texts: Is the monthly loan fee non-refundable when a loan contract is terminated?

texts:
I just had the following face-palm moment: found out that a very interesting player was listed for loan, quickly moved in with loan offer, the salary wasn't much so I "snatched" him up. A little while later I noticed that my transfer budget is decreased pretty significantly, so I checked my transfer history to see what I spent the money on.

Turns out the contract had a £300K/mo fee which I have not paid attention to. Figured I don't need the player for such a cost, and that I had better use of that £3.6M. I terminated the loan next day (in-game), but my budget has not increased. The transfer expenditure is consistent with my calculation, i.e. players I bought + £300K * 12.

What makes sense is that my team is charged for the month, but the remaining 11 months transfer budget is returned. However it doesn't seem to be the case here. Does anybody know if this is a permanent situation, or until the next month?


texts: Can I still get a specific ending in Witcher 3 although I have the condition for a "better" one?

texts:
I'm almost at the end of the game.
I've read that

   bringing Ciri to the emperor

is a main condition for

   her becoming the empress.

However, I would prefer my ending to

   have Ciri become a Witcher.

Is this still possible? FYI, on the other possible options I

   had a snowball fight with her and refused Emhyr's monetary reward.

The World of Tanks Master badges are awarded for earning more experience in a battle than 50% (3rd class) 80% (2nd Class) 90% (1st class) and 99% (Ace tanker) of recent players in that tank.

Do those figures take into account bonuses? In other words is the score that is matched against other players include the 2x 3x etc for first win of the day?


texts: How can I complete the "Yippee-ki-yay..." achievement from "The Dig" mission in Starcraft 2 without Vikings?

texts:
The title pretty much sums it up. I am replaying some missions in Hard mode to complete achievements, and I am stuck with this one ("The Dig" mission in Hard mode).

I watched this video series:

            . That strategy with Vikings seems nice, but I played this mission without unlocking Vikings first.

Has anyone completed this achievement without Vikings and would have a nice strategy?


texts: Does time pass on a Minecraft SMP server if nobody is logged on?

texts:
I have a private Minecraft server where we are 2 people playing.

Earlier today I logged on, observed it was night, and logged back off.

Then I logged on just now, it was day again.

In the meantime, I know the other player has not been online.

So my questions (they are related) are these:

Does time pass in Minecraft if the server is running, but nobody is online?
Can I use this to my advantage to:

Cook or smelt things in furnaces while I'm offline?
Plant trees or other things before I log off and log back on to them being grown?
Get grass to spread while I'm offline?

This might be a related question, but if not, please just leave a comment and I'll take it out to avoid having a too broad question:

Does time only pass in a region if players are in the region? Like, if both of us are online, then I log off, and the other player is far away, does "time pass", like trees grow, furnaces run, etc. in the region he's not in? I would imagine that would take a load on the server if there are large explored areas.

texts:
I'm a veteran Civilization V player, but I'm having difficulty with the huge tech-web in Civilization: Beyond Earth. The fan-out is just too big: I start out with like 8 unlocked options, and it seems that every non-leaf one opens like 4 more.

I've installed Colorful Tech Web and More Tech Filters but I'm still getting lost whenever I need to make a choice, especially in the early game (it gets easier in the late game when I'm mostly after specific things).

In Civilization V the tech tree had 4-5 lanes and I mostly had a feeling of where stuff would be: naval at the top, then culture/religion, then science and food, then production and cavalry and finally infantry and artillery. Roughly. I can't figure out any equivalent system in Beyond Earth - everything feels just scattered randomly all over the place.

Maybe I just need more practice to start feeling my way around, but I'd appreciate any general tips that will help me with that, and I'd especially like to know whether I can characterize directions in the tech-web similar to the way I have characterized lanes in CiV.

texts:
I am playing as a Jainist character in south of India, where I created a kingdom title with primogeniture succession. Jainist allows you to select your heir so whether it is primogeniture or ultimogeniture or whatever does not really strictly matter.

However, interesting things started happening once I inherited three kingdoms (by marrying a neighbouring queen and designating our child as the heir). She had a mixture of succession laws, some were primogeniture and some were gavelkind.

Now I thought if I change succession in all gavelkind kingdoms to ultimogeniture, my selected heir would become the heir of every kingdom. However, unexpectedly, the actual youngest child is now the heir of ultimogeniture kingdoms, while the selected heir is only the heir of kingdoms with primogeniture...

Can someone shed some light on the mechanics of Indian succession with mixed succession laws?

texts: How does +1 upgrades affect a battle in Starcraft 2?

texts:
What does +1 mean in Starcraft 2? I know it is a +1 level upgrade for weapons or armor, but how does this affect the battle?

Let's take a Terran Marine. With no upgrades it deals 6 points of damage. I assume this means that on one shoot burst on another Terran Marine for example, the enemy you're shooting at will lower its life from 45 to 39.

How many life points will the Terran Marine with +1 weapons upgrade take from an no upgrades enemy Terran Marine then?

I've found a few E-Tech weapons but my buddies and I weren't 100% sure how to identify them at a glance. The things I've noticed is that all the E-tech guns I've seen use more than one bullet, have multiple special effects listed, and have a specific reddish purple color.

I'm thinking the color is the key but I've gotten other purple guns; not the same shade of purple though. I wasn't sure if the shades indicate rarity (like shades of orange in Borderlands 1) or if that shade of reddish purple is specific to E-tech.


texts: In kittens game, why did researching Pumpjack reduce my oil production?

texts:
After reseting a game with a few chronospheres, I eventually got to researching "Pumpjack" in the Workshop. But my oil production went from +.15 to -.25 when I did that. Was this a bug where my oil refine rate was kept from before the reset until i researched this? Or is this a bug where the "Pumpjack" upgrade just isn't working? It definitely seems like a bug tho.

Update: Actually, it seems that when I researched "Pumpjack", my oil well (i only had one built) was disabled. Still seems like a bug for that to happen.


texts: Dolphin emulator: Mouse cursor only works sometimes

texts:
I have Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the Dolphin Emulator. Since I have to point for certain things and use the joystick on the nunchuck for general movement (and I don't have a USB sensor bar), I want to play with the nunchuck in my left hand and the computer mouse in my right hand, while the Wiimote just lies around (because I don't have a third hand).

I've set mouse up/down/left/right to move my cursor in the game up/down/left/right (I don't remember the name of the setting right now) and that works fine, except that it only does so sometimes. The in-game cursor appears and disappears seemingly randomly, sometimes for a second, sometimes for 10 minutes, sometimes until I restart the emulation or change the configuration of the controller and change it back.

Setup:
American version of Super Mario Galaxy 2 (SB401?)
Dolphin 5.0 (ac267a29405ae768037a8774b84b805a4180d1af)
Windows 7 Professional 64bit +SP1

How can I make the cursor reliable?

I've just got round to playing Bioshock 2 and I've been getting through it fairly well, despite the fact that the graphics strain my system.

I've just got through the Pink Pearl in Siren's Alley, and put the code into the door to get to the pumping station. They cut the power and all hell broke loose.

However, before I get the chance to defend myself, the game crashes. It's replicable and I can't seem to get the game to get past that point. It has a brief freeze and then crashes to desktop with no specific error.

I use Windows 8.1, 8GB RAM, i7 3630QM, GeForce 740m.

All my drivers are up to date, the game is up to date, I have tried verifying the integrity of the Steam cache.

What can I do to progress past the point of this crash?

texts: How to determine what weapons can I craft?

texts:
In Alpha 13, you no longer have a recipe for mechanical weapons (pistols, rifles, etc.) but instead, you click on a found part, and you have an "Assemble" option, where you can remove/replace parts on that weapon. If you fill all of the required slots, you click "Close" and the weapon is crafted.

The issue that I have is that I know I've read several recipes, like the sniper rifle and pistol, but since they don't show up on my crafting list, how can I possibly know which ones I've learned without writing them down externally to the game?

Normally I'd just read everything I find so it's a non-issue, but I'm in desperate need of paper, so I'd really like to scrap anything that I don't need to read. Without remembering that I know any particular schematic, is there any other way of knowing which ones I have already learned?

Also, I see the learned/total ratio in the crafting screen, that looks like 45/65 recipes learned or whatever. Does that 65 number (or whatever the max number is, I'm not able to check right now) include all of the above schematics? In other words, when it reads 65/65, do I know that I can craft literally anything in the whole game?

texts: Minecraft: score_name_min with score_name not working

texts:
So I was doing a command creation where I can create my own food in Minecraft.

One of my commands is this command, which is what I am talking about that is not working:

testfor @a[score_name_min=0,score_name=0]

The command block should say this if I am not tested, right?:

samplePlayer don't match the data structure... something like that

or if I am found, it should say:

Found samplePlayer

but instead of showing these responses, it shows none. Really none.

I also tried this using /give command, like this:

give @a[score_name_min=0,score_name=0] minecraft:carrot 1 0

but still the same, nothing happened. The command didn't respond, even though my score in objective name is 0.

My goal here is to get my exact score. Because if I just typed: testfor @a[score_name_min=0], the command will test every entity in the world who has a score of 0 or higher at objective name.

So can anyone help me, how can I make this work?

My main problem, to make the problem more specific, is to make score_name work, because every time I use score_name only, the command won't work.

texts:
Many Blizzard games allow to cancel animations, so units can move farther while shooting. Warcraft (DOTA) and Starcraft are good examples where you can invest APM to make your units more effective.

I found this video where some guy demonstrates this for the Demon Hunter. It seems very effective and you can move farther than "normal" kiting where you wait for the animation to finish.

Is this also considered a bug, like the higher DPS with clicking? Should I bother to learn how to do this or will they fix it? I mean it is a bit unfair as melee characters do not have this option.

In Halo 5, is there any "best" way to kill prometheans? With the dog-like ones, it seems like headshots are effective.

Am I wrong about this? It's very hard for me to tell because there doesn't seem to be knock-back with Prometheans.

What's the optimal way to kill Prometheans of each type?

It would also be nice to know how this limit is picked because I might be able to strategically take advantage of it when determining my max bid to know what someone else might have to bid in order to win the item from me.

texts:
I have two Steam games that require different configurations in the Steam/settings/Controller/GENERAL CONTROLLER SETTINGS page that I would like to somehow be able to change with a script. Here is the location of the settings:

I'd like to use a .bat file to toggle between the two different configurations. The two setups are as follows:

1 - Resident Evil 4 UHD which requires that all joysticks are disabled as I am using x360ce.exe to handle my joystick mappings for this game:

2 - Prey which requires that some joysticks are enabled:

I'd like to toggle between these 2 setups with a .bat file command so that I can add these to startup launchers so that I do not have to manually go to these settings each time I play each game.

I have read that Steam console commands support .bat files but I have no idea which console commands govern these joystick configurations, or how to use a .bat file to add arguments while launching the game. Perhaps there is simply a way to use launch options for each individual game that will use its own joystick preference?

texts: How do I defeat the Flagship with an Engi ship, focusing on Ion Weapons?

texts:
So I flew this absolute leviathan into battle with the final boss; all shields up and maxed out hull. I've taken on the boss multiple times before and failed miserably every time; the very first time I was flying the stock ship and pushed it to it's third form. This was my third attempt at the game. 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.

Anyone else using Ions and the Engi cruiser for a shot at the boss? Before anyone says I should have spent the scrap I had saved up (~720 by the time I actually got to the Boss), I was using every single power bar there for dodging, shields, Ions, guns and drones.

texts: When to play The Old Hunters? During the first run or NG+?

texts:
I'm doing my first Bloodborne run. I beat the boss of Byrgenwerth.

Currently I have the option of playing the new DLC, The Old Hunters.

If I waited until I finish my first run, it means I have to play the game again on NG+ in order to be able to play the DLC.

But according to what I read, recommended level to play the DLC is > 80

If that is true, it means that the DLC is even harder than the final stage of the game.

So when to play the DLC? Now during my first run? Or wait for NG+?

The current FOB event mission, Bound Dragons (now coming around for the second time, and presumably recurring again in the future) features guards who all wear riot suits with full helmets. As in single-player, There's no way to take them out with a tranquilizer weapon, not even through the small gap between their helmet faceplate and chest protection. It seems like most rifles can't shoot off their helmets, and most shotguns won't even knock them down. (I haven't developed any of the high-grade online-only weapons, but I have the highest offline grades.) This is a big step up from the typical FOB guards in Battle Dress, who can fairly easily be taken out with headshots from lethal or tranquilizer weapons.

I mostly used CQC on riot suit guards during single-player, and now I'm struggling to find what else I can use to take them out. I know they're not protected from sleep grenades. The Brennan or Serval can kill them with a headshot, through their helmet. The rocket arm can stun them (I don't know if the blast arm can kill them). And Snake's running punch will knock them out and knock off their helmet. Since I'm trying to go non-lethal when possible, I've been mostly just using the rocket arm when playing this event, but that leaves me stuck with the Serval if I'm spotted or don't have time to fire the rocket arm.

Can any other weapons take out riot suit guards with one hit, or knock off their helmet to leave them vulnerable? Non-lethal and silent is preferable (e.g. if a high-grade shotgun can stun them) but lethal is acceptable.

texts: I tried to find word in Mount Anthor but it seems that I have read the word, even though I haven't had that word. Why?

texts:
I noticed that I have only one word for ice form.
Arngeir does not show me any more words.
So I look up the web and try to find those words my self.
I went to https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Form
It says that the words are in
Frostmere Crypt, Mount Anthor, and Saarthal
Because I already have ice, I supposed the next word, flesh, will be in mount anthor.
I went there but I have read the word. Nothing glowing again.
My understanding maybe wrong here. It seems that each word always show up in a specific location right?
For example, the word for ice form is ice flesh statue.
Given the location is

Locations: Frostmere Crypt, Mount Anthor, and Saarthal

according to https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Form
I would expect the word ice to be in Frostmere Crypt, flesh to be in Mount Anthor, and statue to be in Saarthal right?
I went to mount anthor and I do not see any words.
Here is a screenshot of me in mount anthor. As you can see I do not have the word flesh. Yet I do not see any glowing texts either


texts: Why is there no voice audio during Watch_Dogs cutscenes?

I can't expand much more on the question, it says mostly everything. I have all my audio settings maxed. There is audio during the phone calls while roaming, however as soon as a cut scene starts, only voice audio is gone, everything else, like sound effects and music, is fine.

I was wondering how this might be fixed, and what may be causing it.

texts: Did playing Hearthstone during the beta grant any benefits that can't be matched by playing the game later?

texts: Playing Hearthstone during the beta might have granted players more experience as well as more cards to play with. These are both benefits that may be matched by playing more later. However, some games grant beta players exclusive content such as gear or achievements that players get to keep even after the beta. To players that didn't play the beta, this content would then be lost forever. Did playing the Hearthstone beta grant beta players any such content?

texts:
In the first Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) there are three ways to improve your dialogue options, i.e. get people to do what you want them to do without using the good ol' glowstick:

The Persuade skill can be leveled up to improve your chances of passing the common [Persuade] dialogue options.
The Affect Mind force power can be chosen to unlock additional dialogue options through Jedi persuasion techniques. Comes up in the dialogue as [Affect Mind]:

  Affect and Dominate Mind enable persuasive use of the Force. Once a Jedi has this power, extra options will appear in conversations as appropriate. Success is not guaranteed for extreme commands or if the target is strong willed.

Then there is the Dominate Mind force power, which is the upgrade of Affect Mind:

  Dominate Mind is more powerful than Affect Mind, and very few beings can resist its effects. This power does not affect droids. Only the main player character can select this power during level-up.

As you can see, the description for Dominate Mind is very vague. My understanding was that it simply improved the existing [Affect Mind] dialogue options in a way to work in some cases where Affect Mind would fail. But this is only speculation. So my question:

What exactly does Dominate Mind do that Affect Mind won't? Are there any concrete examples where Affect Mind fails and Dominate Mind succeeds?
Does Dominate Mind unlock additional dialogue options anywhere in the game? If so, where?

Basically I am trying to determine if there is any reason to get this force power, or what it actually does. Most discussions I came across were based on hearsay and speculation, so it would be nice to get some facts on this.

How can I be an affective player with Irelia in late-game and teamfights? When chasing down enemies or 1v1'ing I feel like she excels throughout the whole game. During teamfights, however I target the squishy champs, and I usually kill one before I die. Sometimes if I don't get a kill or without me there after I die, my team loses the teamfights, which often costs us a few towers or even the game.

I feel like with Irelia I'm doing really well and helping me team win, but as soon as we hit teamfighting phase I just hit a wall, and I'm either trading 1:1 or dying more than I kill. I feel that I should be playing this way since Irelia is an assassin, sorta, but I feel like I'm not benefiting from it late game. So how can I play her better during late-game and teamfighting?

I've only played this game for a few hours and this is the first strategy game I've ever played, so go easy on me :)

I started, built roads, provided services, etc. the normal way, but for some reason, it seems like no matter what you do, because there is no standalone and definitive way of earning money, your income will become negative, no matter what, pulling you towards dept, which prevents you from building and providing, causing people to leave, further decreasing your income.

If you cut services, people will leave because you cut their services.
If you increase the tax rate, people will leave because they won't afford it.
So what should I do?

Buildings and services raise money, but in dept, you can't build anything. So, what is the solution?

I tried to carefully balance the taxes and budgets, but it only has minimal effect on the cash flow, and it doesn't rescue you from any dept.

Which one of these should I try to raise money without having to build?
(except loans, bailouts, tax hikes, and service cuts)
bulldozing parts of city to make it smaller?
De-zoning roads?
Destroying districts?
making strict policies?
Which one? Any other solutions? Because tax hikes and service cuts only temporarily increase the cash flow, but do not rescue you from a -10K dept and -3000/week cash flow. What should I do?

Rymgrand's avatar (the titular Beast of Winter) will ask you to give him the artefact, giving some cryptic warning, but he doesn't press the matter. In the end, you can safely take it out to the normal world and use it as a trinket:

I got a PS3 of craigslist from a guy in my area (about 25 miles). It is an original 60GB piano black model with a card reader.

Anyhow, after the 3.55 system update it will not play Blu-Rays anymore. According to what I read online from searching, there was a problem with something like 1% of PS3 have a "bricked" Blu-Ray player after the update.

The drive still works, it just only plays PS2 (DVD) games, did not try any PS1 games.

What I am wondering is there any chance that upgrading the machine to system software 3.60 which came out would "unbrick" the Blu-Ray player?

If not is there anything else I could try?

Further more, if there is nothing else I can do, can someone point me to a reputable repair facility that can fix the system, the system is OUT OF WARRANTY

Thanks for any help in advance.

I never intentionally stray by a temple, but from time to time, either by traveling over one by boat or entering mines/tunnels underneath one, the animation (and sound) will play, genuinely scaring me and making me jump (I'm jumpy, okay?).

texts: Are there requirements to unlock the masteries in Guild Wars 2?

texts:
I recently came back to Guild Wars 2 and bought the expansion.

Now I have a Revenant on level 80, the only requirement I know of.

Are there any further requirements for me to level my masteries? If so: What are they?

Another question is where can I level my masteries, after the requirements (if any) are completed?


texts: Can I roll a Steam game back to a previous version?

texts:
The new No Man's Sky update (PC) has rendered my game practically unplayable with how often it crashes. Is there a way to roll it back to the previous version on Steam, at least until they fix the bugs?

(The question "How to downgrade to a previous game's version?" seems to be specific to a particular game from one particular developer, in beta, and the solutions do not appear to apply.)


texts:
I just got Witcher 3 and was so excited to play it, but I can't enjoy it. The game crashes every few minutes (around 5 minutes) without a warning. I'm playing it on highest graphics but as it runs smoothly I guess the graphics aren't the issue. One time it crashed when a cutscene came up, another time in the middle of a fight.

My OS is Windows 8.1, I hope you can help me to get the game running

EDIT: Downvotes, telling me the reason would be helpful, thanks


texts: What does the Disharmony DLC add to Endless Space?

texts:
I bought Endless Space recently in a bundle with the Disharmony DLC.

In my experience sometimes such addons are used to fix all sorts of issues and generally improve all aspects of the game. In other cases, they add extra complexity that is appreciated by experienced players but increases the learning curve for newbies.

What exactly is added by the Disharmony DLC?

texts: Clearing the player of an item that does NOT have a custom name on it

texts: I am working in 1.14 and I have this code: clear @a minecraft:wooden_sword 1 which is simply clearing the player of any wooden sword that they have in their inventory.  However, I would like this to happen only to any wooden sword that doesn't have a custom name on it.  So if I have a wooden sword called "Test" in the inventory and I run that command on a repeating command block, that particular wooden sword is not cleared from the inventory.  But any sword with the default name Wooden Sword is cleared.


texts: What are the special effects for each damage type, and when do they trigger?

texts:
I've noticed that when I use a weapon with cold damage, every attack "snares" my targets, even when I don't use any skill or item which explicitly snares or slows. I'm guessing this is due to the cold damage.

Do other damage types have a special effect this way? If they do, what are those effects?
Does it also happen if I get a bonus damage from a source which is not directly on the weapon? e.g. if I have a ring which adds cold damage, will all my attacks snare?
Do these special effects always trigger on attack, or only under certain conditions?

texts: Minecraft: sweepAttack particles upon attack with a diamond sword and detect direction

texts: I need some help with a cool command I'm trying to make using either 1 or multiple command blocks in 1.10. I'm trying to activate the sweepAttack particle based on the direction the player is facing upon an attack to an entity. Not only that, I'd like to make the attack look and act like a barrage of attacks hence the usage of the sweepAttack particle. So to sum up what I'm trying to make is: whenever a player attacks an entity there will be 5 individual attacks with 1 swing of a sword or any other thing in your hand along with the sweepAttack particle based off of the direction the player is facing to add a bit of realism to it. Can you help me make this possible in-game?


texts: Are all the Just Cause games along the same timeline?

texts:
From what I've heard, all three protagonists in the three Just Cause games are named "Rico Rodriguez" (I know that's what Just Cause 3's protagonist is named, and I believe the same is for JC2). That makes it sound like they're all the same guy, so does that mean the Just Cause games take place one after another?

One more piece of evidence I have that they are in the same timeline is that Rico is welcomed back home in JC3, so he possibly left? However, the JC3 map is different from the JC2 map.

texts: Give a custom item_frame item a special ID I can later use to target with /data

texts:
G'Afternoon,
So I'm trying to /minecraft:give myself an item_frame item that has some sort of special id/name that I can later use /data (or /execute then data) on in order to switch specifically those item frames to being invisible (or visible).
That is to say, I should later on be able to run a command, and that specific set of item frames should react to it, leaving all "normal" frames intact. I'm doing this mostly because it can be difficult to tract down accidentally placed invisible item frames.
I can't find a way to get the placed Item Frame entity to retain the name of the item, nor how to add such data to the item that will be passed along.
My latest effort was this:
/minecraft:give @s minecraft:item_frame{display:{Name:"\"Invisible Frame\""},EntityTag:{Invisible:1b,CustomName:{"text":"InvisibleFrame"},CustomNameVisible:0b}} 1
Only the Invisible:1b is passed to the item frame entity, the rest doesn't make it through. i have checked this with /data get.
What to do from here? And once I do have a custom name on it, how can I pick up that custom name with a specifier in @e[]?


texts: How exactly does the gold sharing for ward kills work?

texts:
Patch 3.9 added ward kill gold sharing. That is, whenever a ward is killed, the killer gets a share of the gold, and the person who revealed the ward gets a share of the gold. This means that a support who places a Vision Ward at Dragon will get a share of the 30 gold reward if a team mate clears a ward there.

What happens if more than one person reveals the ward? For instance, if a ward is revealed by both a pink ward and an Oracle's Elixir? How will the gold be split?

In Strikefleet Omega what is the best fleet layout to farm megacreds in survival mode?

Right now my layout to farm Megacreds is like following:

mining carrier
commander carrier and 2 star fighter carriers with fighters circulating around other carriers
interceptor carrier with fighters circulating around other carriers
bomber carrier with fighters circulating around other carriers, and dispatched toward heavy enemy when they arrive.
artillery ship for groups of enemies and Alien Credit Saucer that drops Megacreds

All ships are level 3 Alloy-unlockable ships. I have farmed enough Alloy to purchase every Alloy upgrade.

Now I farmed enough Megacreds to unlock the Tesla class Gunship, so I am thinking to replace a bomber carrier with a Tesla class, but I found aiming is a little hard as I usually play survival farming in fast forward mode. Is there a better fleet to farm Megacreds?


texts: How to link an item in Diablo 3 on Console (Xbox One)

texts:
On PC I seem to remember that I could link an item in chat so that my friends in the same session can see what I just got. I mean, besides being able to kill stuff faster, what point is there for getting new shiny loot if I cannot brag about it...

So, on Console, and from my point of view, Xbox One, is this possible, besides opening up a trade and placing it in there, or dropping it on the ground?

I know I can inspect my friends characters to see what they have, so I know that there are ways to see the items, but linking, is this possible? Just "See what I just got"?

I have played just about every MOBA game to date. Using numpad 789456 simply doesn't work for item hotkeys. I like the way LoL uses 1-6 for item hotkeys, and I like the way SC/War3/DotA uses 1-6+ for control groups. I would like to use 1-6 for my items, but then that takes away my ability to use those for control groups. I know not a lot of heroes have the need for control groups, but I can't help but feel like I shouldn't change them and that I'm stuck in terms of what to do with my hotkeys. I have heard of suggestions of alt+QWEASD, but that takes away hotkeys that are used for toggling autocast.

Are there any alternatives I'm unaware of or are not remembering?


texts:
I've just been looking at some Hidden Abilities to see what might be good to aim for.

One such Ability is Pickpocket. According to the information I've found, it will steal the opponent's held item if the opponent makes contact.

I've noticed that simultaneous abilities generally work in an order that benefits the user. For instance, when an opponent uses Drain Punch on my Ferrothorn+Rocky Helmet, it will absorb HP before taking damage from Iron Barbs and the item, while in theory in a realistic situation the attacker would be hurt when the punch lands, before any health is drained.

So what happens if a Pickpocket with no item takes an attack that would KO it in one hit, but the attacker made contact and is holding a Focus Sash? Would the Pickpocket ability activate first and steal the item, thus allowing the thief to survive, or would the damage be too much for the ability to activate?

texts: Headset Cross Compatibility for PS4 and X1

texts:
I'm currently the owner of the PlayStation 4 Pro, and I use the Astro A40 headset with the TR MixAmp.  I'm seriously considering getting the Xbox One X, and I'm wondering if my headset would be compatible (as is) with the new console.

I was under the impression that the TR MixAmp was not compatible with the Xbox One.  I'm assuming this is because the PS4 can accept microphone input through both USB and the 3.5mm jack on the controller.  This means I can either use the MixAmp and connect through USB, or just plug the headset itself directly into the controller through the 3.5mm jack.

The MixAmp provides obvious benefits, so I was wondering if anyone is aware of the Xbox One's capability to accept microphone input through USB instead of solely through the jack in the controller.  Can I use the TR MixAmp, or will I have to buy the MixAmp M80 to be able to use my Astro A40 headset w/ the Xbox One?

texts: Would resetting Trainer ID help in terms of shiny chances?

texts:
The shininess of a pokemon is determined by a formula that includes the Trainer ID and Secret ID of the user in the games, along with the Personality value of the pokemon.

Since doing a soft reset to get a shiny starter pokemon, you are only reseting the personality value of Pokemon, you're only letting RNG affect two of the values in the 4 part formula.

Would it be mathematically beneficial to reset the trainer ID (and by doing so also the secret ID) of the player when shiny soft resetting? I was thinking something like resetting the ID every 50-100 attempts.

texts: How does Sombra's "Power Outage" achievement works?

texts:
One of the two Sombra's achievements is "Power Outage", which description is the following:

  Hack 6 enemies at once as Sombra in Quick or Competitive Play.

I heard many people say that you could only unlock this achievement when hacking the whole enemy team with EMP. The achievement doesn't mention this skill though, and only mentions that you need to hack 6 enemies. My idea is that it could be possible to hack one enemy with Sombra's Hack ability, and then to reach the 5 other members of the enemy team and to use EMP to hack the rest of them, making all the 6 players technically hacked.

Would it be possible to get the achievement this way, or is the achievement misleading and it is only possible to get it by hacking the 6 members of the enemy team with EMP?


texts: What factors determine enemy levels? How do enemy levels scale to the player character's?

texts:
I finished Playthrough 1 at around Level 36. I noticed that the enemies I find are now very easy to kill, meaning they didn't level up (or hit a level cap). I decided to started Playthrough 2 to fight higher level enemies and play the DLCs. I went to Jakobs Cove ('The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned' DLC) and found out that the enemies are at least level 42. I couldn't even get to the first objective without being eaten by zombies.

I noticed a similar thing in Playthrough 1 too: some missions and the enemies I encounter in those missions are of a higher level that what my current level is, making those missions a bit challenging until I level up.

So, for each of the playthrough modes, what factors determine enemy levels?

Specifically, I would like to know:

I've played Borderlands 2 before Borderlands 1. How similar is Borderlands 2's enemy leveling system compared to Borderlands 1?
Are enemy levels affected by what level a character accepted a mission? (Similar to Borderlands 2?)
How does Playthrough 1, 2 and 2.5 affect enemy levels?
Are there fixed enemy levels on specific areas or missions? What are the level requirements for an area or mission for each of the playthrough modes?
Any enemy leveling differences specific to the DLCs areas or missions?

texts: Does weaker enemies bill affect item leveling?

texts:
In Disgaea 3, if I pass a weaker enemies bill it will make it easier to get farther into an item when I enter an item world. Will this have any negative impact on leveling the item?

For example, if I want to get my item past level 30, say, but can't because the enemies are too difficult, I could level up my team some more - or I could just pass a weaker enemies bill and be able to get to item level 40.

Would the end level 40 item be any different if I did it with weaker enemies than if I did it with normal (or even strongest) enemies?

Secondarily, how would weaker enemies affect pirate spawns or anything else while leveling the item?

/fill -884 28 977 -889 25 972 minecraft:dispenser 0 replace {Items:[{id:"tnt",Count:64b,Slot:0b}]}

I cut the filling slot to 1 because it won't fit in chat but all this command does is completely fills my selected area with filled dispensers. It doesn't selectively replace empty dispensers, which is what I want. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.


texts: Do I need to play The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav before playing Memoria?

texts:
Is Memoria a direct sequel to Chains of Satinav, or is it just a sequel "in spirit?"

Do I need to play Chains of Satinav to understand the story of Memoria?
Will playing Memoria first ruin the storyline of Chains of Satinav?

texts: What is the most economical Zerg opening?

texts:
Zerg macro openings must balance the timing of:

Spawning pool
Hatchery at natural expansion
Queen

Early spawning pool or hatchery means sacrificing drones to afford it, but means more larva to produce more drones. What is the most economically-optimal build order for Zerg?

My computer crashed and my level.dat, level.dat_old and player data were 0 bytes.
I knew the seed, so I created a new world with the same seed and copied all the files from the old world (apart from the level.dat and level.dat_old) into it.

The world is back but my Recipe Book is broken.
There are no entries in it, and if I pick something up, e.g. Planks, it doesn't add new recipes. Normally, when you pick up something new it should show a popup and add new items to the Recipe Book.
If I craft something from memory then that does get added to the book, but things I haven't crafted yet and related items are not shown.

The level.dat has a player tag with a Recipe Book tag in it, however, this doesn't seem to store the triggers.

I am okay with my old Recipe Book being lost, but how do I reset the triggers so that Minecraft thinks that anything I pick up is "new", and adds items to the book?

texts: Do either of these statistics provide any tangible benefit for casters (possibly excluding melee-spec wizards)?  Or are they just wasted points?


texts: Is there a way to stop gaining experience in World of Warcraft?

texts: I've reached a certain level. I want to be able to queue lower level dungeons in the dungeon/party finder without becoming too high for them. Is there a way to stop leveling or do I simply have no option but to keep leveling?
