texts: Two stealth kills in less than three minutes

texts:
In the game Assassin's Creed for the Xbox 360, in the memory block 4 one of the informers from the rich district of Damascus will give you a mission to assassinate two guards in less than three minutes.

It must be done as a stealth kill, that is, no witnesses (or at least not witnessed by guards). But the NPCs I must kill only wander on streets full of guards.

I don't get a single moment with the white icon indicating I'm unnoticed. If I try using the hidden blade while the icon is yellow, the mission fails. If I try to throw a knife from a certain distance I am imediatelly noticed.

I tried to follow this video

             (see @ 8:10) but after killing the targets I immediately become discovered and the mission fails.

How do I complete this mission?

texts: Is there a quick way to see all door permissions?

texts:
So I had to override some of the default permissions on some of the doors in my colony. Life goes on, and all of a sudden I get notified about some character not being able to access food, or something similar... and then I remember! "Damn, I changed the door permissions!" And then I need to go through all the damned doors, to make sure the permissions I set still all make sense — but to do so, I need to click through all of the doors, and check which have overrides, and which don't.

Is there a way to get an overview of all the doors? Or to at least see just which ones have overrides? Or, ideally, to quickly cycle between all the doors?

texts:
It seems that the AI was at least twice updated without this being noted in the patch notes. First major thing that i saw was a much better defense against a cannon rush. Then patch 1.1.2 went live and I played a few games against hard AI to test the changes. I was very surprised to see that the second attack wave from my protoss enemy (i was zerg) came with 1,1,1 upgrades. I think before the patch even Very Hard AIs did not upgrade armor/weapons/shields at all (or at least not so soon).

Is it just me or did someone else notice this? Why is blizzard doing this and NOT mentioning it in patch notes? I can understand why they wanted to update the AI, but why not mention it?

What's different about "rare" expeditions?


texts: Achievement progress with Restart at Checkpoint

texts:
I am currently playing through the game a second time on 1999 mode.  On this playthrough I am aiming to get the Eavesdropper and Sightseer achievements.  Because being revived costs so much money, I have taken to restarting from the last checkpoint upon death.  What I am wondering is if the checkpoint is from before the time when I got a voxophone, if I need to get it another time.

My observations so far:

The achievement progress meter only shows the first time in a play session when you pick up the voxophone.
If you shut down the game/console and then continue, the achievement progress meter will appear again, for the same voxophone.

Running around and getting the same few items every time I die in a difficult fight is getting a bit old and I wonder if someone can confirm the exact way the achievements are accumulated.

texts: Pokemon X/Y Hidden Ability Breeding w/o ditto

texts:
I am attempting to breed an Eevee so that I can get an Espeon with Stored Power. I have a 6IV Eevee that has Stored Power, Baton Pass, and Bold Nature (All desired traits). The problem arises when I attempt to get the Hidden Ability. Everywhere I have read states that it is impossible with two Pokemon that have normal abilities, but never explicitly states that it is impossible with a hidden/normal ability parent combo.

Considering that Stored Power is an egg move and Magic Bounce is a Hidden Ability, how does one go about breeding an Eevee with both? Is it possible in an older generation? Can it be done in gen 6 w/out a ditto using two Pokemon of the same species where one has the hidden ability and the other does not?

So I was looking forward to wasting more of my life playing this game until the load times increased dramatically and the in-game lag also increased.

texts: How much unused RAM allocated to a Minecraft client or server is cached? If any program is not using all of the RAM allocated to it, that RAM becomes cached and can be used by other programs until the original program needs to use it. My question is just how much RAM is cached by Minecraft clients and servers when not in use. All of it? A fixed percentage? A percentage based on the amount of free RAM not used by any other programs? I tried to obtain the answer from the Minecraft Wiki but I was not able to. Thank you for any help you can supply me.

2.00% missile damage reduction.

What happens if I'm being shot by a missile which is supposed to inflict 100 points of fire damage?

texts: How can I change spells (using hotkeys) in a spell+shield configuration?

texts:
I like how the PC version of Skyrim lets you use the number keys to switch quickly between spells, but its awkward to use this capability when you are in a spell + shield configuration. As far as I can tell shields can only be equipped in the left hand, and this is unfortunately the same hand used to equip a spell when you press the assigned number key.

I want a setup where I can press the number keys to select different spells for my right hand while keeping the shield equipped on my left hand. How can I do this?

texts: How are stat gains determined on level up in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam?

texts:
When Mario, Luigi, or Paper Mario level up in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, their stats are raised. So far, I've seen each of the individual stats raised by an amount between 1-3 during the level up animation.

I understand this is different from the previous games, per the Mario Wiki, which states that
Bonus points can no longer be applied to stats upon leveling up. What determines how much a stat is raised, then? Is it...

Static, set gain. For example, it's coded and predetermined that Luigi will get +2 to HP at level 3?
Dynamic, variable gain. Based on some criteria (enemies defeated, type of enemy defeated, time since last level up, etc.?), the game calculates that Luigi earned a +2 in HP at level 3?

If the gain is dynamic, what calculates the stat gain?


texts: How does the Huntress's Long Range skill work?

texts:
The Long Range spec for the Huntress reads:

  Basic Attacks deal more damage the longer they travel, up to +% more

I'm confused on how this works.  Is there some kind of arbitrary distance that will give the full % boost and everything else is a percentage of that max?  Is there a set distance that increases for each point you put in and anything beyond it is capped at that max?  How, specifically, does this Long Range spec work?

Are there any sneaky tricks for surviving a landing on Kerbin without parachutes? Or am I going to need to launch a rescue mission?

texts: Where is the best place to maximize XP per hour in Inferno?

texts:
Possible Duplicate:
  How can I level up more quickly?

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.

After my above findings, the question remains: Is the best place to farm xp in inferno Act 3? Should I be playing through the entire Act, or should I be focusing on specific quest/quests of the Act, and then restarting the game? Should I be playing Act 2 or 4?

How do I do this?

texts: My Minecraft Resource Packs I downloaded and made won't show up

texts: I've made three resource packs from the same template. They are all in my resource packs folder, but only one shows up in the menu. One of the two that don't show up used to show up, the other I just completed and I have never been able to test. After scouring the internet for about an hour and try every fix i could find, nothing has changed. So I decided to ask my own question. And no it's not zipped, but I run Sphax unzipped just fine, and my other resource packs work fine unzipped, so no, that won't help.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be awesome, world save can be provided if it will help with the fix.

texts: How do I stop Zombie Villagers from spawning or Zombies

texts:
I am making a flat adventure/Survival map which is meant to be played for maybe a year or two and is made to make the game harder.

In the map when you spawn you have a big shop which is setted up with custom villagers using a online generator. There are 2 types of villagers one that sells items and one that buys items. Keep in mind the currency is emeralds.

But the problem is that zombie villagers are able to spawn within the world and I have only intended that the only way to achieve emeralds is by trading with the villagers within the shop.

I want some way to make them despawn or teleporting them to the void.

Keep in mind im not able to remove normal zombies due to that an important item within the shop is zombie flesh.

NEI (for Minecraft) is a mod that adds in-game functions like spawning in items, changing time and Saving and Loading Inventories.

As a moderator on a server, I am concerned as to whether an OP could load an inventory without it showing on the console, could this happen?

We're currently playing the DNS Techpack, but I do not know whether we have server-side NEI or not.  Would this affect it?


texts: Are there any functions of collecting Lums when doing race challenges?

texts:
I just bought Rayman Legends on Steam and since then, has only played for only 2 days. On the first day, I reached Awesomeness Level 1, in which I could start participating in daily challenges.

The first daily challenge I participated was to reach a certain distance as quick as possible. Now, inside that stage, there are Lums all over the place, in which sometimes you need to do specific maneuver to get them, like jumping on the platform and gliding (e.g. hair helicopter for Rayman).

At first, I tried to get most of them, thinking that it might give some speed boost to the character (I got bronze time when doing that). But after experimenting with the controller for a while, I found out that I can travel faster with dash + attack, but for doing that, I have to be on the ground for most of the time (well, it might not be the best way, but I tried not to read guides/hints/tips until I'm desperate for it). So, I tried this while ignoring the Lums, and I could get silver time instead!

So, my question is, are there any functions of collecting Lums when doing race challenges? Or is it just for unlocking purpose?


texts: Parent buying Minecraft (Windows 10) for child

texts:
I'm a lifelong Windows user but I've never signed in with a Microsoft Account or made any Store purchases, so please bear with me.

My child has got into playing the copy of Minecraft that magically appeared on my Windows 10 laptop, and I am considering paying for the full version.

I'm pretty confused about the relationship between the purchased game and  Microsoft Accounts / Microsoft Store / Minecraft User profiles.

If I register a Microsoft account for myself and log into the Store app with that then buy Minecraft, will my child then need to be logged in as me in order to play it? Would it be possible for me to set up some parental restrictions in that scenario? Or is it expected that the child has a Microsoft account of their own, and would the original purchase then have to be through that account?

All I've been able to find is the following:

Your chance of a Critical Hit with the Attack Command is based on Spirit:

from here.
and the slightly differently worded

If Rnd MOD [Spr / 4] > Rnd (0...99), Hit is critical.

from here.
What is the left side of the expression saying? I know MOD means the remainder after division, but the MOD would just go 0, 1, 2, 3 as you gain spirit, meaning only spirit values one less than those evenly divisible by 4 would be valuable for scoring crits, which makes no sense.

Wandering

The last one i assume is supposed to be a way to force me into a fight on occasion so i don't just traverse the world map avoiding enemies all the time.

But is there anything to read from these "shadows" and their behavior that might better prepare me for the ensuring battle?

texts: How to change the civil war factions' relationships?

texts:
Every time I go through the quest Season Unending, I think I have chosen the neutral route (I even followed a walkthrough on one occasion where the outcome was score 3-3), but after I finish the main quest, kill Alduin, and start clearing bandits from forts and so on, some are taken over by Imperials and I have to start making large detours in order not to kill them. I don’t want to play the Civil War questline, I just want both factions to treat me as neutral so I can pass through their forts and camps.

I have never killed a member of either faction. I have no civil war mods in my game. I don’t want to play the civil war.
Before Season Unending I can walk into any camps without any problems, but after Season Unending I am called 'Unblooded' by some of the Stormcloaks, and if I approach an Imperial camp they draw their swords and say things like "you're trespassing, get away or else" or words to that effect.

I have been informed by other players that after Season Unending they can still walk through any civil war faction’s camp and forts, but I can’t.

I was hoping for a console command to set things to neutral again, even if that changes who owns which city.


texts: Is it possible to get 100% game completed without going multiplayer in Burnout Legends?

texts:
Basically, is it possible to obtain 100% game completion in Burnout Legends in single-player only? I completed all the World Tour events, around 1/3 of the Crash events, most of both World Tour and Crash finished with Gold medals. However, I am currently at around 55% of game completed. I noticed that obtaining Gold medals in events does not increase my %, only unlock Legend GPs in World Tour.

It seems without playing multi I will not get all the cars, since Collector cars can be only unlocked by challenging other players. There are 5 collectors per tier, one is won through World Tour event, thus resulting in 20 cars I probably won't have. On the other hand - do unlocked cars count towards % of game completion anyway?

Thanks in advance.

texts:
In the map I'm making, Pvt. Rabbit (You) must try not to crush any planted carrots underfoot. If he does, I want it to be detected and then +1 to a scoreboard counting the number of times he has done it. My question is what is what would be the correct command to detect if he has crushed any planted carrots. At first I tried:

 execute @p[r=1000] ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~0 ~ minecraft:carrot say ...

I won't use the say command once I've figured it out, but now I'll use that. It says that "there is no such block with name minecraft:carrot" which I completely get. Any Ideas about what to do?


texts: Can you blow enemies heads off in the campaign?

texts:
I found an German soldier without a head on Their Land, Their Blood level. I'm fairly sure I've killed the man as I was just firing at that position. I was holding a MG42 gun that can cause dismemberment (doesn't equal to severed heads, only limbs - losing a head must be extremely rare).
This is my second playthrough of the campaign and I can't recall seeing     something equivalent.

Heads constantly explode in separate zombies mode, the question is about the campaign.

texts: How to get double loot and XP from a Pokestop?

While spinning PokeStops, I was able to get double loot (7-8 items) and double XP (100 XP) twice. However, I do not understand whether I did something special for this and I cannot find any information on this matter.

Does anyone know how to get these double loot and XP from spinning a PokeStop?

texts: Is there a way to detect rain in datapacks? [Minecraft 1.16]

texts:
The answer here technically works when utilizing command blocks, but isn't possible when working with datapacks. I do have the same limitations as the linked question, in that I can't use cauldrons, soil, and so on to detect it.
What I'm attempting to do is make it rain infinitely, but I don't want it to continuously run the command. Yes, I can set up commands so that load.json runs it on server (re)load, but the maximum time I can set that to is roughly 11 days. Since I'm making a datapack that is intended for survival world use, I need this to be continuous and run again if it's no longer raining.


texts:
As many have noted, Nioh's combat mechanics draw pretty heavy inspiration from the Souls series. I feel pretty much at home while playing, but I have not been able to figure out how to perform a backstab (assuming this is a mechanic in the game).

So far, I've tried:

Performing a light attack on an unaware enemy from behind
Pressing and holding the light attack button on an unaware enemy from behind (this just performed a single light attack)
Performing a heavy attack on an unaware enemy from behind

I am certain that the enemy I attempted to stab in the back was unaware when I attacked.

Is there a way to perform a backstab? I didn't even notice a damage bonus for attacking an unaware enemy from behind. Am I doing something wrong or should I be using a specific weapon/type of weapon? Is there a backstab/back attack mechanic in this game at all?


texts: Is it possible to settle the Boston Airport?

texts:
I've settled every settlement in the main Fallout 4 game. Except the Boston Airport. I can't seem to figure this one out. I can't craft a beacon radio here and it doesn't even give me an option to plant crops (food doesn't even show as a resource in the workshop interface). Just for reference, this is post

   Prydwyn explosion

in case that makes a difference. I'd really like to 100% the settlement aspect of this game and the 0% staring at me from the Boston Airport is really grating on my nerves. Is there anyway to settle this place?


texts: Can a new save withdraw from the pokemon bank?

texts:
I've been considering restarting my save and replaying the story with access to the entire National Pokedex (Minus a few Event-only Pokemon I'm missing) from the start. But I would first like to confirm: Can I withdraw my stored Pokemon from the bank if my game is reset? It seems that the only contributing factor is that I end up signed in with the same Nintendo Network ID, so as long as my network ID remains the same, I can withdraw stored Pokemon regardless of what save-game or cartridge is in my system, correct?

While I'm reasonably confident it works the way I think it does, past experience (My Pokemon Ranch being tied to specific trainer IDs, and something about the dream world being tied to the game's wireless settings) has made me just cautious enough to ask before attempting.

Also is it true that in order take advantage of a higher tickrate, a high refreshrate monitor should be used?

Currently, the meta seems to be fairly set in stone. Sometimes I see pro teams in matches doing some interesting things, like having a support Sona that roams instead of staying bottom.

Is the current meta definitely the best way to win games? If you are looking to optimally scale each member of your team, then it seems like it is, but there may be more to it. Besides very special cases, should the meta of sending 2 bot, 1 mid, and 1 top be messed with?


texts: Player gets injured every week in Manager Mode

texts: On Fifa 12 Ipad, one of my players ( N. Wedderburn) got injured one match. It was a Back Strain or something, and it said he would be injured for like 5 weeks.

Now I haven't been able to play him for 10 matches. How can I stop him from being injured so I can finally play him?


texts: Can I use multiple accounts on the Nintendo Switch and buy 1 download game per account (and use them all)?

texts:
I buy digital games on fresh accounts for the PS4: i.e. 1 game per account. This opens the (easier) possibility to sell or lend games (i.e. selling or lending the account actually).

You can keep playing from your normal standard account (i.e. the Playstation network account for the PS4). This is important for online gaming and gaming friends (where you appear with your account name) and for trophies (which are linked to the account).

Normally, only the account who bought a game can play it. But on the Playstation you can set an account as 'primary' on 1 console. On that console every account can play the game, even offline.

Now the questions:

Can I use multiple accounts on 1 Nintendo Switch and play all their games?
Do I need to do similar 'tricks' like on the PS4? Or does it work different there? How?
Is there any other restriction/hurdle which makes this PS4-way of separate game-accounts impractical/impossible?

So, I am working on a PVP thing in my server and I am trying to figure out how to make it so that when you kill someone, you get an emerald that you can use for shops. I can't figure out how to make the emerald thing work though.

2nd, I put these two commands on a redstone clock:

give @a[score_KillScore_min=1] minecraft:emerald
scoreboard players remove @a[score_KillScore_min=1] KillScore 1

3rd I activated the redstone clock, but when I kill another player,
it does nothing.

texts: Comprehensive stats info on Baldur's Gate 2 shapeshifting effects?

texts:
I'm looking for comprehensive info on the various effects of shapeshifting.  There is a lot of disjointed info on the subject, but nowhere can I find a complete list.  I would like to compile that info here.

I did a little experimentation myself and recorded the Str, Dex, Con, THACO, AC, and # of attacks for each form, for both Jaheira and my PC (an Avenger).  That was helpful, but there is still some info missing.  For reference, here is what I collected on my PC.  Fields in parenthesis are presumably unique to each character and are thus for reference only.

            STR    DEX CON (AC)(HP)(THAC0) (Attacks) BaseDamage +x
Black Bear  18/100 12  18   6   90  13     3         ???        ???
Brown Bear  18/100 12  18   7   90  13     3         ???        ???
Wolf         18    17  17   3   90  15     1         ???        ???
Sword Spider 16    16  9   -3   72  16     5         ???        ???
Baby Wyvern  16    17  16   0   90  16     2         ???        ???
Salamander  18/75  19  15  -2   81  14     1         ???        ???
(Natural)    16    10  16   8   90  16     1         ???        ???

1) What is the weapon base damage used by each form?  What are the +x modifiers (e.g. +1, +2, used for checking weapon immunity)?

2) How does character level effect any of these stats or damage (if at all)?  How about things like weapon proficiency, dual classing, etc? (e.g. I noticed that Jaheira (F/D) had 1/2 more attack than my pure druid).

3) Which aspects of your current weapons and armor are utilized at all? (As far as I can tell, items such as Ring of Protection +1 do affect your AC when shapeshifted, but the base AC of your armor does not).

Browsing various forums, it seems that there may be some stat changes that don't work as intended (e.g. greater werewolf form weapon not counting as magical).  To avoid confusion, I would prefer that all answers only give stats which are actually in the game, not stats that were intended to be in the game.

I've never known an AI to get lost before, and I checked - sure enough, the wiki confirms this as a known bug:

  Some times Barbas may have trouble when travelling through Helgen. He may proceed into Helgen, wander around and walk back out repeatedly.

However, it doesn't offer any suggestions on how to remedy this. Is there a fix for this problem? I'm on the PC so can use console commands as a last resort. I have not discovered Haemar's Shame with this character so can't fast travel there.

texts: ATI HD Radeon HD 7470M performance; won't use full clock speed in game

texts:
I have an HP Probook 4730s laptop with a ATI Radeon HD 7470M graphics card. 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.

The temperatures stay at 38-44C, and the clock speed does not fluctuate with temperature changes.

texts: Getting a Keystone of Trials, do the whole rift have to played on T1+ or only killing the Rift Guardian?

texts:
I am trying to obtain a Keystone of Trials to test the new greater rifts that was recently added to Diablo 3 on my Xbox One through the 2.1 patch.

Do I have to play the whole rift on T1 (or higher) or is it enough that the game is on T1 (or higher) difficulty when I kill the rift guardian?

Meaning, could I do this:

Start the gaming session on Master difficulty
Lower it to hard, and start a normal rift
Play the normal rift up to about 98-99% completion, then switch to T1
Kill the last minions and then the rift guardian

And if that works, can I even do this:

Start my gaming session on T2
Lower it to T1, and start a normal rift
Play the rift up to and including almost killing the guarding, getting him close to death
Set the game up to T3, and kill him, to increase the chance of him giving me the keystone?

I'm playing alone right now so I can easily pause the game to change the difficulty.

I'm assuming that plowing through the minions on a lower difficulty is going to be faster than doing them on a higher one, but will this remove my chance of getting the keystone?

texts: Effect of recent casts on opponents playstyle

texts:
I've noticed a correlation between my opponents play-style and the set of casts (VODs) recently released.  It seems the more popular the caster, the more likely I'm going to face whatever strategy they're show-casing or recommending.  A good example of this is when Day9 released a 'Refining a build order' cast that showed how to do 1 reaper FE - it seems like I faced this build against at least 50% of my Terran opponents for the week or so after it was released.
I'm wondering first if any of you have also noticed this coorelation, and second whether anyone wants to prove or disprove it.
I know that most people are attracted to this site because they are both programmers and Starcraft players, and I believe all the necessary data is available, we can see what builds people are using (both from battle.net and the advanced replay sites), and we know what the casters are sticking out there.
I realize this information wouldn't be useful to you Master leaguers' as most of you aren't getting your builds from the casting sites, but for those of us playing Bronze-Plat I'm wondering if we could improve our results by planning our builds to counter what is being seen in recent casts.
Thanks!


texts: Do the different weapon types have hidden properties in Loop Hero?

texts:
I noticed that the Axe consistently has higher base damage than other weapons (except at level 1 where every weapon has a base damage of 4-6), but I'm wondering if there's a "hidden cost" of using that weapon type such as lower attack speed or lower accuracy? Otherwise I'm wondering why would I choose to use, say a Lance that seems to have lower damage than weapons of a similar level. (Unless I get a level 4 Lance while my current weapon is level 2 or something like that, of course)
Thanks

texts:
I've been focussing on levelling up my skills with training and smithing and have made rapid progress in some combat and smithing skills, but I'm kind of wondering if this is going to have any payback.

As I understand it the game compensates for levelling by simply making my enemies stronger,
So, am I wasting my time with accelerated levellup up, is my shiny dragon armour no different to hide armour thanks to the difficulty compensation?  And if I go through the quests (Side and main) as a level 15 will I end up having have a fairly similar experience as to level 80.

texts: Can hacked 3DS game files be used for Streetpass or online multiplayer?

texts:
Someone recently showed me that he had used Action Replay to gain impossible stats for custom fighters in Super Smash Bros for 3DS. This prevented him from uploading characters to the Wii U version of the game (the Wii U said the data couldn't be imported because the game file was corrupted). Apparently people also use similar hacks to get impossibly strong weapons in Kid Icarus Uprising, and I imagine other games with online multiplayer and/or Streetpass capabilities are affected.

Can players who have hacked game files such as these Streetpass other players in those games? I'm concerned about getting corrupted data from such players via Streetpass.

Also, can hacked game files be used in online play? It's obviously unfair if this is possible. Is it determined by each game, or do Nintendo's servers check when you try to play online?

texts:
In a stingy effort to maximize my gold income, I was trying to figure out if it was worth it to reroll daily quests that award 50 gold, from a mathematical point of view only (meaning I don't care how long it takes to complete and that it's my only active quest).

I did some research/calculations on my side, here are my results

There are 78 unique quests available
 *quests of the 'win X games with class Y or z' type have 9 possibilities each, per Hearthstone wiki)
Those quests award a total of 4000 gold
Therefore, the expected amount is 51.28 gold
Conclusion: I should reroll a 50 gold quest

to get the above result, I gave a value of 100 gold to the Watch and Learn! quest.  I also ignored the fact that the Everybody! Get in here! quest can only be completed 5 days out of 7 and that the Play a Friend! quest can only reappear 5 days after appearing once

Does that make sense?  Did I mess something up in the calculations or the reasoning?

I am using the following config to cycle through maps on a CTF server:

set d1 "devmap q3ctf4 ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "devmap q3ctf1 ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "devmap q3ctf2 ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "devmap q3ctf3 ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "devmap q3ctf5 ; set nextmap vstr d1"
vstr d1

Following this in my config file, I am running a series of addbot commands:

addbot uriel 2 blue 100 Uriel
addbot Bobafett blue 2 100 BobaFett
addbot shockwave blue 2 100 Shockwave
addbot wolverine blue 2 100 Wolverine
addbot grinch 2 red 100 TheGrinch

addbot anarki 2 red 100 Anarki
addbot vader 2 red 100 DarthVader
addbot jazz 2 red 100 Jazz
addbot JOKER 2 blue 100 TheJoker

The problem is that after the first map, the bots don't re-join automatically.  How can I combine vstr rotation with custom bots?

Additionally (and related), I am using a countdown timer:

g_doWarmup 15

The same issue happens here...once the game starts the bots are gone and I have to re-add them again.  Is there any way to avoid this?

texts: Super Robot Wars X - Any way to load a save file saved in another language?

texts:
I started Super Robot Wars X in a translated language, but since now I'm preparing for the Japanese N2 exam, I want to finish the game in Japanese (the conversations are not very complicated). Some original subtleties could also be lost in translation.

However, if I change the language and launch the game again, when I try to load the previous save files, the game just doesn't do anything and starts itself from the starting screen again. The same happens if I try to load the save file saved in Japanese with a different UI. Surely there must be a way to make the save files compatible with each other? I tried to look into the DESC.BIN and SYSTEM.BIN but I need to find which bytes exactly to modify. Hope this question is not out of scope here. If anybody has some clue it'd be much appreciated.

texts: Which Wrath of the Lich King dungeon will provide the highest rep/hour?

texts:
I'm farming out my LK reps (going for Beloved title, 36/70!) and I have 4 reps in LK, 3 of which must be farmed by doing dungeons.(Explorer's League, Frostborn, and Silver Covenant.)

Very soon (my guild only needs a leatherworker) I'll have access to the banner which will double my rep gains. Now this has a 10 minute CD, so I'd like to maximize that if possible.

Which dungeon will allow me to farm repeatedly and gain reputation with the tabards with the highest reputation velocity? If two of them are rather close in their xp gain, but one is linear and the other circles around, then clearly the latter would be better because I would be in range of the banner more often.

And no, this isn't on my level 1 this time. :-)

So after playing through WoL several times and fighting hundreds of spirits on the board, I've realized not once have I even bothered touching the "Stats Increase after eating" spirits.

Thinking about it, food really doesn't drop all too often in most spirit battles.   I can't think of any characters off the top of my head that can best take advantage of it, except for Game & Watch, but getting the apples needed to trigger the buff is still RNG based and not consistent.

Which characters can take advantage of those spirits? Does Kirby or Dedede sucking up enemies count as eating? Does Wario's neutral special count as eating?

texts: To what extent is Tetris (on Game Boy) a game of luck?

texts:
I've been playing the original Tetris port for the original Game Boy, on the very same original Game Boy, on and off, for the last 30 years. Lately, I've been playing daily, in the bathroom, and have started to come to a disturbing realization:

The game, while insanely addictive and challenging from a "finger dexterity" and "fast thinking" point of view, is largely based on luck rather than skill after a certain point.

To make it clear, I play the "A MODE" game, starting on level 9 (the highest it will let you start on), and my goal is of course to get the highest score. My strategy is to always try to build as low as possible to, ideally, only get "four-rows", which apparently give the highest score.

I can pretty safely say that, at this point, I have "mastered" the basic game mechanics and I am extremely familiar with the game. I now routinely achieve over 100,000 points (which display the little rocket launch animation), but this still happens rarely if you count the many "tries" it takes me.

The highest I have achieved was about 250,000 points, which is far more than I could have ever dreamt of as a kid, but still lightyears from the elusive 999,999 maximum score. If I hadn't seen longplay videos of people doing that, I wouldn't even believe it is possible at all for a human...

Naturally, I'm not saying that those who can achieve a higher score than I just have "purely better luck" than I. I'm just saying that the game frequently gives random blocks which simply do not fit into your current "landscape", and therefore have to be awkwardly placed. And then another. And another. And it just keeps feeding you bad blocks.

That's my problem with the game: It's randomized. It would be different if you always knew you were going to get the same series of blocks, in the same order, but of course it would probably take away a lot of the game as people would come up with an optimal way to place those blocks and then that would be the only way to play for a high score...

Still, the fact that I can sometimes get like 150 points, and sometimes 150,000, without really making any "mistakes", but merely being handed unwanted blocks, tells me that the game, after a certain amount of skill, is all about "getting lucky". It does start to go extremely fast eventually, so I will give the game that; it starts taking far more "quick thinking" and "finger fiddling" late in a run compared to starting out on level 9, but still, if you'd get the blocks you need, it'd be relatively easy to place them where they belong.

Sometimes, the game simply decides to just never hand out a "long one", and the blocks just keep stacking up until you lose because there is just no way to place the given blocks.

Isn't Tetris basically just about luck?

In the fourth or fifth mission, the Heroic objective is to win without building any structures. However, you start with a single Gristmill and 4 farms, so getting food is pretty slow going.

I'm under the assumption that creating Warrens for units counts as structures, I'm just unsure what all is considered a "structure".

texts: How does PCSXR deal with region requests?

texts:
I watched this video about the anti-piracy measures of the PS1 and Spyro 3.

The tldr is that PS1 disks have a special region of the disk that is not readable by any other disk reader on the planet. This part of the disk contains region information (NA, JAP, etc...) and if it's not there, then the disk was created using a run-of-the-mill disk burner, and is therefore not legitimate.

Some smart people found a way around this by creating a special chip that would intercept the region request and return the correct information. This fooled the PS1 into thinking the disk is legitmate.

Unfortunately, the PS1 is designed such that this region information is only available as the game is booted. If the game is running, then this information should not be accessible, but the special mod chip would return the information regardless.

Some developers used this to detect if their game was being run on a modded PS1, and would write special logic to sabotage their game if it was running on modded hardware.

How does an emulator, like pcsxr, deal with this? Does it just naively return the region information all the time?

texts: What determines the frequency of attacks on settlements?

texts:
When I was done waiting for the evening to fall to start a specific quest by sitting on a chair for six hours, I got three messages of settlements being under attack. Since I rarely see any of them being attacked during 'normal' gameplay, I started wondering what determines the frequency of the attacks?

Is it completely random, or does the chance of happening increases when you are not doing anything? Or are there other contributing factors (if so, which?)

Update: I have full defenses on all settlements and currently play on normal difficulty. One of them even has a defense of 90+ (combined water + food: 44) and is surrounded by walls.
One important reason for asking this question is that I would like to prevent fast traveling. The three settlements that got attacked are located in the corners of the map, so I had no chance to helping them all without fast traveling (you fail the associated misc. quest when not responding in time). If I can do something to reduce the chances of it happening, this would reduce that problem.

Shooting the ground or an object tethers me to it with a wire, but this doesn't have any effect that I can figure out either.  Once I drive past my harpoon the wire just extends out behind me, as seen (sort of) in the image below.

What do I use the harpoon for?

texts:
I bought the Need For Speed: Most Wanted (NFS:MW) bundle (it came with Underground 1 and 2, but I'm only really interested in NFS:MW). I've tried playing it with a mouse/keyboard, which works, but I have an Xbox 360 Controller I want to play it with.

I've downloaded Xpadder and MotioninJoy , but MotioninJoy doesn't pick up my controller. With Xpadder I've been able to put all the controls as I'd like but the one main issue is whenever the game loads the car always pulls left - I won't be moving left at all, but the whole car will just keep drifting left.

I don't know where to go around fixing this if there's any other way I can provide more information let me know. The controller works fine normally.

texts: AI rebellion - siding with robots - what will happen to traditions?

texts:
When in Stellaris you have the AI uprising event, you are given two options: suppress the rebellion or side with the machines.

Unfortunately, due to the way I build my empire (usually either with AI given citizen rights when I have the first opportunity or banning AI from start) I had this event only once when I've played on Ironman and I've sided with organics.

From the wiki I know that

  The Uprising copies all these things from the Creators:
   - All communications
   - All technologies, minus the ones that should not be valid for Machine Empires (explicit exclusion list)
   - All Survey Data

  A war between the Machine Intelligence and the Creators is started. The only goal is an absolute victory for either side. The player can choose which side to play - the Uprising or the Creators. The Victor will get a large amount of unity.

But what about the traditions and ascension perks? Robot empires have different traditions (Versatility instead of Diplomacy, Synchronicity instead of Harmony) and have completely different ascendancy path.

Does the traditions/perks get translated somehow or are they reset? And if the latter, are you given option to re-spend the traditions? Starting with no traditions mid game sounds like a huge setback, especially since you would be starting with huge penalty to creating unity thanks to (potential) big number of colonies without unity generating buildings.

texts: Exact positioning of items on packed ice water conveyors?

Problem is, no matter how I lay down water, the bread won't travel the full squiggle. It keeps getting dumped off to the side, trying to take off under the slabs. How do I arrange water/waterlogged whatever/gates to keep bread moving down the center of the ice chute so it gets to everyone? Can I do that?

In sum: how do I create a water/ice conveyor, defined by top-slabs, such that the stuff on the conveyor won't "understeer" and skate off under them?

texts: What can I find in the Sedalia police station?

texts:
In Walking Dead - Survival Instinct, you have the option of taking on a side quest at the second level (or the town named Sedalia), which involves finding some batteries in the police station. You don't have to take the quest to complete the level, but I've read that there are a lot of interesting and useful things you can pick up rummaging through it.

The problem is, that place is packed full of walkers, and getting through every room in the station with enough life to actually proceed to clear the final level is turning out to be extremely hard. I'm getting pretty tired of the level and I'm thinking about just ditching the side quest to complete the main level, but I'm wondering what else might be in that place that I'll wish I'd stuck around to find.

So far, I've found:

A bolt action rifle and a small amount of ammunition
A revolver, with a small amount of ammunition

Is there anything else to be found in this place (besides the batteries, of course)?

Specifically, when I download ME2, Origin says that it will be a 9.71GB download and a 11.57GB installation.

Each time I've tried downloading ME2, the download gets to 9.70GB, then the download speed drops to 0B/s, then Origin crashes with a "fatal error". Sometimes, Origin will give me a popup telling me there's been a "download error" before crashing. The same issue occurs with ME3, but I don't have the exact numbers, as I only tried it once.

I'm not certain whether this is an issue with my network, or if this is an issue on EA's side. I'm on my college's VPN, and I've been able to download large files without issue before. (In fact, I downloaded ME1 on this network when I purchased it).

I've tried running Origin as an Administrator, but the issue persisted.

Anyone know how to fix this issue?


texts: Easiest way to find the Battlefield 4 Final Stand Dog tags

texts: I am trying to find one of the dog tags hidden in the final stand maps. Searching the dog tags spawn points given on this site for hours now with no luck. Is there a specific tactic to finding these dog tags? Like camping one spot. If a dog tag is found by another player does it respawn on the same spot after 10 minutes?


texts: Can Catherine for PS3 be switched to the Japanese voice actors?

texts: I was thinking of getting Catherine for PS3 but then I found out that it looks like you might not be able to choose the Japanese voice actors and I am kind of a snob about that sort of thing. Does anyone know anything else about this?

Many times, I have had to go to Plan B: The Revolver. But there are 3 to choose from!

The standard revolver seems to be the all rounder, however the Ambassador is like a long range assassination tool. L'Etranger seems, erm? I don't know.

What revolver should I use in what situation, and why?

texts: What constitutes an 'influence-earning situation' in Total War Attila?

texts: There is a lot of skills/traits/auxiliaries/... that add to influence per 'influence-earning situation'. Well what are these situations? I imagine winning battles is one. What about just commanding an army and doing nothing? Being a governor? Not doing anything at all, but being a Companion?

texts: When you have an exploration DED complex site escalation listed in your mission journal, is it possible for another party to discover that same escalation and beat you to the rewards, or are you free to pursue it at your leisure until the timer expires?


texts: Where can blacksmith manuals be found in mabinogi?

texts: I've played Mabinogi for a while and have been going back and forth between blacksmithing and close combat skills. I'm having trouble with blacksmithing though because I've constantly been doing part time jobs but it doesn't seem to be helping.  I'm at rank C but all Edern gives are jobs for sickles or something low and I get nowhere.  All the guides I read only suggests what to make but doesn't actually say where to get the manuals.  Would anyone happen to know where to get manuals such as gauntlets in order to continue ranking up blacksmithing?
