Bukkit isn't a good option since it's a hosted server, so I'm hoping for advice that doesn't requires Bukkit plugins. In the worst case I could probably move the world files somewhere that Bukkit is an option. There are only 7 suspect players. INVEdit crashes when opening some players' inventories, presumably because we're running 1.7.4 and INVEdit hasn't been updated recently. So I used the trick of temporarily hijacking other players' `[username].dat`files, but the stolen items aren't in anyone's inventory. A note in case someone else doesn't know this technique: 1. Look in the world's `/players` directory. 2. Back up your own `[username].dat` file. 3. Copy a suspected player's `[username].dat` file, renaming it to your user name. 4. Launch the game and check the inventory as your own. 5. When you're done investigating, restore your own `[username.dat]` file. This probably means the stolen items are in a hidden chest, since the technique above lets you inspect players' inventories and Ender chests. Are there time-reasonable (i.e., not requiring hours of tedious work) techniques for finding thieves after the fact? And if not after the fact, are there ways to set up a trap that will help identify thieves in the future, again without requiring hours of work? For example, I've wondered whether naming items could somehow help to track down thieves if you could search through the World data file.

Also, some places have the marketplace (complete as it may or may not be) positioned relatively far away from the general residential area. A few clarifications: By \"include\", I mean to presume that the house has been fully upgraded.

This is very little, considering that in normal vanilla, I average 30-50 fps. ## What I have already done I have already removed two mods, I believe one of them was Mo'Creatures and the other one was MatAmos (or whatever that is). This has increased it from unplayable to a maximum of 17 fps. These two were one of the mods that does heavy calculation, but I often am killed by a creeper or a zombie when I fluctuate from 0 to 3 fps. I have additionally turned everything in OptiFine off and have changed my render distance to Short +16. ## Question How can I reduce lag in Tekkit/Technic?

However, this time is _very_ focused towards achieving certain tasks. It's strongly implied that to stray from those tasks would mean certain doom for Joker and/or the Normandy. Besides this, players who have been paying attention won't want to over-exert him anyway due to his bone condition. So, during my first (and so far only) play-through of this scene I stuck to the objectives. I did keep my eyes open for anything that might look \"interesting\", but didn't see any. Is there ever any variation in this scene, or any point in doing anything with this time other than just completing the basic mission? Otherwise, it seems like the scene may as well have been done as just a non-interactive cut-scene. I understand there's a certain value in allowing the player to remain immersed in the story through control of certain characters. However, this is the first time in the series (at least, following the paths I've taken) that the player is given direct control of any character other than Shepard and it seems so little is done with it that there's really no point. I'd like to explore this scene more myself, but would like to know ahead of time whether or not there will be any point to it.

Is the player's control of Joker effectively limited to only that which is necessary to complete the task at hand, or is there more that can be done? * A simple yes or no, and a _very general_ direction of where to look will suffice. Please put any further details, if included, in a spoiler block. 2. Are there any decisions Shepard can make in either of the first two Mass Effect games, which will influence the player's experience while they control Joker? * A simple yes or no, and a list of decision points, would be appreciated.

The Borderlands Wiki gives the same description for the Zapper Class Mod. I understand 'Shock' to mean damage on hit by a shock weapon and 'Electrocute' to mean the damage-over-time (DoT) effect that has a chance to trigger upon being hit by a shock weapon. I based this on the description of the skills in the Little Big Trouble skill tree, which differentiate between Shock and Electrocute damage. If the above is correct, then 'Chance to Shock +29%' doesn't make sense as shock damage doesn't have a \"chance to trigger\" (it always does damage). This makes more sense if it's 'Chance to Electrocute'. **What is the actual effect of this class mod?** Does it add to Electrocute damage or Shock damage?

COMPUTER A is the better machine and we want to run the server on that as well as a client. COMPUTER B can only really run either the server or the client. It's good enough to run TF2 etc. so it's not underpowered. **What works:** Run the server on COMPUTER B. We can run the client on COMPUTER A and connect to the server without any problems. We can also run the client on COMPUTER B and connect to the server, but it's unplayable. **What doesn't work:** Run the server on COMPUTER A. Running the client on COMPUTER A works and gives a decent frame rate etc. However, from COMPUTER B when we try to connect it appears to work, but then 30 seconds later it times out. The server reports that the connection has been made and then lost. We have Sygate personal firewall on COMPUTER A which has a 1GB network card. **This computer is also running IPv6**. We have Comodo firewall pro on COMPUTER B which has a 100MB network card. This computer is still running IPv4. The two are connected via a 1GB switch. Both firewalls have rules set up to allow all local traffic of any protocol on any port through.

When I first build an area, then new couples move into the houses, so you only need N/2 (where N is the number of useful jobs) houses. Then you have a local food supply for N people and you're done. But as time goes on, this becomes distorted- spouses die, for example, in a famine that was _totally not my fault_. But now you have N jobs, but only N/2 people live in the village, alone without children. So unless you want your people to trek literally all the way across the biggest map size (which is what I had), you have to make more houses. But when they die, and young people move in, you end up with way more people and available workers than you need or can feed, so the population over-grows and you get a famine and the population crashes. You could manage this problem if you could stagger the stages to occur in a couple houses at a time- that way one house being 80-year-old widow only can be countered by another house being fresh young couple. But you can't seem to stagger them and the villager intelligence does not seem to spread them out appropriately. How can I avoid this boom-and-bust cycle? Edit: Not to mention that if you want to build a new structure, the builders need to live locally, but once it's done, they don't, which introduces more temporary but potentially severe housing pressure and often seems to lead to _severe_ delays in constructing new structures even if you have all the resources available and proximate.

I know that when I see this (typically I scout with my 13th drone) my reaction should be to take the investment in static defenses as a sign that they are not going to attack immediately and use the opportunity to get an economic advantage over my opponent, so I place a couple of zergs outside their defenses as an early warning and take a second (or possibly third) expansion. The problem comes when I try and take advantage of my economic lead. I've tried a few different things to break through their turtle but nothing works that consistently * Avoiding their defenses and harassing with mutalisks works some of the time, however its easily countered by opponents who know its coming and build air defenses * Attacking the wall directly with higher level units (hydralisks or even just roaches) sometimes works, however I generally take fairly heavy losses if it does * I've tried attacking with banelings however again I find this is fairly inefficient As a result I now tend to just contain them inside their walls, harass when I can and prevent them from expanding. Against Terran players I tend to do OK (especially against those who fail to invest in air defense), although it feels like I'm taking a long time to kill off my opponent. If I wait long enough then Protoss players tend to go for Void Rays which gets me every time.

But it seems that even though there are many advantages to have a slow weapon as a wizard (since you spend less arcane power per hit and can benefit from 1 time hits), I would like to know if the following is an advantage towards the high attack speed side: Having a spellbook gives a flat increase of (i.e.) +3-5 damage. Does this increase the range of your primary damage to +3-5? If so, then since this isn't a percent increase, have a high attack speed benefits from such items, isn't it so? Considering the alternative, I have a shield that could provide 20 intelligence, which translates to 20% more damage by spells. If my current damage totals to 20 DPS, with 10-30 damage at attack speed 1 per second, then the shield yields 12-36 damage, hence 24 DPS. Using the spellbook instead of the shield would yield 13-35 damage, hence again 24 DPS. But if I had attack speed 2 per second, and damage to be 5 - 15 (giving again 20 DPS), my shield would give 6 - 18 damage, thus 12 DPS, but the spellbook would give 8 - 20, hence 14 DPS. Is this correct or am I missing anything?

This would make it possible to start from fresh on a server one doesn't control. I think that the whole idea of there being a _single game state_ associated with a _single user id_ is, on its face, absurd. When you play locally, you can have as many games as you wish. The same should be possible on a server. I have no problem with having a unique id so that someone can ban me etc. I just wish there was a way to have more than one game state (player state) on a server, so that I could explore different strategies etc. My question is not about impersonating another player, nor avoiding bans, etc. I simply wonder why online play limits the functionality present in the basic local Minecraft - namely that you can have more than one game state."} {"_id": "115074", "title": "How do I get a Synergy Crystal and what does it do?", "text": "The title says it all.

I personally have gotten reasonably good at it, taking my game up to 7 and 8 difficulty in the earlier builds and as high as 11 in _DDR X_ , barless (that is, without a safety bar). Unfortunately, despite the fact that we live in a three story townhome with no neighbors above or below us, our neighbors on either side have complained about the noise during hours of play. Because we share walls with both sets of neighbors and our only practical locations are closer to one or the other, we can't minimize noise by setting the system up equidistant from both shared walls. And, as the shared walls have strong sound insulation, the noise being put out is relevant but not significant. The real problem is the vibration, which is an exceedingly common complaint about home installations. After researching the issue, it came to my attention that foam inserts are a very common strategy to reduce vibration and audible noise. It is also possible that we can schedule our routine with either set of neighbors, but we'd like to be more courteous during normal waking hours if possible. We currently own two Konami dance pads that we've modified with plastic chairmats and carpet tape to prevent slippage. I'm considering picking up a cheap memory foam topper from Amazon to place under the chairmats for single, versus, and doubles play, under the assumption that the high density of the material and low slippage should be sufficient for extended play at high difficulty. Is this the best solution to the problem? What other methods of vibration baffling are available that I've not considered?"} {"_id": "115078", "title": "In a co-op game, whose PhysX settings determine if flowing cloths are bulletproof?", "text": "> \u2026flowing cloth (flags, tarps) that use PhysX to flow realistically are solid > with PhysX off, and block bullets completely.

I can confirm that this is true, _visually_ , in a single player game. (I haven't tested this in a co-op game, hence this question.) I've noticed that flowing cloths _appear_ to be rock-solid and bulletproof if playing with an AMD card with PhysX _disabled_ , and that projectiles _appear_ to pass through flowing cloth if playing with an Nvidia card with PhysX _enabled_. However, if this is not true, i.e. even if projectiles _appear_ to be tearing or passing through flowing cloth with PhysX enabled, they actually _aren't_ , then please feel free to correct me. **If in a co-op game, what if the host has an Nvidia GPU and PhysX is enabled, while the client has an AMD GPU and PhysX is disabled (set to 'low'), and then vice-versa?** **What determines whether a projectile can pass through a flowing cloth affected by PhysX (and hit an enemy behind it)** \\- is it the host's or the client's computer?

Is it based on how long a player has been alive or how much he's contributed to the team? Physical proximity to certain structures? Can a commander manually give extra resources to a player? **Third, is there anything the effects the costs of spending resources?** Does evolving into an Onos _always_ cost 75 resources?

It has 1.8 million citizen, 800k businesses and a small industry (around 9k). It's a thriving town running on a $4.5 million yearly budget. It's pretty developed; the crime and pollution rates are low, education and health are pretty high and it has a decent infrastructure (buses and rails account for 20% of traffic). The city is connected to many other cities, it outsources industrial jobs, electricity, water and garbage. It has an airport that handles over a million traveler. Here is how it looks like from the sky. It's pretty crowded: ![just a part of the city](http://i.stack.imgur.com/E5ezQ.png) And this is only a small part of the whole thing. But there is a problem here: Technically, and from my estimates, my city can handle up to 3 million citizen and 1.5 million businesses. But it's not. However, it has entered in a chronic recession that no stimulus can escape it. My only escape to the decline of the city is to raise taxes which only worsened things. Taxes for the poor are at 20%, and 8% for the remaining. Businesses have taxes from 8% to 20%; and the small industry is taxed 8%. When I started the city, the taxes were a lot lower, but since the recession hit (at around 2.0 million population); I had the raise taxes to face the budget deficit. I have tried lowering taxes for the poor which increases their number, and then convert them to medium and rich citizens. It worked for a while and made something similar to a \"business cycle\". But this plan no longer works. Lowering taxes to 0% for the poor now barely raises their number (though their number doubles, it's still pretty negligible to the rest of the city population - around 200k -) I have tried taking all taxes to 0; but this only ruined my thousands' year savings. The city couldn't get alive again. There are dozens (and maybe hundreds) of empty business and residential buildings that could handle a couple more millions of population. Planning new parts, making projects and things doesn't work; The effect is negligible to the whole. I think the solution is an economical reform but SimCity has poor settings in that area. **How can I bring my city out of this recession?** * * * **Update** : Here is an update with more relevant information. (I'm not sure how to get the file of the city, any tips?) 1. Earnings/Expenses: It's clear from the graph, that there was a financial crash followed by a chronic and slow recession. Less earnings, cut expenses. Cut expenses results in less earnings, that evil circle. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/diJYg.png) 1. Demand: All demand is low, except for the industry. There isn't enough place for the industry (which at the time was around 90K, but is now only 9k). In fact, the city rely a lot on its neighbors for the industry. New neighboring cities always have 100% high demand in High-Tech industry and fill any size of land you give. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4Ml57.png)"} {"_id": "57780", "title": "How does the Circle Pad Pro work?", "text": "I am trying to use the Circle Pad Pro, and while it worked for a while (and was pretty awesome), all of a sudden it isn't working anymore.

I have max stats in everything that has a cap except for Banisher (decreased banishment cost, but who needs that? If you're letting things leak, you're playing the game wrong), and Poison/Bloodbound masteries. Focus gives me 800% extra min/max mana, Replenish gives me 275% mana gain over time and kill, and Resonance gives me 225% extra damage. At this point, I'm not sure which stat I should be prioritizing. With a higher starting mana, it will cost much less to get more mana in the long run. Mana over time and per kill makes it easier to get better gems faster, and damage is...damage. I'm also wondering how much summoning I should be doing during certain parts of the game; how many gems on which waves, and what grades should they be? When should I stop summoning?

Each time you call someone, it takes $10 from your bank account (for some reason).

Here is my current situation: I am playing on a Xbox 360 and I am trying to \"Call\" other players (an option that is located in your phone's contacts). I have tried this many times with many people while I was: * In a party * In a private chat * In-game chat (no party/chat) Each time I tried calling another player (who also has a Xbox 360 since the game is not cross-platform), the person I was calling never received the call and never got a notification that I was even calling them. However, every time I was charged $10. I would let the phone ring for several minutes at a time with no response. _**Question:_** What is the point of this feature and why does it cost $10? For example, you can call Lester and he can locate a car for $100. Since I am being charge $10 for each call made to another player, I am expecting something to occur (i.e. the person you are calling answers the phone and immediately spawns near you).

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be that much documentation on how to use the AT rifles, and the game itself offers precious little feedback. So far the most detailed and readable schematics I've found are the ones on Tripwire's own wiki, but they don't list all the targetable systems. I suppose this question can be split into three: 1. Where are all the weak spots on both the Soviet and German tanks? 2. What effect does disabling each of them have? 3. How do I tell whether my hit disabled (not just hit/damaged) something important? **My own findings so far. Some are based on various guides, others my own.** AT rifles lose effectiveness over range, but they still work at ranges most combat takes place in the game (150 metres or so). Angle of attack is also important. Hitting an armour plate at 90 degrees can, in theory, pierce it, while anything under 45 will probably ricochet even off an unarmoured surface. Tiny sprays of spark are shots that don't penetrate. Medium-sized puffs of smoke mean something was damaged. Large explosions are just explosions, but strangely enough, they don't seem fatal. A crew member's death is indicated by a large spray of blood, but I've only seen that happen from other tank shots. A hit that damages anything at all definitely draws the tank's attention to you, allowing other AT soldiers a clearer shot. An obvious weak spot is the engine: hitting it once or twice is enough to blow up the tank. But that's only possible from behind. Tracks are exposed most of the time. Hitting the front and rear wheels on each side messes with the tank's mobility, but cannot destroy it. When all else fails, shooting near the centre of the tracks seems to do some damage, but can take anywhere from 4 to 20+ shots to score a kill. Also, I scored kills firing on these spots: Pz.Kpfw.

For example, this is what I've been doing when I arrive in a new place that I never seen before: 1. Place a light source (such as a torch) near the exit, in case you get lost. 2. Find a closed place (where you can hide in case of monster), close the doors, give that room some light and start visiting the rest of the place. 3. Make sure you get back to this place often to recover sanity. 4. Save your oil at maximum (for Enigmas you can't find out, when the creature is coming, when you have to recover your sanity quick).

The code in`TheCrashingCall`already detects`null` argument and does nothing: simprop.TheCrashingCall(Arg1) { ... if (Arg1 == 0x00000008) //<---added fix Arg1 = null; if (Arg1 != null) { if (Arg1 == something) { eax = Arg1^ edi = EAX ecx = EDI^ cmp ecx,[edi] ... } } } # Next Steps i get the _impression_ , looking at the stack traces, that `simprop.dll` is a re-invented XML parser (a so called _\"AceParser\"_ ). That would indicate that one of the xml files that ship with FSX, e.g.: * propanim.xml * propautogen.xml * propmaterial.xml * proplaunch.xml * propmission.xml * propui.xml are not what the parser expects; or perhaps a version compatibility with something in the OS that their parser uses. The real fix is to figure out which part of which XML files is causing problems, why, and work around that. Either way, the code appears to be referencing a `nil` pointer by mistake. Object1 { dword offset0; dword offset4; dword offset8; ... Object2 offset28; } Object2 { dword offset0; dword offset4; dword offset8; ...

You can have any two of the following relics: * Brigand's Glove: turns Steal into Mug * Genji Glove: allows two weapons, thus two attacks (affects Mug) * Thief's Bracer: Doubles percentage chance of stealing * Master's Scroll: 4 random attacks instead of 1, per weapon There's also the Thief's Knife item which has a random chance of attempting to steal.

Starcraft 2 has always a slight delay of around 200 ms, but if you play on ladder the lag increases, sometimes it is almost unbearable. I struggle with this as everything seems off. This usually means: * I queue a command more often, because I think I missed the key. Instead of pressing 1,s I enter 1,s,s,s,ESC,ESC. * I do not issue commands because I misclick and forget to check. Initially it looks ok because of the delay as I do not expect an immediate response. (e.g. I click 0,w to get +1 which is wrong. It should be 0,e) * Micro is ridiculously hard compared to my normal training environment. (e.g. my current Stutter Step relies on reacting to what my Marines currently do, this does not work with lag, sometimes my Marines do not even shoot because I click too fast) In addition to the stress of a normal ladder game I feel uneasy about my execution. So how can I simulate this kind of delay in a training game? I want to be able to execute my Build Order without much Micro, so I get my timings right.

From what I see on market these booster packs are new (graph only shows up to 19 of June). No matter the game it seems to always contain 3 cards. There are two actions I can do with it: unpack or sell. There is fancy animation when you unpack the booster ;) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/S0Tif.png) I'm not exactly sure why I got it, I have few guesses: * I got new badge, power player - this could give me a booster? * Because of new badge I reached level 10 - maybe every couple levels there are gifts? * It just dropped randomly for everyone? Maybe together we could rule out above guesses. It's also interesting from the point of market, to estimate how many boosters are there. With some games they seem to be more valuable than 3 cards separately, but that maybe only initial confusion."} {"_id": "125006", "title": "What is the base drop rate of Steam booster packs?", "text": "In terms of booster packs per month, for example.

Should I keep an eye out to turn this off because it's on by default in BL2 or no? * In Borderlands 1, the most effective elements are fire for flesh, shock for shields, and acid for armour.

How does this work? * Considering what I've seen of Zer0 recently, m\u00eal\u00e9e seems to be a viable play-style now. * I notice that health and damage values reach the hundreds of thousands. * Roland the Soldier was pretty much the support character, but it sounds like Maya the Siren is the new support. * In Borderlands 1, Crawmerax was the main raid boss, with a few others only worth farming for one drop. Has this changed? * What's the level cap? This and this Q&A say level 50, but I saw level 61, from a source that I trust as non-hacking. * When did the change from 50 to 61 happen? * Are there special conditions to getting that raised level cap, like in Borderlands 1? * Is there an equivalent of the Underdome in Borderlands 2? * In Borderlands 1, you'd want to judge weapons largely by their rarity, and only replace them if they're outlevelled by 6 or more or so.

To do that, I want to level playing against the Expert AI to additionally unlock the hidden Quest which requires you to defeat all Expert AI opponents. I have lots of experience in TCGs, both similar ones (WoW, Magic) and others, but my card pool is still very small. Now I've found that I struggle a lot when playing against _Mage_ with _Paladin_. This might just be personal impression or coincidence, but I feel _Paladin_ 's tricks available at this early stage just can't hold up to Expert AI _Mage_ 's. And I'm pretty sure this is similar in other cases. Honestly though, I haven't tried _Mage_ vs. _Paladin_... _**The Question:_** What I'm looking for in this question is a **matchup comparison** of the starting basic decks (below 20/20, slightly improved with random stuff from packs) paired up against the Expert AI decks, ideally _with explanations and reasoning_. I'm aware there is some subjectivity to this (especially if it's about the \"best\", \"worst\" or fairly even matchups), but the general **strengths and weaknesses** of each of the 10-18/20 decks as well as the Expert AI decks should allow some classification. I'm also mainly interested in _very one-sided matchups_ (in either deck's favor) rather than matchups slightly in one side's favor. _**Example Answer:_** I envision an answer to this question looking similar to this: > **Mage** > Exceptionally strong against: _Paladin_ , _Rogue_ > Exceptionally weak against: _Druid_ , _Priest_ > > Lots of damage spells can quickly destroy Paladin's and Rogue's smaller > minions. Druid and Priest can just heal the damage. > > * * * > > **Priest** > [...] The ideal answer would list all classes, list matchups that are not as arbitrary and probably wrong as the examples I give here and provide an explanation that actually makes sense.

From what I have understood, its some kind of damage multiplier. However, I'm planning to do a 1999-mode run after this one, so I decided to ask it here - 1. How much is the damage multiplier? I'm guessing 2x, since on Normal I kill almost everything with 1 head shot anyway. But then, IIRC, in the original Bioshock Electro Bolt increased damage to 400%, so maybe its more than 2x. 2. How long does the enemy stay vulnerable? Because the word \"Vulnerable!\" itself just comes up for a split-second. Does this multiplier stay on only as long as the effect of the vigor lasts? 3.

I looked through the crafting recipes I got and the closest I have are these: * Sovereign Ascended Bracers * Sovereign Ascended Gauntlets But neither of these produced an item that fit those recipes, they created rare items that was named something else entirely. I thought perhaps that any item named \"XXX Ascended Gauntlets\" would fit the gauntlets, but then I haven't really been able to find or craft an item that is called that so I'm not entirely sure. Since the crafting recipes for those Sovereign items require Death's Breath which I'd rather not waste, I'm asking here instead of just crafting X items to see if one of them might have the right name/requirements. So what will fit those recipes? Do I have to start farming level 70 content for white items for this? Will they drop? Is there somewhere/somehow I can up the ante for this? * * * **Edit:** Scrolling to the bottom of the two webpages linked above for the Sovereign recipes, I can see that they are listed as materials for those recipes I ask about, yet when I crafted an item from each I got items named something else, and that apparently didn't fulfill the criteria for those recipes.

A lot of what's encountered is tangentially explained in characters' journals. The \"puzzles\" feel like they've sprung naturally from the world rather than being some arbitrary obstacle in a video game. The result (IMO) is a rich, immersive and impressively woven narrative. For instance Gehn's laboratory journal explains the significance of the nearby frog-catching device, . However, from the same lab journal (entry 83.5.14) he writes > I have been cataloging the \u201cnatural\u201d elements of this Age for nearly thirty > years now, yet still I continue to find evidence of the D\u2019ni\u2019s preoccupation > with Five. As a boy, it was very clear to me that the number five had a > special significance to the D\u2019ni society \u2014 from the ancient heraldic emblems > of the ruling elite to the humble homes of the commoners, it was ubiquitous. > Its presence here is obviously a direct reflection of the minds that > designed the texts that I used to compose this Age.

Although superficially it is based on a six > color system, I am convinced that there has to be a deeper connection to > Five. I will continue to investigate. On Riven, the number system and the letter system are based on the \"power of Five\", so the six-symbol colour system really stands out. Here it is by the way: ![Riven's six-symbol colour system](http://i.stack.imgur.com/PXMKe.gif) These symbols appear on the five spinning domes--presumably constructed by Gehn--that contain linking books to his age. However there is five \"transitional\" symbols connecting each pair of the original six, resulting in 6x6=36 total symbols on each dome. ![The symbols on each spinning dome, with corresponding colour](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6Gf0W.png) So unlike everything else, the colours are based on a system of six, and Gehn seems to be going along with it despite his preoccupation with the \"power of Five\". It wouldn't be so hard to have a five-colour system--just remove orange. In fact Newton's famous ROYGBIV spectrum was originally five colours (RYGBV) before he added orange and indigo to obtain symmetry with seven-note musical scales (octaves). It just seems to simple to be overlooked by the developers, who went to the trouble of making up their own language etc. For me the worst part is the marbles puzzle. Each of the five spinning domes is associated with a colour, and you can determine four of them through the nearby viewfinders. However the fifth is inaccessible until after you solve the puzzle (to the best of my knowledge) so you end up having to _guess_ the final colour (granted, from only two choices). Maybe it's not a big deal, but you can solve every other puzzle in the game with zero guessing, so to me it sticks out like a sore thumb. To summarise, my questions are: 1. Is there in fact a way to determine the fifth colour without guessing? 2. Is there a significance to the sixth, unused colour? 3. Why are the colours based on a system of six instead of five? 4. Is there even a strong link between D'ni and the power of Five, or is Gehn seeing patterns where none exist?

Curious, I set about my own tests: a lever next to a repeater failed, multiple times, to create a \"stuck\" repeater; creating my own, identical, clock, also failed. Thus leading me to my question: Under what circumstances will redstone repeaters become \"stuck\" in the on position (and if it only sometime occurs, what seems to be the probability)? (It may help to consider that this does not (to the best of my knowledge) occur in single player.) Information on fixes is also appreciated."} {"_id": "46903", "title": "What should be my objectives when going to war with another civ?", "text": "In Civ4, going to war with a more powerful army than your neighbors' was quite profitable. If a neighboring civ started to expand into your territory, you could go to war and raze their cities to free up some land and claim it later with a settler; or you could take over the city. In both cases, claiming more land counted towards global domination victory (the one where you own more than 80% of land, IIRC). In Civ5, war does not seem so much profitable. There's a heavy penalty for annexing cities; and large empires are much harder to manage than in the previous game. When I have a larger and more powerful army than the other civs, I can see that going to war can have the following uses: * Bully the other civ by hitting its cities long enough that they will ask for peace giving you lots of resources. * Kill enemy units in order to get culture * Buy the friendship of city-states by helping them fight off a warring civ. * Of course, there's the world domination victory and all your base are belong to us. But then again, all of these do not seem profitable reason and do not seem to make for the cost of building a powerful military to begin with. I feel like there's a purposed use to military in Civ5 other than simply crushing the other civs. Civ5 is not StarCraft... Right ? Questions: * What should be my objective when going to war with another civ ? * When to accept a peace treaty ? When is it time to stop the war ? * What's the outcome of a war that you call profitable ?

We picked the map estate as in the last section where we have to defend the generator, there is a tight bottleneck that we can focus our firepower & explosives into.

The targets for these challenges appear to be _exactly_ the same targets as their standard counterparts. For example, the `Testchamber 13` least portals challenge gives bronze at 9 portals, silver at 5, and gold at 4. `13: Advanced` also has bronze at 9 portals, silver at 5, and (presumably) gold at 4 even though the chamber is modified.

I have previously unlocked the Engi and Zoltan cruisers, playing mostly using the Engi. I have only played on \"normal\" difficulty setting. Selecting the Federation Cruiser as opposed to the Engi or Kestrel cruisers seemed to greatly increase difficulty but I have not been able to find any documentation on this (wikis) so my question is: Is there some additional difficulty setting that is applied when selecting the Federation cruiser -- or perhaps second tier ships in general? Please note: * I realize that different ships call for different strategies. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm referring to as 'difficulty' here is the strength of enemies and the likelihood of good things happening. My perception is that enemies are far stronger earlier on in the game when using the Federation as opposed to the Engi cruiser, e.g. a Zoltan cruiser with three weapons as first encounter as opposed to a no-shield scout with two weapons. * I am not complaining about the difficulty, I just want to understand what I'm in for. I never chose easy, enjoying the challenge of 'normal'. * I understand that ship selection does not alter THE difficulty setting (the \"EASY/NORMAL\" toggle switch) I am assuming extra pain is being metered out in addition to the user difficulty selection. * My suspicion is that the ships are organized in tiers, as the Zoltan cruiser in the same column as the Federation seems to unleash similarly levelled enemies.

However, I asked this question because my currently preferred primary weapon for fighting most non-boss necromorphs is a Javelin Gun (Telemetry Spike + Default Tip), which unlike most of the other weapons, is not that good at cutting limbs. The Javelin Gun, however, is very accurate, hits almost instantly, deals a lot of damage and staggers enemies. A lot of necromorph enemies can be taken down by at most 2 bolts (if at 'Impossible' difficulty and with +3 damage upgrade chips at all slots), even if their limbs are _not_ cut off. So, **do non-boss enemies have weak spots that I could target to get the Javelin Gun or other weapons to do more damage to them, and killing them faster with fewer shots?** If yes, what are those weak spots? Do they have spots where they take less damage, too? Another reason I asked this question is to know if non-necromorph human enemies (foot soldiers of The Circle), have weak spots. **Will hitting non- necromorph human enemies in the head kill them instantly or faster?** (Even if I'm not using a Javelin Gun.) Will hitting them in the limbs do less damage?"} {"_id": "79779", "title": "How to equip Serana?", "text": "I've been trying to give her some new armour and the like and she doesn't seem to want to wear it over her default armour.

(23 \u00bd is the same, and 24 blocks will simply kill them.) I\u2019ve heard that this is due to zombies having \u201carmor\u201d (not visible armor, evidently) that has to be broken first (or perhaps it has something to do with the effects of rounding on armor damage reduction). **How can I automatically soften up the zombies a little bit more so that they only take one punch to kill** , preferably in a way which _ends_ in a drop of at least 11 blocks? The mechanism must be fully automatic and accept zombies arriving through a water stream. It's OK if the occasional real-visible-armor-carrying zombie still takes extra hits. * * * What _doesn't_ work: Fall damage and suffocation damage seem not to be able to \u201cremove the armor\u201d: I have not found any combination of two falling stages, or 1 tick of suffocation followed by falling, which will result in a one-punch kill. (If you have found such a combination then I'd love to see an answer with a complete design to demonstrate it!) There is the possibility of dropping mobs through lava, then water, which seems like it should work, but has the disadvantage that in order to prevent the mobs from swimming up in the liquids (thus dying to lava, or getting stuck in water), a simple tube would have to have, in order: a long drop, a lava block, (another long drop? not sure), a water block, and finally another long drop to the collection pad.

Then, I clicked twice on the target system - once to remove it from the loaded route, and again to put it at the end.

A little bit later, and with the trace percentage still in single digits, I was in the account. I opened up my e-mail and sent a reply with the appropriate data. Then, I closed the connection and deleted my logs from InterNIC (InterNIC is always my first hop - I only delete my admin logon events, and the connection routing events).

Ratchet is unaware of this, and continues his journey with Klunk none the wiser. Eventually, Klunk reveals his true intentions (in Metropolis on planet Kerwan). Dr Nefarious explains that he replaced Clank, has a laugh, and teleports away, leaving Ratchet to battle with the transformed 'Giant Klunk' in order to rescue Clank. But (literally) just before this happens (1-2 levels away), Ratchet and Klunk infiltrate Obani Draco, an artificial moon used by Dr Nefarious to experiment with the Biobliterator. There they confront Courtney Gears (who is in league with Nefarious), and do battle with her, eventually defeating her. Klunk then quips: > \"One disposable Pop-star... disposed\" **But why does Klunk not team up with her?** * Courtney knew who Klunk was, having been part of the plan to capture Clank in the first place. They could've teamed up together and taken Ratchet out, making the point of Klunk confronting him solo later a moot point. * Courtney was a valuable asset to have, as far as Dr Nefarious was concerned. As a vocal supporter of Nefarious' plan, she could've been used as a front to promote the transformation as a good thing (and in fact was already doing so). As such I don't buy the 'disposable pop star' line. She was worth far more than was implied. * Klunk was in communication with Dr Nefarious (this was shown throughout the other cutscenes). Even if he wasn't sure whether he should reveal himself at that stage, he could've asked Nefarious for guidance. * At the time, Dr Nefarious was only really concerned with getting revenge against Qwark, and didn't see Ratchet as much of a threat. He idolised Clank (for his role in _Secret Agent Clank_ ), and that's what drove him to offer Clank to join his side in the first place. But he made Klunk to spy on the Q-Force in general, and keep tabs on their movements, as opposed to Ratchet specifically. Getting him to blow his cover, take Ratchet out, and fly back to the Starship Phoenix to continue spying on the Q-Force (whilst 'mourning') has no real downside from Nefarious' point of view."} {"_id": "124015", "title": "3x3 Slider Puzzle, is this impossible to solve?", "text": "So I was playing a puzzle app on my phone, and I couldn't solve a puzzle (I'd been working on it for quite a while too) it looked like this ![](https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak- ash4/p480x480/1002120_198137367013442_880728234_n.jpg) The bottom two pieces needed to be swapped, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get them to swap (unless I messed up some other part).

I've noticed that upon meeting certain people and doing a quest for them to earn their trust, certain things that would be considered stolen are able to be obtained without any trouble and are not labeled as stolen. Though I can't recall the name I remember there was a quest in which you sent a message to a woman about why mining operations were slow and that the shipment would be there soon. After, if you go back to the quest giver's house you can take all the ingots and ore in his house and despite it saying \"Steal\" at the bottom, he does not care and lets you obtain them without trouble.

(Ok, that's cool, I have free will and a lot of patience.) **But he has 4000 hit points.** Let me once again point out that my sword does 6 points damage. While it's possibly a nod to a shade's demonic nature that I must stike him **666** times to kill him, I can't help but wonder if something is amiss. To put it in perspective, if you assume you get about 4 strikes in each time you have a \"break\", _you need to break 166 rounds of attacks to beat him_. (Yeah, yeah, less scratches and stabs, but C'MON.) Did I somehow inadvertantly activate the \"Wish you'd never bought an ipad\" difficulty setting? **UPDATE** : It was basically a glitch. Perhaps I quit the app at a bad time, but what happened was that I'd been converted to the weak, post-tutorial character with 400 HP and no infinity blade, but I was still facing the tutorial characters who have 4000 HP like you do in the intro. **SOLUTION** : You have to create an all new character in the options menu under \"character slots\".

For example, I tend to find that cities with low population don't produce much of _anything_ unless I focus efforts on food (so that I have the population to work the surrounding tiles) and production (so that I can produce the buildings needed to specialize my city). Conversely, although I know that I should be trying to produce buildings that provide a percentage bonus (e.g. to production or research) in those cities that have high numbers in the first place, whenever I look at the economy screen I tend to find that cities with higher population produce more of everything, and so in my larger cities I end up building everything (as they have the excess production required to do so).

I've been playing Skyrim for a while now, and I'm up to level sixteen. I just resumed the \"Missing In Action Questline\" and decided to find the Thalmor camp. I haven't explored the area and solitude much, except for finding a few places. I fast travelled to the Haafingar Stormcloak camp and decided to head up from there. It is important to note that by this point, I have completed the quest, \"The Break of Dawn\", so I've been to Meridia's statue and absorbed the \"Elemental Fury\" word of power from the wall. However, I did not kill the dragon in that area at that time. On arriving at the Haafingar camp, I noticed a dragon flying around and roaring. It didn't attack me, or appear as a red dot, but the Stormcloaks did prep their weapons and look to the sky. I moved on and decided to explore the area a bit more in the direction of the Thalmor prison. I found that the dragon turned up dead, it's body near Volskygge possibly killed by the bandits there. As I passed by it, I absorbed the dragon soul. I reloaded, and tried doing a few different things: 1. Travelling to Meridia's statue instead and trying to get the dragon there. This didn't work out well. The dragon flew off, so I waited. It didn't come back in about 10 hours. I moved on to attempt two. 2. I reloaded an old save, outside of the Whiterun stables, just before I fast travelled (I'd just finished the \"In My Time of Need\" quest and had to move away from Kematu and Saadia to fast travel). I fast travelled to the Stormcloak camp and attacked the dragon there. I couldn't land a hit on it, so I gave it up as a bad job and decided to go towards an unexplored town. I discovered Dragonsbridge. On the way back, I found the dead body of the dragon near an intersection in the road and absorbed its soul. 3. In between these, I reloaded many times, and explored around to find the dragon a lot. I had no different results. > IMPORTANT: > > 1.

I was also wondering if anyone had a fix for this problem. As of now, I'm waiting ten days for the location to respawn (24 hours, rinse, wash, repeat) for the dragon to respawn so I can actually kill the damn thing. UPDATE: I waited ten days, but that location did not respawn. I have cleared Meridia's dungeon, so it may be that I have to wait 30 days of in game time. I don't know. The dragon hasn't reappeared, and I'm no closer to killing the monster. So, in summation, my question is, can dragons be killed by NPCs and still give me a soul?

Now the problem is, some enemies go down with 1, at most 2 sneak attack arrows. But there are many regular mobs (not to mention bosses) who have so insanely much health and/or armor, they can easily eat 10 sneak arrows, making for a very slow and tedious game.

I have heard that using any console command prevents you from unlocking any achievements for that \"session\" (variously, until you load a save or restart the game). 3.

I found three ways in: 1. The main alley leading into DRB land. The main entrance is protected by a couple of thugs (instant detection). There's some rubble and a concrete pipe immediately to their left that I tried sneaking through, but it was such a frontal entrance that I always triggered somebody's alert. 2. Moving down the street to the left (left as I face the alley) I come to some stairs in an alley that take me to a rooftop with sneaky access to the DRB zone, but requiring a 15' jump across to a DRB fire escape. With leg augs I'm sure I could make that jump, but without them I kept splatting in the alley below. Rather than jumping I tried leaving the roof by walking along some vent-work to the left, but could never make it from the vents onto the DRB fire escape. 3. Still further left down the main street is a door that leads to a tunnel with DRB access. It's blocked by large crates, and eventually I bought the Lifting aug to get through this way, but there are a couple of thugs here that always detected me. Am I missing another way in?

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

There was just a recent update a day or two ago (today is march 21st) and I didn't notice anything funny until I opened up TDS this morning. I was greeted with the Imperial Propaganda Emperor banner that was announcing the new challenge (decorator droid challenge). I was eager to begin playing. I sent my first decorator droid to decorate a level. After that I clicked on the Imperial Officer icon in the top right corner. The game popped up a message that read \"Tiny Death Star has unexpectedly stopped\" and it asked me to report or hit ok. I hit ok the first time and opened it back up and tried again. Same effect. So I just kept playing as normally hoping that it would fix itself with a patch or something later on. As seems to be the case, I couldn't leave well enough alone so I began searching here to see if others have had this issue. Then I got the bright idea to just restart my phone. Since the reboot, every time I try to open TDS, I get the unexpectedly stopped message during the Lucas Arts screen and it won't even open up. This is extremely frustrating. And I don't dear uninstall and reinstall the app for fear of losing all of my hard-earned data (levels, bux, coins, etc). I'm not linked on a FB account.

So I moved the data from my SD Card to the Phone internal memory. After doing that, I was able to open and play the program. But it still stops unexpectedly when I click on the Imperial Officer, or the Album (in the menu) or the Levels (in the store). I'm curious to know if I can reinstall just the last update as everything seemed to play well up to that point. If I could reinstall, maybe it would fix the issue.

Only recently, the last few months, has this strategy emerged. Me and my friends have lost around 50 games to this rush. We have found no way to stop it when the rush is preformed perfectly. When the rush is preformed perfectly it looks something like this: 1. Both Arbiters make their Temples first, after it is complete they lock their base 2. Both Arbiters start making Suicide Grunts immediately after Temple finishes 3. Arbiters make their way to the enemy base 4. By the time the Arbiters arrive they have around 4 suicide grunts each, which is enough to kill the base with extras left over 5. They blow up the first base and move on to the next 6. (see below) They regroup and attack the second base, followed soon after by the third base. (6) if the person who got attacked first has turret(s) up, they can usually weaken or kill a couple of grunts before they hit the base, requiring more grunts to hit the base before it gets blown up. This usually causes the Arbiters to destroy the base and then retreat. By this time they have eliminated one of your teammates. By the time you and your teammate get back up and running, you are being overrun by the enemies tanks. Things we have tried to stop/prevent the rush: 1. Build warthogs to try to ram and kill the grunts before they hit the base - fails every time because the Arbiter kills the warthogs instantly with the Rage ability. 2. Run over to the Arbiter's base before they let the grunts out and wait. Once the base opens Mac Blast the grunts(kills them instantly). - this fails because now the other Arbiter has a full army of grunts and blows up your base. Your teammates don't have enough time to get you another one and by the time your teammates recover, you are yet again overrun by tanks. 3. Rush the Forge player with full out Warthogs and Hunters - this fails because the 2 Arbiters have enough time to individually blow up all your bases while you are trying to fight forge, if the Arbiters fail destroying your bases and you defeat Forge, you win but his is extremely rare. 4. D-Bomb both of the Arbiter's pads when they show up at your base - this fails because the Arbiters retreat and just wait for the D-Bomb to go away which is super frustrating. We thing we have come up with to win every time is to make it a Mirror Match (both sides have the exact same characters). To us this really isn't in the sport of the game, why play halo wars if your going to play boring rush games every time? Here is how we usually setup the teams: --------------------- Covenant - Prophet(2) UNSC - Cutter(1) UNSC - Anders(3) --------------------- Covenant - Chieftain(1) UNSC - Forge(2) UNSC - Anders(3) --------------------- Covenant - Chieftain(3) Covenant - Prophet(2) UNSC - Cutter(1) --------------------- The numbers are the order of our skills (1 is the best). We usually have the best player play as Cutter because he is essential in stopping a rush (a well placed Mac ruins an Arbiter's day). Does anyone know of a counter-rush for this? Which characters do you need to be? Does it work on all of the 3v3 maps? All relevant answers are appreciated.

Clearly MOBS are a resource hog. If I have 100's spiders in my spider trap, or 1000's of chickens in my chicken farm the game is essentially unplayable. So, I've tweaked all the farms to reduce mob populations dramatically, and the iron golem farms have absolute minimal (16) numbers of villagers.

I got as far as Lee, but I've never won a single round against him. He keeps kicking at me in an infinite combo, which I can block, but every now and then one of these kicks is low and gets through the block. The other problem I'm having is that it's very difficult for me to do the special moves, I can pull them off about every 1 in 10 times.

However, in first person the character responds instantly. What I have tried: * Valve's tips on input lag * Disable V-Sync (`iPresentInterval=0`) * Uninstall all mods * Delete .ini files (reset to default) * Install proper keyboard driver * Unplug controller (still lag using keyboard) * Unplug keyboard (still lag using controller) Other actions still respond instantly, including jumping, opening the menu or interacting with actors. It's really just the movement keys. I haven't played Skyrim since 1.2 but I can't remember ever having issues with this. Same hardware as back then, too (GTX 570, i5-2500K). Any solutions to this problem? Could this even be intentional? Edit: So, after some getting used to, the delay feels sort of normal and is tolerable. Considering that this only affects the movement keys, I'm really starting to think this is intentional and has always been there, possibly to avoid choppy animation. Still, if anyone has found a way to remove the delay I'd be very thankful.

This was their response: > I haven't investigated the issue, but my first guess would be that player > movement, especially in third person, is driven by animation. The animation > system passes the expected movement for each movement back to the physics > and gameplay code, leading to the player moving around.

So, my new PC is: * CPU: 2x AMD Opteron 4238 (so, 12 cores @3.3GHz) * RAM: 32GB DDR3 * VGA: the same HD6870 (later nVidia GTX780) * HDD: SAS 15k * OS: Windows 7 64bit New games like Infinity run great. After I bought the GTX780 even Watch dogs runs OK. However, Borderlands 2 lags so much that it is barely playable (I sometimes get single digit FPS). It does not matter whether the graphics settings are high or low, it is slow. Much slower than with the 7 year old PC. Setting Affinity to less cores does not help. It even takes a couple of minutes to start compared to seconds on the old PC. So, why is it so slow? Is it because of Windows 7? Because there are 12 cores now? Is there a way to make it run good on my new PC?"} {"_id": "177066", "title": "Are there any benefits to having lots of constitution (CON) in Fire Emblem 7 & 8 (GBA)?", "text": "Although my question is specifically for FE8 (Sacred Stones), it also applies to FE7 (Blazing Sword).

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.

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.

Different packs contain different numbers of items and guarantee different numbers of uncommon/rare items.

The most evident difference is that Firetop Mountain is a play-by-email game, while Warlocks is played on line, through an interface screen. There are also some small differences in the games rules and mechanics. I had a deeper look at the detail and I found that Warlock have some alternative rule being playtested (like having the gesture DSF causing maladroitness instead of confusion or having paralyzed hands taking different positions), but that's just an option. Another difference that I spotted is the fact that, in Warlocks, Paralysis is \"as strong as\" the other enchantments and, for example, can be used to \"counter\" an Amnesia, while in Firetop Mountain Paralysis is \"weaker\" that the other enchantments and, for example, would allow Amnesia to take place instead. I spotted the fact that the four-gesture version of Lightning Bolt is renamed \"Clap of Lightning\", but that has no impact whatsoever on game mechanics. From a comment made by Pierre to this question (thank you, Pierre) I also gauged that summoned monsters can be ordered to suicide by their controllers, making this way Charm Monster spell much less interesting and useful for the game (when an opponent is about to charme your monster you order it to commit suicide so you won't see it fighting against you...). Is there any other difference between the two games? EDIT: I found other differences: -in Firetop Mountain you can't have more than 15 life points (if, for example, you cast a cure light wounds at yourself and you have 15 life points, you don't increase your points bewond 15, while in warlocks you can have more than 15 life points by using a cure wounds or similar. -in Warlocks, even if you are subject of a Fear spell you still can stab (what's the sense of this?), while in Firetop Mountain you can't (and it makes a lot of sense in my opinion). -In Firetop Mountain you can play 2 vs 2, with two (or three, etc.) mages controlled by you vs two (or three, etc.) mages controlled by your opponent (it's a nice variation of the game!), but in Warlocks this option is not allowed."} {"_id": "64821", "title": "Do tougher targets count as multiple kills in challenges?", "text": "In Prototype, challenges that required you to accumulate X kills within a certain timeframe rewarded multiple kills for tougher targets (for instance, killing a tank would increase your kill count by 10).

(maybe the occasional save getting behind a building or hill - seldomly works due to their attack from above). It is a great defense, do not get me wrong, but I also have the luxury of experiencing getting a lock tone, but no tone for when a missile is released ( or sometimes its an instant lock-missle away). Is this because it isn't heat- signature based to combat air vehicles? This is what I picked up online: \"The FGM-148 Javelin is an unlockable anti-vehicle weapon for the Engineer kit. It is capable of locking on to any ground vehicle within line-of-sight and within range. It can also receive targets via laser designation, allowing it to attack air vehicles. The Javelin's targeting ability can be hindered by Thermal Camouflage or Stealth, and defeated by IR Smoke or IR Flares. By default, the Javelin uses 'Direct Attack' mode, which attacks vehicles directly, generally hitting their front, side or rear armor. When attacking a laser-designated target, the Javelin automatically switches to 'Top Attack' mode, doing up to twice the damage by launching the missile high into the air and then hitting the vehicle from the top. Up to mid-range, the Javelin can be forced to attack from a higher angle without laser designation by quickly aiming high just before launching the weapon (and losing weapon lock). The initial booster lobs the missile high into the air, helping it strike from a higher angle even though it is still in \"Direct Attack\" mode. Similar to the MAV, the Javelin can detect and attack certain deployable devices using direct attack mode : \u2022 MAV \u2022 Radio Beacon \u2022 M224 Mortar\" Any Input / defensive tactics I should employ besides picking up stealth perk / ecm / flares?"} {"_id": "45743", "title": "How do you get to Northwatch Keep?", "text": "I am at Katla's farm (southwest of Solitude) and I need to get to Northwatch Keep for a quest.

Specifically, green means +10% damage and yellow means +20% damage. However, Engi deal 50% damage to begin with. Does a green level of skill mean they deal 60% damage (additive) or 55% damage (multiplicative). This question also addresses Mantis who also have their base damage adjusted. I'd imagine they'd work identically but whether the bonus is additive (210% green/220% yellow) or multiplicative (220% green/240% yellow) is not known to me. This question is agnostic between advanced and standard editions unless they unexpectedly vary. Edit: This matters more than I thought. Mantis actually deal +50% damage, not +100% damage as listed in the game. I don't know how I missed this for so long. The reason this matters is that a Rock with yellow combat will deal 120% damage with 150 HP (combat rating: 180) while a Mantis with yellow combat will either deal 170% damage with 100 HP (combat rating: 170) or 180% damage with 100 HP (combat rating: 180). Thus, a rock becomes the ultimate fighter even ignoring the fire immunity the additive case, whereas they are tied in the multiplicative case. I'm defining combat rating as HP * combat damage%.

The tanks can go without trouble and kill my ap, adc and any other threats to their damage-dealers. And they can protect their own while we can't do the same, since they are 2~3 doing the \"body-guard\" job. PS: Early game is easy, the problem is in the mid/end game. * * * I play solo queue in silver. Some games I lose because an immature kid gets upset by whatever and starts trolling. Some games I lose because my teammates don't have a clue how to play in the teamfight phase. Some games I lose because me or my teammates loose the laning phase (which is ok, you can't win every game). Some games I lose because we are being outplayed and outsmarted, which actually makes the game enjoyable (unless we are crushed beyond hope) and ends up with me respecting the opposite team. But what really leaves me thinking and frustrated is when I have a good/decent team, we get out of the laning phase ahead, and lose late game because we (and by inclusion \u2014 me) don't know how to deal with their team comp. Since season 4 start, it seems to me that team comps with double tanks + tank support (which is an effective 3'rd tank late game in this season) are extremely strong and very, very effective late game. To me it looks that they are actually unbeatable. So I would like to know how to deal with it. As stated I consider the case where I have decent teammates, who don't do stupid things like roaming alone in the fog of war, engaging on tanks or chasing halfway across the map after a support kill. And we position (I think correctly) when grouped, with a front line, a middle line and a back line. And we have some level of communication and coordination (as much as it is possible in solo queue). They usually hard engage with the front line on one of our carry, going behind our front line. And since their front line is so strong, this means dead carry, or at least out of fight carry. After that it is usually clean up. **Now before you start theorizing and preaching about which team comps counters which team comps** , remember this is solo queue silver, and everybody just plays what they know/want and at the very best they counter their lane. And the best team comp planification I can hope for is when we are at the last two picks and someone (usually me) says 'we need a tank'. So what I need to know is how can I make the best of it while stuck in a random team comp. * * * I would like general tips on how to handle this kind of situation, but I understand that it depends on particular situations, so here it is the most recent game I had: Their comp: * Rene, Jarvan, Leona \u2014 tanks, initiators * Cait, Malzahar \u2014 carries Our comp: * Garen \u2014 tank * Kha \u2014 assassin * Lucian, Lux \u2014 carries * Morgana \u2014 support We were all decent and not doing stupid things, and everybody was doing what they were supposed to do on a general way (but apparently not for this particular tem comp). We got ahead out of the laning phase. Mid game we still won fights, some fights they won. We were still ahead of them, we even got 3 aces, but we were too weak afterwards to take any important objective (as the respawn timers weren't that long yet). Going into late game, we still won a few fights, but it was clear by now that we were going to lose. We didn't have a solution for their 3 tanks-initiators. Late game they won fights decisively and took big objectives afterwards (respawn timers were now long enough). This was one game, but I had a lot of similar games where we started ahead but lost EVERY TIME late game because we couldn't deal with their tanks. * * * Thanks to the ones that read this quite long post."} {"_id": "156197", "title": "How can i install and play games that require Steam without installing Steam?", "text": "I have a bunch of games ready to be played but my internet connection is too slow to download steam.

First I setup a **Dedicated server** as mentioned by OrigamiRobot. This was super simple and meets my requirements perfectly. I don't mind leaving my computer on all the time with this running. To do this I also had to do a couple of other things unique to my situation: * Setup a static route in my router for port 7777 to the machine where I am running the dedicated server * Registered with DynDNS.org to get a domain name to be used with my dynamic IP Address * I setup the DynDNS account in my router and I was good to go (This is needed so that my friend can ping the domain name and get my current ip address should it change in the future). Doing that took care of my need to share the world file without us having to sync it between run times. Looking at the other answers, Kissaki provided me with the folders I needed, and I used flying sheep's answer about **symlinks** along with Tom Wijsman's suggestion of using **DropBox** to share my player folder. I use the dedicated server to hold onto the world, but putting my player folder in dropbox allows me to play as the same character regardless of which of my machines I am using."} {"_id": "66318", "title": "Where do screenshots go?", "text": "I want to ask a question about an enchanted item I've found, but I can't seem to find where Diablo III saves it's screenshots by default.

WARNING: If you have not played Slender: The Arrival, this question is loaded with spoilers. After playing through the game and playing then hidden glitch level, it seems fairly safe to say that Charlie Matherson Jr is Slender. This is for a few reasons: 1) You run at the Charlie Matherson Jr. poster to enter the glitch level, where it says \"I'm lost, can you find me?\". You find Slender, and he says \"I like you let's play a game\". Not only is this childish, but it associates the missing poster with Slender. 2) When you die in the glitch level, they place Charlie Matherson Jr's face directly on top of Slender's missing face, implying that is his face. On those grounds alone it seems fairly likely. However there are a few snags: 1) After you find CR burning in the radio building and get attacked by that bizarre blue creature, you find the \"?\" note that details how CR was trying to help Mr. Matherson find his missing son. In the note it mentions that Mr. Matherson is dead, but finding his son would help him be at peace. This means that Mr. Matherson might be slender, but he could also be that weird blue creature. 2) But the biggest problem is that you can actually find Charlie Matherson Jr. In the prologue, after crossing the bridge, there's an abandoned building. Charlie Matherson Jr is crying inside, and if you approach him, he vanishes. There is proof that is Charlie because you get the \"Cry Baby\" achievement for interrupting Charlie's crying 3 times. Now of course, he vanishes so it could be a ghost or just Slender in a different form. After all, Kate is crying at the end of then game but immediately becomes the proxy when you approach her.

This is my first attempt at an ME network, but I've hit a bit of a snag; I've read on the wiki and seen on YouTube that you can import items from machines using a Basic Import Bus, so I hooked one up to a Macerator in combination with an ME Interface to auto-macerate stuff for me. The crafting/macerating part works fine, but the problem is that the Basic Import Bus doesn't appear to be pulling the items out of the Macerator once they're done. I'm not sure why it's not doing anything, because I've made sure that everything has sufficient power (the network is hooked up to an MFSU powered by a Nuclear Reactor, with transformers in between of course) and everything is connected through ME blocks or ME cables. Could it be the orientation of the Macerator that's messing this up? I've tried rotating it in several directions and connecting the Import Bus to different sides of the Macerator, but that still doesn't do anything. I've also tried restarting the server I'm playing on as well as the client and re-placing the ME blocks and cables multiple times, but that doesn't affect anything either.

During my deaths as well as after the game I reflected on how to counter this, but came up dry. Some things I considered: * **Stop ganking** , and either start jungling or try to get my team to go into 5 man dota. This seems silly for a Riki though (to stop ganking). * **Buy a blink dagger**. Obviously that doesn't work as I'm getting hit all the time. * **Buy boots of travel** and TP out whenever I feel unsafe and/or after ganks. Seems a waste of money (I already had ability-boots) though. * **Use diffusal blade on myself when being charged** , hoping this would remove the \"charge\" debuff. Don't think this was/is working though? Besides: you don't know when you're being ganked. It worked only once to my advantage, to clear the dust debuff, but it seemed tough to pull off. * **BKB** to withstand the bashes (does that work?) and just go head to head with him. Is there any reliable solution to this situation? Can you counter a Spirit Breaker with dust as a Riki?

Now, what remains of my military is fighting the beast, but I am sensing their inevitable failure. Thus, I need to enact Operation: Grasshopper Blocker, which consists of me building a wall.

The book is found near her 'cage'. There is a sarcophagus, you will notice, before the dungeon even begins, and 'seals' that I ASSUME have something to do with the keys somehow, but I can't figure any of it out.

I have seen people requesting that their team have fully upgraded spare parts, but I don't understand exactly what drop rate means. (I use a deth cube, if it matters) Does it increase the chance of enemies killed by the modded sentinel dropping mods/materials at all, does it increase the chance of those enemies to drop rarer mods and materials, or does it increase the rate/rarity of drops from the sentinel when _it_ is destroyed? I wasn't aware that sentinels did drop pickups when they broke, but because the mod is named \"spare parts\", it makes me think that the sentinel itself will have more drops, plus it is applied to the sentinel itself, not whatever weapon it uses. Also, does the mod affect your own weapons too, meaning that any kills you get with your sword/pistol/rifle also have increased drops? I haven't seen any drop rate mods for any other gear, so it would make sense to make the only drop rate modifier be universal. And if so, does the effect also apply to your entire team, and if a teammate's sentinel also has the mod, will it stack (ex: you have +5 drop rate + friend has +2.5 drop rate = team has +7.5 drop rate)?"} {"_id": "106458", "title": "Is XMP blast falloff linear or quadratic?", "text": "In the initial game docs, it was stated that the blast pattern from XMP attacks was linear, yet the accepted best attack pattern was to blow them right on top of a resonator before moving to the next one.

This advice has turned up in my local area and it looks like it's surfaced on reddit and elsewhere. It seems there is circumstantial and experiential evidence that the falloff is actually some sort of quadratic equation, and that this might be a recent change. The current field guide doesn't seem to give any indication of how this works. Is there any confirmed (either from Niantic or documented experimentation) evidence for a quadratic falloff formula?

If the war hammer's higher damage output is handicapped by its slower attack speed, though, it may be just as benficial to stick with my two- hander. At that point, it comes down to the subject of \"play style\" which is really more about what you think makes your character look cooler and a lot less about raw, objective numbers over aesthetic appeal. I guess what I really want is a DPS chart for weapon types, but I can't seem to locate such a thing. Does a warhammer have a higher DPS than a greatsword or does its slow swing handicap its DPS to the greatsword level? It'd make sense if it did actually have a higher DPS. Since warhammers have a slower attack speed, the implications of missing your target would be much greater since it takes longer to swing, whereas a greatsword with a lower DPS would yield less damage, but better recovery of lost damage inflicted if you missed your target. Therefore, giving a warhammer a higher DPS would essentially make it the weapon of choice for players who have become better at coordinating their attacks while the greatsword would be the preferred choice for the novice since they can recover lost inflicted damage by being able to bust out another quick swing if they miss on the first try."} {"_id": "602", "title": "How do I make custom radial mouse menus in Left 4 Dead?", "text": "I have read online and seen screenshots of people that have created their own custom radial mouse menus to execute all kinds of different commands.

The only traits that would be related to this effect are: Alchemy IX Backpack Regenerator that gives regen when equipped with a kit, or the Tools IV Kit refinement which cast a spell or attack upon equipping. I think the latter is the most probable source and that the effect is some kind of undocumented effect. So, do condition removal comes from this trait?

A weapon has both a damage attribute (e.g., 2-3 damage), and a damage-per-second attribute (e.g., 3.0 damage per second). Let's say we have two scenarios: 1. You equip an apprentice's wand: 3.0 Damage Per Second, 2\u20133 Damage, 1.20 Attacks per Second 2. You equip a variation of this wand: 3.0 Damage Per Second, 1-1.5 Damage, 2.40 Attacks per Second. Now if you cast a Magic Missile (110% weapon damage) in scenario one, would it deal 2.2-3.3 damage? And 1.1-1.65 damage in scenario two? So this could be balanced by the fact that weapons with higher attacks per second allow you to cast spells faster. But in this case, it would cost more arcane power.

I am confused a little bit about weapon-damage based abilities. My minimum weapon damage for my barbarian is 1066. If I use Weapon Throw (which damages \"for 100% weapon damage\"), I will hit for around 15,000 damage. Based on this little bit of information, and the tool-tip supplied by Diablo, the damage is actually my weapon damage (1066) multiplied by your strength divided by 100, multiplied by the spell percentage (100). This all makes sense, until I analyze another spell (Earthquake): Let S equal 12.51 (my strength/100). Let P equal 2000 (percentage based on Earthquake) Let D equal 1066 (my lowest weapon damage) S*P*D = 26.67132 million. Based on this, earthquake should be doing ~3.3 million damage per second.

It was a pool of points that elemental \"procs\" cost.

A key point was that there were different levels of procs; 2x,3x and 4x, each of which did more damage, had larger visual effects and depleted more of your tech pool. I realized when writing What element types are good against which enemies? I don't actually know if Borderlands 2 has this. BL 2 _appears_ to have ditched this for a simpler \"X% chance of elemental effect\"; that makes sense, it makes elemental weapons a lot easier to wrap your head around.

I assume that one is not flat out better than the other for all situations, otherwise there wouldn't be an option for both. However, as someone new to the game, I'm unsure when I would want to use a flat rune over a scaling rune or vice versa. To that end, I am wondering the following: There are several different runes that give either a **flat bonus** or a **scaling bonus**. For example, when looking at Tier 1 Marks, I see I have 2 options for AP runes: * `Mark of Potency: 0.47 ability power`. or * `Mark of Force: +0.08 ability power per level (1.44 at champion level 18)` So, a few questions. If these are too unwieldy to be answered in a single question, please let me know. I assumed that these are appropriate under the broader heading of my title, but if they would work better as separate questions, I'll split as needed. 1. Under what circumstances or with what build goals are flat runes preferable to scaling runes and vice versa? Why? 2. Do these circumstances change based on what Tier of runes you are working with (1, 2, or 3)? 3. Am I wrong about there not being a type that is better than the other at certain levels? _Are_ there runes which are, by general community consensus, clearly better or worse than their flat or scaling counterparts (i.e. scaling mana regen at Tier 3 being clearly better than flat mana regen at Tier 3)?"} {"_id": "31468", "title": "How to properly cool Combustion Engines", "text": "I have set up three combustion engines to a quarry, all three of them are cooled by one pipe coming from two pumps.

I read on GameFAQs that defeating the Elite Four members repeatedly with the Amulet Coin was a viable way to earn some quick money, but this doesn't seem to be the case. ![Images of my Pokemon game before and after defeating an Elite Four member.](http://i.imgur.com/S8tXgtn.png) The image above shows before, after defeating the Elite Four member (with the Amulet Coin), and after entirely. (After step 3 below.) The pictures were actually taken after the first attempt at this. I dumped my money on some potions and tried again, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. This is my method: 1. Start battle with the first Elite Four member. 2. Defeat him. 3. Go on to the second member, get as far as I can until I die. 4. I die because I'm actually terribly under-leveled for how far I am in the game, so I'm getting EXP and money at the same time. Groudon is slightly higher than the rest due to being captured at level 45 and being used for the EXP Share. After defeating the first Elite Four member, I'm only actually making $2367, not the $4900 it says I'm making...This is odd, as 1. I'm using the Amulet Coin. 2. $2367 != $2450 (What would be the normal reward money without the Amulet Coin.) Does anyone know why this is happening? My only guess would be because I intentionally die on the second Elite Four member, thus it messes up the Amulet Coin because I can't leave once it's started. Is that the case? **\\--EDIT--** I was unaware that the Amulet Coin was supposed to be given to a Pokemon to hold! That being said: 1. Base reward money from this member is $4900. 2. With coin: $9800. 3. Upon death, I'm left with about half of what I had -> $4952 (I started with $105) ~~Is it normal to lose half of your money upon blacking out?

Plus, this may be a different issue because most people appear to encounter this issue after being zapped by Breylin in Winterhold, but this one occurred at random while being attacked by a draugr deathlord in a Falskaar dungeon. My character is invisible. I can only see the translucent, red glow of my Daedric armor. When not wearing a helmet and standing before misty/hazy effects such as a waterfall, I can see a ghost-like image of my character. I've tried the following: * sexchange twice in console. Character becomes visible, but goes back to invisible as soon as I close console. * showracemenu. Character becomes visible until I exit the race selection screen. * player.setalpha 100. Does nothing. * player.addspell 00030fbe. player.removespell 00030fbe. Does nothing. * player.setnpcweight 0. Chartacter becomes visible, but invisible again after I close console. * Become Ethereal shout. Player becomes visible, but then goes back to invisible. * Casting other spells with character effects like heal. Player becomes visible, but then goes back to invisible. * Becoming ethereal and entering a building. * Becoming ethereal and waiting. * Becoming ethereal and fast traveling. This one almost works. I appear to become visible permanently, but when I press F1 or F2 to load a new set of armor using SkyUI's hotkeys, I go back to being invisible again. I'll also note that you have to fast travel far away, not to your current location. * Turning into werewolf. Become visible for a few seconds, then back to invisible. * Sleeping in a bed. * Waiting for 24 hours. * Casting Shadowcloak of Nocturnal. This spell is supposed to make you invisible for 120 seconds. Instead, I become visible for 120 seconds before going back to invisible. This one gave me the theory that there must be some visibility flag erroneously set to false. Shadowcloak then toggles that visibility rather than setting the flag to false, so I become visible until it is toggled again. * Entering FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU in console. Did nothing. * I've come too far to load my last old save that still exists (I pretty much only quick save and all my old autosaves have since been overwritten).

* \"map =\" defines the fixed map.

In more complex maps, some attacks are 1-way, but not here. For this map, if s can attack t, then t can attack s. * The \"map =\" line has lots more info, but nothing useful for this question. * The \"armies =\" line gives the owner and number of troops for each territory (changes each turn).

This information should be sufficient to calculate per-territory per-opponent vulnerability. **Note:** a player may not attack his own troops. Example: * Opponent x has 1 troop on s, adjacent to t. * Opponent x has 100 troops on r, adjacent to s, but not adjacent to t. * The 100 troops or r cannot attack the 1 troop on s to get to t. * On the map below, player 1 is red, 2 is green, 3 is blue, and 4 is yellow.

Presumably it will be some combination of protection enchantments and other enchantments, going by the description of how enchantments work now on the wiki.

If this is the case, it would be great to see some analysis of how to optimise that choice as well. I've looked around but haven't found any good mathcrafting on this question yet. Furthermore, beyond protection against taking damage, can someone include some explanation of the hidden utility bonuses?

This could be tested on other Zoltans or Rocks or Crystals. * If a Zoltan is mind controlled and dies under this effect, who does the Zplosion harm? The original owner's team? The hostile influencer's team? Both? * If a Zoltan Zplodes in a forest and no one is there to see it, does it deal damage to the trees? (Okay, this last one is a little silly.

Despite using the same basic strategy, now there is a second stream of automatic DNA points. In all cases, my strategy creates a high Severity level and moderate Lethality level.

Please note that this is not a localized issue again, as piracy is a problem everywhere and this community being against piracy, I expect to get some good answers/ideas so as to complete my market analysis regarding this. **My own experience and some ideas** I would tell a few things from my own experience. Piracy is very common here in India. To be honest, when we were in college, we used to play lots of games in multiplayer, all with pirated copies, on our college LANs. And after we passed out, I hardly found any friends who had the enthusiasm to play. So, I was left alone, and then I tried to join the public dedicated servers (those which appear in the list while playing - in the game's interface) but I got kicked out because I was having a pirated copy. Then I started looking for cracked servers. I found a few but they would be either always empty or too far so high in ping etc. So, I decided to purchase an original CD but now the problem of high ping frustrated me. You may check my question for further details. I was not aware of the problem of absence of dedicated servers around my region because I had never played with original CD before*** _(See my point regarding this fact below)_. Then I decided to do something about this. Please check this question for more details. But I am not yet sure if I will be able to attract enough passionate gamers to make my local server a self-sustainable one. So, I want to make sure there are indeed good benefits of spending some money to purchase the original CDs and this would be good enough to attract gamers. Please note that there are passionate gamers everywhere. There might be lot of gamers around me but they might be having their network of friends and might be playing with pirated copies of the game. But, can I make this more attractive and target these passionate gamers. _I was not aware of the problem of absence of dedicated servers around my region because I had never played with original CD before_ *** I guess this lack of knowledge was the main reason I purchased the original CD. But how many around me would be unaware of that. In case, many unaware enthusiast gamers have done this, then they can be my target to join my server.

I know that from the **player** standpoint, all battle decisions are done on your turn, so you decide who to attack, and if the battle state changes during your attack phase, there is nothing you can do until the next turn. However, with regard to enemies, if you do a 4 brave healing spree, will the enemy attack you on that turn or on the turn after the healing spree? I had figured initially that the enemy just attacked at random, but seeing that there are items that you can equip to affect enmity, I wanted to figure out how I could get my tank to actually work as a tank."} {"_id": "34643", "title": "What is needed for a game's stats to be saved?", "text": "Last night I played a few games with my friend.

However, a problem arises when I went to actually set that up: I can't seem to separate the mods. When I start the launcher, it has both of our profiles (his with 1.6.4 with mods and mine with vanilla 1.7.4). What I'd like to get to happen is have my profile also using 1.6.4, but with different mods, but I'm unsure how to break up MCForge's mod folder into different profiles. I tried setting my profile to a different game directory (.minecraft2 for simple tests), but I noticed that it didn't re-download the 1.6.4 game, but actually kept using it from the original .minecraft folder. All it did differently was store the world save data and texture packs in the .minecraft2 folder. Is it possible to just copy over the `.minecraft/versions/1.6.4` folder to the new game directory for my profile and begin adding mods that way? If not, how does one achieve what I'm looking for: Two profiles using the same version of Minecraft with different mods? **Edit:** Copying over the `/versions/1.6.4` folder to the new game directory doesn't work, as when you try to install MCForge, it gives an error about a launcher file (or the lack of one). I understand the problem with this, but I'm unsure of what to do about it. I have my setup like this: I run minecraft from a terminal alias: `alias minecraft=\"java -jar $HOME/Games/Minecraft.jar\"` This works just fine, but this isn't the ACTUAL launcher, I believe, as there's `$HOME/.minecraft/launcher.jar` If I were to copy over the 3 launcher files (launcher.jar, launcher.pack.lzma, launcher_profiles.json), would that suffice? But that raises another issue: How would I get the alias to point to either game directory? Are you able to just launch the launcher file in the .minecraft folder itself? i.e. `alias minecraft=\"java -jar $HOME/.minecraft/launcher.jar\"` Would this create any security conflicts, or is this perfectly okay?

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)?"} {"_id": "125695", "title": "Useful steam from Baromatic Vortex Upgrade?", "text": "When using the \"Baromatic Vortex Upgrade\" skill of the rogue scientist, you get a buff of heat exhaust and are surrounded by steam for several turns as you move around. ![steam, no not that Steam](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ift4e.png) Is there a beneficial use of this steam?"} {"_id": "121537", "title": "Viewing TF2 server-side replay blocks", "text": "I'm sure another TF2 admin has tried to view the replay files stored on his server, to investigate a cheater.

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.

From looking at the list of control bindings there doesn't appear to be any way to do that. In Guild Wars 1 there's a target self that's bind to the `f` key by default that can serve this purpose. However, GW2 does not seem to have a target self in the list of key binds either. Is there even a way to do this that doesn't involve killing the target? For those wondering why I want to have to no target selected during combat, many of the skills work slightly differently if a target is selected. In particular, many of the skills will go in the general direction you 'point' at if no target is selected. However, if a target **_is_** selected then the skills will go towards that target instead. **Edit** : To recap, this question is about how to quickly, efficiently, accurately and reliably deselect your current target even in the thick of battle. While I appreciate the answers given by others, they all fail to meet this requirement in some way. For example, `esc` is too overloaded to be reliable. That key services duty as menu popup, closes open ingame dialog boxes, stops your character from auto- running and probably others I forgot about. The 'target nearest ally' doesn't work if there's no ally nearby. Even if there are, they have to be within a certain radius and your camera has to be facing them. Clicking on screen is unreliable.

Can Spider Jockeys shoot through glass or not? Is this intentional or a bug? Is it something I need to worry about, since they spawn so rarely anyways? (I've only ever seen one) 2. Are there any other perils I need to worry about with regards to using glass as windows or skylights?"} {"_id": "28182", "title": "How does a World Wonder look like in Travian 4?", "text": "I know how it looks in Travian 3, but I guess it's different in Travian 4.

One of my pet peeves with the final boss was how it's \"stages\" would reveal the more damage you did to it, getting it down to 3/4's it had all it's tentacles out but then I died, I came back and lo and behold it had all of them and had full health so I was being attacked even more than I was the first time.

Lets say you tank a turret with a teammate so you think you're gonna kill the turret in time before you die but then you realize you won't make it in time so you decide to run away or even flash out if the timing of the game is crucial and you really don't want to die. You are only one hit and right before you flash the turret fires a missile which of course follows you to wherever you flashed. But before the missile lands on you and kills you, your teammate manages to kill the turret and when the missile hits you it makes no damage. Now the same of course has happened to me with champion skills. For example I've killed a leblanc but she had already thrown her Q on me and it killed me even though it landed after she died. Or a nunu snowball or any other locked spell with a short delay. I'm pretty certain you can't get damage from turrets if they get destroyed in the meantime but as I said I can't find anything official. Can someone confirm this or point to a link stating it? I've always wondered :) Here is the wiki about turrets where nothing related is mentioned. EDIT: I'll use a picture to make it even more clear. If the turret in the picture was destroyed at that exact moment blitzcrank would take no damage from the purple missile heading towards him :) ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mBrmX.jpg)"} {"_id": "158547", "title": "Mount blade smaller map", "text": "Is there any way to spawn in a smaller battle map?

I haven't tried going zergling/banelings yet, but even on medium AI unless i have burrow I don't seem to be able to use my banelings effectively.

I've been really effective against the ai with harassing mutalisks, especially since you can get the AI to ping-pong their troops, but microing that harassment while keeping my economy going and teching up to t3 units is giving me problems.

Some background: I'm having difficulty balancing domestic output and city improvements with military strength and aggressiveness whenever I play at the Noble difficulty level or above. My preferred style of play is to not emphasize military strength, but instead to work on science and trade and city improvements. On the military front I build primarily defensive units with defensive city improvements (such as archers and walls in the early game). The problem I run into with this strategy is that usually by 0 AD or so there will be at least one civilization on the map that's got it out for me, despite my attempts at placating all of my neighbors. They'll send in a swarm of units, destroy my improvements, and take out a few cities. My only defense (sadly) is to buy/negotiate a peace treaty. I've tried playing the opposite way - building a very strong military - but in doing so I usually have to sacrifice building workers/settlers at the rate I enjoy, which slows my expansion. I usually last a lot longer but by the mid game my civilization is behind most others when it comes to technology, city sizes, the breadth of my empire, culture, and so on.

One way of looking at it is that the Mantis A is designed for boarding, and has already \"spent\" scrap on that strategy.

I have a **very** hard constraint: any the other spells in my build **cannot** be bound to the mouse left click button, so I am forced to have thunderclap as my left click. Why is this a problem? Let's review how left and right mouse buttons work: ### Left button * Can be used to move. * Attacks an enemy if you click on him. * Attacks an enemy if you click on him, keep the button pressed and move the cursor elsewhere. * **Does not** attack an enemy if you click to move, keep the button pressed and mouseover an enemy. * **Does not** attack an enemy if you click an enemy, kill it, keep the button pressed and mouseover another enemy. ### Right button * Can be used to move. * Attacks an enemy if you click on him. * Attacks an enemy if you clock on him, keep the button pressed and move the cursor elsewhere. * **Does** attack an enemy if you click to move, keep the button pressed and mouseover an enemy. * **Does** attack an enemy if you click an enemy, kill it, keep the button pressed and mouseover another enemy. The problem with the stand still button to force attack is that if I am a bit too far, I will just keep attacking nothing. With thunderclap, force attack using the stand still key does not make much sense, and it feels very uncomfortable. Thunderclap as left click is a pain. So if I bind my thunderclap to the right button, it is perfect, I just smash enemies but having my right button always pressed, and my movements/attacks are optimized and feels comfortable. But in order to have thunderclap in my right click, I have to give up an other skill and put something useless as my left click. Does a force attack button or mechanic exists? (when pressed, automatically attacks if you mouse over an enemy, and moves towards him if necessary). In a sense, right click = left click + force attack button pressed. Do you see a workaround ?"} {"_id": "11104", "title": "Flowchart(s) for indirect identification", "text": "There are a lot of different ways of identifying items (as expounded here), and often it seems that several steps are required.

It looks like this would fall into rule nr. 3 (`a passive skill and an accessory providing the same effect NEVER stack`), but the accessory doesn't say it _triples_ the evasion rate, only that it _greatly increases_ it.

One of the ones I'm missing is `Freedom Fighter` - about delivering the intel about Cerberus to the colonists on Eden Prime. Looking online, I see there are three pieces of intel to gather when landing on Eden Prime: * **First** , right in the building where you first land * **Second** , in the building across the bridge and to the left * **Third** , kind of down in the back on the left, in a room with a lot of computer monitors I double checked to make sure I had all three before \"finding another way across\" back to the stasis pod. Yet, when I got back to the Normandy and checked my accomplishments, it still does not list the `Freedom Fighter` one as complete. Is there something else I need to do other than just gathering the intel? Do I need to talk to Liara to have her send it as the Shadow Broker, or do something at my console, or does some time need to pass or something, or ? I saw How do I complete the mission \"Eden Prime: Resistance Movement\"?, but it is just asking what the mission is (which I know: the three pieces of intel). My question is, after you have the three pieces of intel... then what?

Usually when I compare weapons it is maxed out at 100% critical hit chance (30 seconds charge required) and I have about 65k DPS, but if I disable the ability its only 25k. Here are the problems I have encountered: * Critical hit chance increased does not matter in a comparison, as it is already 100% * I do not really have 65k as this would require me to crit on every hit but my next guaranteed crit is after 30 seconds, as my base critical hit chance is about 9%. * Sometimes I have items that have higher DPS with Sharpshooter enabled compared to another item, but if I disable the ability the later is better (Which should I choose). * Sometimes people say you need X DPS for some boss (e.g. 20k DPS for Butcher) how do I know if I really have the required DPS? I make more DPS than the value with Sharpshooter disabled and less than the displayed DPS. Obviously it is very hard to calculate my real DPS as the calculation would be something like this. This does not \"reset\" the counter as _Sharpshooter_ does: (65k * 1 + 65k * 0.09 + 20k * 0.91 + ... + 65k * 0.909 + 20k * 0.091) / ((100 - 9) / 3) * 65k is my max DPS * 20k is DPS without crit (0%) * 100 - 9 = 91% critical chance that increases every second in increments of 3 (about 30 seconds) And even this is not completely accurate as I shoot about 5 shots and run away. During this time my critical hit chance increases. So here is the question again: What DPS value is more important for me while comparing items: * DPS with _Sharpshooter_ enabled * DPS with _Sharpshooter_ diabled * Some custom calculation"} {"_id": "31956", "title": "Can I bulk download Steam games?", "text": "I have a substantial Steam library, and a new computer with plenty of disk space.

First, the left analog stick would slowly return to zero after being tilted to the topmost position, but only if it's tilted far enough forward to touch the edge of its socket. Later it deteriorated to just drifting down from centre position. It does not drift in any position other than topmost and centre, or if I push the stick downward. In this specific case, the gamepad is a Saitek Cyborg V5 Rumblepad, which allows to flip the stick and d-pad around. Drifting is observed in both possible configurations. I tested it on two different computers, both display similar readings. What can cause such a problem, and how can it be fixed, if at all? I've finally gotten a replacement of same make and model. I put the new stick- and-d-pad module in the old gamepad, and it's working fine. Therefore, the analog stick itself is likely the problem, not the rest of the gamepad or connection between the two parts. Since that even before this, I lost another gamepad (completely different model and manufacturer, much cheaper) to the same malfunction, I now have reasons to believe that the majority of analog stick modules themselves - like the bit for the Arduino, pictured below - is manufactured by a single entity, and quality control is handled by the gamepad manufacturers themselves. But I digress. ![analog stick joystick module](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uGmkW.jpg) I'm now curious about how this thing works (description for the same Arduino part at http://www.tinkerkit.com/joystick/ says it's a pair of potentiometers - simple enough), how it can be disassembled, maintained, repaired and reassembled, if at all."} {"_id": "173663", "title": "Can you check if a PSN code is valid without redeeming it?", "text": "I have a code for additional content on a Playstation game, and I want to know whether it is still valid, but I don't want to redeem it for myself.

Stoneskin Gargoyle looks awfully deceptive. 4% armor and 2% stamina sounds great when you hear it, but if I think about it for 2 seconds I realize that armor isn't all that wonderful when you already have a lot of armor. I checked my stats page and that armor boost only ups my total damage reduction by an additional 1%. Stamina is nice, but I'm not hurting for it and would much rather reduce incoming damage to keep healing consistent. SwordShattering seems a little weird with that Disarm preventing, but the 4% Parry chance appears to be fantastic. Looking at the character sheet, I can see it simply ups my total Parry chance by an additional 4%.

I have run across a dragon that is erratic in behavior. He just flops around the sky like a fish on dry land. I can hurt it with magic, but the more health I drain from it the slower frame rate I get. (I am on the xbox version). This is problematic for two reason. 1. After flopping around he teleports, making it hard to kill him. 2. He will often teleport into my area making it impossible to fast travel. Since the dragon _doesn't_ attack me, number two isn't a big problem except that I am getting around 5-6 FPS making walking mind-numblingly slow. What can I do here? I can't seem to kill it, and it shows up randomly. (The first time I saw it was at the location of the Frost Breath #2 shout. Ever since them it has been plaguing me.) Here is a quick video of it.

Cases I'm wondering about (are they the same, one better than the other, or does it not work this way at all): 1. If you own 20 properties, have 10 set at High, and 10 set at Low. 2. As close to a 1-to-1 ratio as possible: Cheaper house - Low rent, Expensive house - High rent (taxing the rich, giving to the poor) 3. Setting one wealthy town to all High rent, and one poor town to all Low rent (or is it better balanced in ALL towns individually?). Ultimately, I suspect that doing any of these pretty much equals the same income as setting everything to neutral, but I also think that may not be the case if you're setting the expensive properties to High rent and cheap ones to Low rent (which...honestly that's how it works here in North America).

Even further, when I log into the old account on my PC, it gives me no information about any devices being associated with that account, plus my wife and I deleted absolutely every trace that we could of Netflix from the Xbox. * I have also gone into the developer/settings mode in the netflix application, and telling it to forget my credentials has had no effect on my next login. We are able to log into the new account, but if we exit and start the application up again, we have to put in our login credentials again. My wife has an older Xbox that we were debating on trying to use, just in case it actually did end up that my Xbox is retaining some sort of information or Netflix associated the account with my Xbox and for some reason cannot disassociate it. When we tried logging in through this xbox, we faced the same problem. Has anyone else ran into this problem (it's littered all over the internet with no real solution), and fixed it? **Update** I had been on the phone with a Netflix support person for an hour trying most of the above steps, with no success, so they directed me to the xbox support. They had me do the same steps, and when it failed, they directed me back to the Netflix people. They had suggested that some of the netflix servers were having issues, but I don't think this is the issue for a few reasons: 1. When I do put my credentials in, it logs me in first time with no issue. 2. The only real problem is that Netflix isn't remembering my email/password, which should be part of the application logic, and is unlikely an issue networking. In the remote chance that it has anything to do with the Netflix network, I'm in Ontario, Canada, and it must be something where after a successful login, the server is supposed to send the application a message like \"everything is okay, you should store the users email/password,\" and for some reason, that message doesn't get passed or processed properly, and since this problem seems to be very infrequent among other users, I have to assume it's an issue with a server, even though it shouldn't be. **To any Netflix XBox 360 application developers:** The application shouldn't wait for validation before saving credentials! It should be within the users own intelligence to be able to save the appropriate email/password information. It's not good support to have this on-going problem for months. **To people having the same issue** , please leave relevant information such as your ISP and general location (city/region/country), as we might be able to collectively solve this issue. I am from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, and my ISP is EyeSurf. **Update/Found the problem, not the solution:** So, I finally got around to checking out the Netflix log, and I noticed this error: > SLPlayer|SilverlightNccpErrorHandler|Warning|Nccp AuthenticationRenewal > transaction failure, new credentials requested, Code: 3037, Description: > XUID is not associated with any customer I did a google search for this error code and message, and only found one relevant post where the user is still stuck in the situation I am. **Update May 29, 2013** There was a Netflix update about a week or so ago, and since that update, my credentials have saved to my xbox live account for the first time, and have remained so for my last 5 logins so far.

In my mind, it comes down to just how random Dodge is. **If I have a 50% dodge rate, which of these is true?** 1. Every time I am attacked, I have a 50% chance to Dodge the attack. 2. Incoming attacks will be Dodged at a consistently 50% rate. Past results affect future results - eg, I have not Dodged in a while, I will be more likely to Dodge. Essentially I am asking if the Gambler's Fallacy is true for Dodge chance. Both case #1 and case #2 would average out to the same thing in a long fight, but in a short burst case #2 is preferable. In case #1, a string of bad randomness will mean I could take several hits in a row without Dodging any of them (Dodge, Dodge, Dodge, Hit, Hit, Hit, Hit, Hit, Hit owww my spleen). If that happens, my Dodge wasn't really much use to me, as a bunch of unfortunate die rolling got me killed. In case #2, having 50% Dodge chance is nearly equivalent to 50% damage mitigation, as attacks would essentially alternate (Dodge, Hit, Dodge, Hit, Dodge, Hit, Dodge, Hit). I can expect that I will consistently avoid incoming attacks, and don't have to curse `Math.Rand()` for getting me killed. So, which is it?

I know that I can create an artificial Jungle if needed, but I'm playing on a large world so I'd like to preserve the large naturally-occurring Jungle that I already have, if possible.

I still have no idea how to use the data I have, though. #18: (partial quote) Can you explain the RNG/Seed info in relation to charm sniping? I thought charm sniping had to do with fixing the number of charms you get per run, but it seems its even more involved than that. #19: (partial quote) Yeah, that's pretty much it. There are lists that show how many charms give the best chances of a specific talisman in a certain table. You go mining and make sure you get that number of timeworn/shining charms and drop all mystery charms/ruststones/ancientstones. #20: (partial quote) There was also a GameFaqs post that addressed RNG and Seed info differently - timing it kind of like you do with choosing a Charm Table.

I was very surprised at how polished it is. That said, I've been playing mostly deathmatch (8-player free-for-all), and I've found SMGs and rifles feel underpowered. Sniper rifles notwithstanding, I haven't found a rifle that works better than dual or even single Bulls (the magnum revolvers). After all, the revolvers, at least with the mod to reduce damage drop-off, seem to have similar range and better accuracy, and while their fire rate is lower their single shot damage is better. Likewise, two-handed SMGs seem totally eclipsed by simple combos like 1911/M10, filling the medium-range gap with the 1911's (or other pistol with compensator) reach, and much more devastating at close range. Now, I've had moderate luck with the .40 cal SMG, as it seems to hold its accuracy okay, but it's definitely nothing to write home about, and all the automatic rifles seem to have horrible accuracy degradation, with slow recovery. The Mini-30 is pretty decent, but it's hard to justify using that over dual Bulls... although I guess that's just an indication that the Bulls are overpowered. It's sort of disappointing, since I like engaging in the medium-to-long range area, but rifles, which should be best there, are pretty lackluster. TL;DR: y rifles suck?

First you go into his dungeon and the light goes out, so you restore the light using a torch, then he digs a tunnel to escape, then you find a broken vase in the dungeon, then you cover up the tunnel he's digging, so he's forced back into the dungeon, then he goes to sleep, then you come back and he's awake, then he breaks out again, then he challenges you to a footrace in the Watch Tower, and then after you win you get a Silver Powder that's essential to make candy with Mizuno the witch. Now I completed all the events in this sequence up to and including \"The Great Escape\", where you find the broken vase and cover up the thief's tunnel, so the thief has gone back to the dungeon and fallen asleep. But for some reason, he seems to stay asleep indefinitely, rather than just waking up after you leave the dungeon and re-enter it, so I'm unable to initiate the footrace of the \"Ready Set Go!\" event. So what's causing the problem, and how can I get him to wake up? I suspect the cause may be that I've progressed too far in the game, while I was supposed to do the thief events earlier on. I've already beaten 6 of the 7 Evil Pigs, including the one responsible for the Dwarf Forest curse.

The logistics pipes have the property that they \"forget\" requests when the world is saved and loaded again. When a request is fulfilled by a crafting logistics pipe, an item is put into a furnace to smelt and the smelting will take some time. When I save and reload the world during that time, the item, or it's product, will still be in the furnace, but the associated request does not exist anymore. So the item will stay in the furnace. When I request another item from the same crafting logistics pipe, the pipe will instantly pull the already smelted item out of the furnace but another one of the item needed to produce the requested one will be routed to the furnace. So from then on, there will always be one item too many inside the furnace. This problem also happens with _Automatic Crafting Pipes_ , where necessary items may arrive at different times and there is a time frame where reloading the world would get some of the items \"lost\". There are also other reasons for this to happen. E.g. if a request can't be completed because of some other problem in the network, but the Logistics Pipes network thinks it can.

I've mastered the use of the knife in previous games and normally end up with ridiculous amounts of ammunition at the end. One of the keys to professional is using the continue points in the game to your advantage massively, in ways such as: 1. Restarting from a continue point when you've been struck too many times and thus used too many healing items / ammunition. 2. Walking through one, killing a couple enemies, walking out, walking back in to kill a couple more and repeat until you've cleared the room (enemies reset their positions when you leave). The first point actually hinders me quite a bit because I always end up feeling like I've used too much ammunition and restart to try improve on what I've done. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to clear a single room and by that point I've managed to do the entire thing without using more than 2 handgun bullets or similar. I realize this is pretty overkill, so I've been wondering - are there any guidelines around how much ammo I actually need at given points in the game? I always feel as though I'm going to eventually come up against something in pro that will need **a lot** of bullets to kill and I won't have enough. Also, which bullets should I be using?

I fix systems for people and some of them request or have Steam, so I reinstall it for them. However, I want to prevent it from starting up with windows without having to log-in with an account. I can easily hack the registry, but I'm curious if there is an alternative way to disable it without going that route. I also don't want to log-in with my own account; call it paranoia or whatever. :) EDIT: It seems as though there's some confusion in this request judging from the confused answers, so maybe I should elaborate further on this. I'm already deleting Steam's registry key from **HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run** , but I want to know if there is a way to get into the Steam client to disable/delete this key such that it won't repopulate that setting if you were to start it again manually. The reason for this is because if you start Steam again, there may be a chance that it will auto-start again (but I haven't confirmed this, so if anybody's done so already, feel free to let me know). **UPDATE:** Confirmed! Steam does not recreate the registry key. See my last comment under the answer I selected. What I'm trying to accomplish is sort of like a pseudo-sysprep where the user will get a freshly re-imaged machine with everything set at default values but optimized to boot faster without annoying programs starting up on you. Since Steam starts up for the first time with a first-run wizard prompt, the only way to get in and change the setting (that I can see) is to login with an existing account (or a create a new one but that seems moot if the user already has an account). I'd like for that wizard to stay where it is instead of it popping up with my own account being the last account logged on when they first launch Steam (it's just unprofessional), and I also want to keep Steam from auto-starting on my customers with Windows yet again. Maybe I'm asking this in the wrong area, but I'm sure there must be some other IT pros like me who run into these problems (with Steam or other programs). If there's no way to do it, then I'll just keep on trucking with the registry edits. Sorry for the level 99 difficulty of this question; I googled for answers well before asking this question and I realized that this is a very specific request, so I thought I'd ask the internet for help with it.

They are both set up correctly and have all resources piped in through thermal expansion tesseracts when they are low. Both of these work fine, but the problem is that when I have them both put on at the same time, only one farm will recognize the farmland, and the other will shut itself down claiming that there is no land to lay soil on. This is not correct, because I have had both of them working without any changes by themselves, but for some reason they cannot both run at the same time. Turning one off and leaving it as an intact farm does not correct the problem, however removing a couple farm blocks and restarting seems to switch it over to the other farm, but then the previous one cannot be re-enabled unless I do this again the other way. Is this a bug? Or do I need to use different types of farmland bed on each? I am using smooth sandstone on both, at the third layer from the bottom of the farms, and I also have a wheat farm with stone brick farmland bedding which seems to be unaffected. The farms are next to each other on the same vertical plane with about a four block buffer between the two. I need both farms going to produce enough saplings for biofuel, as I have a rather large liquid fuel steam boiler setup generating power for the entire world (energy tesseracts). I currently have about 2.5m fuel refined and the system automatically switches over to biofuel when regular fuel reserves run out, but I will need the biofuel system to be functional within about 4 days unless I find another huge oil reserve somewhere, and it currently only outputs roughly half of what I need to keep everything going by itself.

For example, let's say my champion has 50 armor, which gives damage reduction of 33.33% and I buy an item that gives 25 more armor; then my champion's total armor would be 75 and damage reduction would be 42.86%. That means I saw a 28.6% increase in damage reduction (damage reduction was increased by 9.53%). Now let's say I buy another of these items with 25 armor. Now my champion's armor will be at 100 which gives damage reduction of 50%. That means I saw a 16.66% increase in damage reduction (damage reduction was increased by 7.14%). Therefore, from the first 25 armor item I bought got me 9.53% damage reduction, while the second time I bought the item it only got me 7.14% damage reduction. It looks to me like it was 25.08% _less effective_ the second time I bought it. That _screams_ diminishing returns to me. Why would someone say otherwise? Would they say anything different about Magic Resistance?

This works perfectly, I can toss stuff in the chest, go do other things, then come back to find my gear fully charged. However, it _only_ works if the gear is completely out of power. I've tried several configurations with fuzzy logic upgrades in the export buses (which put the items into the MFSUs), so that any item with only a partial charge gets picked up, but I'm not having a lot of luck. They're not getting picked up. What I did was, took one of each item at 50% charge, told the fuzzy logic card to split the damage at 25%, which I _thought_ would have worked. I then tried the other options without success. Getting these items into various states of charge to continue experimenting is a bit tedious, so I'm wondering if anyone has successfully automated charging of stuff using AE2.

I would only want it to be lightly profitable, maybe making 400m isk per month, but if it requires a research alt then I would like it to be able to generate 600m+ isk per month to pay the alt's subscription.

Medium tower would need fuel every 7 or so days, and large 3.5-4 days. _edit_ I noticed I just earned \"popular question\" for this topic, so I'll update it with more info. I learned since then that you can have three alts for manufacturing and research on one account. A half decent POS can support enough slots to keep all three alts busy easily, even in empire. If you research your markets well, research your BPOs well, and get a freighter, or even multiple accounts with freighters, then you can stand to make 10+ bil per month, with maybe 1 hour per day of work if you have multiple hauling accounts. A large POS costs <400m per month in fuel costs, so even if you're PLEXing 3 accounts, it's well worth the cost.

Start the PC, and log in to Linux Mint 12 (although I'm pretty sure the same issue appeared on Ubuntu 11.10 as well) 2. Start Minecraft 3. Maximise the window 4. Have smooth experience at 35-45 FPS 5. Quit Minecraft 6. Start Minecraft again 7. Maximise the window At this point I'd expect Minecraft to behave in the same way as before, but there's an important difference: Most of the time (but _not_ all of the time) when starting Minecraft the second and subsequent times after logging in, even the title screen will be choppy, looking like a movie player dropping frames all the time. The tilted text on the main screen doesn't bounce smoothly, the background doesn't pan smoothly, and the game doesn't play smoothly. The last bit is the most puzzling: **It still reports 35-45 FPS** , but it's clearly not displaying at that rate. Also, it still seems as smooth as before if I restore the original window size. This \"lag\" doesn't happen every time I start Minecraft, so sometimes it's enough to just restart it a couple times, maximise, and see if the title screen is animating smoothly. The fact that Minecraft reports 35-45 FPS, I've got the latest ATI drivers (and saw this issue on earlier versions as well), and that I've had some complete hangs when maximising a lagging Minecraft window (only `AltGr`-`SysRq`-`R``E``I``S``U``B` worked, not even `Ctrl`-`Alt`-`F1`), leads me to believe that the window manager, X or graphics driver is to blame.

With _Super Mario World_ , one has a model number of **SNS-MW-USA** while the other is **SNS-MW-USA-1**. The text label on the former also takes up the whole edge of the cartridge, while the text on the edge of the latter is shorter. With _Super Mario 64_ , one is labeled **NUS-NSME-USA** while the other is labeled **NUS-NSME-USA-1** and has a \"Players Choice Million Seller\" seal on the label. Logic says that the ones with the **-1** suffix are newer revisions of the game with bug-fixes or whatever, but I don't know for sure. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and which is the better one to keep? Thanks a lot. **Update** I just noticed a few more differences between the SNES cartridges. On the back, the **-1** one has _SNS-USA/CAN_ where the other one has just _SNS-USA_. Also, The older one has five notes/instructions/warnings (in English), while the newer one has only two in each of English and Spanish. The older one has a **20** stamped in black next to \"Important\" while the **-1** one has **27**. Finally, the **-1** one has an additional patent listed. (The N64 cartridges have identical backs.) I guess that the ones with a **-1** suffix are indeed newer. I still wonder if there is any change to the software itself.

What I'm trying to do with this question is provide a sort of foundation for picking my support champion for an ADC champion or even vice versa what ADC should I go with certain support champions. I ask this because of the key role support plays, as games are won and lost in the hands of a support just as easily as they are with any role in LoL. Support plays such a big role early game for Bot Lane that overlooking the importance will cause you too fail repeatedly. I do my best to pick support champions (I prefer meta support champions) that I have done well with in a certain ADC/Support combo. I will mention one of my favorite combinations being Leona and Twitch. Twitch usually being a weaker ADC (atleast in my eyes) combined with the awsome power that is Leona allows me to feed him repeatedly, and not until yesterday did I find myself doubting my knowledge of the support roll. Lets just say I did awful, one of my worst games with Leona, the weird part being the mistakes I made weren't all that severe, mistakes like harassing to hard, causing us to lose the trade and be forced to tower hug till a jungler saves us. We basically just got outplayed and for some reason those are the hardest loses to swallow. Anyways, I started to think \"why am I playing this support champion just because I have done well with this support/adc combo in the past\". I started to do this a lot when playing League of Legends as I had recently watched a video about elo hell where the guy talked about the only thing that holds players back is their refusal to take blame for their own mistakes in a game and blame everything else. Having been consistanly stuck around 1000 elo last season with over 100 games played in ranked, I had lost all hope of ever getting anywhere close to 1250 or 1500 for that matter. Getting back on track now, I go back to my thought about support/ADC combos. I realized that I need to start picking support champions to play to an ADCs weakness and/or strength. An example I will mention is the Vayne/Nunu, which to me is probably the deadliest bot lane combination. Nunu having huge sustain and harass abilities allows vayne to lay back and CS all day and if engaged in a 2v2, Nunu gives an attack speed boost that makes Vayne tear through even the tankiest of supports. Not to mention Vayne being the strongest late game ADC in LoL, some people would debate Corki being the best late game (semantics really). Now to get to my question, I would like to start picking support champions that mesh well with an ADC. Support Champs that cover an ADCs weakness or plays to their strengths, or both. I think counterpicks bot lane to be a mere myth and really never decides the outcome of the game. I'm convinced ADC/Support combinations to be the real path to winning."} {"_id": "45926", "title": "Steam won't start in Offline Mode", "text": "> **Possible Duplicate:** > Is there any way to start Steam in offline mode without logging in first?

However, to protect a few things, I of course need a couple of plugins. (Particularly this is to use WorldGuard to protect specific areas that were complex to build. I can always restore from backup, but if a lot of time passes before I notice a problem then that's not really a win.) While I can use WorldGuard to accomplish what I need, I would prefer if it's a base game for other players. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? The closest thing I could find was this question, particularly the top two answers. The accepted answer looks good, but it seems to just disable the _listing_ of plugins and not the actual interaction with them. A user could still simply try various commands and find the plugins. The next answer involves aliasing several things to the `/help` command, which also helps. However, I'd also have to build a custom `/help` response and alias all possible commands (plugins included) except the base commands, and I don't have those lists of commands. It also seems like a losing game, especially if an update changes/creates commands. Additionally, it looks like I'd be overriding the commands for myself as well, which isn't desired. Is there any way to achieve what I'm trying to do? I just want WorldEdit/WorldGuard to be entirely unknown/inaccessible to other users so they just have a base game (and can petition me to \"protect\" areas they want to protect). Or am I going about this all wrong? I've only ever played the base game, no mods, and have only ever played locally. So I'm very much in uncharted territory with mods.

You could find wanted signs everywhere to rip down for a quick 25% reduction. Bribing heralds lowered it 50%. Assassinating officials dropped it down 75% but they only appeared if you have a lot of notoriety. This time, pickpocketing doesn't raise your awareness anymore but purchasing places does (A LOT!) and there's a lot of places to buy. It seems just about anything common that you do in the game will raise it. To make things worse, there are very little opportunities to lower it now as far as I can see.

I've been playing a Witch Doctor for a while now, and have just reached Act II of Inferno. Needless to say, ever since I unlocked it I've been using a zombears build for pretty much everything. I have to wonder, are there any other truly viable builds for a WD in Inferno? I've toyed around with some other ideas from time to time, but the overarching problem is that the DPS just isn't there compared to zombears. No other skill seems to come close in terms of damage output, which means that even skills that let you stay further away from enemies don't work- it takes three times the time to kill said enemies, so you end up exposed to damage anyway. I mean, my build does work, but it makes me wonder: does anything else? I'd love to hear of a WD in Inferno who's managed with something else. My build is here. Comments or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks! ========== EDIT: Just to clear things up; I'm aware that there are tons of build ideas floating around the internet. What I'd really like isn't just an idea for a good build, but an idea for a build that can be _strongly argued_ to be better than a zombears build. I can't imagine a build that beats zombears for DPS, so if someone could provide some other compelling reason, such as increased survivability, adaptability, etc., _that's_ what I'm looking for. Having played other builds in the past I've always come back to zombears, so at this point I'm really not convinced that anything else is as good.

Something has to give. I believe that damage to death is more important information than health and armor counts. Maybe the health and armour count would be handy to have around to know what item should pick up first, but I believe a far more common scenario is questions like \"can I be oneshotted by a railgun this very moment\"? All of the points made in this quickly closed question do not apply to Quake 3 -- damage is distributed between armor and health independently from the source\u00b9. There are no side effects to having low health. In my opinion, this would also help understand what these numbers really mean. Say, for example, you have 25 health and 0 armour, then picked a red armour. Now you have 25 health and 100 armour. Quick: will a railgun (110 damage) oneshot you? [Answer: yes. Indeed, 75 damage are enough to kill you (-25 to health, -50 to armour). Good luck calculating that during the game\u2026] The only real downside would be not knowing what I should be looking for: health or armor. _However_ , I believe this is a question separate armour and health bars would answer more than adequately. (more on this below) Is there something I'm missing from the big picture? Why is there no mod that tries to do this? Is keeping different counters this important in Quake Live? \u00b9The only difference would be for the lightning gun, which due to rounding deals 5 armor damage and only 2 health damage. * * * EDIT: To make myself crystal clear here, I'll post a picture of what I had in mind: ![Please note the separate bars!](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2ARIn.png) Separate bars would answer the \"what I should be looking for: health or armor\" question, but the actual numbers (the \"count\") wouldn't be displayed. _Why_ would you want it?

How could this happen?", "text": "I finally gave in to my curiosity this weekend and bought Minecraft 1.1. I had largely avoided learning _too_ much about it because I wanted to play through it myself and discover things without the help of guides and FAQs. However, I had a very disturbing situation happen last night. I am reluctant to look through any FAQs to hunt down an explanation because I may come across too many spoilers, so if someone could give me a direct explanation without much spoilerage I'd appreciate it. ## My shelter: To start, here was what the main part of my shelter looked like: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xVwsM.png) The shelter was constructed of native (i.e. un-mined) stone and cobblestone. I had one 1-block chest and two 2-block chests with signs above them, a furnace/oven, a crafting bench, a couple torches, and a step up to a doorway leading outside. The top right chest contained various stone and iron material, along with coal, flint, charcoal, and gunpowder. The top left chest contained wood and glass material. The smaller bottom left chest contained tools, armor, and assorted bits. Not sure if it matters, but the floor of my shelter was actually the ceiling of an overhanging cliff that was around 40 blocks high off the ground. ## The incident: I had _just_ finished remodeling my shelter, having just filled my new chests and placed the signs above them to help me remember what I put in them. I was in the process of crafting some new iron objects at my bench when **BLAM!!!** There was an explosion, my screen went red, and my precious treasures went flying. Unfortunately, I didn't have my sound on (since my wife was sleeping on the couch) and don't know if there was any noise going on beforehand to warn me of the impending disaster. Luckily, my respawn point was close, and I managed to frantically make my way back. To my surprise, it appeared that nearly all my objects were still there. Most were sitting in the same spot that their chest was in. As best I can tell, I was able to recover nearly everything, with the exception of the signs and 2 of the 5 chest blocks. Oddly, the door and torches _outside_ were gone, but the structure itself was untouched save for two holes in the floor (marked \"Gone\" in the above picture). ## What happened? I'm baffled by what could have happened. I can't imagine a creeper snuck up on me, since at the time there was no way in (I took away the bricks leading up to the door). I've tangled with them before and their explosions have never outright killed me, just wounded me. They also tend to leave big craters, and there seemed to be too little structural damage in this case. The only explanation I can come up with is that I organized my possessions **badly**. Should furnaces not be placed next to chests containing combustibles? Should certain materials not be stored together in the same chest, like flint and gunpowder?"} {"_id": "118928", "title": "Which enemies are not consumed by the protozoid slimes, given the chance, in Duke Nukem 3D", "text": "The slimes that slither out of the eggs in Duke Nukem 3D do not play nice with the other enemies.

Sometimes that's not the case. b) Location of the respawn. The only thing about the location of the respawn I've been able to deduct is that if the radio is you'll get respawned close to it if that's your teams' radio otherwise you'll be respawned on the other side of the map.

Since this folder would be created on starting the download, pausing and closing steam, copying the game files to this folder and then validating game files would make Steam absorb as much as possible and just download the missing files. Currently, Steam downloads the files to `steam\\steamapps\\downloading\\` and then moves them over to the aforementioned folder once the download finishes. So first of all, what the final folder would be is not clear. So what would be the correct way of doing the same thing, that is, make steam use as much of the existing files as possible?

He's just so tanky. If I had the gold on Sejuani by mid-game I buy a Liandry's and that helps, however, this is rarely the case.

The game normally runs with 70-90 FPS on highest settings when not using vsync. But I hate playing without vsync because the video tearing is unbearable, so I enabled it. Afterwards, the FPS stabilized at 60, but the game stutters. This is especially noticeable when moving sideways. The only solution I found so far is setting the following option in `fallout.ini`: iFPSClamp=60 With this setting the game is absolutely smooth as long as the FPS does not drop below 60. But as soon as it drops to a FPS like 50 the game runs in slow motion, which is also not acceptable. Another problem is that this also happens on the lowest video settings. Some regions in the game are producing significant FPS drops which seem to be unrelated to the video settings. So these are my current options: * Enable vsync and iFPSClamp: No screen-tearing and smooth game play but slow-motion in some areas. * Enable vsync without iFPSClamp: No screen-tearing but game stutters even when FPS is high. * Disable vsync and enable iFPSClamp: Screen-Tearing and game play is too fast (When FPS is the double of the iFPSClamp value then game play is twice as fast). * Disable vsync and disable iFPSClamp: Screen-Tearing. So with these two settings, no option is acceptable. Are there more known configuration settings I could try out to get a smooth and fast game play?

These two cities were spaced nicely between me and the long, skinny continent that the AI's main cities were located upon, although I could have bypassed them by going a long way around. The fact that they were located in such a defensive position made me attempt to take them rather than trying to form a beachhead and invade at a different location. In retrospect I should have attempted to buy out a nearby CS, land there, and then launch a navy-supported invasion across the land instead. That way I could have had multiple AA guns to defend the rest of the army. I should also note that I was using Thal's Vanilla Enhanced mod which makes the small islands more useful than automatic razes, but it also doesn't affect air missions as far as I know. I did also forget that carriers could have escorted my fighters much closer to the invading infantry units. I had one of the cities bombed down to 1 HP with battleships and destroyers, but I could never get an appropriate land unit close enough to capture it. Even when I had my fighters on the intercept mission and a few squares away from the embarked land unit, every turn that I had an embarked unit a turn from capturing, I'd get a message saying I was bombarded and destroyed by an enemy fighter.

The obvious solution is a comparator, but that does not work for this as the command executes once and then fails on the next tick, resetting its successcount before the comparator can detect it. Ideally this output detection should also be pretty fast, although it doesn't have to work at the same frequency as the fill clock. The solution needs to actually be testing for if the command succeeded. I have tried some things with /blockdata and /testforblock, but no success as of yet.

This is in case one wants to be extra-sneaky when playing through it. One of the reasons I asked this question is because BioShock 1 and 2 had stealth elements and even stealth and detection-modifying gene tonics ('gear' in BioShock Infinite) like Wrench Lurker, Natural Camouflage and Security Evasion. Stealth kills can be done on 'unaware' opponents on both of those games. And certain plasmids (Vigor in BioShock Infinite) can make opponents 'unaware' or affect how easily you are detected (e.g. Insect Swarm). I was wondering if BioShock Infinite has similar stealth aspects in its gameplay. * How does your **distance** to an enemy, before they get alerted work? Can I sneak near a non-alerted enemy to melee attack or shoot him/it in the face? At what distance will enemies be alerted to my presence? * Do the **sounds** you make matter? (from weapon reloading/equipping sounds, gunfire, vigor effects to walking on different types of floor) Will crouch walking lessen sound? * Does **sight or light levels** matter? Can I lurk in the shadows? Sneak behind people? Hide behind objects? Being on a different level (a floor up or down)? * **Once you're spotted** , is hiding effective? Do enemies alert each other? What if they see a dead body you killed? * Any **enemies with unique behavior** when it comes to player detection? * Is **Elizabeth** also detected by enemies? * How does the ' **Gear Head** ' hat gear work?

Meanwhile, a wave of orcs will come waltzing through my defences because all of my traps are resetting themselves. I've tried placing brimstone almost immediately after the rift (brimstone is one of the few traps that kobolds will be affected by). This helps immensely with the kobold sappers (the one's with the explosives) because they're normally the first ones out of the rifts, and it sometimes helps with regular kobolds, but the problem is that sometimes kobolds come after the first few orcs have already wasted my brimstone.

Note that this problem only shows up if you've modded Skyrim.ini to reflect the sky by adding `bReflectSky=1`. The problem is that the sky appears 'detached' from the rest of the world when reflected in water. Rather than it being fixed, it moves with the camera (i.e. moves when the player moves in first person view.) When standing still, the reflection looks great, as well as when moving at a constant speed, but if you alternate between standing still and moving, or just tap a directional key repeatedly, alternate between walking, running, and sprinting, or even strafe around in circles at a constant speed, the sky portion of the reflection jumps around in odd, unrealistic ways corresponding to the character's velocity. It's hard to see when the sky is just blue with some clouds, but very easy to see at night, especially if you use the \"Enhanced Night\" mod. Has anyone encountered this, and does anyone know of a way to fix it? It might just be a bug that went undiscovered because by default `bReflectSky` is off. Or it could have been turned off by default because they couldn't solve the bug, who knows. I'll work on some demonstrative screenshots. **Confirmation and Demonstration** > I had someone else email me that has been working with the same problem: > > I actually did make a couple videos and the result with the free camera in > the second video is pretty crazy. > > As far as I can tell the reflection only looks correct from exact point in > space where the players face is when standing still.

That's all pretty straightforward, but I wonder if I should stick to Physical resistance or if there's any benefit to change to something else. Specifically: 1. Is it easier to find items with higher amounts of a certain type of resistance, or all they all distributed evenly? 2. Is there a type of resistance that's less important to other classes, so I might be able to get it cheaper at the auction house? I'm pretty sure the answer to the first one is \"no\". I searched the AH for chest armor wearable at my level (52) with each type of resistance, and could find pieces with 30 resistance but not 31. The second question is more of a meta-game issue; if non-Monks think that (for example) Physical resistance is the most important resistance, that means I'll end up over-paying for items with that.

My reflexes will never be as sharp as the teenage whipper-snappers who pwn me, but would a 144 Hz gaming monitor with a 1 ms response time be likely to improve my game? Or am I too old to benefit from it, and better to just work on technique? Currently, I have a 60 Hz monitor with 6 ms response time. I play BF4 and DayZ. I've been eyeing up a gaming monitor (144 Hz, 1 ms), but it's $400, and I'm not sure that it would really be worth it for an old codger like me. **Update, March 2014** : I ended up buying a 144 Hz monitor, and cranked my video settings down to get 100+ frames per second. It hasn't made me a vastly better gamer, but I am getting higher scores. It has also made games perceptively more enjoyable, immersive, and easier to play, as games now react in real time, rather than behind a lag. I guess I didn't realise how just laggy my old monitor was until I tried a gaming monitor. For example, helicopter control is much easier, and I can maintain steadier flight paths and more accurate turns because I'm not constantly over-correcting for the visual lag. In driving simulators, the on-screen steering wheel moves in perfect synchronisation with the physical wheel in my hand, and I find myself having to re-learn corners. If you're wondering whether it is worth $400 to get this relatively slight improvement in gaming performance and experience, that would probably vary from person-to-person and from game-to-game.

Your opponent doesn't know your race in the beginning and can't choose good BO from the very beginning, he needs to scout earlier (hart economy) or start from 'common' BO that can't be too scary for you usually as it could be if he plays SPECIFICALLY against your race. 2. Playing (and winning) random you will get almost twice more achievements: for example for 100 win as terran you will get only 4 \"Solo Terran 10, 25, 50, 100\" achievements. While playing random you will receive 4 \"Solo Random 10, 25, 50, 100\" and 6 more: \"Solo Terran 10, 25\", \"Solo Zerg 10, 25\", \"Solo Protoss 10, 25\" (some variations could happen though). 3. You practice different races, so your knowledge about their strong/weak sides could be better then if you play 1 race only. As a drawback I could say that you won't play your 1 race as good if you will play other races too. What do you think about? Does other races knowledge value is bigger then better knowledge of your \"own\" race?

Most of the Borderlands community seems to agree that farming bosses to get the legendary you want is the way to go, but the one thing I can't seem to find out is: **Do any of the mini-bosses (and therefore, their loot drop) scale with your level?** **Note** : In Borderlands 1, I could revisit say Jakob's Cove after completing it and the enemies (and bosses) had re-scaled to my new level. **Note 2** : I'm not talking about scaling when you start a second play- through (because I'm probably not going to), and I already know that the second play-through scales to match your current level when you start."} {"_id": "53809", "title": "Is there a difficulty level above insanity?", "text": "Just curious.

There are many questions here on Arqade about farming xp to get _ready_ for inferno difficulty; this question is not my intent. I am playing a level 60 character either solo or with a friend. In both cases, I/we are able to easily clear any Act in Inferno. I am currently running the entire Act 3 each time I play. I currently have a +25% xp gem in my helm(I know this could be higher, but this will just scale and should not effect the answer). **My current reasons for playing Act 3** : High number of elite packs (for early 75% xp gain) - usually around 25-30 per run High Density of normal mobs Highest possible item level drops I am not that interested in farming loot for this question, I am simply talking about xp. I rarely pick up items unless they are lvl 63 rares/legendaries, so I only bank about once per trip. After running through the Act 3 times, I am averaging about 8-10 million xp an hour.

Also, I have read about tweaking SC2 graphics by manually editting the variables.txt file. Is this allowed by Blizzard & Battle.net and if so which options in here should be considered for altering? Thanks EDIT: Since this question seems to be based on the computer (I was looking for lowend, midend, highend options) Here is my machine: > CPU: **Intel i5-2500K** > GPU: **ASUS Radeon HD 6850** > RAM: **4GB DDR3 1600-MHz GSkill** > HDD: **7200 RPM 1TB Drive** Feel free to direct your answers towards this machine (I dont know if this is considered high, mid, or low end)"} {"_id": "24913", "title": "Is it possible to back up a PS3 via a network share?", "text": "Is it possible to use the Sony built in PS3 backup utility to do it's backups over a network share, or is it only possible through a direct attached USB storage medium?"} {"_id": "24916", "title": "What does \"PvP\" mean in multiplayer servers?", "text": "What does the term \"PvP\" mean?

The problem only occurs with these three runes, I believe because they're the only ones which have attack speed factored into their damage formulas. The way I've been testing is with two weapons with different attack speeds (1h crossbow and a bow), but the same minimum damage. I then equip a ring with +16 minimum damage and no other damage-affecting stats (neither of the two weapons has damage-affecting stats either). I'm using only defensive passives and I have no other gear on. 1h crossbow: 3-17 damage, 1.6 aps bow: 3-9 damage, 1.4 aps These both become 19-19 damage with the ring calculated in. 187 dexterity 5% crit 50% crit damage RoV summarized: 75% weapon damage for 5 seconds to all enemies in the area; 30 second cd. When I use unruned RoV with the 1h crossbow, the damage numbers that display are 40 for non-crits and 60 for crits. With the bow, the numbers are 35 for non-crits and 53 for crits. I was able to backwards-calculate the damage by letting the full duration of the ability run on a zombie and checking the hp values of the zombie afterwards. I only did this with the 1h crossbow and came out to a total of 321 damage done when there were zero crits. I did check this multiple times, but it was only between 5-10 times since I eliminated the weapon damage range variance. So: 321/5 seconds = 64.2 dps 64.2/0.75 weapon damage = 85.6 total modified damage 85.6/2.87 dexterity modifier = ~29.8 weapon dps 29.8/1.6 aps = 18.64 weapon damage (including the +16 from the ring) which rounds to the expected 19. Now if I use that process in reverse, I should be able to get the per hit value of the ability, but the on-screen combat text never shows a number as high as what the derived formula says it should be (65 rounded according to my spreadsheet). So how is the game determining that RoV is only doing 40 per hit?"} {"_id": "173737", "title": "Can endermen teleport up a hill with overhanging edge", "text": "I am trying to build a killing spot for endermen.

When I do a 1v1 the screen shaking basically doesn't bother me. My biggest pet peeve is when you heavy smash a character and then he flies off the screen. It shakes at the hit and then at the exit from the screen, so basically you get 5 straight seconds of screen shaking and that can chain further if someone is hit and kicked off the screen right after that... it just becomes a mess in my opinion. Why don't we add flashing the screen to white too to also emphasize the damage, or blur the screen? The shaking just feels excessive. So was there ever an option or a cheat to turn off screen shaking? I remember my friends and I hating it during Melee, and just putting up with it in Brawl. I don't see why they don't put in an option to keep the screen steady. I feel like the game looks so much better in preview videos where the screen shaking appears to be off. Check out the video at smash bros video and set it to 9:53 and then 10:26. Don't you see the difference? One last thing, when characters fall to the ground in a disabled state the screen also shakes. The more videos I watch the more tiny things I notice that cause a huge screen shake. How can I be the only one bothered by this!?!"} {"_id": "121481", "title": "When to attack a strong clan?", "text": "When should I attack big clan like Takeda or Tokugawa?

What I'm afraid of is missing out on any progress I've made towards achievements and towards the endings. I know there are some achievements that you have to complete in one play-through, for example, Soft Touch requires that you disarm 10 traps. This has to be done as you progress through the game. You can't just load the same level over and over and disarm those traps to get the achievement. So my question is, will loading a level from the main menu ruin any/all achievements and will it negate any moral points I've gotten so far or does it act like an auto-save from when I started that level and all my progress will continue? **UPDATE:** I loaded from the beginning of the level and continued on. I was able to unlock the \"Soft Touch\" achievement (Disarm 10 wire traps), after disarming one more trap. I'll keep updating with cumulative achievements that I get so that a list of obtainable achievements after loading a level will be documented."} {"_id": "155563", "title": "How can I kill Kerbals?

I have the game Kerbal Space Program. It's fairly graphics-intensive, so I want to use my better graphics processor to play it. My laptop has two graphics cards inside, and when I right-click an icon on my desktop I get a context menu > Run with graphics processor -> High Performance NVIDIA processor or > Integrated graphics When I run Kerbal Space Program with \"Integrated graphics\", everything works alright. When I actually launch a rocket lag is a big problem; but that's to be expected. It's not the better processor. My question is about what happens when I try to run the game with me \"High Performance NVIDIA processor\". When I click that from the context menu, the game loads up a white screen in the window and stays like that. It simply hangs there with a white screen indefinitely. Now, I've tried updating my Graphics Drivers and re-installing the game, both to little effect. I was sure that it was a hardware issue until I loaded up Minecraft with both drivers, just to see a difference. With my \"Integrated graphics\" I was at a steady 3 frames per second, and with my \"High Performance NVIDIA processor\" I had a solid 30-40 frames per second. Some details: My \"High Performance NVIDIA processor\" is really a GEFORCE 310M, I'm not sure what the \"Integrated Graphics\" is (in Device Manager -> Display adapters I have a listing for Intel(R) HD Graphics, so that might be it), and I also have a NVIDIA Cuda card. My processor is a dual-core i5 2.67 GHz (3.2ish with turbodrive), and I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. This problem arose when Kerbal Space Program updated to version 0.16. Again, my apologies if this really belongs in a different place. EDIT: Just checked with a much previous version of the game (the demo version: 0.13) and this problem is still there. I went through logs and found that I updated to Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 right around the time that 0.16 came out, so take that as you will."} {"_id": "23565", "title": "Are light-level restrictions on spawning different in the Nether?", "text": "If I light up a large area of the Nether (so that the light level is >7), and give it sufficiently low ceilings to prevent Ghasts spawning, can zombie pigmen spawn?"} {"_id": "93736", "title": "How does Guild Wars 2 reward teamplay in combat?", "text": "Guild Wars 2 rewards other aspects of teamplay, like for example reviving a downed player which gives you some experience.

I have been playing with my Xbox on a computer monitor for a long time because I have no Wired Internet in my room (don't own a wireless router). Now I want to put it back in my room and plug it into my TV. So this is where it gets strange. I have had problems with some HDMI cables lately so at first when I plugged it in it didn't do anything, didn't even react. So naturally I thought it was the HDMI. I plugged it into another TV in our house and it didn't work there either. So I went out and bought another HDMI cable. Now, I try again on the TV in my room, and to my despair, there is nothing. A few things to note about my Xbox and TV here: * While watching Digital TV with an AV or HDMI device plugged in and running, the TV gets all glitchy and basically looks like the signal is dropping out. This is not the problem but something to note. * My Xbox is pretty early in the 360 lifespan, and is from the era of the red rings of death. My Xbox does not fully 'turn on' unless it detects an output screen. It goes into a sort of stasis while it looks for a monitor or TV to connect to, and if it can't find one it turns off after about 20 seconds. So, I get annoyed at the fact that a brand new HDMI cable isn't working and I take it to the other TV I have and attempt to plug it into that. When I turn it on, the swirly Xbox logo comes up and makes the sounds. So I assume I plugged it in wrong in the way or something on my TV. So then I go back in and try again and nothing happens. However if I turn it back to actual TV mode, I get that glitchy sort of chopped up image that lets me know that an external device is connected and sending information to the TV. So then I connected my Android Tablet to the TV using a HDMI connector I got for it. Plug it in _the exact same port as the Xbox_ and to my surprise it spring into life and puts out an image of the tablet. So I'm super confused. The Xbox and HDMI cable are fine, as I tested them on another TV and a monitor to be sure. The HDMI port on my TV is also fine because everything BUT the Xbox seems to be able to connect to it, including my Desktop. I also know that the TV and Xbox are compatible because I was playing Xbox on the TV about 3 months ago, and it was fine. I also know that somewhere, somehow, they are 'connected' because when I press X the tray opens, and I can interact with the Xbox (also meaning it's connected somehow because it actually goes to 'full turned on' mode, as opposed to not finding the TV and turning off).

And the really aggravating thing is I /KNOW/ I got it working once by some fluke years ago, but the results have been thus far unreproducible. The problem is it appears to me to be rendering at a constant, good smooth framerate but the actual game itself has weird time fluctuations. It could simply be that because the game slows down along WITH the framerate it only _appears_ smooth but it's hard to say. Looking at the mission clock it becomes extremely apparent, and the speed of the moving overcast sky texture is another good indicator.

We've tried the One Shot One Kill Android app, but it, unfortunately, only supports a few guns and rounds to 1/.5/.25 MOAs. We've also worked out a method for calculating the adjustments ourselves, but it's proven inaccurate. Our current method is as follows: To estimate elevation, the spotter paints the target with the range finder, relays the distance to sniper, and then he adjusts for elevation using the range tables built into ACE. To estimate windage, we use the formula `Distance / Muzzle Velocity * Crosswind m/s = Windage MOAs` where the scope is adjusted opposite the direction of the wind. The spotter usually does this calculation as he's the only one equipped with a kestrel and range finder and, depending on the stability of the wind, the windage adjustmant may need to be predicted ahead of time or recalculated in order to pull off a precise shot. So far this method has proven accurate at about 1000 meters. Usually we can aim center mass and hit the target within the first shot. Unfortunately, at greater distances (1500-2000 meters) this method has proven inaccurate as it fails to account for elevation. My question now is, are there any better methods for calculating sight adjustments in ACE? We've watched the tutorials, read the wikis, and poured through threads, but we can't seem to find much on the subject at all that doesn't involve largely inaccurate/unacceptable guesswork. ## Notes For the purposes of these missions, we have the following items at our disposal: * Sniper may use any NATO sniper rifle as long as it has a mil-dot scope and we know the muzzle velocity value * Kestrel (can be used to find crosswind and headwind in meters per second along with altitude) * Range Finder * Dagr (can be used in conjunction with the range finder to find elevation, target distance, and target elevation) * Spotter Scope (seemingly useless as you can't lase the target with it to find range) We have the following values at our disposal, but don't know if all are pertinent: * Muzzle Velocity * Elevation * Target Elevation * Target Distance * CrossWind Speed m/s * Headwind Speed m/s * Tailwind Speed m/s * Wind Angle (in increments of 30 degrees) * Altitude"} {"_id": "76340", "title": "I've been farming Inferno Act 1, but slowly.

Of course this would require Wi-FI so it seems I'd have to buy the gamepad with the console.

I would be fine playing with colorblind mode on, but I can't see how much health someone has without clicking on them.

It's clear that the founder of the Mages Guild was strongly opposed to the practice (third paragraph of this book) and just about all the lorebooks on the topic show it as having negative consequences with few, if any, positive ones (e.g. one book talked about how a dead child was resurrected using Necromancy, but this greatly aged her). Moreover it's referred to multiple times as \"The Black Arts\" and there is definitely a stigma against it. So why is Necromancy legal in Tamriel throughout the majority of the _Elder Scrolls_ games?"} {"_id": "63235", "title": "While traveling during his ultimate, is Nocturne targetable by friends or foes?", "text": "After Nocturne uses Paranoia and subsequently launches himself at a target, can he be targeted by either friends or foes?

Could you remove the debuff and then stun him in-flight (removing the debuff so you could actually _see_ him arriving)? The answer for this should inform on what happens when a friendly Shen ports to a mid-flight Nocturne. The fact Shen can even attempt to port a mid-flight Nocturne leads me to believe he's more-or-less targetable, but I haven't seen any definitive evidence."} {"_id": "167012", "title": "Am I able to store games downloaded from PSN onto an external hard drive", "text": "I have an 80GB PS3 from 2009, and the hard drive is almost full.

I grew to have half a dozen frigates going back and forth from Europe, buy trade goods, then return and sell to Indians. I bought lots of guns and armed all of my towns. My mother country eventually declared war to everyone. They also offered me to buy a bunch of dragoons, artillery and troops for only 2000 gold every once in a while.

So like this question which asked how important it is to settle next to a river, I'm curious: If your settler spawns on a hill, is there **ever** any reason to move him to another tile? Correct me if I am wrong, because I have only completed one _settler_ level game and now I'm running immortals and deity, but doing the math, a hill tile is always better. You get the additional hammer for production early on, which means you can strike out a monument 3 turns earlier. The earlier monument means that if you go the `pottery > writing` route, you can slingshot into medieval by getting the `Great Library`. I restart all of my games at about turn 100, but from what I can gather, settling on a hill means I get Liberty earlier, and get my Settler about 7 turns earlier.

You increase it by playing ME3 Multiplayer, and by playing an iOS game that acts as a tie in. The 'Readiness' score that accumulates from these activities has a _floor_ or 50 percent, which functions as a .5 multiplier on your troop strength as you prepare for your final assault against the Reapers. At 100%, it's a 1.0 multiplier. Straightforward enough. Interestingly, if you look at all of the available thresholds for the games various endings, they span a range of readiness scores that is _slightly_ wider than a band where the top end is double the bottom. If this had been the case, it would be possible to get to the endgame with exactly the needed resources for the best ending, and then beat the game at various readiness levels between 50% and 100% in order to see all of the endings. Instead, because of where the mathematical breakpoints are, if I wanted to see _every_ ending on one playthrough, I would need to finish with 3499 readiness (this is the maximum you can finish with at 50% GaW rating to see the 'worst' ending, which occurs at below 1750 after the multiplier), however, this still leaves two break points, at 4k and 5k unreached. **Unless** , it is somehow possible to get the GaW meter to exceed one hundred percent and bring it to 143% or more. If this is possible, suddenly it becomes an option to finish the game at exactly 3499 and see every ending in one playthrough by manipulation of GAW. If this is _not_ possible, then seeing every ending (along a given branch, there is one major fork that is based not on readiness but on an imported decision) is not possible with a single playthrough of the game without replaying the entirety of the final mission before and after a bunch of tedious planet scanning."} {"_id": "77950", "title": "Where is the tunnel man in Spelunky for Xbox 360?", "text": "I am playing the game with two people and we never meet the tunnel man in between levels.

I don't know if _acceleration_ is the right term for this, but I remember Windows' mouse control panel calling it that way in some older versions of Windows. In Window 7 it's called _enhance pointer precision_ and is enabled by default. It's called _pointer ballistics_ by Microsoft and is described in this article. I can't find any option controlling this in the game's menu or it's setup utility (launched from Steam by choosing _Setup Deus Ex: Human Revolution_ after double clicking the game in the game library).

In my haste when unplugging everything at home, the disk was left behind. Unfortunately I had installed all my games on that disk. However, I _had_ brought the Battlefield 4 disk, as it was already inserted into the console before I took it with me. However, reinstalling from the disk didn't seem to be an option, nor to uninstall it. The only option I had was to install it from the store, which started a 45GB download which took all night. In the above scenario, is it possible, and I just didn't find out how, to do the following: 1. Uninstall the game, or make the Xbox forget that it was installed on the external disk, preparing for a new disk-install? 2. Reinstall from the disk, and not only from the store/download? For instance, what if the disk was lost, or destroyed, or otherwise permanently gone, what would I do then, would my disks be worthless? * * * OK, since it seems nobody else has experienced this or not quite being able to understand what I'm seeing, I did this: 1. Turned off the Xbox One 2. Unplugged the external drive 3. Turned on the Xbox One As before, the Battlefield 4 disk is in the console. On the home screen I can see the disc tile lower right, showing Battlefield 4. If I use the controller to activate it, the BF4 screen goes fullscreen briefly, and then returns to the home screen with a gray error message that says the following (verbatim): > For {0}, connect your external storage > If you have the storage device or the disc, use that. Otherwise, install > Battlefield 4 from the Xbox Store. (0x87e000c8) > [See in Xbox Store] [Cancel] If I activate \"See in Xbox Store\", it goes to the store item for BF4, where I can Install/Pin to Home/Rate. Activating Install installs the game, _but from the online store_. This takes a lot of time. If I return to the home screen, navigate to the disc tile (again) and hit the menu button on the controller, I have these choices: * Go to full screen * Pin to Home * View game details * Manage game If I use \"View game details\", again I end up in the store. If I use \"Manage game\", I get to a gray screen, with the BF4 icon on it, and an option on top of the big icon to install it. Activating that informs it it'll take a while. When accepting that, it is queued up, 35.3GB. None of this spins up the disk, and it is a slow install, so it is being installed over the internet. OK, so that didn't work, let's see what I see under storage management. -- and now I found the solution, I will add my own answer here."} {"_id": "87559", "title": "Where is the pet store?", "text": "I was playing sims freeplay on my iPod yesterday but could not find the pet store.

You see, I have completed over 125 quests in Hyjal then was sent to Deepholm at level 82. Next I completed 75 of the at least 125 quests in Deepholm and leveled to 73. Where I believe, but not completely sure, after leveling up to 73, I wasn't given any more quests. However, I was able to finish the quests and any chain-quests that I was already working on. Next I arrived at to Uldum and completed about 41 of the 108 or so quests. As soon as I hit 84, I wasn't able to pick another question in Uldum.

Here's my setup and what I've done recently that could be related (I'm including probably too much detail in the hopes it helps someone figure out what happened): * I've had my Steam account in use on 3 computers for months, and added a fourth about a month ago. There were no issues with this other than the normal needing to coordinate which one is signed in at what time. * Yesterday I restored part of a backup (made on Computer **A** several months ago) to Computer **B**. This was a bit problematic; it failed once, then again when I tried in Offline Mode, and worked the third time although there were connection issues and I had trouble getting Steam to exit after it finished. In the end this exercise was entirely useless since Steam wanted to download the entire games again anyways.1 * Today I completed some of the downloads on Computer **B** (COD1 and Worms Crazy Golf). * I then signed in on Computer **C** , forcing Computer **B** to be logged out. * Then I put Steam into Offline Mode on Computer **C** , and logged in on Computer **B** again. * Next I started up Worms Crazy Golf on **B** and exited Steam when I realized that **B** didn't have my saves since the game doesn't use Steam Cloud. (Despite this, Steam reported that it was syncing to Steam Cloud when I exited.) * Finally I started Steam on Computer **A** before connecting to the internet, and it naturally gave me a connection error. I connected and hit Retry. Instead of logging in it said something like \"Exiting\", the main window flashed briefly, and it exited. * I believe this is the point where it erased everything because the log-in window came back up about thirty seconds later and, while it remembered my username, it didn't remember my password and otherwise looked like it does when you start it up the very first time. * After signing in none of my games were marked as installed, and my Favorites menu was empty (and ended up empty on the other PCs as well). My steamapps\\common folder on the hard drive was empty and nothing could be recovered with undelete tools. So, now I have a few questions: * Why did Steam erase everything? Is this a known issue? * Did I do something \"wrong\"? I was the one doing all of the actions, setting up and playing, though who knows what their heuristics thought of it. My account doesn't appear to have been suspended or anything. * How can I prevent this from happening again? 1The re-downloading could be because there were updates to the games, but I don't think so since the downloads were the size of the entire games. COD:MW2 couldn't possibly have had 11 GB of updates, right? Either way I am sticking to manual backups from now on, Steam's are too slow and obviously unreliable."} {"_id": "173334", "title": "Where is Bruce Wayne?", "text": "I know that the Watch Dogs is set in the city of Chicago, not Gotham, but I saw at some site the profile of Bruce Wayne with $20 billion dollars in his bank account in some random street in Watch Dogs.

It's a glitch, one that doesn't seem to have a chance in hell of getting fixed in the near future, and EA didn't seem interested in a problem that only a handful of people are experiencing. I suppose servers have to explode before they'll bat an eye. Anyway, the glitch is causing me to not be able to complete the mission. I finished the game once (and was not happy with the results of not completing the Grissom mission), and am now doing a Part II runthrough in which I've used Gibbed's Save Editor to tweak some romance options, etc. Nothing big. I've also updated both my game and Origin to their respective latest updates (I'm on PC if you can't tell). I've worked my way back up to the Grissom mission and am still having the same fall-through-the-floor-after-Orion-cutscene problem. Very irritating. And before you ask, I've tried everything I can think of to fix the problem, including things suggested by others. I doubt there's a workaround; it's something that needs Bioware's attention, if only they'd actually pay attention. So what I'd like to know is if I can use the handy coalesced editor that I've downloaded (Wenchy's version) to make my game think I've completed the mission. I realize I could totally exploit this and make ME think I've completed ALL the missions, but then what's the point in playing? I just want to make it think I've finished THIS mission, since Gibbed's editor doesn't let me edit which missions have been completed like it does for ME1 and ME2. Any help would be appreciated!

When comparing like for like, such as tier V heavy tanks, opinions seem to be split by which tank each person prefers rather than any objective measure or weighting system. Measuring by win rate ignores many of the factors that go into making up the win rate such as the composition and quality of the players playing a particular tank, class, or nation.

So accounting for use of iron or diamond tools and the wear on the tools, what is the MAX end result per hour of each ore that you can achieve? I say max assuming that you spend 100% of your time breaking blocks with no running back and forth to bank chests. I'm interested in diamond, redstone, lapis, coal, gold, and iron, though the cobble you get back would be a nice bonus. **edit** After some confusion over what I meant I think it's important to clarify what I'm looking for. There is the ore chart on the minecraft wiki that shows a roughly stable distribution of ore deposits between levels 12 and 16 (six blocks inclusive) on the game map. That's a popular area to mine as you're above most lava pools but still in the max average distribution range for diamonds. Assuming you use the most efficient mining strategy for those six block levels to mine all ore blocks you see while mining, assuming a smooth average distribution of the ore, and assuming that there's no dirt or gravel and only stone where those blocks would appear, **what will be the end result of ore \"profit\" after tool use for both diamond tools and iron tools after one hour of mining, assuming you're mining 100% of the time?** If you prefer smoother numbers then 10 or even 100 hours is fine.

I usually see twilight council after the first gateway. Usually they will have blink researched before they even begin attacking. I feel that this is TOO early but I am not at the level to be criticizing pro build orders. When I do a blink rush, I get the twilight after my 2nd or 3rd gateway and blink is ready _during_ my first engagement with 9-12 stalkers. The thing is, delaying blink as long as possible gives you room to adjust your build depending on what you scout. The moment you plop down the twilight council, you're getting pretty committed to an expensive early tech. With regards to tech, isn't the rule of thumb to delay it as long as possible until you can actually use it? In other words, the way I see it, **the pros are getting blink almost a minute before they actually need it**. The only reason I can think of to have blink ready before the start of the battle is to get around a wall or forcefield, either to force an engagement when you know they're not ready or to get instant vision of high ground for warping in. Even though that's extremely risky, the pros do it successfully. I don't :) There are of course many other uses of blink, including: 1. Sneak cliff jump into opponent's base. For this though you either need a hallucinated air unit or an observer, which is irrelevant at this stage of the game. 2. Blinking back injured units. But this is also not very useful so early. This blink-back micro is not really necessary if your stalkers have a clear path to retreat. At this point in the game you can't have many stalkers, and you can just walk them back just as easily as you can blink them back. Later in the game when you have so many units that stalkers are clumped up and there's no clear path to walk backwards, THEN blink-back becomes effective. Yes, there are nice tricks with blinking to low ground or around buildings that aren't possible without blink, but this is a good reason to have blink ready DURING the engagement, not before. 3. Retreating or chasing. Again, this is not something that will be necessary at the start of your engagement. So is that risky forcefield jump the only reason people get such early blink? What makes HuK's or Kiwikaki's blink rush builds better than mine?"} {"_id": "178", "title": "What's the best strategy for conquering counties in Pocket Empires?", "text": "I love playing Pocket Empires on my Android phone and I'm trying to conquer some neighboring counties.

The other player basically sacrificed everything to build a Barracks and two or three reapers (I believe he built the barracks at 7 or 8 SCVs) and got into my base shortly after my first Gate went up. I didn't build a Zealot because other things I had read recommended going straight for a Stalker (and usually this seems to work). I scouted him, but he hid the Barracks somewhere else (probably near my base) so I didn't see it. There wasn't enough time for me to check everywhere he could have hidden it, so I'm not sure I could spot it coming. I moved my Probes away from the Reapers, and while I did that he ran in and built a Bunker on top of my resources. At that point it was game over. How should I counter this? **Edit for clarification** I'm redefining this as a \"suicide\" Reaper rush, to distinguish it from a normal Reaper rush. I was already building for a normal Reaper rush: Gate then Cybernetics, skip Zealot and go straight for a Chrono-boosted Stalker. I had just started my Cybernetics when his first Reaper showed up. I looked at his build order after and he was skipping SCVs to get a Reaper out way earlier than is normally possible. He also sent 3 SCVs to build the bunker in my base, so he was gambling everything on taking me out in that first wave."} {"_id": "183147", "title": "Minecraft 1.7.10 crash", "text": "---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // Why is it breaking :( Time: 4/09/14 16:57 Description: Exception getting block type in world java.lang.NullPointerException: Exception getting block type in world at net.minecraft.world.gen.structure.StructureStart.func_75068_a(StructureStart.java:44) at net.minecraft.world.gen.structure.MapGenStructure.func_75051_a(MapGenStructure.java:93) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderGenerate.func_73153_a(ChunkProviderGenerate.java:382) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderServer.func_73153_a(ChunkProviderServer.java:279) at net.minecraft.world.chunk.Chunk.func_76624_a(Chunk.java:1045) at net.minecraftforge.common.chunkio.ChunkIOProvider.callStage2(ChunkIOProvider.java:52) at net.minecraftforge.common.chunkio.ChunkIOProvider.callStage2(ChunkIOProvider.java:12) at net.minecraftforge.common.util.AsynchronousExecutor.skipQueue(AsynchronousExecutor.java:344) at net.minecraftforge.common.util.AsynchronousExecutor.getSkipQueue(AsynchronousExecutor.java:302) at net.minecraftforge.common.chunkio.ChunkIOExecutor.syncChunkLoad(ChunkIOExecutor.java:12) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderServer.loadChunk(ChunkProviderServer.java:126) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderServer.func_73158_c(ChunkProviderServer.java:101) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderServer.func_73154_d(ChunkProviderServer.java:199) at net.minecraft.world.World.func_72964_e(World.java:416) at net.minecraft.world.World.func_147439_a(World.java:342) at net.minecraft.block.BlockDynamicLiquid.func_149807_p(SourceFile:195) at net.minecraft.block.BlockDynamicLiquid.func_149808_o(SourceFile:170) at net.minecraft.block.BlockDynamicLiquid.func_149674_a(SourceFile:95) at net.minecraft.world.WorldServer.func_72955_a(WorldServer.java:550) at net.minecraft.world.WorldServer.func_72835_b(WorldServer.java:181) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.func_71190_q(MinecraftServer.java:625) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.func_71217_p(MinecraftServer.java:547) at net.minecraft.server.integrated.IntegratedServer.func_71217_p(IntegratedServer.java:111) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:427) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer$2.run(MinecraftServer.java:685) A detailed walkthrough of the error, its code path and all known details is as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Head -- Stacktrace: at net.minecraft.world.gen.structure.StructureStart.func_75068_a(StructureStart.java:44) at net.minecraft.world.gen.structure.MapGenStructure.func_75051_a(MapGenStructure.java:93) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderGenerate.func_73153_a(ChunkProviderGenerate.java:382) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderServer.func_73153_a(ChunkProviderServer.java:279) at net.minecraft.world.chunk.Chunk.func_76624_a(Chunk.java:1045) at net.minecraftforge.common.chunkio.ChunkIOProvider.callStage2(ChunkIOProvider.java:52) at net.minecraftforge.common.chunkio.ChunkIOProvider.callStage2(ChunkIOProvider.java:12) at net.minecraftforge.common.util.AsynchronousExecutor.skipQueue(AsynchronousExecutor.java:344) at net.minecraftforge.common.util.AsynchronousExecutor.getSkipQueue(AsynchronousExecutor.java:302) at net.minecraftforge.common.chunkio.ChunkIOExecutor.syncChunkLoad(ChunkIOExecutor.java:12) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderServer.loadChunk(ChunkProviderServer.java:126) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderServer.func_73158_c(ChunkProviderServer.java:101) at net.minecraft.world.gen.ChunkProviderServer.func_73154_d(ChunkProviderServer.java:199) at net.minecraft.world.World.func_72964_e(World.java:416) -- Requested block coordinates -- Details: Found chunk: true Location: World: (-1184,33,-1105), Chunk: (at 0,2,15 in -74,-70;

What is their rationale behind the choice? **Energy Cost** There are champions like Shen, Kennen, and Akali that use energy, which is kind of similar to mana in limiting the spamming of abilities (although you don't buy energy items like you do mana items). **Health Cost** There are also a few like Mundo, Vlad, and Morde where their abilities cost health - that kind of makes sense to me - at least there is a cost to using abilities. **No Cost** But the champions that really puzzle me are the ones like Riven, Garen, and Katarina. It just doesn't make sense why they get to use their abilities for free, and never have to spend gold on mana related items. **Kha'Zix versus Rengar** And most recently - Why does Kha'Zix need mana, and Rengar doesn't? Is there a rhyme or reason behind Riot's decision to build mana into Kha' but not Rengar? I'm just wondering if there any posts or releases from Riot that explain this, or maybe even a champion spotlight where they explain it? **=====================Edit=====================** Thanks to help from @Brian Colvin I was able to track down a few forum posts. I'm updating my post because someone locked it, but I still think the information is valuable, and I have no clue where else to ask the question but on stack exchange. Morello answered a question in the forums that somewhat touches on this subject: > The reason is manaless champions need to be balanced specifically to not use > any (besides health) attrition in their gameplay. Infuse is an example that > removes attrition from characters designed to have it. For example, giving > Kog'Maw infinite mana is much, much more broken than making Kog'Maw manaless > and gating his ultimate in some other way. Another person asked a question about manaless champions, and Morello answered with this: > ...I do agree mana gives another balancing point to champions. You have to > design manaless champions to have other attrition (melee does since it's > more risky, health costs, more cooldown considerations, etc) but they can be > made functional if you're smart about it. Vlad's definitely the antithesis > of this paradigm though, as he gains resources over time. I didn't find anything too concrete, but I do thank @Brian Colvin for taking the time to point me in the right direction.

For example, on the first level of planet Ellenier, _Greendale_ , the level is supposed to end when you enter the castle after killing the two Big Spiders and Cannons that materialize when you approach it. However, the level often ends before that, once the enemies in the village have been killed, before the Big Spiders and Cannons are even spawned. Similarly, in the first level of Kronor, _Area 5100_ , the level is supposed to end after you enter the tunnel and kill all the aliens, then pick up the minigun that materializes. However, the level keeps ending early, after the other monsters outside are killed (and before the prisoners are even freed). * * * Later, while playing **Serious Sam: The Next Encounter** (GameCube), I notice the same behavior in a couple of the bonus levels. In _The Silk Road_ , there is a gauntlet in which you fight numerous monsters, then at one point, you get in the combine to mow down even more monsters. Eventually, you get to the gates of the palace and enter to end the level. However, the level often ends whether or not you reach the palace. It definitely ends if the combine is destroyed or runs out of fuel, but even if you get in then get out and an unknown amount of time passes. In _The Geothermal Tunnels_ , you are in the submarine, underwater. Whether or not you take damage, eventually the air/gas runs out so it makes some sense that the level would end at that point even if you have not reached the end, though it could just as easily kill you, thus _require_ reaching the end to complete. * * * If I ignore all the goodies, monsters, secrets, etc. and just go straight towards the end, I can get to it, but trying to get everything in the levels seems to cause this to happen. It seems as though there may be a timer of some sort, but if there is, where/when it is triggered or how long it has is unknown. Another thing that they all have in common is that they all include vehicles, but then, there are other levels that include vehicles which do not exhibit this behavior.

Just as I was about to I found the first file in the list saying it was corrupted, I tried to look though to see what game it could have been but my guess was that it was my Black Rock Shooter Save as that was the last game I was playing on it and the save before was Black Rock Shooter, however I suspect it was the save I made just before I first met Nana. So anyway, after accepting that it probably was Black Rock Shooter I went to delete the system config file, right after that, all the save games but 3 became corrupted, the 3 was a Shin Megami Tensei Persona System Config File, a Fate/Extra Save and a Disgaea save, since the Disgaea file was my most recent one nearing the end of the game I thought I'd back up since I couldn't delete the corrupted data via the PSP and I wanted to back up the Disgaea file, however when I plugged my PSP into the computer and went to PSP/SAVEDATA there was nothing in there, my computer is showing hidden files and not hiding system files so I can see every file, also, in the properties of the removable drive the PSP became it showed it had more memory than what the PSP was saying. I've looked up how to try and recover the corrupted data, some suggested using the file system however since I couldn't even find the Save Games that was a bust, the other method use this Magic Save thing but reading it it said \"Install like any other App\", considering that I never installed an app and most likely would do it from PSN I would assume that this program was for a hacked PSP, with little option I had to reformat. I am wondering what could cause so much of my save data to become corrupted like that as it makes no sense, it doesn't seem to have done it again but I want to know what could cause this so that I can better prepare for the future since I've looked probably a total of 100+ hours of gameplay."} {"_id": "126486", "title": "Does zero-damage hit to a zombie still trigger the \"summon\"?", "text": "I got an idea for improving efficiency of an XP farm, but I don't know how viable it would be.

Here's my ruler's diplomacy screen/active wars: ![wars](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ejzz8.png) As you can see, I have a few truces, but a very large number of these yellow blips. When I click on one, it takes me to a completely random (as far as I can tell) duchy. I've gone from places in Russia to North Africa to India by clicking on them. My borders currently don't really extend east of Italy so there's no adjacency, and there's no rhyme or reason to the religion or culture of the pips (which I would expect if this meant I had, e.g., a Jihad or Crusade called on me). Hovering over them produces no tooltip text. ![enemies](http://i.stack.imgur.com/xqW8d.png) That's a picture of the Byzantine Empire (who I'm spying on) as you can see, I'm hostile to their armies, even though I'm not in any active war against them. ![sieges](http://i.stack.imgur.com/QqcDg.jpg) Here are some sieges, as you can see, I've completely sieged a province in Italy (upper right), despite there being no war. Some army I'm not hostile to partially sieged one of my provinces, which I can't siege back. I think it's a trade post that got sieged, though technically I own the trade port somehow. ![ledger](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gnoED.jpg) Finally, there's the ledger, nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can see. Recent notable events in my game: 1. This seemed to occur immediately after I killed the Italian king and got caught (so I could declare another Holy War without breaking my truce). 2. Cathar very recently displaced Catholocism as the main branch of the religion. 3. I had a holy war (as far as I can tell, a normal Holy War, not a Jihad) called on me by the Shi'a Caliph, which I crushed. 4. I think there are a few distant event-spawn host invasions, but that's really far east of me. It's currently 1064. Can somebody explain what happened? I really have no idea what's going on and having tiny little 500 man armies failing to siege random things in my empire and generally slowing down my troops with fights I have no vested interest in is rather obnoxious. I should note that I can still declare wars as normal, and I can get warscore, siege, and enforce demands as normal.

When you get a good game it's brilliant, but more and more games are filled with players who completely miss the point of the game. To win at Wolf Pack you need to hit a score threshold to get to the next segment and get more time, and your NPC targets spawn infinitely (although always on the far side of the map) To win you need to get high scoring kills, and quickly, while completing challenges (like 'Get a FOCUS bonus' or 'Get an ACROBATIC kill'). Many challenges involve team work (like SYNC kills which require each assassin to lock a different target) and later segments get tougher - higher score thresholds and targets that hide and defend much better. The problem is keen (I don't think they're greifing) but confused players that don't understand how the game works at all. Let's call them _Neophyte_. For instance: I'll set up an INCOGNITO HIDDEN FOCUS POISON OBJECTIVE kill for around 1400pts, and then (before the poison takes effect) _Neophyte_ steams in, alerts all the targets and gets a contested 100pts (robbing both my kill score and the 30 seconds or so I spent setting it up). Then a SYNC segment will come up, the other 3 players will set up their targets - _Neophyte_ steams in, fails the objective for everyone, sets off a trip bomb and gets themselves stunned. _Neophyte_ will run from one end of the map to the other robbing and generally messing up everyone's kills and ruining any chance of a SYNC or FOCUS bonus for any other players. They'll constantly get caught by smoke bombs and get stunned every other kill, but that doesn't sink into _Neophyte_ 's head. They'll average about 150pts per kill. Usually the game ends the round by about segment 10-12, with _Neophyte_ having twice as many kills and half the score that anyone else has. One of these players will ruin a match and finding a game without them is getting harder and harder. * Is there any way to kick/ban these players? (I'm sure everyone else will vote with me and they'll learn that they're doing something wrong) * Is there any way to avoid them? * If neither of them is possible is there any way to educate these users? (They can already clearly see when other players have a lock, when other players have FOCUS or POISON set) * Is there some in-game behaviour (they either don't have mics or don't listen to them) that would show them what they're doing wrong?"} {"_id": "102341", "title": "How can I check if a server is up in CS:GO?", "text": "I am trying to create a dedicated server.

Normally, when I come into a game like this, I tend to do a lot of research and planning, both theory-crafting my own build ideas, and reading up on what other people use, and what is and is not successful at end-game levels. However, I was contemplating doing something different with PoE. For once, I was thinking it might be interesting to just wing it, and pick what sounds good as I go along. I don't intend to just completely pick random passives; rather, I want to pick a couple of themes, and stick with those, while avoiding passives that are unrelated to those themes. For example, on my level 19 marauder, I've been planning on sticking with 1 hand weapons and a shield, so I've avoided any passive relating to 2 hand weapons, or even any that are specific to a particular weapon type (i.e. no increased sword damage, etc.). I'm also sticking roughly to Str only, picking up only a couple of skills that spill over into dex or int territory. However... as a result of my \"no research\" policy (one which I'm having some trouble sticking to), I don't know much about the end game. Given that PoE offers very limited respeccing options, I'm getting concerned that I'll get up to high levels of play, and find that my character is permanently unable to participate in end-game content (and by end-game, I'm not even talking about competition like PvP, ladders, or special events, but simply being able to perform effectively in basic story progression encounters).

It gives running time-of-day clock, but the more stations I have to stop at, the more it becomes off. For instance, I were to stop at the station at 14:22:09. By my clock I am arriving late at 14:24:20. However, as I initiate the loading/unloading of passengers, it records my arrival time as 14:19:41. It tends to accumulate, and during one hour run the error goes up to the magnitude of four to six minutes. And that is very significant as to keep on schedule one has to constantly calculate average speed necessary to arrive at the station at certain time. Is that a known bug, or something rare? Is it platform or system specific problem (I run the game under WinE set as Windows 7)? Is it fixed with some sort of patch? I had read about editing `default.wag` settings file, as it appears that the game by default uses different values for on-track and off- track so-called time step (10 and 30 ms, respectively). Apparently, off-track time step manages parked train (load/unload, or stopping at the signal), and also the scenery, and that is why on slower machines one would want off-track to be less precise, as it loads the processor too much. One solution would be to match both on- and off-track time step values, but I would like to understand more how are those used exactly, how low ore high I should go when setting those numbers, what is difference in time solver methods (Euler and Runge-Kutta), and why by default both use different methods?"} {"_id": "3021", "title": "What is damage spread as it relates to Team Fortress 2?", "text": "The term \"Damage Spread\" is thrown around, specifically in regards to \"vanilla\" servers in Team Fortress 2.

Of course, being hosted on a phone, the world isn't exactly persistent. We pretty much have a day or two to build things and then we start over. So I figured I'd look into setting up a proper local Minecraft server that we can play from actual computers (it's my understanding Pocket Edition can't use a proper server). Understand that I have every intention of _buying_ Minecraft, provided that it actually works... The first thing I did was set up a server on my Linux box. Following the wiki, I set up a server on my Linux box (and ended up using one of the control scripts available as well). All appeared to be working well from that end, but that's just on the command line so far. On my Mac I've downloaded Minecraft 1.5.1. When launching, it asked me for a login. So I registered an account. However, even though I can login just fine on the website, the game client always rejects the login. After a while (most of the day), the \"Play Offline\" option became available anyway. So, on my Mac at least, I'm still able to play offline and successfully connect to the LAN server and play the game. So I went about trying the same thing on a couple of Windows PCs. (One running XP, one running 7, one running 8.) All of them exhibit the same \"Login Failed\" error consistently. One of them, after a while, allowed me to \"Play Offline.\" I can play single-player, but attempting to connect to the LAN server results in a Java socket exception. The other two PCs I only began testing recently, so the \"after a while\" for \"Play Offline\" hasn't elapsed yet. I've found a lot of discussions online (forums, YouTube videos, etc.) which address various underlying causes of the failed login. Some claim that all one needs to do is change one's password on the website, but that didn't make a difference in my case. Others suggest that it's a firewall problem, but I don't believe that to be the case this time either. It happens on both Windows and Mac here, and I can confirm that the Windows box used for initial testing inside my LAN has the Windows Firewall disabled entirely. This seems to be an awful lot of trouble for what is a massively popular game. Is this normal? So, to summarize, my questions are: 1. Why does my login always fail? 2. How can I resolve that socket exception? Ultimately I'm just looking to have a successful end-to-end run of the game. Again, I'll gladly buy it if it actually works for me.

This morning, I got an e-mail saying my account had be been banned. Reason given: > Exploitative Activity: Abuse of the Economy This was a surprise to me; especially when I discovered it was a legitimate email from Blizzard. I logged in to Battlenet (I haven't purchased Cataclysm) and it turns out that my account was active (e.g. trial) and also that it was indeed banned. Because of the reason I was banned, I have to assume it was one of those gold spammers that got into my account. I've got my account status resolved and my characters restored. But I have a couple of questions for the aftermath: 1. I guard all of my account information very closely (even my less-important MMORPG info) and I don't fall for phishing e-mails. What is the most popular way these \"companies\" get my login info? 2. Hacking into someone else's e-mail is a crime. Is hacking into someone's battlenet account a crime as well? If Blizzard coughed up the name of the company who stole my info, could I, in theory, go after them legally? I know question two is farfetched...but I'm just curious. After being on the net for over 18 years, I'm thankful that the first time I got hacked was over something innocuous, but it still stings. * * * _**UPDATE_** I updated my support ticket asking for more information and this is the reply I received: > Greetings! > > Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding your account. > > After reading your petition and taking a further look at your account, it > appears that the compromise issue first started on 9/10/2011.

I rushed across the map, only killing enemies when it was _absolutely necessary_ to open a gate or something, and boarded Flynt's ship. Several respawns, and hundreds of thousands of in-game dollars, later Flynt and his posse were dead. Then I went on to find that Claptrap's ship wasn't even there!

It was PTT vs. ZZT. One of my opponents got sight in the rear of our bases and started flooding the place with Roaches and Hydralisks via Nydus Worms. We were able to fend off this attack with our various defensive units. Unfortunately, these had been up at the choke point and not really prepared to run back, which took some time so the Zerg were able do to some serious damage. What's more, the Zerg were able to retreat handily back to the Nydus Worm and live to harass again a minute later somewhere else. What are some good ways to: * Detect an incoming Nydus attack quickly to react? * Destroy the incoming Nydus Worm before it completes building? * Take out the Nydus Worm after the units come out so they can't retreat? * Prevent the whole thing from happening in the first place? In this case I don't think denying sight would be possible, considering they had a Terran player with no qualms about using Scanner Sweeps. My initial thought for some defense was maybe getting some patrolling Marines or Reapers in the backs of the bases, just to start shooting at the thing when they saw it building. But then I wasn't sure how _many_ it would take to soundly deny the building from completing. Another thought I had was perhaps a Photon Cannon near the edge... would that be enough to take out the Nydus Worm before it completes (assuming we could place it well to see the best Nydus build locations)? _PS We did end up winning the game due to superior macro... and one of their players unfortunately disconnecting._"} {"_id": "18743", "title": "How come 4 Warp Gate Rush does not dominate professional play?", "text": "This might be a dumb question; I actually don't own SC2, so what experience I have is playing friends' accounts.

I guess it's of the form `((horsepower^constant1)/weight)*constant2 + constant3`. constant1 being between 1.2 and 2. Oddly, I also noticed increased power on very PP cars does not increase PP so much.

It works great and locks to 60 FPS this way, but recording is tedious, takes space and I have to remember to delete my movies after playing (even if only to ensure nobody sees me getting regularly pummelled heh). Is there a way to lock framerate in FRAPS without recording (i.e. automatically redireting recorded AVI > dev/null or something similar)? If not, is there any other software or way to lock game's framerate? I already tried forcing vsync in AMD CCC, with no effect. Same for disabling Direct3D/DirecrDraw acceleration using dxdiag.

I do have my computer set up to load unsigned drivers, such as XBCD. * PPJoy: doesn't detect my joystick, and it's not parallel port anyway * Use Joy2Key to map throttle to certain keypresses: Works only for a few games. Usual result is the throttle axis does absolutely nothing while the controls that are normally mapped to the throttle are completely disabled (in Jane's F-15 I'll have no throttle control whatsoever). * Saitek's Joystick Profiler: no way of disabling an axis and all ways I have tried to manipulate the throttle axis (I can't remember the specifics) have had detrimental or no effect. * Open the joystick and cut the cord to the throttle: throttle is detected but obviously does nothing because the wires to it are cut... * Rewire the throttle to something like a thumb-dial or slider that is more accessible/practical to use: my electronics expertise peaked at putting the cords back together after doing the above. * Buy a better joystick: no, I don't have that kind of money, I can't buy online anyway, and all joysticks I can find in local stores exhibit this exact same kind of throttle (under the arm) and so would lead me to this exact same problem."} {"_id": "124074", "title": "Actual Effect of Taking a Blacksmithing Potion", "text": "There are three Blacksmithing potions in the Reckoning: Minor Blacksmith's Craft Greater Blacksmith's Craft Master Blacksmith's Craft And so far I have been using them in this way: 1.

One of the main benefits of (P)RNG abuse, that is, changing the date and time of the DS in order to get previously calculated results due to the predictability of the games' pseudo random number generator, is being able to **encounter shiny Pokemon at will**. This is especially interesting for Legendary Pokemon who you can't simply breed with the Masuda method for a few weeks until you hatch a shiny offspring. So this question is going to focus on abusing the PRNG to **encounter shiny stationary Pokemon** such as Legends, Driftloon in DPPt or Lapras in HGSS (among others). Between Black, Black 2, White and White 2, nearly all Legendary Pokemon exist in Gen V. The same is true for Gen IV thanks to Platinum and Heartgold/Soulsilver. For the few who are only available in one Generation, there is no choice. But for the others, assuming access to any game, I can choose where to RNG my Legendary to get it as a shiny version. Now what I'm wondering is where this process is actually harder. Initially, I thought Gen V RNG is generally easier because everything can be done with Non- C-Gear seeds, which are set based on the second alone, while in Gen IV you have to hit a delay, which limits the error margin to roughly 1/30 of a second. However, in Gen V the portion of the PRNG responsible for generating the PID is apparently subject to an inconsistent offset and hard to check. I've also read somewhere that it's not advised to go for perfect shinies in Gen V unless you also RNG'd your Trainer IDs. Here's the question. **What difficulties do I have to overcome in order to encounter a shiny stationary with random IVs in Generation IV and V respectively?** If you can answer that as well, I'd also be interested in a comparison of how good I have to be in some area or another for one Generation to be easier than the other ( _e.g. \"If you can hit your delay 1 out of 5 times, Gen IV is easier due to the constant starting frame.\"_ ). * * * Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not interested in subjective answers of the kind _\"I think Gen IV is easier because my experience suggests that.\"_ You're welcome to post that in a comment, but an answer should **list the things that make it hard to pull off in one or the other Generation**. I can decide what this means in the end for myself and anyone who googles this can also make their own decision of which obstacles they'd rather learn to clear. Also, I can see the topic of cheating come up. **RNG abuse is** widely accepted as a shady/questionable but **not illegal or objectionable** method of tricking the game for the following reasons. Since no external devices are connected and a computer is used for calculations only, the Pokemon received through this method are _legitimately created by the game and could have been encountered randomly_. The method boils down to calculating the point in time where the desired result is generated by the game and playing in the correct way and is thus very similar to looking up information about \"secret\" in-game events or mechanics in some guide or walkthrough."} {"_id": "177166", "title": "pick up spawn hindering artifacts on temple run?", "text": "Does increasing the pickup spawn passive ability make it harder for artifacts to appear?

In Diablo 2, there was a difference between _Increase Attack Speed_ (IAS) on weapons and IAS from other sources (such as Armor/Jewelry). I started to wonder about the same in Diablo 3, when I looked at weapons that have an IAS property, such as this axe: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/artisan/blacksmith/recipe/the-wedge As you can see, the item-information states: `1.46-1.47 Attacks per Second`, which is more than an axe has without the IAS (`1.3` in that case). Equipping such a weapon while having other items with +IAS, won't change that number. This leads me to the conclusion that there might be two separate IAS calculations going on. The IAS on the weapon changes the **base weapon speed** , while all other IAS is multiplied with that base-speed. Which in turn would make IAS on the weapon itself more valuable. Does anybody know how the formula for attack-speed works? Are all sources of IAS being treated equally, or is there indeed a difference between weapon-IAS and armor-IAS?"} {"_id": "70097", "title": "Is there always a significant reward in the randomly generated dungeons?", "text": "So far every randomly generated dungeon I have entered I have been rewarded with a golden chest at the end of the rainbow.

I'm currently on _AMX 12 t_ and it's advancing _slowly_. I really don't like this tank. Big, poor armor, terrible angles, poor acceleration, poor aim, six weak rounds in autoloader a significant step back from the slow but mighty ELC gun, and matchmaking throwing me against Tier X opponents which can bounce my direct hit down the driver's viewport or one-shot me with splash damage. I got it fully upgraded, except for the radio. I'm doing some 5k XP a day, and I'm quite a bit away from the needed 64,000XP needed for the AMX 13 F3 AM. The 9000XP required for the best radio would make a significant dent in my budget, and I'm really not finding it essential (the tank not being lean enough to sneak _deep_ behind enemy lines; current radio is perfectly sufficient for flanking, stealth-scouting at extended foreposts or leading support fire from second line (while looking for openings for flanking). Thing is, that radio is the only thing inherited by _AMX 13 F3 AM_ from _AMX 12 t_. I know the radio is the holy spirit of the artillery. Normally, _13 F3_ would have inherited it from its artillery predecessors. That way it won't - unless I spend another 2 days on the light tank grinding for it. My plan is to get to the arty ASAP, and earn my better radio there. 9k XP in a tier VI artillery is normally a breeze for me. Except I never played a higher tier arty with poor radio. I know it will perform poorly - the question is, how poorly? If it's more than 3 days of grinding, I'm better off spending the time in _AMX 12 t_. Any experiences? Insights?

However, they have all seemed to have disappeared. What is the solution to this room? I assume that the 3 discolored squares towards the top of the room are for the three players to interact with while the two 3 by 3 squares provide a hint as to what to do next. ![God forsaken puzzle](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KI1Lj.jpg) There is a hint given on the teamliquid forums that may seem to indicate a solution, however, as I commented, that isn't a solution. If you look at the minimap, the first room is the top left corner room. The 2nd room is the one beneath that. There is a hidden door that's not readily visible to people not actively looking for it. That door leads to the part of a room where one of the three gems you have to retrieve is located. Solving the puzzle in that part makes it so that you can retrieve the gem later. That's what that hint means. Next, it's difficult to get a team of 3 players to do these puzzles correctly without \"rage quitting.\" As soon as one person quits the game is over, so I will not be able to guess and check suggestions on this map, as it even takes some time to get to the location in question (starting from scratch each time). * * * **Edit** I found here that there is a way to glitch the map so that one of the triggers wont work. However, I am unsure as to whether that refers to this room or not. This description of the glitch doesn't seem to correspond to this room. I am also working on a theory that the grass spots in each of the squares corresponds to a room on the mini-map, and in those room there is an addition hint.

This pretty much never happened in the first town and the size of the fields is only differing by 10 units vs half a season (the first town would always start to harvest in fall). So, this has brought up a few questions in regards to farming that I would like to figure out. * What is the best size of a field either by dimensions or by area they cover? * Is there any benefit to having more than one farmer on a field? * If I do not restrict the farmers will they roam from field to field to take care of them? * Should I build something like a second Fishing dock to send the farmers to during the winter? Any additional 'Keep this in mind's area also welcome in this post, but these are the topics that I would like to shed some light in the area of farming."} {"_id": "43120", "title": "How do I get the Flurry achievement?", "text": "In Defense Grid: The Awakening, what level and tower build order/strategy will allow me to easily get the Flurry achievement, which requires me to get a gold medal on an adrenaline challenge mode?"} {"_id": "2575", "title": "How to play KBounce?", "text": "I read this Wikipedia article about it, but what I want to know is how to play it in the first place. ![alt text](http://imgur.com/kIaIy.png) **How do I draw walls?

I'm not as concerned about specific technologies (Bluetooth, RFID, NFC), that would be another question. What I am asking is about data storage. Do each of the figurines have data storage? I don't see any other way to meet the goals that the press releases state. I guess they could use a unique identifier, and store data on the server? So here's a specific question (with probably unnecessary detail) Alice has Skylanders on the PS3. Bob has Skylanders on the Wii. Both of them buy Drobot. Alice levels hers up to level 7, and Bob levels his up to level 9. If bob, then takes his Drobot over to Alice's house. Will Bob be playing with his level 9 Drobot, or will it think it's Alice's level 7 Drobot? The press release implies that it will by Bob's level 9 Drobot, but I'm a little skeptical.

You can tell, too, because it really rather sucked compared to the others. It wore out quickly, acquiring a large zone* where it could wiggle freely, usually within the stick's unresponsive dead zone, but occasionally exceeding it and causing undesired input. There was also that white residue that built up in the well it stuck out of, which I never could figure out whether was scrapings from the stick itself, or some kind of lubricant escaping to the surface of the mechanism. It's obviously visibly different from most other analog sticks; the stick itself descended all the way down into the mechanism, while most others that came after had a small nub attached to a larger rotating sphere. So if there's anyone out there familiar with controller design, tell me: What was it, mechanically speaking, that Nintendo didn't do quite right the first time? What all goes on down there inside analog sticks? * * * * EDIT: I originally conflated the dead zone, where the stick doesn't respond to movement, with the \"wiggle zone\", where the stick moved freely after wear and tear.

In short, the idea is to build as many cities as humanly possible; even if some of those cities aren't _much_ good, they're still better than not having the city. In Civ I, II, and III, there wasn't any reason not to build a hundred cities as quickly as possible. Civ IV introduced a per-city \"tax\", which increased with the number of cities in your empire; this stopped ICS, because a low-value city would _damage_ your empire. Civ V tried to prevent ICS via the Global Happiness mechanic. The idea was to make it harder to build extra cities by adding a per-city penalty to Global Happiness. Unfortunately, Civ V also has a goodly collection of per-city bonuses, making ICS workable again; it's telling that the answer to \"How do I beat Civ5 on deity?\" is Infinite City Spam. (Per-city bonuses include Martitime City-States and a wide variety of social policies.) Clever players found ways to do ICS despite the Global Happiness mechanic (mostly via the happiness-producing buildings). Civ V has had several patches and expansions since its initial release, in an attempt to reduce the efficiency of ICS: 1. Maritime City-State allies only give +1 food per city, not +2. 2. Happiness buildings now produce _Local_ Happiness, which cannot be used outside of the city that produces it. Tiny cities with all of the happiness-producing buildings no longer create a net-positive-happiness city (unless there are luxury resources or world wonders there, which are limited in supply). 3. Happiness buildings produce _less_ Happiness. (Typically +2 instead of +3.) 4. The Social Policies have been overhauled; several of them no longer give per-city bonuses, or delay those bonuses until all 6 policies in a tree have been filled (to make it harder to accumulate a large number of these bonuses). 5. Research costs now increase 5% per city (including puppets), and Libraries no longer have specialist slots; small cities will be a net _penalty_ to Science production. 6. Gold production was overhauled in Brave New World, reducing the power of improvements like Market and Bank while granting limited-number-per-civilization Trade Routes. So, given the above changes, **is Infinite City Spam still a good strategy as of the Brave New World expansion, in games on Immortal or Deity?** Is it still viable, but now much weaker?

Example: I have a Squire with +20 to Tower Damage from buffs on his gear. I place my towers with him, then switch out to my Huntress, who has only +5 to Tower Damage from her gear. Do my towers get +20 damage or +5? My main concern about this is because in using separate characters for Towers/Hero DPS, I often have gear that is tailored very differently. For example, on my Hero DPS Huntress, I may ignore the fact that a Bow has -5 to Tower Damage because I'm only using her for DPS.

I don't understand how the AIs are able to have such huge empires - is it just their difficulty level bonus? Throughout the game, I've been sandwiched between Iroquois and Ethiopia, both of which have outpaced me by ~20% total score continuously. Iroquois and I also shared a border with Mongolia, which was always weaker; when Iroquois decided it was time to conquer Mongolia I felt like I had to take it instead or else Iroquois would be way too close to my core cities. Same thing happened with Ethiopia and weaker Japan several hundred turns later - Ethiopia asked if I'd like to join it in war against Japan, and I felt that Japan's decline was a foregone conclusion, so I had to make sure as much of it ended up on my side as possible. The problem with this strategy is that I'm now at -15 happiness. I haven't built any of my own cities in quite some time. I've tried trading with the AIs on basically whatever terms they ask to get more luxury resources and I've allied with as many city states as possible (although there are two nearby I'm not allied with, but now that my happiness is so low, I don't have a chance of getting enough gold to overtake Ethiopia in influence).

If you hold 1 king title, or your highest title is count or duke, the succession law of your primary title applies to all of your titles. 2. If you hold multiple king titles (and no emperor title), each king title has its own succession law. (see this answer for more) 3. What if you hold an emperor title and no king titles? 4.

Also, I found out it's not just Vittoria that can't be killed. It's everybody! I can't kill anyone in Solitude! Everyone outside Solitude seems to be acting normal except for one guy on the road right outside who's just kneeling down with his arms over his head like he's scared and interacting with him doesn't do anything. **Update 2:** I think might be a bug relating to sleeping in an inn.

Example: In Capcom vs SNK 2, Ryu can combo from cross-up j. forward kick into close or crouching fierce and be close enough to finish with a Shoryuken.

Are there any significant obstacles discouraging it? Is the timing any more strict to cross-up \"deep\" enough to reliably combo into the next attack on standing opponents (that are stunned), or is it just me? If I just need more practice, are there any highly-regarded (particularly Ryu) players known to use this tactic? If so, what footage is available of them doing this?

It is definitely my new addiction. I've grasped almost all of the basic concepts (military, Dwarf Therapist, farming, and trading), but the thing which seems to constantly make me want to start over with a new fortress is the mass of migrants that I usually get around year 2 or 3. Basically, I gain dwarves faster than I can build new rooms, larger meeting areas... well larger _everything_ for that matter, and even if I do, it's a jumbled mess I cant make any sense of. My dilemma isn't being able to find things to do with the dwarves as it is _preparing_ for them. It is completely impractical to carve out massive areas into the mountain early in the game without suffering consequences. I find it challenging to keep 60+ dwarves happy, clothed, armed, and fed, not to mention the dozens of animals they bring in. I can only imagine what it's like trying to maintain 200 dwarves later in the game. So, my question is **how can I prepare/build my fortress to efficiently maintain 100+ dwarves later on?** To help get an idea of what I'm asking, here is a list of things I'm having problems with: * My configuration of buildings tends to become unorganized and eventually completely inefficient in keeping up with the demand of multiple dwarves. I tend to only build one of every workshop/furnace, usually on the same level as everything else. The wiki tutorial suggests three smelters for each furnace, which seems like overkill since I definitely don't plan on having three furnace operators during the early game. * I can't seem to get the farms right. If I build individual plots it takes up too much of my time, but if I build large plots I never have enough seeds to provide for it until much later. During my current game I built one large plot early on (which only allowed me to plant one thing per season) and a second farm plot about a year or so later is taking forever to get going. The wiki mentions starting with a 3x3 plot under- and above-ground, though this definitely led to my dwarves dying a slow death. * Bedrooms are a huge issue I am having, as they are material- and time-consuming. I never seem to be able to produce the furniture fast enough. I usually make a bed, chest, door, and cabinet for each room and assigning a room for each dwarf, as it tends to make them happier. * Pens/Pastures take up a lot of space. Trying to figure out how much is a reasonable amount of space for late game is definitely trial-and-error. My pastures tend to be around 20x20, and I can't make it any bigger as I have walls set up to protect my pasture and surface builds. Unfortunately, I can tell that if I get too many more animals, the grass in the pasture is going to disappear completely. I have started to slaughter a few of the extra bunnies and bulls, which is helping, but I don't like to slaughter animals that provide milk/fur/eggs, so eventually the pastures fill past capacity. The wiki says a 10x10 should be good enough, but I don't see how that's possible. **In short, I am looking for a detailed answer.**"} {"_id": "117117", "title": "does addition from Game engines require needs during development?", "text": "Once I have created a new engine which has things like better dialog and better A.I, if I select that during the development of the game does that mean that I could lower the correlating field during the Dev so that I could concentrate on other sections or does it mean that I should look more into that specific area of the game?"} {"_id": "117119", "title": "How often will a horse egg contain a donkey?", "text": "I recently heard that you can spawn a donkey from a horse egg with a random probability so I am curious: how often does this happen?"} {"_id": "176718", "title": "Is it a good idea to get Akmagnus as a Magnus replacement?", "text": "So, I have a Magnus, and I want to know if it is a good idea to craft another one so I can get the dual-wield version, the Akmagnus.

The second one is `OpenBlocks/ThermalExpansion` based.

Unfortunately they're on the other edge of the map, but I currently have a task force composed of a few heavily-promoted ships and embarked units on the way there, equipped with about 5 nuclear missiles. Russia is no pushover though, and this force is definitely not powerful enough to steamroll over them, at least not quickly enough for my liking. They might also have cruise missiles or nuclear weapons in stock, even though my reconnaissance was not able to spot any. This is a non-wrapping map and they are far beyond the range of my stealth bombers, at least until I conquer a city or two from them. What is the best way to stall their science victory? So far I've thought about: * Try to blitz-conquer their capital, using nukes if necessary. I think I can do it, but I'm not positive I could hold it indefinitely against their counter-attack; they might also switch to building the spaceship on their new capital*. On the other hand, if this will cause them to lose all their currently-built modules, it might be the best option. * Strategically nuke their top cities (over 20 citizens). This will probably put a serious dent in their production capability. Unfortunately some of these cities are deep enough inland that I will have to land my units there and risk their demise. * Settle in some safe corner of their empire and start waging war from there, hoping they will divert their efforts from the spaceship to war-time production. * Try to send some units around their back door to harass them, hoping they will dispatch units there, then blitz in and try to conquer multiple key cities, effectively taking them out of the game. I'm not sure this is something I can pull off, especially if they have bombers and missiles up their sleeve.

The first (quasi) RPG I ever played was Final Fantasy Adventure. At that time, I was quite the platformer fan and NES Zelda games, although moderately fun, never caught my attention for long. One day at a flee market I picked up Final Fantasy Adventure for a couple bucks and I fell in love with the experience of leveling up, weapon selection and getting engaged in the story. I was hooked and from then on I was a hardcore RPGer*. Because of it's personal history, FFA has a special place in my gaming heart. Every few years I pull out my old cart, slap it in my old-school GB and play it for a few hours. It doesn't matter where my saved file is-- I've practically memorized what to do from any place in the game and it's always still just as enjoyable as it's initial discovery. Today, I learned that back in 2006 a Japanese version was released for mobile phones that was quite similar to the original, but with updated graphics. As an uber-fan... I MUST PLAY THIS GAME. Sorry, I'm still a bit excited. The problem is I live in the US and I would have no clue how to obtain a mobile game from an international market. Can this be done? Is there an emulator for such a thing and, if so, where can I find it. I don't mind that the game's text will be in Japanese. I can't read it but, honestly, I don't have too. Yes, I get it.

My question is, when did this happen? I didn't do anything special when I crafted it (is that even possible?) so all I've been doing is running around digging and killing enemies. My only guess is I smashed a pot and inside was the same sword with this enchantment so it replaced it.

After completing the kill- a-dragon-at-western-tower quest, and buying Breezehome, I now appear to have a greeting committee of bandits after fast travel. First, upon leaving Breezehome, the bandits from Embershard Mine appeared and were helpfully cut down by guards and citizens. This was the first go-kill- guys-over-there quest I picked up in the game, the bounty from Falkreath, and the quest was completed as soon as all the bandits died in Whiterun. I fast travelled to Falkreath to hand in the bounty to Nenya (2 transitions - Whiterun to Falkreath, Falkreath to Jarl's house). I then fast travelled to Riverwood, then to Whiterun (total 4 transitions), when the bandits from Valtheim Keep spawned and were killed by guards (Companions quest; incidentally the second go-kill-them-over-there quest I picked up). This may be a patch 1.5.26 bug, related to the issue described here: Why did enemies spawn around me when I fast traveled after the latest patch? I'm using Windows 7, Skyrim 1.5.26, SkyUI, and a couple of other mods (alchemy storage, weapon crafting, better horses). Is anyone else getting this or similar behaviour? Added Observations: It seems that going into Breezehome for the first time after getting the quest to kill the bandits from Halted Stream Camp from The Bannered Mare spawns the bandits in the house. After some testing, it appears that fast travelling to Riverwood will cause the quest marker to appear in Whiterun, and the bandits to spawn there after fast travelling to Whiterun. I also notice that the spawn point seems to be the doorway of Breezehome.

I was on my last legs and it destroyed me in seconds. Since then I've never gotten past it's shields on the first form. I fly the Engi Cruiser using Ion cannons and drones, and a Halberd beam when I can get one. I usually take out the huge Mantis Aggressors with a flawless, <30 seconds victory; undamaged, no deaths, no wasted drones. I play without using the pause button. I imagined that using a triple-Ion cannon along side a stock Ion cannon would get me past at least two of it's shields, allowing for a well timed line-up of those two, an attack from my Combat drone and my halberd beam to deal some real damage to the shields, then take the fight to it's FTL drive to stop it dodging and pick apart it's weapons systems. The resulting battle was maybe 10 minutes long and tedious; I never got past more than 3 shields. I'm guessing the first thing I'll be told is 'Use burst lasers and no Ion cannons' but Ions are the only way of keeping a ship's shields down once they're down with the Engi cruiser, and they're the only tactic I can work almost flawlessly.

I have set it up like this, and the circuit lights up when I step on the plate, and stays on constantly when I step off, until I break it by removing some redstone. What I think should be happening when I step on the plate is that the circuit should activate, sending current round the loop, each time round sending a pulse out to the sticky pistons (which I'm fairly sure are wired up correctly, as they do move when they receive current) - and that this should continue, even when I step off the plate.

Basically we have had 3 different Projetc where we encountered this behaviour now. We don't know how to fix it and we don't know why it happens. I hope some of you have an idea! 1. We are currently building a huge and very efficient witch farm based on this video / tutorial: For that witchfarm we basically followed the tutorial and built it step by step. This is how far we are at the moment: http://s1.directupload.net/images/140504/adgo6hvi.png At that point we stopped to see if it works and witches do spawn. However we went about 30 blocks away and hopped into creative. After 10min nothing happened - not a single witch spawned. 2hours later i came back alone on the server and what happened? 6 Witches there instanstly! In both cases we have had about 80 Entities around - absolutely normal and witches should have been able to spawn regulary at both times. After i saw that i brought my friend back online and we looked into it again. It seems that witches don't respawn if 2 persons are on the server (even when they are in the same area!). The moment my friend went offline 4-6 witches spawned in about 5 sec. At that time we have ad about 90 Entities in the area. 1. The same happens with my big mobfarm. Basically its a HUGE spawnarea way up in the air at ~120. Its built quite good, all is dark and once i am up in the air, mobs can only spawn in that farm. Once two players are online no monsters spawn. Once a player leaves (sometimes) they start spawning and i get a massive amount of drops out of that mobfarm - about a chest full in 10 to 20min. However this only happens sometimes. Very often the farm doesn't work at all. The only times it works im completely alone on the server. 2. The third farm where this happens is a new gold farm i made way up in the Nether. I basically used the dark oak trick to brake though the bedrock and went up to Y 250. Around there i build some spawn-platforms to see if it works. I do get spawns, don't get me wrong, however the spawns cap at 8 Entities. After that nothing else happens. So i basically paused my gold farm project there. So in general: We have a very weird spawn behaviour on our rented gameserver. It's vanilla, its SMP and 1.7.9. What could cuase those problems? Why don't our farms work? How can we fix that? Thanks a lot for your help and ideas! We are playing on that server for more than a halve year now and have build tons of stuf.

I have added to several towns an extra road piece (one of the side squares) to give road access to that center square; yet it still does not build, even after all other squares in the same block have built and blocks more distant from town center are well built, too. Meanwhile, a town constantly adding population will, on occasion, build on a square that has _not_ got road access; the new building may be a square away. This can happen if towns are not allowed to build their own roads and player doesn't build them, either. So road access, while it seems to contribute, is neither necessary nor sufficient for a new building. It's certainly clear that a well-serviced town grows quickly while an unserviced town hardly grows at all. So station service _to the town_ is vital. But should a square fall within some serviced station's _catchment area_ to build? Again, I've seen growth outside of any catchment area so this is not necessary; but perhaps it's a particular incentive. Does terrain affect building? That is, is building on a square encouraged or discouraged by rough terrain, trees, slopes (building on slopes enabled), rocks, or freshly cleared bare land? What other factors affect the likelihood that a given square will build? Game mechanics is silent on this topic. Browsing forums turns up a scattering of information, much conflicting and some almost certainly wrong. What's the truth? _2012-02-12:_ Experiment suggests a square may be more likely to build if two or more road tiles are adjacent -- meaning any of the surrounding 8 squares. A single adjacent road tile provides little or no incentive; two may be barely sufficient; three or more encourages. So corners of a block, which are adjacent to 5 road tiles, often build first. Note that a single straight road provides 3 adjacent road tiles. So I've been running an extra road in newly developed town (I never allow town to build roads), cutting the block down to a 2x3. When the center square builds, I remove the extra road. This works... sometimes. _2012-02-14:_ Some forum posts suggest that towns want to build \"evenly\"; that is, they will avoid building on squares more distant from town center **until** squares are build nearer. This is a stronger statement than merely to say it's **more likely** that a near square will build than a far square: near construction gates far construction. Example: I'm now seeing two towns, roughly alike, both bounded by water, each composed of 4 blocks. In one, town center is equidistant from the sea on all sides; in the other, town center is a corner almost sticking out over the water. The former grew, the latter does not, despite all encouragement for 30 years. There is one big buildings in that one off-center-center corner; all the rest is small houses and vacant land. I'd like to see this confirmed in source. Towns _will_ build far before near is absolutely solidly built; what's the function?"} {"_id": "107389", "title": "Why does Punkbuster kick me when I join BF3 servers?", "text": "I enjoyed Battlefield 3 on Xbox, so I signed up for EA Origins and bought the PC version.

I don't know how that's possible, but any mouse or keyboard interaction I do, I can feel at least a half-a-second delay until the HDTV displays my input. For example, if I click on an icon, I can visually see it selected after at least half a second. So I wanted to see how much that would affect gaming, I fire up WoW and it is so difficult to play with that lag. Moving around, casting spells, and clicking buttons are all on that same 500ms delay. Make no mistake though, I don't see a lag in graphics -- I get the normal 60-75 fps just fine, but it feels like it takes a while for the display to _display_. And the weirdest thing is that if I move over the mouse to the normal monitor, the responsiveness is absolutely normal. Move it back to the TV, and it's on that lag again.

All of my friends also use so that we may work as a team and revive each other. We have all noticed that sometimes when we get downed, we mysteriously die almost immediately. The amount of time you survive while downed depends on whether you have the Pro version of the perk unlocked or not. Without Pro, you die in about 5 seconds of being downed with no possibility of being revived. With Pro, you can survive for about 30 seconds and team mates may revive you. Either way, sometimes you suddenly die more quickly then this. I have been downed before and dies before I can get out the words to ask my team mates for a revive. We originally thought that it happened when you tried to descend a staircase while downed. This is not true though because I have actually crawled down entire stair cases several times while downed. I have also mysteriously, quickly died while on seemingly flat surfaces. I can also assure you that I am not accidentally holding the suicide button (X on my XBOX).

As a tank, and as Rammus specifically, I tend to get a lot of assists which helps build up to that 15% reduction. That got me thinking, how does this interact with some of the various other methods to reduce damage, though? There are at least 3 methods I know of. * **Armor/Magic Resist** - Detailed quite thoroughly here. * **Reduce damage by fixed number** - Amumu's Tantrum has a passive that does this, and there's also a Mastery that affects this. * **Reduce damage by percentage** - The aforementioned Leviathan item and the Mastery. **What is the order in which these effects are applied**? Do the latter two apply to the damage after armor/magic resist is factored in, or do they alter the damage prior to calculating armor/magic resist? Are there any other methods of damage reduction that have their own special effects for this? If it's not too far off to simultaneously address, do damage amplifying effects like Vlad's ultimate _counter_ the corresponding damage reduction methods, or do they multiplicatively stack with the results at some stage?

Most people that I see posting questions on overhaul mods seem to agree that cost scaling (with 100% cost decrease effects on armor) is just plain broken. 100% fortify destruction = infinite dual thunderbolt = enemies are perpetually staggered. 100% fortify alteration = entire enemy team is paralyzed for the rest of the game. So I have been researching how to make a mod with abilities where effect scales with level and armor skill buffs/perks instead of scaling down with cost. There are several overhaul mods that do similar stuff, but it appears that they use global modifiers to nullify the default cost scaling. I don't want to use global settings to implement this - just in case I ever want to release the resulting mod to the public, I don't want it to interfere with existing overhauls. * * * First I tested building abilities that are not linked to any skill (not linked to restoration/alteration/conjuration/etc...). This just made them not show up in any powers and abilities tab. Next thing I tested is implementing them as non-aligned Powers with no cooldown. This appears to work somewhat, but it appears that the in-game support for equipping powers in either hand appears to be buggy/nonfunctional. For example, I made a modified version of the starting \"Flames\" effect that continuously throws fire bolts every 1/5 of a second, designated it as a Power (with no cooldown, as opposed to some powers that are once per day), and set its valid equip slots to \"either hand\". When I had my character equip the testing effect in either hand and held down the corresponding mouse button, the effect stopped after a fraction of a second with a message \"Powers can only be used once a day\". (Remember that I did not set it up with a once per day limit). If I held down the mouse button again to re-test, the same thing happened. The amount of time the effect remained active was actually long enough for 1 or 2 fire bolts to appear before the effect cancelled itself with the incorrect cooldown error, which is obviously a game-engine or construction set bug. tl;dr: \"How to make abilities in the Skyrim Construction Set with a fixed cost that can be equipped in either hand while not changing any global variables or settings\"?

I started Dota 2 3,4 months back as my first MOBA game. At the same time my 2,3 friends transitioned from DotA to Dota 2. They were playing DotA since it came out. Obviously they were way better than me in Dota 2 but when I learned the basics I wasn't that bad compared to them. When we got MMR (almost at the same time) I got 1k while all of them got above 3.5k. Apart from a little humiliation :), the biggest downside was I was not able to join them in party because of the difference of the MMR. Before ranked matches were open, we played in party so many times and they could rely on me both as a carry and support (with selective heroes off-course). The point is The difference between their and my game was not as large as 1k and 3.5k. So I did some research and found that there are some factors apart from wins and loses in TBD phase that decide MMR. If not all , some of them are: 1. They option you select when first time you fire up Dota2 from a new account. (I selected \"Dota 2 is my first MOBA\", They selected \"I have played Dota 2 before\") 2. KDA and SC in every match. Even before the TBD phase of MMR. (I thought I would perform good in TBD phase and I did but before that I played every solo match as practice match, experimenting) 3. The 9 or 10 matches of TBD phase have no significance except they show the last remaining matches before calculating public MMR. There were more, but I found these three more relevant. So I have made a new account and I am trying to avoid the mistakes I made before. But I cannot authenticate the validity of these factors. So my question is if these factors affect MMR or not? P.S. One thing I noted while playing in new account (I selected \"I have played Dota 2 before\") that in my first match all the players were of 18-25 level. If unranked matchmaking also uses public or private MMR instead of player level than I guess at-least the first point is true."} {"_id": "36562", "title": "How do I get rid of the 40% damage cap on elites?", "text": "In patch 1.03, a cap was added such that any attack done to elite enemies (e.g. lieutenants, mages, saarebas, and rage demons) is capped to 40% of their health.

This is in addition to the standard 1 turn of overproduction that any race can hold. In most contexts in Endless Space, you can inefficiently convert industry into science or dust at a 33% conversion rate. Although this \"wastes\" a lot of potential, it can give you a momentary boost to dust or science, which can be tremendously useful when you're on a tight turn clock to get something done, e.g. during a war. By default, if you have stacked production as the Automatons, and you choose to convert industry into dust or science, it'll only burn what you produce that turn. Is there any way to tell the game to sell off your stacked production and convert it into dust or science? Even in our relatively primitive culture on Earth you see this kind of thing happen: stacked production could be something like spare parts, sheets of steel, oil or coal, etc. These things can quite easily be converted into \"dust\" (money) by simply selling them off. To convert them into science requires a bit more creative thinking, but one way I can envision to do that would be the case of, for example, the Manhattan Project, where many giant expensive magnets had to be purchased to build calutrons for uranium enrichment. Science experiments often do need \"industrial\" resources to build, as well; take the LHC for instance, which is a marvel of civil engineering as much as it is a marvel of science. Would be great if you could take stacked production from Automatons' worlds and sell it off for a quick burst of dust in a sticky situation (to support a diplomatic negotiation with dust to sweeten the pot, for instance)."} {"_id": "108278", "title": "How does the in-game time and the day/night cycle work?", "text": "First time I played the Summit Forest level, it was night: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FZI3b.jpg) When I fast traveled to come back there later, it was day: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vcma5.jpg) How does time pass in the game?

This made sense, as in previous iterations, players chose from a selection of pre-built decks (much like a purchased 'starter' deck in the tabletop game,) and could only increase available cards _for_ that deck by winning duels. Magic 2014's Sealed Play mode was an exception - you'd unlock booster packs, for use in your Sealed Play library which in turn was used to construct Sealed Play decks, which could only be played against other Sealed Play decks and not standard decks. Magic 2015 operates under a sort of hybrid format - you still start with a predefined deck, but it's customised in the style of Magic 2014's Sealed Play, i.e. completion of single player duels rewards you with a booster pack, which enters your card pool, out of which you customise your starting deck or create new ones. However, based on my experience thus far with multiplayer games in Magic 2015, there doesn't appear to be a tangible reward - when you win a match, you are returned to the main menu and recieve no notification of a booster or unlocked card. The only discussion I could find on the subject (on the Steam forums, via Google) was inconclusive; none of the reviews I've read have mentioned this.

And sorry for my bad English it isn't my first language :) Thanks all. edit-- Mrlemon is right, i found them in the map but cant open them in minecraft itself. i compare the 2 maps with one that i can open in minecraft (and see) but dont see a diffrents in between those ill show u guys some screen shots of it.

The idea behind this is for the ADC to be able to dish out as much damage as possible while depending on his support to keep him alive. I get this - it sounds reasonable. What if you beleive you can last-hit just fine, you want to be able to trade well against the enemy, perhaps even win a 2v2 or 1v1 engage? Obviously as ADC you also would like to stay alive during a full engage, making hp or armor/resist a wish. What it comes down to is prioritizing, i get that. I also get that everyone seem to prioritize building only damage. I just don't get WHY. Say you go back as adc with 875 gold, so does the other adc. One of them buys a pickaxe the other one buys a chainmail and health pots. Once back in the lane, the fighting starts to break out. Let's examine the following scenarios: 1. Only the two adcs are present (both supports still at shop or for some reason just recalled). 1v1 2. All four bot laners are back in lane. 2v2 3. Disengage and continue to farm and harass The defense adc can pop a potion just before the engage (chain mail being cheaper than pickaxe), effectly increasing hp as well. Let's also assume both teams target the enemy adc. The pickaxe adc will dish out more damage (+25) per hit, only to get it reduced by the armor (+40). The way i understand armor is, that each 1 point in armor is increasing (effectively) hp by 1%. Making the armor a +40% hp. I'm aware this only works for attack damage, meaning any magic or true damage will go though as normal. I'm aware the calculations are getting pretty hard now, so i'm gonna try and simplify it by assuming it's only a 1v1 adc/adc match. Also i'm assuming all damage from both sides is going to be pure physical since after all we are comparing a physical boost (+25 attack damage) to a physical defense (+40 armor). Let's also assume both adcs are caitlyn (honestly it's easier and also my lol assistant listed her as free this week, making it easy to one-click and read stats). Let's assume they are both level 5. (Effective) hp for damage adc: (390hp + (4 lvl * 80hp)) * (1 + (17armor + (4lvl * 3.5armor)) / 100) = 710hp * 1.31 = 930hp (Effective) hp for armor adc: (390hp + (4 lvl * 80hp)) * (1 + (17armor + (4lvl * 3.5armor) + 40 armor) / 100) = 710hp * 1.71 = 1214hp Giving the armor adc an extra (excluding the healing pots) 1214hp-930hp = 284hp (it's equivalent to 710hp*0.4armor - just wanted to make it clear that i was factoring it all in) Let's finish it up. 284hp/25 damage = 11,36 Without calculating the healing pots, the damage adc will win the engange if it lasts beyond 11 (atleast 12) auto attacks. That is a lot of auto attacks. Consider a normal fight - it should last less than that if you factor in the skills again (QWER) and also if you calculate the supports. Speaking of which. If supports are pure AD based, the favor obviously still swings towards the defense adc. If the supports are pure AP (kind of unrealistic since auto attacks should still be ad) then the formular still holds. The factor damage dealt/received by the two adcs would still favor the armor untill the 12 adc auto attack. Which will be even less likely since both supports are also focusing the adcs - making the engage last fewer turns. I'm fully aware all this will chance once you factor in ganks, bursts, etc. I just wanted to review a pretty common scenario. My calculations (if correct) shows that the early game would favor the armor adc - but i do understand the importance of building the Infinity Edge first. I just think getting the early kill(s) - if the armor adc succeed in capitalize on his advantage - probably would put you in a situation where you probably would still get there first, and this time also wearing a chain mail? **Am i missing something or are adc just blinded by a lust for more damage?** BTW, i main support, which is why i probably don't get the adc mindset..."} {"_id": "76832", "title": "Is there any other opportunity to get the map in Pokemon Yellow?", "text": "I started a new game in Yellow.

Regardless of which car I'm driving, I can see competitors (including those driving the same type of car as me) visibly gaining on me, even if they spun out earlier and simply should not be able to catch up this quickly. And if I don't actively block them, they will eventually overtake me, which means they must have at least 20-30 km/h on me, even on long straights where I'm driving at full tilt in the exact same car. I've observed a similar effect in Touge events, where the AI drivers seem to be getting much faster times when competing against me, compared to against other AI drivers. The difference can be as high as 30 seconds, e.g. two AI drivers in the quarter final both finish around the 2:30 mark, the winner then races against me and inexplicably finishes around 2:00 like me. It seems completely unrealistic for a driver to have that much variation in his performance. Plus they never seem to do this when racing against another AI driver. So, does the AI in Grid cheat? Specifically, is the AI drivers' performance somehow scaled to match that of the player, in order to provide more of a challenge? If so, how is this affected by the difficulty setting?

They're complicated. I'd like to put together a formula to judge _about_ how much damage per second I'm doing over a period of time. I know all the stats that go into DOT, but I can't quite piece it all together into a function. What I really want to know is how much DOT damage will happen over a given Length of time, given DOT damage, DOT % (per shot), Rate of Fire (chances to add DOT). I don't care about bullet damage, that's easy to work out. And yes I know any estimation will be overly optimistic, but so are simple bullet damage DPS stats. First we have the damage per second listed on the gun. This damage in reality is going to be affected by level of target - attacker then multiplied by the multiplication factor as noted in this damage table. We're going to ignore all of that as those multipliers can be added after our equation. We'll call this **DOT damage**. Second we have our chance to add a Status Effect DOT. This is made up of the value on the gun plus the value added from skills, plus the Badass Rank bonuses, plus any relevant Percentages are combined _additively_ , though the value is always 0 if the gun's effect chance is 0. We'll just call this combined chance **DOT %**. Third we have the DOT length which I spell out here; 5 seconds for fire, 2 for Shock, 8 for Corrode. We'll call this **DOT Length**. Each DOT lasts only this long, so DOT stacks will constantly be added and expire after this time has been reached for the first stack. Fourth we have **Rate of Fire** ; the bullets hitting the target per second. We'll go ahead and assume 100% of the bullets hit the target since this is a theoretical measure. Finally we have the **Length** of time the target is under fire, from the first bullet's impact to the last. This is what we'll divide total damage by and how we'll know So putting it together we have DOT Damage multiplied by the current number of stacks, stacks expiring by DOT Length after they start and spawning by (Rate of Fire multiplied by DOT %) for period Length. The stacks starting and stopping is the hardest part. I'm not sure if that can be modeled, but a measure using something like \"average stacks at any given time\" would be acceptable. I have all the pieces (if I'm missing something just ask, I probably know it), I just can't figure out how to put them together _considering DOT expiration_.

The easy answer would be try a few difficulties and see how hard they are and how I feel about playing character X at difficulty Y. But that is subjective. I am looking for something as objective as possible: I know this question is not strictly objective but I am sure the community has some sort of guideline. Perhaps a chart or table that says \"to get the most out of Master, your character should be in this stat range. Below this you will struggle, above this you are wasting your time.\" For example, I have a 70 (32) wizard with 232k damage, 4.4m toughness and 15k healing (this question is NOT about my wizard, just using it as an example). If I walk into a Normal game I would expect people to tell me it is a waste of my time, just as I would expect players in Torment VI to say this character is not ready yet and needs more time on lower difficulties to gear up. What I have found is Expert seems to be the right place, but I cannot explain _why_ using objective means. Part of the reason for asking is this: if I enter a game that my character's gear says I should breeze through but I do not, perhaps the problem is between the chair and the keyboard and I need to evaluate skills and strategy. **Edit:** my end goal here is eventually to be in Torment for the better loot and the prestige of being able to handle the highest difficulties.

This means that big missiles like torps and cruise missiles are not as effective against frigates as they are against battleships. Assuming that my understanding of missile mechanics is correct, shouldn't target painters effectively increase the damage a missile does to a target? Even with the stacking penalty that two of them get for being on your ship, you'd still get a sizable damage increase because their sig radius has been increased.

Essentially preventing people from having fun and beating the other team through injury. Supplementary question; is this done deliberately? That is, has a game company ever come out and said we can't have this feature because sponsors or FIFA or license holders etc. won't allow it? Main question; it appears it is possible in FIFA 12 because there are two separate settings for penalties and injuries. However I have just played two 6 minute games and couldn't manage to get anyone sent off due to injury. However if I set both settings to ON then it is quite easy (even if it costs me a couple of red cards) to at least get one person sent off injured. So is this possible in FIFA 12 on iOS?

I'm now playing at Hard/Casual, and I'm starting to have trouble--I'm losing units almost every battle, and while Casual mode limits the impact of these losses to the current battle, I feel like I'm doing things wrong.

I have the EXPonential Growth and The Golden Gaffe DLC packs, but I'm trying to rely on them as little as possible.) The Fire Emblem franchise has had a very high difficulty throughout most of its history. While recent titles have offered lower difficulty options, the high difficulty of many of these games has been well accepted, at least in Japan. A large portion of the Fire Emblem community, from what I can tell reading forum posts online, plays Awakening at difficulty levels higher than Normal, and Casual mode is strongly frowned upon. This isn't limited to Fire Emblem. Other turn-based strategy games, like Battle For Wesnoth and XCOM: Enemy Unknown, tend to be designed for high difficulty (though to a lesser extent with Wesnoth).

If so, are books, letters, keys omitted from this or are only certain books, and letters omitted such as skill books or quest related items? Example: By this method could one, in retrospect, harvest bookshelves to amass a collection of all Amalur literature? Or could one simply clear out all houses for just a little sanctification of perfection? P.S. Disregarding the inventory/stash limitations, as this is easily circumvented via killing the vendors to create duplicates of items, such as backpacks, which translates to infinite space."} {"_id": "96482", "title": "How to gift WoW to friend in France?", "text": "Have a friend homebound with cancer.

When modding Dwarf Fortress raw files, the format of a color token is fairly simple: [COLOR:8:7:0] ...where 8 is the foreground color, 7 is the background color, and 0 is the brightness flag. If set to 1, the brightness flag adds eight to the foreground color, if it's not already a bright color (8 through 15). The background color must be a dark color (0 through 7). The color for each number is given in the wiki. However, there are different types of color tokens: `COLOR`, `DISPLAY_COLOR`, `BUILD_COLOR`, `BASIC_COLOR`, and `TILE_COLOR`. Per the wiki, the `COLOR` token should apply for all, but that doesn't seem to be the case in all circumstances. I set bronze to `[DISPLAY_COLOR:4:2:0]`, meaning brown foreground and dark green background, expecting that objects such as doors would be mostly bronze- colored with some green, hopefully looking something like a patina. However, when I constructed a door it came out all green. Do metal doors use the background color rather than the foreground color? Testing with another metal I get the same behavior: a door uses the metal's background color. Adding a `[BUILD_COLOR:4:2:0]` token makes bronze doors brown, but without any green. Doors are described as multi-color in the wiki, but not if made of metal it seems. I see that wooden barrels and stone doors use the foreground and background colors I specify with `DISPLAY_COLOR`, as expected, while coffins use the foreground color only. Cages appear to blend the foreground and background colors, as I get slightly different shades of yellow for birch, maple, and pine, which I set to `[DISPLAY_COLOR:14:7:0]`, 14:4:0, and 14:6:0, respectively.

I ended up using flying to reach the few treasure chests that you're meant to use the treasure maps to find hidden platforms to get to as well as the skull artifact, which was my last artifact acquired. I have to admit that I finally just looked up the solution to the security question and the black monolith (sad day), however this brings me to... **I have 32 gold cubes and 31 anti-cubes. I have (I believe) 3 heart pieces. The only two rooms that are not outlined in gold on my world map are:** * **the _island with the 64-cube door_** (white outline plus 'Secret' icon) and * _**the telescope observatory interior_** (white outline but no icon on the map) I got both the heart piece and anti-cube in the observatory, ages ago. What else is there in the observatory? I've stared at the patterns in the bookshelves below forever, but can't seem to make anything intelligible out of it. I've also tried about every key combo that I could think of on the 64-cube door island to no avail. **I'm at a loss as to where I'm meant to find the last anti-cube.

Once the bundle is over the offer has then since expired. This includes any order adders. Any game in a bundle with a padlock beside the title will be marked as either a Beat the Average, Beat the $6 or $15. As long as purchases made at or exceeding these levels, or have had enough added to the existing order during the designated Bundle sale time will receive any games that are \u201clocked\u201d.

However, I've seen few (if any) about Skyrim actually _crashing_ the system. Perhaps my case is actually a lag, and I'm just not waiting long enough. The lag cases seem to be related to Autosaves, and I will admit that some of my crashes seem to be around the point an Autosave might occur. However, sometimes it's also during a load operation. Sometimes, it appears rather random. Usually, a reboot will leave me in the clear for a couple hours or so. I've had the system crash on me twice in just tonight's session of a few hours. Once, it appeared that it was just the game that had crashed - I was able to access the PS3's menu by holding the PS button. However, after selecting to quit the game, my system instead gave an error beep and rebooted. Every other time though, the whole system would just be hung - I couldn't even access the shutdown menu, a couple minutes after the start of the hang. Is this a known common issue with the game? Or, is this just my PS3 telling me I'm playing too much Skyrim and it needs a break? Could it be an actual problem with my system? One bit of information that would be helpful in diagnosing this is, from those who are more intimately familiar with the \"lag and chopping\" I'm reading about, how long does the system typically hang during Autosave lag? P.S.: I'm aware that a proposed workaround for the \"lag\" issue is to disable Autosave, but I've had that feature save my tail enough times I'd rather not.

The Bulbapedia page seems to suggest that each of these pokemon should appear equally frequently, but my experience (while I haven't gone through the whole song and dance of a statistical test) doesn't seem to bear that out. Even if you interpret it to mean that Surskit should appear twice as often as the other two (since his presence is due to both Britney and Gene), it still doesn't seem to be consistent with the results I get.

The trouble is that the preferred crop conditions for various crops are directly contradictory.

Given that a Bio Farm generates so many things, does it generate less of any particular crop? **If I have a Rum Distillery that I keep supplied with two sugar farms, do I need two Bio Farms to keep it supplied, or do I need three (or more) Bio Farms growing cash crops?** Is the Bio Farm's production of a particular crop reduced because it produces other crops in addition?

This ranks me at about 30th in my division. Using SC2Ranks.com, I looked at one of the top Gold divisions and noticed that if I were in Gold, I would be ranked at about 60th place, assuming points mean the same thing across leagues. So that is my question, does it make sense for me to compare points across leagues? The reason I ask is because we recently created a custom division for Starcraft.org - you can see it at this link. You'll notice the top Platinum player has around 741 points, whereas the top Diamond player has around 537. If points meant the same thing across leagues, I would expect the website to rank the 741-point player at the top, despite him being in Platinum league. I also notice that that custom division website gives each person a \"value\" - which I had presumed was some combination of points + league, making me question further whether points could be compared against leagues. So can you compare points across leagues?"} {"_id": "100341", "title": "How come every time I try to go on my friends towers it always auto quits?", "text": "How come every time I try to open up to my friend's tower it always auto quits on me???

They out pushed the lane, and we couldn't defend against their push. We were unable to take advantage of our 2 v 1 on bot. After that we lost a few team fights and then the game was over. We can win when we are in laning phase and there are no lane swaps made. However, when team fights start, we just come too late or simply lose the fight. Yes, we win sometimes but if enemy team is stronger, we just lose. After few lost team fights, they just push together and that's it. We try to defend but they're fed and we can't do anything.

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

It was working relatively fine until I changed the router password. When I attempted to change the network configuration for the PS3 to use the new password, everything went to hell. First, I had an amazing time trying to get the PS3 to even connect to the router (remember, the only setting changed was the password, same algorithm, etc). I ended up having to assign it a static IP (the previous IP was technically static - the router renews LAN addresses every month since only a couple of people use it), and manually forward all of the ports required before it would even pass a connection test. Now it connects fine, reports a great signal strength, (hovers between 90-95%) and up/down speed, yet takes an incredible amount of time to retrieve game profiles and such. When my room-mate can get onto a server in Call of Duty/other FPS games, he experiences frequent lag spikes and connection drops. The bizarre thing is that the only thing that has changed recently was the password and the PS3 seems to be convinced the network is fine. In fact, it reports a better connection than my laptop gets. Even the in-game network quality bar hovers between 3-4 bars (out of 4) despite the latency jitter. This problem confounds me since there does not appear to be any issue with the wifi and since it does work on and off. There can't be a port forwarding issue (since such an issue would cause consistent problems). I have a cable modem which is bridged over ethernet(properly) with a wireless router (which acts as the access point) (Linksys WRT54G) running DD-WRT firmware. **After** I discovered the problem, I tried tweaking all sorts of settings which could possibly be related (i.e TCP/UDP timeout, beacon interval, MTU, cleared UPnP ports and restarted, forwarded every port I could find that was related to MW3 and PSN, etc), but to no avail. Note that a few days ago, I set up a web server and forwarded port 80, but as far as I know, the PS3 does not have any services that listen on that port (only outbound). Besides, you'd think that if that was the problem, the connection wouldn't be intermittent, it simply wouldn't work. Either way, removing the port forward rule does not fix the problem."} {"_id": "138716", "title": "How can you recognize an armored enemy?", "text": "I'm trying to meet the in-game goal of killing an armoured enemy in less than five seconds.

If you are being hacked by another player, do you **always** notice and get a chance to respond? 2.

However, once one of my nearby colonies became self-sustaining, this triggered the entire area into forming Dutch Columbia.

Some sort of bouquet naturally).

(I see that I can buy multiple Ninjutsu Reference Book, but they are very pricy and I'd hate to buy one in vain). * Can you gift a single character with the same item multiple times? If so, is there some sort of cool down? * In the event that certain characters require several gifts to reach the best relationship level, how often can you gift them? Is this simply limited to the rate at which new/different gifts become available? * Do you need gifts to get the best relationship level with all characters, or do some characters just end up liking you naturally through events/sidequests? * Do all characters have specific locations in which they appear when you are between missions?

Completely reliable. Preferably, once I build this trap, I'd like it to be mob-proof, with no chance of 3 spiders clogging the trap for an hour. Additionally (although this isn't quite so important), it would be nice for there to be an escape route, in case I accidentally fall into the trap myself. 3. Good item-gathering. Self-explanatory. I want the trap to gather all of the items (losing string I don't care about, but I want to collect all the useful drops like gunpowder and arrows), and deposit them via water/whatever method works at a nice drop- off point outside the trap.

Then I thought I might check on the combat logs -- turns out my dwarves were being killed by boulders.

I was successful on Medium, then on Hard...but on Very Hard my best time with Terrans was 5m2s... but usually it takes 5m30s, 6m15s... I couldn't find the quicker way... So I switched to Protoss... Finally, I've beaten the A.I. in 4m40s, and now I'm itching to beat the A.I. on Insane level. I did that with a lot of effort on Very Hard, but I'm afraid that my strategy won't work for Insane. I will probably try to cannon rush, but I'm not sure if it will help. Please advise: what race, what strategies? I haven't tried it myself yet, and I don't see any good strategy. On Very Hard with Protoss against Terran I played in such way: In the very beginning build new Probe - it will go to build a Pylon close to enemies base; build Pylon, Gateway, Gateway, Gateway - 3 gateways. Why? In order to get enough zealots quicker. After building 3rd gateway my probe is going to disturb their SCVs. It is not actually too successful, but it is boring to sit and wait for 1st zealot. When 1st gateway is completed you should have enough money for 1st zealot. it should go to opponent base and run close to Barrack/SCVs. While there are no marines - kill SCVs (don't get them to surround you. when marine appears - kill him with zealot. Keep producing zealots, when you reach supply limit - send your probes to die - you will get 1 more zealot. If you have money you can build 1 more pylon and train more zealots, but 6 was enough for me (2Pylons=>18 food - 6 probes=12/2 = 6 zealots). I found this tactic almost from 10 attempts, and final time was 4m40s. I did that on... the 1st map in the list (please let me know what it's named, I don't remember that). I don't think that will work on Insane. Probably I need to build 2 gateways and get 3 probes with myself to push AI...? P.S.

Anyone have any ideas? 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Stopping the server 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Stopping server 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Saving players 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Saving worlds 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Saving chunks for level 'world'/Overworld 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Closing listening thread 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Stopping server 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Saving players 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Saving worlds 2014-04-24 13:46:27 [INFO] Saving chunks for level 'world'/Overworld 2014-04-24 13:46:29 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version 1.4.7 2014-04-24 13:46:29 [INFO] Loading properties 2014-04-24 13:46:29 [INFO] Default game type: SURVIVAL 2014-04-24 13:46:29 [INFO] Generating keypair 2014-04-24 13:46:29 [INFO] Starting Minecraft server on 192.223.30.49:25565 2014-04-24 13:46:29 [INFO] Preparing level \"world\" 2014-04-24 13:46:29 [INFO] Preparing start region for level 0 2014-04-24 13:46:30 [INFO] Done (0.937s)!

This not only solves the stuttering but also reduces the noise and temperature of the CPU / its fan while gaming. However, most games don't offer a comparable functionality (not that there are too many running on OSX :-) ) Especially when playing Left4Dead 2, I really miss `fps_max` (which is not available there).

One point that takes a considerable amount of time to pass is the piston/water wheel section, the first requires you to jump to the ledge of the piston, I've found out **pressing the jump button just as the piston goes down slightly before popping up** works most of the time, I can clear the piston jump on my 2nd try, 3rd tops. However the water wheel jump gives me a lot of trouble, and it seems to me like I'm doing something wrong. I was wondering if I'm doing it right. Here's my method: 1. Climb to the brown platform left of the wheel, stand facing the wheel's side 2. Wait for the wheel's platform to move past me 3. Jump as the top platform is completely horizontal (jumping earlier never seems to work) 4. If I managed to grab the platform, climb up 5. _Try_ jumping towards the lever. I mostly fail at step 3, I can grab the platform maybe once every 4-5 tries. Even when I do, it seems sometimes to be too late because I don't manage to jump towards the lever in time, 80% of the time the moment I manage to stand up I immediately fall off the wheel because the platform I'm standing on will be facing downwards by now. I can see several places where I might be doing something wrong: 1. I may be jumping from a position too far or too close to the wheel. Since grabbing ledges from different distances/heights results in longer grab animation, I might be wasting time before climbing up. 2. I only jump straight at the wheel. I've tried jumping diagonally towards the platform before it's right in front of me but like I said this never worked. Bottom line: What can make me make this jump more often? It can take me up to 5 mins to clear this section and as anyone who tried clearing the game under 2 hours, you don't have too much spare time..."} {"_id": "20890", "title": "Hiding minecarts, security system", "text": "Some time ago I have seen a minecart security mechanism which hid the minecarts below the surface and made them appear on a lever-switch.

If they reproduce at all, I doubt they do so sexually. * Krogan * Protected class. Females are so critical to the Krogans' survival as a species, that they're kept separate from the rest of Krogan society. I wouldn't expect to see them unless we had a mission that actually involved them as a group. This still leaves several rather major species where I can't think of a real explanation for me not having noticed any females yet. * Turians * Elcor * Volus * Salarians * Drell * Hanar * Though I doubt we'd be able to tell a difference, there could be Hanar who exhibit more feminine qualities than the ones I've interacted with so for. That is, if they reproduce sexually at all. So, am I missing something? Are there any female NPCs which are representatives of the species in that last list - interactive or not?

This ended up falling sort-of in line with my expectations regarding any possible appearance of a female Krogan - it specifically involves a sub-plot that affects the future of Krogan females as a whole.

One of the main reasons I like it over the CoD games is that getting your special purchases (equivalent to killstreak rewards) doesn't require you to be insanely good (and/or lucky) since you can save up the points during a game for something like an airstrike. This benefits players like me who can rack up 2/3 kills in a row but rarely more while not penalising the hardcore players who rack up lots of points anyway since they can afford to use the purchases more often. But what frustrates me is that the airstrikes seem to very hard to aim, there is no obvious way afaict to distinguish between friendly and enemy soldiers from the targetting screen. Vehicles are not relevant here because the cursor does change to red when hovering over an enemy vehicle. This difficulty in targetting is very irritating when you've saved up for an airstrike for most of the game only to have it hit nothing (or on one unfortunate ocassion myself)!

Armor absorbs a certain percentage of incoming damage to the champion, it is not on a 1:1 scale. For example having 100 armor does not block 100% of incoming damage. Armor also does not scale up at the same pace throughout the game, buying 15 armor at the beginning of the game when you have 40 armor has a greater impact than buying 15 armor at the end, when you already have over 100 armor. Finally, different items have a different cost-effectiveness for armor values: Cloth Armor costs 300 gold and gives 15 armor, that is **20** armor per gold Chain Vest costs 720 gold and gives 40 armor, that is **18** armor per gold So taking into account the way armor scales down with the amount of current armor your champion has, and the cost effectiveness of different items that give armor, I'd like to know when is it economically right to just stop buying armor. Or **What is the armor value at the point where buying X armor will only increase damage absorption by 1% (or less), and what is the minimal gold value to get there?** For example, I played Garen on Twisted Tree Line and started with **40** armor, which said gave me a **29%** reduction to incoming damage.

But, maybe I'm missing something that could resolve this - or maybe it's the _game_ that's missing this. I'm hoping someone here can help. First, there's the bit about not being able to fight while on horseback. Okay, I'll acknowledge that's a game limitation and we have to live with it. But, it's still no less annoying and actually leads in to the problem I'm really asking about here. There's often times where I'll get off my horse to do battle, or perhaps explore something in the area that's caught my eye. Then, in the course of natural events, I'll shortly find: * I've wandered too far from my horse, in too many odd directions, to quickly find my way back to it. OR * Something's attacked or otherwise spooked the horse into wandering from where I'd left it. In either case, I'm then left out in the middle of nowhere (a description that probably fits about 85% of the land area in Skyrim) and often times I was well on my way to somewhere that I don't have a nearby Fast Travel location I can jump off from to get to. My options here are: * Wander around aimlessly and hope I stumble across my horse. OR * Walk the rest of the way to my destination. OR * Fast Travel to the nearest available location (which may not really be so near) and start my trip over again with my horse, who's then magically teleported nearby. Two much more ideal options would be: * Whistle for my horse to come to me. (Must be within a certain range of the horse.) OR * Add a horse tracker to my compass. Are these features that I'm missing, or features that the _game_ is missing? Does anyone have other suggestions as to how I can avoid these situations, or better recover from them?"} {"_id": "52272", "title": "Is there a way to call your horse in Skyrim?", "text": "> **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I find or recall my horse?

On my first playthrough, I was able to finish the quest withouth problems, was able to buy, clean-up and furnish the house, but on the second playthrough, this questline is utterly broken, and I dont know why. Quest triggered normally (walked into the graveyard at night), and I was able to persue it until the point where I had to investigate Hjerim. I talked to Tova Shatter-Shield, got the key and entered Hjerim. Inside I found the usual mess. Bones, blood, etc. The Quest updates to \"find the clues\". And this, I think, is the point where my quest broke for some reason I cannot fathom. Whenever I want to investigate (\"Use\") something inside Hjerim, nothing happens. I tried to use the chest, the bed, the little shelf with the amulet and the fliers and the \"false\" cabinet. But nothing happens. I'm not able to open the cabinet, I'm not able to pick up the amulet or the fliers. Also, instead of \"Investigate Bed\" for example, it says \"Investigate InvestigationTarget\". I got desperate, so I tried to jumpstart the questline by putting a flier in my pocket via a console command. The quest updated, and I went to find Viola Giordano. Once I found her, she came with me to Hjerim, to investigate further. She stopped next to the false cabinet and told me, that it looked unusual, and that I should investigate it. BUT I still cannot interact with it. I cant open it, and I'm stuck. I also tried to finish the whole questline via console, bought the house, cleaned up the mess, furnished it, but I still cant open the false cabinet in order to get access to the alchemy/enchanting lab. I just dont know what to do anymore, since I cant find anything on the internet about this particular situation. I hope someone can help me.

But it omits details about how height plays into common spawns. It DOES mention how slimes require the chunks they spawn in to be at a certain height level, but I'm more concerned with how the rest of the common hostile mobs spawn. (Namely Zombies, Creepers, Skeletons and Spiders) To clarify a bit: > Mobs spawn naturally within a 15x15 chunk (240x240 block) area around the > player. Ok, well, thats simple enough, one chunk is a 16x16 block centered on the player, got it. But, thats a two dimensional measurement, and this is a VERY three dimensional game. Is height irrelavent in such spawning mathmatics? If so, wouldn't that mean that I could be at sea level, with a dark cavern at bedrock beneath me, and have some of the mobs I want to slay spawn all the way at bedrock rather than at the same height I am? Or even more prevalent, (and the main reason behind the question reveals itself) I have a monster grinding tower that I've built. The tower currently has 6 floors with each floor boasting a 2 block high space for the mobs to spawn in. If you include an extra block for the actual 'floor' of each level of the tower, that makes 18 blocks high. Now if I'm near enough and far enough (as the reqs require for spawning) to and from from the tower for mobs to spawn inside of it, how (if at all) will the different high levels of the tower affect my spawn rates inside each floor?"} {"_id": "182960", "title": "What happens if I read the Elder Scrolls over and over again?", "text": "I already know the interesting thing that happens when you read the Scroll on the highest of Skyrim's mountains, and I already know what happens when you read a Elder Scroll anywhere else.

It's so bad that sometimes I get USA and Canadian servers show up above the Brazilian ones on the browser. Other people in these servers don't have the same problem, so I think it's not an issue with the servers. But I've never had this problem with other online games before (ping < 100), so I don't think it's an issue with my connection. I've tried a lot of stuff, from disabling sync and steam community, to customizing the cl variables, but it hasn't changed a bit. The only explanation I can think of is that all servers are geographically far from me (Brazil is a big country, and I kind of live on the edge). But there are so many servers, I find it hard to believe that not even a single one is close to me. Has this issue been documented somewhere? Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing it and how to solve it? **UPDATE!!** I think I have almost tracked it down. While playing TF2, I noticed a few local servers also showed very high ping for me. Looking into it, it seems all of them have IPs that start with 189.1. All the local TF2 serves that good start with 200.xxx. give me great ping. I tried tracking down the location of these servers, but they both vary between S\u00e3o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, so it's not a geographic issue. The issue is certainly NOT in the game either, Doing `ping IP_address` on the command line returned the same ping values I am getting in-game. I'm starting to think it might be my ISP, so I'gonna keep looking into it. **Second Update:** Ok. I just tested, and all computers in my house have very bad latencies when pinging the IPs in question (tested on wireless and wired). I think it's a network issue, but it's complicated. A friend of mine has the same ISP as me, and his house is about 1 mile from mine, and he doesn't have this problem. When he pings the same IP from the command line, he always gets latencies below 50. It might also be my router, but why would my router have bad latency for one IP but not for others? I think this has turned into a SuperUser question, so I'll post it there.

There are two differences between them however that makes it seem like the AH is something to be picked up later in the game, hence my question. The AH in WoW was generally used from level 1 for me as I could supply gathered crafting materials and low level green items to supply people training their crafting skill. This leads to both of the differences in that crafting skill levels are now account wide and you do not actually need to practice the skills to raise them, you just need gold (and eventually specific items). With the salvaged materials selling (very often) for less than what you could sell a magic item to the merchant it seems a waste to enter into the AH in the early game. At what point in the game (Act or Level) does it make sense to start selling items on the Auction House instead of to a merchant?"} {"_id": "66941", "title": "How do I effectively play with friends?", "text": "In Diablo 3, my character's progression is tied very tightly with the questing system. This makes it extremely difficult to play with friends who are even around the same level. In Diablo 2, only one or two quests per act were required, so if a friend fell behind or I fell behind a friend in progression - we could just finish the act in one quest and I could rapidly catch up. In Diablo 3 this doesn't seem possible. If I want to play with a friend who isn't at a 1 to 1 progression of where I am at on my quests, the only way I can play is for me to go back to previous quests and start from where he is; or my friend comes back to where I am on my quests. This makes it extremely slow to progress through the game if you're playing with different friends. After I've seen the story once on normal, I am perfectly fine with skipping some parts of the story in the name of progression for higher difficulties and new characters. My question is, what strategies exist to play with friends who are not on the same quest as you while not gimping your progression through the game?"} {"_id": "114224", "title": "How to get sushi coins faster?", "text": "I just started this game and as in almost every 2nd Kairosoft game you first have to find out how this and that works.

Sometimes I Zealot rush, other times I tech to air or robo and other times I try for a midgame push with Stalkers, but none of them seem to work great. I understand scouting is key, and making changes to your strategy have to happen but any time I change my initial strategy I do worse than just trying to stick it out.

I'm a newbie, so I know I need to work on my mechanical skills but strategy is the bigger reason I lose to one race over another, not my lack of clicks per minute. Begin Edit... Great answer. Some good insight into how to play against zerg... But it basically sounds like I need to work on my micro to more efficiently handle zerg units. Which makes me wonder, do protoss/terran players tend to play games where micro is less necessary and this is why I match so well against them. The more I think about it the more I realize my strategies, require minimal scouting and a reliance on the typical play style of the race to choose my options. Terran usually turtles and I have extra time to tech or expand, protoss is often a 50/50 of rush or tech to tier 1.5 or 2 which i can either either tech or rush also and then it comes down to who is faster or better at micro, with zerg it seems I get overrun, and my micro loses me the game."} {"_id": "53409", "title": "In Arkham City, how do you interact with Azrael?", "text": "> **Possible Duplicate:** > Can the Mystery Watcher still be found?

I just have one and the quickest provinces take about 20 months to convert. I think for the last 100 years my troups do nothing but slaughter catholic rebels - even though I have an overall stability of 2 or 3. There must be some way to do this more quickly, right?

When this happens, my dwarf gives up on brewing and moves on to other things. A similar thing happens regularly with potash production and food preparation. How can I efficiently manage these chains of dependencies?

Now the enemy can just come into my base and crush me (the one I just fought with a couple of their leftover units, or worse, a third enemy). * Upgrading units in the short term seems a waste as I have so few. * Buying a hero takes too long (and I also might not have hero upgrades yet). * Drop marines seems viable, but if I go for teched mercs, they're weaker than the enemies'. * If I manage to buy an extra savior, I might surprise them, but that seems a waste if they're attacking me with just a handful of units. Also, it's hard to get if you don't have map control. * Defensive structures seem useless against late game units. Often people just camp around in their base, and wait for someone else to make the first move and lose.

So, essentially, one should just hold down `W+Space` the whole time, and switch between holding down the `Left CTRL` and not holding it down, in order to dive bomb or not, respectively. However, every single time, I start in glide mode, then I do a dive bomb, and as soon as I let go of the `Left CTRL` button, Batman stops gliding and plummets to the ground like a bag of wet cement. I have read some things that seem to indicate pulling back (or forward) on the mouse makes a difference, but not as far as I've experienced. I've also tried every variation I can think of for how I switch between keys and which ones I hold down in what order, but nothing makes a difference. How can I get Batman to glide and dive bomb using a PC keyboard and mouse as is necessary to pass this level?"} {"_id": "27208", "title": "In the quest 'Berangar's Secrets', how do I go see Coleman if he is dead?", "text": "For this quest, I've been told to go see Coleman.

So an enemy won't _always_ be taking 1 damage per stack, one enemy that takes a 1 damage stack will suddenly take full damage the next stack, so it's not because of resistance, immunity or adaptive shields. I've even noticed these 1 DPS effects on _myself_ now, and not while using an immunity or adaptive shield. It was Fire so it should have done normal damage. Also, oddly enough, I've noticed _2_ damage per \"tick\" DOT damage from my mechro on both Fire and Shock; I think that might be because her Shock DOT is boosted 75%, and her Fire DOT was caused by a skill which turns Shock DOT into extra Fire DOT. So it would seem the base power of the hit was somehow actually 1, amplified to a beefy 2. What causes these super low damage DOT effects?"} {"_id": "135373", "title": "Do some items make the Blood Moon event more common?", "text": "I'm playing in a new 1.2 world, and the Blood Moon rises nearly every night!

Additionally, some basic ion weapons and others have been given a low chance of stunning enemies. While I can see the benefit of a weapon stunning foes as a random side-effect in a situation where I am focus-firing on a shield system and am able to delay the ongoing repairs via stun, I can't find a way to justify going out of my way to purchase a weapon whose primary effect is a stun when it suffers in other ways consequently. For example, compare the ion stunner versus the ion blast 1: -- Ion Stunner -- Warmup Time: 10 seconds Cost: 35 Scrap Ion Damage: 1 100% Chance to stun for 5 seconds Power: 1 -- Ion Blast I -- Warmup Time: 8 seconds Cost: 30 Scrap Ion Damage: 1 Power: 1 The Ion Blast 1 fires 2 seconds faster. The significance is if I pair two of these up, I can easily lower any level of shielding by staggering the shots. I'm not sure I could pull that off with the stunner. Furthermore, I don't seem to get the effect of delaying a repair because if I'm doing ion damage to a system (exclusively) they can't repair anything anyway! Also I'm out slightly more scrap for my choice. A more poignant example: -- Stun Bomb -- Warmup Time: 17 seconds Cost: ?? Scrap (Can someone fill me in?) Ion Damage: 1 System Damage: 0 Crew HP Damage: 0 (Maybe 15? I've forgotten) 100% Chance of 10 second stun Power: 1 -- Small Bomb -- Warmup Time: 13 seconds Cost: 55 Scrap System Damage: 2 Crew HP Damage: 30 Low chance of Fire Power: 1 -- Breach Bomb I -- Warmup Time: 9 seconds Cost: 70 Scrap System Damage: 1 Crew HP Damage: 30 100% chance of breach Power: 1 I won't even go into the Ion Bomb which is crazy overpowered for 1 power cost. Among these three bombs, the breach bomb is generally preferable but costs more. However, both the breach bomb and the small bomb seem to have a heavy advantage over the stun bomb. They fire far faster, deal permanent system damage instead of a _single_ point of ion, injure the crew significantly (I can't recall if the stun bomb deals 15 damage or not), and have nice side effects of a chance of fire or a certainty of a breach! I can't see why I'd want to stun crew for 10 seconds instead of those other attributes! **Am I missing some set of tactics that involve stunning the enemy crew?** What is the saving grace of the stunning weapons?"} {"_id": "41918", "title": "Using the Courtesan in multiplayer on PC", "text": "For a long time since I've been playing, I had the feeling that the **Courtesan** was just not a selectable character in multiplayer on the **PC**.

There are some strange things in the code, though. For example, the weighting of the level for the computation of the max defense is given by a multiplicative constant. But inside a geometric mean, the right way to weight should be to use level _raised to a constant power_. This is mitigated by the additive constant NEWBIE_DEF that complicates the interpretation, but the formula still makes little sense to me."} {"_id": "82331", "title": "Does a sapper affect a large robot beyond disabling his allies?", "text": "The spy's sapper can be a fairly decent fair to disable a large group of robots, though usually only have to leveling it up.

The reason behind this design (in my oppinion) is to solve the problem of Turtling (i.e. Staying back and defending most of the time without risking going out and fight). In the old map it was really easy to turtle because the distance between the last turret and the base/shop was really small so practically if you had a good defensive team you could stay safe and healed all the time and protect your mid turret whereas attackers would eventually get worn down and have to back down or overcommit and die. With this new wall between your turret and your base you can't do that anymore. They also introduced that new even wider wall seperating your nexus from the outter jungle. The reason behind this is that people would easily flash in there (or spin or jump etc) and storm your unprotected nexus after they had destroyed your last turret. **My Question:** Which skills or spells can jump over each of those walls?

According to the guide, the first set of potions should have a 25% increase in alchemy without wearing any gear at all. In my case, though, I have to wear 4 pieces of armor with 20% increase in alchemy to make potions that have an increase in enchanting of 22%! Then, if I use the potions to create new alchemy enhancing gear I only get a bonus of 22% to my alchemy on each piece which isn't enough to make new enchant potions that are any stronger than the previous. I tried to get around this by using an exploit (which I normally try to avoid) by enchanting a falmer helmet and a circlet along with the glove and ring and amulet with enhanced alchemy. This allows me to make enchantment potions that have 32% on them which is supposed to be the max. This sounds like good news but when I use the potions to go create the final set of gear that should have a value of enhanced alchemy 29%, it's only at 23%! Finally, to top off my frustrations when I create the first piece of gear with the 23% increase in alchemy, the next piece of gear I make will only have 15% even though the enchant potion is still active.

My son told me, that what I want from him is about as difficult as to achieve arena ranking 2000 in WoW. (His current ranking is around 1700). So we agreed: if and when I reach arena rating 2000 with some classes that he plays, he will start doing some things. :) ;) Now I know - that was a bad deal for me, because I need to level up a character to 90 and start arena PvP. Today I spent some time to learn about arenas in WoW and fortunately found one good friend (similarly aged peer as me /50+ years/) who plays WoW (unfortunately mostly PVE) with the following characters: * restoration/elemental shaman * affliction/destruction warlock * monk (dont remember specs) I should play one of these: * restoration/balance druid * frost/unholy DK * warlock (any) * mage (any) * priest (any) And because I have a deal with my son, I don't want cheat (so I don't want to buy some level-boosting service) but really want to reach the rating myself. To clarify: I don't looking for some long answer about the WoW - I've already found a zillion good sites and I know than every class is viable and +/- equally powerful. But hear some limitations (like my friend classes and classes what I should to play) - so looking for an simple recommendation. The questions are: * what character should I level up and learn with a goal to form the **easiest** 2v2 arena team with any of the above friends characters (in his preference: shaman/warlock/monk) and (in my preference: druid/DK/priest/warlock/mage) * do I really need to buy some \"special\" keyboards and/or pads/mices to reach rating 2000? * It is really \"so hard?\" :) Can someone give some advice?"} {"_id": "31318", "title": "How can you reliably melee?", "text": "It appears that melee attack is pressing attack plus jump at the same time, but that more often than not triggers a secondary jump-attack.

In 1.0.5 turning on monster power makes all levels of inferno items able roll level 63 affixes. Does this ability to roll higher stats affect base dps of weapons or base armor of items as well? The main goal of this question is to determine what items should be discarded if they have no chance for rolling maximum stats. Bonus points if you can determine the _likelihood_ that lower level items can roll 63 affixes and base stats. I.E.

Here's the situation: * I am not able to see Minecraft LAN games on my multiplayer screen automatically * I can see them if I add them as I would a server on the internet * I can join them if I add them, or if I connect to them directly Basically, I can join games but not find them automatically. It just says \"Scanning for games on your local network...\" indefinitely. My current theory is that while joining games obviously doesn't require opened ports _discovering them_ might - is this the case? As far as I know I can't permit specific applications through my firewall (I'm on Linux, and not that I'd care to just give a blanket permit to Java in any case) so I can't test this without having some idea of what ports would be required. It's also possible it's another issue pertinent to Linux or something else altogether, though. This isn't a huge deal as I can just ask what port the server is being hosted on, but it's been bugging me. Oh, and in case anyone comes across this question with a similar problem, I'm just going to reiterate: **You can join the game by connecting to it directly, just ask for the port. The person hosting will receive a message with it when they open the game. Then you can directly connect to it at (probably) 192.168.#.###:####.** UPDATE: Hosting on LAN works fine, I just can't see the games others host. Additionally, I should clarify I actually mean opening ports on my local firewall, I said port forwarding but that was not actually what I meant.

I just hate going into games thinking I am gonna rock it but for some reason I \"fail\" and get raged at. * * * _Details_ I have been very back and forth with my builds with Lee Sin jungle. My first build for preseason 4 typically started out (AD quints, armour seals, MR-18 glyphs, AP/AD marks) (9-11-9 masteries) 1. madreds 2. boots 3. lantern 4. tanky item (tpyically sightstone/frozen mallet) 5. mobility (or if behind tabi/treads) 6. all situational after that I stopped playing lee sin s3 because this build didn't work very often, with the overhaul of lantern I tried it again. I had 3 very positive games in a row with him right away, as I was able to just farm camps and counter gank very effectively until I hit lvl 9 when I am very tanky and I can be a serious annoyance. But after that it seemed to get worse (possibly because I had a huge win streak and my MMR jumped). After getting raged at 2 games in a row as lee I decided to do a rebuild. the typical complaint being that when I gank I am to low health or not ganking enough because im constantly low health early on, while my opponent is ganking lanes really hard. Here it is: (Lifesteal quints x2 (working on a third) 1 AD quint, AD marks, armour seals, MR-18 Glyphs) (9-21-0) (the 21 with a focus on hp5) 1. spirit stone 2. boots 3. golem 4. hyrda (typically tatmau, mobility then hydra 5. LW 6. tanky item (randuins, sunfire, maw) 7. situational after that The difference in ranked was pretty huge, went 12-4 and got my first triple with him. I shredded camps, and was able to stay healthier early on becuz of the extra sustain. I like the first build because I play more of the support role that I believe the jungler should be, warding and tanking and just being everywhere. My new build allows for a much stronger gank and bigger presence altogether. **The conflict and question I have is when should I be using these builds** , as I believe they are both good builds.

When I load them up, I merely get a black screen (with game audio as normal). Games that let me move to windowed using `Alt`+`Enter` then work fine in windowed mode (once I've played around a bit, as my laptop usually locks up upon game launch; I have to press `Alt`+`Enter` and then use the sleep button and load it back up to get it to respond). So if I can get them to run in windowed mode or borderless fullscreen windowed, they work fine. Initially, I assumed it was a driver problem, so, I uninstalled my current NVidia drivers, used an online guide to delete all traces of them as suggested, then updated to the latest ones to no avail. I have even tried backdating my drivers to the ones that came preloaded. Nothing has worked. At the moment I am running the latest drivers for my GT555M (310.70) and I am still having the same problem. I also heard it might be something to do with Avast!

Lee Sin is an amazing champion with amazing mobility, great ganks, and amazing jungle clear. I usually start red and then gank top immediately. I build assassin Lee Sin and build full AD, with the occasional tanky item. After Hunter's Machete and 5 pots, I occasionally build to Madreds Razors. Afterwards I build towards Sightstone, Bloodthirsters, upgrade to Maw, get Ravenous Hydra. My masteries are 21/9/0 with points in AD and Armor Penetration and in reduced creep damage. My runes are Flat AD Quints, Flat AD Reds, Flat Armor Yellows, and Scaling Magic Resist Blues. I smartcast all abilities except my ult. I don't smartcast any items but slot 3 which is for the sightstone. To get to the point, I play very well in a normal game and usually have a positive k/d ratio. I play strong and am able to ward jump proficiently to make a clean escape or occasionally chase, I make my skillshots 9/10 times, so I don't know what the problem is when I play ranked. I usually do okay but sometimes my team just can't play (sadly I am stuck in Bronze 5) or when I play against the enemy team, they play super passively and because of that, I can't gank them because they can get under their turret very quickly. I feel I can't do anything late game in team fights either. At a point I just backdoor, but the opposing team usually sees me and ganks me, leaving me dead to watch my team lose. I can never get my items unless I take all of my teams laning kills. I can't farm because the laners get upset if I take their CS. I can't manage well in time when ganking and jungling. I do not think I am a bad player, despite bronze 5, honestly play with me and you'll see. But I know I rely too much on enemy play style, and I want to know how to better play Lee Sin so I can be a good ranked player. **How can I become a better Lee Sin Jungler?** Being a better player means I need to know: - How do I get proper gold? - How do I play against passive players? - How do I improve my late game?"} {"_id": "124023", "title": "Why do my Achievements constantly reset?", "text": "My Achievements frequently 'forget' that I've accomplished any of them and reset as if I've never played before.

My problem is that I cannot kill the Striders as long as the Hunters are alive as they always shoot the Magnusson Devices before I can attach them to the Strider or before I can shoot them to blow up the Strider. For this reason I always kill the Hunters first before I take on the Striders. The problem with Hunters is that they are somewhat tough. So I usually resort to running them over with my car. This is, however, not as easy as one would hope because the map is full of obstacles and Hunters sometimes move in the last seconds before I can run them over. Also they are often very close to their Strider so that the Strider's legs get in my way. This means I frequently have to reverse and try to hit the Hunter again and again. Hitting the Hunters takes up most of the time I spend on the entire battle. This is a very lengthy process which means I usually end up losing all buildings on the map and towards the end it is always a very close call whether I can hold the Striders off from shooting the base. I was wondering what your tactics are to take care of the Hunter issue. Is there some better way that could kill them faster? I am aware of the secondary fire mechanism of the AR2 but I usually have only 3 shots of ammo for that and that is not going to be sufficient for the about 20 Hunters that will need to be killed in the course of the battle."} {"_id": "170222", "title": "How can I get gold faster in Clash of Clans?", "text": "I want to know how to get gold faster in Clash of Clans, so I can upgrade my town hall to level 8.

Does anybody know how to fix this if it is a bug or if I am just supposed to pay off every loan in full every time and they just don't tell you? **Update:** It turns out the original loan amount is 39,800 bells. So my 900 bells did go through. What I was expecting was the \"Pay Loan\" screen to function like the deposit and withdraw screen. The Deposit menu updates your Held Bells value to reflect the amount of bells you will have left if you make the deposit and your Account bells to the amount that will be in your bank if you make that deposit. The Withdraw screen does the same in the opposite direction of course. The repay loan menu does not do this (at least for me, which may be a bug in itself but a much less worrying one). As you can see in the linked pictures. When I put in 400 bells My held bells and bells owed stay the same as when I put in 4000 bells.

It's nice to have good mods on low-level gear, but these items are not like the more eternally-valued end-game gear.

Now, however, I am at a loss for how I can continue gunfighting. After doing several Gang Hideouts, they have become exceedingly rare (Likely because they offer Skill Points, and thus are limited encounters). Now all there are are Fixer Contracts, but most of these are car chases and the like. I am looking for something similar to the story missions and gang hideouts, where you can scout out an area and then either stealth around and kill them silently, or hack their grenades to make them blow up, or environmental hazards, or get locked in an all-out gunfight and so on. My first thought was to try and hunt the cops, which was easily achieved by shooting out a few tires on civilian vehicles (I'm Vigilante reputation - a good guy), but then I remembered that killing or even injuring cops causes you to lose reputation and become a bad guy... Thus, the fight with the cops eventually turned into a car chase. This was fun for a while, managing to get to 5 star wanted rating by switching cars as needed while the helicopter sniped me, but not what I was looking for. Now the game is becoming dull because car chases just don't do it for me, I want to sneak around and shoot people. Is there anyway to bring back the fun the story mode presented with its various gun-and-run scenarios? Perhaps a console command to make the cop-killing no longer affect your reputation, or to reset story progress without losing your weapons/accomplishments?"} {"_id": "133643", "title": "Was stranglehold region locked?", "text": "Was the game Stranglehold region locked?

It worked fine for the longest time, but recently I have a strange problem. Every time I turn it on, no matter which game I use, it acts as if I am holding the analog (or possibly d-pad) left. As a result, the only thing that works is pressing Start. When I manage to load a game (by just pressing Start repeatedly) the character spins around ceaselessly. The only other control that works is the other analog stick. This means that in Tony Hawk games, for example, I am constantly spinning in a circle. Using the other analog stick I can observe myself spinning from above, below, or any angle in between, but I can neither stop turning nor change direction using the other stick or d-pad, and as I said, no other controls work. I have tried turning the machine on with the controller in slot 1, in slot 2, and not plugged in at all. Nothing changes. I followed the instructions here: How to fix broken controllers/pads? ... although the fact that this is happening even when no controller is plugged in makes me think it is not a controller issue. I am even more sure of this since I went out and purchased a second-hand controller today, and the situation has not changed. Any ideas? **EDIT:** Borrowed another controller, a non-Sony one this time. No difference. Also took the PS2 apart and cleaned it as best I could, tried inspecting for damage but as before found nothing obvious amiss. Is it possible this is a software problem? Corrupted OS, maybe...? **EDIT 2:** In desperation to get a Tony Hawk fix, I tried PCSX2 (the PS2 emulator for PC). While in the process of hooking up my controllers to the PC, though, I ran a test and discovered something curious: One controller is sending constant buttonpress signals for all buttons _all the time_. The other controller is sending a constant signal for just one buttong (d-pad left), again _all the time_. Taking them apart and cleaning the contacts had no effect. I think I need to consider the possibility that both of my controllers _and_ the one I borrowed for testing were all, unlikely though it is, malfunctioning. The system is certainly acting as though a button is being pressed all the time. The fact that it acts the same even with no controller is hard to explain away, though.

I've gotten the orbiters on about the same orbital plane, and orbiting at about the same speed. They're down to thrusters only and there's less than 50m between them. However, I still can't seem to get them perfectly lined up for mating. The problem is that, no matter how hard I try to keep them pointed at each other, the target orbiter is always aimed just a bit off from the one I'm controlling as I get close. Sometimes, the alignment is close enough that they'll bump into each other but the docking ports won't connect - other times they completely miss each other by a few meters. What is most complicated about the whole thing is that there seems to be no way for me to \"strafe\" the orbiters. The movement options (considering the orbiter's nose \"forward\") are: * Thrust forward/backward * Roll clockwise/counter-clockwise * Yaw left/right * Pitch up/down The critical pieces I'm missing here are: * Thrust up/down * Thrust left/right To compensate for these missing controls, I have to point the orbiter in the left/right or up/down positions and use the forward/backward thrusters to effect the desired adjustments. However, by the time I get pointed back at the target and start closing in again, I quickly find that tiny discrepancies in my adjustments are putting me off on the wrong trajectory again. Without having a full six degrees of freedom, which would allow me to more quickly correct for these errors, I'm having a hard time seeing how orbital rendezvous is possible.

But how does this work if gems are being spend on the \"freemium\" items? Are more gems introduced into the economy to compensate for the gems that was just spent? Or does it have a law sort of like the conservation of energy which means no gem is destroyed. There is a set amount of total gems and as it is used, it gets queued to be sold again by the anet on the trading post.

I can't seem to figure out how accuracy statistics are affected by accurate suppressive fire. I've struggled to find a definitive answer to this, and my (admittedly weak) math skills and memory problems have led to nothing but frustration in my attempts at in-game experimentation. I know that the contributing factors behind many BF3 statistics are still somewhat unclear, but this one seems like maybe it would be something that Support-focused players might be able to answer, just due to laying down so many LMG rounds. It also struck me as something that the devs might have taken into consideration, especially since the Support kit has suppressive fire listed as one of its primary responsibilities, if I remember correctly. Related questions that have been answered here as well as forum discussions (both those relating to suppressive fire itself, and those relating to the accuracy stat), while quite helpful in determining how suppression works in- game, don't seem to shed any light on how the former actually affects the latter. Related Q & As: How is accuracy calculated? Who and what can lay down suppressive fire? So, to be clear, when firing rounds of suppressive fire, do shots that properly inflict the motion blur effect on enemy targets still count against your accuracy percentage the same as missed shots?"} {"_id": "48083", "title": "How would map DLCs affect me joining a game?", "text": "In the Assassin's Creed multiplayer series, how would map DLCs affect my joining an online game?

A while back I noticed that my maximum health was 119 points higher than it should have been. After removing all armor, blessings, and guardian stones, my health was still 119 points higher than normal. After some research I found that this was a glitch. Apparently, if you use potions that increase your maximum HP by x amount for y seconds, your health will be permanently increased if you take enough damage such that your health is critically low at the instant that the buff wears off. I remembered fighting a bunch of mages a while back, running out of regular potions, and popping a Sleeping Tree Sap, while the mages continued to obliterate me. When the sap wore off, my health was critical, and my health glitched. I was able to reproduce this in a controlled environment. All you need are some of those potions and a way to drain your health (I like to use the Alteration school spell Equilibrium). I can drink one of those fortify health potions, then drain my health until I am in critical condition, then keep it critical; when the potion wears off, my health is permanently increased. I figured this information may be helpful to people who wanted to increase health without wasting a level-up on it. I've tried this with Magicka and Stamina but it didn't work. Problem is, I really want to figure out how to reverse it. Ever since my health was artificially increased by 100 points, the game is way too easy, even on Master difficulty. After researching online, the only solutions I've found was to use console commands but, again, I'm playing on Xbox 360 so I can't manually just go in and reset my health and I thought repeating the glitch might reverse it but it didn't. Is there any way I can get my health to revert back to normal? I really don't want to start a new character as I have 120 hours invested in this save file. I didn't notice that my game glitched until hours after it happened so I can't go back to a previous save file.

For instance, I found this thread on the Civilization fanatics forum that details how the \"warmonger\" part of diplomacy is factored. It says that the warmonger score with another civilization is caluclated by: (other civilization's warmonger hate factor) * (5 * (declarations of war against major civilizations) + 10 * (major civilizations conquered) + 5 * (declarations of war against minor civilizations) + 10 * (minor civilizations conquered)) This score then corresponds to several levels, 200 + is critical, 150-200 is severe, 100-150 is major, 50-100 is minor, and less than 50 is none. Critical then corresponds to -100 diplo points with that civilization, severe is -70, major is -40, and minor is -15. To put that in comparison a declaration of friendship gives +35 diplo points.

I believe it's inefficient both space and redstone use wise - and the bend where the last dropper of the horizontal line feeds the items up, is a total mess (I didn't even include it here) - I didn't even include it here but I think it involves at least 5 pieces of redstone circling way away from the rest to avoid short-circuits and feedback from the first torch in the tower conducting power up. ![conveyor](http://i.stack.imgur.com/RnQSi.jpg) I realize probably running the line of redstone through the top side of the droppers would be most efficient, but that's not viable in my case because there's a bunch of infrastructure over the surface of the droppers - a hopper feeding the first of them, rocks surrounding the grinder, another dropper where the line turns upwards, and so on. The signal must be pulsed - just providing continuous signal freezes the transport. So how can I replace this design with something more efficient in terms of material and space usage? How do I make a bend to supply the vertical line? EDIT: Per request - a rough schematics - vertical bisection (a screenshot wouldn't help, it's really a mess with multi-layer schematics in a sky mob spawner) `V` - hopper `D` - dropper (always aimed at the next neighbor. `#` - block `[]` - chest (double) `~` - water `H` - ladder I skip all the redstone. The 'home' room is located at optimal distance from the spawner to keep monsters outside no-spawn sphere around the player, but within 'monster can move' sphere. The facility can be easily converted between the monsters dying at the bottom of the pit by themselves for item farm or surviving the fall with half a heart of health for XP grinding. ############ # 'home' # ############### #[ ] # <- to spawner # ##D#H####### ~~~~~ # D#H #####~~~~~~~~ # D#H ######## # D#H # # D#H # # D#H /* total 22 blocks drop */ ... # # D#H # # D#H # # D#H # <-kill zone D#H #V# D#H DDDDDDDDDDDDDD###"} {"_id": "64924", "title": "Are PS1 games compatible on the latest version of PS3 - as of May 2012?", "text": "> **Possible Duplicate:** > Can you play PlayStation 1 games on the PlayStation 3?

I can run Witcher 2 at maximum settings with no worries or hiccups and haven't had any problems with other games or applications. I am running Windows 7 32-bit. Recently, I went back to Flight Simulator X after a hiatus and the QualityWings 757. The only other 'active' add-on I sometimes run with QW757 is REX (Real Environment eXtreme). I have been getting crashes to desktop usually within the first 30-40 minutes of flight with the event viewer throwing the error: > The program fsx.exe version 10.0.61472.0 stopped interacting with Windows > and was closed.

Uninstalled REX. No dice. 2. Lowered all the settings (scenery, visuals etc.) to the lowest they'll go, no dice. 3. Run CPUID to watch temps; all fine - the CPU utilization never goes above 60% anyway. 4. Applied a `bcdedit IncreaseUserVa 3078` switch (the 3078 might be incorrect, I'm going from memory here!). I have since reset this back to 2048 because it was causing problems elsewhere. 5. Updated drivers and the usual rubbish. No dice. Then I tried flying just FSX planes. No problems or crashes. I tried other add-ons, PMDG, CLS etc. No problems here either. SO I'm fairly sure it's just the QW757 and I think it has something to-do with OOM. I was a few weeks back getting `Flight Simulator has run out of memory and has to close.` messages, but they have since disappeared and been replaced with these random freezes and apphangs. I have 4gb of RAM and I'm well aware of the limitations of 32-bit applications (hence the `bcdedit` switch).

Whenever I buy a program from a vendor, it gets added to my character's stash (viewable in the stash when talking to a decking vendor for example) and I can't upgrade the \"hired\" (not really) decker's programs. Is there any way to transfer programs between characters or to upgrade a secondary character's programs? I figure I'll be able to beat the game without this upgrade, but this feels broken. I don't recall if the original RPG book allowed such transfers, but I wouldn't buy it that SR's Deckers have unbreakable DRM on their programs bought from vendors ;-)."} {"_id": "101476", "title": "The Old Republic Galactic Trade Network successful sell with no credit?", "text": "Recently I have put several items onto the Galactic Trade Network (GTN) for selling.

Slimes would spawn in midair above, fall, drown, and the hoppers would then collect the slime balls. With vertical walls and all side corridors (and surface) well lit, no other mobs should spawn.

While, this other Steam Workshop map's description states that it includes a \"unique NAV file\". In the latter map, I checked if there's a .NAV file included with the map in its folder in `\\csgo\\maps\\workshop\\`, but there isn't any. However, when I first played that map, the game didn't auto-compute and generate a .NAV bot navigation file before allowing playing with bots, but the bots seem to navigate the map just fine. There still isn't a .NAV file in there after I've played the map. It is possible that this map has included custom-made bot navigation info somewhere. When I copied the latter map (its folder in `\\csgo\\maps\\workshop\\`), to share it with another person who also has CS:GO (but did not download the same map from the Steam Workshop), the game auto-generates a .NAV file when hosting a listen server of that map. This leads me to believe that the custom-made .NAV files of maps downloaded from the Steam Workshop are possibly stored in a location other than `\\maps\\workshop\\`. **Does the Steam Workshop allow downloading of custom-made bot navigation files (.NAV) along with the map itself?

In a desperate attempt to get some food in me, I mashed the e button and hit a random key. Unfortunately, I downed a rotten newt corpse, became poisoned, and as a result, died from said food poisoning. I decided to read over my attributes when I noticed I had Poison Resistance. Yet, here I was, dead from food *poison*ing. I asked about this in the Nethack IRC chat room. They stated that food poisoning wasn't the poison I thought it was, which would be a substance on a weapon or a trap. I brought it up with my friend, who reiterated the above points, even saying that poison would be something like eating even a fresh Water Moccasin corpse. I understand that, within the context of Nethack, the developers may consider these two different methods of poison, and that poison resistance only works against one method over the other. However, being someone interested in Biology, I am intuitively using the real-world definition of poison in my approach to the game. A poison is a substance that becomes harmful when ingested or inhaled or absorbed. Venom is a substance that becomes harmful when injected directly into the skin. People use these words interchangeably in an informal context. You might hear someone say \"Don't get close that to that snake! It's poisonous.\" but the correct biological definition is that it's venomous. The same goes for incorrect usages of the words venom and venomous. I accept that food poisoning is a different kind of poisoning in Nethack, of which is not insured against by my poison resistance. But, to someone who approaches this game understanding the difference, this could be confusing, as the terms _are used incorrectly_ to the real-world definitions. So, my question here is, do you guys agree that Nethack uses these terms incorrectly _to the real-world definitions_ , and that they have their own redefinition of the terms to exclude food poisoning from being combated by poison resistance? That's all I need to prove my case, that the definitions in Nethack are not the same as they are in real-life, and that I am not necessarily in the wrong for intuitively assuming food poisoning would be resisted. As a suggestion, I think Nethack would benefit from renaming Food Poisoning to Food Sickness or the general words \"Sickness\" or \"Illness\"."} {"_id": "61879", "title": "Get enemy attention in Skyrim", "text": "Sometimes enemies are at the \"wrong position\" for a perfect back-stab assassination.

But first I would need some clarification on what happens if two ingredients share more than two effects, or if they have both a positive and a negative effect. For example, both `Dwarven Oil` and `Taproot` have the exact same effects: Weakness to Magic, Fortify Illusion, Regenerate Magic, and Restore Magicka. When they are combined with Alchemy, does the resulting potion have all four properties (even though one is negative and the rest are positive) and if not what does this result in?"} {"_id": "36903", "title": "How do I set hotkeys for my favorites?", "text": "I can't seem to set my hotkeys on the PS3.

It circles overhead through wind and storm, Though I'm ready with my bow, and fireball warm. When I notice, with start, a second red dot, and out leaps, a little fart. I run into the trees with a worried waddle, I look up to find it must have been twaddle. No sign of enemy or second Dragon, nought but my horse and burnt old wagon. I shrug and turn to face the beast, tracking with my bow, he hath not ceased. As he dives overhead breathing fire and dread. A clap of thunder and all 'a sudden he's dead. So WTF? * * * In case my excellent poetry was too advanced for you, here's what happened. I encountered a dragon, thought I saw a second, distant (faded) red dot on the compass, It moved quickly so I thought two dragons. I couldn't see it in the sky so I then assumed it was a wolf or something. I focused back on the dragon and as it swooped over it came close to the trees, I was under the trees so i couldn't get a good look, but there was some thunder, and it just dropped dead in front of me. What happened? There was no one else around, maybe a farmer in the house I passed not too long back, but certainly nobody of that kind of power. The dragon definitely had full health too as I got a look when it first came by. Could it have been lightning? Can that even happen? Could the second faint dot I saw have been a second dragon that killed it? Do they fight at all? I don't think it was a dead dragon glitch as I consumed the soul. For the record, my epic bow skills couldn't land either of the shots I got off, so it certainly wasn't me. **Update** > Did you ever see it's health go down or did it just fall over dead. And > where on the map are you? I've seen dragons fly by high level undead areas > before and get themselves killed. Nope, full health, then lost sight for about 10 seconds through the trees, then dead. There was a full screaming death throes animation, fall over and soul consuming. This was not far from the back of Fort Amol, as that's where I was headed for a quest. I didn't see anything else while I was there, in terms of high level creatures, and it was dead directly in front of me so they must have been fairly close. **Update 2** OK after a short play tonight I've figured that the distant, faint red dot must have been story specific > Alduin As I've just seen it on the compass again but could confirm by sight this time too. So that's that one solved. But do they fight at all? Could he be the one that killed the original dragon?

You start off with your ship on your planet, which was indicated by a square in the center of the planet with the same colour as your ship. The planet was surrounded by one or two Defense Towers, which also had the same colour as your ship somewhere on it. The objective of the game was to conquer surrounding unmarked planets (without a coloured square of anykind) by landing on them for a short period of time, then your colour of square would appear in the center of the planet, which then would cause a Defense Tower to leave your home planet and travel to the new planet for protection against others who could try to conquer it. You could, however, destroy and conquer other already \"conquered\" planets by destroying all the Defense Towers and landing on said planet, causing the square in the center to change to a new colour, corresponding to the new spaceship that landed on it. Same thing goes for wandering Defense Towers, if you aimed right at the tip, I believe, you could conquer said Tower...or blow it up completely. To win the game you had to destroy all other players, which meant for you to destroy all planets and Defense Towers of that colour so there would be no chance for them to re-spawn. I believe there could be about 4 players in total, possibly manual or computer operated. it was a top down line asteroids type with newtonian physics, simple colored line graphics. It had multiplayer but I never got a chance to try it, just played with the computers. You play the game by flying around and landing on planets (which requires approaching, slowing down, turning around, and pulsing your thrusters) to plant your color flag. Once planted any transport ships you have built will leave for it and automatically start building your base. To conquer a planet you had to destroy all the buildings on it, a bitch while not getting hit yourself. From time to time a research center on one of your planets would make a noise and start flashing, if you landed on that planet (or the orbiting docking station) you would get an upgrade like a shield, missiles, etc."} {"_id": "89633", "title": "Why does my friend show up as \"in the Borderlands\" while he's ingame?", "text": "A friend of mine asked for some help in Borderlands today and I waited for him to start his game, since he showed up as \"In the Borderlands\".

Earlier, I had thought that my main focus would be on Sneak, One-Handed, Alteration and Illusion. However, when I actually saw the perks and spells I'd use, I saw some redundancy in them. For example, do I really need to get Shadow Warrior and Silence when I'm already using Invisibility and Muffle? Similarly, considering that I play mainly with Daggers and Swords, how far do I need to go in One-Handed? I read somewhere (maybe on TES wiki) that One- Handed perks don't affect daggers, so I might just get Assassin's Blade and then forget about it. Also, do I need the perks in Light Armor (except maybe Wind Walker)? Because I'll be using Stoneflesh/Ebonyflesh/Dragonhide anyways. And even that is questionable -- the only situation where I think I'd use them is if I get detected by a group of enemies or against dragons. Otherwise, if they can't see me, why should I care about my armor rating? So yeah, all in all, I would really appreciate if someone could tell me if I should even use magic at all -- initially, I thought of using magic in a defensive way, to increase my stealthiness with Invisibility and Muffle, and to get some protection in Dragonhide/etc. But all that is highly questionable. I could get the same results by going all the way in Sneak, and, as a bonus, not have to worry about magic and time limits. Alteration is a different story though -- Dragonhide and even Detect Life/Telekinesis are decently useful.

However the developers said that, because of this added effect, the cold damage is reduced, when compared with other elements. But I don't understand what this means. It's either 1) When calculating the actual damage, if the element type is ice than it's reduced (like multiplied by 0.8 for example) OR 2) When you find a weapon/gear piece with ice damage, the effect is lower (for example you could find normally weapons with 3-4 fire damage, but you only find weapons with 1-2 ice damage) I think #1 makes more sense, and it would also work for skills.

Does this do any damage to surrounding units? I had always assumed that it was purely a visual effect. However, an experience today made me wonder about that. A single ethereal was the last remaining enemy on a mission. One of my squad (let's call her A) was immediately adjacent to it and on 1HP. A different squad member (B) fired the shot that killed the ethereal. Messages appeared stating that, * Soldier A had died * Soldier B had killed the ethereal I _think_ the messages were in that order. Then the mission-end screen appeared. On the mission end screen, the number of squad deaths was given as 0/6. However, after returning to base, A was indeed KIA. The contradiction in summary screens is presumably a bug related to a soldier dying as the game is won. But, I do not know what killed her. * She was not the one firing at the ethereal, so it cannot have been reflected damage. * She was not mind controlled. (she was hit earlier in the turn by the ethereal's plain damage attack - but I'm not aware of any lasting effect from that?)

So I guess what I'm asking is, how deep is CityVille? As deep as SC3K? Also, one thing that bothers me about social games is the NEED to either pull out your pocketbook or recruit your friends. I'd rather just play, play, play for hours. How much does CityVille require you to either pay (for \"CityBucks\" or something) or recruit/interact with friends?

I have two left - Extreme Heights - which, as it has unlimited money, should be fine, given the time, and Rainbow Summit. The goal is 2,500 guests in attendance by the end of Year 4. Typically, this would be no issue however the park prevents advertising campaigns (as well as not allowing to build above tree height). I have three high-capacity roller-coasters, one mid-capacity coaster, one large capacity rather plain monorail, and a number of gentle and thrill rides. The park is basically an -E| shape, where the path comes from the entrance, splits, and goes in front of the mountain. The paths then tunnel in through the mountain before meeting at the top in the middle, with a path leading back to the entrance. When I started the scenario, I spend a lot of time demolishing the trams and chairlift and building pathways/toilets/food stalls, etc, and put a few gentle/thrill rides by the entrance to keep people happy. My park (as the pictures will show) is quite spread out, so am I Doing This Wrong and need to cram as many attractions in as possible? The best I have is May, Year 4, with 1,700 guests. I have no idea how to increase attendance (and I have no wish to cheat with something like 7 Cars Per Trainer to spam guests into the park).

This build has proved to be 100% effective against zerg, the only time I usually struggle is against randoms who end up zerg. The build is supposed to look like this... * 10 Supply Depot * 11 Refinery * 13 Barracks * 16 Factory and Orbital Command * 17 refinery * 19 starport followed by fusion core * 26 Battlecruiser * push out as soon as battlecruiser is up w/ hellions, marines, and SCVs. Most gold and lower zerg players dont know how to counter this build even when they scout it. But with the addition of HoTS I noticed my build order is delayed and looks more like... * 10 Supply Depot * 11 Refinery * 13 Barracks * 17 Factory * 18 orbital command * 20 Starport followed by fusion core * 28 battlecruiser My first game with this went smoothly with me noticing the delay and just thought my macro was bad (because it was). Second game the zerg player countered either by accident or actually knew what to do, but after countering didnt keep pushing and I won (which is why I think he was just lucky). Now I noticed that my build is going to be easily countered once I get back to the leagues I used to play in since this build has slowed down (or maybe my macro is just still bad). Well anyways I switched up the build a tad to incorporate a single drop to stop the zerg player from expanding easily. Well it still worked cuz I effectively wrecked both expansions and stopped him from expanding from then on as well. But what I didn't like was that it was a very messy win. Here are the details of the battle... I used the same build besides the starport and fusion core being a few supply delayed because I built Widow Mines, and a medivac as soon as the starport finished. So my battlecruiser was delayed significantly, but I took advantage of this and expanded right as I started my battlecruiser (once I had all the Vespene I needed for the first Battlecruiser I swapped 3 scvs back to crystal). At this point I have a medivac 3 Widow mines a small force of hellions and marines (nothing a decent zerg player cant handle with a group of roaches). This zerg player did a good job of stopping my expand but I held him from my main with widow mines a bunker and effective use of my hellions. After fending off his first push I rushed my medivac with 1 widow mine and marines to his expands. I made him cancel his third and I dropped the widow mine behind his second and killed all his workers (it took him a long time to take out the widow mine and I even was able to kill a queen with it, so I dont think he noticed till the queen died from it, mostly cuz I used a banshee to kite his queen to it.). Although I did make the mistake of losing my medivac and marines to his static defenses in his main, I had stopped his economy easily. At this point I have a very sizeable force of hellions and marines and a battlecruiser which I push out with, wrecking his small force of roaches and what was left of his natural expansion. He was able to kill my hellions and marines easily but with my macro going, group after group of hellions and marines kept him on his toes untill he pulled out a bunch of mutalisks. Now I had 3 battlecruiser in the battle at this point so he didnt take the head on, he just focused on my bases which I didnt really need anymore since he couldnt win at this point. Lucklily with proper placement of about 4 widow mines and some baiting with a single battlecruiser I wiped out his force of mutalisks and he GGd. Yah sure I won, but a more skilled zerg player with better macro and scouting could've stopped this easily. I would love some tips or advice on how to improve my build so i'm not just trying to throw random things at a player and hoping it works.

If an adjacent card owned by the other player has a lower score on the touching edge, you gain control of the card. 6. Player with control of the most cards once all cells are filled wins.

The damage I take is fairly significant, but my life never hits 0. I don't die. * Unable to move. This is like the previous de-sync issue, where you'd rubberband once you got a certain distance away from the de-sync point, and then you'd be fine. But now, the distance is point blank, and moving away doesn't resolve the issue. So it looks like massive stutter when I move. * Can't be seen. I'm entirely invisible. Anything that effects me shows the various effects where I'm supposed to be, but I can't see myself at all. I still take damage normally, though. * Can't attack. Shift-clicking does nothing, attacking anything that's close enough to hit does no damage. * Can't use special abilities. It's like it doesn't register that I'm using special abilities. * Can't use Town Portal. Same as special abilities; it's like it doesn't register at all. * Buffs continue to countdown. I can't refresh them (see special abilities above), but they continue to count down as usual. My usual fix for desyncing is to move far enough away from the point to allow the server to resync me.

However, it doesn't grant that the caravan will actually bring those items, and if it brings, their prices will be inflated by demand and by quality. So, I ask the following (related) questions: 1. Does an increase in demand translate (linearly) to an increase in the dwarven caravan's offer? 2. Does the same increase affect the quality of items offered? If an increase in demand **doesn't** translate directly to an increase in offer, and instead translated to an increase of the current offer of higher- quality items, it would be _economically saner_ to not increase demand."} {"_id": "103509", "title": "What Valve games are playable on Linux?", "text": "Valve has recently started porting some of their games on Steam to the Linux OS due to their owner's stated distaste for Windows 8 and the company's desire to build their own open console, termed the 'Steam Box'.

Things we have tried: * Double jungle - Solo lanes * Solo top - Solo bot - Triple mid * Solo top - Solo bot - Dual mid - Jungle * Standard formation, all hard lane pushes with teleport and fortify Now we have had some VERY interesting results. The last on the list seems amazingly effective. Take a Sivir, TF, WW, Panth, Nocturne ~ anyone that pushes FAST and has good mobility. One player would backdoor, put down a ward, all teleport and boom, tower gone. In fact this tactic is incredibly hard to counter. The 'Solo top - Solo bot - Dual mid - Jungle' idea is our next venture. It involves all three solo players using EXP quints, masteries and a Zilean on the team. Basically, trying to outlevel the enemy and end games fast by putting hard pressure on mid, with the solo lanes still having jungle support.

You have no control of these units. They will automatically advance towards the opponent's base, attacking any of the opponent's units on the way. * If a unit reaches the enemy's base, it starts attacking it. * The game may include other aspects like resource management (units cost resources that you get somewhere), special abilities (e.g. spells on a timer) or other special mechanics, but the core of the gameplay is choosing the correct unit composition and timing and letting those units do the work for you. ### Example Games * Age of War * Swords and Soldiers * Cartoon Wars"} {"_id": "23542", "title": "Can you not spend any talent points in hard mode?", "text": "My brother and I recently beat our copies of The Witcher 2, and, being the masochists we are, both decided to up the difficulty and play the other story branch.

The tunnel, in cross-section, looks like this: NN N = Glass N N X = Cobblestone N_iN i = Torch (alternating Redstone and regular torches, spaced out a bit) NXXN _ = Minecart track (alternating powered/unpowered) I have read this question and the prevailing answer there basically says not to mind the Zombie Pigmen. For me, that isn't an option because Pigmen can be a bit of a showstopper to minecarts in my tunnel. ![pigmen party screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cjsr6.png) They spawn in the tunnel, as opposed to walking into it (this seems to be consistent with the Wiki article on Zombie Pigmen, which merely says they can spawn at \"any light level\". They're a problem because they appear in groups of 2-3 and prevent minecarts from moving along the track. I have thought of a few possible ways to deal with this: * Get off, pick up the minecart and walk around them, then put the cart back down and resume traveling. This is not ideal because I like to go AFK while on minecart tracks, and coming back to find I only traveled 50 meters before hitting a Pigman is frustrating. * Punch a hole in the glass and shove them out into the lava. Again, this involves getting off the cart, and punching a hole in the glass makes the tunnel temporarily vulnerable to Ghast fireballs (thereby defeating the purpose of fully enclosing the tunnel in the first place). * Attack them and move on. Not ideal because there is a good chance I will run into another gang of Pigmen further down the tunnel that will stop my cart and kill me while I'm AFK. * Make the tunnel slightly taller, and make a trench on one side (or possibly both) into which the Pigmen can fall but from which they can't jump back up onto the minecart track. I'm not sure how effective this would be, as I'm not sure they would voluntarily wander into the trench. There's also this design, found in a Minecraft Forums thread: N N = Glass _ _ = Track X X = Cobblestone > Nobody can spawn (or walk) on your track, and the glass also keeps you from > attracting ghasts. It's very relaxing riding across the netherscape in the > apparent open, watching ghasts fly about overhead unaware of your presence. I haven't yet tested it, but I would hesitate to embrace this design, as it seems like it's an exploit that is liable to be \"fixed\" in any given future update.

A gate camp is where one or more pirates wait around a stargate trying to catch pilots as they warp away (and also incoming auto-pilots). Often times they use warp-scramblers and quick targeting systems to try to snare passing pilots, though sometimes they just start firing off fof missiles without bothering to target. Of course, stealth helps one avoid these problems, but cloaking systems are both expensive and require extensive training, which I'm a little short on at the moment. A big factor in their ability to catch someone is how quickly it takes a ship to go to warp, but sometimes they are able to catch even fast ships.

So my plan of bringing my level 1 newbies onto the map while my level 5s ran around and killed everything ended up not working, as none of the newbies leveled. I had the level 1 healer following them around and healing, but the act of healing also doesn't seem to grant experience (or if it does, very little, as she's still level 1 too after burning off all her spell points on heals). So I tried the map again, this time attempting to get the newbies into the fight, but just like in the Hall of Caresses, they keep getting one-shotted and die. This seems like a problem that's only going to get worse as I get further into the game. I'm hoping I have more options than just sticking them on the easiest map possible and building my way up from there. That seems like it will drive me nuts if I keep having to play the tutorial maps whenever I create a new character, and I'm hoping there are better options. What exactly governs when characters earn experience points, and what's a good strategy for leveling up new characters?"} {"_id": "39411", "title": "How can I get my wife to stop nagging about a few murders?", "text": "I killed a few people in a town.. then I decided to try to make amends.

As such, I would be lead to believe that the hit and dodge chances are not included in the precombat screen. However, I was recently playing under this assumption and attacked an enemy with an 88% chance of hit, with no support ranks between me and my paired partner. To my surprise, I missed. If the hit bonus is not already included, then I should have a 98% hit chance. In another battle, under the same assumption, I allowed an enemy to attack me with a 20% chance to hit outside of forest. I first moved into a forest (+10 avoid?), and with Rank A support (hit+10, avo+10, crit+10, dodge+10), was still hit. If, as in my assumption, the avoid chance is not already included, then this enemy should have had a 0% hit chance on me when standing in forest.

This is naturally quite confusing. Is there any way to have the game show me a PS3 controller's button names and visuals? I wouldn't even know if those visuals are buried somewhere inside the PC version or not."} {"_id": "7475", "title": "What is the point of money, fans and equipment/clothing in World Tour in Rock Band 2?", "text": "I was wondering what the significance of money and fans and all the different things money can buy such as clothing/instruments/tattoos/etc. is?

After much debate, I finally decided to exchange my old 3DS with the 3DS XL and in my excitement, I didn't actually read up on the fact that if you want to keep your old games from console to console, you need to do a system transfer. To be fair, the store I traded my game in didn't mention this, but I'll try not to place the blame on anyone but myself. Not only have I lost my old games and save, but my account activity with all my ambassador program stuff as well as any eShop games. I'm not asking if there's a way to do it with my old console or a SD card but if there's a way to link to my old account, some settings option I'm not noticing or if I've truly messed up here, I may not have been terribly clear here so I'm more than willing to clarify any point. I've contacted Nintendo support but no response yet. UPDATE #1: Just contacted Nintendo via telephone and they said there is NO way to do it other than system transfer, so rush to the store it is, not holding much hope though. I even mentioned the rumoured Club Nintnedo way of getting it back but they seemed bemused by the idea and said it's more of a rewards scheme or something along those lines than an actual record of games owned. UPDATE #2: Just went to the store and they said they wiped it, by the sounds of things, pretty much as soon as they got it. _Sigh._ Think I'll let off some steam by writing a very disappointed email to Nintendo about it. How British of me. Either way, hopefully this has enlightened people at least to make sure they do the system transfer before trading in. UPDATE #3: Sorry to drag this out even more, but it looks as though my response to my email to Nintendo support actually had a very interesting paragraph: > Please note that formatting the console does not delete your eShop account > and download content unless you have created a NNID, providing the retailer > has not manually deleted the eShop account your purchases may still be on > the console. So even though the games themselves are gone, the games are still registered to the console in the same vein as Steam. After reading this I headed to the store, asked if I could see my console's eShop Account Activity and (after a 10 minute system update) my past purchases were all there (including my credit card information which is just a _bit_ frightening) so I tried performing a system transfer old for my 3DS XL to rebuff me saying my battery was too low. **Seriously.** I'm heading there first thing tomorrow and I'll let you all know if this really does resolve everything. UPDATE #4: Went back in the store today after waiting ~20 minutes for the system transfer, all my previous account activity is now on my new 3DS, happy days! So I guess as long as the store has your old console in, you can prove you traded it in (should the store need to prove it anyways) and they haven't gone as far as to manually delete eShop contents, you can still recover your downloadable games."} {"_id": "154889", "title": "How do I pick stuff up after I put it down?", "text": "I don't know how to pick stuff up after I put it down ( _e.g._ chests, lanterns, etc.) Also, how do I get to the lower levels of the mine?

My issue lies with the latter part since I'm having a lot of trouble reassembling items with physical damage affixes. Here's data for a problematic item: http://us.battle.net/api/d3/data/item/skorn The goal I've set is to recalculate the maximum possible damage value using the attributes. The value we want to see is 1762.5 as it is given in the API, and I've verified through looking in-game that items can roll a damage value that high (see: http://i.imgur.com/WQ9k9.jpg). **What I know:** The damage range is only affected by these attribute types: * Damage_Weapon_Bonus_Delta#Element * Damage_Weapon_Delta#Physical * Damage_Weapon_Bonus_Min#Element * Damage_Weapon_Min#Physical * Damage_Weapon_Percent_Bonus#Physical Where #Element is the type of bonus damage (Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, Arcane, Holy) **The Formula:** My calculations work perfectly if the bonus damage type is anything other than physical. The 2 types (physical and elemental) also display differently like so: +200-450 Fire Damage and +200 Minimum Damage +250 Maximum Damage If we were to calculate the Skorn example as elemental, we'd do it like so: ((507 + 106) * 1.5) + 381 + 286 = 1586.5 Which looks like this with attributes instead: `((Damage_Weapon_Min#Physical + Damage_Weapon_Delta#Physical) * (1 + Damage_Weapon_Percent_Bonus#Physical) + Damage_Weapon_Bonus_Delta#Physical + Damage_Weapon_Bonus_Min#Physical` **The Problem:** Unfortunately, this just doesn't work since it's way off of what the actual maximum value should be.

I've noticed that the combo difficulty increases exponentially the higher their \"heart frequency\" is. Even with massive abuse of save states and a 5\u00d7 emulator slowdown, I can't manage to combo (say) a Clayman more than twice, and even that second combo is more of an accident than something I can rely upon in normal gameplay. I guess this means that I must be doing something inherently wrong. Now, yes, the first few beats are harder than the following ones; when you do have a few notes on screen, their visual movement also help you keep the combo going. However, this seems _really_ hard. I must be doing something consistently wrong, or maybe you're just not meant to 16-combo all enemies, even if you're willing to save and restore state as many times as needed. I don't know, but I figure that it should be easier to get a 2-combo properly than through a turbo controller.

So now I'm at an impasse here with the protoss deathball. I just can't beat it. I think my scouting may be an issue here - I sometimes overreact or underreact. ## Replay 1: click here I sent a 10 drone scout, which saw a gateway expand, so I went 3 hatch before pool, with a 5:40 roach warren to defend timings. When I saw multiple gateways in my opponents wall, I produced roach/ling to defend, but I think I overproduced and came out behind. **How do I know how much defense is necessary to defend early-midgame gateway pressure?** And if they don't attack, and just sit with there units, how do I know when I can start droning again? Or maybe in this scenario I should just keep producing units and trickle in the drones instead. Anyways, I ended up defending my opponents gateway aggression with too many units left over, which soon became useless. I droned up my third once I dealt with the zealots. Since I saw robo units when I counterattacked, I went for an infestation pit and produced mass static defense for a transition to swarm hosts. I've seen Catz defuse the deathball this way on his stream using swarmhost/spine/spore/viper/infestor/hydra, so I tried it too. I felt my lack of APM was a large factor in my loss. If I played faster I could have a lot more static defense ready, dealt with their harass and micro'd better against feedbacks, but this is platinum and nobody knows what they're doing. I'm sure my opponent made a lot of strategic errors that I could have exploited, but I don't know where they are. APM will be developed the more I play, nothing I can do about that. **In lieu of more APM, what strategic errors did my opponent make, and how do I recognize and exploit them?** ## Replay 2: click here This game was against the same player, who went for the same opening again. Gateway expand -> zealot pressure -> phoenix -> Robo deathball. Here I tried roach/hydra into vipers, which failed miserably. Colossus just melted everything. What could I have done better?

Let's take a look at the map from top-bottom: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/x3NoM.png) Please forgive my greek. You can: 1. Approach from point **B** , going straight **down the stairs.** This path sucks because: * Point **\u03b1** is a great spy area to shut down your big pushes * Sentries built on point **\u03b2** , as well as enemies covering that corner, have the height advantage on you as you approach the point and the railings become an effective shield from most explosives. * Point **\u03b3** is a very popular and hidden spot for dispensers and, if neglected (a successful uber would probably push straight for **C**!) allows the red engineers to quickly redeploy **\u03b2**. * Red can effectively push through these stairs en-masse and shut down everything an engineer can build in the room **\u03b7**. Should they succeed, Red can pour all the way down to the Blu spawn; yes, this does open a small window of opportunity for overextension, but back-capping point **C** (12 seconds at \u00d71, 8 at \u00d72) is quite the feat. 2. Approach from point **B** , but **through the window** (\"B/C flank\") facing straight from the point. This is an effective solution to snipe sentries built on point **\u03b4** , but it still sucks because: * It is very easy for pyros to detonator-jump on point **\u03b5** and negate ubers. * Corridor **\u03b6** is very very easy to spam. * While you are on level with point **\u03b2** , the railing is still in the way. 3. From point **A** , go all the way down the corridor to **C** to **the farthest door**. This approach sucks for all the reasons approach #1 sucks, but even more as the stairs to **C** are upwards making it even harder to attack sentries in point **\u03b8** (the mirror position of **\u03b2** ), as well as making it super easy to rain spam down the corridor. 4. From point **A** go straight to **C** through the **nearest door**. This sucks like #3 except without the stairs and without obvious ways for engineers to support their team on the way through. I've tried building on **A** , but this requires teammates to either crouch jump over point the point's railings or walk all the way around it. Neither works well. 5. This is a little bit obscure: set up shop on the corridor between **B** and **A** (\" **A/C flank** \") and attack from there. It's got an obvious place for a teleporter and a dispenser (what about the sentry though?) and the angled approach can make edging sentries on **\u03b8** slightly more easier, but also opens up from pyro flanks. Additionally a spy can easily use path 4 backwards to sap all your stuff, a process that's harder for a nest on path 1. So, all the options for Blu suck and as a result all games seem to end on a score of 2-2. Or is it just the server I frequent?

(Ideally no more risk than one might normally incur by simply traveling across the countryside.) * Be cross-platform. (Your console commands are no good here.)

I'll try and keep the question as brief as possible, but I'm looking for working so I can plan my characters as best as possible. For my current character I'm trying to run the game using only a set of steel armour that I'll improve over time. At the moment the armour value without the shield is 135. The shield has an armour value of 30, giving a normal total of 165. So, if I take a hit, it's obvious that without the shield I apply the armour value of 135. If I equip the shield and take a hit (without blocking) do I take that at 135 or 165? If I block the hit is there a separate modifier for the block skill, or is it now that the 165 occurs? (Block is 28 with 1st Shield Wall perk). In the future I'll (hopefully) get to a point where I reach the armour cap. As I occasionally use a bow I'll try and make the normal four pieces hit the max (567) so I still get the full 80% reduction. If I take a hit now with or without the shield I've reached the limit of the damage reduction, but does blocking now give an extra reduction? With regards to weapons, as there is no limit I'll eventually end up with a dragonbone sword or similar. Is the damage reduced by blocking dependent on the armour value of the shield? Is this capped? I know this seems like a lot of questions, but ultimately it leads me to ask, whilst I think I can max out the steel armour without a shield, will I want to create a shield of a different type (daedric?) to max out my protection, or else will the steel shield (legendary obviously) provide this?"} {"_id": "126224", "title": "How does Technology Spread work?", "text": "Most of the time I have my Marshal train troops, my Steward collect taxes, and my Court Chaplin research Cultural Technology.

In this replay I had around 35-40 harvesters on main+natural and income around 900-1000 minerals (per minute?) When I detected lack of harvesters I called 4 (or 5) MULEs. After that (if we believe to replay statistic) my income was JUMPED TILL 1800-1900 per minutes. It was kept on this level for 1.5 minutes... It's obvious but it's so huge deal. That means that in 1.5 minute I get (almost for free) 1k5 minerals (30 marines!!!) Plus add this topic StarCraft2: MULE - can he work on one mineral patch with another SCV in parallel? Here I can conclude that often when: - you plan to expand but due to some reason can't move your CC to natural; - OR you plan to have 2nd expand but need to clean-up enemy forces from new location; - OR don't plan to expand but temporary have exceed of minerals it could be a good idea to create a new CC on you main build a OC just to call for MULEs. Also, id you DO have expand or 2nd expand... It seems like very useful to build ONE MORE CC+OC just for CALL mules... Usually Terran plays main+natural, and having 4 CC doesn't seem to bad for me. 4 CC means that 1 will be used for scanning and 3 more will be able to provide MULEs for 2 bases... I understand the drawback of such strategy: instead of building production building and army you will increase economy strength and it is necessary to balance... But having enough minerals temporary you could put them in a CC+OC - and will pay for himself very quickly. Am I right? Is there something that I missed here? Edit: Forget to mention - CC is an additional supply, so it's actual cost is not 400, but 290 only!

I've looked all over the internet for a solution, but I've tried everything that was suggested: my firewall is completely turned off, and I have set both inbound and outbound rules for hamachi. Resetting the server doesn't seem to help, nor does restarting my machine. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I've seen a somewhat similar problem raised in this question, but all of its answers either don't work for me, or are not applicable because I'm using Hamachi instead of port forwarding. My firewall settings have not changed since I was previously able to connect--same for my router/modem settings. IPconfig is not applicable because I'm using the IP address given to me by Hamachi, not the IP address of my machine. I didn't specify a port when I was initially able to connect. Additionally, the IP address of the Hamachi network I'm using hasn't changed since I was able to connect. And I can confirm that I do indeed have a working internet connection.

In practice, they whack the chest with their pickaxe until it breaks, and pick up the loot from the kindling. Is there a way to set 'unbreakable' on the Chest so that players canot do this? Alternatively, making broken chests NOT dump their contents would be acceptable. I don't want to install any mods to do this, though changing world settings, or even doing something complex with a command block is acceptable. Possibly when 1.8 goes production it will only allow breaking of unlocked chests or will not dump contents of locked chests; however this is just speculation."} {"_id": "94952", "title": "Relentless Medal and Killstreak Rewards in Black Ops 2", "text": "Is it a bug or am I allowed to use killstreak rewards to get this medal in a match?

In other words, in a small map, a scope dot is a smaller distance than one in a large map even though i am using the same gun. Does the scope scale or is it just my own mind tricking me? EDIT: I wanted to add why I want to know. I relate the player size in scope to distance. So if a player is 1 dot tall, then i put them at 500m as an example. With that, i know i need to aim 1 dot above the player's head to get the head shot. Granted, these are all general numbers, its the basic concept. However, it feels if i try to apply that scale from say metro, to Caspian Border, it isn't the same. It feels that on Caspian, 1 dot is more like 600m instead of the 500m. So then i have to adjust the position of the scope. Again, the numbers aren't accurate to the game but it illustrates my question better (I hope). EDIT 2: Since there is some confusion on my question, I'll try to clarify it some more. With a static weapon setup (i.e. L96 with a 12x scope) Does 1 scope dot = (X)m on all maps or * 1 scope dot = (X)m on Caspian (standard size map) * 1 scope dot = 1/2(X)m on Metro (small map) * 1 scope dot = 2(X)m on Gulf of Oman (large map) etc. EDIT: Made table clearer."} {"_id": "51828", "title": "Where can I find Scholia Arcana in Rathir?", "text": "I know I can buy a backpack from someone in here but I can't actually find it in Rathir.

I've kept the 2x4GB of G.Skill F3-17000CL11-4GBSR RAM from the AM3 in the AM3+ rig. It seems the faster the RAM speed is the more the Skyrim stutter bug occurs. It actually speeds up the game for I would estimate about 50-200 milliseconds so after the stutter stops if you've been running forward in the game you're several feet ahead of where you previously were. This happens about 20-40 times a _minute_. I disabled all the \"Advanced CPU Features\" in my bios and set the RAM to 1333MHz. After narrowing down what features did or did not effect the game play I've determined that the speed of the RAM itself has been causing the problems. The bios RAM speed without XPS (Extreme Memory Profile) only boots up to 1,600MHz. To get to the full 2,133MHz I have to use either XPS profile. However even at 1,600MHz I've noticed the stuttering bug perhaps once every few minutes so I can't say it's explicitly the XPS.

While some characters (such as Ryu) have very precise means of performing special moves, others (such as Guile) require charging directional input in order to pull off a special move. I find that this charge really gives away your intentions (unless you pull off the move during some insane combo. That's not what I'm talking about) and makes it difficult to react with a special move quickly. When I'm playing as Ryu, my opponent has no way of knowing that I'm about to dish out a Hadoken, and if he happens to jump over me, I can counter with a Shoryuken without too much preparation. However, when I'm playing as Guile and I want to pull off a sonic boom, then I either have to start backing away, or crouch back to hold my position, both rather obvious giveaways. Also, there's no quick way to react with a Flash Kick when someone is jumping at you. Again, Guile is just an example, and I have these issues with most charge based moves.

But sometimes I get in a party where someone seems to know how to one-shot them. The things hardly get two steps out of the teleporter and they're toast. I've personally tried the LAARK and the pulse cannon on the beasts, and as far as I can tell, either of these would need at least four shots to take down a full-strength titan. I've seen other people trying to use these weapons, and getting the same effect I do. Whatever is going on, it seems to be someone down in front, close to the titan, that whacks it. I don't think it's combined LAARK shots b/c I can usually see most of the soldier's wraith shields up. Could this be a map glitch? Maybe there's a sweet spot from which you can get a magic shot off?

However, that being said I do like variety so I aim for different victory styles using similar mini-strategies if you will. By far my two favorite are Honor-Aztecs with the +Faith-On-Kill pantheon (tons of stuff on kill :D) and Egypt with the obvious wonder building perks. Strategies like this, where my Civilization's UA/UU syncs amazingly well with other aspects of the game (Social Policies, Wonder Bonuses, Promotions, etc.) make the game a lot of fun for me. **Problem:** I've won (or played until bored) numerous times as my Honor-Aztec strategy with Domination Victory. I was wondering if there was any strategies to allow me to adapt this strategy to get ahead for another victory condition such as Tourism/Culture (BNW) or Diplomatic Victories (Neither of which I've successfully completed before). I'm not looking to keep my strategy 100%; however, there is a reason I use the strategy (i.e. I enjoy it). **Question:** How can I alter my strategy to allow it to work for a Tourism/Culture or Diplomatic Victory (in BNW) such that I still find the game fun (see **Preamble** for constraints)? For example, how can I use my Culture/Faith/Gold gains to get myself closer to a Tourism or Diplomatic Victory?

A Spectre Agent rescuing the galaxy from certain destruction doesn't have time to mess around!!

Ashley on the other hand.... Girl's clever! The writer's somehow tricked me into romancing her, because I genuinely wanted to hear all of her interesting stories about her dad and the poetry and all of that. That, and the only other option is telling her she's boring or to shut up, and that's not polite and compassionate at all.

A sequence of keystrokes becomes second nature _very_ quickly. There's no way a macro could be useful for microing or unit control. I think it could only be useful for macro mechanics, but stuff like building drones doesn't seem worth macro'ing. Queen injections seem impossible to macro because it requires mouse involvement. Maybe something like a macro which does: `CTRL+9`, `1`, `R button click`, `9` Assuming you always hotkey a worker to `1`, then this macro would bring your worker to where your cursor is without losing your current unit selection. Maybe could be a way for terran to bring workers out to repair on the battlefield? But again, this seems kinda ridiculous. So, what macros are genuinely useful?

Even after placing the keg in the designated area, it is soon stolen back by the bandits. We tried several tactics to counter these bandits: 1) Have one player take a keg and run, attracting the attention of the bandits. * Bandits quickly switched targets to players that picked up kegs despite distance 2) Have each player bring a keg to the gate and drop at same time * Bandits either killed a player, or were able to steal a keg before it registered 3) Place a keg in an inaccessible place * Several bandits teleported to pick up the keg, but did not seem to affect the maximum spawns. 4) Designate players as bandit killers and others as keg runners * Any Bandit Archer that was able to take hold of a keg was a keg lost, due to the ridiculous hp of these mobs. What is the most efficient, and least aggravating way, of getting through this gate? Update: Tried this a few more times, and still found it nearly impossible.

From what I can tell, each character has their own individual growth rates for each of their stats. This affects their chances of increasing a certain stat when they level up. For example, Unit X has a 30% growth rate for SPD. This means that whenever Unit X levels up, there's a 30% chance that the SPD stat will increase by 1. Different classes have no effect on the growth rate, so being a Barbarian or Myrmidon doesn't restrict my Avatar's MAG growth rate. Stat caps, on the hand, vary between classes. Promoted classes (Dark Flier, Great Lord, Grandmaster, etc.) tend to have higher stat caps than their respective un-promoted classes. These stat caps describe how high you can go in a specific stat when you are in that specific class. Borrowing from my earlier example, Unit X has a stat cap of 20 for SPD in Class Y. As long as Unit X belongs to Class Y, his/her SPD cannot go above 20, no matter how much he/she levels. _Am I understanding this correctly?_ P.S. What happens if you go from a promoted class to an un-promoted class after hitting the stat cap?

The problem I'm running into is conceiving of an item build which optimizes his damage with 4 items (which drops you as a glass-cannon in mid-game or allows for a couple of defensive items to be picked up as part of your complete build). Obviously, we all (had best) agree that item builds are situational. What I'm looking for is just a base-case situation against, say, some trees or rocks standing around. Forget about the other team's resistances, items, runes, and masteries; just focus on Varus dishing out as much raw damage as possible. We can all adjust when we play. Feel free to use any/all of the following assumptions: * Level 18 * Anything that retains its stacks can be fully stacked, since that's your presumption when you acquire it. Rageblade, for instance, does not retain its stacks, so don't presume it would be stacked in any given engagement * No runes or masteries. Any adjustments from the obvious case of an offensively-specialized set are unlikely to change your item build around. The short version: Which 4 items give Varus the greatest damage output over, say, 5 seconds? Feel free to answer for either including AoE damage or damage to a single target, but I personally think single target ends up being more telling. I've scraped together a couple of references that might be helpful, but weren't exactly sufficient to answer my question: * Varus' page on the League of Legenda Wikia which has his base stats, base scaling, and ability information * GGChronicle's hands-on discussion from PAX which gives some real experiential discussion of Varus"} {"_id": "61909", "title": "How do I catch the fairy in the sealed grounds?", "text": "I can't seem to catch the fairy that floats in the sealed grounds.

I get how I'm supposed to read everything on the screen carefully, especially since the descriptions are really short and seem to be dense with hints. I get how I'm supposed to draw a map while I move around and take notes of items I find and various points of interest. I get how I'm supposed to experiment with the command line and try commands and sentence structures that are not even listed in the manual. This way I managed to map a fairly complicated maze, and also solve a few simple puzzles like descending into a shaft by > tying a rope to the railing and climbing down on it. What beats me is this. I looked up a hint which said, to get past Cyclops, I have to > say the word 'Ulysses' to him, which makes him dash off in fear. I'm familiar with Homer's Odyssey, but this would never have occured to me. Since I couldn't find any hints that pointed to this, and I'm generally making very slow progress if any, and even the whole point of the game has been kind of vague to me just judging by the story, I'm inclined to think It must be full of these kind of puzzles. So, to finally turn my rant into a question (: Do I have the wrong impression of the game? Or are these games just inherently a lot more difficult than graphic adventures of the nineties and I have to be more patient?

Some base assumptions: * Time is a reasonable value. There can be arguments made for maximising burst as well as maximising overall DPS. * Zero movement. I know this isn't realistic, but the model would get way way out of hand if one included movement (and consequentually, ramping up SS). * You are simply autoattacking the boss with a basic attack (no skills, 100% damage modifier)."} {"_id": "133582", "title": "Fixing an old PS3 vs buying a new one", "text": "It seems my old PS3 fat GPU is dying.

Here is my original post where I asked about the problem before: (you don't necessarily need to read it) GTA V graphics bugs on PS3 I'm pretty convinced now that the problem indeed occurs because of my GPU is overheating. I tried putting my PS3 into the fridge for 30 mins and after trying it it worked no problem until it heated again. From sony techical support they said that fixing it would cost me around $175, but buying a new slim or super slim will cost me around $250. Now I've considered three different options so far: 1. Fixing the old PS3 by changing the thermal paste for the GPU and doing a thorough clean up for the device and perhaps buying an external cooling unit for the PS3. Cost around $15-30 2. Buying a new PS3 slim or Super slim. Cost around $250 3. Waiting for the PS4 to come out and then buy it and use it for PS3 games. Cost around $600. (According to this link it's possible: http://kotaku.com/how-to-upgrade-ps3-games-to-ps4-games-1355938247 but not sure :P) Now considering the options. Which one of the options would you pick? I'm not too short on money, so I don't have to work with minimal budget. Fixing the machine would be the cheapest, but of course there is the time I would have to use disassembling it + it wouldn't be 100 % sure it would even work + how long would it last? The third option would also be nice, but I don't want to wait that long and I think I won't buy PS4 as soon as it is released, because of the high price. Maybe the 2nd option is the best?

To give a concrete example, the other day I was laning against Zilean as Orianna. Any time I was anywhere near him (be it to last hit minions or whatever), Zilean would place his time bomb on me, which after a couple of seconds explodes for major damage. While Orianna has a shield, it's not enough to block the damage from the time bomb, and to add insult to injury, Zilean can hit me with another time bomb while the shield is still on cooldown. Orianna simply doesn't do enough early game damage to out-trade the time bomb, and even trying to do so would result in severe mana issues (considering I'd be using Command: Attack-Dissonance and Protect to reduce my damage, compared to him using one ability.) In short, the only way to avoid the damage is by staying out of range, giving my opponent a large advantage in farming.

All the other towers have specific damage totals for their level 1, 2, and 3 verisons, but Laser towers just have a single number. This made me wonder how Laser towers actually deal their damage.

Recently I've managed to reach level 100 in Smithing skill and created my first light dragon armor. I'm currently wearing Master Robes of Destruction (Magicka regen +150%, Destruction spell use 22% less magicka) and this makes any destruction spell costs **NO** magicka at all (of course plus enchantments on ring, amulet, circlet etc). The problem is I tried to enchant my light dragon armor with `Fortify Health` and also `Fortify Destruction and Magicka Regen` (since I can enchant 2 enchantments in one item) but the result is not as satisfied as I wanted. At the moment the maximum I can get is about **17%** for fortify destr. and only mere **10%** for fortify magicka (with enchantment potion). So I have 2 questions: ~~1.What is the percentage of maximum effect of an enchantment on an armor?~~ This question is not relevant anymore 1. Does magnitude of enchantment differs depending on the item? (i.e. boots, clothes, heavy/light armor etc) 2. With every enchanting boost available in Skyrim, it is possible for me to make a light dragon armor with `Fortify Destruction and Magicka Regen` with at least 25% magicka reduction and 50% magicka regen? Note: Legal methods only please. That means no mods, multi-potions boosting cheat (one potion is OK) and console commands. PS: * `Fortify Destruction and Magicka Regen` enchantment is considered as **ONE** enchantment. * If anyone wondering how the hell I can cast destruction spell without using magicka, just buff up your items with `Fortify Destruction` enchantment until the total reduction of Magicka cost for Destruction spells become above 100%. _Wuld Nah Kest!_ (Runs away) EDIT: Revised my questions and added some details."} {"_id": "67534", "title": "How does the Prism rune for Diamond Skin interact with spells that have a continious cost?", "text": "Diamond Skin (Prism) Ray of Frost If you had Diamond Skin active with Prism, how does that affect the upkeep cost of channelling Ray of Frost?"} {"_id": "43108", "title": "Which starting planets are shared with which classes?", "text": "If I want to level with a friend, but we want to play different classes, which two classes should we pick so we start on the same starting planet?

However, there is only one minor issue that I was not able to fix no matter what - it is the Mirrored Sprites option, accessible from games setup, under Graphics tab. Basically, it makes characters' sprites animation being mirrored, i.e. when character is facing right and hold his shield in his right hands, then after turning and facing left the shield is immediately swapped to his left hand, being a mirror reflection of his previous stance. In the old days it allowed to save some memory and increase game performance. Nowadays I am not able to turn this option off - it is always active. I noticed this happens in almost every game based on Infinity engine I tried in the past years (Icewind Dale 2, Baldur's Gate Gold).

Search results all say I need the following before I can see Celebi: * All characters * All stages * All 51 event matches * Beating Giga Bowser * Beating Crazy Hand * Sound Test * Score Display * Random stage select (Some of these are redundant, and sometimes Giga Bowser and Crazy Hand are omitted in sources.) I have done all of the above, checking the character screen for characters and the stage select screen for stages, as well as checking the message log to see that I've unlocked all characters and stages. I beat Giga Bowser after completing Adventure Mode on Normal in a speedy enough fashion, and beat Crazy Hand after completing Classic Mode on Normal also quick enough. The former gave me the Giga Bowser trophy but the latter didn't give me anything (so I don't have a Crazy Hand trophy, but sources say to get Celebi one must unlock \"everything except trophies\"). I did all of the event matches, got the sound test, score display, and random stage select. In an attempt to see Celebi, I've had four computers playing Final Destination with the only item being the PokeBall set to Very High frequency. After observing and keeping track a bit, I estimate very conservatively that I've seen well over 800 PokeBalls opened and still no Celebi. Mathematically, as the chances of seeing Celebi in each PokeBall in a normal Vs. match are 1/251, the chances of _not_ seeing Celebi in 800 PokeBalls is just over 4%. Either I've been pretty unlucky so far or I'm missing something - which is it? P.S. I've never used action replay or any hacking tool, and I'm pretty sure I've never deleted my data (although it has been over 10 years since I've last played, according to the message log, lol). P.P.S. Bonuses count in Vs matches right? So if I see Celebi in a Vs. match (even with all computers playing), it will count towards the Diskun trophy. If I do an unlimited time match and at some later point pause and reset, getting a No Contest screen, will all of the bonuses still count, and would seeing Celebi for the first time still count if it was done in that time period?"} {"_id": "173275", "title": "Dealing with pygmy superpigs in Angry Birds Epic?", "text": "I have localized version of Angry Birds Epic, so sorry if my names for things don't match, loosely translating.

As a whole this pig tribe has got following abilities: * sturdy (easily multiple 500+ HP on screen) * hard hitting (bunch of them deal damage very fast and boost with pepper) * get reinforcements (summoners who get in more summoners? yikes) * larger pigs come in single-target **and** multi-target versions * got healers that are just ridiculous (restore 150+HP every turn for 3 turns, wat?) I am level 9, coming to \"cliffs\" area (left of map after sea, then going up), with most recipes from stores bought/crafted and all bird classes so far bought (except one for black bird that just opened up). What had I tried: * white healer bird is simply a must, using with druid class since first one seemed less efficient at healing * red bird with samurai defense makes survival easier, but locks it on defense completely, without making any considerable damage * yellow bird with area poision/heal seems useful against crowds, but it simply doesn't have HP to take a larger pig hit * black bird seems a little inflexible since it does little, but hit hard * blue bird with poison/retarget is a monster... however the only reliable dispel is _another_ class of it :( Trying to focus on defense leaves me without sufficient damage dealing.

However, I just lost twice in a row to some players who quickly brought a Drone in and started building a Spine Crawler on my creep, then moved in with Zerglings soon after. When I would attempt to attack the Zerglings with my Drones, they would pull back and the Spine Crawler would hit the Drones.

The trouble is I can't figure out how to make effective warrior-champions. When I equip a champion with a sword, he's less effective than a unit of three grunts wielding the same sword: to wit, he has about the same attack as _just one_ of those grunts. He may live a bit longer, but he's usually doing pretty terrible damage unless I've gotten lucky and found an excellent weapon. Otherwise, if I buy him equipment from the shop (i.e., the same equipment I can equip my regular units with), he ends up being a very expensive copy of a single figure of a unit, because the shop practices daylight robbery. The unit that I would otherwise build with the same equipment will be cheaper, do more damage (three guys with the same weapon!), and have about the same number of hit points (3 weak guys roughly equals one low-level champion; it only gets worse once I can have 4, 5, or 6 guys in a unit).

But even though I keep sentries on the same short-key as other gateway units they tend to spread out asides.

Yes, the only way to truly harness the Zerg's power, is by going Sauron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gcBqcstXV8 JulyZerg popularized the Sauron Zerg in Brood War, so I'm wondering why he is yet to make it happen in Starcraft 2. I noticed one reason: Sauron works effectively on wide areas, with less to no choke points, allowing you plenty of room to maneuver your hydras and lings. Unfortunately, most 1v1 maps in SC2 have really narrow ramps, making it easier to defend against the Sauron. Protoss and Terran can turtle up, but Sauron must be executed as soon as possible. With waves easily countered by defending a single ramp, we have yet to see Sauron zerg in Starcraft 2.

Now another thing a laborer is supposed to do is move resources around, thus allowing your workers to keep on working when they need to. What is a good ratio of laborers to workers to try and keep my workers from wanting for resources? Or is the ratio more along the lines of laborers to resource production areas (buildings)? I am looking for a general field park number of people not to send off to a specific task. I have seen it mentioned in other questions and answers that you need to have laborers to keep the materials moving around and I am wondering what is a good worker to laborer ratio? 1 to 10? 1 to 5? 1 to 20? I am unsure.

Do you know what is meant by \"chance\" ? It is probably something like an increasing chance over time that decrease every time it triggers, because if it was a flat % chance it would be in the description. Most wizards cooldowns are about 15 seconds. When compared to evocation (reduces all cooldowns by 15%), critical mass needs to trigger at least 3 times every 15 seconds to be better than evocation. In my current setup, this is never the case. I would say that I deal about 10 critical hits in a normal 15 seconds fight. It is most of the time 1, sometimes 2. So I would guess that the base probability is something like 10%. My critical chance when doing this was 7%, so I think you have to increase it by a lot in order for critical mass to be effective. * * * Update: Critical mass recently got patched: > Fixed an issue with certain powers that had a higher than intended chance to > trigger Critical Mass It is still not clear how it works. Apparently it depends in what skill you are using. The only way to be sure is actually testing in the game what the skill does; and I find it very frustrating. I want to be able to design a build without having to test myself every spell independently, or searching though the web if someone did it. * * * Update (1.0.3): With the attack speed nerf, critical mass got un-nerfed. There is a build called windup based on the fact that energy twister with wicked wind makes critical mass trigger very often. * * * Update (1.0.4): Now the skill energy twister - wicked wind used in the windup build has his modifier reduced by half, so the build is still good, but not as good as it used to be."} {"_id": "156582", "title": "Is it possible to keep Boone as a companion and become idolized by Caesars Legion?", "text": "I want to unlock the legions safehouse to get the lucky shades but I've already recruited boone.

Food items give an immediate benefit upon consumption (I've only seen sync % increases so far) and an additional one when fully digested. Each food is takes a certain amount of \"bytes\" to fully digest, where one byte is equivalent to one round of combat. Seeing how there is a maximal amount of bytes that can be taken per day, it would be a shame not to use them all up (as the counter is reset, and you miss out on the potential bonuses you would have gotten). My question is, what happens to food I've only partially digested when the day is over? Let's say I eat something that takes 10 bytes to digest, and then I only fight 5 groups of enemies before the day ends. I still have 5 more bytes to go before receiving that food item's digestion bonus. Do I simply miss out on the bonus? Do the remaining 5 bytes carry over to the next day, counting towards its limit?

Up to this point, there have been many battles that took a few tries, but never any battles that I felt I had to grind for. A few moments' thought, a carefully- crafted Paradigm deck, and a bespoke strategy have gotten me through every battle at the moment I encountered it. I'm now in Titan's Trials, I've gone through one set of five battles, and now I'm on the last battle of another: E1, Mission 45, against a Neochu. **I cannot figure out how I can beat this thing** \u2014 not without leaving and coming back WAY later, anyway. It's hard enough to survive to the halfway point of the battle, and once the bloody thing spawns his Picochus it's all over. I've been using Fang - Lightning - Hope. Fang has around 15,000 HP, Lightning around 12,000, and Hope around 11,000. All my Physical and Earth defense accessories have been distributed among them in several configurations. All three characters are over halfway through Stage 10 of their primary role Crystaria (all the 30,000-CP crystals are lit up), and Lightning and Hope each have Stage 1 of Sentinel. I begin by Hasting everyone, then immediately switch to COM - COM - MED. I always have to have a Medic, because if I don't, two consecutive regular attacks can kill a party member. This continues until Neochu is about to Screech, at which point I switch to SEN - SEN - SEN, which is pretty much necessary to survive the attack. I then switch to COM - MED - MED or SAB - MED - MED to heal while keeping the chain gauge (barely) up. _Then_ the Neochu uses Pollen, so I have to _keep_ my two Medics for a moment, _then_ try to reHaste everyone, which is tricky because Lightning is not a good Medic and by _this_ time the Neochu is attacking again! So I have to go back to COM - COM - MED which leaves me with several debuffs on each character, which are barely gone before the stupid thing Screeches again. Thus I can limp along until the Neochu is at half health. Then he summons his Picochus. _Then_ he screeches, making me pull out SEN - SEN - SEN. If I survive that, I can go SEN - COM - MED, but I can hardly get them all Provoked before my party members start falling, and even if I do, I can't then get Mediguarded in time to survive their initial onslaught.

One thing in I was interested in was the teleportation aspect. First thing I did with success is placing the old portal I had in a different location. I didn't like the location at all, I did the following. * Build the new portal in the Overworld. * Wrote the coordinates and calculated where the new portal should be ( x/8 | z/8) * I broke my old portal, and used the new one to teleport to the nether * In the Nether I broke the old one, and build the new one as close to the right spot * Went back and came out in the new portal Worked out great.

Z: -1112 But my main portal, and base are at: Overworld: X: 180/181; Y: 50; Z: 340 That's a hell of a journey for me. ## Suggestion I wonder if the following would work. * I build a new portal in the overworld more than 128 blocks from my old one * I fire it * I go trough my old portal to the Nether * I build my new Nether portal close to my blazefarm * fire it and go trough it Will I then end up and the new portal in the overworld?

It's pretty fucking serious and in the last few waves you just have to spam cannonballs (it's still more fun than your run of the mill 16 player coop where you're trying to engage some enemies that you can kill normally and people just spam cannons away for fun and profit). Things went pretty nice (given that I was alone for pretty much 98% of the level) and I managed to survive enough to reach the final boss with over one million points (you lose 10k on death), then Ugh-Zan arrived. Well, my use-one-bar-then-spam-cannons strategy didn't work so well, perhaps unsurprisingly. So I kept throwing bars at his behind. At the 5th bar, he stopped having room in his back for new bars, apparently. The boss fight loop then becomes: 1. Ugh-Zan goes for the sand whale, cannon spam to fight his regeneration is practically useless. He _will_ have 100% health at the end of this phase. 2. Ugh-Zan turns around and celebrates, then five lightning bolts turn him to 20% health and regeneration stops. Cannon spam gets him to 5%, then he resumes. 3. Ugh-Zan engages you, and cannon-spam to fight his regen is again useless, because... 4. Ugh-Zan is again struck by five lightnings, but those lightning drop him at 20% health anyway, even if he had 60% to start with. They're just scripted that way. You have a little more time to strike this time around, and I got him to 1% at best. Then he resumes regenerating and I'm back to square one. When another player joined the fight, things got _worse_ as each cannonball now made _less_ of a dent on the skin of this serious boss. After a couple of cycles, he left. Then I noticed I'd died for the 40th time, and I was experiencing a very annoying glitch where I'd get sucked away from the battlefield into sand whale territory (land of the instantly overheating jet-pack), so I'd have to fall, get killed by mobs, respawn, get \"instakilled\" by the whale except I have respawn invulnerability, be stuck in place until I get killed again and then get respawned in the middle of the square. Cannon spam to fight his regen is pointless anyway, but being stuck like that is enraging, so I joined him in \"ragequitting\". Can Ugh-Zan be defeated at all on Serious difficulty and 400% strength?

Now let's consider this scenario: We have two jobs: * Mining a lot of stone blocks * Mining important resources (diamonds / iron / gold etc...) The ideal pickaxe for this situation would require _at least_ : * Efficiency IV * Fortune III Let's say you have such a pickaxe. Mining a lot of stone blocks would destroy the durability pretty fast and repairing such a pickaxe would require a big amount of XP. The whole system is clearly inefficient. Now assume you have two pickaxes now. And you find a way to have Efficiency IV on one and Fortune III in the other; the first one would be the one that would be repaired more often and would be pretty cheap to repair. The second one would be the one used only for very important resources and would therefore rarely need to be repaired.

There's just nothing like forging a trail through the wilderness and discovering a brand new location, loaded down with treasures, monsters, and surprises.

For instance, I need to get to the top of this mountain, where there's a fort. I circle it as best as possible, when I find a path that seems to lead up: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/azhJs.jpg) However, it turns into a dead end: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VcYKz.jpg) The map is often no help in determining which way I should approach a new destination - elevation is very difficult to judge, and there's usually too little detail between the clouds and the odd perspective to figure out how to climb up to a given location. Sometimes I luck out and can throw myself off a cliff at a location, but I don't always have this luxury. I realize I could mod/cheat/glitch my way up mountainsides (I include horses in this, for their unnatural ability to climb vertical mountain faces) but I know that Bethesda must have some way of getting to every valid location, and I just have to figure it out. I typically just brute force my way by circling the mountains until I find the \"right way up.\" However, I sometimes find this process frustrating, and it would be really nice if I could narrow the search space, at least somewhat.

For the vigors, I generally use one of Murder of Crows or Shock Jockey (occasionally Bucking Bronco, if enemy is behind cover). The former two are mainly to distract them, so I can a) Move in close with the shotgun b) Back off, find cover and pull out the sniper Also, Shock Jockey is useful for turrets, Handymen, Patriots, etc. As I write this, I'm relatively early on in the game, so I haven't upgraded anything except the sniper rifle and I don't have too much useful gear, so I won't list that. The main question is - should I use the **Shotgun** or the **Hand Cannon**? I have used the Hand Cannon a little bit, and both seem pretty similar weapons - I use them in close quarters and they are extremely good alongside the sniper rifle and my above mentioned vigors. The only difference I could see was that the Hand Cannon seemed to have a higher rate of fire (though I'm not sure, maybe it's just me) as well as noticeably better range. The damage output seemed rather similar too.

When they overextend, I try to punish it, but altogether I think Shen is not offensive enough to gank alone. So I prefer to gank my enemy when the jungler shows up. This works very well against melee champs like Xin Zhao, Shen or Nautilus. Now when I play against a ranged carry on top I really tend to fail. For example, I can't do anything versus a Teemo. All I can do is try to safely farm with my Q. If I try anything else, he goes for me, and I am not quite sure what I can do about it. I can't bring do burst damage to him since Shen has no burst.

He also has the \"revive from death\" ability. 2. a Sniper who I just acquired from another mission, who can snipe after moving, but is a terrible shot 3. a Heavy who is also a lousy shot and has minimal bonuses; one rocket. 4. a Rookie. All have grenades except the Support. We tried flanking the UFO, but every time we encounter one trio of Thin Men, 2 more trios get activated within one turn. Cover is sparse; we get the occasional tree. I'd love to use someone to lead these guys back to me to take out one-by-one, but it's nearly impossible without getting wiped out, and I don't seem to be able to extract them, as there's no extraction zone, so I don't want to lose my well-traveled Support guy. Suggestions? Start over? Also because of my knee-jerkiness, I left the Arc thrower at home with my wounded Assault trooper. :-( **CONCLUSION:** Of note, I've re-attempted using the advice below, and used the support member to draw them out. After 2 attempts, I'm keeping the successful one where only my rookie got killed; my heavy tends to panic, so he's going in the drawer."} {"_id": "76053", "title": "Is it possible to beat the Metroid Prime 1 boss without losing energy?", "text": "Out of all the bosses I've ever fought, I've had the most trouble with this SOB.

This seems reasonable if you have air superiority, but requires a lot of micro... and actually is a little bit risky (he can scan you and kill easily while you tanks are not in siege mode yet). If this seems reasonable, what is amount of tanks you need to bring to be successful with that? **3. Can you make another example and solution for that?** offense, defense, combat, drop, etc... Any ideas are welcome. Thanks a lot P.S.

I have to build up the attack before I can use it. By requiring MP, I am forced to keep my MP replenished. That's not something I necessarily want to have to worry about if I'm wandering around.

I have tried dropping them and trying again, I have tried dropping them without leg armor equipped and picking them up with auto equip enabled. I have sold it to a merchant and then re-buying them. I have put them in my stash and tried to equip the pants on another hero, I've tried logging in and out, restarting the game, restarting the computer... obviously nothing has worked. This seems like a pretty odd bug... I would like a work around because I don't want to have this happen to me again down the line. Furthermore, this is kind of killing my interest in actually playing the game... I just want my pants so I can go kill the mad king... is this really that hard?

From what I see you could go to your minerals line, select all harvesters and see how much do you have. But sometime it is hard to do that (other units, non-harvesting SCV/probes). Time - is also factor. I would like to look into my supply numbers and know something like this: currently I have 50/64 supply.... how much harvesters do I have 20? 30?

Specifically: * What is the best armor for this battle? In the high scores, I see lots of plate and leather armor wearers. This seems odd to me, since Satan uses Unholy Fires every turn when you're at a distance, and his melee attack looks magical as well. The only physical damage comes from the bats as far as I can tell. * What is the best weapon setup? Since Satan's melee attack knocks you back several tiles, I thought bow and arrows might be the answer, but then you don't get to wear a shield. I found that I was taking so much damage each turn I could barely keep myself alive, let alone do significant damage. I guess you could throw arrows and keep your shield, but their accuracy and damage seems greatly diminished when thrown. * What skills are most effective? I tried using Searing Blade, but he didn't get \"softened\". Is he immune to status effects? Is Heal worth maxing out? Is Whack of Glory effective when you can only actually melee attack him one out of every four or five turns? * Is it even possible to get the necessary equipment on one playthrough, or are you pretty much required to build up an epic locker stash of +5 everything or enough food to let you level up to 15?

This was generally sold in a box from a store, just like the original game, and required the original game to play - very much like downloadable content. Now, the term \"expansion pack\" is not something that I see very often, if at all. Instead, everything seems to be called \"downloadable content\", is very rarely available in a box from a store, and is normally distributed over the internet through some form of digital library system like Steam, or from the developer directly. I feel this is more than simply \"what marketing chose to call it\", Blizzard for example never call their new WoW content \"downloadable content\", even though each of them is automatically downloaded via their launcher - but instead always call them \"expansion packs\". Case in point, during some discussion about future content for Skyrim (from some time ago now, since Skyrim has been out for more than a year already), Todd Howard at Bethesda is quoted stating the following; > \"For Fallout 3 we did five DLCs,\" Howard told me during an interview last > week at the DICE Summit. \"That was a very aggressive path for us.

My first two major items are offensive items _(`BotRK` and `Phantom Dancer` or `Statikk Shyv`)_. The **third item** could be either another **offensive one** _(`Last Whisper`, `IE` or `Bloodthirster`)_ or a **defensive one** _(mostly`GA`)_. Lets say that by the time I have to make the choice we are (partially) out of the laning phase and skirmishes are happening over the map with full 5v5 teamfights soon to come. If I am behind then I choose based on whether or not I am being focused in teamfights and the ability of my team to protect me. If I am ahead and my whole team is ahead then I chose damage, as there is little risk involved. My question is what to do when I am ahead but my team is behind (I am fed, but most of the kills in my team are mine and the enemy team has 2-3 fed champions). * As I am the only one at this state of the game that does real damage in my team I could **choose damage** , as it will scale exponentially with what I already have. This way I think we stand a chance of winning if I manage to deal my damage but any little mistake (getting caught, being focused etc) will pretty much cost us the game since if I die my team loses any advantage or leverage it had. * If I **choose a defensive item** I can survive a little longer to deal my damage, I can take bolder risks, I can escape some situations where I would have been otherwise dead. However I feel like I won't have enough damage. Also if I get caught most of the time won't matter what defensive items I have, I am dead anyway. So what is the smart choice here? Should I risk it all and get more damage and hope I kill them before they kill me, or play safe and hope we can last longer and win (maybe they throw, maybe we get a few lucky kills/objectives)? Please note that is only about the 3rd item choice, not about if I should go glass cannon all the way. Even if I choose damage, there will be be eventually a defensive item (maybe the next item, maybe the last). Also the question I have is about the route: offensive or defensive, not which items specifically. Once I made my choice, I know what items to take depending on the game. If it matters, I am Silver.

But now that I'm planning out a new character I'm wondering how many light armour perks I need. What I have found so far about getting the best smithing is this: * Obviously you need 100 smithing and the create/improve dragon perk. * You can get a 15 smithing skill bonus from the quest Unfathomable Depths (huge!) * By making Improve Alchemy enchants and Improve Enchanting potions a few times you can create +28% smithing bonus on gear (is this the max?). By putting that on gloves, ring and necklace you can get 3*28 = +84% smithing. By using the bug that you can stack a Falmer Helmet and a Circlet you can add 2*28 = +54% to that for a total bonus of 54+84 = 138%. * By making the best Fortify Smithing potion (uses Falmer Helmet stack with Circlet bug) you can get another 147%. According to the formula found here this would give an effective smithing value of: Effective smithing = ROUND(((100 + 15)/0.86) - 16) * 2 * 2.38 * 2.47 ~= 1387 Is this the best obtainable? What would the armour value of the created set of Dragonscale have? Most importantly, would it be possible to reach the armor cap **without** utilizing the perk \"Custom Fit\"? This would open the possibility of using a Falmer Helmet + Circlet opening up two more enchants. Note: I don't want to use is the fortify health bug giving you insane smithing bonuses."} {"_id": "61824", "title": "Confused about how Bow abilities work", "text": "Why does each skill say, \"increases quiver size and increase arrow by 1\"?

If you save up your default maximum of 100 Fury and then cast Ancient Spear with the Boulder Toss rune you deal 2000% weapon damage to your target and every enemy unfortunate enough to be standing in his vicinity. Pretty cool and again fairly straight forward. But wait...what happens when you mix the resource cost reduction with the skill that says \"spend all the resource\"? Is the resource cost reduction stat ignored? Does the skill deal more damage? Is there some other way it works that I haven't thought of?"} {"_id": "49989", "title": "Do you really get 30,000 CP for each fragment?", "text": "This is a quote from this website: > Final Fantasy 13-2 doesn\u2019t really require much grinding compared to Final > Fantasy 13.

So a typical space mission might only return to Kerbin with the command pod and perhaps some scientific equipment. This would typically just need one or two parachutes - rarely more, and you could usually just make a \"gut instinct\" judgement call to decide when to throw on one or two more. Version 0.24, \"First Contract\", changed this significantly. Now, vehicle components have monetary value and that value can at least partially be refunded by returning the component to Kerbin safely. This doesn't just go for the stage containing the command pod, either. If you can get lower stages landed intact, you can recover those costs as well. This new responsibility to keep whatever parts we can greatly increases the complexity of spacecraft design in terms of the number and placement of parachutes. After a bit of trial and error, I think I've more or less gotten a handle on placement. For small chunks that are good at landing vertically (and staying that way), it's no big deal - just use radial symmetry and put 'em wherever. Larger pieces need all of their parachutes on one side, and evenly distributed from the center of mass - otherwise, when the tail lands first and the 'chutes cut automatically (Why?), the rest of the component will free-fall to the ground and likely be destroyed on impact. The problem I'm having though is figuring out how many parachutes are appropriate to safely land a given mass. A couple times, I've put on too few and some (or all) parts ended up destroyed when they touched down too fast. So what I usually wind up doing now is putting on too many parachutes, which causes the final descent to be unnecessarily and inexorably slow. So, given the following known values: * Total Mass of components to be safely returned to Kerbin * Impact Tolerance of weakest component * Mass and Drag of each parachute model Are there any easy ways to calculate how many parachutes will be appropriate to safely return the components to Kerbin without slowing them down much more than is absolutely necessary? I'm sure there's a certain amount of complexity to the \"right way\" of doing it (and I'd definitely be interested in seeing that), but I'm really looking for something that's more easily done by those of us who _aren't_ rocket scientists outside of KSP. A general rule along the lines of \"You need _x_ drag per unit of mass to reduce the impact speed by 1 m/s\" or \"Use _x_ drag per unit of mass to reduce the impact speed to _y_ m/s and _z_ drag per unit of mass per 1 m/s after\" would be preferable, if the problem can be indeed simplified that far. I'm also aware there are some online tools and possibly some mods for this sort of thing. While those would also be interesting to know about, the preferred solution should be a calculation that someone with a non-specialized U.S. high school education (or less) could do in their head (or in one or two calculation steps on a _basic_ calculator), given the above known variables, while playing the stock KSP game."} {"_id": "174555", "title": "How to build a Quarry of a size larger than 64x64 in Feed the Beast?", "text": "Please explain with screenshots how to do this and how an in which order and where I have to place and activate the quarry and the landmarks.

I am concerned the audio quality will be poor, but I'm not sure if the Xbox supports HDMI video + some other audio output at the same time. I also have concerns about price, and most digital speakers I could find were very expensive and designed for much more elaborate setups. Anyone know what outputs the Xbox has, and which audio/video outputs would be best to use? And what should I be looking for as far as speakers go? I seem to only find big expensive digital ones designed for home media centers or tiny analog ones for office workstations. I also elected to add a spare wireless controller.

I am interested in PC and mobile platform recording too. And Secondarily, how can I edit the footage professionally for YouTube trailers and gameplay videos? P.S. for amateur level recording, please see How can I record demos of my gameplay?. # Why: This is primarily for professional trailers and footage from our indie game studio (i.e., http://youtube.com/xonagames), but also for posting YouTube videos of personal gameplay accomplishments (i.e., http://youtube.com/matthewdoucette). # Current setup: * Blackmagic Intensity Pro capture card * Dell Precision T3400 workstation * four 7,200 RPM hard drive RAID-0 array * simulates a single 28,800 RPM hard drive * Blackmagic recommends a 10..15 hard drive RAID-0 array, with a minimum requirement of a four hard drives * Recording in 720p JPEG compression (5:1 file size compression compared to raw) <-- this is as high as I can go in compression and I need at least 720p resolution to maintain professional quality. * Windows Vista (Windows 7 soon) * edit raw output capture files in VirtualDub * final edit in Windows Movie Maker (I know...) This is a system we purchased and setup for professionally recording footage of our games. It needs improvement. I also use it to record personal video game play and would like to do this more. The inconvenience of it all is what stops me. # Example output of current setup: Here's an example trailer of our own video game, produced with this system: If you have a good eye, or even not, you can see the swap fields problem on all the game play footage. I know the solution, but it requires too much meddling with VirtualDub to \"fix\" the huge raw output files from the Intensity Pro. In the trailer above, I simply forgot to do this and ran out of time to fix it. This trailer took about a day's work from start to end. Too much time for indie developers without time. But, there's pros too. Here's example quality achieved by this setup, courtesy of Forza 3: Amazing quality. Please note, which the very informed of you will already realize, that the above Forza 3 footage is from Forza 3's replay mode, which actually plays at 30 fps, not 60 fps, and it _blurs_ the screen with motion blur effects. This is why it translates to the 30 fps (I think) of YouTube better than 60 fps gameplay with every second frame cut out. I want software that does this for me from my 60 fps footage, using every two frames (or more) together to produce a lower frame rate with proper motion blur. # Problems with current setup: Even with a four hard drive RAID-0 array, it still skips frames. A single skipped frame is not so bad, but when they add up it takes the video out of synch from the audio which is not skipped. Imagine separate video and audio buffers each being filled independently, but not equally whenever there is not information to fill it, which is what happens when the hard drive is too slow for a moment and skips recording the frame. You can see this effect at the end of this video, slightly, when you watch and listen to the \"ting\" of breaking the gates (Geometry Wars 2)... ...and this is only after 3 minutes. Imagine how far the audio/video synch would be after an hour. (The reason the video is ahead of the audio, and not vice-versa, is perhaps at first unintuitive depending how you think about it. I'll clear up the confusion: The video buffer is not filled as \"high\" as the audio buffer due to all the skipped video frames. Now imagine the final video frame, where there is extra audio to spare topping off the more filled audio buffer. Necessarily, the video is matched with audio from the \"past\". So when the player breaks a gate in Geometry Wars 2, you see the gate breaking and the audio of the gate breaking has yet to come. So upon replay the video happens first.) Inconvenience #1: Because of the above skip frame problem, I have to take video in small chunks. A level at a time. I'd rather record for hours and forget I'm even recording, when playing games. Inconvenience #2: Nothing on the computer can be loaded or in focus while the video is being recorded, which is Blackmagic's way of making sure they have full power of the computer to not skip frames. Not a flaw, but just inconvenient to have the PC unusable. Swapped fields (think every two scan lines are swapped), which require editing in VirtualDub for importing into Windows Movie Maker. What I would like to do is record for hours, preferably at 720p or 1080p at 60 fps or 30 fps blurred from 60 fps input. # Bonus points You'll get bonus points (not really) if you can help with any of the following: Answer the same question for recording off of PC's (with an HDMI output in my card, I think I can use the same solution as a console) and mobile platforms. Suggest _anything_ that helps me have a better video recording setup. Including operating system (even though I'll be unlikely to change), hardware (HD PVRs maybe?), and software. Including anything cost-effective. We certainly do not have an unlimited budget, but have a need for professional video capturing. Preservation of the 60 frames per second input, in the lower (30?) frames per second output, while keeping in mind whatever YouTube does for processing as well. For example, if the final YouTube video is only 30 fps, it's smoother to _not_ drop every second frame but instead incorporate all the frames into a more blurry, but more information packed, 30 fps. This is why videos captured on 30 fps handheld cameras from our 60 fps games look smooth, as they do this maintaining of all frames' information inherently. Here's an example of my 30 fps camera recording my 60fps game, where you can feel the smoothness compared to other videos of the same game... ...you can see in the video above, especially when pausing it, that each frame contains more than one frame (of the original 60 fps frames) of information. THis video may only be 20 fps, as I can tell from the larger bosses that there are three distinct explosion rings when I know the game (at least at the time of the recording) only had one. All of this makes for a much smoother viewing which also more accurately portrays what you would see in real life. Lot of stuff here. Lots of thoughts and rambling.

At some point, the trigger must be pulled and a tower has to go down. My problem is knowing when that is considered acceptable in each lane. Also, when do I switch from minion killing to hit a champion as each lane? I have the most trouble in top lane figuring this out. Do I hit minions and ignore the enemy champ if they hit me? Do I sucker-punch him randomly? Do I engage when he engages? Do I run away? I know this is very, very variable on who I am and who they are, but I have to have some guidelines to go by. Mid is much easier to understand on trades. Bottom lane ADC, I know that I should be focused on only getting CS and ONLY taking champs down when they are pushing too far, when I have own jungle incoming to our lane, or when our support does a good job of locking them down. Is this right, though?"} {"_id": "22528", "title": "How do I get access to higher performance cars in multiplayer on Forza 3?", "text": "When I enter races on xbox live all the other players tend to have access to higher performance cars.

When you have two bedrooms that are right next to each other the two rooms will share a wall, meaning that there is overlap. Does overlapping borders decrease room value when only the walls are in the overlap? Does overlapping borders decrease dwarf happiness? Is it better to have a 5x5 that overlaps with neighbours or 3x3 that doesn't? Does overlap of an office with a bedroom matter? Also, do bedrooms need doors, can I make exit stairwells instead? I'm planning on giving crafting dwarves bedrooms directly below their workshops."} {"_id": "149815", "title": "How can I scoop up my plundered space-booty?", "text": "I've decided that the space pirate life is for me. I have a decent ship (Asp Explorer) and have equipped all the necessary stuff I need to chase targets through space (radar mapper and hyperspace cloud analyzer) plus some decent weaponary. I can blast my targets out of space easily, their loot then goes flying but I just can't pick it up. I have a fuel scoop (converted to a cargo scoop) but can't figure out how to activate it. The cargo goes flying off into space so I chase after it - but it's moving at one speed, I'm moving at another in different directions and by the time I catch up with it I just crash into it and destroy myself. There's no prompt to 'trigger cargo scoop' as far as I can tell, I just approach it and then explode. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing a vital piece of equipment needed to scoop this stuff up? Can only certain type of products be scooped? Is it just my bad maneuvering that's to blame? Frontier:First Encounters makes reference to a tractor beam, but I only have Elite 2: Frontier and don't think this attachment is available. If it were that'd be ideal, but no space ports seem to stock it so I guess it's not available in this game."} {"_id": "149814", "title": "Can you dye the costumes?", "text": "Can you dye the costumes (Ezio's Costume, the Pirate Kidd Costume) and others or is the colour on them permanent?"} {"_id": "149816", "title": "Where is my room when I buy it?", "text": "I started playing Elder Scroll Arena and completed some side missions and at night I went to an inn and bought a room.

Shaco instantly stealths > for 3.5 seconds, and teleports to target nearby location. If he attacks > while stealthed, the attack is guaranteed to crit for 40/60/80/100/120% > bonus physical damage. It seems counter intuitive to have the damage be called both critical and bonus damage and increase as the ability is leveled up. I pose the following scenario: Shaco with level 5 Deceive and Infinity Edge. We will assume he is doing a total of 100 damage to make the analysis easy. On attack after using Deceive will The attack deal 220 Damage (100 base + 120 from deceive) OR will the attack deal 270 damage (100 base + 120 from Deceive + 50 from Infinity Edge). If neither of the above scenarios are correct please enlighten me as I may be misunderstanding the interaction Infinity Edge has with base attacks compared to base attacks modified by abilities.

I've decided I want to do the rest of this 'toon's leveling through random dungeon instances (as an experiment). Normally I don't like LFG PUGs (pick-up groups found through the newish \"Looking For Group\" interface) because they usually seem to be frenetic and impatient. (Yeah, my usual style could be described as methodical and almost sedately paced). So I'm somewhat less experienced with LFG PUGs than I am with other aspects of the game. This Pally is dual spec'd (healadin/tankadin). When I've tanked it seems to work reasonably well. Feedback I get from others is generally positive and I don't seem to have issues with mana regen nor too many problem losing aggro (I can usually pull back the mobs that peel off of me before any clothie bites it). However, when I'm trying to heal I'm apparently not doing so well. I got kicked from two PUGs in a row yesterday simply because I was having to drink after almost every trash skirmish. I was spending almost all my time doing Holy Light, Flash of Light and, in the latter case, keeping Beacon of Light on the tank. I was barely able to do any off healing and did almost no contribution to DPS. Here's the exported talent build: Healadin Build: lvl 63 Currently I have major Glyph of Divinity, Glyph of Beacon of Light, and minor Glyph of Lay on Hands and Glyph of Blessing of Wisdom. My gear is a hodge podge mostly picked up from the AH on the same day that I leveled ... though I'm favoring MP/5 where I have a choice. (GearScore 898 --- +7657 armor, +88 str, +87 int, +41 manareg, +34 ap, +12 dodge, and so on). When healing I have been using Concentration Aura and buff with Greater Blessing of Wisdom and Seal of Wisdom. (However, I'm suspicious of the latter of these buffs, no benefit unless I'm doing some melee). So, my question is what would be some improvements I could make? What gear would be good for healing (and preferably not require me to mess with carrying around separate gear for tanking)? Are there better glyphs I should be using? Tweaks to my talent tree? Better buffs (including food buffs)? As I said it appears that mana regen is my biggest issue ... though I also feel like my casting time it too slow (haste rating?). (Incidentally I'm willing to consider that the problem may have been those two tanks. I know everyone complains about tanks all the time. So I'm hesitant to blame it on them. However, they were both DKs and I didn't look at their gear or specs ... but I don't think either of them were wielding a shield. Lvl 60/61 DKs are sorta fresh out of their starting areas and many of them seem to be much better at DPS and off-tanking than as primary tanks. It did feel like they were pulling way more trash at each skirmish than they needed to, and they would charge right from one skirmish to the next without checking my mana bar. I'm mostly here responding to their complaints that I was spending too much time drinking ... looking for ways to improve on that)."} {"_id": "4088", "title": "Why does the # mean beside trained units in SC2?", "text": "In starcraft 2 there is a building that allows you to buy trained units and there is a cooldown on them.

I have my modded minecraft server (about 120 mods installed) and some world on it I've played a lot. I decided to add new mod - `OreSpawn`. When I added it I faced a lot of id conflicts. The thing is that `OreSpawn` has fixed base block id and other block ids are generated depending on this base block id value. So I had to dump all available block ids using `NEI`, then I selected the widest id range to fit all ~400 blocks from `OreSpawn`, changed base block id value so I had only two id conflicts in result. Those two conflicted items are from `AppliedEnergistics`. One of them is `null` item, I'm not quite sure what it is. The second one is **tiny tnt**. So i decided change tiny tnt id in `AppliedEnergistics.config` file. As you can guess this will change all existed **tiny tnts** in my world to something from `OreSpawn`. The funniest thing is that this _\"something\"_ is block called **\"random dungeon spawner\"** and it generats gigantic dungeons/castles with tons of really nasty and hardcore mobs in places where my AE system, chests and basically all home was. I tried to downgrade my mod pack, find all those **tiny tnt** blocks in game and void them, but still I face this issue.

I have several issues however: * If players are seen hacking or glitching, server administrators are not on 100% of the time and I am only one person. I cannot handle dozens of people screaming my name in chat because they have a hunch that somebody is doing illegal things. * Another issue is Tekkit fly hackers. It's very hard to tell if somebody is using a hacked client versus simply using a fly ring. Since fly-disabled is set to false, people can float forever and the server will not even do so much as log the event.

I want to keep it challenging now that I've leveled up and have better equipments, and wanted the community's advice regarding that. Details of my (first) build: * Level 48, with 100 Smithing/Alchemy/Enchanting/Sneak, 70+ Archery, 40+ One-Handed, 40+ Destruction (which I rarely use since the last 10 levels or so) * Armor rating of 565 (Dragonscale), using 4x28% Smithing clothing and 118% Smithing potion, * Daedric Bow with 320 damage (+29 pts of Fire/shock damage), made with the same smithing gear above and 31% fortify enchanting potion, * Jewellery double enchanted with fire/frost/magic/shock resistance (46% elemental, 23% for magic).

So far, I've turned on the difficulty to Master, and have started to actively hunt down tougher quests (like going after Dragon Priests), but I still don't seem to able to make it challenging enough. So, my question(s) are: 1. Is there anything that I've done incorrectly for my build, in that I shouldn't have tried to get the _best_ gear midway through the game? 2. Are there any _hard_ quests that I've completely missed, or do you think that now if I start new questlines with my increased stats, the game would level up the difficulty for me?

Good treatment for that is an early push with marines/marauders. You can research Concussive Shells very quickly and marauders will wipe out zealots pretty quickly. However, you can't research Stimpack quickly, and if Protoss has some stalkers and few zealots, it's easy to lose your marauders: marauders will slow down zealots but will be killed by the stalkers. Also, you need to micro your units very attentively just to keep them alive a little bit longer while the Protoss player can just command them to attack and go back to macro. So an early push without stim-pack doesn't look so attractive: you can lose your marauder army without any significant benefit. Okay, maybe you forced the Protoss to build stalkers/zealots that he probably didn't plan, but if he still has his army and you don't, this isn't of much benefit to you.

I'm currently about halfway to leveling up again -- this time to 20, which would get me the next achievement. I'm trying to avoid gaining or losing karma at _least_ until I level up again. I haven't done too many quests, oddly, mostly for fear of the karma gain/loss. Also, oddly, I haven't really explored much of the world. (I haven't even been to Minefield! I lied to Moira ... ) It looks like I'll need < 500 XP to get this next level and its corresponding achievement. After that, I can be good (or evil) as needed until I'm close to level 30. What are some places I can go, or quests I can do, which will have no effect on karma, but gain me enough XP so I can get this achievement and get on with the game? In order to help with this a bit, here are the quests (off the top of my head) that I've completed: * Wasteland Survival Guide * Power of the Atom * Main storyline until I'm told to go find Dad in a vault * Operation: Anchorage * Mothership Zeta * Reilly's Rangers * Blood Ties * Stealing Independence * The Replicated Man Aside from locations needed for those quests, here are some of the other places I've already visited (and in most cases, cleared, if they were hostile): * Museum of History (including Underworld and all other levels, all Lincoln artifacts retrieved) * Rivet City * Megaton (which is still standing) * Arlington Library * \"Enough\" of the metro to have gotten me through the portions of the storyline I've completed * Only a few places in DC proper (those needed for the missions above) * MDPL-13 power station (but not cleared, just \"en route\" to Mothership Zeta) Like I said, I just need a few hundred XP until I feel safe and comfortable continuing to do the real missions. :) I do have all the DLC, but don't feel like doing The Pitt nor Point Lookout just yet. **Edit:** To clarify, I'm either looking for side quests which have no karmic ramifications, or I'm looking for other sources of non-karmic XP. (In the latter case, most likely places to go clear of already-hostile creatures, such as feral ghouls or super mutants.) Anything that can non-karmically take me up a few thousand XP fairly rapidly to get me to level 20 where the achievement is. At that point, I can go back to doing whatever I want, because I already know how to balance it all out. (EG, I have a stockpile of scrap metal to hand Walter for free, a bunch of caps for church donations, a bunch of purified water for Carlos, and am not at all above breaking & entering & looting people's homes. :)"} {"_id": "58758", "title": "Is it possible to snare someone with only slows?", "text": "I know there are diminishing returns, but is a chain of slow able to completely immobilize someone?

The latter is further reinforced in the trailer for the new Telltale Games series, where Marcus tells a couple aspiring adventurers that they'll only get themselves killed in whatever they are trying to do because they are not Vault Hunters. Vault Hunters seem to come from all walks of life - especially the DLC characters. So far, here's who we've got. * **Brick** (Berzerker): Large and in charge, he came to Pandora to find his missing sister. * **Lilith** (Siren): I can't find much in the way of specifics on her background in a cursory glance, but apparently there's a geek side to her as we discover in Tiny Tina's expansion. * **Mordecai** (Hunter): Professional sharpshooter since he was 17. Has a real attachment to his pet bird-of-prey, Bloodwing, which I'm not sure was ever really explained. * **Roland** (Solder): Again, can't find anything in a quick wiki glance, but he's obviously got some military background. * **Axton** (Commando): Former Dahl military. Came to Pandora seeking fame, fortune, and combat. * **Maya** (Siren): Raised and exploited by the Order of the Impending Storm, Maya has come to Pandora in search of knowledge about her background as a Siren. * **Salvador** (Gunzerker): A freedom fighter, native to Pandora, who found out about the Vault while interrogating a Hyperion soldier who had come to take over his hometown. * **Zer0** (Assassin): Professional assassin with an overall mysterious past. We don't even know for sure that he's human. * **Gaige** (Mechromancer): A child prodigy who was expelled from school due to an incident involving her latest creation, Deathtrap. While running away from home, she stowed away on the same train that carried Roland, Axton, Maya, Salvador, and Zer0 to Windshear Waste. * **Krieg** (Psycho): Krieg is, well... a Psycho. With a sort-of stalker-y crush on Maya. Yeah, I think that's about it. The only thing any of these people seem to have in common is that, at one point or another, they decided that hunting for the Vault seems like something they need to do with their life.

However, there are also large score bonuses for murdering people in particularly brutal fashion. For instance, consider a vent kill: * 600 points for the kill (a \"Prowling Spider\") * 250 points for hiding the body (automatic, I drag him into the vent) If I avoid him instead, though, I just get +400 at the end of the level, plus if I manage to do the entire level perfectly I might get +3000, but with 20 or more guards per level, this works out to 150 or fewer points per guard. Stacked on top of this, I could have gotten \"Undetected\" (+200) by hiding in the room with him previously, and/or \"Distracted\" (+150) for getting him to look the other way by breaking a light for example. These bonuses can occur either way, though, so they're not useful to this discussion. That leaves us with 850 points for a kill (or even 650 in the worst case where I don't get \"fancy\" about it and just stab him through the neck while his back is turned) versus ~550 for leaving him undisturbed. It seems to me like the best idea is to murder everyone and hide their bodies.

What to do?", "text": "I have recently made my heir the ruler of a small county I recently conquered. Problem is, one of my other vassals suddenly declared war on my heir over his county! Most uncool. I've not yet given my heir any other titles, and since it is a small and recently conquered county, he can barely raise any levy of his own. Defeat is therefore imminent for him. I thought about imprisoning the aggressor, but it seems challenging my heir is not a justified reason to do so. Nor can I revoke his title. As I see it, I have a few options: 1. Give control of more powerful counties to my heir, thus making his powerbase stronger 2. Let them duke it out for themselves, and plot against the aggressor 3. Imprison/assinate/revoke the title of the aggressor anyway I don't really like the third option, even if it seems the most natural. The reason being, that the bishops for example like me just a bit more than the pope, and the penalty would make them pay their tax to him instead. The numbers are not in my favour for an assassination attempt. Option two may also have some drawbacks. What happens if my heir is jailed by the aggressor? Would I have to ransom him out (and how does that work)? It might take years for me to set up a plot against him, and it's not cool to have my heir sit in the slammer in the meantime \u2014 and even then, I wouldn't know how to free him. Would he be transferred to me when the aggressor suddenly gets whacked of natural causes, or do all his prisoners receive the get-out-of-jail-free-card? Have I overlooked any options? It would be nice to simply demand the aggressor to denounce his claim, or to give military support to my heir somehow \u2014 as far as I can see, my best bet here is option one above, even if it leave less profit$ for myself. How can I avoid this in the future? In hindsight, I guess I should have given my heir more power right off the bat, but I wanted to expand a little bit to give him a complete duchy. **EPILOGUE** It's been a while, but here is the thrilling conclusion to my little conundrum. I pondered over it, and figured out I had been unwise when dividing up my lands. I had reached my limit before my son became of age, and had ended up giving a strong county to the later aggressor. When my son came of age, I gave him a small recently aqcuired land (means no standing army) as I had planned to expand and give him a whiole region later on. Now, seeing as the land I had given him was useless anyway, I gave him a better one. Still not enough to win the war, but at least he'd still have a title while I plotted revenge. Coincidentally, my ruler died shortly after, and the heir became a young king with a strong goal to take out the garbage. I knew the count wanted a duchy, so I planted my spy master there and waited a few years, untill he discovered a plot. I actually failed to imprison him, which may not have been such a bad thing, because I could then crush him with military might, which is more satisfying anyway. Since I had a claim to my original land, I first revoked that title (I realized, that I might have been able to do that as soon as I became king. Comments?) I then revoked his first title, on the grounds of treachery. This meant I went over my demesne limit, but instead of making the same mistake of handing out lands to third parties, I've decided to hang on to it untill my heir becomes of age (ten years or so). Lastly, I upped the crown authority to medium, which means none of my vassals my wage war on eachother. _Slightly off-topic, but interesting post scriptum_ A curious thing happened. I wanted the count to rebel against me, so I could have his head cut off, and tried numerous things, such as making him a court jester and bad mouthing him. Finally, I raised all his units (only a couple of hundred) and sent them off to the holy land, figuring this would not please him. Coincidentally, a prolonged crusade had been going on, and the city it was all about, was unguarded. I moved my forces in. I hadn't nearly enough men to besiege anything, untill a rather large English force moved in shortly after. Since I was there first, I became the siege leader. With such a large army of people I didn't care about, I kept assaulting the walls. Although all my men died, the city was taken in my honour. I didn't bother sending more men, but the sultan never retook the city, meaning I slowly racked up the war score. When he eventually sued for peace, I therefore \"won\" the crusade with absolutely no effort, and the pope declared months of celebrations in my name!"} {"_id": "166244", "title": "Is there a way to run Minecraft 1.7.9 from the command line, and connect to a server without seeing the launcher or main menu?", "text": "I'm trying to set up an easy way to get into a server I'm running by just clicking on a .bat file or .command file, on PC and Mac, and I've found guides for getting it to work for 1.6 or 1.7.4, but none of them work any more for 1.7.9.

I've healed many dungeons and Heroics with great success. Unfortunately, this has mostly trained me for single-target healing for relatively short boss fights, and raid healing seems to be quite different. I know I'm doing something wrong, because no matter what I try I can't seem to approach the upper echelon of healers (top 3 on Recount) at all. I realize that the way you heal can change drastically based on the boss your group is fighting, but my question is about the \"general standard\". Here is the strategy I use: 1. Beacon of Light the off tank. 2. Spam Holy Light on the main tank. This gives him the Illuminated Healing buff (damage absorption) and heals the off tank for the equivalent amount. 3. Use Holy Shock to generate holy power and keep Eternal Flame on both the main tank and the off tank. 4. If the entire raid needs healing: spam Holy Radiance -> Holy Shock -> Light of Dawn. There are two big problems with this. First is the fact that, as I've said, my healing numbers are way, way too low. Clearly something is wrong. I have a lot of \"overheal\" using this method. The second big issue is that I tend to run out of mana about halfway through any reasonable boss fight. Even using Divine Plea doesn't really help much. What am I doing wrong?

However, in practice, I'm finding it a hard weapon to slay beasties with, compared to my go-to weapon, the Sword & Shield. But I want to learn a longer weapon to make certain things (like tail cutting) easier on the taller monsters. Some things that are throwing me for a loop: * **Speed** - When I have the axe out, my hunter moves more slowly. When I have the sword out, my hunter can barely stagger around. A big problem (for me) when fighting large monsters is keeping up with the buggers! They don't like to stand still and let you wail on them! * **Combos** - Pretty much any combination of X and A gives me a nice combo with the Sword & Shield, and assuming I'm close enough to my target, things die pretty quick. Switch axe has these combos in sword mode, but I'm trying to find uses for Axe mode. Most of what I end up mashing stops after 1 or 2 hits. * **Specials** - I really like the Sword / Shield jumping attack; it moves you forward, essentially allowing you a longer reach (I can even hit tails swinging above my head). The Switch Axe's specials are less obvious, both in how and when to use them. Axe Mode gives me a sort of \"Helicoptor Effect\" that depletes stamina for continuous attack. Seems pretty nifty, but see \"Speed\" above. Sword mode gives me some sort of... gassy explosion? And then I have to reload my sword afterwards? Eh? Not really understanding what's going on here.

Members of H.A.M.M.E.R. and the Maggia are minions; Venom, Dr. Doom, and other named characters are \"villains\". Only villains have the ability to move tiles on the board to make matches and hurt your characters with tile damage. In some battles there is one villain and two minions, and if you stun the villain, then only you are moving tiles until the villain wakes up. You get AP by making tile matches. I think villains get AP by making tile matches. But how do minions get AP? In a pure minion battle (i.e. you downed all villains or the team was three minions to start), only you are moving tiles to make matches. Yet the minions continue to accumulate AP and are able to plant their timers on the board. How does this work? To be more specific: suppose I am fighting three minions who all have area-of- effect attacks that require 10 green AP. I want to keep these minions from being able to put their timers onto the board. What can I do? Do the minions get part of every AP I match? Then I could avoid matching any green as much as possible. Can I keep the minions from getting green AP by matching it all myself and clearing the board of green?

I proceeded to activate glyphs when the tower was about 1/3 health. Then one of my teammates said that it was the wrong timing and it should be used when they start trying to take the barracks. We later on won the game but that made me wonder, was my teammate right? **The Tower Argument** The way I see it, the tower gets 100% concentrated attacks from both enemy creeps and heroes and is the last line of defense before the barracks become vulnerable. This means that the glyphs would soak up more concentrated damage in that 5 seconds than the damage on barracks (which may potentially be split on the two barracks if the enemy isn't smart about it). The tower basically has twice the armor than barracks (more than 2x for ranged) and slightly more health, so to me, the better strategy is to preserve the best defense and block concentrated damage. **The Barracks Argument** On the other hand, activating glyphs on the barracks also seems to makes sense because it gives 5 seconds of blocked damage on weaker buildings where it otherwise would have melted in 3 seconds or less. Also the hope that they will attack separate buildings after the tower is gone is not a very good argument. So, which is better? **More Situational Context** : * 3 of us were about 15 seconds or less from respawning, so using glyphs was semi-viable * This would be the first T3 tower/rax take down attempt on our base (other lanes were still up) * Enemy team was 5 man during the take down"} {"_id": "143310", "title": "Call of duty: Black Ops 2, the annoying glitch", "text": "In the game Call of duty: Black Ops 2, I have to change my system date to few months back everytime I run the game.

Meanwhile the AI is also doing a similar thing - capturing flags, upgrading, creating fighters. **The problem:** After a few missions that idiotic AI has changed. So now, instead of capturing flags it first creates a few fighter units and directly sends them to my base. So when the game starts I have barely captured 2 flags when I start having enemy after enemy continuously on my base. And this ruins the fun completely. I can create more fighting units initially but it will just make a slow start not only for me but also for the stupid AI where we both capture flags very slowly to keep fighting. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I don't want to extend the level with a slow start. After a few tries I have started using a trainer.

First my setup: I have both a Tivo Premier and PS3 connected to my Sony LED TV by HDMI. The Sony receiver is connected to the optical out of the TV because it doesn't support HDMI. The Tivo has no issues passing surround sound though the TV to the receiver. I also think that if I play a DVD on the PS3 I get surround sound as well, but don't recall for sure if that's the case. When I play PS3 games I do get surround sound. When I played both my \"Man on Fire\" BR and \"The Social Network\" BR, neither disc would the PS3 pass surround sound to the receiver, just 2.0 Dolby. Looking on the menu of \"Man on Fire\" it only supports TrueHD surround sound from the disc menu.

The first was on the moon, after I had beat Lord Crump on the moon and saved, I realized I could no longer get back to the moon (since the fortress didn't have any power for that), and hence I would be unable to go get the underground star piece I missed out there. But then I found out you can go back to the moon after you beat the Shadow Queen. The second was just last night when I went specifically on a quest for the star pieces - I was in Hooktail castle and realized I couldn't ride the yellow block up to get the star piece anymore because I already destroyed the stone block. But it turns out you can just fall from above to get it. So my question is, what kinds of special collectibles (badges, shine sprites, especially star pieces) cannot be reached after a certain point? I've invested about 60 hours, so it'd be tragic if I can't go back and reach something. I know that in the previous Paper Mario game there was precisely one afterward- unreachable star piece: it's underground right before the Lava Piranha boss (after the volcano erupts, you can't go back to get it, which in turn means you can't get all of Merlow's badges). The fact that boss tattles can be found in professor Frankly's trash can, it doesn't keep track of enemies' first strikes, like the original does in Mario's house, and it seems to cares less about running away since it forces you to do it three times all suggest that TTYD is more forgiving."} {"_id": "182105", "title": "What Melodies can i play to my Mountain?", "text": "I recently purchased The Mountain, one of the most discussed ~~screensaver~~ game in this year.

I've seen both popular and less popular YouTubers start \"Let's Plays\" on Crash Landing, probably because of the similarities it shows to Agrarian Skies (a hugely popular modpack). Crash Landing is a situation where your ship has crash landed on a dust covered planet and you have to battle both dehydration and overheating to survive (among other things). Most people, at the start of a Crash Landing play-through, go outside and build a wall, or dig a moat, to cover their crashed ship. The problem with this method is that working outside rapidly increases your core temperature and dehydration rate. I was wondering if a smarter move would be to start your base underneath your ship, thus avoiding the dangers of outside. Obviously the dust would fall down, but if you build your base under the solid blocks of your ship, it's likely that the dust wouldn't reach you. Also, since you're technically inside, your heat increases at a very slow rate and you dehydration is also slower. At night you might cool off, but then you can build a furnace or torch to keep you warm (which are both easy to acquire). Am I missing something important or is the best survival method by and large just a matter of personal preference? I haven't checked any of the source code so I don't know which factors affect the rate at which your character overheats but, logically, building an underground base in the desert seems like a more logical thing to do than just building a wall open to the desert sun.

The gunblade also has a short cooldown ability that adds more burst for that little extra kick when you need it. The \"Will of the Ancients\" gives me 10 AP more and also adds an Aura so I boost my teammates AP by 30 and give them 20% spell vamp. In addition to that this item costs 1125 gold less to build.

I have a good and young ruler, who has passed on some good genes to his sons. I also had a lot of spare lands, so I could make my heir a duke and doubly count when he came of age. My mistake was to marry him off to some scheming wench. I knew it would end like this, but her stats were just too great to resist! Anyway, a few years down the road, and my trusty spy master lets me know that my beloved son is looking to usurp me. Not cool! I demand that he end the plot, and decide to see how this develops. Shortly thereafter, he suddenly dies (not by my hand \u2014 likely the wife is the culprit). My second eldest son becomes my new heir and favourite, however all the titles are inherited by my clubfooted grand daughter aged two. Curses! Now, what I really wanted, was to imprison and disown my traitorous son followed by swift justice of the axe. Not sure what my other vassals would think of that idea, but I had a just reason for imprisonment at least. Option number two, is to start plotting for my dearly beloved grand daughters untimely demise, but I'm not sure how that would work out either. The situation is this. I'm young (40ish) and well-liked. I have a new heir, but I'd prefer to keep my lands for myself and give him the ones of the previous heir \u2014 one duchy and two counties currently held by my grand daughter. The duchy can be revoked free of charge, as I hold a claim to it. She has no siblings. I am da King. I have limited crown authority, but can bump it up to medium if it suits me. **So my questions to you are as follows:** 1. Is it possible to disown a son, considering I have just cause for imprisonment? An execution would of course settle the deal, but my other vassals would probably find me \"cruel\". 2. Is it possible to plot against a character which is not yet of age? What would happen if she suddenly died with no heir? Would all her titles be returned to the king or duke (i.e. me)? **EPILOGUE** I had savegames before and after, so I decided to test a few things. * I could imprison my quisling of a son. I could also seize all his titles and banish him from my lands, but he would remain an heir, even if he wasn't officially a prince. I guess I could have let him rot in jail, as it seems prisoners often die in custody, but it would be a risky bet. * After the unfortunate death of my old heir, it seems some strange rules apply regarding the remaining titles. The dukal title I could simply revoke for free (although at a opinion penalty from the duchess). Should she die today, one of the counties would be inherited by her younger sister, and the other would be inherited by me. (I found this to be an interesting development: Turns out my new heirs wife suddenly died. Who did he marry, other than the same scheming hag who presumably killed off his brother, and made an attempt at me? By a suspicious coincidence, I died not very long after.

I've read articles in Skyrim wikia and UESP that it is possible for one to side with both Madanach and Thonar to obtain both sets of Armor of the Old Gods and the Silver-Blood Family Ring. To obtain both of the items you have to follow Madanach and kill him before the Dragonborn and Madanach walk out of the Markarth ruins and into Markarth city. I tried to do this but when I killed Madanach, the sub-quest \"follow Madanach\" turned to \"failed\" and instead I have to obtain Madanach's note and read it, although in the end I get both items.

The discs look clean and in good condition (though the CD sleeves are kind of puffy and odd). However, my concern is with the remaining contents of the box, in that there is none. Extraction Point came with a single card with the default controls listed, but neither came with any sort of manual or any other inserts.

Once you get the \"new guy\" perk that allows specializations for new recruits their will can get bumped anywhere from +1 to +10 points (up to 50 is the highest I've seen on a soldier with 0 missions). From there, every rank seems to grant some amount of will points which either differ by soldier or by something else. I'm wondering if some soldiers are just more gifted than others and generally get larger bonuses or if it's something mission specific that determines it.

In short, impunity gives +50% to resistance, while invigorate gives +10% life (+ some regeneration). Many people come to rely on this EHP (Effective Health Pool) calculator to compare the effect of these two runes. According to this calculator, impunity is the clear winner. However, I started doing some calculations myself from the information and links taken from [this question], specifically the Diablo III formula list. Here is the effective health fomula: Effective Health = Health Pool * Total Damage Reduction, i.e. Health * (1 - ((1 - DR from Armor) \u00d7 (1 - DR from Resistance) \u00d7 (1 - other DR))) DR means \"damage reduction\" Let's simplify the formula: A = DR from Armor (for example 75%, but we are not using numbers) R = DR from Resistance (for example 66%, but we are not using numbers) O = DR from Other For the sake of this example, let's say \"DR from Other\" is zero. This means that only health, armor and resistance is being taken into account. So the effective health becomes: x = Effective Health = Health * (1 - ((1 - A) \u00d7 (1 - R))) = Health * (A + R - AR) Also, this is how damage reduction from resistance is calculated: Elemental damage reduction = Resistance / (5 \u00d7 Monster Level + Resistance) Due to the hyperbolic shape of the resistance formula, +50% in the Resistance when converted to damage reduction doesn't increase as the resistance goes up, but actually the increase in damage reduction decreases. For example with monster level 63 (taken from this answer): Resistance = 600 --> Reduction = 65.6% + 50% = 900 --> Reduction = 74.1% (which is 65.6% + 8.5%) Resistance = 1200 --> Reduction = 79.2% + 50% = 1800 --> Reduction = 85.1% (which is 79.2% + 5.9% (less increase)) This means that while invigorate adds 10% to health, impunity adds a smaller value to the damage reduction. This means that in the formula for effective health, invigorate replaces `Health` by `1.1 * Health` while impunity replaces `R` by `(R + y)` where `y` is the increase in damage reduction (in the two examples above, `8.5%` `5.9%` respectively). 1. Adding 10% to Health: Invigorate Health = (1.1 * Health) * (A + R - AR) = 1.1 * (Health * (A + R - AR)) = 110% x which means 10% increase in health is equal to 10% increase in effective health. 2. Adding `y` to the value of reduction from resistance: Impunity Health = Health * (1 - (1 - A) \u00d7 (1 - (R + y))) = Health * (1 - (1 - A) * (1 - R - y)) = Health * (1 - (1 - R - y - A + AR + yA)) = Health * (A + R - AR + y (1 - A)) = x + y * Health * (1 - A) So with invigorate, you get `10% * x` bonus, while with impunity you get `y * Health * (1 - A)`. To get an idea which one is better, let's put numbers from my build in to see which is worth what. My base life is 50k. Resistances are at 56% reduction. Armor is at 78% reduction. 50% increase in my resistance gives about 65% reduction. This means `y` is 9%. Bonus from invigorate: 10% x = 10% * Health * (A + R - AR) = 0.1 * 50k * (0.75 + 0.56 - 0.75 * 0.56) = 0.089 * 50k Bonus from impunity: y * Health * (1 - A) = 0.09 * 50k * (1 - 0.75) = 0.0225 * 50k As you can see, the bonus from impunity is about one fourth of that of invigorate. **My question** is then, in what way is impunity superior to invigorate? How does the other calculator calculate effective health that the numbers are different?"} {"_id": "25664", "title": "How do I reverse the activation of Pistons with redstone automatically?", "text": "So basically, I want to make a hidden Piston door using Redstone that opens and shuts when I pull a lever. As you can see, the door consists out of 14 sticky Pistons in total : 2 for the stairs, 4 in the middle to pull back and push out the stone in/outwards, and 4 on each side to pull back and push out the pistons with the stone. I'm going to call them S(Stairs), M(Middle), L(Left) and R(Right). I have ways and means to power each of those groups individually and with repeaters I can change when they activate. For opening and closing the door, I'm using levers on both sides of the door combined with and XOR gate underground, so that the door will close/open no matter what lever I use or in what state the other lever is. The basic order here is: When the door opens, M pulls the stone blocks back, after that L and R pull these pistons with the stone in the wall. When it closes, the order is reversed: L and R push M out, M then pushes the stone blocks. S here doesnt matter, since it doesn't interfere with the others. **The problem here is : How do I REVERSE the order of activation for the components L, R and M for when it closes and shuts? So Opening : M, L+R | Closing : L+R, M** Or: Do you know a different way to make this work? Because of the way the door works, simply executing the same order will break the door : M won't retract at the right time and will simply stay in the 'closed' position and will retract and extend, but not be moved by L and R.

But none explain how to build one. I'm currently trying to create one and share it with you once done but I'm stuck. **What I mean by tree milling** I mean a mechanism that when a tree grown it will automatically detect the event and push the trunk wook blocks in a horizontal row to make it easier to recover. **Wish** If you wish I'll post few pictures of my current solution but it is very complex right now (uses more than 8 pistons, block detectors, redstone stairs up and down, monostable circuits and stuff). **My current \"solution\"** (Notice with up and down I mean vertically speaking) I builded a circular sand mover which basically push a pile of sand up, then right, then down and then on the left. On the way down (which should in the stable position be empty), there are only empty blocks reserved for the tree truck that is going to grow up. (It's a little bit more than 7 blocks height because I'm referencing Birch Trees as tree type). My idea (not really mine) is to push the sand down and push the trunk block as well. Make the trunk go all around until it goes up. Then when it is on the way to go from the upper level to the right (from which should go down again) I created a gap. Sand blocks will normally fall down and then be pushed again. Tree block will float; then a piston will detect the floating blocks and push them in a row. I don't like to synchronize circuits and pistons, so the right and the down piston works naturally when they detect a block to be pushed. The lower pistons (the one that push on the left and the one that push up) are activated once (to start the circular movement) whenever the tree has grown and detected. **Question** The problem is that this method works only when there are as many tree trunk blocks as the empty spaces reserved for the trunk. If a tree doesn't grow a 7-blocks trunk (the maximum) and let's say grow a 5-blocks trunk, there will be 2 wood block still in the circular sand ring. How do I solve this?

Therefore I was wondering if it was worth doing an AD/AP hybrid build on him. He already gets tons of health from feast so is naturally fairly tanky and hard to kill.

The first issue was apparently resolved by Naughty Dog without the need of a patch, and the second was \"fixed\" by deleting the 1.01 patch and re-installing it.

Considering the fact, that it is currently summer in the Northern Hemisphere and ambient temperature inside and outside my home is ~30\u00b0 Celsius, and that my PS3's fan become _extremely_ noisy after 5 minutes after launching _The Last of Us_ , I assume that temperature _may_ be a problematic factor while gaming.

Our next goal is to store different kinds of variables in it and to process them differently. We are not engineers, so we don't really know nothing, but we have made already some quite complex things and we think we can do this. The problem is that we can't figure out how to store variables that of more bits that can be stored in a single cell. I'll give an example. Think of a 16 bit variable. We thought that there's no sense in creating so big cells so we decided to store that data storing 4 bits in each cell. But that's not enough, we had to relate that 4 cells. So we thought that we had to create 8 bit cells, with 4 bits of content and 4 bits to store the address where the next 4 bits of the variable are stored. However, 4 bits of address is nothing for a RAM memory, we can't store anything there. So we would need at least 8 bits for the address. 4 bits of content also seems quite low, and we also need at least other 4 bits to store the type of the variable. Well, finally we thought that that technique was absurd and that it couldn't be done like that in real life. And we don't know how to do it now. I've searched on the web about how the RAM memory works and the few that I've find was too complex for our needs.

We were both in high silver. When I play against a Zerg, I go FFE almost every single time, and it tends to work out pretty good. The downside to a FFE build is that it does not allow me to put up much pressure, at least early on, so the Zerg has free picks at the map for quite a while. That is what happened that game. Normally, if I see someone grabbing a third quickly, I roll in and take it out because their army usually is not very strong. The thing is, this Zerg made almost entirely Roaches (sprinkled in some Zerglings) and set up many many Spine Crawlers (like 6 - 10 per expo). When I realized the severity of the situation -- it was 1 expansion vs 4 -- I tried to roll in with a pretty good army to the expansion closest to me, but farthest away from him. I had some Immortals for the Roaches, I had some Zealots for meat shields, and I even had some Archons for support fire. I figured it would be enough to snipe an expansion and the Zerg would rethink his/her intent, but my Zealots were thinned out by the Spines in a couple seconds, and the Immortals + Archons fell to the Roaches really quick without having any Zealots tanking damage. The game kept getting worse and worse because I could not penetrate at all into the Zerg. I got Psi Storm, but that did not help as much as I would have liked to against the Roaches. I suppose a good response would have been Void Rays, because the Zerg opponent had literally no anti-air besides a couple Spore Crawlers (here and there) and queens. I was reluctant to switch to air because I invested so much into the templars. Eventually, I knew I was way too behind to make a comeback so I just left. Has anybody experienced a Zerg play like that? It is really a pretty darn scary and overwhelming style that can be very hard to stop. Can anybody give me some advice on how to deal with a situation like this?

I can cast 1 meteor every second, each dealing 200 damage. I have a total damage output of 200dps for a cost of 60 arcane power per second. * Scenario 2: I equip a dagger with 50 damage and 2 attacks per second. I can cast 2 meteors every second, each dealing 100 damage. I have a total damage output of 200dps, but now at the cost of 120 arcane power per second. My question is: is arcane power adjusted on the weapon speed? And side question: for channeling spells, will the damage output also be the same?

It doesn't behave as described in the wiki, and I'm not sure if the wiki description is wrong, or if I built something wrong - or maybe the Beta release changed something. The wiki says that the type-A flip-flop is _edge-triggered_ , and will change its output when the Clock goes from 0 to 1, _or_ 1 to 0. For a Clock, I'm using a Switch on the side of a block (with three Redstone wires between it and the circuit, rather than the one wire in the diagram - for some reason, it breaks with only _one_ wire between two blocks.) When I flip the switch down, it transitions from 0 to 1 (unpowered to powered wire), which causes the Output to change, as expected. But when I flip the switch back up (transition from 1 to 0), I get no Output change (for any combination of J and K). Just for fun, I hooked up a 5-Clock as input, in case there was something strange about switches on blocks. But again, the Output only changed when the wire from the Clock went from unpowered to powered, and _not_ the other way. So is that how a JK flip-flop really works?

I have a dlna server set up in our house, and two days ago, while watching a movie through our dlna server to her xbox, the video simply froze. The audio continued to work, and we could hear our controller input working (pressing the jewel resulted in the proper noise, etc.). Let me be clear, the video froze, it did not go black. We just figured part of the xbox software froze, restarted the xbox, and it worked fine. The next day, same issue happened while watching something over dlna, however, this time, restarting the xbox did not work. Now, when I boot the xbox, the video freezes after a few seconds of the startup splash screen. It goes through all the audio/music of the boot up process, however, the controller is unresponsive (pressing buttons/joysticks does not result in any audio). I've done a few troubleshooting steps: 1. Unplugged everything from the xbox (including usb wireless, a usb stick, hard drive, power, and video), and replugged in only the power and video cable. 2. Started the xbox from a wired controller, while holding the Y and Right Trigger buttons, which some forum posts suggested would reset the video settings. 3. Used the same power and av cables with our other xbox on the same tv to see if it were an issue with the cables. 4. Attempted to boot up an xbox 360 update as described on the xbox.com update page 5. Opened the xbox, and used canned air to clear out any dust from the inputs, heat sinks, and components. I also checked all the capacitors for any bulking or leaks, and everything looks fine. 6. Used the same tv and cables with a second xbox 360, and everything works correctly. None of these have resolved our issue. Coming from a software developer background, this doesn't really look like hardware failure, only because it is both displaying some video and audio, and I'm more thinking it's some sort of software problem that we triggered. For some background, we've been using my dlna server for about 6 months now, and had no problem until now, so I'm not 100% sure the streaming caused the bug, it's just what we have been using that xbox for recently, so it's just happenstance. We've used the other xbox for streaming, too, and haven't had any issues. This is also a first generation xbox 360 (from 2006), so it does not support HDMI, and it is indeed old. Has anyone else encountered this video freeze and unresponsive controls on startup, or while using the system video player?

Is there a list of the lifesteal modifier for each difficulty (I already found that it is 70% for Nightmare, 40% for Hell, and 20% for Inferno, but I'm still wondering where this information comes from)?

The details: I am playing a normal single player game (so no other players are creating portals in the world), my only mod being a texture pack. I created a nether portal a little while back (just a few weeks, no new releases since then that I know of) and used it to go gather some nether quartz and some other stuff.

I went quite deep into the nether before I found one, and I proceded to grab all the loot I could carry and then run on home.

Does anyone know why this might have happened? I have read that the first time you use a portal the exit portal might be forced to move out of a big chunk of solid matter and therefore get pushed \"out of range\" from your overworld portal, and so spawning a new overworld portal when used.

I have one option, try reseating the CPU as suggested - but that's not really practical for me just yet (Will do it within the next few weeks probably). If I get it working short of the game patching and fixing it then I'll be sure to answer this with what I did. Until then I guess time will tell. Anyway, ty to those who have commented to help! **End Edit** **PC Specs (General)** Core i7 950 @ 3Ghz 24GB DDR3 Ram nVidia GTX 580 Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) **DXDIAG:** http://pastebin.com/R3cL7W6H **Updated** _for clarity and to keep it briefer and more to the point. I seemed to get a lot of the same responses (Try it on low), so I figured I probably wrote this up in a way that was unclear. Sorry about that_ To state upfront, because I know Ubisoft installs it to a different place and has had it's own issues, I bought the game off steam (though as expected it still goes through uplay to play). Basically my computer will -completely- lock up at seemingly random times while playing. I have tried playing it right after a reboot, making sure everything except essentials were off (including AV / Firewall), but it still persists. Nothing will respond, and I have to hard-reboot the computer (Power button / Power cord) in order to get out of it. It's crashed in the main menu, crashed in game, crashed loading a game, crashed in the settings menu, before even getting to the main menu after first starting it up, etc... It seriously seems to be random. One time I played for a good 30 - 40 minutes, today I fire it up for the first time and it crashes before I even get to the main menu. I have looked for **What I have tried, in a list** * I have tried the game at low (Everything down as far as I could, at a windowed res of 1440x900) * I have tried re-installing the game * I have tried rebooting, shutting everything unneeded down, etc. Including AV/Firewall (For which I use avast / comodo if it matters) * Updating my graphics drivers (was actually the first thing I did.) I am currently on 337.88) * Tried a settings \"optimization\" tool some one posted up on the ubisoft forums that had some presets. * It crashed just the same then as it did at the default settings it shipped with. **Where it crashes** So far, it has done this lockup (And again, they are all seemingly random): - In the menu screen - Before the main menu screen - On the main menu/settings windows - Loading the game - In the game, random times **So far I have looked for (And found none) of the following:** * Error logs (either in the steam folder for the game, ubisoft folder for the game, appdata, my games/documents/etc) * Event viewer data * Crash dumps, anywhere. Also looked for windows crash dumps. * Driver errors * etc * Basically, I find absolutely nothing to tell me what's wrong **Has it happened before?** It has done this _once_ before in Saints Row 3 a few months back. I had Saints Row 3 running with Diablo 3 in the background. I was never able to reproduce it. I have played Skyrim heavily modded with ENB and all that, high settings (as far as I could push the system anyway). I have played: thousands of hours of diablo, also WoW, over 900 hours of SR3 and 4, over a thousand in skyrim. This has only happened once before, and only something I can recreate on this game (albeit random). Again, any help is appreciated! Anyway, as I said, edited to make it a bit less long winded and hopefully a lot more clear! Thanks to those have replied in comments already! **Updated Information** One of the times the game crashed, I had Speccy going. **GPU temp when game crashed, CPU temp in general** : 61c. After running a benchmarking tool called y-cruncher which multithreaded calculating 1.5b units of pie and is keeping the CPU at 100% usage and using up about 13GB of ram (and climbing), the CPU stayed steady at 68/69c with my room temp 10f above normal. Once I turned on my AC, which is on 95% of the time, it's started to work it's way back down (64c and dropping). Benchmarking tool is 72% done and has been going for about 15 minutes now no issues. **BIOS update** Flashed my BIOS to the latest. Had no effect at all. I started the game and left it on the main menu to get dinner, which was about five minutes, came back and my system was locked up again. Had speccy running on the other monitor. Don't remember exact numbers, but CPU was in the low 50s or so, GPU was in the low 60s). MB temp was in the low/mid 30s. So those were all fine. RAM and VRAM usage wasn't an issue, it wasn't using a whole lot in the menu (And honestly I've had other apps using much, much more than this has as far as ram goes) **General update** The more and more I think about it, the more and more I'm seriously starting to think it's just a game bug, or at worst an OS bug conflicting with the game and I need to reformat (which I'm doing in about a week anyway). I was worried about hardware at first but after all the stuff I've tried and been unable to reproduce it in anything except this game, I'm starting to think different. One comment suggested I run a mem test as it could be hitting an unused segment of ram, or maybe a bad stick. While at first I thought \"Yeah that could be\" - the fact that I have yet to have that happen after using a lot of other very memory intensive programs (I've filled it up 90% or more), I'm starting to think otherwise. Plus, if the game is using THAT much ram in the menu when the recommended is 8GB, then something is still wrong with that game. I'm thinking I might honestly wait for the patch, but I do welcome and other suggestions you all might think of. Thanks again!"} {"_id": "170710", "title": "Battlefield 3 all stats lost", "text": "today I launched Battlelog to set up and play multiplayer, and when going to the loadout screen everything was locked with no progress. when I went back to the main screen, all the stats were reset. is this permanent or will it come back later? note that I'm not premium and thus don't have access to the reset stats feature so I couldn't have done it on accident that way. edit: the activity feed still shows things being unlocked, it's just not in the load out screen anymore edit2: now it displays the stats intermittently, but in the game it starts over so I'm not really making progress."} {"_id": "170711", "title": "KSP - Welded parts not appearing", "text": "I am trying to weld parts together in KSP with the UbioWelding plugin.

To me it seems obvious that she should be in her resto spec. when healing, and only be in enhancement when tanking or doing DPS. It also seems obvious that she should use a shield any time she's tanking (unless she has a really good item for her offhand that somehow beats out the damage mitigation from all that extra armor). Now she's asking about how that relates to her dodge/parry talents. (Does the average frequency of dodging/parrying mitigate as much or more damage than the extra armor from a shield? Does the second weapon improve or affect dodge/parry at all? Does a shield offer benefits to dodge/parry? (Is that what the \"blocking\" factor is)? I suggested she just go solo a few mobs that are about 3 levels higher than her ... say 10 with the shield and 10 with dual weapons. Then review her combat log and figure out the benefits from that.

This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pok\u00e9mon;\" So those are the questions: 1. One kind of Pokemon (Example Charmander) can have 2 colors ? **eg: Charmander is red (normal) and his shiny is yellow can another shiny Charmander be black ?** 2. Can a shiny Charmander (yellow) become a black Charmeleon ? EDIT: As said in bulbapedia... \"Shiny Pok\u00e9mon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pok\u00e9mon, such as Glaceon or Pichu, having their Shiny form be only a few shades lighter or darker in color, although a majority of the Pok\u00e9mon that exhibit this are not in their final form of evolution. However, many Pok\u00e9mon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations; even extremely common Pok\u00e9mon like Caterpie show a dramatic difference.\" So my question (as I said) is about this: \"many Pok\u00e9mon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations\". Pokemons **CAN** be shiny even without change they color like Spiky-eared-Pichu. What I have found about this was: 1. The shiny Charmander in Pokemon wiki is Yellow, while the Charizard is Black. 2. In the Anime there is a Yellow Magikarp, and a Red Gyarados, the yellow Magikarp appears only in the anime, and it's not a good base of information for the game, but at least give us some extra reference.

I cannot play Civilization V over the internet with any of my friends.

According to her, on her side it says that I disconnected at that same moment. At this point, we try re-inviting each other to that same game (via steam). The person who was invited gets a message saying (error joining multiplayer). This happens no matter who is hosting the game. I was successfully able to play several games in the public lobby with no problems at all. So, we tried both joining a public multiplayer game that someone else was hosting in the lobby. We were successfully able to join the game in the lobby, but just like before, everyone in the game disconnected one by one--as if us trying to play together was some kind of infectious plague. Afterwards my girlfriend gave up, and I just ended up going forward with that game without her. It worked just fine at that point--I was able to enter the game with them. At this point, it seems like there may be something wrong on my girlfriend's side. We tried putting down her firewall, turning off her VPN, and shutting down her Minecraft server, but nothing helped. We have tried this at least 100 times, allocating about 30 minutes of monotonously and painstakingly trying over and over again before we give up. Finally, today we tried playing a three player game with a third friend of mine. The exact same thing happened. No matter which one of us hosted the game, we all get disconnected after about 30 seconds of accepting the invitation. Still suspecting that it might be a problem with my girlfriend's computer, me and my friend tried doing just a two player game without my girlfriend.

Specifically: * When should I reincarnate story characters, such as Mao or Almaz? * When should I reincarnate monsters/human class characters? * Should I bother reincarnating human classes into stronger versions of themselves instead of into new and exciting classes I manage to unlock? For example, should I bother turning my fighter into a warrior, when I can turn him into, say, a ninja? I hope I am not being too vague, but I'm assuming some Disgaea 3 familiarity here as I am looking for more than a link to a guide. I am looking for personal insights and a good summary of the different considerations."} {"_id": "12410", "title": "Does NFS:Hot Pursuit Autolog need Xbox Live Gold?", "text": "Is Xbox Live Gold required to use the Autolog features?"} {"_id": "12415", "title": "How to defend against 6pool?", "text": "I am specifically interested in countering 6pool early rush as Protoss but you can include other races too."} {"_id": "50830", "title": "Do your Pokemon gain experience when you catch Pokemon?", "text": "If I am trying to level a Pokemon (Munna, for example), so I wander around and battle lots of wild Pokemon, and then I decide to catch one of these wild Pokemon (because I don't have it yet), will my Munna (or whoever I was using during that battle) still get experience points (EXP) for that battle?

Anyone have a suggestion for a solution? **Update** I figured out that it is indeed the layout, and a bug in Starcraft 2. It seems that while Starcraft 2 handles alternate keyboards surprisingly well, it falls short. I found that Starcraft will consider it a duplicate when a dvorak key and its corresponding qwerty key are assigned. That's confusing... For example, I assign `/` using my dvorak keyboard (that's the `[` key to you qwerty folks). Now I mysteriously cannot assign `z` (that's `/` in qwerty). There is no logical reason these should be considered duplicates; they are two physically different keys, so it seems that Starcraft 2 still uses the qwerty layout for some of its checking.

I have been going out of my way to find things that unlock more of the tattoo. So more specifically, **what in game actions unlock parts of your tattoo?** For example: collecting relics, completeing sidequests, completing trials of the rakyat, etc. Another thing I noticed was that relics unlock a different part of your tattoo then skills. _Extra credit_ if you know what unlocks each part. * * * **Update #1** I've also realized that the main quest line also adds to the entirety of the \"tatau\".

I believe that as you collect a set number of the 4 different types of relics it adds to that part of your \"Tatau.\" For example say for the first Heron Relic you find it adds a small Heron to your \"Tatau\", and same goes for each type. Then say you get 10 of a Heron Relic it adds even more Heron filler, and so on and so forth (pretty cool aye?). Something else I've noticed in the amazing adventures of this game. **Spider Relics:** Require you to do some sort of climbing through sometimes extensive caverns, or across deep ravines. Accomplishing some feat requiring the abilities of a Spider, to get to my point. **Heron Relics:** Tend to be on top high mountains or hilltop, I've even had to use a hang glider to fly onto a clifftop to aqcuire one. Requiring the abilities of a Heron, see the trend yet? **Shark Relics:** Can be found usually underwater, or in a cavern underwater.

This of course results in a _lot_ of abuse of the keys I have bound to \"Fire all weapons\". It gets especially annoying sometimes when I'm trying to fire while turning and accelerating/decelerating and/or doing other keyboard-based operations at the same time. It's even worse when the combination of commands I'm issuing intersects (accidentally or intentionally) with OS-level keyboard shortcuts. For example, the default key binding for \"Fire All Weapons\" is `Alt`+`Space` and the default binding for \"Throttle Up\" is `Q`. Often times, in the heat of battle, I'll have `Alt` held down so that all I have to do to trigger my weapons is hit `Space`. Then, when I rush to hit the throttle for some maneuver I'll accidentally end up hitting `Tab`. Of course, what does `Alt`+`Tab` mean to Windows? It means the game gets dropped while I'm switched to another window or the Desktop. So, to avoid this sort of complication, I'd like a way to easily toggle my weapons to auto-fire whenever they're in range. This would help greatly simplify the task of battle while also making it easier to _not_ accidentally hit some OS shortcut in the midst of it.

Or does _Electrical Burn_ only work with shock/electrocute damage from guns? Skill effect descriptions from Borderlands wikia: ### Electrical Burn When your Electrocute Status Effects deal damage to enemies, there is a chance they will burst into flames and take Burn Damage. The amount of Burn Damage is based on the Electrocute damage dealt. ### Shock Storm Killing an enemy with a Critical Hit causes an Electric Storm, dealing Electrocute Damage to nearby enemies. Electrical Storms are also caused by Deathtrap whenever he kills an enemy. ### Shock and \"AAAGGGGHHH!\" Reloading your gun causes an Electrical Explosion, damaging nearby enemies. ### One Two Boom Deathtrap Ability. Deathtrap shoots out an orb of energy at an enemy. If you shoot the orb it will explode, dealing massive Shock Damage to nearby enemies. ### Make it Sparkle Shooting Deathtrap with an elemental weapon charges him with that element, causing his melee attacks to deal additional damage of that element. * * * EDIT: There is now an answer that explains how this works generally.

I ran into a situation once when my game stagnated and I couldn't continue with the story line (I probably did something bad with one of the few servo motors in the game). As a result I was wandering around for an extended period of time revisiting every place I could to try and move the story forward. I began to notice that ammunition for all my weapons was running out at many of the shops, and enemies seemed to be dropping it less frequently, as if there was a limited supply of it. Does anyone know if _all_ items could be limited to an absolute number per game? Have you experienced the same thing, or perhaps managed to get a peek at the source code or have some other inside information about the availability of items in the game?"} {"_id": "183520", "title": "Can't change location to my country on newly purchased Xbox One", "text": "I just purchased a new Xbox One at Gamestop in Norway, where the Xbox One just recently released.

Here is an example team composition: **AP Bottom: Cassiopeia, Swain, or Morgana.** Picking an AP champ that can push and farm with some ease. It would be very important for this champ to run **flat armor yellows** and maybe even an armor quint. The idea would be to push the lane and try to force the enemy AD to lose cs by farming at tower. **Bottom Support: Soraka.** Soraka would allow the AP champ to spam their spells even when they don't have blue. It would also allow for the lane to have a lot of sustain and be relatively safe. * _AD Carry Mid: Tristana or Graves. *_ Picking someone with some form of escape is important here. The rune page should have flat magic resist blues to help with trading damage. Having someone like Tristana who has a lot of range should be able to easily force the enemy champ out of lane. I think there would be an advantage when trading damage because the enemy champion will be running the wrong runes (Magic resistance vs Attack damage and Armor vs Magic damage). This could potentially turn into getting an early lane advantage. If you are on purple side your AP champ in bot lane could still get blue and be able to push and farm well.

His laptop has Intel HD Graphics and I'm really wondering how my PC is performing lower even having a dedicated GPU and much better CPU.

I am able to get around 50% of the armor down and then both my squad mates die. I had no med gel to start with, so that is another problem. Once the squad mates die, it gets harder to take the barrier down as well. What I have done so far is to run around the platform and then take a few shots. A good shield would have been helpful. I think the soldier option was not very smart. Without a good shield, collector ship is going to be a problem as well. Edit: I finished Horizon. Same strategy. Needed to run around the platform. Cannot expect much from the squad. I had Garrus and Mordin as squad mates. Mordin was useful to bring the armor down with incineration as long he was alive. Around 75% armor both of them died. I used rifle and heavy reave until the armor was close to 25% and then used the collector particle beam to take out the rest. Died way too many times. Key is to run from cover to cover and never get caught on the inside. Don't wait for the praetorian to get too close or you will take heavy damage if you don't have a good shield. Edit 2: On the collector ship now. Completed 4 loyalty missions without any problem (Miranda, Jacob, Mordin and Grunt in that order). The ambush part doesn't look good at all. Died a few times already. May be I will try next weekend. Edit 3: After 2 hours of trying I gave up on the collector ship as soldier. I also kept seeing the message \"Sentinels are nearly indestructible. Tech armor gives additional layer of protection...\". So I started a sentinel career on insanity difficulty. So far it has been good. I completed the horizon fairly easily as well because I could restore my shields often. Hopefully that will help on collector ship. Edit 4: I have completed the collector ship with Miranda and Jack. Grunt kept dying. Tech armor helped a lot. Edit 5: I have completed the game on insanity. Completing all loyalty missions helped with the upgrades necessary for the final battle. It wasn't hard with all that heavy damages. Took grunt and legion along at collector base because they have shields. Too many harbingers while fighting the reaper though. Used legions combat drones to distract the harbinger.

That's a problem for me, because I _hate_ PvP.

If I absolutely have to enter such an area, I want there to be a way for me to quickly get out. I understand that I can't turn off PvP entirely, and I realize I won't be able to see _everything_ without venturing into those areas - indeed, I've read that the best money making potential is in nullsec, so clearly there's an incentive to accept that risk. However, I don't want to be left horribly behind simply because I choose to avoid that content. It's okay that things go a little slower, but there is a limit - e.g., if I can earn some amount in 1 hour in PvP areas, I don't want it to take 3 days when sticking to a PvE approach. Alternatively, I can accept having to go into those areas if it's realistic that I can get in there, do what I need to do, and get back out, all while avoiding PvP - I don't want to spend forever finding a sufficiently safe area, and if I do see trouble approaching, I want to be able to get out before it's too late. Is it even possible to pull this off? Do I need to do anything special to make it feasible? Is the game still enjoyable when played in such a way? EDIT: Just to clarify: I'm not asking for 100% security. If the game is as PvP-heavy as my impression suggests, I am perfectly willing to accept that there will always be _some_ degree of risk.

Personally, I have found it to be extremely frustrating, and there are times when I screamed at my monitor because of how insane the AI is. For example: a) On turn 11, I meet the Iroquois who greeted me with: \"Peace be with you...\" 5 turns later an Iroquois army emerges out of the bushes and surrounds my capital and **KILLS** me in 3 turns! b) I discover that Suleiman has founded a city right next to my capital! I quickly purchase a tile that contains one of my starting luxury resources. He is obviously upset and even after apologizing he declares war against me! And overruns me with Janissaries! c) In another game, I befriended Pachacuti who emerged as the strongest player in the game (luckily for me). After many turns he says: \"I have had enough of you...\" and **DENOUNCES** me! He then sends a great artist to one of my cities and **STEALS** my coal and iron! d) I hate Montezuma. In one game that I played, he founded a trail of 12 ( **TWELVE!!!** ) cities, 2 tiles apart from one another, all the way to my capital and then overran me! His empire was akin to a phallus that was being driven into my capital. e) In a game that I was playing, Washington's empire was so vast and his army so huge that his units began spawning in unclaimed tiles in my territory because his army already occupied every tile in his own lands (I knew this because I sent a caravel there and was disgusted by what I saw)! After two mobile SAMs and a giant deathrobot had spawned in those tiles he **ATTACKED ME**! f) **BUT THE WORST** , the very worst thing about the deity AI is their greediness. Given the chance, they will STEAL the land closest to you. It is not uncommon, in a late game, to find that several of your cities are completely enveloped by their borders. And if you dare buy the land near them they will **KILL** you! So my question is: how do you stop the AI from aggressively expanding towards you so that you can peacefully grow your cities? And also, why does the AI insist on building their cities two tiles apart from one another? Granted, it makes it more difficult to capture these cities but it also means that these cities need to share many tiles with adjacent cities, stunting their growth and greatly reducing their productive output. I have tried rushing the AI but when I arrive at one of their weakest cities they immediately buy walls, a castle and a catapult to defend it making it impossible to capture with my modest-sized army. **Update:** I can't very well mark my own answer as correct since that would be conceited!

Basically it's candies that explode if not cleared in a number of turns. When a candy explodes the game ends immediately. Now, level 97 has a really small bomb- shaped field where bombs drop as you destroy them; you only have 25 moves and you must reach 100,000 points. Spoiler alert: that's a _whole lot_ of points. Destroying a bomb is only 3k. A perfect run would destroy two candies every other turn for a total of 72k, with 28k more points to be scored from combinations. That is... really hard to do though.

However now it seems my team is suffering much more losses than before. We analyzed our games and found out that if we do not win in the early game, we loose almost always. The thing is, that we seem to build tier 1 and 2 units only and forget to upgrade. We have good micro and a decent macro, but marines/roaches/stalkers are too weak against tanks/collosi/mutas - what i mean is that we simply have difficulties recognizing the right time to tech up and so we get nailed by better units although our army is bigger, we expand and can micromanage quite well. **So my question is - how to recognize when it is time to tech up and how to do it most effectively from the standard builds?** Perhaps the most crucial part of the question is WHEN to do it, since doing it too soon results in being overwhelmed by enemy t1 army and doing it too late results in being overwhelmed by enemy teched up army :) This question is mainly focused on 3v3 and 4v4 but it might fit for 1v1 too, although i do believe there will be differences - perhaps we shouldn't all do the same and instead let one of our teammates tech up while others fight off the enemy? And yes, we do scout our enemy, but since we play higher leagues, most of the time there are no \"turtles\" - fighting occurs the whole game.

My version doesn't have an option to select game language other than Russian. Russian version has awful localization, many mistranslated technicalities and poorer game UI fonts than its English counterpart. Titan's on-board AI voice is pretty lame. The campaign briefing lines are cut off to fit the English files' length. Voice actors took liberty to change a few things to their liking. Audio effects like reverberation, echo and such are distinctively more basic. Overall audio quality is much lower, which greatly hinders immersion. When I was playing open beta, it was all in English and considerably better. The game also doesn't support Russian characters so everyone is using transliteration in chat. Switching Origin UI language to English didn't change the game's language. It's still all Russian. How do I change Titanfall UI and audio to English? * * * Also: the support person didn't explicitly say tampering with localization files was against any rules or policy, so this may or may not be okay to do.

It's just the rights to access them depend on version. * * * Note: it's important that the solution does not break any rules and is not outright illegal.

An example is a young keeper, 20 years old and currently graded with 2.5 stars and a book price of \u00a33m. My scouts reckon a bid in excess of \u00a310m may be required. Fair enough - If he develops reasonably well, he'll be worth that later. So I start lower, perhaps \u00a35m... No. An increased bid of \u00a38m? No. Now for the kill... \u00a312m + a %age of the sell-on fee? No, but they are willing to negotiate. They want \u00a334m... for a guy supposed currently worth \u00a33m (hence the Andy Carroll/Liverpool reference!) This is just one example - there are numerous others...

Terran was fine if you had enough Marines, Vikings or Yamato power, Protoss is fine if you have pretty much any unit that can hit air that's not heavy (ie Carriers). Hydralisks get wasted, you can't just hope to overpower them before they defeat you with Ultralisks because VRs slay them, can't use Neural Parasite because there're too many of them, Corruptors are plain useless, Mutas are too weak and have too little range which means you lose 20% of them just to get in range. Am I missing something? A strategy along the lines of killing them before they get VRs or restricting their gas/teching isn't really viable in 3v3 unless your entire team is aggressive from the beginning - in which case you normally win anyway.

I'm having issues finding the right spots for all the creep camps. Blue doesn't make too much difference, because with a leash they're moving anyway so they can be aligned however you like. Wolves I've been hit or miss on, but they're also not too much of an issue because they're all melee, so after the first axe, they're easy to hit. It is the wraiths and red buff camp that I am in the dark on. I find myself running around a lot to hit the wraiths with my axes, and the red camp, since 2 of them don't move, I wind up only hitting 2/3 at a time, and that's causing my jungle time to be significantly slowed. I've watched TheOddOne's videos on YouTube, but I can't seem to get the same position that he has in the video where he hits all 3 of the red buff camp, nor at the wraith camp. Are there any good quality images of where I should be standing, and where my cursor should be, to utilize my axe throw to the greatest potential in the jungle as Olaf, specifically on red buff and wraith camps?

I believe that is the actual text from the game, as well. I'm just confused by what this actually means in gameplay. For instance, what happens if enemies are in the Darkness trap, but the Huntress is also there? Will they ignore her and just run straight past her? What happens if the radius of the Darkness Trap overlaps with a crystal? Will enemies attacking the crystal stop and just sit around doing nothing? How about if Squire or Apprentice wall is blocking the enemies from making forward progress. Will they just stand and wait until Darkness ends, then resume attacking? Will they try to find another path (or something else to destroy)? Finally, does the Darkness trap affect ENEMIES, or does it affect the allied structures/units inside the Darkness trap? For example, if I manually set off a Darkness trap I am standing in, will enemies outside the trap still see me and approach or attack me? If they enter the trap, will they 'lose me' and stop attacking? Or, if I am in the trap, will they simply not see me in the first place?

I can play most heroes ok, though I almost never play hard-carries (except Sniper) as I am unable to farm gold fast enough to be effective and tend to die a few times in the beginning. So I usually play a support role, I love Windranger, Keeper of the Light and Earthshaker. I think one of my strengths as a player is how I use Force Staff. In most games I see my play drastically improve when I get it and I'm usually able to both save myself and my carries from bad situations with it. However I do tend do die too much and have problems especially against very aggressive heroes and physical carries. I also have a hard time deciding what to do when nothing is really going on. As a support I do not want to be ganked and its hard jungling so in games where the enemy is mostly farming I tend to lag behind on gold. I think my biggest problems are: not being effective when nothing is going on. Unable to farm gold fast enough. Dying too much early game (maybe I want to harass too much) and not contributing enough to team fights in which the enemy team uses scary heroes (physical carries, Silencer, Doom).

This is my setup: * Graphics card: EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 570 HD (Running dual monitors) * Memory: 8GB GSKILL Ripjaws X Series * CPU: i5 2500k OC'd to 4.5 * MOBO: ASRock P67 EXTREME4 The game crashes **only** under 3 separate circumstances: 1. When I finish a match in multiplayer 2. When I finish a mission in single player 3. When I get on an AC-130 (be it single player or multiplayer) And I'm running it in max settings. The really annoying thing that makes it hard to test is that it doesn't happen every time (AC130 does, but unfortunately I don't get it every time). And by crash I mean fully crash, it doesn't send me to the desktop, both screens go blank and I have to turn off and back on the computer. Any suggestion is extremely welcome, even if it's just a way to reproduce the problem every time would help me a lot for testing purposes. Thanks! EDIT: I started a bounty. More details about the crash: * It usually happens on explosions (cars, concussive, AC130 big gun) but it's not limited to that, sometimes it happens out of nowhere, other times when game starts or ends. * I tried without overclocking and it didn't work * I tried it with the game's \"Safe Mode\" and it crashed too (not that safe I guess) * Updated my mother board's audio drivers and have latest video card drivers * Crash happens roughly once every hour * Screen goes blank and I can still hear half a second of the last sound in the game being repeated over and over (an exaggerated example of this is if the guy said \"Target down\" I will hear \"down,down,down,down,down,down\" until I restart my computer, without exagerating I would probably hear \"n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n\") * Video card fan speeds up like crazy and gets really noisy * The temperature of my video card is usually around 80 degrees, but that's with every game so I don't think heating is the problem * I have two monitors. I disabled on of them and it didn't fix the problem * I turned off antialiasing and some other effects in the advanced video settings, and I still go the crash * Erased MW3, re-downloaded and re-installed it, and it crashed on the first game I tried * Took out my CPU overclocking and it still crashed * Video card is overclocked by manufacturer see here * Crash is not logged in the Windows' Event Viewer * I'm not 100% sure, but I sort of remember the problem started after some Windows update, after that Windows update Skype also started acting up (as soon as I picked up a phone call, Skype would crash, I had to download the next version's beta to get rid of that problem) * Steam overlay is disabled, and it still crashes I'll post more details as I remember them. Also these are some of the games I usually play or have played, and I have had no problems with them: * Starcraft 2 * Skyrim * Call of Duty 4 * Call of Duty MW2 * Borderlands * Left 4 Dead 2 * Payday * The Witcher 2 * Civilization V * Batman Arkam Asylum (Although this one drops frame rate drastically only on boss battles, weird too. It doesn't crash though) * Counter Strike Source * Portal * Portal 2 * Half-Life 2 * Deus Ex Human Revolution * Among others Thanks! More news: By **changing the game's sound from \"Windows Default\" to \"Stereo\"** I was able to reduce the occurrence of this problem to once every 3 to 5 hours, however, the problem persists. If is a clue to anyone, your advice is really appreciated. Thanks. It just crashed again a few minutes ago according to the log, at 8:05pm and this is the only info I get in the event viewer: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qVyv2.png) The ones above it say (from bottom to top): * Unable to produce a minidump file from the full dump file. * The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.

Report Id: . * (Critical)The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. * Audit events have been dropped by the transport. 0 **EDIT:** So the bounty is about to end, and I didn't get any conclusive solution. I will keep trying to fix this, and will post my solution once I'm find the solution. I hope this helps anyone have the same problem. Thanks for everyone's time, you guys have been really helpful, I will let you all know when this is fixed. **EDIT - FINAL UPDATE** It was a strange form overheating. I call it strange because it crashes soon after it gets to 80 degrees, but I've played other games (Startcraft 2 for example) at around 86 degrees without problems, which is why I disregarded this possibility right away. Lately I've been setting the GPU fan to spin as fast as it can using MSI Afterburner, and I haven't had any crash since. I was able to set back the audio to Dolby 5.1, put back the steam overlay and everything. So I can happily play now. Thanks everyone for all your help, I learned a lot from this experience, and although the problem and solution were somewhat simple (except for the fact that other games run all right when the GPU is warmer) I hope it helps others having any issue addressed here.

When we started the game we were told to update, but we were so eager to play we decided to forego what we thought would be a lengthy download. We had done it before on other games plenty of times and never had any problems. Besides it doesn't matter if we download it later, right? Perhaps not... We played for a while, and truly enjoyed the game. Once we began to get tired, we closed the game and decided to leave the PS3 downloading and installing the update. That's when we found the sad, and ironic, truth: the update was under 15MB, and this is where the trouble began. The next time we started the game, we were happy to know that trophy support had been added. Looking through the list of available trophies we saw that there was one we already qualified for, and another we could earn momentarily. We had already found a treasure or two, so we expected the First Treasure trophy to pop as soon as the game booted. It didn't. I figured the game wasn't counting yet (which I could understand), so we started playing again and quickly found another piece of treasure, but still First Treasure did not pop. Flabbergasted, we tried to reason this out, and figured perhaps it only worked on your first treasure ever. If we really needed it, we'd make a new save file and quickly grab it. Then things got scary. After playing for a while we hit two other trophies whose criteria we had not met earlier. They were Beginner Fortune Hunter and 10 Headshots. The in-game messages* notified us of the achievements, but the trophies did not unlock. * The game has its own award system that is separate from the PSN trophy system. That said most achievements mirror directly to a corresponding trophy. In short it seems that although the game has updated and added trophy support, we still can't earn any trophies. What can be done in a situation like this? We're not _so_ desperate for trophies that we'd go to _any_ extreme to get them, but if there is a simple solution, I'd love to hear it. :)"} {"_id": "170870", "title": "Can't Switch Teleport with ally players?", "text": "Is this a bug or intended?

I really like it and it's really fun, but I'm having difficulties when it comes to playing solo on some of the missions. Why I want to solo: * **Stealth** : It is (in a sense) easier to stealth a mission in solo, as the AI do absolutely nothing until you're discovered. So you have no chance of being discovered due to anyone but yourself. * **Single-Player** : I often just want to be and play alone. * **Practice** : Simply to practice improving my accuracy, (which I've always found to be an important aspect of any FPS) which is harder to do in multiplayer since you could shoot at an enemy that was just shot by an ally and you hadn't noticed. * **People are Jerks** : Especially if you are the one to mess up a stealth mission. I realize these are minor reasons and you could just argue that I should play multiplayer. Aside from that... How can I stealth missions solo at a lower level when there are so many obstacles in my way? I know it's supposed to be challenging but seriously it's nearly impossible on some levels (The Framing Job) in particular. * **Body-Bags** : You only get one body bag. You can get more with perks but I am not a high enough level yet. * **Pagers** : You can only answer 4. Typically this is fine, but on the Framing job it's pretty difficult not to have to kill more than 4 guards when you only have one body-bag. Is there another strategy I can do? I'm currently running the shotgun with a silencer, and a pistol with a silencer. I can patiently do the Framing Job if not for there being like 8 Guards and I only get one body-bag. It frustrates me that you can't even drag the bodies else-where. **Question(s)** : 1) How can someone solo a stealth mission at a relatively low level? If not possible at a lower-level, how can I level quickly as the missions I'm good at and enjoy give me -50% -> -100% Exp due to how often I play them. 2) Are there any other ways to keep stealth on a mission?

The barbarians have been hammering me, often getting more advanced units way before I do. (Now that I have artillery, it's largely under control.) However, at no point in the game has it been safe to scout around, and for most of the game it wasn't safe to be on any of my borders. (I'd have to constantly pull workers away from their projects to prevent them from being captured.) Building a new base requires a large push to secure a new area. Happiness has been difficult, too. I got the social policies that let defensive buildings and science buildings add +1, as well as garrisoned units, and I'm building all the other +happiness buildings I can find, but I can never get a surplus of more than 6. Most of the time I'm hovering around 0 or 1, which means that if the pop goes up I'll be negative for a while until the next +happiness building completes. This has put a huge damper on my expansion. Am I managing the happiness wrong? Or is it just very difficult to stay positive on Immortal? (It would be easier if there were friendly AI, I suppose, with whom I could trade for luxury resources.)

Two ways I know of: * Moving your whole army perpendicular from the opposing forces until they form an arc, then hitting 'Hold Position'. * Boxing and spreading units manually. Is there an easier way, maybe with multiple control groups and/or hold/patrol commands? How are the top players forming their arcs? Thanks! **Edit** The reason I use \"Hold\" to form my arcs is because a line is formed when you run your units as far as their sizes combined. If you simply 'Move' to the position, you will bunch up into a ball. I guess I can try 'Stop' for this instead like has been suggested, but what I'm really hoping for is more along the lines of Budda's answer of using 3 control groups (maybe even pre-split with N marauders, N marines, and N/4 medivacs). I'm going to leave the question open for a little while longer just to make sure we're not missing anything. **Edit 2** Sadly, it appears that positioning units manually is the best arc forming method. I still find myself using patrol to send units north, shift-move them just a few steps south of the north rally point, and then shift-move to where I want to go (further north in this example) to get a better arc (YMMV). I chose the more general answer even though I may have liked the other answer better because I think it will better fit users coming in from Google.

I believe that in RPG games, a support is a character that is completely diffent of, say, Annie and Zyra. And also that the idea of _supporting_ comes from there. What I don't agree is that they're being called supports. It's like if the word _support_ is being used as a synonym to _companion_.

The problem is that the single ling is still a part of my control group and I often issue a new command before he picks off the baneling. What is the best technique for doing this well? I can think of a few options but I am interested in hearing something better: 1. Don't hotkey the units in this engagement. The problems with this are: 1. I cannot double-tap the control group to set the camera on the battle easily. 2. It means more manual selection of units to micro, which is not good when I am microing both banelings and lings. Because I use grid hotkey layout, the key to morph into a baneling is the same as the key to explode a baneling. That means it's very important that I keep banes separate from lings in my selections. 2. Hotkey normally, send the single ling to pick off the baneling, and consciously don't re-issue commands to the control group until the baneling pick-off mission is complete. I think this is just difficult to execute, but maybe it just takes practice? 3. Do the standard \"send a unit in a control group to do something, and remove it from the control group\" motion: Send the whole control group to target the baneling, shift-click a single ling, re-hotkey, and move away. This is dangerous when you're hanging so close to banelings though and it usually causes me to just fail entirely at the objective."} {"_id": "77336", "title": "Is title advancement required for the first baron?", "text": "To recruit my first baron do I need to research a title advancement, or does the first one come \"free\"?

It's seen as a universally good thing. The answer to \"why\" is usually something like: > The bigger arc allows more units to shoot, taking better advantage of their > range. However, that doesn't make any logical sense to me. Consider two armies of 20 marines. It doesn't matter who has the arc, 20 marines shooting another 20 marines is going to be theoretically even. As long as both our entire armies are firing, it will be even, no matter what geometric shape they are in. The response to this is something like, \"well if you have 20 marines clumped, there will be a group in the center who are not firing\". But my reply is that, unless the arc is HUGE (>180 degrees), you can simply move your clumped marines a few steps over and now they're all shooting. I would even say that move distance is _less_ than the distance your opponent had to travel to form an arc around your army, so the clumped army gets the theoretical advantage.

One of the things I've read is that as long as the game considers you a beginner, you can't identify potions, spells and scrolls via their usual unique messages. Once you reach 2000 score points (or 1000 when playing as a wizard, which I do), the beginner status is lifted. The question is: how do I know when I actually reach that goal? I've only been able to find three possibilities: 1. Save scumming 2. Saving the game, then opening the save game in a hex editor and finding the value 3. Using the showscore option. I don't quite like those options, though: 1. Save scumming feels too much like cheating 2. Figuring out what value to look at is cumbersome, and I still have to quit the game in order to do this, which wastes time 3. showscore is not compiled in by default, and I can't do a recompile because building Vulture's is currently broken on Windows (nor have I been able to build plain NetHack).

Is there a pattern to the order of boss battles depending on which one you pick first? Perhaps for each boss, there are more and less likely bosses that follow that one?

So I am looking for a good setup so I can make some potions in the Nether, mostly instant health, splash damage, and speed potions. One solution I often read is bringing filled water bottles into the Nether, but that is just a 1-1 solution, I do not like that too much. I was thinking of the following setup. I fill a chest in the Nether with water buckets, and one chest with stacks of all the ingredients I need. Than in the brewing station I have a cauldron. Now if I understand correctly with a filled cauldron you can fill 3 bottles. So now I can bring buckets of water instead of bottles, so 1 inventory space will give me 3 potions.

So my average damage on a mace is something like this: Mace: Damage+Damage*(CritChance%/100+0.1)*CritDamage%/100 My average damage on a sword is something like this: Sword: Damage*1.15+Damage*1.15*(CritChance%/100)*CritDamage%/100 We assume that Damage is 1 for both weapons. \"Mace\" 1+1*(CritChance%/100+0.1)*(CritDamage%/100) \"Sword\" 1.15+1.15*(CritChance%/100)*(CritDamage%/100) CritChance=x CritDamage=y A mace would do more damage per hit for \"Mace/Sword\">1 and for values <1 the sword does more damage. (1+1*(x/100+0.1)*(y/100))/(1.15+1.15*(x/100)*(y/100))>=1 We can safely limit \"CritChance\" to >=5<=60(the total max on gear was between 50 and 60 somewhere with perfect rolls, lets just limit to 60 because of skills - it also avoids the problem that x/100+0.1 for 100% critchance would reach 1,1 which of course does not make sense - a general solution to this would be welcome nontheless (maybe using x1 and x2 with different assumed limits?) and CritDamage to >=50<=650. Assumptions: x and y are rational and positive. x>=5<=60 y>=5<=650 (1+1*(x/100+0.1)*(y/100))/(1.15+1.15*(x/100)*(y/100))>=1 Can someone point me to the correct Maple/Mathematica syntax for making this a nice plot? I want to see the answer to \"For which range of critchance and critdamage does 10% critchance deal more damage than 15% damage?\" in a plot. Ofc, damage, critrate and critdamage that are inserted are the same, only the result differs because of the modifiers in the formula. Any help is really appreciated.

If so, which one would you recommend (first EU, first HoI, or maybe EU2)? Is it worth to purchase and play the first HoI for some time to get used to game rules, concepts and mechanics? Are these two games significantly different, or is the later version a simple, logical extension of the formula?"} {"_id": "14579", "title": "Strategy to win the Khan scenario?", "text": "How do you approach the Khan scenario that comes with the basic Civ-5? Couple of ideas I'm working on, but always nice to hear from those who have tried and succeeded... 1. Send horsemen off in different directions to explore the map whilst growing/building new cities? After about 40 turns i figured that was going nowhere fast... but I did learn the map so I have unavoidable knowledge of the terrain next time through. 2. Send horsemen to conquer the nearest city-states, before turning attention to other civs? 3. Strike at the biggest rival first and the rest will fall with ease? 4. Strike at the smallest rival first and work your way up? I'm down at the middling levels of skill. Does your strategy change as you make it harder?

They both seem to be right in some ways and obnoxious in others. In the meantime, I'm studying with the Greybeards and pursuing that part of the game. My problem is that I want to finish the main quest this time (unlike my history with TESIV) and would rather pick the side that doesn't end up with me indirectly supporting the Thalmor and the Aldmeri Dominion. At first I thought there was no way to support the Empire without supporting their Compact with the Dominion, but after studying the books in High Hrothgar, I realise that the history of the Great War is more complicated than Stormcloak or Legion NPCs seem to remember/admit. On top of that, supporting or opposing the Dominon apparently has theological implications that I was surprised to discover were important to my character. (... My immersion tendencies are taking over my game. Sorry.) **Is it possible to avoid picking sides for the whole main quest?** I really don't want clear spoilers, but ambiguous hints about how I can participate in or avoid participating in the war are fine.

This means theoretically there should be very few other places for the mobs to spawn. However I've dug down 24 blocks and come across a huge deep underground chasm right where half of my mob grinder should go. I can't see the bottom and can only see one end. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/S8Gzr.jpg) So I want to ensure the chasm won't act as a spawning ground for mobs as this will impact the efficiency of my mob grinder. What is the easiest way to achieve this? Here's a few thoughts I had: 1. I could go down to the bottom of the chasm and cover it with torches. This would stop mobs from spawning on the ground, but I think there might be lots of ledges etc. which would be hard to light. I'm also not sure if spiders spawn on walls. 2. I could fill the chasm with water. Theoretically it's under the sea but even if I tunnel up to the sea floor (through 15-20 blocks) would I have to make multiple shafts or even clear the entire top to properly flood the chasm? 3. I could try to fill it with hard fill but this would take thousands of blocks. 4. There is easily accessible lava near by - I could use a bucket system to fill the chasm with _hot magma_ I'm only in Survival mode so while I can die I'd like to avoid it if possible.

After only 30 minutes of playing Forza 5 or Titanfall, the top ventilation grid is at **50\u00baC (122\u00baF)**. I'm measuring it by placing a tiny thermometer on the top grid, which means that the actual temperature may be a little higher. It even smells a bit like burnt plastic. Well, not exactly burnt, but... it reminds me of a hair drier, when the plastic gets hot. The console is placed horizontally in a well ventilated spot: nothing on the top, nothing on the sides; there is a wall on the rear side, but it has a 6 cm (2.4 inches) margin. Also, I've read that if the Xbox One overheats, it will automatically shutdown itself to prevent damage to the system. That has not happened to me. So, my guess is that the temperature, despite being high, is not _too_ high. In fact, the only part of the console getting hot is the top ventilation grid, the rest of it is warm, even cold... which seems to be normal, too. Anyway, I'm very worried. Is it normal? Is it too hot? Should I return it to the store? _PS: funny side note - I've contacted with the always wonderful Xbox online support team.

I thought I could handle him, you know attack when his skills are down, avoid him when he's about to transform, etc. However I quickly realized this doesn't work (at least in my case). I found myself I extremely poked down xin on the verge of being repeatedly tower dived by Gnar. **Tips I've been told** : * Avoid him at full rage * Engage on him after he's used his jump. * Play aggressive (early & low rage) * Get your jungler to to gank. All of these failed me in that game. I don't want this to happen again. **The Lane** : * I started by trying to farm, quickly realizing he was just going to poke me down fast so I backed off a bit and played conservatively. * After that I watched for an opening, he jumped, he was low rage, no minions around, so (as Xin) I jumped onto him and started my combo. This did a bit less damage to him than he did to me, which his easy to catch Q and his W procs I was outmatched. * I noticed his high rage so I backed up to my tower (minions middle of lane) with my half HP and waited. His rage did not fall and instead I found myself with a wave of minions approaching my turret and Gnar about to transform. * Before I could react he had double-stunned me and I was dead (under tower). * I returned to lane and found myself getting poked out of lane and dived even from full HP. It was over, I realized this and tried some damage control by strictly staying under tower, occasionally farming doubles when I could. * At this time I tried kindly asking my Jungler \"Hey I'm getting my butt kicked, could you help me out Udyr?\" He walked up to tri-bush, stood there for 10s and left \"it's warded what do you expect me to do?\". In my head I was raging at this point, 'Gee idk USE YOUR TRINKET' but I stayed calm as it was ranked. * Eventually it ended with me 0/3 Gnar roaming for kills as I pushed, (I attempted at one point to go to another lane and gank but it resulted in failure as I was under-leveled due to having to stay under tower all game. * The team (and raged me hard as it was 'all my fault') surrendered the game was over. I did okay at dodging but missing all of his Qs and Autos was near impossible, I built pure tank in hopes that he'd eventually do less damage and I could farm/catch-up. I honestly don't believe that a non-pure tank build would have made any difference as even if I could have damaged him he would have transformed at last second and killed me (as I've seen done many times). **TL;DR** : I got my ass handed to me and we surrendered \"all because of me\". **Question:** How can I avoid getting poked completely out of the game by Gnar as a melee champ?

But once I paired it with my laptop as a bluetooth keyboard for testing, I discovered something odd that does not bode well for using the iCade with MAME. **All inputs show up as two (and only two) keypresses - one key when pushed down, and another key when released**. Like so: ### Joystick \u2191 w, e <- a, q -> d, c \u2193 x, z ### Buttons (1 red) y, t (2 blk) u, f (3 blk) i, m (4 wht) o, g (5 red) h, r (6 blk) j, n (7 blk) k, p (8 wht) l, v Most MAME emulators expect standard keyboard behavior. That is, when you are pressing left you _hold down_ left the entire duration of the movement. This isn't a big deal for the buttons -- buttons are instant activate so if I pressed `y` on my keyboard that is the same as, say, pressing fire in Galaxian. But it makes the joystick a non starter since the keyboard key is not \"held down\" -- that is, when I use the joystick and press <- one `a` is sent.. ever. But when I stop holding down <- `q` is sent. How can I configure MAME or other emulators to work with the iCade joystick and its peculiar keyboard interface?

What, exactly, for the purposes of this condition, constitutes an _attack_? For instance, if a warrior is blinded and then uses his hundred blades skill (which consists of up to 8 \"strikes\"), does he miss only on the first strike or do all the hundred blade strikes miss, i.e. is the _attack_ just the first _strike_ or all 8? Also, what happens with AoE attacks? Let's say a blinded ele starts a meteor shower, does each little meteorite miss? Does the first foe to walk into a blinded necro's mark of blood get to walk through unscathed and any subsequent foes are less lucky? Or are AoE skills exempt from being affected by blindness? To get a little more complicated, take the case of a thief using his black powder skill while blinded. Obviously the shot won't do any damage (thus ridding the thief of blindness), but does the combo field (smoke) still get created? If so, are nearby foes blinded themselves? Is the target blinded (even if the target isn't \"nearby\", the black powder skill combos with itself to cause blindness) despite the shot \"missing\"?

I am looking for local/nearby public servers because my gaming experience joining the available servers, which are mostly in Europe or US, was very frustrating because of my high ping value, which is probably because of the physical distance in between.

One idea that came to my mind was what if me and my friends purchase some hosting space in India (server physically located in India) and initially bear the hosting cost ourselves for some time. What if we simultaneously advertise about this and attract players from India. Then when the server gets popular, which I guess will most probably be, we will start charging some minimum fees to keep playing and this will pay back our expenses. Is that a good idea guys? But I wonder how come I have never heard about any such advertisement? Is this a tried and failed idea guys? Can anyone tell me something. Please note that I am a software developer by profession so if there is anything to be done using those skills, I can do it but am not much aware of the details of hosting services. I have never purchased a hosting space. Please give some feedback or any other ideas guys.

This will likely depend on type of shields equipped (5x200MJ shields will recharge faster than 1x1GJ shield) shield generators (unless all ships have enough shield generator output to recharge shields at their maximum rate), although \"venting\" shields by ejecting and picking them up is an option for an otherwise excellent ship. 5.

Another example is when you kill the Boethia's priest, if you read the book while it's on his body will make the Ebony Mail inaccessible at the end of the Boethia's Calling quest) 3) **Visiting places that store special items related to a quest or not talking to people that gives you quests before you enter and \"clean\" those places.** Probably there are more common issues, but now I just remember those. I've already asked: Is it possible to play Skyrim without bugs?. The comments left by Batophobia were useful and I hope I can explain myself better this time. According to my own experience, those problems could've been avoided if I'd have known the right order. (Instead of killing everyone in a cave, first I should talk to X or read Y, for instance) So, what I'd like to know is the right order of missions.

In my opinion, if the enemy has a jungler, a great idea is to pick an anti jungler. Someone with steal, shaco, eve are ideal. This can be even more effective than having a jungler on your team too because: 1. Killing the enemy jungler usually means you can pick your enemy off when they are extremely vulnerable - easy first blood 2. Stealing a buff early can totally ruin a junglers pace, giving your whole team the advantage The downsides are: 1. You are behind enemy lines, a predictable anti jungle/first blood attempt will have the exact opposite effect of what you had hoped for. 2. It the jungler is a higher level than you, you are going to have a hard time countering them. 3. You will probably struggle in lane if you get killed in the enemy jungle, putting you at a huge disadvantage.

If Babette is exactly three hundred years old, that means she's at least lived through (if not actually been involved in) _the entire Elder Scrolls series_ to date.

I surely do something wrong, but I hope this not micro (I'm terrible at it). (I hope this is not a duplicate, but I found no reply other than: * FF your ramp: I'm talking about huge ramps like Scrap Station's * Collossi : I'm talking about a marine rush, I'd have no way to rush this much to collosus. * Guardian shield + stalkers is a good answer, but how do I keep my sentries alive? With zealots => less stalkers... ) EDIT: some good looking answers were provided, but some of them collide. I'll have to try several of them but have not too much time to do so currently. My list looks like this: * choking the base entrance * more units from 2 or 3 gateways + cannons (not sure about the order...) * more sentry-focused army and using FF to create chokes EDIT: TESTS RESULTS Ok, I had some time to make some tests this week-end, although not real in- game tests. I just used the UnitTest map. * zealots alone are good enough in small numbers against a mineral equivalent number of marines, but _only in open spaces (not a ramp)_. * should you add a sentry (with guardian shield), your army is allowed to be smaller than your opponent's. * stalkers need an arc and a guardian shield to be really effective without micro.

Is it better to build a sentry directly on the front?

Or perhaps it is better to build a sentry near the resupply, then haul it? This has the advantage of metal being readily available near the resupply, but the disadvantage of having to haul it (slower move speed) the whole distance, and also that it will not be there at all until the engineer arrives.

If the overproduction cannot be stacked, it's conserved for the next turn like the current mechanism. 5. When the automatons build improvements & ships, the industry is used in the following order: * system's industry * **overproduction [2]** * stacked industry 6. When a system from the Automatons is invaded, the stacked industry is destroyed, reset to 0 even if the invader is an Automaton. * * * [1] **reported** suggest to me that it could saved for the next turn, but only once. Like a phone subscription, for which unused credit is saved for the next-month (it only works for the next month and cannot be 'stacked' for the following ones).

The stuns and slows can keep a highly mobile, high priority target (Zed, Akali, Yi) locked down enough for my allies to burst them in teamfights. Since the shield can theoretically get applied 10 times per cast (twice on each of the 5 members on my team, if we all get stuck in an MF ult, and I cast it just as it starts, for example), it probably as the most total damage negation of just about any shield ability. In lane, I've noticed that a lot of the damage I do is by getting a good combos with auto's in-between to trigger the passive as much as possible. What I see from all this is a lack of reliance on AP. I don't believe the passive scales with AP ( **correct me if I'm wrong tho! SEE EDIT** ), nor do the CC affects (the binds don't last any longer with AP, and I'm assuming that I don't need the damage upfront when the bind hits because my team is going to turn and focus and burst whoever I catch). So if I don't really need AP, what should I be building? CDR obviously, but you can get max CDR in 2 items. I'm toying with the idea of doing some AD and Attack speed items. I think there is a potential to do more total damage with my full combo that way, since a lot of my damage already relies on hitting auto attacks. Runnan's Hurricane applies on hit affects correct? **So would it let me trigger my passive on 3 targets with 1 auto** (if I mark at least 3 targets with a W or Ult)? Could this be a thing? **Has anyone tried it?** **Any other thoughts / is there anything I'm forgetting to consider**?

I've got a grimoire in her that she uses to debuff the queen's attacks and defense. * My highlander tries to help with Spear Assist, but burns through TP too fast to do it often. The battle starts out okay. But by the time we get her to half health, which takes about 8 rounds, my highlander is out of TP, Simon is furiously healing to keep up with her attacks and debuffs, Ricky is on half-time duty helping with debuff removal via Medic Bullet, and everyone is missing most of their attacks due to her high evade which rarely seems to come down. By the time she's at about 40% health, Arthur is about the only one who has time to even damage to her, and that's when he's not dead, blinded, or panicked.

But if the screen show up after some time,it means that the TV ended sending a \"response\" to the PS4? Because if I go in the settings of PS4,HDCP is enabled.Screen just show up instanly when HDCP is disabled,while when enabled it takes a little bit more time.For information purpose,my TV is a 2007 Toshiba,model 32HL57 with 2 HDMI port an apparently this TV is HDCP enabled(I searched my model on the web).Maybe that 8ms response explain the little delay before the screen show up when HDCP enabled?

What is most frustrating is that the last time it happened I'd gotten a number of awards during a match (head-shots), and after I crashed I went back into the game and it didn't look like I'd actually been awarded my points nor gotten those awards since I'd crashed.

My system isn't like SUPER AWESOME by any stretch, but I _thought_ it was a decent enough system for gaming. The framerate has _never_ been satisfactory (I couldn't consistently get 30 FPS), but then I tried the Sphax texture mod (128x128) and ... I basically got back a slideshow. I've tweaked it, but I can't consistently get anything out of single digits. My _laptop_ , of all things, does much better; it has 8GiB of RAM vs. my desktop's 6GiB and, indeed, the issue appears to be paging activity (see details below). I want to run Sphax and have it be decently pretty. Sphax 128x128 is their recommended size. I'd therefore assumed that a person with a decent gaming system should be able to run it OK. I thought I had one of those. Clearly, I am making a mistake or a wrong assumption somewhere. Please note, before you even go there, that setting my render distance to tiny _makes no difference_. Whatever's going on, it's not as reasonable or simple as that. Let me present my questions before my giant piles of screenshots and data and evidence. My questions are: 1. Should Windows _really_ be paging that hard with that much RAM available? Is there perhaps something wrong with my Windows itself? (because that behaviour doesn't seem very reasonable), or is this just how it works? 2. Minecraft seems to be using a great deal more RAM, according to resmon, than it claims or that java was supposed to have allocated; is that normal? 3. The obvious fix seems like more RAM, but as I said, even with the old texture pack (and thus _much_ less RAM pressure, I assume?), it was never very good. Should I, in fact, upgrade my RAM, or is it likely there's something else going on? If I should upgrade my RAM, how much is enough without costing me the world? 4. What else should I fix? What's likely to give me the most bang for my buck? Thank you so much for your time; I know this is crazy long. Here we go with the details: My system: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/6597433 (also at sysinfo; Short version: Windows 7, 64-bit, 6GiB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 1GiB Here's memory usage on my system just after startup; I've done nothing but turn off dropbox. Why is _so much_ RAM in use when the processes add up to so little?? The kernel seems to only use like 300MiB, but if you take the \"in use\" value there and subtract all the running procs' commits, you get more like 1.5GiB in use that I can't account for! What's that about? desktop_just_started Here's memory use once the world was loaded. Note that it's supposed to still have more than 1 GiB of RAM available. resmon_after_startup Here's a graph of paging activity from before MC was started up to after the world loaded. As you can see, it paged like crazy. _WHY_? I had over a gig of RAM available, didn't I? WTH? perfmon_after_startup Here's MC's idea of its RAM use once the game loaded.

As I understand it, transmigration makes a lot of sense for my newly-created characters, as I effectively upgrade what class they are (like Cleric to Priest or Bishop). However, for characters like Laharl and Etna, they can't upgrade their class or change class, so the only benefit seems to be that they may get some more ability points, depending on how much mana I spend. I'm left with some questions about when it's worth it do this. Are the ability bonuses cumulative, such that if I transmigrate him 10 times, I'll get 10 times worth of stat bonsues? Or will my 2nd transmigration wipe out the ability bonuses of the first? * If they do stack, does it ever make sense to transmigrate as a Genius, since it costs a heck of a lot more mana (8000) to get 10 points, whereas I could transmigrate 10 times for +1 ability points (only costs 10 mana each time!)? * If it doesn't stack, will I ever need to transmigrate again once I've transmigrated at the Genius level? * What's the \"Inheritance Bonus\" percentage, and how does this affect things?"} {"_id": "116165", "title": "Bad rendering in Portal Linux beta", "text": "I get a strange rendering problem in Portal on Linux (via the latest Steam beta).

I thought of using the \"Alias\" function on mac, but that probably wouldn't translate well onto a windows machine. Thoughts? (Bonus points for getting the one \"source\" file to sync with the saves file on my mac when I plug in the usb...) [Edit] So far, I've got answers about how to run minecraft completely off a USB. This isn't my problem, I've gotten the game to work fine on both mac and windows, running completely off my 16GB Flash-drive, and leaving no trace (so far as I can tell) on the host machine, be it windows or mac. Seeing as the MC for mac is a .app and MC for windows is a .exe, I can't use one install on both computers. And seeing as I have two installs, with each one generating it's own set of files, I have two save folders. What I need is some way to make both installs read from and write to just one save folder."} {"_id": "68987", "title": "Is the Staff of Herding consumed when used or can you use it as many times as you like?", "text": "> **Possible Duplicate:** > Can you access the secret level in Diablo 3 more than once per difficulty?

However, every cam-video I've seen online, or tried to record myself has either been too low quality to discern much, or too small in terms of screen size that you don't catch much of the battle anyway. So in summary: Is there a way I can give my friends access to the battle videos? Is there a VS Recorder Battle Viewer on the Internet (that takes the video code) or something similar? If not, what other options do I have, other than recording it using a camera?"} {"_id": "144387", "title": "\"My Kung Fu is Strong\" Trophy is not awarded", "text": "I am really annoyed by this as this trophy took 24 hours game play on MK which at 10 minutes a fight stacks up to quite a lot of gaming time...

Namely, I suddenly ran into enemy NPCs that I couldn't see. And I don't mean they were cloaked: I mean they were totally bodiless. If they had weapons I could see those, floating in the air and held by no one. Half the time I can't even target them, because I can't detect any bodies to target! AOE attacks will hurt them, and about half the time an AOE will cause me to target the NPCs once I've begun to hurt them, but most of the time unless they are accompanied by other, visible enemies that I can target first (which usually allows me to switch targets to the invisible ones using the keyboard controls), I just have to sit there and take damage until someone else kills these invisible jerks. The problem seems to be linked to what _kind_ of enemy it is, although I can't list all of the ones I've had trouble with, because they don't show up and neither do their names or identities. I can't even loot the corpses unless they're carrying a weapon; then I can click on the weapon and it will allow me to loot, but there's no body to click on even though the \"loot indicator\" lights up. Some NPCs that are always invisible: * Most of the droids on the Black Talon * Vine Cats * HK-droids * Guild Lifter Droids * Any \"boss\" droid (in those cases I can see forceshields etc, but not the bodies) Additionally, some background elements do not render properly, but instead appear as round green cones.

I played pretty well half of the game. It was something like this: * I scouted Zerg too late (Metalopolis map), my mistake; * Zerg made quick expo, I did too; * Few minutes Zerg was leading in drone amount (he had around 45-50 drones, I had - around 35 SCVs), but it was mostly compensated with my MULEs, also I did him hellion drop and killed around 15 drones; * mutas killed my medivacs in the end of drop. Middle game: I made 2nd expansion, zerg did 2 more. I denied his 1 and killed drones on the 2nd exp (so he left on 3 bases with around 40 drones), he denied my 2nd exp (so I left on 2 bases with 40 SCVs too). The next thing was his mutas+ultralisk+lings+bannelings attack on my natural. I had enough Vikings, marines, medivacs, some banshees, and had time to save all my SCVs. He lost whole army, but I saved 5-6 vikings, few banshees. So it was more or less good for me. The end. Still, I had few problems (as I saw from replay): * I had some minerals/gas left and didn't mine for some time... * I didn't have enough production facilities (4 barracks, 3 factories, 2 star-ports) to build enough army in time... Actually, that is not so small for 2 bases, right? Next his push was mainly consisted from bannelings + zerlings... (more then 50 banelings). He destroyed both my CCs... But if I had enough production facilities, I still could't know what should I build: helions? tanks? thors? banshee or vikings? If I have map control I can see his army coming in 20-30 seconds, but I won't be able to build enough army to defend for this time... My own summaries: I needed to scout him earlier and try to deny expansions earlier... probably in this way he would have less larvas/minerals... and I will be able to build enough and proper army in time... But: **Question 1** : how can you know what kind of army expect from Zerg (if he has all 3: ban.nest, roach warren, spire)? Possible answer: Just to push constantly and keep him under pressure without giving any chance to produce more or less big army? **Question 2** : If I am correct, how can you push and still keep your base well defended (against quick mutas/zerlings)? Possible answer: the best deffence is offence... but still, you need to be able to react on 5-7 mutas mineral line harassment...

For example, when fighting Scaldera (the ball of molten rock in the Earth temple) I brought 4 large bomb bags so I could carry a metric ton of bombs. Does this mean that when I fight Scaldera in the Thunder Dragon's Boss Challenge I will be able to carry 65 bombs even if I am only carrying a single bomb bag when I talk to the Thunder Dragon?

I know that there are cracked servers listed in various sites like http://www.epcgaming.com etc. And I guess cracked servers do not appear in the list of servers while playing a game (in the game's interface). Now, there are lots of sites like http://www.gametracker.com , http://www.game-monitor.com/, etc. which display lists of public game servers. Do you guys know whether they list cracked servers too. If so, how to tell which of them are cracked servers without actually having an installation of the game. All this is part of my analysis before spending money for a public game server. Please look at my previous question for details Ideas or solutions to resolve the issue of absence of Local-Dedicated-Public multiplayer gaming servers.

However, to maximize efficiency I want to build it at bedrock-level (due to lc values), meaning I need to clear out the area that I plan to build this on. Since mobs spawn within 128 blocks, this means I'll need to clear out a 128-radius circle from the collection point, which is a good few million blocks. I realize the simplist option is to build it in the sky, but due to minecraft's lc value mechanics, the spawn rate will go down significantly and I want it to be as efficient as possible. I've tested with JL2579's mob farm design at bedrock compared to y=180, and the bedrock farm spawned about 2-3x faster. I don't have any TNT right now (obtaining TNT being the purpose of making a mobfarm), so mining it all out by hand would probably take several weeks.

No big deal, right? I'll just figure out this whole \"getting there _and_ back\" thing, then put together a rescue mission. The next landing attempt was successful, but somehow I messed up the return trip and ended up in a highly-inclined, fairly eccentric Kerbin orbit. Of course, since this vessel's orbit is inside of Mun's orbit, rescuing this guy should be easier - right? Nope. I forgot to account for the high inclination early on in the launch and ended up burning so much fuel trying to match it that I couldn't get anywhere near matching the altitude. But this guy's got an apoapsis of just 4 Mm, and a peri of just under 1 Mm. Surely, this has to be the easiest rescue scenario I've got to handle yet. Of course not. I guess orbital rendezvous and I just aren't getting along. I got the next rescue craft pretty close to, and intersecting, the orbit of the previous one but I'm pretty sure I don't have enough gas left to accomplish the rendezvous _and_ get my guys back home. So, I figured I'd take a break from all that and look back at Mun. So far, I've more or less been using Tim Taylor logic to increase the amount of thrust and fuel available to my rescue craft in order to give me plenty of room for error adjustments. Certainly by now, this thing has got to be able to make it to a Mun landing and back - let's try to get my Neil Armstrong back home, eh? The good news is, I got it into Munar orbit. It _might_ even have enough fuel left to effect a landing and get back to Kerbin in one piece (perhaps minus a spare stage). So, I decided to check on Neil. And that's where I'm running into trouble. Last I saw Neil, he was standing in his EVA suit next to the flag he'd planted on Mun. He's still there. However, I can't seem to find a way to control him so I can bring him to the rescue craft when it arrives. I can switch to his Command Module, which is how I can see that he's still standing next to the flag, but when I click on Neil I have no option to switch over to controlling him. I've looked around and so far found nothing about Kerbals dying from anything other than a substantial collision with another object. Since Neil is still standing, I'm pretty sure that's not what happened. So what did happen here? Can these guys actually die by being left out in their suits for too long?

If I arrive at their base and start killing their workers and buildings, they simply go to my base and do the same. This usually happens around the early-mid push so both players have mostly tier 1, maybe a couple tier 2 units out, but it's even easier once they have Medivacs because they can fly out of their base unharmed and land in mine. What I've noticed is that there is far less risk for them leaving their base unattended. Why? * They can simply lift off a lot of their buildings which can't be killed fast enough by stalkers, since I also need an approximately equal number of zealots to survive tier 1. * Even if I kill all their workers, then leave to return and defend what's left of my base, they can recover from the economic loss quite well with MULEs. * Terran t1 units tend to do kill buildings faster anyway. * Killing Pylons cripples the Protoss player much more than killing Supply Depots hurts the Terran. I end up being supply blocked and my warp gates have no power so I can't produce anything, while he can still make at least a few things from his barracks. Options I've tried: * Leaving 2 or 3 sentries at my choke to slow them down. If I look away for even a second, the Terran player has already stimmed and taken out the sentries before I can block them off with force fields. * Taking out their workers and the command center, then heading back to my base. All my Pylons and workers are already dead and he's probably had enough time to kill my Nexus, so game over, as he can still produce a few marines at least while all my warp gates are unpowered and I am supply blocked. * Leaving behind a portion of my army. It's too difficult to split up the army, because my offensive force won't kill his base fast enough and my defensive one isn't big enough to defend from his force. * Letting my base die, continuing to kill his and chase his flying buildings around the map while attempting to 'Farm-hide' Pylons or Nexuses until I kill all of his buildings, or possibly engage his army and hope to win. I usually end up losing when I try this as he's still been able to produce several more units from hidden barrackses while my warp gates are unpowered. * On ledge and cliff oriented maps, like Desert Oasis where the Terran likes to use drop ships a lot, going Stargate first instead of Robo and trying to gain air superiority. The terran just uses their superior ground army to beat mine, and leaves behind a few marines in their base to deal with the Protoss air units. * Sitting in my base, never leaving it until I have at least a couple Colossi with the range upgrade. Okay, this works most of the time but a two-way turtle-tech-fest is really boring. It is true that I do play mostly against my buddies and that they have a higher probability of opting for a base race than in your average 1v1 quick match vs. unknown opponents (although in Diamond league I've faced a lot of people who do this as well).

Pretty please?) Mind you, I got a _TRUCKLOAD_ of mods installed... _(ducks in preparation for the coming brick)_ Odd thing is, I was playing with a very similar list before installing Dragon Combat Overhaul and Succubus Race, but deactivating either won't get me anywhere. Done some digging on the Nexus and Steam forums... I read somewhere that No Spinning Death overwrites a script related to dragon death. It _might_ be mucking up things some, but I can't tell. Disabling that mod didn't get me anywhere, but scripts are baked into saves (right?), so in theory I have to _(cringes)_ restart the game to be absolutely sure... Other bits worth (?) knowing: * Running SKSE * Running ENB * Using ModOrganizer UPDATE: There is something seriously broken with my game itself. Tried the following: * Disabled ALL the mods, save for Alternate Start for quicker starts (and yes, this includes USKP, UDGP and UDBP) * Started a new game, created a vanilla Nord character * Toggled godmode on * Given the PC Lightning Storm * Spawned Mirmulnir * Turned the overgrown lizard into charred meat And STILL I'm not absorbing its soul! UPDATE 2: Verifying the game cache integrity turned up 3 corrupted files. Wish I knew which those were, but I had cleaned my master files using TES5Edit, so I thought I had screwed up something there. Created a new barebones game, and at last, I'm having some dragon spirit chow. Then, created a new fully modded game, and no soul chow for me... For a moment I wanted to pin the blame on TES5Edit but now I know that's not the cause. The culprit's still at large. UPDATE 3: After having no luck with a fully modded game, started to gradually activate mods again... eventually I realized that the truckload of mods I had activated on my previous attempt broke something **again** on my vanilla installation, for even another barebones try was plagued with this issue. Re- check integrity, and bam, another file -a very small one, not even 1k in size- was corrupted. (Again, I wish there was a way to know which!) UPDATE 4: Tried a new game with just these on: * USKP * UDGP * UDBP * Alternate Start Guess what. AGAIN the corrupted file issue. Tried again with only Alternate Start active, and still cannot absorb dragon souls. Even while today I could on a similar setup. (I don't understand anything anymore here...) Anyone knows of a way to skip the intro without installing this mod? (Could it be that ModOrganizer is somehow mucking things up?) UPDATE 5: _Probably_ ModOrganizer has something to do with this. However insane it sounds. Instead of manually disabling ESPs, I right-clicked on the mod list, selected 'Disable all visible mods', manually re-activated Alternate Start, and _this time_ I could dine on dragon essence. Read again: a near- completely barebones setup, without even the unofficial patches. UPDATE 6: Disregard what I said about MO screwing up things. One of the unofficial patches is misbehaving. Even with a truckload of mods on, I can still eat dragonstuff--right until activating all three of them. Which one is to blame I don't yet know. **UPDATE 7 AND FINAL:** Finally, finally figured what's going on. USKP has a problem with the dragonactorscript.pex file. Found and installed a fix available here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/31685 Personally, I went and overwrote the file from USKP itself instead of treating this fix as a separate mod, keeping a backup available just in case."} {"_id": "39983", "title": "How do you complete Green Hills of Stranglethorn World of Warcraft quest after the zone phases to 85?", "text": "Question is same as the title.

After that I tried with my Nova. I spammed Molecular Prime to ensure to get as most kills as possible. I resulted in more experience at the end of the game, not only on my Warframe, but also on my weapons. The next game instead, I completely leeched the game, no kills at all.

At the end of the game though, I got less experience in all equip that the round before, where I killed most of the enemies. It seems to me that now every kill you do with your Warframe, grants you exp to everything you have equipped, and the \"leech method\" where you should get all the experience evenly distributed doesn't work anymore.

It actually works pretty well as it is for singleplayer or two-player games. The issue comes when I plug in a third and fourth controller, which are wired USB deals (an Xbox 360 Wired pad and a PS2 controller through an old RadioShack adapter.) The issue is that while the DS3s are assigned Controller ID 1 and 2 when they power on, as soon as one of the USB pads gets plugged in, it commandeers the \"earlier\" controller IDs. This works okay for some things (like Dolphin) where I can assign a specific device by driver to a specific controller.

Thus, the question.

If I try to start the game before my friend is disconnected (he is usually with us for a few seconds), Civ will freeze for a few moments, and then when it loads, it will just be my brother and me; my friend is kicked into his own game. Why does this happen? We are not using Hamachi, and I have forwarded the port 4380 on both TCP and UDP. Is this the right port? We are going to try using Hamachi, but we'd really rather not.

Each time your Suspicion hits 8, you're hauled off to court, where the magistrate will sentence you to jail. (The first time this happens, two points are knocked off of your Suspicion; this makes the jail sentence shorter.) Going before the Magistrate also appears to increase your Criminal Record quality by an unknown amount. (Criminal Record is an un- tracked quality; you can't see each change point as it is applied.) I'm currently facing a dilemma: when faced with the prospect of jail, should I purchase a collection of Instant Ablution Absolution (which cost 1 Echo each, and takes off about 3 change points of Suspicion and one change point of Scandal), or should I just go to prison? The latter is generally more tempting; it's much cheaper, and you can generally work off about two-plus change points of Suspicion per action in prison, anyway. (Doing the auto-fire opportunities doesn't cost an action point if you're out of action points; there are also ways to simply pay your way out at a reasonably good rate: 50-pence-worth-of-items per 3-or-so change points.) So, since prison isn't that daunting, I'm terribly tempted to just go there instead of trying to wash away my sins. That increasing Criminal Record of mine is daunting, though: it looks like it will eventually increase to the point that it becomes inconvenient (significantly reducing the value of the Instant Ablution Absolution, for one), but I don't know if I'll be able to reduce it later.

Therefore it would be optimal to craft the **Archon Spaulders of Vitality** for a Barbarian, than a perfect **Archon Spaulders of Strength** would roll: **330 Strength** and **200 Vitality** , but a perfect **Archon Spaulders of Vitality** would roll for: **300 Strength** and **330 Vitality**.

I've tried going with 2 mages/2 healers, or 1 knight, 2 mages and 1 healer. This is how my attempts tend to go like: * Battle begins * The first one to act is my healer. I normally use shell on the party (using brave). * The second one to act is always Orthros: * First head uses either blazzard or an area of effect spell. Heavy damage. * Second head uses either blazzard or an area of effect spell. Heavy damage. * RARELY they use a physical attack - which is a miracle. Almost always they use magic. * Orthros' attacks have a decent chance to critical strike. If this happens, one or even two of my party members will die (usually the healers/mages). At this point, the party loses its sustain members, and Orthros will finish killing it in the next turns. Reviving the dead healers/mages is not very efficient: I need to spend several Braves to fully heal them, because if I don't heal them immediately, the 200HP from the Phoenix Down won't be enough for them to survive the next AoE attack from Orthros. * If, miraculously, the healers survive the first turn, I have them heal the whole party. * Any other living member will focus attack one head. * Next, it is Orthros' turn again. Chances of surviving another wave of AoE attacks are pretty dim. I can't last many turns against him (I can't even kill one head). The general advice in the web is to always have a positive Brave meter, and focus all your attacks on one head. Still, the continuous AoE attacks from Orthros are too strong for the party and it can't survive much. If he doesn't critical, there is some chance, but if he does (and it happens decently often), then for sure someone will die. Am I too low level for Orthros? What else am I supposed to do?

Unfortunately, however, as soon as I added in the mod files to the new versions .jar, any time I tried running minecraft from the launcher, it looks like it's going to run, and then the launcher just comes right back up and I never actually enter the game. The only mods I've got are Modloader (found here: http://minecraft- mods.org/modloader/) and Timber!

I got him down to about 10 when he planeswalked, there was a chaotic reshuffling of everything, and he bounced back to around 80, and one of his creatures was at 65/65. He doesn't attack (though he should have) because I had a 47/47 creature, and a bunch of moderate units (3 or 4 around 6/6, and 3 or 4 around 2/2), and ends his turn. At that point, because of the plainswalk and the chaos, it starts counting like mad. I was at roughly 200 health, and my 47/47 guy was just starting to get all of his increments from all of my health and the other creatures. However, at this point, during my turn, while it was adding to my life during the start phase, and powering up all my creatures, it tells me I won. It doesn't even get through the end of the start phase before it does it. I got 2 achievements for it, but nothing indicating why I might have won.

Here are the fruits of my efforts, so far. * * * # Voxophones (See the voxophone transcripts on the IGN wiki.) The voxophone that was last recorded by Lady Comstock, entitled \"No longer\", is dated **5th of January, 1895** ; therefore, Lady Comstock was still alive then. AFAIK, the earliest reference of Lady Comstock's death in a voxophone is in that entitled \"For I am lonely, too\", recorded by Constance Field, dated **20th of July 1902** : > This is for the Miracle Child. Hello! **I'm sorry your mother, Lady > Comstock, is dead.** (I think she is altogether better than mine.) Since you > live there, can you tell me why the tower has been closed? People say it's > poor weather, then the pox, then a haunting. If it is a secret, I promise > not to tell a soul. -- Your pen friend, Constance Those two voxophones tell us that Lady Comstock died some time between **5th of January, 1895** and **20th of July 1902**. A gap of 7\u00bd years... # \"A city mourns\" kinetoscope There is the kinetoscope called \"A city mourns\", which shows Columbia folks mourning the death of Lady Comstock, but neither the device nor the footage seem to feature any date. # Lady Comstock's mausoleum I don't remember seeing a date of death on Lady Comstock's mausoleum in the Memorial Gardens. Unfortunately, I can't check this right now, because the game isn't currently installed on my machine. # Comstock Gate's fingerprint lock In the Memorial Gardens, when Elizabeth attempts to use the fingerprint/palm lock the first time, the latter mistakes Elizabeth for Lady Comstock and gives her a warm welcome: > Lady Comstock! How lovely to see you! Wonderful of you to make the journey, > especially considering your painful death **19 years ago**. From the opening of the game, we also know that it's year **1912** when Booker arrives in Columbia. So let's do a bit of maths. Even if you we assume the game to be set in late 1912, going back 19 years into the past would mean going (at least) as far back as year **1894**. However, from one of the voxophones discussed above, Lady Comstock was clearly alive in January 1895. Contradiction! What am I missing?

When I win or go even, I count it as a win and if I lose I count it as a loss. Anyway, back to the main question. How can you play Veigar against Morgana and win? I have been able to go even/win four times and have lost six times. The two I went even with, there were outside factors like jungle ganks and lack of skill of the Morgana that I was up against. I have watched replays of Nyjacky playing this matchup and doing extremely well. The only problem that I have with doing what he does is just, he is much better than me. I cannot just imitate his every move, so I was not able to just absorb all of the information I need from simply watching him. Are there any tips or tricks I could use to improve my quality of life laning against Morgana as Veigar? I appreciate any responses that you guys are able to give me.

And my save file from a newer version of the game is incompatible with the previous version... which I am now stuck with. So what I would very much like to do is edit the save file to be compatible. I don't know if that's possible or not. I was hoping that somewhere in the file there would just be, like, a value containing the version of the game that the save file is for. And I could go into the file with a hexadecimal editor to change that field to the previous version. However I do understand that there could easily be some data in the save file that refers to things that simply _do not exist_ in the previous version, making this venture extremely difficult or completely impossible. I don't know. I just really don't want to lose my data. I was able to open the save file in HxD but am at a loss as to which data I should be looking at.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed spots, well not spots, more like a test pattern in their eyes that can be seen after playing kinect? I assume that this is due somehow to the laser in the IR sensor, is this normal or do I have a defective laser in my unit. I've never had this before and since I only got my xbox kinect as a Xmas gift a few days ago I've noticed it twice immediately after playing kinect for about 10-20 minutes or so. The spots resemble a vertical or slightly diagonal line and really resemble a sort of one dimensional test pattern (with various symbols, kinda like various geometric shapes). No, I don't put my eyes right up to the sensor, I use it normally as per the instructions. Anyone? ### EDIT The Kinect game itself doesn't matter, I first noticed it yesterday and then again today. It is really odd as when I close my eyes I can see the various patterns in a single strip. It has the width and length of about a finger held vertically at arms length. It disappears in about 10-20 minutes after I stop playing but does leave me with a residual head-ache. Needless to say, it has been disconnected and I've contact XBOX. The patterns themselves look kinda geometrical, hard to focus on though. Nick: laser/IR emitter can be the same thing- if it emits IR and is phase coherent. The sensor itself has a class 1 laser device stamped on it and several websites describe it as a laser (in the 800nm range it seems). I don't have the full specs as I assume that is a rather closely guarded secret. Perhaps it is an IR LED with a grating in front, I don't know as I didn't build it. ### EDIT 2 Thanks everyone for your input. I went to an electronics store where Kinect was on display. The same thing happened there so that settles it for me.

I have a high silver league rank, and I thought doing what day9 says would quickly get me to the gold league, but it's either I'm doing it bad, day9 is not right (which I **REALLY** doubt) or everyone in my Silver league division is doing what day9 said =P. Anyway, my actual question is: What is the next step? That is, once I'm used to doing workers, unit and not getting supply blocked all the time, what other things should I concentrate on? I am a Terran player, and I usually start with an MMM build, and I do variations depending on what I scout on my opponent. Is anyone in my same situation or has been in it? Thanks in advance. EDIT: Here's a replay of my last game. Please be really objective on your critique. If you see I do something really wrong just say it, I won't feel bad or anything. Thanks =). EDIT: Also, I know this question seems really specific to me, so if you're in the same situation and feel this might help you please comment on it so the question doesn't end up being closed or anything.

I already had tried (and failed) to hook up _her_ SNES to our TVs and just assumed the console was busted, but now I'm not so sure. Here is the list of parts that I have tried (every combination of them I can think of): * Two SNES consoles, both first-generation, both thought to be in working condition. * Two different models of LCD television, one about 3 yrs old, one about 6 mos old. * Two original RF adapters - one from a NES, one from an SNES - that connect to the RF output on the SNES and the coax input on a TV. * One aftermarket RF adapter for the SNES/Gamecube that connects to the Multi A/V port on the SNES and the coax input on a TV. * One original (possibly a Gamecube) A/V cable that connects from the Multi A/V port on the SNES to the composite (yellow/red/white) or S-Video inputs on a TV. * Four separate games that I believe to be working correctly. I have hooked up both SNES consoles using all 4 adapters, to both televisions, and I get the exact same behavior every time. The signal that comes across on the TV are thick bands of solid colors scrolling very slowly down the screen (mostly a big green bar that takes up 1/2 the screen with scattered bands of other colors) and an annoying hum from the speakers. This doesn't seem to match the behavior I have seen reported when things start to go bad. I don't get a black screen, or static, or a somewhat garbled but identifiable signal -- I get this \"test pattern\" signal on every game I try, no matter what I do. This makes me suspect I have something hooked up wrong or configured wrong on the TV, but I can't figure out what. Help? EDIT: Some additional information here. * The Composite video cable actually has an S-Video output as well; One of the TVs I am trying to took up to has an S-Video input, and it produces the same result. (And it's possible that this cable came from a Gamecube, as my GC isn't currently hooked up to anything, but I've been told that the SNES and GC use the same MultiA/V output hardware.) * The first TV I'm trying to use is a Vizio VA26LHDTV10T; the manual for it is online, and there's not much it can do in the way of manually adjusting the input signal. * When I switch the TV input source to AV, the screen tells me that the incoming signal is 480p SD. Does that sound right? Is the SNES really putting out a 480p signal and not a 240i? * This is the connector I'm using: ![Cable](http://i.stack.imgur.com/OFtAp.jpg) * This is what I'm connecting it to on my TV: ![TV Inputs](http://i.stack.imgur.com/CcZvI.jpg) * This is what happens when I turn on the SNES: ![Signal](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uqfb3.jpg)"} {"_id": "67728", "title": "Why can't I join all of my friends' Diablo III games?", "text": "When I sign into Battle.net, it lists some of my online friends whose games I could join.

I've triple checked my chunk loaders, and everything neccesary for the network to run is chunk loaded. (I have a 100 chunk square area chunkloaded around my base) I have plenty of mats for everything, and the mats that are not stored in my AE network are also chunk loaded. All the machines the MAC uses to craft with are chunk loaded. My power supply is chunk loaded. When I return to the interface after such a failed job, the Crafting Monitor is empty, showing no current jobs or missing mats. What am I missing that might be causing this? Disclaimers: * The AE Network is not being changed by anything to my knowledge, that is, I'm 100% sure nothing is automated to place any AE blocks or remove any. * My base is centered in an area that has 4 chunkloaders, each keeping 25 chunks loaded, strategically placed so that they each cover their own quadrant of a square. This totals a 100 Chunk Square Area that's constantly loaded, and nothing in my network is even close to the border. * I have no Quantum Bridge's nor do I have any Dark Cables. * Since paying attention to the issue, I can confirm this happens everytime I logoff, or leave the area of my base. This would suggest that it's a Chunkloading issue, however, I'm not at all sure how that could be possible given my 2nd Disclaimer... ![Area Four](http://i.stack.imgur.com/IakJv.jpg) ![Area Three](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BxPMC.jpg) ![Area Two](http://i.stack.imgur.com/eTDmx.jpg) ![Area One](http://i.stack.imgur.com/FfRwJ.jpg) You can see in each of these photo's my floating chunkloader. If streaming was an option I could show a video of me walking the chunk lines and confirming that each of my chunk loaders is in the proper place to keep the entire area loaded. Each Chunkloader manages a 25 chunk quarter section of a 100 chunk square. (as I've already said) You may have noticed the cobblestone border around my area, that marks where the chunkloading ends, and I'm 100% sure I have no ME-anything that crosses any of the borders. ![Chunk Proof](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tv3i4.jpg) Here I have turned on all 4 chunkloader's 'show lasers option', and took a screenshot of the CENTER of the square of my chunkloaded area, you can see the 4 lasers from each chunkloader converging on the center chunk borderline, this proves there are no 'gaps' in the chunkloading. **Edit: I have determined that this is almost certainly a chunkloading issue, as the other night before I logged off, I bred my cows, but when I logged back in, over 8 hours later, some cows were still baby cows. I have since broken and replaced all my chunkloaders, thinking perhaps they were bugged and not working even though they were properly placed. The issue remains however.** **Edit2: I have come as close to being sure as I can be, reduplicating the issue just to prove I fixed it isn't worth it.(I've since wiped the server) But, for what it's worth, it seems chicken-chunks-chunk-loaders are partially bugged. (we knew this but not to the exact extent.) Some of the chunks were not always properly loaded despite being chunkloaded causing the system to reset when I left the area. Using many spotloaders rather than few chunkloaders seems to fix the chunkloading bug issue. If at all possible also attempt to load the chunks using a chunk loading device that isn't from Chicken chunks, such as a World Anchor or Dimensional Anchor.**"} {"_id": "115352", "title": "Why won't this ocelot do anything but breed?", "text": "I have several raw fish and have been trying to tame an ocelot.

This situation makes it difficult to complete your quests because you struggle to defeat regular groups of enemies, and are very likely to lose (often, repeatedly) to a strong or boss enemy at the end of the quest. **Overleveled** : The state of being substantially higher level than the highest level quest you have. Most players consider this a good thing: quests are easier to complete because you are more likely to resist/parry/deflect attacks, and your attacks are more likely to affect the enemy. You also have better gear and abilities than a lower level person. The only possible downside is reduced challenge when completing solo quests, but Heroics, Raids and PvP are still just as challenging as ever. I personally am a subscriber, and benefit from Rest XP, plus all the other perks of being a subscriber, so I am overleveled. But I notice that almost all of my friends who are Free to Play (F2P) become so underleveled that they can't even beat a solo side quest. Sure, they might be able to clear out the groups of standard / weak mobs, but they inevitably die to some boss/champion/whatever at the end of the quest. It happens over and over again, and they ask for help when they can't beat it. And it's not just a few people: almost _every_ F2P player I know of experiences this burn. What advice should I give them so that they can safely gain XP and become at least \"right-leveled\" (the same level as the class quests and side quests they're attempting)? Note that in almost all cases, these underleveled individuals **are** completing all the side quests and heroics as they go. But they simply don't have the resources to buy XP boosts or subscribe, so they can't get Rest XP, etc. I am already sort of aware of the following possibilities, but I wanted to know if there are other things they should be doing: * PvP as many times as they can per week until the system won't let them do it any more * Run dailies (flashpoints) as many times as they can until the system won't let them * Get into groups with other underleveled people and complete quests together * Repeat heroics several times (can F2Pers do this?

The Harvester seem to take about 2 minutes to realize that something is actually ready for harvest (tested with Carrots) before harvesting it. 5. The Planter seem to take about a minute to realize that a plot is empty (also tested with Carrots) before planting on/tilling it. Also, all the machines are hooked up... * The QDS (Quest Delivery System) is the block with a \"Mushroom Cake\" on it. * The pipes contain sludge (not used currently) for the quest (which is finished). * The Sludge Boiler is directly behind (from POV) the QDS. * The Lava Generator (power source) is underneath the Sludge Boiler * The Harvester is underneath the QDS (proper position) * The Planter is under that tiny patch of water in the middle... And it is hooked to the Harvester with Itemducts and to the Lava Generator via Leadstone energy wiring stuff. * All machines are powered with Leadstone energy wiring stuff. So, basically: 1. Is there any way to make it work faster and be more responsive? 2. Is there anything wrong with the build/layout? 3. Why can't I harvest anything other than carrots and potatoes?

This way he gathers just enough wood to create the Ziggurat on time (without delay), as Gold was the limiting factor, and the Huntress Hall gets created a bit faster (about 10 seconds) which is a huge deal.

Here are the approximate guidelines I've been going by thus far: * I like Penance. * 1 Power Word: Shield up at a time seems good due to Rapture. * Surely Prayer of Healing (especially with Inner Focus) and Prayer of Mending are great since everyone's taking damage. * Throw in a Smite now and again so I can pop Archangel. * Power Infusion seems good, preferably on me Here's what I haven't been using much but I don't know if that's bad: * Heal - Penance seems strictly better except for the cooldown, which Smite helps with * Flash Heal and Binding Heal appear to be majorly inefficient * Greater Heal doesn't seem like much help for an AoE fight What spells (like Archangel or Penance) and buffs (like Grace) should I attempt to optimize for maximum mana efficiency? How should I be healing in a world where I run out of mana? **Worded in another way:** We definitely have gear problems, strategy problems, and DPS problems, but that's not what I'm asking about. **I want to make sure I'm healing well** to get us a wee bit closer to tackling this tough content!"} {"_id": "17287", "title": "How does one make an Animal mob spawner?", "text": "I would like to know what necessary steps must be taken to successfully complete a spawner that spawns non-aggressive mobs such as, cows, chickens, sheep, and swine."} {"_id": "116202", "title": "How to restore TF2 item server connection?", "text": "Occasionally I will get a message from TF2 about being unable to connect to the item server, and I will be stuck with a pure stock loadout.

Unfortunately, I can't get past the first five minutes or so of the game because I get stuck on the conversation with the little girl Emily. After she's done talking, she just kind of stops, stands still and stares at me. Forever. I can look around and see other people moving in the vicinity, and I can open the menu. However, If I try to load any games or go back to the main menu or anything, it loads for an indefinitely long time. I also get indefinitely long loads when trying to play things from the \"Missions\" section. These last 15+ minutes - at that point I figured they weren't going anywhere, considering that loading the actual game only takes a few seconds. The prior cutscene with the boat works fine. **Unusual Circumstances/Potential Causes** I'm running this on Linux (specifically Fedora 20) with Wine (specifically version 1.7.8). I don't _think_ the problem is with Wine; as I'm running both Steam and Dishonored in terminals I'm not getting any error messages or warnings at the point I get stuck. It's not really characteristic of most of the Wine issues I've had in any case. It's also very uncharacteristic of a graphics issue (I am using the open source drivers though which have only recently started working for me for games). Additionally, the game is rated very highly for Wine compatibility and no-one mentions similar issues, you can see the appdb page here. Both are vague possibilities, though. **What I've Discovered** I've found instances of similar problems, most notably this YouTube video. I've found comments about the same issue to the effect it goes away when you leave the area. However, I am obviously not capable of blinking around as the game has just started. I am getting pretty frustrated with this as I've spent several hours in the game and researching the issue without ever progressing beyond the first five minutes. What, if anything, can be done about this? Thank you for any assistance. **EDIT** : After resetting basically everything (new Wineprefix, new Steam install, new download and install of Dishonored) I got it to work...for a few hours. Most of the original issues returned after restarting the game, though I haven't tested the cutscene itself since I'm past that point now. I will add the additional comment that Steam does part of the \"first time set up\" every time I start the game, reinstalling DirectX and the VCRUN redistributable."} {"_id": "95767", "title": "Neverwinter Nights 2 multiple hakpack problem", "text": "I've been playing around with hakpacks for NWN 2 recently.

Thanks for any help you can give me on m issue! **Edit 1:** I have just tried replacing my JRE 7 for the JDK 8 5 and this hasn't helped making me think this isn't an issue with Java but possibly something else. Also, I have tried running on 32bit java but to no avail. **Edit 2:** Sadly there have been no definitive answers. I have been continuing to look online at possible solutions however I can not find any with the `jvm.dll` as the problematic frame. I attempted to download the JavaRe program talked about however it crashed on launch. (Note: I would have put this as a comment but I do not have enough rep `:(`) **Edit 3:** I've tried running Minecraft as admin which worked for a few minutes before getting the same old error again. Then, i realised that I didn't have DirectX installed so I installed it and voil\u00e0, it worked again for around ten minutes. Now I am back to where I started, still getting the error upon opening.

Until then - I'll keep updating with info. **Edit 4:** Yep, this is a lot of edits but hey I have been trying a lot of things. Weirdly, I was playing some Just Cause 2 Multiplayer and it crashed. Just out of interest I looked in the dump file and would you believe the Error code was 0x05. This is the same as the `EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION` and the `PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA` BSOD which I have had twice today. Still though, I am nearly 100% positive it _isn't_ a hardware problem as my RAM passed memtest. The plot thickens. I shall keep the thread up to date as I feel that is better than making new threads. **Upsate (1 month on):** Well, a month later and with still no definitive answer and still no solution found by myself, I guess I'll update here again (It's better than a new question) Anyway so yeah, ~~I am currently able to play vanilla although it does crash sometimes~~ update: It crashes all the time. For some reason this has got worse. I am only able to play Modded Minecraft after having restarted my PC, and even then I can only play for around 10 - 20 minutes before it stops and I have to restart again. I have also tried to copy the Java program files from the Program Files directory on a laptop running the same OS as me. That didn't help. I also changed the permissions on the jre7 folder to Read & Write, but that didn't help either.

My stutter step micro is very very good and I tend to have strong EMPs, but against Zealots with +3 armor (rushing this is the norm) they just don't die before I run out of room to micro, and meanwhile Colossi are ripping through my infantry and my Vikings are getting picked off by Stalkers. If they add Archons, it's even worse. It feels as if Protoss can just a-move their force and I have to micro Vikings to stay out of range of Stalkers while stutter stepping while landing EMP's, and even if I do so perfectly I still don't come out ahead unless I have a significantly stronger force to begin with or am microing a drop at the same time (which Protoss can defend with instant warp-ins). The only thing I haven't attempted is mixing in Tanks, but the level of micro necessary to include them in an already hugely micro-intensive force is not even remotely comparable to what a Protoss has to do with their ball.

Images originating from my DirecTV DVR (1080i and lower) seem to be fine, but something's happening between the PS3 (at 1080p) and the new TV. Basically what I'm noticing is: * There is a vertical jitter - the image appears to slightly move up and then back to normal. * There are horizontal, white lines in the bottom right corner of the screen. This happens in any PS3 content: menu, in game, and in movie. What I've tried: * Switching HDMI cables (doesn't fix) * A different HDMI port on the TV (doesn't fix) * Try a different AV receiver (doesn't fix) * Connected the PS3 back to the old set (issue goes away...as expected) Thus, I feel I've sufficiently ruled out all possible hardware issues with the exception of the new TV.

NONE of the resolutions exhibited the image jitter/interference issue EXCEPT 1080p.

Aside from the obvious ramifications -- shops no longer being available, so no trading to be done -- what are the ramifications of making a \"last man in the world\" (well, at least the east coast of the US) situation in Fallout 3?

The items are being added to the brewing stand in the correct order and another hopper is adding bottles of water. there is a hopper at the bottom with a chest to remove the finished potions. **Problem:** When brewing is done, I must press a button which will reset the system. The finished potions are to be removed (from all three slots) and then a new water bottle takes its place and then the materials are released again. In my one, when I press the button, only the first slot is being removed from the brewing stand and two others remain. In addition, I am seeing fresh bottles of water also going through the system and into the chest. Am I missing something? Please let me know what you think. Thank You! **Edit:** Solution: So what @Aiyion.Prime said was the problem. The top hopper seems to be filling in as fast as the bottom one is removing, which results in only one slot being filled/emptied. As @MrLemon mentioned in the comment, it is possible to fix this issue with my one button setup. All you need to do it take the signal going to the bottom hopper and split it to another lead. Then invert the signal so that when the bottom is shut the top is open and visa versa. Then use your favorite method to extend the signal gogin to the top hopper. I used the multiple repeater method, splitting the red stone wire into multiple parts and having a single repeater on each, having one+ delay than the previous, with all repeaters joining at the end to make a single signal going to the top hopper. -- this will power the hopper as soon as the signal comes, but because each hopper is on a 1 tick delay, and I had 4-5 repeaters, I was able to keep the signal going for 5 ticks (longer than a regular signal). I also added a 1 tic delay on the signal going to the bottom hopper so give the top hopper time to shut before emptying the bottom, and then after the bottom one shuts (is powered), the top one can open again and refill the brewing stand with water bottles.

I think you know what I'm talking about, you can see where you want to be but you just can't get there. This is the problem I have with Starcraft 2. I have great game knowledge from watching replays/live casts, reading wikis/strategy guides, and I know what I could use for victory, but I can't seem to actually make it happen very well. I tend to always get into a reactionary mode and then everything becomes to overwhelming. There are two main factors that I have found, one is camera control and one is just overall control in general, meaning knowing what/when/who to click. In terms of camera control, this is the worst limitation. I can only view a small window of the entire map at any given time. However, I need to be controlling everything at once. This is a real challenge. I use hotkeys so I can build units while out on the field, but there is a major gap in the ability to reinforce. If I'm staging an attack and building units in the background with hotkeys, there needs to be a time where I switch my view back to my base, rally up my new units, and add them to the battle (if I just set my rally points to the battle field I would have no good force back at my base and the units would be trickling across the map). However during this time my vision is no longer on my attack force which causes major problems. Of course during this whole time I should be teching up and expanding, like I said, it's like those running dreams... So beyond where I should be 'looking' with the camera, how can I get better at controlling everything, I always feel like I am one step behind my army. It's as if instead of me happening to my base/army, my base/army is happening to me. I can't seem to feel like I'm in control but rather like I'm trying to lead a class full of 3rd graders through a museum: I know what I want them to learn and what exhibits I want to make it to but half the kids are trying to run off and climb on things, and there is only so much time in the day. I hope these are good analogies of what I am trying to describe as it is kind of hard to put it into words. I know Starcraft 2 is a game of constraints, but how can I take advantage of them instead of being hindered by them? I found a replay where the players seem to have really good control and tend to utilize the camera very well."} {"_id": "138906", "title": "Do amplified worlds have any flat areas?", "text": "My friends and I would like to use a world on 'amplified' world type, which increases something or other by doing this and that...

Sometimes it's so good I can just spam Hammer of the Ancients and never run out of fury. All that spent fury, combined with Bloodthirst, means I'm typically healing through the damage safely. I can kill elite packs with these affixes considerably faster (and more safely) than those without due to all the extra fury. However, I'm considering moving up in Torment where the damage from those fields will be more significant and am looking for ways to mitigate it. I'm considering working on a Blackthorne's set for the 4-piece bonus of \" _You are immune to Desecrator, Molten, and Plagued monster ground effects._ \" However, I'm wondering if this will prevent those fields from generating fury from the effects, since I won't be receiving damage from them. Reading the wording of the two things logically, it seems like it wouldn't work, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time in Diablo 3 that the actual mechanics of how a thing works differ from the describing text.

So we've been doing a lot of act 2 nephalem buff farming with my buddies, but have found that a lot of people are just doing either act 2 Treasure Goblin farming, or act 3 Resplendent Chest/ Treasure Goblin Farming. We've tried both, and have had success with both. I do solo farm, but I know what works best for me there. The group I work with all runs with Magic Find (MF) and we're all just above 200MF (without nephalems), if that matters. Finding and clearing a chest in act 3 can take anywhere from 2-8 minutes, while it only takes 2 minutes to find a loot goblin in act 2 (assuming that you have one in the game you join). We farm as a group so we can maximize the amount of goblins or chests we find, but there's some factors that make it unclear to me what really is the best bet. While we can do treasure goblin runs faster, there are times when it seems like he wont spawn for 10 minutes for 4 people. The Underbridge in act 3, had been up roughly 75% of the time for the 30-40 runs I did last night, but the chests only seem to spawn about 10-20% of the time inside. It's nice because act 3 can drop the highest loot tier, but it does take a little longer and we do suffer some deaths. Also my dps I run with has issues with clearing or finding chests since they're so squishy, but it's still doable for them. So I end up finding roughly 80% of the chests. Just curious if anyones kept any tabs for a period of a few days as to the profits from each. Right now I've only farmed each for a day. I look forward to hearing your results or opinions. Update: Tyrael has been nerfed, so if you can't do the damage yourself to clear any necessary mobs, or the elites if you like to kill them, then you will have issues. Tyraels damage has gone from 25k-40k a hit down to 1,200. At least from what I've experienced thus far. Also the chance of the chest has been drastically reduced. As I have not seen any offical numbers on it, or any details of their stealth nerf of the chest runs, I can give you what I've seen from trying the run since the nerf, which is about a 10% chance for the chest to spawn. Unfortunately I've only been finding one or two chests an hour now, making the act 3 chest runs not worth it. PS: Here's some good links that demonstrate these runs.

In my implementation it looks like this: * 10 Supply * 11 Barrack * 12 Refinery * 14(or15) Barrack 2 * in mean time (as resources allows) tech-lab for 1st barrack, reactors to other tech labs, research stim-pack, and pump marines. Too often that worked good: usually opponent has some marauders, rarely 1-2 tanks (without siege mode), probably bunker... But, after been promoted to next league, too often I stuck with my strategy. In higher league, they build tanks quicker and when I have good amount marines to push the bunker on the entrance - they get tank in siege mode - and my \"marine push\" - died. ... For sure, I can scout (scan) and see if my opponent goes to factory, stop my marine push and switch to other builds. But the problem here is that I didn't build refinery early, I spend for barracks... I still could win and trying to do that, but: If opponent PLAN from the beginning to go to quick factory and tanks: * 10 supply * 10 refinery * 11(12) Barrack he will have factory as quickly as I will have 2nd barrack. and he will have 1st tank in 45 more seconds. Let's assume I don't build refinery/gas/tech-lab. So, if opponent builds tech- lab on 1st rax - he will have 1 marine less then I will (if I will go baracks only). If he build factory/tech-lab/refinery he will have 100+25+75+30*0.9=227 minerals less (75 - cost of refinery, 30*0.9 - amount of minerals that could be collected by SCV instead of building Refinery, 100+25 - amount of gas. I assume, that workers collect gas with the same rate as minerals). Plus 100 for bunker - 327 minerals So I will be able to have 4 barracks against his 1 barrack + 1 factory. In the same time. Each 50 seconds: - I will produce 8 marines; - he will produce 2 marines + 1 tank. Till the time he research \"siege mode\" (80 seconds) I will have around 13 marines, he will have 2 tanks + 4 marines (been sitting in bunker, having SCV repairing bunker/tanks... Plus time for my army to reach his base... Here is a naked theory but it seems like there are no any chances to beat 'quick-siege-tanks' BO with 'pure marine' build. If I add into my BO refinery and tech-lab, I will have my army smaller and later and don't think stim-pack will help to beat tanks behind the bunker... Please see my thought and let me know if something is wrong in my calculations. If you know some good replays for this particular case (diamond level players would be the best :) ) - you are very welcome (I would prefer really replace, not video as it is very required here to see exact timing of all things happened).

First question -- What are the primary differences between Guitar Hero and Rock Band with regards to the learning curve? Second question -- With regards to the Guitar Hero series (since the series has multiple titles under it), **which title is the easiest for a beginner**? The reason that I ask this question is because I don't know that it's necessarily a good idea to buy the latest GH (whichever one it is now) to start learning on. I mean, what if it's insanely hard and I give up because of it (not likely however, because I enjoy a challenge)? Third question -- Same as the 2nd question, but regarding the Rock Band series. Fourth question -- I realize that the GH games have evolved from the first one to the latest one and that you can't use the same guitar for all of them (meaning that you have to throw down extra money just to buy the right guitar for the one that you're currently playing). **Should this factor in on my decision as to which series to play?** Fifth question -- **Has Rock Band evolved in the same way that GH has** , or in other words, does one have to purchase different versions of the instruments depending upon which title you purchase? I apologize for the number of questions here, but it really is a difficult decision to make and is compounded by the fact that both of the series have multiple games already in the series.

I then let him kill me (the shot didn't kill him) so I hoped it wouldn't save that. So I was hoping I could go back and just replay that chapter and get the achievement... but that didn't work either.

I haven't been able to find any reliable information about their underlying mechanics - but I have discovered plenty of conflicting accounts. I suspect some of it may be from early beta. It appears as though the Ammo bag depletes based on the amount of ammo picked up. It's certainly something more complicated than a simple number of uses... sometimes it disappears after two uses, sometimes after many. I'm not clear on whether or not it is helpful to deplete secondary ammo before using the ammo bag, or if this simply uses up twice as much of the ammo bag. If it's simple a quantity based thing - then optimal use would probably be to only use your most effective ammunition, and recharge as often as viable. It appears that the medic kit may be a number of charges as it was in Payday: The Heist. This would mean optimal strategy is to only use it when very low on health.

We're playing Zerg and Protoss and using co-op vs AI as a training ground to practice the macro cycle before experimenting on the ladder. We're having a problem defending against terran during the initial rush in 2v2 vs the AI. We can both beat the hard and very hard AIs individually, and we can easily beat 2v2 hard AI by cheesing (the AI especially doesn't like being cannon rushed). However, as we're trying to practice macro, cheesing seems counterproductive. The problem is, the hard AI predictably moves out around 6:30 with an aggressive timing push which is quite difficult to hold with \"normal\" openings. If we go up against two Zergs or Protoss, we can hold reasonably effectively. If we have one terran opponent it's a bit scrappy - if one of us fast-expanded we usually lose the expo, but we can usually kill the AI's expansions in return and go on to win. If we have two terran opponents we can't hold. I've had a quick look over our replays and we're not doing anything differently in the matches we're struggling with. The causal factor seems to be the terran. The timing push consists of around 10 marauders and 12 marines. It hits around 7 minutes. We'll usually have 8 gateway units (3 zealots, a stalker, a sentry, and one round of warpins from 3 gates), an immortal, and around 30 zerglings. * Do we need more (or different) units? * Is there an obvious counter I'm missing? * Is there anything you can think of that we're likely to be doing wrong in the opening? * Is 2v2 vs AI just not good for this kind of practice? As I say, we're trying to practice macro, so we'd rather avoid doing anything obtuse - e.g. it's pretty easy to 1v4 hard AI if you cheese + exploit the AI's weaknesses (the AI _hates_ being cannon rushed...), but that's not very good macro-cycle practice.

( _E.g._ , peaceful mode is not an option.) On the PC, you can simply modify the game rule `mobGriefing` to turn off block damage from creeper explosions, but this isn't possible on the Xbox (as far as I know). The thought I had was to construct an obsidian or bedrock \"box\" in which I deliberately spawn the maximum number of creepers, so that creepers don't spawn elsewhere.* To make and optimize these creeper boxes, I'd like to know the specific rules regarding mob spawning and despawning with regard to quantity and distance. For the purpose of this question, I'm not interested, for example, in the rules regarding light levels, blocks they can spawn on, and so forth. What I'm interested in is the numbers: * What is the maximum number of creepers that can spawn on an Xbox Minecraft map simultaneously? * Is there a separate cap on total number of mobs that's independent of the cap on creepers? If so, what is the number? * At what distance (if there is one on the Xbox version) from players do mobs despawn? (This is important so the creeper boxes can be spaced out such that they are always effective. This is what I meant by \"distance\" in my question above.) * Will greater numbers of already-spawned mobs of one type (e.g., creepers) reduce the number of spawns of other types (e.g., zombies)? Some additional background. I've taken a look at the wiki, which provides very detailed information on this for the PC version of the game, but I have no way of knowing if that information is the same on the Xbox version. There's reason to believe it's different since we're working with a fixed size world. Also, I've looked at this question, which is very similar, but when you get into the details of it is not actually asking for the numbers, but rather the impact of the mob spawning limits geographically. * * * * Sidenote: I have two ways to accomplish the creeper spawning: Modding the map with creeper spawners in the boxes (e.g., oPryzeLP's mod), or placing dispensers filled with creeper eggs flush with the wall, so the mobs spawn through the wall. This latter technique works, and I use it in mob arenas, although the mobs taken some pressure damage when spawning. I mention this to avoid this question getting derailed into a discussion of \"how do you intend to spawn the creepers?\" Not my issue."} {"_id": "74634", "title": "Can a sentry prevent a boss from healing while you are out of a fight?", "text": "On inferno difficulty, uniques and champions will automatically heal back to full after a certain amount of time if you aren't actively fighting them (10 seconds or so).

(4-5 more levels might go quicker? I see no difference) * You only had to get/buy one weapon saving money (again, is money really an issue?) One Weapon Dual-Wielding Cons: * You have to level up the weapon before you can dual-wield (if you single the gun all the way, it will take some time) If you asked me, the pros far outweigh the cons to dual-wield two weapons. And remember, this are single-handed weapons so you generally be shooting in close- to mid-range so differences in the weapons' stats will be unnoticeable. Any weaknesses in one weapon will greatly be made up by the other. I see no difference in how quickly the weapons level up.

This means beams/kinetics fire 4 times per phase, though, and for some reason my memory is insisting that they only fire 3 times. Am I just crazy? I started playing during the alpha, did it used to be 3 rounds in a previous version? 2) I know defenses are per round, but how many rounds can missile defenses fire on missiles? Every round they're in flight or only the final round right before they hit? 3) What happens when incoming missiles have a higher evasion rating than my defense modules' interception rating? Do multiple defense modules tag team missiles? So if I had 3 flak modules, each with 5 interception rating, trying to counter 2 incoming missiles, both with 7 evasion rating, two flak modules would target the first missile and one would target the second missile, resulting in 1 missile shot down?

So I can just use that Iron Dagger trick to max out smithing, fight some Dragons quickly to get the required Dragon Bones/Plates, and then make my armor.

To remedy that, I saw another trick on YT - right after the dragon attack in Helgen, after you get a sword, you can just keep attacking Ralof/Hadvar, Wait to allow them to regain health, and repeat to get your One-Handed up. So, by doing all this (power-leveling Smithing and One-Handed) I should be able to get the Dragonplate armor after defeating the dragon in Whiterun's watch tower without screwing up myself.

One round in Loltraktor, a brief and painful adventure in G.Pz.Mk. IV, a brief hesitation between Wespe and Bison, and a breath of relief as I decided upon Wespe, primarily attracted by lean looks of Pz.Sfl.IVb. Despite slow reload times and slow aiming times, Wespe was a very nice vehicle because I could follow an enemy with the gun while waiting for the reticle to zero in, then shoot, turn the vehicle and repeat - about 40 degrees gun rotation freedom was very liberating after constantly losing focus with G.Pz.Mk. IV. That adventure lasted some, then came Pz.Sfl.IVb and it was even better. Reasonable reload times, even better aiming times and nearly 90 degrees turret turn angle! I could sit in one bush motionless and cover almost whole field with my fire! And then came Grille. Grille has about +/-5 degrees turret rotation angle before it has to turn whole. Poor reload times, poor aiming times (and ridiculously short distance of the first gun!), poor slug travel time - the only redeeming feature being reasonably strong second gun - if I hit, I hit hard. Still, hitting anything is nearly impossible. Let the numbers speak: my TEAM win ratio with Pz.Sfl.IVb is 59%. My TEAM win ratio with Grille is 40%. I guess this shows how utterly useless I am in combat with it. I know about \"X\" locking the vehicle movement, but I don't know how to use it efficiently; I mean it doesn't prevent the enemy from exiting my field of fire anyway. I know how to hide well, frequently I'm the last vehicle left... that is unless enemy scout drives into our team and makes me their team's first point. I know SPGs make very poor brawlers but I do know they can stand their ground against single, weaker vehicles - well, I can't. I think I survived a 1:1 encounter maybe two times total. Of course due to need to turn constantly my hiding ability suffers. But worst of all is landing a normal hit. So, I get the enemy into reticle. Nicely, snugly into the middle of field of fire. The reticle closes in, then the enemy vanishes or starts to move, and before I have the shot ready they are far. Or I zeroed in, and then they move while the absolutely sluggish slug flies there. Or they hide behind a cover. Another enemy comes, and I turn to them, the whole vehicle turns, and we begin the game of zeroing in again. With fast slugs, with ability to follow the opponent, I was a god. Currently I'm a nuisance to the team as they count on my support and it never comes. And from what I know, next one - Hummel - is about the same, as well as most of what is left in German Artillery. How to play this type of artillery efficiently? * * * Extra notes: I don't intend to buy gold. Too prone for slippery slope, pay once, pay forever. Currently the crew is 69%; another team is being schooled in Pz.Sfl.IVb to 100% to be transferred when maxed out. I have researched and bought all there was. I use extensions for faster reloading, faster aiming and better suspension (It was necessary to mount the better gun without earning even more XP on the abysmally bad first gun but if you recommend something else, I can remove it now. Anyway, with the constant turning the masking net is not nearly as useful as in two previous ones.)"} {"_id": "128795", "title": "Why won't my family move to a new house?", "text": "I am trying to move my husband and two daughters to my manor in Falkreath, Lakeview manor.

There seems to be no rhyme nor reason for that lag. It does not seem to be related to joining player\u2019s ping, or any players in particular (same players could cause this one day, and not another). We\u2019ve actually noticed that the same player could cause the server lag on some attempts to connect, but not on the others, all within minutes of each attempt. It does not seem to increase in frequency in relation with amount of players on the server (it can happen as often when there are five players, as when there are thirty). In order to solve the problem there was much fiddling done with the server, to no avail. We had tried to remove other servers from other cores (I know they at least ran a Minecraft server on the same box). We used to have a script running that would automatically load the proper map size based on the number of players currently on-line. We thought it was the culprit, but disabling it didn\u2019t help (besides, it works on other popular servers). Several PunkBuster checks were removed without apparent effect on the issue.

Does this ability exist in Starcraft 2? I found the configuration file (.../My Documents/Starcraft II/variables.txt) but I don't see a line I can modify to tell it to use OpenGL. I know that running the game on Mac requires you to use OpenGl and not DirectX, however, can I use the OpenGL library instead of DirectX9 on Windows? I don't know if the technical details of my problem will help, but here is what I hope to accomplish by using OpenGL. Currently I am running Windows programs on Ubuntu 13.04 using Wine 1.6-rc4. Prior to release of HoTS, Starcraft 2 actually ran (though choppy) making DirectX9 calls to Wine. However, since HoTS I'm stuck running at 0 fps when I try to play a mission (it's more like 1 frame per minute). I was able to get World of Warcraft to run smoothly by telling it to use OpenGL. My machine is rather old, using ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 integrated video card. AMD doesn't provide new linux drivers for legacy cards, the drivers that are currently on their site are compatible with outdated versions of x.org. So for the record, I am using OpenGL drivers. However, most new cards come with drivers that are compatible with OpenGL and DirectX9/10, so it wouldn't be too far a stretch to think Blizzard would give you the option to use OpenGL as it did with World of Warcraft. * * * Oh I forgot to mention, I followed the following directions from AppDB, I don't know if it did anything though: > Regedit video performance tweaks > > Some users report that the following registry edits can increase video > performance.

I have a Q9450 processor, 4 Gb RAM, a nVidia GTX680 card with 2gb of VRAM, I make my tests under Windows Vista 32 bits (tried also on a W7 64 bits, with the oblivion exe patched to use the 4 gb of RAM, running on an SSD, but that do not really change anything to the FPS, perhaps 1-2 more ones). I run the game at 2560x1440 noAA 16xFilter, HDR, Full details ON). I usually run FarCry 3 at this resolution with Max Details having about 30-50 FPS most of the time. The problem is : I have some strange FPS values on my Oblivion. I run it about 30 FPS most of the time, but for a strange reason, sometimes the FPS drops. And I found a place that can illustrate the problem, in Cheydinall, here : ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/bLaBE.jpg) In that place, I'm just looking at a wall, and my FPS drops to 12-13 FPS : ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jRm5G.jpg) Looking a bit up or down really increases the FPS : 29 FPS ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rmapJ.jpg) 59 FPS ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3YXHh.jpg) I don't understand what is the problem, can you hal pme to solve it ? For your information, I put my MOD list and my Oblivions.ini (I removed some unnecessary parts to match the SO nb characters limit for the question). I have tried to use OSR (configured as explained here) and Streamline, with no effect. I do not use streamline a lot because in landscapes, as far as I turn, the items in my back disapear, and they take a while to apper again when I turn back again. That give a very horrible effect of \"ghosty\" things (rocks, trees, ...). Perhaps some config may help to prevent this but I didn't find it. I tried to uninstall the QTP3 mods, and any MOD affecting cities with no real effect (perhaps won some 1-3 FPS). In the same city, in other places, I can reach 60 FPS. I tried to uninstall RAEVWD mods, near no effect, even if I have won 800 Geometry. Geometry do not seams to be the problem, as I can reach near 25-30 FPS outside with the same number of Geometry, even when I have the double. 24 FPS / 3800 geometry ![enter image description

Start them on my own (possibly changing ruler party so I can create them) or let capitalists do it. 2) How do I make them earn money? In my Brazil game, after a while and some conquests, I had 8 factories... After a government change, they all closed as they were not profitable. What can I do to help? 3) Tariffs/Taxes: Should I keep tariffs low (or negative) so factories and capitalists spend less to build stuff? or higher so I get money and then can lower taxes on capitalists so they build/invest in factories? 4) How does the stockpile work? Should I keep it at 50+ so factories can operate, or keep it low? I see most of it goes towards maintaining soldiers, so during peace should I lower it to like nothing? or does it affect factories?"} {"_id": "56736", "title": "What is the use of ravage/damage potions?", "text": "I don't understand the use of Ravage/Damage effects in the potions.

In order to ensure that the vassal (V) has the same religion as the overlord/player (O), one annexes and releases V right after as a vassal (that is, in the war result screen, one does not choose 'vassalize'). An important added benefit is that, _by and large_ , the released V will adopt O's state religion. However, the change in state religion is not true in the following case: if both the overlord and the vassal are in the same religious group (Sunni and Shia; Catholic and Orthodox; ...), and the overlord is, say, Catholic, but the vassal by nature Orthodox, the released vassal will be orthodox after release. However again, this last rule is modified as follows: if **_only** the capital of the released V is of O's state religion_, then the entire vassal is released as of O's state religion. So you can proceed as follows: (1) fully annex (2) convert the capital only (3) release as vassal with desired religion (and save coring and conversion for all provinces) My problem: how can you search _in game_ (or even online - I didn't see it in the wiki) what is the capital of a nation? I'm not asking about the crown you see on the top left of the city popup. You need to know what will be the capital of a nation _that doesn't even exist yet_ when you decide which province to convert. Note also that it is not enough to say \"the one province you cannot annex in the war result screen when you don't go for a full annex.\" Example, you might annex in one war provinces belonging to two future vassals which made up a larger nation. Sorry for the tldr, but it's a tricky situation I meant to describe fully.

I'm wondering if anyone can name this game, so that I can find out if this game, or any similar game, is available on another platform. The game consisted of a series of rounds, in which a stream of invading space ships would attempt to make it to earth. In order to defend the planet, each of the players (one to four) would place satellites for defense. Once placed, satellites could not be moved, though they could be upgraded or sold back. Satellites would automatically detect invading ships within their range and fire at them. Based on the hits satellites achieve, the player placing the satellite would can money with which you could buy or upgrade satellites.

It works fine, with the exception that while I am playing the Wii on the monitor, it occasionally blacks out temporarily. Its as if the monitor goes to sleep briefly while I'm playing my game! Aside from it being quite rude, it'll also make it quite difficult to play any kind of game that involves consistent action! Currently it hasn't caused too many difficulties because I've only been playing the very early stages of Fragile Dreams, but if I get much further it has the potential to become quite a nightmare, aside from being ridiculously annoying. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to solve this? It would be much appreciated! Thanks all! ~~~~~~~~~~ Edit With new information As asked in the comments, I tested a bit more today... It does not seem to be affected by whether I'm in a cutscene or in game, watching FMVs or running through menus. In fact, it seems utterly disconnected from gameplay at all! It also is inconsistent with how long between blackouts. The shortest I experienced was about a minute and a half, the longest was a bit over 5 minutes, between blackouts. When it blacks out, the screen completely turns black for a few seconds, as if I was switching input channels, then the screen returns to showing me my game. Quite frustrating! I watched the light on the power button as it blacked out, and there was no change - it was signalling that the monitor was still turned on. Does this give anyone any ideas? I think it _may_ be my monitor thinking that there is no display, and trying to find something on another channel, then giving up and returning to the one I manually selected, but I'm not sure (and can't find an option to try and stop it from thinking!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edit 2 I thought it may have been the VGA gender changer dongle thing that came with the cable, so I swapped that out for a longer VGA male to male adapter cable. It seems to have slowed down, but is still causing issues. This is getting ridiculously frustrating, I'm almost at the point of giving up on the Wii altogether over this!

After reading a number of guides and such I have come to find a few things. 1. It's possible to replace a drive in the 360. 2. In order to have the replacement drive work correctly (read: work at all), it must have the same lock code. 3. In order to have the disk drives share the same lock codes, one method of doing this is to swap one of the internal boards from the broken drive to a new, replacement drive. 4. There is another method involving getting the lock code itself out of the broken drive and putting it in the working drive. This, by contrast, is done by connecting the drives to a PC and doing something to each of them to transfer the code. Now, in this whole process, I have already gone so far as to order the replacement drive and rip it apart to try to transfer the board. Much to my surprise, the board in this particular bad drive was non-separate-able from the board. The boards were physically soldered to each end of a wire. I opened the good drive to confirm, and it too was soldered together. So I was left with #4 up there. After more research, I found that you need SATA cables and a PC that can handle it, plus some software. I haven't really found anything too much more specific than that. However... I did find that the same method to transfer the lock code is also potentially used to make the xbox read burned media... Just, instead of putting in your broken drive's lock code, you put in some pre-prepared file or some such stuff. * * * I want to make it clear at this point that I **do not want** the drive to read burned media.

Second, if it **is** legal, how would I accomplish this?

This will be hard, because I need to control at least half the country, and it might be hard to conjure up that many CBs before I die. **Even then, can I lower the crown authority when it's not my main title?** * Give away all my English lands to a dynasty member (preferably my heir) before I die. In theory, this would give me more time to build up an English powerbase. * Ignore England for now, and focus on Scotland and Wales. When those are secured, I could possibly start pushing for an Emperor title. * Have the English king excommunicated, which may give me a free CB (right?) \u2013 however, this is highly unlikely in my situation. My second problem is, even if I did manage to become King of England and change their crown authority, my sources inform me their succession law is actually _seniority_ \u2013 so that would need to be changed as well, and as far as I know, you can't change two crown laws in one reign.

It's easy for one of them to deal with my units, and one of them to take out my pylons very quickly. * There are more options for the opponent to see high ground: hallucinated colossus, overloards, or because the army is so big, just running straight up the ramp. For example I just lost to a 6-minute marine+roach attack on Monlyth Ridge. We scouted and knew it was coming, but I don't know what we could have done to stop it. They killed my pylons while I tried to hold them off, thus I couldn't reinforce, thus they didn't even have to kill my base before going to kill my ally. The typical answer to holding on in a 2v2 game when one ally is dying is: **Die as slowly as possible**. This is excellent later in the game, but against decent opponents at about 6-8 minutes, this isn't very powerful / possible because: 1. I have very few units to distract them with. 2. My map coverage & economy is not enough to start building dark templar or other surprise tech. 3. This early, they have a very clear idea of what options I have, so they are not afraid to just march into my base. 4. Luring them away from the base is too risky; without any defense in my base they will run in and kill production / economy. 5. Once they kill my production (which doesn't take long), they don't need to bother killing my buildings. They can march straight to the ally's base. They only need to keep a couple units in my base to prevent me from advancing. My 2v2 team tends to win as long as we can hold off 6-8 minute rushes. Here are some ideas but I would like to hear your comments before I throw away lots of games experimenting: * More sentries for forcefield. The advantage is this doesn't cost much of a compromise to my build as I can build them just as I build any other gateway unit. However, it only delays the inevitable and doesn't allow me to ramp up my production. It also prevents me from helping my ally if they go to him. So I am pretty scared to use FF in this scenario. * Hallucination. They won't have detection at this point, and if they arrive at my front door and see 2 immortals and 6 stalkers, they may just run away. If not, it could absorb enough of their fire to buy us more time than a force field. * Turtle. My ally and I prefer longer games so we just want to be able to hold off rushes. So should we do it decisively by turtling hard? Especially on Monlyth Ridge, could it be that doing a forge-first opening and quick-ish expand is the best way to fend off their early attacks? The idea would be to sacrifice early units, put all resources into defense and benefit from a healthier economy and play the game on our terms. But I am not sure static defense is strong enough for rushes like this anyway, and it's a lot of investment. So, how does a 2v2 team defend against rushes like this as the different race options? **[Update, after accepting Sorean's answer]:** I want to say how I integrated Sorean's answer into my thinking and on the ladder. I think you can boil the issues down to **joining armies at your base means giving up defensive advantages we're used to in 1v1**. These advantages boil down mostly to positioning / base geography. Without that issue, for example on Discord IV, the defense strategy is the same as 1v1. So the response is that, if you want to compensate for the disadvantage, then you'll need to **emphasize more heavily the defensive capabilities of your race in a 2v2 defense**. Fortunately Blizzard has given enough options to make up for the disadvantage in 2v2 (I think...). Note that I really don't know much about Zerg or Terran, but I'll try to list this: 1. For Protoss: 1. Sentries with force field - if you can't completely block the opponent, you can at least choke them into a more favorable position. 2. Cannons, though usual cautions apply for these costly defenses. But in some defensive positions cannons can be favored over units for the amount of damage they deal, and they are useful later in the game to detect burrowed units / dark templar. 2. For Zerg: 1. Static defense (but usual cautions still apply of course). Zerg can benefit even better because of being able to move static defense. 2. Creep 3. Queens with transfuse. Think spanishiwa and how he manages to defend with almost no units against a 4-gate. 3. For Terran: 1. Bunkers 2. Siege tanks. Because siege tanks can arrive earlier in the game than anything else with such a long range, they are great for defending main / natural bases. 3. Supply depots. Not sure if this really deserves to go on this list, but the ability to raise / lower a supply depot can be so useful in making building positioning work in your favor, and out of the opponents' favor. We are starting to experiment, putting the 2nd supply depot in the protoss base if we're walling in."} {"_id": "22020", "title": "What's the purpose of the Father in Fallout 3?", "text": "I don't understand his goals or motives.

My party members are all level 28-30 and have equipment and magic that I have been able to purchase since Chapter IV (e.g. Siege Bow, Baldur Daggers, Brigandine, Heal III). All of the enemies scale to be the same level as your party, and I've noticed that their equipment, skills and magic seem to be related to their level. This means that the enemies are using weapons like 'Frost Bow', 'Wyrmscale' armor and spells like Judgement III while I'm stuck with the equipment I got almost 10 levels ago. It's not getting difficult yet, but I imagine that if I continue to level up, the enemies will eventually have access to things that I can't keep up with.

As noted in the comments it may be very hard to give a definitive answer to this question, this is why I rephrased so I'm not asking for a _formula_ , but merely for _whether a factor plays a role or not_ (factors like being in the area or not, participation time, doing damage, etc). If there's no official word about this, then it should still be possible to find an answer through experimentation (e.g. doing the same event twice once _with_ the factor and once _without_ ). **Update:** after re-reading the comment to this question I realize that this question is still a bit too broad, even after my earlier changes. There's easily 10 to 15 potential factors, and 8+ different event types, making for 80 to 120 things to test for. Changing the question to be about just one event type _might_ make it answerable, but would change the meaning too much. The question's interesting (at least, to me) nonetheless, so I welcome any improvements to make it more answerable.

Sometimes I hit the monster when I meant to move, and sometimes I move when I meant to hit the monster. Looking carefully, it almost looks like the monster hitbox is defined by the square of floor that it's occupying rather than the monster's model itself. Is this correct?

(This is a reduced testcase. In my case the situation is more complex; there is a queue of stones blocked, waiting until needed. A piston pushes a block out of the front of that queue on demand, and the location after the removed block should immediately fill as soon as the \"on demand\" piston retreats.

The tesseracts are set correctly with their settings, sending side set to sending on frequency 1 and receiving end set to receive on frequency 1. I know they both work because if I hook up a single chest with items required by the receiving line of machines, it works fine. So I know the receiving side works just fine. The sending side of the Tesseract, with one chest, works fine. But as soon as I connect a second chest with different items in it not currently required by the receiving side, it no longer works properly and the entire system gums up and then shuts down sending any items at all. So Chest->TE ItemDucts->Tesseract Works And Chestx2->TE ItemDucts->Tesseract Works when items in both chests have a destination on the receiving side. But Chestx2->TE ItemDucts-Tesseract does not work when one item is not required or is full by the receiving sides machines. Sending Side: 3 chests, bonemeal, bloodwood saplings, lettuce seeds. Example ... Farm 1 requires: Bonemeal and Saplings, Farm 2 requires Bonemeal and Lettuce Seeds. When the first farm is full on saplings and both farms are full on bonemeal, but still needs lettuce seeds, the entire system gums up from sending anything else and the ends of the ItemDucts become stuffed and nothing will move from any chest even if it is or becomes required on the other side. Ideally, I am looking for a way to have all my farms supplies hooked up to one tesseract sending point, where each farm will receive the items it needs via its tesseract. But because not all the farms do not receive the same items, it does not work as the sending side gums up as the pipes become stuffed. Note: I have tried setting the sending side to Send&Receive and put pipes from the tesseract back into the chest to try and manager the overflow issue, but it does not work either. Can you help me with this issue? Why wont my tesseract pull from a needed chest when another chest of items not needed is present on the line?"} {"_id": "173100", "title": "Help with GTA V", "text": "For some reason, I was doing bail missions but when I was done with them, I don't know what to do.

There are 4 races in FEZ: * _Visitors_ - these appear as floating heads with 3 eyes and 3 tentacles. * _Long-heads_ - these have long heads and one eye, they're only seen in pictures. * _Big-heads_ - you can talk to these but they have a different language. * Gomez's species - only seen in the starting village. Firstly, according to a blackboard in a classroom in Gomez's village: ![Evolution of Gomez](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rJt78.jpg) It looks like the long-heads and big-heads are ancestors of Gomez's people. I think that the long-heads were primitive ancestors that lived purely in 2D: * Their village is flat and the rooms there cannot be rotated. * They hunted animals (shown by one wall) and worshipped owls (shown by another), possible because the owls could see in 3D already. ![Owl mural](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7DrSI.jpg) The big-heads are harder to figure out, and I think visiting them might involve some time travel. There are two big-head villages: * _Under construction village_ - this is populated and covered with scaffolding. It has the working stargate in it. * _Ruined village_ - this is empty and overgrown, but almost identical. I think that these are the same village before and after a catastrophe: * The populated village has a working stargate and a mural room that shows the visitors giving the stargate to the big-heads. ![Primitive big-heads](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AR0Cy.jpg) ![Visitors arrive through gate](http://i.stack.imgur.com/hY3XL.jpg) ![Visitors give stargate to big-heads](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uEmzK.jpg) ![Big-head king has 3rd eye and stargate](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ceeH7.jpg) * The classroom in that village shows a visitor holding the number 3, implying that visitors showed the big-heads about the third dimension too. * The ruined village has a mural that shows the stargate being built and then in its destroyed state. * The ruined village's stargate is destroyed by the space-holes, perhaps implying that's how they've come into the world? I think the visitors and the owls are related somehow, but I'm not sure how? Were the visitors destroyed by the same catastrophe? If I'm right about the time travel then Gomez is going back in time to complete the game, and it's possible that in doing so he causes the disaster that destroys the big-head village.

Crashes as in the entire scene gets red lines. I can not `ALT + TAB` back or even `CTRL + ALT + DEL` either. My only recourse is a hard reset via the power button. Can not take a screen shot either. I have the latest Forceware 296.10 drivers also. This has been happening since the last 2 weeks. I always use Driver Sweeper to clean my old drivers, since that is what XFXForce recommends before installing new drivers. I installed MSI Afterburner lately to see my GPU temperature. My GPU is default, never over-clocked it. In MSI's Afterburner, I can not adjust fan speed. It is greyed out. Also in settings there is no fan tab. With normal Internet browsing it stays at 51 C. Ran Memtest86 over night with level 11. Took about 13 hours, but no errors in my RAM. I even re-installed my OS, with just the 296 drivers. The fan for the GPU does come on. I can play Diablo 2. I can not get past Warcraft 3's menu selection. There WAS some dust in my machine, but I always try and keep everything clean, since in my home town dust is an issue. Always keep cool my entire PC cabinet. My friend came with his functioning graphics card, we bought our PCs at the same time with exact same specifications. His card did not work either. Same problem with the scene freezing with red lines. I did do my research before posting here. That is how I was able to learn about MSI Afterburner, Driver Sweeper, SpeedFan etc. I followed posts on Tom's Hardware too regarding people that had similar problems. One person suggested and was followed by worked as well the suggestion to \"Bake the card in an oven\".

The following tactics seem to NOT work: 1. Run away in hyperspace: \"No upgrades yet\" means that Probes are at least as fast as your ship is in hyperspace, so you seemingly can't outrun them without moving 100% straight line, for LONG distances (which I can't yet afford due to fuel limitations). 2. Escape every fight once it's joined Not very optimal as it costs 5 fuel per escape (and several crewmen while the probe hits you since escape isn't instantaneous). 3. Try to fight every single probe that attacks you. But how? * your main ship The cannon is too weak and ship's turning too slow to use the main ship to fight. * an Earth Cruiser Seems too slow to keep distance, and the probe easily evades the missiles. * a single Spathi ship No plausible tactics I can think of * 4 Pkunk Furies. Marginally effective, but I can't get anywhere better than trading 2-3 Furies per one probe with my tactics. NOT scalable.

That's undamaged. One thing I noticed is this: when I plug the power adapter into the wall socket, its status light is orange. Only when I power the console does it turn green. Microsoft's online troubleshooter is unclear about whether this is correct or whether it's supposed to be green all the time.

I've made a simple circuit that clocks removing exactly one item from the chest, feed it to a dispenser and have the dispenser \"dispense it\" before further actions are taken. What I want: I load the chest with a sequence of two or more types of items, and get redstone signal on selected output when given item in sequence is of specific type. Say, I load it with \"arrow, cobble, cobble, arrow, arrow\" and on five consecutive \"clock pulses\" of my redstone clock I'm getting \"1, 0, 0, 1, 1\" on redstone output of the whole circuit. Now there's a problem with actually converting the item type to a specific redstone signal. I'm fairly aware there are rather few items that could be used for that, and almost none to do that at reasonable speed, or can be easily removed for another item. * I can dispense items that drop as entities onto a hopper and it will send redstone signal when the item passes through. * I could dispense minecarts on a piece of rail - and then use detector rail and cart re-collector (cactus+water+hopper) to retrieve them. * I could shoot arrows at wooden buttons. Five minutes to despawn. * I could dispense water or lava and recognize which it is by testing its reach, but getting rid of it will be a pain in the neck. The dispenser would need to retrieve them into a bucket then and then the bucket would need to be pulled out by a different hopper. This becomes hopelessly convoluted.

That makes the space very limited around these towers, so your placement is important to maximize job discovery, but there doesn't seem to be any successful strategy to business placement, even with combos double stacked it doesn't help profitability much. Moreover, there is pressure to bulldoze existing buildings, so you can use that spot for a new business in order to discover jobs. When you find jobs it costs money to retrain EACH your citizens to the new jobs, one at a time. Then, you need stacks of cash and resources to research the new buildings in the game. Then, you have to build them, more cost. Then, they probably fail, so you have to bullzode and try something else, more cash. And you have to research new building styles to replace the old ones.

This was one of the big draws for me towards Empire: Total War, the chance to finally control some of those battles that I've always had to just heavily-outnumber-and-autocalc before. However this is posing a problem for me. After several attempts I finally found that in order to win reliably you have to either outweigh your foe, or use broadsides; the latter requires insane levels of micromanagement. And even then, a superior ship or superior numbers almost always wins anyways. On land I can win some pretty absurd battles through careful deployment and cavalry charges to the flank (works like a charm); no such luck at sea. And the auto- calc function causes me to suffer terrible losses, on the order of 3/7 ships, plus damage to the rest, to sink 1 of 2 and drive the other off, despite the individual ships being equivalent. Is there a trick to winning naval engagements and controlling the seas? It's becoming quite a problem - there's a rather large fleet that keeps sailing up and down my coast, wrecking my shipyards, blockading my shipping routes, and playing absolute havoc with my economy. I'd like them gone.

The vertical charging discrepancy was not conclusively proven in my mind, but I think such cheating would be equally likely as the horizontal charging. ## Possibilities: I think the possibilities in terms of increasing complexity (and thus perhaps decreasing likelihood, based on Occam's Razor.) * The computer had a simple timer that prevented throwing the attack more than 2 seconds apart. * The computer has a directional key model, was carrying out the attacks with perfect charge timing, and I am simply wrong (but I doubt it!) * The computer had a disconnected directional key model allowing it to simultaneously press forward and back. * The computer would initially follow the rules (for easy difficulty levels) and begin to break them to increase the difficulty level. ## Question: Does the computer AI player cheat?

Across the SW:TOR forums, people say to maximize experience, do orange level quests (quests at a higher level than you). But, because of experience devaluation, does this actually affect how much experience I gain from those quests? Example: Mission A yields 5000 XP upon completion at level 25. But, at level 26, it yields only 4000 XP. This would seem to indicate that it would grant me a greater bonus at level 25. But, from level 25 to 26, everything suffers a 20% experience drop. I can't defeat the same mobs for the same amount of experience; they've dropped from 100 XP to 80 XP. The game has obscured the fact that it has both increased the experience you require to make it to the next level (100K for level 25, 120K for level 26), but also decreased the experience you receive from everything, essentially doubling the actual effort increase for levelling (100K to 120K, but decreasing your gains by 20% means levelling would require 150K XP at the level 25 XP \"value\"). So, completing Mission A, you still gain 5000 XP at the level 25 value; but, converting it to the level 26 value, you see a 4000 XP gain. Does it work this way I have described, or do you in fact gain more equivalent XP for higher level quests (e.g. 5000 XP at level 25, 3500 XP at level 26 with only a 20% devaluation of XP, meaning you only gain 4375 level-25-equivalent XP)?

What is a _weak dead body_? _A more powerful dead body_? _A powerful dead body_? etc.?** Skyrim classifies creatures and NPCs into generic classes as enumerated on the pages below: List of Creatures (from UESP) List of Generic NPCs (from UESP) Within each of these classes, there is also a breakdown of more powerful types of those classes that are added as the player levels. So within the Bandit class, there is the initial Bandit, then the Bandit Outlaw, then the Bandit Thug, etc. From this information, it seems apparent that the _weak_ , _more powerful_ , and _powerful_ descriptions may be related to the type within each creature or NPC class as the types themselves do not scale to the player's level with the exception of boss-types. The Reanimate spells' qualifications of power may relate to class as well.

To optimize magicka consumption, it would be useful to know the minimum level of reanimation spell necessary for a given class and type of enemy. So, **what is the minimum level of reanimation spell needed for each type of each creature and NPC class?** It would be nice if there were a set of general rules such as \"regardless of class of creature or NPC, if they appear after the player is between levels X and Y, then you need at least the level Z conjuration spell\" or \"these classes of NPCs and creatures all need at least the level Z conjuration spell.\""} {"_id": "20329", "title": "Fastest way to make money in GTA IV multiplayer?", "text": "I've been reading a lot about money-making schemes in GTA IV multiplayer, and everyone seems to believe something different works best.

For example, a high kick may hit first time, again the second time but by the third the AI has \"wised up\" and blocks the identical move. Is it the case that the AI in these sort games is programmed to learn the player's moves, and persist this learned information _between_ games. For example, if I am a player who is keen on flying kicks, will the game learn that fact and tailor its future tactics to combat my preference for flying kicks? As an extension to that, would it therefore help get through a single player campaign on one of these games by swapping to a different human [when stuck on a level], with different tactics in order to \"confuse\" the game, or could the AI perhaps be able to track the behaviour of more than one human?"} {"_id": "66693", "title": "Why can't I get Zombie Pigmen to spawn?", "text": "I have spent the last several days making a Zombie Pigman Grinder/Gold Farm. this is on Minecraft SMP, and so this took a while.

To handle Walkers I usually get them to bunch up by walking backwards in front of them and alternating slows and grenades. With a couple of mortar towers that works well. If there are Chargers or Runners with them then the tactic works for those groups as well. Since the tactic for Tanks and Soakers is to keep them separated so that Lightning/Gatling/Scatter Laser towers hit all of them it throws things off, but I've found that if I just let the walkers get through the first turn or two of my maze before clumping them then they have enough of a lead on the slow moving Tanks or Soakers that they don't start to get bunched with them and I can finish off those guys at the end. The Big Walkers move faster than the Walkers though, so I can't use that tactic. Any suggestions?

In comparison, pigs have 250 HP and do 33 dmg, don't need food (unless you want them to follow you around). Smallish Tallbirds have 300 HP and do 50 dmg, but they require 60 food per day, each, which can be a nuisance. Pigs are better for this follower role, because they're ready to fight right off the bat, no need to wait 11 days. Why would I want to spend so much time and resources to hatch a Tallbird egg?"} {"_id": "96122", "title": "Alter railroad production boost via rules.txt", "text": "I generally enjoy altering some of the variables in Civilization II's \"rules.txt\" to give a variety to gameplay.

Is there anything from preventing me from spotting 60 times a second? If there's a cooldown is it different after a successful spot vs a failed spot? Is there any way to measure the cooldown precisely? I've tried testing it various ways and can't really figure it out; it kind of feels to me like maybe there's a 1s cooldown only after a successful spot. Battlefield 3 is generally assumed to have a spotting cooldown although I've never seen a source for exactly how long it was.

However, Tin Cable can only withstand 5 EU/t; no problem, just upgrade my Electrical Engines with a Small Curcuit Board containing an Iron Electron Tube, which reduces the power required by 1 EU/t. So I built two Electric Engines, and gave them both a Small Curcuit Board upgrade with Iron Electron Tube. I connected them to a Logger and Arboretum, and then wired up some Tin Cable from an LV transformer pulling off of my main power storage. As soon as I placed the last cable, the whole cable exploded and disappeared! Isn't the EU/t based on what is being requested on the far end, which should be 5 EU/t?

Are the high-credit-priced additional equipment items required for effective scouting/spotting purposes? Does everyone run camo nets and binocs, even at tier II? Or is there a mechanic I am missing? My ideal answer would include someone breaking it down bit by bit, complete with example if possible. EDIT: Players in-game have told me that a player parked in bushes does NOT receive the same penalty to sight range as a player who is in the open would to see him.

CPU overclocking - proved to not be the case, as resetting clocks to stock values does nothing to help the issue. Having OC'ed my CPU a couple of days ago, the possibility had made me worried. 2.

Recent research has shown that the TSV is calculated as `TID XOR SID >> 4`, that is, the 12 most significant bits of the bitwise XOR operation applied to the OT's TID and SID. The ESV is calculated in a similar fashion based on the Pok\u00e8mon's PID. Using this information, the above Gen VI shiny check algorithm can be reformulated as such: > 1. Use the bitwise XOR operation on the 16-bit Trainer ID and 16-bit > Secret ID, this results in a combined 16-bit OT-ID. > 2. Use the bitwise XOR opeartion on the High Byte and Low Byte of the > 32-bit Pok\u00e9mon ID, this results in a combined 16-bit P-ID. > 3.

In other > words, if the 12 most significant bits are all 0, the Pok\u00e9mon is shiny. > By now, you probably guessed where this is going. Let's say I have a Pok\u00e9mon on a Gen V game whose Shiny Value in step 3 is between 8 and 15. This means that the first 12 bits are all 0 and the 13th bit is 1, resulting in a **non-shiny Pok\u00e9mon**. If I use Pok\u00e9Transporter to transfer this Pok\u00e9mon to Pok\u00e9mon Bank and thus Gen VI, the shiny check will notice that the first 12 bits of the Shiny Value are 0 (or rather, it will calculate TSV and ESV and notice they're the same) and conclude that **the Pok\u00e9mon is shiny!** Unless of course Pok\u00e9Transporter checks for this case and changes the PID in case it occurs. **Can anyone confirm or disprove this behaviour?** The implications are very interesting, by the way. Depending on when and how exactly this check happens in relation to the legality check, this loophole could possibly be used to circumvent the \"no shiny\" rule on Reshiram and Zekrom in Gen V as well as on event Pok\u00e9mon, who are usually unavailable as shinies."} {"_id": "177176", "title": "Ultrastrike levels and their effect on mods", "text": "What's the effect of Ultrastrike levels?

The problem is that when one of the needed resources is filled to capacity, the ship supplying that resource just gives up on its manual trade run. It does this because it cannot unload all of the resources it is hauling. This in effect cancels the manual trade run order and puts the ship into an idle state. Instead of being smart about it and waiting until my station uses up enough of the resource to allow the ship to unload its wares, the script just ends and the ship sits idle at the station. There has to be some way for me to automate the delivery of resources to my station from some (far away) station using one or more of my ships. It's a pain in the butt to have to sit there and constantly issue manual trade runs, because ships give up so easily when they can't complete the delivery due to not enough space.

How can I disable the machine sounds from IC2? My IC2 version is industrialcraft-2_1.116.364-lf, it is the most updated version of IC2 I'm aware of that I can use in my modpack (minecraft version 1.5.2), which is primarily **Unhinged** (some other mods added) Edit: I have since updated LWJGL incase that was the issue, it is not. The only way to 'fix' this I can find is to disable the sounds, and I cannot find how to do that. Edit2: I found a post on a forum that mentions disabling the sounds in the 'Advanced Machines' .cfg file. It says to do it by putting a **#** in front of several lines in the config to 'comment the lines out'. I understand this method, it's simple enough and isn't the first time I've had to do something like this. What I do is take the server offline, edit the config, and start the server back up. The issue now is that when I start the server back up, the config file _reverts back to its original state_. I have never had a config file behave this way and am completely stumped on how to prevent this from happening. I'm fairly sure that if I can get the config file to keep its edits, then the problem will be fixed. Any ideas? Edit3: I've figured out I was going about disabling the Advanced Machine sounds incorrectly, I have properly disabled them now, however the bug persists. Edit4: Some forum posts stated that lowering graphics to 'fast' from fancy or disabling sound from minecraft in its options works. Neither of these solutions work for me. I have also attempted disabling all sound from Gravisuite and that didn't work either. It is probably worth mentioning that I've been playing without changing anything in my files\\settings for weeks without issue, and this has suddenly cropped up out of nowhere."} {"_id": "152699", "title": "What armors come with the Falskaar mod?", "text": "## Images?

One day I was doing a Zelda related search and accidentally spelled her name Fayore, and noticed that I wasn't the only one who had thought it was spelled with a Y. For example, there's this thread on a message board, but no one can find any sources that spell it fayore, and if you do a google search for Fayore there are a ton of other one off matches. It seems like a lot of people at one point or another have misspelled the name as Fayore. That's a little too coincidental for me to think it's just poor spelling or poor memory on everyone's part. Is there any place in any of the Zelda games (Most likely OoT) that actually refer to Farore as Fayore? I figure there has to be, somewhere, in some version of one of the games.

On EA's own FAQ for the game, I found the following quote in regards to the availability of the N7 inspired armor in the game (the last sentence is phrased badly on the source as well): > Your N7 armour in Reckoning is unlocked automatically with your online pass, > available in all new copies of Reckoning, or by purchasing the Reckoning > online pass on PSN, XBL . It unlocks with automatically with your PC > registration code on Origin or Steam. This possibly hints that there is no need for unlocking the online pass protected content on a new PC copy, but sadly the above is far from an explicit statement on the matter (all other mentions on the FAQ regarding the online pass are Xbox/PS3 centric). So, how does one unlock the online pass content on the PC (specifically, with a Steam copy), if that is at all required? Also, if such unlocking is indeed implicit, what is my online pass bound to?

What is this duration? To illustrate what I mean, here's a makeshift graph of 1-base production versus a 1-base into expansion production: ![cool graph](http://i.stack.imgur.com/v2sYa.png) My question is: How long is that green line? How can you measure it / calculate it? The paragraph-style description of the graph is: While you save for the expo, your army is not getting stronger. When you build the expo, you can continue to produce on 1-base, but you will be behind the cost of the expo. Once the expo is up, your income will gradually increase, allowing production to accelerate. At some point the acceleration will elevate you past the point you would have been if you stayed on one base. I have a very hard time sensing this moment in the game. It's easy to feel when income increases, but hard to know when the expo actually led to a stronger army relative to if you hadn't expanded. There are a lot of factors that influence the answer of course, but they can be ignored as follows: * What race are you? For example if you're terran, you can benefit just by building an orbital command and summoning MULEs. Or just double-producing SCVs. _Assume building right at the expo location as this is more general. If you're protoss, assume that you build a pylon at the expo, but that you needed it anyway so it's not really a cost of expanding._ * Will you need gas geysers? _Ignore gas, because the geysers cost minerals but return gas, and cannot be compared. It would be a separate graph entirely._ * How many workers can you transfer, how saturated was the base where they're coming from, how far is the transfer? _Assume transferring a practical handful of 5-8 workers. If you are transferring more, then there's not much question: you apparently NEED to expand regardless of the return, because you're over-saturated._ * How many resources are remaining in your other bases? _similar to the last item, if you are desperate to expand, then it's not really necessary to calculate when it will be advantageous_ * Unit producing structures you must create in order to . _This could actually be considered as part of the cost to expand, however it can also be ignored because the goal here is only to find point 4 (on the graph). Beyond that is not so important, because you know you're benefitting._ So the idea is to get a general sense of \"+/-30 seconds, how long is this duration?\" I think this would be helpful making in-game decisions, calculating riskiness of expanding (balancing need versus risk of being attacked during the green line), for developing new builds and considering FE, or making in-game adaptations.

I tried plugging into HDMI 4, but picture was blurry and came in and out (maybe HDMI 4 has different decoding, I don\u2019t know).

I have sound sent to my receiver with composite rcas. Sound from tv to receiver while watching tv is crystal clear. \u2018Jiggling\u2019 HDMi cable has no effect on sound (still static) or picture (still great) quality. I tried connecting through 2 other HDMI cables in 2 different ports on the tv with no change in sound quality (still static). Plugging my optical cable directly from XBOX to receiver has zero issues (sound is great). I have yet to try another tv as I don\u2019t have one with HDMi. I also haven\u2019t tried composite, s-video, or component yet. I have yet to try a different game or a movie. My TV is a 46\u201d Samsung a650 LCD. It is 3.5 years old. Just before this started happening, the TV did something random. While playing XBOX, it decided to change input back to TV (through analog wire, no set top box). After I changed it back, a few minutes later the settings menu for the TV randomly popped up. I then closed it and turned off the TV and waited a few minutes. After turning it back on, 20 mins later the TV auto shut off. I turned it back on and another 20 mins later it auto shut off again. I waited a few more mins, then turned it back on, and since it has not done any of these things. The static sound started a couple hours after this. I thought it might be the XBOX itself, but it\u2019s been working for months and the sound through optical is great. I also thought it might be my TV, but the sound is crackling on every HDMI port.

How can I deal with this problem? For instance, one of the machines require 2 electric circuits, some redstone, and other parts. The redstone slots are at 64 all the time, while the circuit slots in the automatic crafting table are at 1-2, meaning I over-produce redstone for this particular part of the factory. Redstone is easy to deal with, but I also have this problem with other parts. I notice that the energy condensers that produce the raw materials (through energy collectors) just fill up and stay full, is there a way to set up retrievers or what not to pull in what is needed instead of pumping them out continously from the energy condensers?

What happens is, I make a deal of selling power to a neighbour town, and immediately this deal gets cut off, and I'm bankrupt. But I know I have plenty of excess power to sell. Additionally, apart from the penalty I get (for apparently being the culprit of the cut-off deal), my finances window shows another (similar) amount that I have to pay for at the end of the year (shown in the 'neighbour deals' row), but this amount gets added at another time than the penalty for the broken deal. This has happened several times in a row. * * * According to the game's pie chart, I am using `708.000 MW-h` of power a year, and all my power plants show they use 29% of their max. capacity. `(708.000/29 * 100) - 708.000 = 1.733.379 MW-h = the other 70% of excess power`. The neighbour deal is about me selling `50.000 MW-h` a month, so obviously I can spare that amount of power. I read something online about this, saying that the cause may be a shortage of power cables going to the neighbour town. But I installed 6 extra power cables (connecting with the respective neighbour), and my last deal was a selling of about `40.000 MW-h`, where I had only 1 power cable. So an additional 6 should be quite enough. * * * **Does anyone know what can solve this issue?** I have to fix this right away, or there's no point in continuing the game, as I'm completely broke. ## **Edit:** I've found that (at least a part of) the problem lies withing the distribution of my power. My city has a river in the center, and is built around this river on both sides. Just now, I found out that, for some reason, the power for the neighbour deal is only subtracted from power plants on just one side of the river. This causes my power plants to run at full capacity for a while (even though the deal is cancelled the very first second). I've now built a bridge over the river, with power cable towers next to the bridge on both sides of the river. But it doesn't seem to make any difference. **Does anyone know if the power _should_ get distributed by default, or otherwise how to make it distribute some other way?** Whether this works like it's supposed to or not, there is another part of the bug; after the deal gets cancelled, when I remove the power connection to the respective neighbour, the mayor of that town notifies me of the cancellation, and **again** I get a penalty/fine.

I decided on Sejuani since she has a little bit of CC (Q and Slows and after Lv6 Ultimate), I thought she'd be able to peel moderately while still dishing out damage. Pros: * Can deal more damage than Leona * At Lv6 She can shutdown hyper carries that try to go after your ADC or other important targets. * Ultimate's stun is more reliable as it is slightly faster to stun and it slows just like Leona's ultimate. Cons: * Not quite as tanky as Leona (negligible in my opinion, due to Sej Passive). * Engaging is slightly more difficult as Sej's Q is shorter range than Leona's E. * Only one stun (Not huge since Sej's Q knocks up enemies). My Sej Build (so far): I start with Relic and just play Passive Aggressive. I avoid taking unnecessary damage until I feel we have an opening then I go in. Fights before Lv.6 haven't gone terribly well, but not awful either. Once I hit Lv.6 it becomes an easy kill every 2 minutes or so. I've even stunned 4/5 enemies and slowed the 5th with Sej ult (something I've never even come close to doing with Leona).

What are the common terms used when talking about StarCraft 2 strategies and playstyles, and what do they mean? Here are a compilation of the answers: * **Build Order** : A rough plan for which structures and units to get in the early part of a game. Build order's seldom extend past engagement with the enemy, but will sometimes account for likely transitions later in the gam. * **Economy** : The units, structures and positioning used for gathering Minerals/Vespene Gas (or any other resource in other RTSes) * **Macro** : The process of continually producing offensive units, or the unit producing structures that allow you to make those units. * **Micro** : The process of precisely controlling the units of an attack force to do the most damage possible. For instance, this could be focus firing on high value units in the opposing army, or moving ranged units just out of range of melee units. * **Unit Composition** : the different types of attack units in an army. An army is said to have good unit composition if the different types of units synergise well together, each one covering the shortcomings of the other. * **Transition** or **Tech Switch** : changing the unit composition of your army to adapt to your opponent's weaknesses. * **Map control** : Being in a position strategically where you are able to move your units and get view of a larger area of the map than your opponent. Having Map control is advantageous because it allows you respond to enemy troop movements before they reach your vulnerabilities, and deny your opponent's expansions while having free access to them yourself. * **Meatball** : Marine Marauder Medivacs combination * **Tier** : Units in which level of tech * **Going** Tech: going for tier 1.5 - 2 - 3 units * **Rax** : Short for barracks an early Terran structure for producing infantry * **Gate** : Short for Gateway or Warpgate, and early Protoss unit producing structure * **Pool** : Short for Spawning Pool, the building required for Zerg to build Zerglings * **Ovi** : Short for Overlord, a unit which supplies Zerg Acronyms: * **gl** : \"Good Luck\" * **hf** : \"Have Fun\" * **gg** : \"Good Game\". This is the usual way to concede defeat. * **mmm** : See Meatball above * **T** : Terran * **Z** : Zerg * **P** : Protoss"} {"_id": "5402", "title": "Where can I find \"casts\" of BroodWar games?", "text": "I really enjoy watching Starcraft 2 battles, and I'm currently playing Starcraft I.

Reading the descriptions of the various powers, it seems that Agility would be helpful for the greater jump height, but Possession would be helpful to crawl through small spaces as a rat...but I don't know how many small places there will be versus how many high places. Also, Possession II would allow me to walk enemies into lonely areas so that I could dispatch them more easily...but I don't know if I'm going to have enough runes and mana to make that strategy viable anytime soon. **In the early game, which is more useful to a stealth-based character, the extra jump height granted by Agility or the ability to travel through small spaces and relocate enemies granted by Possession?**"} {"_id": "172385", "title": "Missing one unlockable item on Level 1-3 \"Flounder's Jump & Jive\"", "text": "Missing ONE item on the level \"Flounder's Jump & Jive\".

The first one espouses the much-credited idea that to improve your mob spawning area you must light up all the caves around it. This is built on the assumption that when the game goes to spawn a monster, it looks for an appropriate place to put one, so eliminating anywhere but your mob machine would increase the rate of mobs spawning within it. The \"Mob Spawning Science\" post claims an algorithm that goes chunk by chunk, and within each chunk it picks a random block and sees if that block is a legit spawning location (standing on something, correct light level, etc.). If so, it puts a mob there. (I'm simplifying, but this is the idea.) This would imply that for any given block in a chunk, there is a 1/32768 chance of it being selected. So given a block X that is a nice, dark, mob-spawnable place, it has a 1/32768 chance each time the chunk is processed of spawning a monster regardless of any lit or unlit caves anywhere around it.

Another feature is price (taking into consideration that the shop pays one tenth of what it sells the equipment for). So my question is whether the price alone is a good indicator of a relative quality of the items of one class (apples to apples comparison). For instance, take two different models of Beretta in the similar price range, but of different level and quality: ![Beretta handguns comparison](http://i.stack.imgur.com/drJd1.png) Slightly more expensive \u201cuncommon\u201d P4 is slightly more accurate, has higher range, aim bonus (increase in accuracy with extra action points used for aiming), and faster reload than \u201cjunk\u201d Beretta 92. On the other hand former has slightly smaller magazine, lesser damage (much lesser than accompanying increase in accuracy), and is vastly less durable. Both range and durability are generally moot for a side arm. That increase in range is useless most of the time, as that 5\u20126 tile radius is still where the main weapons (such as scoped and unscoped rifles, or assault ones) have not lost their effectiveness. And durability plays role only in extended fire fights, which is, again, not an issue for a auxiliary weapon. All in all, on paper P4 is marginally better, and thus having marginally higher price. One important distinction is that P4 can be used from level 5, and 92 \u2014 from level 16, but both were found relatively close to each other (within few missions), and with 92 appearing later, it could be useful soon enough even if I did not find the P4. Similarly, comparing \u201cuncommon\u201d level 9 M16A2 and slightly more expensive \u201cjunk\u201d level 18 M4 assault rifles, the former has slightly better accuracy, range, lower recoil etc., at the expense of lower damage and durability. The damage of the latter is significantly more (about a third), so it may be a more deadly weapon (cannot corroborate any average damage figures), but it seems sad that cool \u201cuncommon\u201d rifle is worse than \u201cjunk\u201d, and three times more expensive \u201crare\u201d level 9 M16A4 is marginally better than said \u201cjunk\u201d, though, again, more useful as it was available earlier. New equipment in the shop arranged by level, but better quality stuff stands out with much larger prices (too much, in a way, given the slight edge they are giving, which may, however, play out in PvP): ![Handguns in the shop](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LaQLV.png) So, to reiterate the question. Am I safe just looking at the price in determining the relative quality of similar weapons, save any specific concerns relating the style of game play and economics (for instance, I opted out in investing in more than two times more expensive newer gun, taking loss on available damage in lieu of larger magazine (thus less reloads in inopportune moments), and having invested few grand before I figured I would skip a couple of levels of premium fire sticks)?"} {"_id": "40199", "title": "Having trouble getting Steam Terraria running in Linux", "text": "I followed the instruction here to run Terraria on my Fedora install, and when I went to install .NET 4, it said it was already installed.

The plan is quite simple: Lead with Smeargle and a Sturdy 'mon, Role Play to copy Sturdy, then switch to Shedinja and Entrainment Sturdy onto it. Now, here comes the tricky part: countering counters. Obviously the whole thing falls apart if Smeargle goes down. A Focus Sash is pretty much essential there. Additionally, Fake Out is a major problem, so I plan on having the Study 'mon being Sawk, with Quick Guard to block that threat. Shedinja will need Safety Goggles to survive weather, and I need either Safeguard or Thunder Wave to prevent more harmful status conditions. Factoring all this in, I have my lineup like so: * Sawk [Sturdy] - Quick Guard * Smeargle @Focus Sash - Role Play, Entrainment * Shedinja @Safety Goggles * Delphox - Safeguard Remaining threats: Leech Seed, and splash damage from Flame Burst. Also, contact with Rough Skin, Iron Barbs or Rocky Helmet will cause self- destruction. Now, here is another thing to consider: When you see Smeargle lead, you expect Dark Void, right? It's obvious, surely. So... you act accordingly. Fake Out if you have it (which Quick Guard can block) and try to take out the Smeargle (which Focus Sash will interrupt). Trouble is, Smeargle isn't exactly the fastest thing out there. That's why I'm here.

I did and rcon_password and an rcon, only to find the password I set for some reason didn't work (it ended up being the double quotes wrapping it that the default server.cfg provides for some reason). Anyhow, it took around two minutes for me to get him banned, and I decided that I wanted sourcemod. I grabbed the newest metamod:source (mmsource-1.9.0-linux.tar.gz), as well as the newest stable sourcemod (sourcemod-1.4.6-linux.tar.gz), since the sourcemod wiki alleged that even the newest versions should be compatible with The Ship, since it's based on Source Engine. I have, however, also tried with the newest (at the time) dev version (sourcemod-1.5.0-hg3657-linux.tar.gz), but without any different (near as I can tell) results. It started crashing, even with basic configurations. I'm not running any special extensions, and I had a few non-standard plugins enabled (godmode.smx rules.smx sum.smx vbping.smx), but began disabling them in an attempt to debug (disabled rules.smx sum.smx and reservedslots.smx since it was kicking humans before bots, and we have yet to have a full server). Once I got debug working (had to install gdb), I got a few crash logs: ---------------------------------------------- CRASH: Mon Oct 1 04:35:19 MDT 2012 Start Line: ./srcds_i686 -console -game ship +map rubicon -maxplayers 16 -ip mpql.net -port 27016 -tickrate 100 -secure -debug [New Thread 3518] [New Thread 3522] #0 0xf75e2610 in ??

I'm trying to be thorough so as not to upset anyone donating their time. I apologize in advance if I've left out something important, or done something incredibly stupid that might be causing this issue.

Also, I've replaced all instances of \"/home//\" with simply \"~\" -- both sans quotes -- more paranoia than a security issue, I'm aware.

I am running Mac OS X Lion. Normally, when I wanted to play a Windows-only game, I would fire up Windows 7 through Boot Camp, but I wanted to try something different. After quite some time of messing around, I finally managed to install everything that I needed to and run it. When I fired up the game, I noticed a few things: the gameplay is not very smooth and the mouse control is not very sensitive. The second problem can be overcome by adjusting the mouse sensitivity, but this is odd because if I were to load the same game using Boot Camp, the mouse would be much more sensitive _at the same sensitivity_ than it would be using Wine. Anyways, the first problem is a bit more concerning. I am running a 1999 game on 2011 hardware, so I would imagine that performance shouldn't be an issue. I could play Counter Strike (1.6) on my Boot Camp partition without a single hiccup/slow down. However when I load the game up using Wine, the frame rate is slashed by half, and the performance is rather bad. I understand that Wine is not going to give native performance, but it performs at least 150% worse than it does using Windows. Is this normal? Have any of you had a problem similar to this?

I went back to play sc:bw yesterday just for fun, after probably 10 years. I was ASTOUNDED how difficult it was. Choppy animations, annoyances everywhere, only selecting 8 units at a time, units running off in the wrong direction, not being able to select more than 1 building (for example to train many units at a time i had to individually click buildings and hit the hotkey, instead of selecting many buildings and hitting the hot key many times). The most annoying thing was how workers mined. I noticed workers just clumping up at one mineral patch instead of mining, and i would have to tell them all to mine. I set my rally point on a mineral patch and apparently in sc:bw this does not tell them to mine automatically. **My question is:** What is the best way to get workers to work in sc:bw? Do you have to select each worker as they are trained and tell them to mine? That just seems like mindless repetition. What does worker management generally look like for sc:bw?

I just completed Uncharted 3 for the second time, and playing the desert part again raised some questions. Let's recap a bit. Drake's just been through the whole shipyard ordeal - escaping capture, fighting off pirates, getting on and off the cruise ship and finally being washed ashore -after getting back to Elena, they have \"a couple of hours of sleep\" and reach the airport before dawn to catch the airplane. After Drake gets on the plane, we are led to understand he gets a few more hours of sleep (the next time we see him it's daylight outside), he then crashes into the desert. The next couple of chapters is what really bothers me. So Drake is in the desert, no water, no food (we don't know about the latter for sure but we aren't told otherwise), it seems like he spends two days (we see two day-night cycles) walking in circles in the desert's heat and cold until he finally by chance reaches the ghost town. Only after surviving the ghost town Drakes get's a proper sleep again and food. I might be reading into it too much, but it seems to me there's more than meets the eye in the desert chapter. I know the Uncharted series storyline relies on coincidence and chance but the desert scene when viewed without any interpretation seems really far-fetched. Twice before that point in the game we see characters hallucinating stuff that's not there, is it possible Drake imagines part of that desert journey (aside from the obvious mirages we see), that it really lasted much shorter? That he didn't reach his destination just by chance? Was this ever addressed by the game developers or cast?"} {"_id": "150678", "title": "Does cooking food impact the spoilage/decay rate?", "text": "In Don't Starve, cooking food can have a variety of effects on the restorative and degenerative properties of food.

Now if I push an empty cart onto the powered rail, it goes some 10 blocks up, descends, then goes around the loop, and back, 10 blocks up. The same happens if I push the empty cart down from the top of the incline. Similarly, if I leave a long span of unpowered track on the bottom of a long incline, I can ride a long way after the descent, but an empty cart stops a short way from the bottom of the hill.

For terran players: in my experience, 2 rax expand is very powerful strategy, but I found out that players do 1 rax expand!!! and still fill comfortable... still risky, in my opinion: if you scout that in time and don't expand your self but invest in army - you will be able to kill him in 8-9 minutes... **Question1** : how viable is this strategy of NO-ARMY expand **Question2** : how to apply this strategy on practice for a) Protoss, b) Terran. As Terran you can wall-in, but for Protoss, how to prevent scouting? **Question3** : Probably the reason why opponent decided to do a no-army FE is/was opponent confidence in own skills (in such kind of matches my opponent was slightly favored) and he tried this cheese strategies just for fun?

Also her Autoattack animation isn't too slow which makes lasthitting easier (it's about 10% faster than a Kog'Maw AAMissle).

Then I installed the United 3D browser plugin version 4.1.2f1 using Wine. I registered for the game and went to play it. However, it gave me this error when the game started to load: Failed to update Unity web player Error Details Install Manually This is the newest version of the Unity player.

The url changed since the problem started, it is now `http://webplayer.unity3d.com//Channels/911c7369eeac/UnityPlayer3.x.x-win32.zip`. It opened in Ubuntu's Archive Manager and I extracted the contents to `.../Local Settings/Application Data/Unity/WebPlayer/player/3.x.x/` in my user folder within my `.wine` folder. I placed the old files in a new folder in case I needed to revert back. When I reloaded firefox and went to Battlestar Galactica Online, I had the identical error message as above. This idea was a dead end. * * * **Comment** To avoid an extended conversation with myself, I'll add the following information which may or may not be helpful as an edit. The Unity forums, which is a clone of a stack exchange site, offers little help to people with issues. I found multiple posts by Windows users who have had the same problem. The answers were either vague or irrelevant in most cases with a few of them just plain out-of-date. * http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/35664/web-player-auto-update-failed.html * http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/166844-unity-web-player-doesn-t-work * http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/438965/auto-update-failed-1.html This link may actually prove to be helpful. However, I don't know which log file they are referring to. If someone can tell me, we may be one step close to getting this game running. * * * **Update** I removed the log files I had previously uploaded here. One was the from when I attempted an to use an older version of Unity and therefore irrelevant. Here are the two new log files that are actually relevant. The first one is `log_9e49528ca7602f43a8ab3e512f51ec85.txt` 130531 13:49:16 ------------------------------------------------------------ 130531 13:49:16 Instance starting, version 4.1.3f3_9174d583c97b, UNITY_WEB_ENABLE_AUTODOWNLOAD: 1, GetDisableAutoUpdates(): 0 130531 13:49:16 Datafile http://battlestargalactica-547.ah.bpcdn.net/client/bgoclient.unity3d?__cv=74ec5150a2588c2594bbc497c418cc00 130531 13:49:26 Setting error display: 'Failed to update Unity Web Player', details: 'A newer version of Unity Web Player is required, but the auto-update download failed.

Required revision range is 4138003 to 4138003, installed revision is ffffffff * * * **Interpretation** From what I can tell from the log file, the number that precedes each line is actually the day in yymmdd format followed by the military time. The file that begins with \"log\" only has information on what the most recent session with the Unity Web Plugin outputed. The file beginning with \"manager\" seems to keep all error messages from the current browser session. The error message: Requesting bundle 1 (3.x.x) update. Required revision range is 4138003 to 4138003, installed revision is ffffffff Appears after all events in both log files. From searching the Unity forums, I noticed that this error appears for multiple Windows users. Of course they are offered no help in determining the cause aside from their generic explanation of the error message. But those users did not give up hope and eventually some of them discovered the cause. Many of them has some kind of encryption system that prevented Unity from reading the files and folders it needed. Other people had some kind of network encryption that also seemed incompatible with Unity. The question now becomes what in wine is causing Unity to fail and is it something that can be worked around? * * * **Possible Solution?** There is with forum thread at winehq that claims to have gotten wine to run Unity via a patched version of wine (see here). It requires modifying some code and recompiling wine, there is a link to this video in which youtube user David Techer instructs on how to get it working. Ironically, the video features this very page in it yet Techer did not bother to leave an answer, >:( . This method uses a different version of Wine, Firefox, Unity, and Ubuntu than I asked, however if it works I would gladly accept it as an answer provided that someone answers it in a clear, well structured manner. Edit: The forum thread mentions applying a four part patch to fix bug number 12067, however that patch is already applied to wine version 1.7.6 and newer. The current version of wine 1.7.9 has a bug that results in certain programs, like firefox, to crash at startup (firefox gives a \"could not load xpcom\" error). This is suppose to be fixed when 1.7.10 comes out, however 1.7.8 runs firefox quite well. Since the simple instructions on obtaining the source code for wine using git results in the 1.7.9 code, I'll wait until 1.7.10 comes out to attempt this workaround. However the forum thread replaces: HDESK WINAPI OpenInputDesktop( DWORD flags, BOOL inherit, ACCESS_MASK access ) { FIXME( \"(%x,%i,%x): stub\\n\", flags, inherit, access ); SetLastError( ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED ); return 0; } in winstation.c (in wine version 1.7.0) with HDESK WINAPI OpenInputDesktop( DWORD flags, BOOL inherit, ACCESS_MASK access ) { return CreateDesktopA(\"Desktop\", 0, 0, flags, access, 0); } However, in the winstation.c file in 1.7.9 it's HDESK WINAPI OpenInputDesktop( DWORD flags, BOOL inherit, ACCESS_MASK access ) { HANDLE ret = 0; TRACE( \"(%x,%i,%x)\\n\", flags, inherit, access ); if (flags) FIXME( \"partial stub flags %08x\\n\", flags ); SERVER_START_REQ( open_input_desktop ) { req->flags = flags; req->access = access; req->attributes = inherit ? OBJ_INHERIT : 0; if (!wine_server_call_err( req )) ret = wine_server_ptr_handle( reply->handle ); } SERVER_END_REQ; return ret; } ~~I'm a bit reluctant in making a change since it may break wine. It seems that since 1.7.0 that the call to the function OpenInputDesktop has been implemented and doesn't merely create an error message.~~ OpenDesktopA function returns the OpenDesktopW function which returns the open_winstation_desktop function which basically looks like what 1.7.9 and 1.7.10 has written for the OpenInputDesktop. It's more efficient not to recompile wine with the mentioned patch as it will do the same thing as is only with a smaller runtime stack. So I need to try to install firefox, flash, and unity with 1.7.10 then copy and past the updated files from a windows pc into the correct folder. If anyone has already done it please post detailed instructions and your results so I can select it as the best answer."} {"_id": "24979", "title": "Can I change my color / design in Spiral Knights?", "text": "Upon character creation in Spiral Knights, you pick a design and a color.

They basically gave them a shield that limits the maximum damage they can take per hit, and this max damage is based on the player's armor and resistances. Click here for more information. I have 2 questions regarding this matter. Do armor and resistances still apply \"regularly\" to the pets? I know this doesn't have any effect in Act 3 and 4 Inferno since all of the hits will be above the damage cap anyway, but in the earlier acts it would help mitigate the less-damaging hits. What I mean is, if a pet has a damage cap of 5000, and he receives a hit for 1000, is that hit mitigated by armor and resistances? My other question is if pets have different damage caps per resistance? In the explanation Blizz gave it said that pets base their shield off of the player' resistances, but we all know how the player has multiple resistances. My guess is that each resistance gives the pet a different max damage cap value. So if a Witch Doctor has 100 poison resist and 50 cold resist, the pet would have a max damage cap of 200 for poison attacks and a cap of 400 against cold attacks.

Specifically, if any adjacent block attains a light level of 12 from anything other than direct sunlight, it will melt. And so, I reach a conundrum. I want to light my house enough so that I can _see_ while walking through it, and also enough to completely prevent mobs from spawning inside my house. This means I want to keep the light level approximately between 8 and 11: easy enough to do _someplaces_ , but a pain in the butt to calculate for every potential spawnable square.

And where do I get them? Most of the answers in the above question seem to be addressing how many followers you can get through normal means. However, I've recently noticed a bit of a bug in the quest follower system that may allow you to gather a small army. During one game recently, I had Trinity Restored in my quest list. I was at the step \"Meet Karliah at the standing stone\". Before doing this though, I decided to take care of some other things I'd been wanting to do. One of these things ended up bringing me near Riften, in the area of that standing stone. I ended up passing close enough to Karliah and Brynjolf to trigger the next step in the quest. At this point, Brynjolf begins following the player. I didn't realize I was being followed until later on, far from the standing stone, I heard Brynjolf speak up. I double-checked UESP to see if he was essential (I don't need to be getting him killed before I finish Trinity Restored, after all) and he was. So, I just decided to continue having him follow me. He continues to follow me for now, everywhere I go. The other task I've been doing, is collecting all of the Dragon Priest masks. One of the masks can be obtained during a quest called A Scroll for Anska. As soon as you start this quest, Anska also becomes a follower. She will also follow you out of her dungeon into the open world, but doesn't seem to want to wander far from there. (I tried fast-traveling to Riften, and seemed to lose her then. She began following me again into the crypt when I returned.) Still, I'm wondering: How many followers like Brynjolf (who will follow you to the far reaches of Skyrim, while allowing you to add other followers) are there out there?

In order to do this I'm looking for a build order for Zerg that is considered safe against all races, while not sacrificing economy too much. The build order only has to work in the lower leagues (Bronze-Platinum). I'm aware that there will be a point where doing one build blindly just won't cut it. It should be macro oriented (i.e. no 9 pool or roach rush), because I want something that can grow naturally into proper play as my machanics get better. My idea is to learn this build order and concentrate on getting my mechanics and macro in order while not having to think about too much about the build order at least in the beginning.

I quit the game before finishing the boss and played a level by replaying it and chose the Easy difficulty. Afterwards I came back to my save, finished the boss and continued playing through the game. When I finished the game though, I didn't get the trophy _Hard Enough_ for completing the game on hard (I did get the _Sweet Victory_ trophy for completing the game), which led me to believe my one level as easy changed the difficulty for the rest of my game. No I face a tough situation, I can replay each levels from the last Greece level onwards on hard, but I don't know if playing the levels individually counts, and the game boots you back to the main menu after each level which leads me to question whether it really does. Another option I have is loading my last save before the one I quit to replay a level and complete the game again from that point onwards, but after loading that save I can't really tell what difficulty it's set to. Is there a way to know which levels I completed on the hard difficulty? Is there a way to tell if my loaded save is on hard? (Perhaps by the damage enemies do).

Humbuckers have higher output than a single coil pickup since both coils are connected in series. Like a single coil pickup, the magnets in a humbucker produce a magnetic field around the strings, which in turn induces an electrical current in the coils as the strings vibrate. A humbucking pickup is essentially two single coil pickups, one of which has the north poles of its pole pieces oriented toward the strings, and the other has the south pole of its pole pieces oriented toward the strings. Since the coils are connected in series and out of phase, noise and interference are significantly reduced. Humbuckers get their name because they cancel out interference and \"buck the hum\" induced by alternating current from power lines and other devices, which is normally experienced with single coil pickups. I've read people having trouble with the game picking up notes on their guitar. Could this have anything to do with the pickup? Does the game detect notes better if your guitar is equipped with a humbucker ?"} {"_id": "22183", "title": "Is it possible to invalidate a dispenser after it has been used once?", "text": "I am making a map in Minecraft that other people can play.

Is it allowed to purchase and download a single Legacy StarCraft installer from my Battle.net account and install it on both of my computers mentioned above? 2. If it is not allowed because of licensing issue, should I just purchase 2 licenses from my Battle.net account but just download the installer once?

Now we got to a stage where we could build weaponry so we made some weapons, hunted some mutated animals and passed through the village and to our delight some of the chests had respawned again (barely 15 minutes).

So the question is: given that you don't know what's going to be in the next booster, is there an \"optimal\" approach to spending your dust? A lot of sites seem to suggest that you should burn it on the most useful common cards, the ones that you need to get decks working, on the basis that they're cheap. But that seems bad advice to me because the chances of you getting what you need from boosters is quite high. After 30, I've got at least one of all the most desirable common cards, and two of many. At the other end of the spectrum is the idea that you should save them up for the most powerful legendaries. On the one hand, the chances of you getting a real killer legendary from opening packs is very slim. But on the other, you need to accumulate a vast amount of dust and there is the awful chance of you aquiring a second and totally useless copy of the card. At the moment I'm edging on using it to buy rares. They don't break the bank, and if you just buy one, acquiring a second through pack opening is actually pretty handy.

The Bly now has two expansions, an army, more used supply, while Tarson has only his army, and almost no economy.

They are almost perfect counter against Banelings, since they have Concussive Shells (and Marauders will shoot the first Banelings they see, so in reality it will usually slow down the whole \"Baneling train\"), are armored, and have 125 XP. So when Terran sees Banelings comming, he just has to pull his Marines few meters behind his Marauderes. This way, Banelings will explode only on his Marauders, because not a single one is able to get it that far to hit Marines (30 HP is really ridiculous). And I think this is what caused the Terran to win that match, while he should loose. Roaches are also countered by Marauders, and mass Zerglings are countered by those Marines._ So what the Bly should have done differently in this match to be able to defend himself against that final push?

It's the DDR5 version, running on Windows 7 SP1 64bit. When gaming I get awful performance (10-20fps on ultra low settings, as can be expected of a laptop with entry-level GPU) but I recently noticed that I was running on the integrated Intel HD Graphics card. I enabled graphics switching in the BIOS, disabled automatic switching in the Catalyst Control Center, and enabled High Performance Mode under all circumstances. Using HWInfo and GPU-Z, I now see that when running a game (Arma 2 today) it indeed uses 100% of the ATI GPU. But it also shows that GPU running at 100Mhz, and GPU memory at 40.5Mhz. It occasionally peaks at 750Mhz (the advertised clock speed) for half a second or so, and then falls back to 100Mhz. Ingame performance is now even worse (5-10fps on ultra low settings) than when using the integrated GPU. Could the ATI still be running in some power safe mode? I've already tried installing ATI Tray Tools, but that Bluescreens when I run it. I also tried disabling the integrated graphics, but my BIOS won't allow me to do so, and when disabling it in Windows my screen just remains black. I have tried to install Riva Tuner, but I can't get that to do anything or report anything on my GPU. As I said, HWiNFO and GPU-Z both agree on the GPU and its utilization, but won't allow me to change any settings AFAIK. The BIOS is patched, and ATI won't allow me to install the latest Catalyst Control Center. It complains that I don't have a compatible graphics card (presumably because it's HP branded). I already have the latest HP graphics drivers installed. Any way to disable the power safe mode on the ATI card? Force it to run at higher speeds? Or maybe overclock it manually? One thing I would like to try is using an external monitor. I've read somewhere that the main laptop screen always uses the integrated GPU (in line with my experience disabling that). Without an external monitor, there is no way to set the default screen in Windows, it just reports no screen attached to the ATI card. **Update 1** I have installed the http://leshcatlabs.net/ ATI drivers, which doubled the memory clock to 81Mhz! :-P Still awful performance ingame, and in my Catalyst Control Center I do have the Overdrive options now but they are all greyed out and also stuck at 100Mhz. Also ATI Tray Tool still Bluescreens even with the latest (although third-party packaged) ATI drivers.

I died during the side mission, I died during parts of the main story, some just out of stupidity. As it stands now I only have about 17,000 left, when I die it costs me 1,000+. If I play some more today I will end up a broke man, I guess I have to change my gameplay. I have good weapons/mods/shields, I always keep the best. I also buy the best that's in the store, no matter the price. I am still having problems, what should I do? 1) Is there a way to store my money in the bank? 2) Should I respec? I have 5 x ward, 5 x Kinetic Reflection, 1 x Converge. 3) Can I just lose my money and get enough later in the game"} {"_id": "60700", "title": "Is it beneficial to sacrifice yourself so that your team might possibly get the baron steal?", "text": "Is it beneficial to sacrifice yourself so that your team might possibly get the baron steal?

My last savegame was somewhere in Windhelm (not in an indoor location), when I noticed this bug. The conversation that he insists on talking about is his daedric quest, The Only Cure. This is the last conversation he gives you before giving you the quest reward, and letting you go. Even if you 'finish' the conversation, he'll initiate another conversation a second or two later. Going to another indoor location, will not stop Peryite, as he will initiate the same conversation again. I have already finished the quest, 'The Only Cure', months ago (both real- world time and game-time). This bug only happened in the savegame of my oldest character (Level 59) who has finished that quest. I have a Level 20+ and 30+ character - but with the same set of mods, the Aspect of Peryite doesn't haunt them. A possible cause is due to a removed mod.

I tried removing all mods and then loading older savegames (which are in different locations other than Windhelm), but to my dismay, the Aspect of Peryite is still there, haunting me forever.

I tried the 'help' console command, but I can't find the right RefID. Anyone know any solutions or troubleshooting methods?

The final bit of the level has you jumping between two flaming wooden poles, with the right-hand one eventually collapsing, allowing you to advance: What constantly happened to me, though (and to quite a few others), is that once the pole collapses the screen pans right too quickly and kills you: I did eventually manage to get the tooth, after at least 20 attempts, but I'd be damned if I know what I did differently. I did try all sorts of suggestions, but none of them did the trick.

How can we make this work so that we don't have to keep bringing up the task manager, killing the frontend, and running MAME directly?

I realize that each added character in multiplayer adds health to the monsters, but 4,000 health on some of those guys really turns the game into a grind.

[Given the time cost of reinstalling all games, don't want to do this unless it's a known fix.] **PROBLEM RESOLVED: NOTES** I resolved my crash by uninstalling Civilization 5, then uninstalling Steam, then reinstalling. I'm surprised this worked since the crash started happening initially on a fresh Steam and Civ installation on a new computer. It's possible the reinstall alone didn't fix the problem, but fixed it in combination with some of the above attempts (I suspect the video driver was involved). But even so, the problem persisted after each of the above attempted fixes and was only resolved after I removed and reinstalled both Civ and Steam. This was a last resort since it also involved uninstalling other Steam games. Following StarPilot's answer below you **_might_** be able to save your other games by: 1. Uninstalling Civ 2. Backing up your SteamApps folder 3. Uninstalling Steam 4. Reinstalling Steam 5. Restoring your SteamApps folder 6.

I'm not quite sure why. 9 Tier 3 ArPen runes comes to 11.61 ArPen. Surprisingly, the more Armor an enemy has, the less effect these runes have. I did the maths: Let's say you have 100 Attack Damage. If your target has **25 armor** (20% reduction), you will deliver 80 damage without ArPen runes. With ArPen reduction of 11.61 you decrease an enemy's armor to 13.39 (11.8% reduction) and you deliver 88.2 damage. So your ArPen runes gave you **10.2% bonus dmg** (88.2 / 80) But if your target has, let's say **75 armor** (42.9% reduction), you will deliver 57.1 damage without runes. With ArPen runes, your target has 63.39 Armor (38.8% reduction) and you will deliver 61.2 damage, which is only **7.1% more** than **damage** without runes (61.2 / 57.1). **150 armor** (60% reduction) = 40 damage // with runes 138.39 armor (58.1% reduction) = 41.9 damage // **difference = 4.8%** So we can say, ArPen runes will give you **+5-10% extra damage** depending on how much armor your enemy has. But AS runes will give you **11.88% more attack speed**. ArPen will further benefit from attack speed and damage. But it only stacks with more ArPen. AS will further benefit from damage and ArPen, but will only stack with more AS. And you will also benefit more from hit-to-apply-affect skills. Of course, AS will not help you much for champions with strong physical skills, like Riven or Garen. It seems to me that ArPen is better for champions who use lots of AS items or have strong physical skills, but it will be a lot weaker for champions who use damage or ArPen items.

Because if you find yourself battling against some heavy tank, like Rammus, you can end up having all your marks for ArPen giving you only some minor 3% bonus, instead of a nice 12% attack speed bonus."} {"_id": "35503", "title": "How many claymores can I have out at a time?", "text": "So in BF3, the support class can lay antipersonnel mines (claymores).

I played 2 games last night and for both games I noticed this occurring. Basically I will buy items, get my courier to deliver it and before my courier gets to me if I die then when I respawn the items are missing. An example is last night I bought 2 items worth over 2000 gold, sent for the courier, died, and when I respawned my items were missing and the 2000 gold was also missing. The gold is definitely not missing due to the cost of respawning. Is this meant to happen? I've talked to more experienced players and looked at online material but I can't find anything related. I thought the items should be returned to you when you respawn and that's why quick buying right before dying is useful but this is making that unfeasible. It got to the point where getting items delivered by courier was too risky if it was an expensive item.

Originally, this mod (it is in fact a mission file with lots of other files like sqf, hpp, ext, etc) is not made to work on dedicated server but only on listen servers. this is because the host player has to setup different variables in a GUID created by the mod. On a dedicated server, the mod does not have anybody to ask those variables so it is impossible to create a game. One of my theories to make it work is to create the game locally on my computer then transfer the save files to the server and continue the game there. For that, I've copied the mission files in the MPMission folder of my Arma 3 directory to make it as similar as possible to the server environnement. The problem is that I am unable to locate the save files of that mission on my computer and i do not know where I need to copy those save files on the server.

First off, I am not 1. Very familiar with Arx Fatalis and how it works (and the updated for Windows-8 Arx Libertatis freeware) 2. Big on power/metagaming 3. Looking to break the game/deal with issues that come with it. Now, Arx Fatalis is a game I just bought on Steam a couple days ago. It ran really weird, so I found the sort of unoffical patch for newer computers \"Arx Libertatis\" so that it would run smoothly. Basically, I am level four, haven't really taken the time to truly specialize in any fields, and am doing what I assume is the main quest. (I am investigating that guy who was murdered by cultists, the little girl was kidnapped and sacrificed because I failed to save her, etc.) In that particular area, I came across a purple force field, which I assume Dispel Field will get rid of, I haven't actually tested it yet, but I was working on it. At that point, I noticed that there was an opportunity for platforming around the area, which I assumed may lead to some hidden goodies. Here is the problem: It lead me into a secret backdoor area into that weird pyramid thing full of snake people that said I wasn't ready to enter yet. I got in, opened the door (I was apparently in some form of treasure room that triggers hostility), died, tried again, THIS TIME WITH AN INVISIBILITY POTION. With that, I got into some form of throne room without being attacked, and spoke to a red snake lady. Now my character is talking about a weapon called Zohark and killing this Akbaa fella and all this other crazy stuff I'm pretty sure I shouldn't know about yet. So... does this break the game? I was under the impression that the game was very non-linear. I don't know what I'm supposed to do since the girl I was supposed to save and the demon and the cultists are dead. I found what I assume is another sequence break with some giant black beast that is unfightable, and very difficult to outrun, at which point I totally ditched the area because it scared me shitless. I don't want to cause awkward holes in the games plot and skip/have to re-do anything or anything crazy. I mean, I already totally emptied that little treasure area. I'm just curious why they'd make the area so easily accessible if it skips an unknown portion of the plotline. I didn't 'metagame' or break anything, I just leaped up a clearly intentional alternate pathway, and through a clearly intentional hole in the pyramid thingy's side. Heck, there were even traps and baddies along the pathway. Is this just poor game design? I love the game so far. I'm probably going to reload to before I talked to the snake lady. I'm just curious how people new to the game should go about this kind of thing."} {"_id": "122620", "title": "Can you \"sequence break\" turrets?", "text": "Now, in League of Legends, there's three \"rings\" of turrets before the inhibitors, the outer turrets, the inner turrets, and the inhibitor turrets. Typically, you'd take these in order, taking the outer mid turret before the inner mid turret, and the inner mid turret before the inhibitor one. This is due to the fact that minions are key to actually hitting turrets without dying a very quick death, and they reach said turrets in precisely that order. That said, is it possible to break the sequence? If you take a late game team that doesn't mind taking the turret shots, could you run straight past the outer turret and just start beating on the one behind it? Or do turrets behind the front lines have invincibility? (Much like how the Nexus turrets can't be harmed unless there's an inhibitor down, and the Nexus can't be taken until the turrets are gone.) Obviously it wouldn't be a smart tactic (outside of very rare base race situations), but I'm curious if it could be done."} {"_id": "170892", "title": "What does \"You feel lucky\" mean?", "text": "Some of the weapons I've found say \"You feel lucky\".

If the sentry is in the middle of army B and throws up a guardian shield while army A is still well outside the radius of the shield, obviously army B will take reduced damage from A's ranged attacks. If the A stalkers sacrifice the time and health to walk inside of the guardian shield, literally standing right next to B's stalkers, are their attacks still reduced by the sentry's shield?"} {"_id": "38848", "title": "Half-Life / Portal Story Loophole?", "text": "Ok, so Black Mesa and Aperture Science were competing to discover and develop portal technology along with getting government funds. This \"competition rush\" caused the Black Mesa Incident and the Borealis accident. So, my question is: How could Black Mesa and Aperture Science be in this competition if Aperture Science had clearly already invented portal technology? In Portal 2, when you are testing with Cave Johnson, there is a poster on the wall which shows the previous version of the portal gun. ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/WjPWD.png) Clearly, Aperture Science had functioning portal technology back in the 60's. Why would Black Mesa still be trying to create portals in the 21st century if the technology had already existed?"} {"_id": "96206", "title": "I can't find Boars!", "text": "Okay, so apart from the first mission where I had to kill 2 Boars near the area where the Komodo Dragons are found, I haven't found any more Boars thereafter. I've searched very very hard using even those hunter syringes but I can't find them. I can find pigs everywhere. What's more is that during the first chapter, right after I activate the first radar, Dennis asks me to open the Map and I see the Boar symbol _exactly to the Komodo Dragon symbol_. But it wasn't so after the mission got over. Right now, I must do the 3rd mission of going to speak to some Doctor who is near another corner of the island and I haven't found another boar. Another interesting bit is that I thought this happened after patching the game to v1.02 and that's why I re-installed the game and played without patching it, but it turns that the patch had no effect on the boars whatsoever. Is it so, that Boars shall appear again after I finish a story mission? Please help and also it would be of immense help if someone could really post the **Boar** and the **Pig** symbol as the map legend is of little avail."} {"_id": "38349", "title": "Do Nirnroots regrow in Skyrim?", "text": "In Oblivion, Nirnroots were a collectible - there was a finite number of them*, and they did not respawn.
