texts:
According to developers, Diablo 3 doesn't have elemental damage effects, with the exception of ice which chills/freezes.
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. Do you have more information about this?


texts: How can I dodge 200 lightning bolts in a row?

texts: In order to get the Sigil for Lulu's weapon, you need to dodge 200 lightning bolts.  In a row.  Without leaving the area.  It's a rather strenuous exercise, as lightning bolts are random, and require lightning-fast reflexes to dodge.  Even then, missing a single one is cause for rage, because now you have to start all over.  Is there an easier way to do this that doesn't involve just waiting and hoping?

Seeker's Armguard has a unique mechanic where it gives .5 armor and ap for every minion kill (max of 15 armor/ap).

texts: Can I play a PS4 game on a PC, as long as I own a PS4?

texts:
I'm going to be away from my house for nearly a month and I really adore the game bloodborne and it'll be boring where I'm going, so I want something to do. I can't take the console with me obviously and remote play won't work from the distance. So I was wondering if it was possible to tell the computer to let me access bloodborne on a PC because I already own a PS4.

Does Sony offer such a service?

Is it possible to do this?

How do you get these two pieces?


texts: How to clean dust and spider webs in my house?

texts:
I bought Breezehome and am very happy with it: it is a nice and cozy house with everything I need.

However, I couldn't miss noticing dust spots and spider webs in several places. In dungeons it's acceptable, but in my own house? I sought some way to clean my house.

First I tried to use Unrelenting Force to blow the dust and spider webs away - no luck.

Maybe some fire will burn it and leave the floor/wall clean? No - it just made it worse.

Finally a great idea hit me - broom! I found one, took it and was very disappointed to find I can't equip or use it in any way - also tried just dropping it on the spider webs but of course, that did not help.

Am I doomed to live in a dirty house?

texts: Using XBox360 with LED Monitor and speakers

texts:
I bought my first console over a week back and since I didn't have a TV I got a LED Monitor (Full HD) which has an HDMI port, and also a pair of good speakers.
Since XBox has the (big) analog cable and HDMI we assumed I could connect both Monitor (in full HD via HDMI) and speakers with (AV to 3.5mm convertor which I got).
Only after opening box I realized at any time only either of HDMI/Analog could be connected to XBox.
I have no clue how to connect Monitor+ Speakers and still get Full HD. (We tried buying an external TV tuner box, it gives only 480p). Any solutions?


texts: How to solve glitch in GTA Online Prison Break set up

texts: The third set up in the prison break heist is where one team steals a police schedule and the other steals a vehicle. I've been on the police team every attempt so far. Every time I get the schedule, burn the car, etc. you have to bring the schedule back to the leaders heist room. So I've done that then the other team dies. But for once the other team didn't die. But this time when you burn the car it didn't show a yellow waypoint back to the planning room. It said however to take the schedule to the planning room. So we drove there without the waypoint but when I got into the circle it wouldn't let me go into my apartment when the mission objective was active. This has happened twice now. How do I stop this?

texts: How can I prevent Skyrim from freezing at the load screen?

texts:
I recently got Skyrim Legendary Edition for the 360. I started up a new character and everything was going smoothly and I was having a grand old time for a week or so.

Now the game keeps freezing on the loading screen very frequently. I've experienced 4-5 freezes already. There was one time where it froze while I was walking around. The majority of the time, however, it freezes when it is on the loading screen with the tips. The sound will cut out, nothing moves, and the tips don't fade in or out anymore. I can't access the guide either. I have to manually shut down the Xbox in order to get it anything back.

I've looked on forums and tried a bunch of things but none have really helped. I've tried disabling auto-saves as well as clearing the game cache (LB + RB + X).

I don't know if this matters, but I installed the DLC off the second disc first. Then, I installed the main game. When I ran the game for the first time, the patch downloaded and applied. The disk is new too.

Any tips on what I can do? Is my game save corrupted or something? I really want to enjoy this game but the freezing is really making this a less than stellar experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

texts: What should my stat priority be for a demon hunter?

texts:
Having attempted to do some maths myself, and coming to a dead end, in an attempt to unify stat priorities for maximising damage on a Demon Hunter.
The main area of confusion lies in how to evaluate Sharpshooter, and its relationship with different types of weapons for Archery.
The furtherest I have gotten is a formula for Sharpshooter that doesn't account for the tapering off of crit and the 1 second crit linger after having crit, while ignoring Archery completely.
The question is:
Given a static amount of Dexterity, weapon DPS, attack speed, critical rate, critical damage, how should one prioritise the stats in order to maximise single target damage over a specific time period (t) as a Demon Hunter?
Related for damage calculation purposes:
How do the damage calculations work in Diablo 3?
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).

texts: What do Error Status Report codes mean on the Xbox 360?

texts:
If you've had any networking problems on the 360, done a network test then pressed Y for detailed status, you've seen a dialog like this (this one's not mine; thanks google image search):

What do all these codes mean? I don't think Microsoft tech support will tell us, perhaps for job security reasons.
I can guess some of them:

T = network Type (wired / wireless)
A = private Address / subnet mask
G = Gateway
D = DNS1 / DNS2
N = wireless access point Name (SSID)
S = wireless Security type

What about W, X, Y, Z, ID, L, Q and C? I think Q might be the error code, and MS does have an error code search page, but the explanation for code 80070435 (with I've had with a wired connection) is hopelessly uninformative.

Does anyone have any more information?

texts: How do I remove body parts from the two-handed spear?

texts:
In GORN, I have unlocked the two-handed spear. However, I can't get very far using this weapon, because it quickly gets clogged up with heads, limbs, hearts, etc. after I have killed a few enemies. There is no obvious way to remove these. The weapon becomes unusable, and I quickly die. For one-handed weapons, this situation is easy to deal with by scraping the body parts off with the other hand/weapon. This does not work with the two-handed spear, because both hands are needed to hold it. If I let go with one hand, the weapon goes into "noodle" mode, and I can't really do anything with it.

Am I missing something?

texts: Is the slim PS3 capable of playing PS1 and PS2 games?

texts:
I used to have one of the bulky PS3's (recently deceased) and in the future, I am planning on buying a slim PS3 since it has extra data space. Now one thing that I really liked about my old model was that it enabled me to play PS1 and PS2 games on it, especially since there were some games that I couldn't get to work on either that worked perfectly on the PS3.

As far as I'm concerned, the slim PS3 does not have any backwards compatibility. I've asked two of my friends, both of whom own the slim model, if there was any way of playing PS1 and PS2 games on the slim PS3. One friend told me that the backwards compatibility could be downloaded and once you did that, then you could play them. My other friend told me that you can't play them at all.

The reason I'm asking this is because I have some PS1 and PS2 games that I really liked playing on my PS3 and I fear that once I switch to a slim one, then I will no longer be able to play them  at all. In fact, if the slim model can't play them, I may consider buying another bulky model just so I can keep playing them.

So I ask of you, is there ANY way possible for me to play PS1 and PS2 games on a slim PS3?


texts: What are the chances of breeding a type of dragon?

texts:
I know there are base dragons, hybrid dragons and rare dragons (which are also generally a type of hybrid dragon).

From what I have read rare dragons are supposed to be, well, more rare. How does this compare to other dragon breeds though? So far I have gotten one Flower, Two Tree and (I think) two Moss dragons. Not a single Poison Dragon as of yet. It does not seem to be a rare dragon but then again I can not find anything marking any other dragon as a rare dragon.

Is breeding just a roll of the dice? You have a small chance to get a rare type otherwise its just equally random to get any other kind of dragon that is valid for the combination?

I recently purchased a Windows phone and used my account from my PC (the only account on the PC) for my phone aswell.

In Pyramids for the 3DS, you can apparently get three stars after completing a level. The one with the symbol of the open door appears to be given if you just complete a level, but the two other ones have me stumped. One is a bag of coins, and the other one is a bag of coins with a timer.

I assume the latter one has something to do with completing the level quickly, but what about the bag of coins star? It might have something to do with collecting treasure or coins in a level, but then again, some of the early levels don't seem to have treasure in them - so how would I get that star?

Am I right in my assumptions? If so, how do I get these stars?

texts:
I'm playing a game with Steaua Bucharest and my eventual goal is to win the UEFA Champions League. The problem is that I really need to increase my revenues in order to afford the top quality players. Currently, my merchandising revenue is pretty low (around 150k euro per month if I remember correctly).

So, what exactly influences the merchandising revenue:

How do feeder clubs work? Do I only need to find one, or do I need to loan a player from them etc.?
Does playing friendlies in high population countries like China and India help?
Does arranging friendlies with top quality teams help?

Any tips are welcome.

Is this process actually worth it?  If not, what should I be investing my mana in early in the game?

texts: PDP Afterglow controller for xb1 mic issue

texts:
So I got one of these controllers back in December (2015) and have had no issues until now. The usb cable it came with was garbage, would always disconnect when moved the wrong way, which if you game like most of us, it gets moved a lot.

I managed to add some tape to the plug to better fit it but still it would disconnect now and then. Today, it disconnected again only to immediately reconnect while I was hitting many buttons, (forza 6 drifting) and then it went into factory reset mode, (which I did not know at the time that's what it was) I though it was just a glitch, so I quickly unplugged it, only to power it back up and have my earphones work but not the mic, RB RT and right stick weren't working either. Went online and found out how to factory reset it but my mic still won't work, I can hear and adjust chat volume, but the mic won't work. It works on my phone and pc just fine. It also registers a headset is connected when its not, making me unable to use my kinect with a controller connected.

Anyone run into this and able to solve it? Or am I gonna have to contact PDP?

texts: How can I record insane action in Minecraft?

texts:
I used to make videos which had a lot of system-intensive gameplay, for example, 10,000 TNT exploding at the same time.

I used to have a modification that slowed the game down and recorded it frame by frame. I haven't used it since 1.2.5 and so unfortunately can't remember what it was called.

Video Example

I have a project which I want to result in a large explosion, and I will be using about 50,000 TNT. I have a better computer than I had then, but with shaders I would be hard pressed to find anyone that could pull it off. How could I record something like this?

I have attempted it without any special settings or modifications, and my Minecraft installation just crashes.

My current system specification is:

Nvidia GTX 660 Ti
16 GB Corsair RAM
Quad-core 3.8 GHz processor.
250 GB SSD and three 2 TB hard disk drives

texts: How can you go through single-height blocks?

This has been a constant source of annoyance for me. Scattered around the castles are darker walls where projectiles and - occasionally - players can squeeze through.

A specific room in the Forest that would have you go up and then down at the other side has such an area at the bottom that you can dash through. This seems to work nowhere else, however.

So: how do you do that? Is it the flexibility perk? Is it some kind of NG+-only rune? Is it some weird input combination? Is it something awfully obvious?

texts: Fixing Remote End Gateway Portals in Minecraft Survival 1.13+

texts:
I was cleaning up an older world that I play on with my kids, and removed all of the End Island chunks via MCEdit. After going back through our End gateway, we still teleport to the same remote Island, but the two End gateway portals to bring us back to the main island are gone.

/setblock -77 75 -56 minecraft:end_gateway{Age:0,ExactTeleport:0b,ExitPortal:{X:-982,Y:58,Z:-694}} replace

texts: Do Augments override the base item's stats?

texts:
I understand how the cube works to do the augmentation, but does it stack with the item's stat, or override it completely?

Edit: Because people seem to not understand, but was answered in comments..
I am not asking if the secondary rolls of augment stack, I am/was asking if it stacked with the underlying base stat of the item. The answer posted in comments is that it will stack under it's own name of the gem it was leveled with. For example (now that I moved forward and can give real example)..

Burden of the Invoker before:
[607 Strength]
[Other Stuff]

Burden of the Invoker after:
[607 Strength]
[305 Strength "Gem Name"] <- another stat
[Other Stuff]

Granted multipliers below are off, overall the focal point of question answered.
End Edit

For example:
- Armor Item with base stat of +600S

Add Augment Legendary lvl 50, Rubies = 750S

Would the resulting stats be +750S or 1350S?

So if you have a high roll already (say alter above hypothetical to 650) but has no vitality, would it be more worthwhile to not augment your base stat then?

Is there any way to get cupid's arrow, other than grinding?

The game I'm talking about is called Pangenesis.

https://pangenesisgame.com/

https://www.reddit.com/r/pangenesis

Info:

There's an item in Pangenesis called 'Cupids Arrow', which, when shot at any creature, (possibly including oneself, not sure) a half egg will be dropped. Combine any two half eggs to combine the species of each half egg into one full egg – two identical half eggs will make no changes.

The only way I've ever found Cupid's Arrows is by grinding – killing the Peeks and Arachnids in the Labyrinth, under the Town.

The question:

Is there any easier way to obtain Cupid's Arrows? Grinding is too tedious, and I would like to breed creatures easily. I've checked the shop of the Local, but he/she only sells Arrows, Bombs and Pickaxes...

Any help appreciated,

texts: Minecraft command to set item frame content from a chest content

texts:
In Minecraft Java 1.16, I can use the /data get block command to get the contents of a chest:
/data get block -121 76 105 Items[0]

Which tells me that the chest has one map#48 in the upper-left slot:
-121, 76, 105 has the following block data: {Slot: 0b, id: "minecraft:filled_map", tag: {map: 48}, count: 1b}

Also, I can use /data modify entity ..  set value command to set the contents of an existing item frame:
/data modify entity @e[x=-129,y=79,z=99,type=minecraft:item_frame,limit=1,distance=0..1] Item set value {id:"minecraft:filled_map", tag: {map: 48}, Count: 1}

Voila, the item_frame now contains a filled_map!
What's more, it also works if I add the spurious NBT data, like a Slot tag:
/data modify entity @e[x=-129,y=79,z=99,type=minecraft:item_frame,limit=1,distance=0..1] Item set value {Slot: 0b, id:"minecraft:filled_map", tag: {map: 48}, Count: 1}

So I was hoping to combine these commands, and set the item frame based on the chest contents using the /data modify entity ... set from block command:
/data modify entity @e[x=-129,y=79,z=99,type=minecraft:item_frame,limit=1,distance=0..1] Item set from block -127 76 105 Items[0]

Unfortunately, this gives an error: The target block is not a block entity.
I tried a few modification, by only setting the Item tags:
/data modify entity @e[x=-129,y=79,z=99,type=minecraft:item_frame,limit=1,distance=0..1] Item set value {Slot: 0b, id:"minecraft:filled_map", Count: 1}
/data modify entity @e[x=-129,y=79,z=99,type=minecraft:item_frame,limit=1,distance=0..1] Item.tag set from block -127 76 105 Items[0].tag

But again, I get the error The target block is not a block entity.
Is there a way to set an item frame content based on a chest slot?

On my server, we've lost the dragon egg so are trying to get it back using as little cheating as possible. Because of that, we're now looking in to ways to reset the dragon counter and make the original dragon appear again.

Have this dragon drop an egg without changing loot tables (NBT editing is fine though)
Keep the end intact

Having it drop the original 12k xp is fine.

Ideally, we'd do this using a command from the console, but other methods are acceptable. Hope you can help!


texts: Changes made to cities during Stormcloak civil war quests

texts:
What changes are made to Falkreath Hold, The Reach, Hjaalmarch and Haffingar after I complete the civil war quests siding with the Stormcloaks ?

First of all, I'm a deep role-player, so every detail is important, specially when it comes to dialogue.

Example:

  When I finished the Battle for Whiterun Quest, a option of dialogue was added to a lot of
NPCs regarding how they feel about the Stormcloaks in the city, some NPCs changed, like
new Jarl, Steward and Housecarl, and Heismkr can't enter his house anymore and he nows
sleep on a tent.

That's what I want to know, and more if you can give me, about each of the cities I mentioned on the first paragraph.


texts: Filling pages in a book without touching the other pages?

texts:
Once again, I'm up to something advanced: In my map, I want to include a fast travelling system. Since the distance between warp points will likely be larger than the render distance (thus setting any blocks next to one warp point with a command launched at another loading point won't work because all out-of-render-distance blocks are "outside of the world"), I thought a book with JSON-formatted text that warps you around is most likely to work.

The problem is that, as in a typical fast travelling system, players shall only be able to warp to warp points they already visited. That means, when a player reaches a warp point, that player should be able to perform some action that adds in the JSON-formatted text in his/her book dynamically. That wouldn't be a problem, if it weren't for the existing text in the book...

I decided to dedicate a whole page for each warp point, mainly because I thought pages should be easier to keep separate. If someone has a solution that only works on a smaller scope for whatever reason, feel free to post that too. Basically, what I need to do is add new text (with click event) to a written book, without overwriting the text that's already there.

I know I could restrict where the players can go, so that I know in advance what text the book already has. That would be against the concept of the map though, because it's meant to be 100% nonlinear (which is why I want a fast travelling system in first place). The option to call different commands based on what content the book already has also came to my mind, but was quickly rejected because I would need to go through every possible combination of active and inactive pages, so the contraptions would grow exponentially with the number of warp points. Separate books for each warp point would be somewhat of an option, but it's only a last resort because it obviously takes up lots of inventory space.

I would prefer the solution to be compatible with 1.8, but if there's really no way without walking into above flaws, I can also resort to a later version. Mods are OK (preferably Forge compatible) as long as the map is playable in Vanilla afterwards.

I was playing on my main save, looking for Daedric artifacts to get and realized I was missing the Ring of Hircine. My problem is when I went to the barracks in Falkreath, the guy (Sinding) was already in his wolf form and when I tried to talk to him, he wouldn't say anything.

When I spoke to the guard he said he knew I had something to to do with Sinding's escape, even though I never even played the quest on this save before (I've done it on another save). I've checked my completed quest twice and I don't know what's wrong? How can I start or advance the quest at this point?

texts:
I'n starting off on early quests in Fallout Shelter.

Inside the quest destinations are rooms that are blanked out by brickwork, hoarding etc and you can't see inside them or get your quest party in there.  I've cleared every room, defeated all enemies, spoken to any characters and the room is still blocked & the only option is to return home.  On the first Paula quest this room opened itself but I don't know how.  On the second one there is no key but there's a blocked elevator which I guess goes into it.  How do I get in?


texts: Another question on "Added Cold Damage Support"

texts:
I have another question on "Added Cold Damage Support". As you can see from the screenshot below:

It says that supported skills have 6 to 9 added cold damage. This support gem is linked to Burning Arrow gem:

I am having troubles understanding my resulting damage for Burning Arrow:

Why is main hand cold damage 16-24? What exactly was enhanced by this support gem?
This is what is equipped on me:

This my skill tree:

From the skill tree you can see that I have 71% increased projectile damage and 10% increased attack physical damage (does this damage even apply to rangers?)

texts: If a smoky potion is diluted, does it still have the same chance of producing a djinni as an undiluted smoky potion?

texts:
I have an opportunity to make quite a few smoky potions (in this case, booze) through alchemy, but I know that alchemy produces diluted potions. I also know that a diluted potion still has the same effect as undiluted. Still, the wiki says nothing about  dilution affecting the chances of producing a djinni (or, a ghost in the case of milky potions). I'd hate waste all the potential holy waters by converting and drinking them if they wont work, but I have enough to work the odds, IF they still have the same potential.
 I could use up to 6 charges in my polymorph wand, but that has such a high degree of of randomness that I would rather save them for bigger piles of items I've yet to accumulate. So, is it worth the effort, or are diluted potions somehow incapable of producing djinn ?


texts: I've recently started playing ESO and taken to blacksmithing as my primary profession. However, I can only currently make iron weapons/armour which give very little exp at lvl 2 blacksmithing and are quite weak in comparison to current equipment. I found and refined high metal ore but I am unable to make anything from it, saying, "You need metal working skill of lvl 2". Is metal working a separate skill that's levelled up passively in blacksmithing or is it a separate skill that I need to unlock? Furthermore, is there an efficient way to level up my blacksmithing at my current level without having to spend countless hours finding iron ore and smelting it?


texts: Dwarf fortress construction suspended - builder occupying site

texts:
I'm having a problem with building walls - some of my walls are suspend before they can be built. The suspension message is that there's a creature occupying the site. I've been watching and a dwarf will enter the space that the wall is to be built in, stand there for a while, I'd assume trying to build the wall, and then suspend the construction... so I think the builders themselves are the creatures in the way of building? Is that possible? How do I fix that?

Here's the layout:

X = built wall
0 = unbuilt problem wall
~ = water tile
_ = empty dirt tile

~_____________
~0__XXXX0XXXXX

texts: Target painters and their effectiveness on large targets

texts:
My understanding of the way missiles in EVE Online work is that if the signature radius of the target is lower than the explosion radius of the missile being fired at it, then the damage of the missile is reduced, and vice versa, if the sig radius is bigger than the explosion radius, then the damage is increased. 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. Furthermore, the increase in sig radius should also translate to better tracking for turrets, right?

I'm trying it out right now, and I -am- noticing an increase in overall DPS, but at the same time I just completed Missile Launcher Operation V and Cruise Missiles IV, so I can't tell just exactly how much of this is due to the TP, and how much of it is due to the skills. Could anyone lend a hand?

texts: Should "Cyan Paint" act differently to all other paint?

texts:
Playing on Xbox 360, I have been really getting into the player-made houses, and am currently building a set of "showcase rooms" for my painter.

I have placed 16 2x2 segments of wooden wall to display the base colours, and framed them with stone, to display the deep colours. Everything is pretty much complete. However; Deep Cyan does not appear to paint stone. I know that some tiles can not be painted, but I understood that this was specific to the tile, not the paint. As you can see in my image, I had no trouble painting any of the other frames.

I have attempted to paint the stone with Deep Cyan twice. The first time, you could see the tiny paint drops flick out, confirming that I had painted something. The second time, I cleared out my inventory, to make sure I was not accidentally using a different paint. This time, no paint drops, and still no colour.

Does Cyan/Deep Cyan Paint have different capabilities then every other paint, am I doing something wrong, or is this more likely just a bug?

texts: What happens after "level six" of Midnight Magic?

texts:
In the Atari 2600 game Midnight Magic, the board starts out as pink. if you hit all five of the colored bars at the top, the board changes to a navy blue (the color of the leftmost bar). If you then hit all of the colored bars, the board turns red (the color of the second bar), and so on.

I have always wondered what happens if you get to the point where the board is light blue (the color of the rightmost bar) and hit all of the bars. Unfortunately I have never been able to find out first-hand because the game gets harder with each "level".

Does anyone know?

texts: How should I play Cammy against a patient defensive Guile?

texts:
When matching up against defensive Guile players who

Throw sonic boom only from long distance.
When I get into EX spiral or spin knuckle distance, he just block low and wait.
Can block or FADC out of rushdown quite well.
In melee range he just do option-select with random flash kick > FADC.

The only way I can effectively get to him is EX hooligan when he throw sb from afar, but without ICS there isn't much meter.

I tried to use Guile to understand his weaknesses, however, when I use above strategy against Cammy I can win those who has much higher PP/BP than myself. I looked at match videos but these Guile players aren't very defensive, so I still don't know how advanced Cammy players deal with super defensive strategy.

I'm not selling my power to other cities, my powerplant is educated and not in danger of meltdown.  Every building is connected to road and supplied properly.  Why am I getting no power warnings from some buildings?  Sims are moving out and my population is decreasing!

Side note:  the power outages move around as well, one area will be affected, then get powered but will take away from another area.  This tells me there isn't enough to power the whole city, yet my meter says I have excess.  So what is going on?

texts:
I haven't played Diablo 3 in a while (maybe a year?) and I have recently created a Seasonal Barbarian Character. I have since beaten the game in ~4 hours and am halfway through my 2nd play through (ng+), and have yet to find any real challenge in the game - I beat Diablo in less than 2 minutes flat.

Additionally, I have gems, magic and rare items coming out of my nose, and I get a guaranteed unique drop on every boss, and occasionally on treasure goblins (of which there are many) and resplendent chests.

My character is:

Level 50
has ~400 hp/sec regen
has never taken more than 3/4 of hp worth in damage (which is regenerated within 10 seconds anyway) - and only from attacks from "Molten" or "Arcane" monsters; bosses do next to nothing.

I specifically remember the game being far more challenging the last time I played, my other Barbarian character (also at the same point) has encountered far less unique items, has far more trouble with the bosses, and needs 2 hands to count the number of times he died.

So do seasonal Characters alter the difficulty of the game at all?

Note: I have played the game multiple times before, with all other characters, and I have played the entire series as well, so this is not an issue with unfamiliarity with the game (i.e. "learning the ropes").

texts: Is it at all possible to install Portal 2 purely from retail DVD?

texts:
Does anyone know if it is at all possible to install Portal 2 purely from retail DVD? I purchased my copy just yesterday and after going to about 4% the installer has now begun hogging my bandwidth by pulling the remaining 96% from Steam (online).

I am hoping and praying that someone can advise how to install 96% of the game from disk and have Steam only download the remaining 4% - if at all that's possible. I've looked on the Steam forums too, but there seem to be numerous similar complaints.

It just beats the purpose of having a dedicated retail disk for install - which by the way is 5.6 gigs in size - and I would imagine it to contain most (if not all) of the file needed to complete a Portal 2 Steam-less installation.

Update- I'm running Win 7 x64. Here's a screenshot of the contents of the DVD. The Resources folder only contains various language versions of steam installer (English, Thai and Chinese). What's the deal with all those Portal2_disk1_x.sid files?

Update 2 - Just wanted to let everyone know that the download has completed after 14 long hours and the game works just fine!


texts: Ore capacity in mining rig limits production when away?

texts:
This is Rover. He refuels ships by biting them and wagging his tail (drilling).

Rover acts very differently depending on whether or not I'm watching him. Warping through a full day while he's under my direct control gives me X Liquid Fuel. But, if a day goes by when I'm gone, I get less than 1/6 X.

This problem appears to be independent of whether I supplement production with solar panels or use fuel cells. It seems, "away" production is limited by ore storage.

See that little ore tank on his head? The problem goes away if I use three large ore storage tanks instead. They add considerable weight to Rover, and in theory shouldn't be necessary, because the converter entirely consumes the ore output of the drills.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Are there any mods that correct this?

texts: Is it possible to drown splicers in an airlock in BioShock 2?

texts:
Having played BioShock 2 many, many times, there is still one stunt I haven't managed to pull off and I'm wondering if it is even possible.

Has anyone ever managed to get a splicer into an airlock with you and then cycle the airlock?

Multiple levels have airlocks that you can use more than once. There are two sets of them in the Fontaine Futuristics level, for example (from the Atlantic Express station to the "public" part of FF, and from there to the secret lab part of FF). It's possible to leave the secret lab portion and return to the public area, though for story purposes there is no real reason to do so. I've tried to get splicers to follow me into the secret lab airlock but could never get them to come all the way down the hall. That might just be a function of the leadhead splicer's AI though, since they are programmed to attack with ranged weapons and not to close the distance like a thuggish splicer would.

I usually don't bother to fully upgrade the Telekinesis plasmid (the difference between Telekensis 1 & 2 just doesn't seem to be worth the ADAM), so I wonder if I had Telekensis 3 might I be able to yank a splicer into the airlock?

Or is there some invisible wall that would prevent a splicer from entering an airlock? Big Daddies seem to be able to enter them, but they'll bludgeon your ass before you can cycle the airlock, and they shouldn't be able to drown anyway.

Once you do die though, you can put them in your dimensional vault. That doesn't sound like such a good idea if they break down immediately after I equip them, though...

I've decided to go for 100% completion in Dust: An Elysian Tail. So far everything's been going fairly smoothly.

There is, however, one exception. I seem to be missing a single item from a single room, and I am completely unable to find it. Here's the room in question, highlighted by a bright red circle:

This map is not my map. My map has the incomplete O in it.

I found the treasure chest easily enough, but it's still saying there's something here.

Where can I find my treasure?


texts: How do I get Serena to follow me after I completed the dawnguard quest line?

texts: I completed the dawnguard quest line and after killing Harkon I asked Serena to make me a vampire so I could travel back the soul cairn and get valerica to come back to tamriel. Than I cured myself of being a vampire and I got Serena to do the same. A few days later she came back to the dawnguard castle and after telling me she was now a human, I was not able to start a conversation with her. She would only say "yes?" Or "what do you need?" And that was it.

texts: How can I change the death wait to 1 second in COD4: Modern Warfare in free for all games?

texts:
I host a server for me and my friends (Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare).  We all enjoy playing hardcore but loath the wait (10 seconds after every death).  I found some commands for the server console for EVERY GAME MODE EXCEPT FREE FOR ALL!

Instead, we've just been doing Team Deathmatch but, with that, there doesn't feel like there is enough targets.

Here is the command I used to set the wait time to 1 second in Team Deathmatch:

/scr_war_numlives 0
/scr_war_playerrespawndelay 1
/scr_war_waverespawndelay 0

Now, does anybody know a possible way/command to make Free For Alls timer only 1 second or remove it completely?

A guess another possible solution would be to change the health that all players have in just normal core to being the amount that a hardcore player has (30?) and then the wait would be the same.

Anyways, any help is appreciated!


texts: What good is the "Support" class in Battlefield 3? How do you play it effectively?

texts:
Assault can heal and revive teammates.  Recon has a sniper-rifle.  Engineer can repair vehicles, and gets a rocket-launcher and proximity mines.  But Support, from what little I've played it, seems to just have extra ammo, which is not nearly as useful as every other class's specials.

What special things does Support do?  How do you effectively play as Support?


texts: Are villager price increases due to killing them temporary?

texts:
So I killed a villager, at the time I didn't know that it would cause the other villager's trade to increase by so much... and I was wondering how long they would keep it high? or if its a permanent thing?

I'm on Java 1.14.3.

Is there any other way to lower their prices other than defeating a raid?
