title: Any tips for the Insane AI co-op matches with AI allies?

text: This other question has several good tips for how to get the Insane FFA achievement. I tried one of the strategies and it worked well. However I'm trying to do the ones where you have to have Insane AI allies (3v3, 4v4) and for some reason my allies do nothing. I've tried 4-5 matches and it pretty much goes down the same way each time. My allies build up a decent force very quickly (no defense at all though), and they don't do any thing. The computer will then team up one on of them, by the time reinforcements get there the ally is already destroyed. I thought maybe my allies were just waiting for me to initiate an attack, but when I tried that it didn't go so well. They stayed at the bases and my entire force was lost. Any tips to make this easier? Or should I just stick with the FFA tactic and go hide on an island and build up an Battlecruiser army. (Of course, then it becomes 1v3 or 1v4 since my allies will all be dead).

title: How do I play well as a scout?

text: Being fairly new to TF2 (about 100 hours play time) I am becoming steadily proficient in most classes, and am having a great time with them. However, one class, the scout, is eluding me. When I play as scout, I am killed very quickly and am lucky to get a single kill. However, when other people play as scout, they run circles around me and kill me quickly. Clearly they are doing something that I'm missing. How do I play well as a scout?


title: Usining Forge minecraft on windows 8.1 non-admin accounts

text: Since moving onto windows 8.1 I've set up user accounts for my kids- This means I can have separate safety settings on the browsers etc. When installing most apps it's just a case I install on one account (usually mine - the admin account) and it shows up in all the sub-accounts. This is probably because minecraft doesn't install to the programs/ folder.Now I can make a shortcut to the mincraft launcher from the sub accounts and run minecraft that way but Forge isn't present. I have installed forge on my admin account and it works fine but if I try install forge while in a sub account it doesn't work. Has anyone come across this and has a solution or does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks


title: Is it possible to lay a block adjacent to another without looking at the face of the existing block?

text: I want to build a bridge over a valley to allow fast travelling between 2 areas. The only way I can see to do it is this:   1. Build steps up to the level I need.   2. Move right to the end of the last block placed   3. Turn around so I can see a bit of the face of the last block   4. Place the block so it extends the length of the bridge   5. Repeat from step 2. This is slow because you you have to carefully navigate yourself to the precarious edge of a block each time. **Is there an easy way to place a block adjacent to an existing block without having to look back from beyond the edge of the existing block?** If my description doesn't make sense I may need to resort to ascii art.

title: Is there a way to reset an island in Campaign mode?

text: In Tropico V's campaign mode, you cycle between islands, doing missions on them. If you do a mission on an island you have been to before, the island is pretty much in the same state it was in when you left it. So, when I did a mission which involved building an invasion force, I stuffed up and it took me a very long time to complete. Which meant I had kind of destroyed my mineral reserves etc before realising what I was doing wrong, changing my constitution and then quickly finishing the mission before the economy collapsed. Now, I have a mission to export vast quantities of oil, set on that island. But I left the island in such a shambles that my economy pretty much immediatly falls over, and the newly founded oil industry doesn't even get going. Does anyone know if the campaign system has a work around for this? Or have I pretty much screwed myself several missions ago?


title: How do you kill the man eating plants?

text: In several of the dungeons there are giant man eating plants that snap at you if you get too close, the first one I came across I killed easily with the shotgun, but now nothing seems to kill them.

title: What items are worth selling, vending, or auctioning?

text: How does this question differ from What items are worth picking up? That question is more about what items are worth keeping between home-runs, so to speak. My question is more about longer term storage and selling. In Path of Exile, there's no gold (piece) economy. It is based on currency items which each have their own use and their prices are relative. It's a barter economy. The other integral half of the economy is combat items: weapons, armour, jewelry, maps, and skill gems. Among what determines a weapon's or armour's worth are: sockets, links, item- level, and the mods that are on it. I want to focus on the mods. There are two types of mods, implicit and affixes. Implicit mods always come with a certain weapon type. The more important type of mod are affixes.   Mundane (non-magic) items are items without affixes. Affixes are split into two categories: prefixes or suffixes. A magic (indigo) item can have up to one prefix and suffix. More than that and it becomes a rare (yellow) item. Now, you may say that what determines an item's worth is the mods that you're looking for, which can vary greatly. I believe that it doesn't vary greatly. While the mods that are desired differ based on build, there are certain sets of mods that are desired on each individual item (weapon, jewelry, and armour pieces (chest, helmet, gloves, and boots)). The most-easily-notable universally-desired sets are Increased Item Rarity + Increased Item Quantity (A.K.A. "Magic Find") and elemental resistances + increased armour/evasion/energy shield. I could name maybe a few more, but I'll leave the rest to the answerer. What determines whether an item is worth selling on the market, vending to an NPC, or auctioning (particularly, in terms of mods/affixes)?

title: Will automated workers clear forest if I'm playing as Iroquois?

title: Is it possible to add sockets to items?

text: One rather frequent outcome of item enchanting in Torchlight 1 used to be, especially in the late game, adding sockets to items. My previous weapon, the Extension Sword (highlights: 452-838 dps physical + 285-556 dps between fire and poison, -9% fumble chance, +20% fire damage, 2 meh enchantments) had a socket that was very well spent with my Eye of Gallo (93 health stolen on hit; hit multiple enemies, gain 93 health multiple times!) The weapon sadly got superseded by my Beast Hammer of Clouded Vision (562-1055 physical, 90% interrupt chance, 10% blinding cloud), which unfortunately has no sockets. Can I fix this somehow? I really started to rely on the combined effects of Forcefield (damage absorption) and health steal as a cheap and safe way to heal myself, but the days seem over now. I can still go back to the previous gun, except the general poison theme of Act 3 means giving up half of the elemental damage on that Extension Sword and... yeah, I'd just be happier with rescuing the gem and cramming it on the Hammer somehow. Is it possible?


title: Is the engi surrender event a penalty for honesty?

text: I've run into this event a few times. There's an engi ship that automatically surrenders without a fight, saying something like "transfer of goods acceptable?" There are two choices, 1) to accept the surrendered goods, 2) to assure them that you mean no harm. Every time this happens, I can't bring myself to take their stuff, so I choose the second option and they take off without another word. Is there anything more to this event, or is the optimal choice always to accept their stuff?

title: What's a good melee strategy for Teleglitch?

text: Melee weapons seem pretty strong against basic zombies (?) in teleglitch, I feel like I could save a lot more of my ammo for the bigger monsters if I could kill smaller things more consistently with whatever melee weapon I'm holding. Problem is, I have difficulty getting consistent hits with the thing. The hitbox seems weighted towards one side of the avatar and that makes it a bit difficult to use. Any tips that will help me score more hits and rely more on my melee for basic combat?

Everytime I visit Winterhold, it is ALWAYS snowing. I want to clear it out. But it does not work. The guards eventually ask me to stop shouting. Does the shout only work in certain areas? And since the name of the place is Winterhold, does it always have to be snowing?


title: I just kicked some stalker butt - how'd I do it?

text: Usually, when a stalker happens upon me (which may or may not be random, as we've seen), he comes up behind me and grabs me. The music and camera change and I mash `X` until Ezio throws him off. Last night I was hanging out on an empty rooftop (so much for stalkers lurking in crowds, eh?) when a stalker showed up. Thing is, I didn't even know there was a stalker around, since Ezio had already wrecked the guy before I even knew he was there. He threw him off before the stalker managed to grab him. It was awesome, but I have no idea how it happened. How'd I do that?


title: How do I get the memory fragment on Galata Tower?

text: There's a memory fragment on a wooden platform sticking out of the side of Galata Tower: ![what up lil memfrag](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IfOeO.jpg) How the heck do I get to it? As far as I can tell, there is no route to climb up to or around it (unless I'm missing something obvious). I tried climbing above it and dropping down onto it, but when I let go of the wall above I plummet into a hay pile below instead of down to the platform (which is actually good since in order to get above the platform you have to get high enough that the fall would probably desynchronize you). So how do I get this darn thing?

title: How to play Mid Lane as Akali agaist Morgana?

text: I really like to play Akali and always try to go for the mid lane, because many people underrate Akali there and get easily killed by me. I can handle mid lane agaist most champions except Morgana, Annie and Mordekaiser, but **especially** Morgana gives me trouble. If I attack her with Level 6 or higher (with shadow dance and 3 marks) she stun me and her burst of damage takes me down while I can't do enough damage to kill her. If I don't attack her she will push the lane very hard and I lose the tower after a while and if my teammates play bad at their lanes, I can't support them either than they can support me. So how could I handle such a bad situation?

title: Are there no unique battle maps for special cities in the Total War: ROME II campaign?

text: I recently attacked the city of Alexandria with a combined naval and land force in my co-op campaign with a friend, and was looking forward to a battle in the environment presented on this page: http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Total_War_ROME_II:_Capital_Cities However, when the battle map loaded the city looked nothing like the one in the picture of Alexandria in the wiki. It was just a generic coastal city with walls, no huge lighthouse or other unique details. From the wiki page (emphasis added): > Among all the settlements and cities to be found as you conquer your way > across ROME II’s **campaign map** , five stand out as great wonders of > engineering [...] and > It’s only right that the battle maps for these mighty seats of ancient > civilisation get the special treatment, so we’ve gone to town on making them > the most intricate, stunning, authentic and of course epic cityscapes we’ve > ever created. I also attacked Carthage earlier during the campaign and as I recall it too didn't look any different from the other generic provincial capitals I had waged battles in. Is there anyone who has attacked or defended one of these "unique" capitals and had the battle map actually look like the cities in the pictures on the wiki page?

title: Getting the most experience out of a taxi

text: I have started playing Silkroad Online again and as those who play it will know, the game doesn't really start until around level 70 (in my experience). My old accounts were deleted for inactivity. I have never been a fan of taxis and have grinded my way through most of this game but now it seems to be the only viable way for such a short period of time. I was wondering, what is the best way to get the most exp out of a taxi? I am aware of the level gap thing and stuff like that but what is the optimal level gap between your characters and the mobs that the higher level is farming? How many people in a party is suitable? Just stuff like that. Thanks in advance for any information.


title: Is it possible to reach level 50 with quests?

text: The last MMO I played was SWTOR and there you really had a structured quest line and a plot. While you also have a storyline in TESO I feel like you won't get to 50 with questing only. Currently I am level 20 but I only have Quests for level 21 (I'm playing Ebonheart) and this has happened before. Usually I balanced it out by PVP or Dungeons but I really find it a little annoying to always grind mobs/players for the missing 10-50% of the level (mainly due to the fact that it feels like MMO grinding. I'd love to grind mobs if it was actual Elder scrolls grinding). Of course I can also do the quests that are 1-4 levels above mine but I have the feeling that at a certain point it won't be 1-4 levels but 4-12 levels. Are there some things that I can follow when it comes to finding hidden quests? I always find some quests when randomly walking past a wayshrine but even with those I don't manage to get a full level. Also a thing I found was a certain Add-On which sort of functions like the old "Quest Helper" Add-On from WoW if anyone remembers that. The only thing with it is that it costs money and I really don't want to spend money on an Add-On (although it really looks great but 30$? geez...). The fact that there is a "Guide" to it somehow tells me that it is possible but I just don't get how It can be made (and no I don't wanna download the trial version of this thing since they want a whole lot of information just for the demo). So is there something that I can hold on in game (If possible without addons) to reach lvl 50 without PVP/Grinding/Dungeons or am I basically forced to do these things?

text: When I've got a station manned, I'm trying to work out what causes my crew to develop in skills. It looks like engines and cockpit crew only upgrade when an attack is dodged, and then get a single skill point. Is this correct, and what causes Shields and Weapons to get an upgrade point?

title: At what point does Leah's Journal: Part 2 become available?

text: For some reason, I am unable to find Part 2 of Leah's Journal in _Diablo 3_. I usually pick up Part 1 before the people inside the inn turn into zombies, and have checked back periodically throughout my first _real_ quest (Killing the mothers, etc.) and have had no luck finding it. I _have_ noticed, however, that if I wait until after that quest is completed, Part 3 of her journal appears. **How do I get Part 2 of Leah's Journal?**


title: Why can't I kill any escorts?

text: On my travels I often encounter Thalmor Justiciar escorting a prisoner. As a former prisoner, I once tried aiding him by slaying his escort. Sadly, the guards at the next village I encountered saw that as a vile crime. So now I'm left wondering, **why can't I kill these lone escorts, especially when there are no eye witnesses?** Or are the Thalmor the good guys and should I let this criminal be taken to the block without inferring like a law-abiding citizen of Skyrim? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eevA3.jpg)

title: Quests that won't clear

text: I acually have two questions. How do I complete a quest if when I go to the place where the arrow is pointing, the quest turns out to be void? Like for instance; Esborn wanted me to brin him a Dragon scale and a dragon bone. When I brought these things to him, nothing else happened. the same words from our previous conversation would only show and not the one concerning the dragon scale & bone. Another quest wanted me to "receive a reading from Olava the feeble". When I go to her house ( where the arrow is pointing ) she demands that I leave her house. When I see her outside and press "A" to talk to her, she says nothing. This is the same with outer quests tha I have. Skyrim is an awesome game, but it's pretty F$#@ up!

title: How can I install Red Alert 3 on Linux?

text: I recently found there are several layers of programs (some commercial) one can put on top of WINE to run games better and do everything easier. I'm using PlayOnLinu 4.2.1 with Wine 1.7.4 in 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04. I have previously successfully installed _Civilization V_ with both expansion packs and copied _C &C The First Decade_ even before I got Play on Linux, with Wine alone. (although the second didn't work, I didn't have winetricks, now I could really install, not just copy The First Decade folders and files) I've tried just about anything to install the game, installing through the CD (never finishes, gets stuck on the end "copying new files"), through Steam (doesn't actually install the game, but Steam with the game's name), and through pointing to the setup file as installation file on the CD (through the options of installation and running `playonlinux /media/setup.exe &` on the terminal). I also tried tweaking a few options, and following tutorials, but none have worked so far (still if there's any you think would work, please tell me). I could try installing on the VM and copying Red Alert 3, but I think it is awkward that an unsupported game installs and a supported one doesn't. Why?

title: Does the Men of Science event have unstated effects?

text: I'm playing my first game as the Ottomans and have received the Men of Science event several times. To summarize, our ministers want to offer gold to foreign scientists to entice them to move here so we don't fall behind in technology. You are presented with two options:   * Yes, bring them here: lose 25 Piety.   * No, we don't need them: gain 25 Piety. It lists no other effects. Does accepting their help give you a boost to technology that isn't listed here? I see no reason to take a 25 point hit to Piety without a payoff. What is the point of this event?


title: Raising commercial/residential wealth in SimCity? When should I do this?

text: I always seem to get stuck here. I'll have a TON of residential areas, like, literally the entire map full. But the "low" residential demand just keeps going super high. And I literally just do not have the space to put any more down. I've heard the ratio 3:1:1 for R:I:C as far as the "golden ratio". Is this still true? Also, am I possibly upgrading my residential communities too fast? (AKA by placing parks and such). I get constant complaints about jobs. But I think I'm maybe trying to progress too fast. Is it ideal to sort of move "all" resedential areas up "value"-wise, or sort of keep sections segregated (AKA have high/low/medium residential areas, but keep them segregated). For reference, I'm going with an electronics specialization.


title: Why am I losing Manpower when it says I am gaining it?

text: In one month my Manpower dropped from 10,191 to 9,204, but the hover says I am gaining 813 each month. All of my armies were fully replenished several months before when I had around 15k Manpower. Am I misreading the hover information? Is there another screen that shows more details or what is causing the drop? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PiW2Q.png) **Update:** I am above the force-limit (76/72), but the only penalty mentioned in the hover is a monetary cost of 1.43/month. Is this related?


title: How do I start the Temple of Miraak quest?

text: I've recently added the Dragonborn DLC to my Skyrim (PS3). I setup a new character and went to Solstheim. After doing a number of quests and discovering pretty much ever location on Solstheim I seem to have stalled on the main story line. When I visit the Temple of Miraak I don't see/meet Frea. I've read elsewhere that if I travelled back to Skyrim some cultists would attack me, which would trigger the question. But I've spent about 8 hours back on Skyrim doing various quests - and still nothing has happened. Has anyone else come across this issue and know how to trigger the Temple of Miraak quest? I've got a good level 38 character who's built around stealth kills with the Bound Bow, and I'd hate to have to start again.


title: What is the most efficient way to upgrade a portal?

text: When I destroyed all resonators on an enemy portal, I have various options to place the resonators. I can either   * set the highest resonators right away or   * start with lower resonators and gradually replace them with higher ones. By default (Button "Deploy Resonator") Ingress seems to set lower resonators first, so I would have to replace them with higher ones later. **What is the way to gain the most AP when deploying resonators on a portal..?** I would like answers on two cases: **a) ..when I am alone.   b) ..when I am with a friend.** Usually when I am with a friend we start with the lowest resonator level and replace each others resos with a reso of one level higher, because we think that replacing a foreign resonator gives you AP while replacing your own does not. I am not sure about this though. PS: When answering please focus on AP gain and ignore the following factors:   * amount of Resonators used   * amount of XM used   * resonator location   * other strategic considerations (bait resonators, ...)

title: Terrible Team Fortress 2 Performance

text: I've purchased a graphics card lately, a Nvidia Geforce 210, with awesome features. The only downside is my RAM (512). Every kind of video requirement I can max out with this graphics card but my RAM is terrible, but I have to admit new games such as HL2:EP2, DOD:S, HL2, Dark messiah, Minecraft, they all run smooth and at an ideal 60+ framerate at a time. However, I tried to play TF2 on steam, since it's free, I defragmented it's cache files via steam and I added DXLEVEL 80 and I even lowered my settings bellow the ones recommended for my system, yet I am experiencing TERRIBLE overall performance in TF2.   * Waiting about 5 minutes for the game to start up, and huge lag in the main menu   * In-game it takes about 30 minutes of play-time for the game to run relatively smooth   * When I run into groups of 5+ players the game lags terribly   * I have no ping/network issues   * The game is running in windowed mode at lowest resolution I did a test to see if my game can run it, and it's above the minimum required specifications, But it is absolutely unplayable, Why is the performance so bad? **My PC Specs:**   * **OS** : Windows XP Professional.   * **CPU** : Single-Core Processor.   * **Graphics** : Nvidia Geforce 210.   * **RAM** : 512 MB

title: Turn off AI "Rebase" animations in Civilization 5?

text: I have all animations off, quick movement on, quick combat on, quick selection advance on, etc. However, the "rebase" animation still plays on AI turns. And, unfortunately, the AI almost always rebases **all** aircraft every turn. Are there any hidden ways to turn this off? It can take minutes between peacetime turns, just because the AI feels the need to move a dozen aircraft from city to city every turn. This happens in both normal game view and strategic view, so using strategic view is not an option here.

Some of the consoles I've owned are:   * **8** bit NES    * **16** bit Megadrive (Genesis)   * **64** bit Nintendo 64 I've always been curious about what the number of _bits_ specified actually means? I realise that when taking _unsigned integers_ into account, the maximum value `8` bits is `255`, `16` bits is `65,535`, and `64` bits is`9,223,372,036,854,775,807`. Does it refer to the amount of graphical data that can be transfered at any one time? Or the colour palette? Or the largest a numeric data-type can be? Or some other factors?


title: Can I pan the minimap in Civilization 5?

text: In civilization 5 the minimap displays a rectangle, even though civ is actually played on a cylinder - it just means that the east and west edges of the minimap are touching. Sometimes the minimap displays the "calendar line" in a very uncomfortable position - for example I would like my empire to be in the middle, but it appears very close to the edge of that minimap. I know that after exiting and then loading a game the minimap changed so that my empire was in a different (better) position, far from the sides. Is there any way to somehow control it in-game?

title: Is it possible to complete Dark Souls without leveling?

text: One of the things that have always irked me about the Dark Souls games is the ability to store up souls, and effectively grind your way past a certain point by leveling up indefinitely. Accumulated failures naturally result in more souls as you go through the level again, and more souls means leveling up, thereby lessening the challenge that makes these games so great. Is it at all possible to beat these games without leveling up at all?

title: Is there a limit on resource sharing?

text: It's a relatively frequent strategy in 2v2 matches in StarCraft II for one player to immediately leave the game, allowing his ally to have a very strong economy to deal with his two opponents. Of course, this still takes a lot of micromanagement for the player remaining in the game to build up his own base and his ally's economy at the same time. It is particularly powerful with a Terran/Protoss team, because Terran can mine so quickly with MULEs and the Protoss player, given extra money, can produce such a powerful army. Is it possible to employ this strategy without the Terran player leaving the game, however? Is there any limitation to the timing and/or amount of resources that can be shared between players?

title: Does %elemental resistance work without any elemental resistance gear?

text: I crafted some gems with +7% elemental resistance. I socketed one of those gems into a chest piece. Is there something like a base resistance against the elements? If I don't have any other equipment with any type of elemental resistance, is my +7% elemental resistance of 0 meaningless? Or does this mean 7% less damage from any source of elemental magic?


title: What's the easiest way to piledrive everybody into the ice?

title: How to increase demand for a product?

text: I have a ton of oil sitting in trade sites that aren't getting bought at the end of the month. How do I create demand so that my oil gets bought? It seems I have a chicken and egg problem, in that I can't create consumer buildings because I don't have an HQ to produce a building further down the production chain, but I can't produce the new building because my lesser tier products aren't selling.

text: What does the 'One, Two, Three and Four Player' options in the 'Low Detail Models' graphical setting do? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BW4h3.png) I assumed that 'Off' will turn off 'Low Detail Models' (enabling high detail models - please correct me if I'm wrong). However, I'm not sure what the 'One, Two, Three and Four Player' options do exactly. Does it have anything to do with the number of racers currently on the screen, or racing at the current track?

title: Is there some way of automatically farming wool from sheep?

text: I would like to set up some way of autmatically farming wool from sheep in Minecraft. I have a farm, but unfortunately, sheep do not shed wool when they die. So all I get is leather, feathers and eggs. There was a suggestion involving pressure plates, dispensers and snowballs, but there is no more snow in beta. Does anyone know if sheep shed wool when they are damaged by cacti? Any other suggestion on how to pull this off? [I know that farming spiders is an alternative. But I would really prefer to use sheep.] Does anyone know how far away you may walk from a mob before it despawns?


title: How to place a Quarry in Tekkit

text: Was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to properly place down a Quarry using Land Marks. I think I know the basics:   1. Place down 3 Land marks in a triangle   2. Right-click the middle one to create a red square   3. Place the Quarry down next to the middle Land Mark And sometimes this works. _However_ what often happens is that the Land Marks just explodes and the Quarry gets no black and yellow frame at all. What is the cause of this? How do I place down the Quarry properly so that this won't happen?

title: Starcraft II Patches not Downloading Correctly

text: Ever since I first installed the Free Version(Then later on upgraded to full version) the patches always stopped installing at random percentages and it will stay there. The way I fixed it and finally downloaded it was to continuously opening and closing it quite literally 100+ times. Every time it would download a little further and then stop. It did this again whenever any patches are out and need to updated before I can play. Is there a solution on this? There are tons of articles on the internet about this but none give a solution that works!

text: After reading a long thread I've read that Seraph Weapons "power up" from their initial stats. Some suggested that killing enemies raised their stats or damage, and a great deal of people seemed completely unable to reproduce this. So do Seraph weapons really power up, and if so, how? Here's the thread where the rumors/hints were suggested: Seraph weapons secrets. It sounds like trolling considering the lack of confirmation reports, but I don't have a weapon of my own to test.

title: Match information in Starcraft 2 via packet capture?

text: I'm writing a small application to track some additional statistics not provided within Starcraft 2 (e.g. current daily point increase/decrease, distribution of matches such as those won in the first 5 minutes, etc...). The problem is that there is some information that isn't available on the battle.net webpage. Ideally, I'd parse all of the information directly from this website, but things like length the game ran and opponents aren't provided on the web version. So, I've been looking into capturing packets on a client machine to see if there is a way I can extract this data as a user is playing sc2. I'm not entirely sure this is going to work, because as I've seen thus far, the packets are either encrypted, or simply not readable. I just wanted to see if others had thoughts on how I might go about this. Also, the software is going to be GPL licensed, so if you're interested in helping out, let me know. ~Scott


title: Where to find an End Portal?

text: So I was goofing around in creative mode just because my survival game was a little too intense and I wanted to play without the fear of dying. After a while, building got boring, and then I decided to go and find an End Portal. I've never found one before, but I looked at different tips and got an Ender Eye. I sent a few up from a triangular position. I dug down and found a stronghold. All excited, I decided to go searching. I literally explored every pathway and found absolutely nothing. Despite my many Eyes of Ender, I couldn't find the Portal! What am I doing wrong? I dug down to where it told me to...

title: Which were the graphic updates of DAoC?

text: The graphics of Dark Age of Camelot were updated several times. _What_ was changed _when_ since the release of DAoC? I’m refering to _any_ visual change, whether the graphic engine was updated or whether only models/textures changed. (However, graphic fixes/updates of single weapons etc. are irrelevant.) I tried to find a page with **before/after screenshots** , e.g. of a character standing in a city, but with no success. For example: What was changed in Shrouded Isles? IIRC the water was updated. What else? Were the environment/city/character/mob models updated, too? In DAoCWiki it only says: > displayed in an all-new state-of-the-art graphics engine that make it look > as advanced as any game on the market

I also see the statistic of the Tall Tale (Play 1,000 rounds of Versus mode) trophy at 0% (meaning no player has unlocked it). Could it be just the trophy description that is bad and the trophy is actually for completing 1,000 matches (not rounds)?


title: Is it possible to prevent Max from switching weapons during cutscenes?

text: Each time a cutscene starts (and god knows it's pretty much _all the time_ in this game), Max switches back to any single right handed weapon he's got. This is highly annoying, mostly when the cutscene leads to a gunfight: guns are starting blazing everywhere in a second and you have a simple handgun 9mm instead of your favorite ak47, looted at the price of your life a few minutes before.   By the time you understand it, you are dead already.

I read some months ago in an interview that all cards in the game could be get for free just playing, is it still true at the release?


title: How do I get dwarves to be sane about their armor?

text: Initially, my dwarves were training (and charging headlong into combat) without armor, just normal clothing. Thanks to this question, I discovered two settings:   * In the military screen (`m`), I can set their armor to "Replace (`r`)" their clothing. This resulted in the military immediately stripping naked, and putting on _some_ armor. For example, Urist McBreezypants is currently wearing just a pair of high boots.   * The squad orders pane (`s`) has a `t` active/inactive. They seem to be doing a "Combat drill", which is more than they've ever done. Hopefully this raises their skill levels a bit, as they're all currently “Dabbling Eyepoker” or “Novice Kneebreaker”, essentially. That said, how can I get Urist McStreaker to put some clothing on? The trading depot has plenty of available pieces of armor (mail shirts, for example! made of metal, even.) My dwarves' uniform is all metal armor, but not more specific than that. I.e.,   * metal armor   * metal headwear   * metal legwear   * metal handwear   * metal footwear   * etc.

How does it affect combat exactly?      * Does it double your attack speed or damage?     * Are they on their own separate attack timers or is it a chance to swing both at the sametime thing?     * Do I have to click faster to make it work?   4. Am I better off putting a weapon with elemental damage in one hand than the other?   5. What about two weapons of different speeds?

The box is only in German here in Switzerland, so can I expect the game to be multilingual and also work in English and Spanish? Or do they have German-only releases?

title: Does a beam weapon have to hit a crew member - or just the square they're in?

text: The Anti-Bio beam in FTL only damages crew, and - as with any beam weapon - it's often tricky to line up the perfect shot on an enemy ship. I understand (based on answers to this question - How do beam weapons damage enemy crew?) that a beam's path must specifically cross crewmembers - and not just the room they're in - in order to deal them damage. Is it sufficient, however, for the beam to hit the **square** / **tile** containing the crewmember - or does the beam's path literally have to cross through the actual crewmember's sprite? That is, if a beam 'cuts the corner' of a square containing a stationary crew member, but doesn't actually touch the crew member, will they still take damage from the shot?

Before the order of zones by level used to be something like:   Kalimdor: Starting zone, The Barrens, Ashenvale, Thousand Needles   Eastern Kingdoms: Starting zone, Silverpine, Hillsbrad, Alterac / Arathi / Stranglethorn However, these zones, at least in Kalimdor, no longer connect this way. What is the expected progression through the zones now? Note: I'm actually curious all the way up to 60, but I understand the tree gets a lot more complicated if you go that far, as the number of zones of those levels increase.

title: Healing and the "Holy Trinity" in MMO class design not relevant?

text: I have read somewhere while going through various Guild Wars 2 resources that all classes in Guild Wars 2 have healing abilities sufficient for keeping themselves alive when played properly (ie: dodging big attacks instead of trying to stand there and tank them), but that no class in Guild Wars 2 could ever be classified as a 'Healer' in the way that there are specific healing classes in other games. Does this mean that all classes have basically the same healing capabilities or are there some classes better suited to healing, some classes better suited to damage dealing and some better suited to tanking? From what I've read, the warrior and guardian classes obviously look more suited to tanking damage in comparison to say, a thief, but none of the classes jump out at me as being specialised in healing. Is the standard "Holy Trinity" of MMO class design not as relevant in Guild Wars 2?


title: Is there any penalty to reducing the difficulty level in Heavy Rain?

text: I am on my first playthrough of Heavy Rain, and while I'm enjoying the game I find the quicktime events (especially combat) extremely annoying. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm more used to a 360 controller or just that I always hated quicktime in games that are more about plot, but I am ready to take the shame and reduce the difficulty to the video game noob level. If I do so, is there any penalty? (besides achievements, which I don't care about)


title: What class of armor should my party members be wearing?

text: I'm trying to understand, generally speaking, what types of armor I should be equipping on my party members. Here's what I know:   * There are several classes of armor: clothing, light, medium, heavy, massive, etc.   * "Heavier" classes of armor provide more protection, but cause more fatigue and require larger stat scores (usually strength)   * Each armor class has named tiers of progressive quality (e.g. Veridium armor is better than Iron armor) What I'm trying to figure out is:   * Does fatigue matter all that much in the grand scheme of things, particularly with members I'm not directly controlling?   * Should I always be equipping the heaviest armor my party members can wear?    * If I shouldn't be equipping the heaviest armor a character can wear, what are the recommended armor classes for each character class? Like, should mages always wear clothing; rogues should always wear light, etc.

title: How do I make an effective Minecraft SMP trap?

text: Alright, so on a SMP server that I play, there's been some raids by other players to grab my stuff, and occasionally killing me and taking my inventory. So, I'd like to make some traps for them the next time they come in. What's the best way to make a trap for them? Attributes I'd like would be   1. Simple: Although I likely have enough redstone dust and such to make a complex trap, I'd prefer a design I'm unlikely to mess up, as I've blown myself up before trying to make a TNT-related trap.   2. Inescapable: Well, this goes without saying. I suppose anything can be escaped/avoided with the right foreknowledge and equipment, but I'd like something they're nearly certain to fall into. That said, I'd prefer it if the trap wasn't something I could accidentally kill myself with as I go around my house.   3. Finally, I'd like a trap that doesn't destroy all the equipment along with the enemy player, is it would be nice to loot their diamond swords instead of burning them. (Although, I'd be fine with some lava traps as a last line of defense if they avoid everything else.) Thanks in advance for your help! EDIT: To clarify, in the servers I mainly play on, it's usually just default gameplay, as abusing admin powers to raid is not allowed. So assume the enemy players have the best possible equipment (diamond pickaxes, swords, armor, bows, TNT, water/lava blocks, etc.), but no admin ability.


title: What the hell is that noise and how do I get rid of it?

text: I've now for the second time encountered a multiplayer match where there was a constant background noise. The first time I thought someone was just messing around and played some sound effect via his microphone, but I now encountered exactly the same sound effect a second time. The effect is pretty much audible the whole match, it's not a constant hum but an oscillating one, and it's very annoying. What causes this annoying sound and how do I make sure I don't encounter it a third time?


title: Do skill enchantments on armor work for companions?

text: I have been using Lydia and have noticed the following: If I put on a ring, armor, boots, necklace and head piece all with bow damage percentage increase, my bow damage rating in my own inventory screen goes up to about 140 for an ebony bow. If i then give this bow to Lydia, the damage on the bow is the 140. If I give her the bow to start then give her the clothing with bow damage percentage increases, the bow damage remains at the base level in her inventory screen. Same thing if I give her the bow with bonus damage to start then give her the clothing. The bow damage always remains the same as what it was when I gave it to her...so do enchantments on armor and such actually provide a benefit or bonus to your companion? Perhaps it is just not visible? Thanks!

title: What's the optimal construction strategy in die2nite?

text: There's a few rules that every die2nite player knows (regardless of how many actually obey them), like building a tent but not a hovel, constructing a workshop first, etc. After that point, construction order seems like more of an art than a science. I'd like to get some sense of an optimal construction order up to day 5 or 6, at least. Assume you've got 15 citizens who spend AP on construction per day (225 ap/day), keep defenses within logical limits (to combat daily increased zombie counts) and while you can be optimistic about raw materials, don't be unrealistic.

title: What race should I genocide?

text: I just got a scroll of genocide monster. My initial reaction is to kill off vampires, because I hate losing levels to them. However, I'm not sure that this is the best monster to genocide. There are still mindflayers and wights, and loads of other nasties. What are some of the top creatures that I should consider genociding?


title: Is there a way to clean up Hjerim after the 1.4 patch?

text: According to UESP, the 1.4 patch included a fix for the "...issue where the player house in Windhelm would not clean up properly". However, after applying the update and loading a game where I'd already completed Blood on the Ice and fully upgraded Hjerim, my house is still a mess! Is there anything that needs to be done to trigger the cleanup? Or, is this something that is only fixed for new games or games where the quest has not yet been completed?

title: What is the benefit of completing single player mode?

text: The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, previously downloadable for DSi, DSiXL and 3DS, has both a single player and multiplayer modes. Is there anything unlocked or any benefit to completing single player mode?


title: What is the best use of Warzone Commendations (for PVP purposes) after reaching Battlemaster (Valor Rank 60)?

text: While I understand the word "best" may make the question a little subjective, but from a pure PVP perspective what would be the best use of these commendations after you get to rank 60/buy all your gear? I consider the mounts flavour items that don't do anything PVP wise (I do plan on getting them eventually though). Healing and Expertise adrenals are 10 WZ commendations each and I use them pretty liberally (at least the healing one), and that is a good use of them. At the moment I have been spending 70 WZ commendations and buying the Black Market Preimum PVP Bag They contain anywhere between 2-4 of each adrenal and a Bind on Equip level 45 green item that can be sold either on the GTN or just to a vendor for credits. The risk on the box is that you may or may not get the same number of adrenals as if you had just bought them 10 for 1. What I am wondering is/are there better things to spend the WZ commendations on that will further PVP objectives?


title: Extreme lag solution available?

text: Is there any way to make the Sonic the Hedgehog game run smooth enough for decent play on the PS3? It's unbearable, I've almost thrown the game out the window here. Every time a little bit of shadow comes on screen, Sonic goes into Matrix-style slow- motion, unintentionally I assume. Perhaps somebody has made an update or a patch for the game?


title: Camera control without a mod/patch?

text: It's possible to change the camera (besides the both that come in the default installation game) without the toca mod/patch? I mean, something like editing some config file?


title: Do multikills give money

text: As far as I know several kills in a row (killing spree, dominating etc) gives only higher bounties for the hero who did it but I was wonder do several quick kills (double/triple kill, ultra kill or even RAMPAGE) gives additional money to the person who did them?


title: What causes enemies to reset?

text: I've been playing an Engineer recently, and although it can be fun to kite enemies instead of going toe-to-toe with them, I sometimes have a problem with enemies resetting before I have a chance to kill them. When this occurs, the enemy stops chasing you, returns to where they were when you first engaged them, and regenerates back to full health. What causes an enemy to reset? How can I stay out of an enemy's range without resetting them?
