with my Fiber Wire, he always turns around and becomes alerted before I can actually strangle him, then after I strangle him his guards barge into the room. What am I doing wrong with my sneak attacks? They don't seem to be very sneaky if they can get an alert off before you actually get to them... I've tried doing this several times and he is consistently alerted each time. I'm supposedly able to do this without alerting either of them, but I'm obviously missing something.

title: Is a full pacifist run possible?

text: I've beaten the game today with no enemies killed and not detected bonuses on each level except the last two. It looks like no matter what I do, I indirectly kill a few stalkers in two sections: In one section pulling a lever to open a door you need to progress also activates dart traps behind two stalkers overlooking said lever, killing them. In another, stalkers seem to blunder into a spike trap even if I don't interact with the trap, or the stalkers themselves, in any way. Did I get something wrong, does this make a complete pacifist run of the game impossible, or do I simply have to go out of my way to save those stalkers? I forgot to take the screenshots of the sections I mean, unfortunately, but I can try to come back to get them.

title: Does the location of Great Works matter?

text: You can move your great works around in the culture overview screen, but is there any benefit? Does the number of works in a city matter? Is there some kind of exponential bonus? Does it matter if it is closer to foreign boarders, as in the tourists don't have to travel as far to be influenced? I can understand that if a city is under attack it is nice that you can get all your stuff out of there before it is taken over. Is that the only tangible benefit?


title: N64 Transfer Pak

title: How should I use Merchants of Venice?

text: When playing as Venice you can't build settlers, instead you can puppet city states for free using a Merchant of Venice. How can I most effectively use these merchants? Should I send them out to puppet city states ASAP or should I hold them in reserve to capture city states at opportune moments? (e.g. when another player has invested a lot of cash to ally with another city state) Should I aim to puppet all of the city states close to me (so that those city states are easy to defend), or should I go for city states spread out across the world in order to maximize the size of my empire / trade network?


title: What unlocks the ability to build a workshop?

text: I've been playing on Classic and one thing I've found is that I need to get a jump start on Satellite Uplinks so that I can keep the panic level under control. However, to build them, I need 10 engineers, and I only start with 6. I can't always afford to take the first abduction mission that offers +4 engineers, because often there are high-panic countries that I need to head to instead. I've noticed that eventually the workshop unlocks and I can build it to get the engineers I need, but I don't know exactly what triggers it. I'd like to know, because if it's something I can control, it means I can get Satellite Uplinks going more quickly.


title: What does the full research tree look like?

text: I find myself constantly wishing I had some idea what the research tree looked like. For example, if I want to unlock plasma weapons, do I have to go down the laser weapon path first to unlock it, or am I going in completely in the wrong direction?If I want to get a satellite nexus, what do I need for it? How do I get this stealth armor I've heard about? I have so many questions like this, and some sort of research tree with related manufacturing items would be of immense help.


title: What is an "X-Ray"?

text: The soldiers are always going on about x-rays, but I have no idea what they're talking about. What is an x-ray? A lot of times, they'll mention x-rays when I kill an alien, but I think I've heard them say it otherwise. I get the feeling that it might just mean "alien". Why would they call it that?


title: What are the percentages above the alien icon?

text: When a unit sees an alien, an alien icon appears on the bottom right corner of the screen. When the mother hovers over it a percentage appears. The percentage is sometimes different from the chance to hit (like in the picture). What does that percentage represents? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dXgib.jpg)

title: Can you manually change your health as a disguised spy?

text: I just got the Dead Ringer, and one of its effects is that you cannot cloak on demand. What I like to do to get behind enemy lines and start backstabbing my way forward is to run screaming medic, in an effort to justify my returning from the other team side. I know that you can toggle which weapon your disguise is holding (by pressing `B`), so I was wondering if you could also lower your health in some fashion as to make this tactic seem more believable (screaming for medic when you're at full health is not)

title: What is the purpose of Prestige Armor?

text: So, I played Guild wars back in vanilla, or I guess Prophecies as it's called now. I've been trolling through the wiki's, to see my "goals" to catch up on and I see giant lists, such as:   * Ancient Armor   * Asuran Armor   * Deldrimor    * Elite Canthan   * Elite Judge   * Elite Woven ...the list goes on and on. My question though, is if all the armor has a rating of 60... What's the point of the armor? Is it purely cosmetic? Do people seriously spend oodles of time farming millions of gold worth of materials... just to have them mean nothing stat wise? What's the difference between all these fancy armors, and my 1.5K Drok's armor?


title: How do you time Portal speed runs?

text: Now that I finished the game I wanted to start training for a speed run but I'm not sure how I can time it. Is there a built-in function I have to activate? Is it just timed "manually"? If yes do the cutscenes count or not? How can you time it so precisely, for example this guy (for portal 1 though) has it down to the millisecond.


title: Not invisible to giants or mammoths in Skyrim

text: I attacked a mammoth, then started running away, then cast muffle, then cast invisibility. Both the mammoth and the giant chased me wherever I went and the mammoth killed me. I had the same result with an invisibility potion instead of the spell. Why? Can I become undetectable to them?


title: What is the Knights' weakspot?

text: I am playing through the DLC: _Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep_. After a bit of playing, I came across an enemy known as a Knight. I can't seem to be able to find its weak spot. Are there any tactics that are useful when taking them on? If possible, can you provide a video that shows the process?


title: What constitutes as a perfect victory?

text: While playing divekick yesterday, I was occasionally treated to a "Perfect" prompt upon besting my opponent. Is there some criteria for achieving a perfect victory, or is this merely a randomly dispensed gag, considering how you always win with full health?


title: Is it better to trade for influence or money?

text: In the game Galactic Civilizations 2: Ultimate Edition, you can trade for technology with other races. Often if it is a favourable deal they will pay either x credits of money or x influence points as part of the deal. Is it better to take the money or the influence? Follow on question - does influence traded in this way benefit your ongoing profit from tourism?


title: Is there any reason to resteal larceny targets?

text: After retrieving larceny targets like the jeweled candlestick on missions for the Thieves Guild, they appear on a bookshelf in the Ragged Flagon. I'm wondering if you're meant to steal them again after you've sold them to Delvin.


title: How can I upgrade my Police Station to a Precinct without releasing all the criminals in jail?

text: Moving from a Fire Station to a Large Fire Station (i.e. closing the small one, building the large one, and deleting the small one once the large one is fully operational) is relatively painless. Moving from a Clinic to a Hospital kicks all the sick guys onto the street and does I don't know what to the injured guys, but it generally doesn't cause much of a noticable problem. Moving from a Police Station to a Police Precinct releases all the jailed criminals onto the streets, which makes things hairy for several days. There must a better way of doing this than to just turn the old building off and let the baddies loose. Similar to how one can let a Trade Port/Depot sell all its stuff before demolishing it, can one have a station stop arresting criminals but still keep them and rehabilitate them? I tried reducing the number of cars but it looked like it was going to take an extremely long time since you can't reduce the number of cars to zero (so new guys would keep coming in).


title: How can I recover my deleted Minecraft bin folder and minecraft.jar?

title: Under what conditions might gold be flagged as stolen

text: Let's settle this once and for all. I personally have witnessed my gold (or, at least, some of it) being marked as stolen in my inventory in the past. I've seen several comments around here from people who claim the same. Though none of us can yet explain it, I believe there's no longer any point in arguing that it does happen. Also, if you'll pardon the quality, I do have an image to share of one of my current characters' gold in the inventory screen. I still don't know how this happened, but this does demonstrate that at least some of her gold is in fact marked Stolen. This was taken with my camera-phone. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3ruDE.jpg) However, some people still claim that gold cannot be flagged as stolen property. They even cite the venerable UESP as a source for this: _"Gold is considered completely fungible in-game, and **will never be marked stolen** , or confiscated if you are apprehended by the guard."_ So, I'd like us to settle this here now. For anyone with the time and will to play-test this, please document your findings here. I'm going to post mine below. I've not been able to reproduce the phenomenon so far, but I'm not inclined to give up because I _know_ it can happen. Good luck. P.S.: If anyone's got a clue as to what may be causing this, but has not play- tested it yet, please feel free to mention your ideas in comments. P.P.S: For the record, after I decided to take a break from play-testing this, I loaded up one of my other characters to play for awhile and found that she _currently_ has some stolen gold on her. How much of the gold is actually marked stolen, I'm not inclined to figure out right now. Dropping small bits from a stack of more than 100,000 isn't exactly a user-friendly process on the PS3. P.P.P.S: Since the comment-discussions here have gotten a bit long I've created a Skyrim Play-Testing chat room, where we can continue working on this issue without further bloating this thread. If you do participate there, please make sure that any details which may be relevant to future readers of this thread get posted to the Q&A or comments here.


title: Can stolen items be used to complete fetch quests?

text: For the side quest "Building Bridges" in Gorhart you are tasked with fetching a Greater Healing Potion and returning it to Aery the Fae. I stole the potion from the alchemy shop. I was caught stealing and the potion is now designated as stolen. When I speak to Aery the Fae, there is no option to complete the quest. So, can stolen items be used to complete fetch-type quests (or any quests for that matter)?

title: Why am I seeing serious Wiimote latency on Donkey Kong Country Returns?

text: I am rewriting this question from scratch because I feel that I need to be clear and concise. When I play Donkey Kong Country Returns on my Wii, I experience controller lag during the gameplay. There seems to be a very consistent .1 to .2 second delay between when I press the 'jump' button on the controller and when Donkey Kong jumps. I don't know what is causing this. The controls seem to be much more responsive in navigating the on-screen menus, but perhaps it's just perception. I really wanted to enjoy this game, but every time I've tried to play, I get so irritated with the controls. I just listed it for sale on eBay. However, I imagine that perhaps Nintendo thought that a small amount of lag wouldn't be noticed by most players. Can anyone tell me if this controller lag is just part of the game, or is there something wrong with the way my Wii is set up?


title: Are there alternate ways of opening the console in Oblivion

text: I recently began playing Oblivion again, after a long hiatus. I'm doing so on my MacBook Pro, in a Parallels Windows Server 2008 VM (6 GB of RAM). The MacBook itself is the late 2011 17" Pro model, upgraded to 16 GB of RAM. Everything in Oblivion, including the mods I've installed, works great -- except that I cannot bring up the console. The tilde (`~`) key is nonfunctional. That said, so far Oblivion is the only program on the Windows side to not recognize it. In Notepad, Visual Studio, Wordpad, etc., it works. Just Oblivion. (Admittedly, Oblivion is the only _game_ I have on the Windows side here.) Is there some way to open the console without the tilde, or failing that rebind the "open console" command via a configuration file, or failing that at least use a config file to display fps? (Which is actually the only reason I want the console right now.) * * * Total aside: The obvious answer to most of us would be to run Oblivion (and Windows in general) in Boot Camp. Not an option. Long story. * * * **Update:** I should have mentioned two things: 1) bAllowConsole is 1 and 2) I have no idea where to find the § symbol that everyone says is a workaround. (I have a US keyboard layout; that symbol is not on the face of any of my keys.) And again, the tilde works in every Windows app, just not -- I'm guessing -- games.


title: How can I get the server time in Minecraft?

text: Is there a plugin to tell what time it is in my SMP server (time in game) without changing the time? I'm hoping for a plugin, and not a mod like Single Player Commands that I have to compile into the server .jar. My other idea is to parse the logs for the last time someone used /time and figure it out from there.


title: What can I do to minimize my save game size?

text: Anyone who's played Skyrim for some time by now probably knows that some unpleasant things can happen when your game saves start to become too large. One solution I've heard of is to wait for about a month, so that old dungeons clear out of the save data. Aside from this, is there anything else that can be done to reduce the save size? For example, if I reduce my inventory or the contents of my houses, would that help?

title: If a spell that is junctioned is used, when does the stat become affected

text: in Final Fantasy VIII some of the more useful spells have the best boosts/effects when junctioned, however in battle where you would want to use certain heal/positive stat spells or in the Adel battle where using GF's is a bad idea thus kinda forcing you to use Magic you can still use these spells so i am wondering, when a spell that is junctioned is used, when does the stats become affected, is it during the battle or after, i'm not just talking about base stats but also resistances (ie. using Protect/Shell/Reflect to boost multiple elemental/status resistances)

I use sharks as food and can also bring prayer potions.


title: Using Command blocks to track a specific player's player kills

text: I'm trying to get Command blocks to track **ONLY** One player's kills, specifically player kills. So i have used: (~ =redstone Repeater)               /scoreboard objectives add Kills stat.playerKills     ~     /testfor EpicMinecartz [score_Kills=2,score_Test_Kills=1]     ~     /scoreboard objectives remove Kills     ~     /scoreboard objectives add Kills stat.playerKills      So, all this is fine but the first command block pulls up an error upon activation: `[11:08:02] /testfor <player>` So, my question is : In 1.7.9 Is there a way to track one player's kills not using @p or @a or @r to track basically everybody?


title: Can I get the last word of Slow Time without joining the Stormcloaks?

text: I'm working on getting all words of power to every shout and right now I have but Slow Time and Dismay to complete. I've done some research and I was wondering, is joining Stormcloaks _requisite_ for getting the last word of power? I really prefer to remain neutral in the war but I also wish to complete my words collection. This community has never let me down before, so I hope it won't now. I appreciate anything helpful.


title: Can I be bankrupted by an ill-timed import?

text: Say I have $30,000. One delivery of metal costs $21,000; one delivery of alloy costs $42,000. I am importing metal and alloy to create and export processors for about $100,000. (Exact numbers not important, but relative values are.) As it turned out, a metal truck came in first before I sold a batch of processors off recycled materials. But if an alloy truck had come in first, would I have been bankrupted?


title: Does the laser sight have any advantages?

text: Because of the fact that the laser sight seems to remove the reticle without actually providing a dot, only a beam, my experience with it was limited to shooting rats in Venice. Does the laser sight have any effect other than replacing the reticle with an (arguably inferior) laser beam, like reduced hip-fire spread? Will the laser give my position away to enemies? Can I disable it somehow without removing it?

title: How do filters and gas masks work?

text: I'm a little puzzled by how filters work - in Metro 2033, you had a number of filters, and when the old one ran out you had to replace it. In Metro Last Light, you have a total filter capacity expressed in minutes, and it gets incremented by some number when you pick up a filter. Are my filters magically consolidated like ammo from half-full clips I reload, so I can change a filter every minute without wasting filter capacity? What happens to my current filter when I pick up a new gas mask? When **can** I pick up a new gas mask? How much filter capacity does a single filter contribute (One would assume it's 5 minutes, but my filter capacity always hovers at around 30 minutes, which leads me to believe there are diminishing returns per filter as your filter capacity increases)? Should I ever find myself wanting for filter capacity, is there a way for me to make a filter last longer?


title: /summon ItemFrame relatively

text: I was trying to make some sort of color display in Minecraft. I decided it might be nice to use colored armor in `ItemFrame`s as the pixels. I have this working command:               /summon ItemFrame ~ ~ ~1 {Direction:0,TileX:362,TileY:56,TileZ:-653,Item:{id:minecraft:leather_chestplate,tag:{display:{color:255}}}}      It places an ItemFrame on the Command block (at `362,56,-653`) on the `+Z` side with a blue chestplate in it. I would like to be able to have lots of pixels for the display, but the data tag can't handle something like `{Direction:0,TileX:~,TileY:~,TileZ:~,...`. I was wondering if there was some way of making the display either have a relatively-positioned data tag or summon one frame and `/tp` it to the right location. If this isn't possible without mods, what kind of display would have the second-most color options (other than `setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:wool [color]`) in vanilla Minecraft?

title: Cleaning a Razer Lachesis mouse

text: (I hope this is on topic, the help said that questions regarding gaming related hardware were OK) I have owned the old style (4kdps) Razer Lachesis mouse for several years but have never worked out how to clean the top surface, it has been survivable for a while now but the top of the mouse has began to become caked in dust. I have tried rubbing it with cloths, cotton swabs and tissue, damp with water, alcohol and even dry, I have tried dusting it and even blowing highly pressurized air over it but cannot find any way that succeeds in cleaning the rubbery top surface. Dust seems to kind of stick to it and become very hard to remove. I find either that with softer cloths and tissue that instead of picking up dirt, fibres of the cloth of tissue just stick to the surface, this is even worse when damp. Or if I use hard cloths they just scratch the soft rubbery surface but do not actually clean it. Has anyone had success cleaning this mouse as it is really annoying having my hand covered in dust every time I use my mouse?


title: How do I see what quest I haven't completed yet?

text: I can't get the reset quests button to show up on my wizard, which means there is a quest I haven't completed yet. However, when I go to game settings, it allows me to choose every quest in every act which kind of implies I've done them all. The only resource I can find is the Quest Aggregator, which says I haven't killed Belial yet, but I have, many times. However the quest reset button just isn't there. What am I missing? How do I see which quest is still marked as incomplete?

title: Game unresponsive

text: Normally, I'd say the process stopped or something and just revert from a previous save, but this error is a little different. The cursor isn't frozen and sound is still playing. The interface responds to a point, but it refuses to advance. There are still sound responses when I try to interact with the interface (beeps when I click to reload) and tooltips still appear when I hover over an icon. Camera rotation still works as well. However, gameplay does not advance and it's stuck on my last soldier's turn. This is also not a one-time occurence, I have encountered this error in the past. However, I'm not sure how to reproduce it, although based on the last event, it happened when I uncovered an enemy on my turn. NOTE (2013/03/22 5:14 CST): Happened again, although this time was with trying to get a soldier into Overwatch.


title: Is there a "formula" for good street layout?

text: I find that my villagers will become "sad" if they do not have certain types of buildings within a certain distance from their house. I normally react to this by just putting a cheap building of the type they are looking for nearby - but I think this is really inefficient. Is their a boilerplate layout I can use which will meet the needs of all villagers?


title: How can I merge multiple maps?

text: I am working on setting up a Survival Games/Hunger Games-type server for a group of friends. I have created a spawn area in an otherwise empty map and would like to import a number of arenas into the map. Some are quite small and I can use MCEdit to export the area from it's own map and then import it into the main map. There are a number of arenas, however, that crash MCEdit when I try to import them as they are so large (i.e Varadie's Survival Games maps). The plugin I am wanting to use needs all arenas to be in the same map. I've also tried using WorldEdit to import schematics but that fails as well, probably due to the large selection area and the server running out of memory. Are there any other map editors/mergers out there?

Problem is I drop my connection semi-frequently (very annoying when watching NetFlix or playing an online game.) I'm not sure what causes the issue but I'm wondering if a WiFi amplifier would help, so my questions:   1. Is a WiFi amplifier a fair bet solution? Do they work?   2. What's a good, affordable one?


title: How does Boss-Loot in Elder scrolls online work?

text: In other MMOs like WoW or SWTOR you usually have like 3-20 Items that can only be dropped by a certain boss. How does this work in ESO? Do the bosses of every instance have a Loottable aswell or do they just randomly drop some soulstones and a random green/blue Item?. Also how are the dropchances? In WoW for example a Green/Blue+ drop is guaranteed if you kill a boss. In ESO I've killed a lot of bosses and I haven't got too many "good" Items from it.


title: DA2: Cross class combo

text: I see this mentioned in the tip text lots, but I've no idea how to actually make it happen. Anyone have any ideas how I can combo skills properly? I've tried running with Fenris, who can stagger, but when I backstab or anything similar, nothing happens.


title: Why don't health bonus items seem to work?

text: In Kingdoms of Amalur, Reckoning, I have a level 4 character with 69 max health. When I equip a ring that gives me "+5 Health" the health number doesn't seem to change at all. Is this a bug?


title: How useful are watchtower upgrades in Die2Nite

text: I've just completed my third town (18, 14 & 3 days, respectively) and in all three towns we never once upgraded the watchtower. From reading the descriptions it sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if you're in a town with a lot of expeditions or scavengers. Has anyone seen this to be the case? If not, what has your experience with it been? Obviously Defense is King in Die2nite, but I've found well organized expeditions greatly increase the amount of resources a town is able to provide, as well as the number of defensive items it is able to find, thus directly increasing the amount of defense a town can produce. **Edit:** I should also clarify I'm interested in upgrade levels 4 & 5: Allowing citizens 1 & 2 km away from town to return for free. Benefits I see:   * You can now plan 19 & 20 AP Loops   * Builders can auto-search outside of town for logs/scraps for 1 & 2 AP (as opposed to 2 & 4 ap)   * You can run 11 & 12 AP loops without getting thirsty.


title: What do the icons on the Historia Crux represent?

text: Under each location, there are these little symbols that look kind of like stylized flames. They seem to be lighting up as I proceed through the areas but I can't figure out any 1:1 relation for them, and the manual and Datalog are useless here. What are these actually for?


title: Is it possible to kill Vlad?

text: Is it possible to kill Vlad? I've tried many powerful beam spells and charged shots but he regenerates too quickly. > This question specifically is in reference to whether Vlad can be killed > _before_ the fight in chapter 9. If it can't be done solo, can it be done with 4 players?


title: Global Agenda Quest Lines

text: I recently picked up Global Agenda in a Steam sale. I was going along enjoying the quest line with some friends when suddenly the quest line just drops off the face of the desert. Am I missing something? I mean, I have no problem just doing the pvp / pve missions the rest of the time, but it's just odd being dropped like a hot tamale at level 17 out of what seems to be a potential 50. Edit: The quests completed is "Beyond Life and Death", followed by "Cured!". Though, after reading Raven Dreamer's comment, I've gotten the feeling that it's the (current) end of the line.


title: how are movement speed modifies applied?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How are all diminishing returns calculated in League of Legends? Stuff like which slows stack and how do they stack. Also do slows get applied before or after buffs cause it would make whichever is applied after better. Movement speed is a very core part of the game and how everything gets applied can be very confusing to figure out how to use all your utility the most effective way possible.


title: How does attack speed stack? Is there a point of diminishing returns?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How are all diminishing returns calculated in League of Legends? I was wondering how attack speed stacked. For instance, if I get two Phantom Dancers (each giving 55% attack speed), what would be the total buff to my attack speed? Is there a point of diminishing returns, where stacking more attack speed doesn't matter?


title: What are the maximum allowed stats?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How are all diminishing returns calculated in League of Legends? I know that Cooldown Reduction is capped at **40%** , and Attack Speed at 2.5 (i.e. **+150%** to cap?). What are the various caps for all the equipment properties (life steal, armor, +%damage etc.), and which of these are limited to just a single source? (e.g. Rabadon's Deathcap gives +%AP, I'm not aware of any other item with this property).


title: Do I have to water Wheat?

text: Wheat seems similar to grass in that you use a sickle to cut it, and it has an _absurdly_ long grow time, so I was wondering; does wheat grow without water, like grass, or will I have to water it daily like all other plants?


title: Strategies for obtaining weapon/character/equipment upgrades in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Are Spectre or Veteran packs more cost effective? So in the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer you start with a pretty limited selection of character classes, equipment and weapons. By playing games you earn credits which you can then spend on equipment packs in the store which contain a random selection of consumables, weapons, characters and equipment with various likelihoods of obtaining each. Different packs contain different numbers of items and guarantee different numbers of uncommon/rare items. So what I'm wondering is whether the best way to obtain new items is to buy lots of the cheaper packs or to save up and buy the higher tier packs i.e. favor quality over quantity. Btw this question has a good discussion on rarity of items but was more asking about obtaining a specific item. I'm less interested in a specific item more in how best to unlock as many items as possible. Does anyone who's been playing the multiplayer for some time have a good strategy for this or is it mostly luck whether your choice of purchase gives you something you actually want?


title: Is there any way to calculate or estimate DPS?

text: Coming back to the game after a long time, I see the damage range of weapons, and the fact that they have different attack speeds. Based on my experience with other games, it is easier for me to compare how good weapons are based on damage per second (DPS). Some simple assumption, like that I have 100% hit rate is fine with me if that makes it easier. After looking around a little I can't find an easy way to compare damage/speed between multiple weapons.
