texts:
In BF3 on PC I remember using bipods early on, but since about december/januari they simply don't work at all anymore. The animation is not there and neither is the effect (I'm spraying all over the place with the machine guns).

I tried switching on and off the bipods on all kinds of guns. None work.

I tried picking up a kit from someone I saw using a bipod... nothing.

I know I need a flat surface, but even when I'm flat on the ground.

Is there a setting that could cause this? A bug? Do I need to reinstall BF3 completely?


texts: Xploder Minecraft Diamond Edition doesn't detect players

texts:
My little sister bought the Xploder Minecraft Diamond Edition and we are really annoyed at the lack of help given when setting it up. We've tried all week to set up the software. Recently it came to my attention that the software is not detecting the player. This means we cannot save any maps.

We've checked that the USB stick is not the problem nor the player files.

Is there a way to make the players show up? They are definitely saved onto the USB stick.


texts: "Hotdogging" achievement, what are the parameters?

texts:
The achievement in question is to summon 3 zombie dogs at once, without using the summon zombie dog skill.

I tried using "Circle of Life", which took a while, but when I finally got 3 dogs, no achievment. I did not even have Summon Zombie dogs on my bars...

I would like to know if anyone knows the parameters of this achievement?
What qualifies for this achievement, and what disqualifies you? Or is it just buggy?


texts: How do I prevent Death Stranding from auto-equipping blood bags?

texts:
I want to save my blood bags for fighting BTs with hematic grenades. I rarely fall down, but once I do the game always equips a blood bag and starts giving me a transfusion even when I specifically and consciously did not have a bag equipped.
The description of the blood bag makes it sound as if new bags will only be switched if you empty an equipped bag, but this is not the behavior I'm seeing:

I have hundreds of cryptobiotes that I never get to eat because the game always wastes my blood bags by equipping one any time I so much as scrape a knee.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?

I'm asking this because the brother of a friend said he was restarting his game because he had messed up with the artefacts.

texts: Molecular level Fallout 4 bug - only showing one piece

texts:
I've played this game with 4 different characters that go up to level 85+ and i just ran into a unique problem.

When im in workshop mode in Sanctuary trying to build the molecular beam i only have one piece of the machine available to build.  STABLIZED REFLECTOR PLATFORM. The other pieces simply aren't there in the special section. I have the artillery piece, robot workbench, and then the stablized reflector platform. That's all.

So weird and so frustrating.

I disabled all the mods and went back to the Glowing Sea mission and worked my way back to molecular level and the problem persists.

texts: If a non-friend comes across my Steam Wishlist, how easily can they gift me one of the games?

texts: Hypothetical scenario that made me ask this question: Suppose I somehow get a viral tweet on Twitter. Some people who get a tweet like that use a reply to promote their own content like Twitch, Youtube, Soundcloud, a game they're working on, a charity they support. I don't have any of those things. However, I do have a Steam wish list with around 30-40 games. If I were to link my wish list, how easy would it be for someone to gift me a game from that list as an impulse buy? Could they just do it like that? Would I first need to accept their friend request before they can buy it? Do we need to be friends for a short period first? Is there another rule that we both need to fulfill?


texts: How can I get easier enemies in casual mode?

texts:
The daily quests often force me to play some classes that I have not much experience with and no good decks for. This makes it rather frustrating to play them when the matchmaking puts me against opponents that would be fair for my best class and deck.

One idea would be to repeatedly concede every casual game directly at the beginning to lower my win rate and get ranked lower in the matchmaking. But that seems like a rather obvious tactic and I would guess that Blizzard might have done something to prevent players from exploiting this.

Does repeatedly conceding to lower your own rank in casual play work? Are there any other ways to get yourself to rank yourself lower to make it easier to fulfill daily quests?

texts: Bayonetta: change graphics settings error

texts:
I just bought Bayonetta for PC and whenever I attempt to change the graphics settings the game freezes and I get an error window stating:

  Failed to write save data

When I click ok on the error window, it disappears and the game unfreezes. Apparently the graphics settings were changed but if I restart the game these settings go back to default.

This just seems to happen to these specific settings. I changed the sound settings previously and I had no problem whatsoever.

Has anyone encountered this problem and know how to solve it?

texts: In Diablo II, there was a cap of 75 set on all resistances (though certain items could increase that cap). Is there a similar cap in Diablo III, or am I free to increase my resistances willy-nilly?


texts:
Based on the "Death and Recovery" tutorial, the death system seems to be similar to Dark Souls in that your body is left where you died and you will need to recover it in order to get what you lost and if you die before doing so, what was lost on that body is irrecoverable.
However, there is a secondary note about having a time limit on recovering your body before it simply disappears.

When your character dies, its body remains on the map as a corpse. These bodies contain various data, so you'll have to go back to your body to retrieve your belongings.
If you die again before reaching your previous body, it will disappear. If you keep playing for an extended period of time without retrieving your body, it will disappear.

What is the time limit?


texts: Selecting previous target in a second command block

texts:
I'm trying to make a system that prevents players from using certain items.

In one command block, I have the following command clear @a diamond_sword executing constantly through a clock.

Off the side of that command block I have a red stone comparator to catch the output and emit a signal if the command is executed successfully (It managed to clear a Diamond Sword from a player's inventory).

That comparator is supposed to trigger another command block who uses /tell to send a message to that player who had his Diamond Sword removed a message like: "You are not allowed to use Diamond Swords."

What command can I use in the second command block to send that message only to the players who have Diamond Swords cleared off their inventory?

/tell @p ... doesn't work, as it merely selects the nearest player.
/tell @r ... will target a random player, and
/tell @a ... will message everyone.

How can I make it target the last target of the previous command block (The one with the /clear command)?


texts:
I am under the impression that the game gives you harder enemies the more you advance.

At the beginning, I would get mostly red bokoblins, with 1 blue bokoblin per camp, but now, it's mostly blue/black bokoblins, with 1 silver bokoblin per camp. And that is around the 4 main cities, to which you can go at any time of the game, so I guess they should be around the same camp difficulty?

Is it only an impression, or does the game scale up the enemies the farther you progress?


texts: Wii controllers keep losing connection. What can I do?

texts:
I have a Wii and two controllers. In the last few months the controllers lose the connection to the Wii rather often. It's bad enough that we cannot play Mario Kart any more (because one player gets disconnected every few seconds). If I play Super Mario All Stars on my own, it disconnects less often, but when it does, it's always in a jump (which then ends, catastrophically for poor Mario).

I tried replacing the battery sets, thinking that maybe the rechargeable battery sets had issues. But that didn't work.

Nothing in the setup or the room has changed. Connectivity was perfect before this started with rarely a disconnection happening.

I checked for bluetooth devices in the vicinity but bluetooth is switched off in all computers around.

Any ideas?

signing out and logging back in again.

texts: What music discs are available in Single Player Survival?

texts:
This wiki article states two different answers in two different locations and coupled with my in game results has me completely confused.

Specifically it says in one place:

  After the 15 December 2011 snapshot (11w50a), all discs except "11" could be dropped by Creepers.

And in another place it says:

  Currently, the other nine music discs can not yet be obtained without Creative mode, SMP Server commands or external tools.

I, myself, in single player survival can only seem to get two discs; CAT and 13.
Are these the only discs avalable in SPS, or is my luck just horrible? (out of 14 successfull Skeleton vs Creeper attempts, I've still only gotten those two discs.

Can somebody explain to me how exactly to perform the blade counter that also attacks/disarms?

I can avoid being hit by pressing counter (triangle on PS3) and pointing the analog stick away from the enemy when the attack symbol appears and holding it during all 3/4 slashes.

But there is the advanced counter that I only manage to do by sheer luck sometimes. It works somehow by releasing and pressing counter at very specific times (and maybe multiple times). This then hits or disarms the enemy in addition to just dodging the attack.

Could someone please explain this technique in detail with the exact timings and key presses? If known, it would also be interesting if this also works with Shiva's female ninjas.

texts: Is it possible to capture a webspinning forgotten beast / titan?

texts:
I would dearly like to cage trap a web-spinning forgotten beast (or other procedural creature, like a titan) so as to make a forgotten beast silk factory.  (Yeah, I know giant cave spider silk is worth more.  I don't care; having things made out of FB silk is awesome.)  Unfortunately:

All procedural creatures have basic trap immunity.
The usual workaround for that, webbing on the cage trap, doesn't work because webspinners are immune to webs.
Procedural creatures also cannot be stunned, so luring them into cage-trap-paved areas and attacking them doesn't (as far as I can tell) seem to result in them ever losing consciousness and getting trapped.

So, does anybody know of any methods that might work?  Maybe circumstances where an FB might be rendered unconscious other than by the usual stunning?  Or a strategy I'm overlooking?  Or are they just uncapturable?

texts:
I don't currently have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, only the Wii U version. I'm trying to assess whether the deluxe version has some functionality I've been really wanting.

On the Wii U, my friends and I would all run time trials on the same machine, under different profiles. However accessing each other's ghosts was very problematic. We'd all friend/follow each other, change our private/public settings, post to miiverse and wait, ext, ext and it just wouldn't work consistently.

We tried everything, but in the end we only had access to a fraction of each other's ghosts, sporadically. This was a very simple task on the Wii, you could just access all the local ghosts.

Is sharing local ghosts something that can be done more easily on the switch, or is it using the same system as the Wii U?

Bonus question: when downloading "Online Ghosts", do you have different options besides the top 10 of all time and a few other people within milliseconds of you?

Update: I've purchased the game and my experience is in an answer below.

Monks and Barbarians seem to have an easier time, or at least don't die as often.

I am wondering if there is a concrete answer as to which is the very best and easiest class to grind with within relative level ranges? Or is it all down to gearing and the way you use your class?

texts:
The assassination move (entered by holding melee) is essentially only a taunt as melee from the back kills instantaneously and the assassination takes around ten seconds to complete, not even guaranteeing a kill since the "knife" doesn't hit immediately.

Additionally, a misbehaving controller can cause you to unintentionally enter the stance and lose otherwise guaranteed kills.

Halo 5 clearly has this setting, but I don't know about Reach in the Master Chief Collection.

If I manually skip through the scenes, it brings me to the alley starting point, but everything runs in some kind of fast-forward: the clock works double time, CJ's jog looks like running 2.0, cars are zooming by and crashing in each other and exploding, riding the bike is nearly impossible (it seems like my mouse movements are also influencing the bike's direction?), etc. I tried making it to the house to see if it would do the same cutscene behaviour as the opening scenes. It does.

If I don't manually skip the opening scenes, I am transported near the train tracks where CJ starts walking on his own, and the game doesn't respond to my commands.

I run it on Windows XP, AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 4200+, 2.2 GHz, 2GB RAM, and GeForce 8600 GT.

Anyone know what the issue is?


texts: Citadel and Fort - For Ranged or Melee Unit?

texts:
I don't know which unit should I put in there? It's nice to bombard enemy by Ranged, but they are too easily to be destroyed, even with +50 or 100% strength. Melee unit, however, can't attack enemies near the citadel or fort.

Please give me some advice.


texts: Can Xbox One pause live TV without a DVR box?

texts:
I plan on connecting a TV tuner using HDMI to the Xbox One so I can watch over-the-air broadcasts with OneGuide.  Will this allow pausing and rewinding of live TV?  I think it's possible because the Xbox has a hard drive, but I can't find any clear documentation of this.

To clarify: I'm talking about a simple tuner, not a DVR.  Example: Mediasonic HomeWorX HW150PVR

texts:
I've been trying to clear out the Saints Book, and I was working on Angel's "No-Weapon Kill" challenge.

I assumed this was simple, and I'd go up to cops/gangs and punch the crap out of them for a bit and get it.  But, as this album attests to, I beat up the cops for a while.  When I checked my progress on the challenge, though, I was still at 14/25 kills.

Clearly, at some point through playing the game, I've gotten 14 kills the game considers "no-weapon" kills, but I have no idea what I would have done to get them to count.  I would have thought at least the wrestling moves would count, since that's what Angel would have wanted, but I made absolutely no progress towards the challenge.

What the heck does the game mean by a "no-weapon kill?"

texts: What are the consequences of accepting unknown substances from strange men?

texts:
In Chapter 1 of The Witcher 2, I encountered two people dressed in merchant clothing who asked me to test a potion for them, with promises of great rewards to come in a year or two at Vizima. They were whispering cautiously between themselves and one of them shouted that the gods have no love for my kind as I approached. In spite of this, I decided to be a trusting person and took the substance. According to my inventory, it's a Critical Effects mutagen.

Sketchy.

While I know how to use mutagens, I'm cautious to apply this one without understanding the consequences. Is this just a convenient scenario used by the game as an introduction to mutagens or will it have consequences on my character during later events?

texts: What high-level enemies respawn in Borderlands?

texts:
Much like this question's author, I'm interested in gaining good XP at a high level. But rather than doing challenges (which often get done in the course of normal playing, especially the 'kill X of Y' type) I'd prefer to do it specifically by fighting enemies.

George Stocker mentioned in his answer that Motorhead respawns every 15 minutes, but surely he can't be the only unique enemy/boss who respawns. Skyscraper giving 23k XP would be great but as far as I know he's a one-off. It seems that an exhaustive list of respawning enemies would be quite useful.

Is there a list of farmable enemies, and where to find them?

In the same Bey Garage, I also edited my Bey and gave it the second face type (a Leone). But those customisations don't come in Story Mode.

id,message = rednet.receive(100) -- receive message, or wait 100 seconds
if message == "dial" then
rednet.send(3,"Dialling DHD...") -- 3 is the ID of the wireless pocket computer
bus = peripheral.wrap("bottom") -- the peripheral chosen is the bottom face
bus.sendPacket("FFFF", "action: dial", "address: Dehsetcro Erpurrum Etrush") -- error line
end -- ends the 'if' function, 'else' not necessary
rednet.close("front") -- disconnects from the wireless modem

the issue is "rednet:6: attempt to index ? (a nil value)", but i believe i've typed it correctly. as i understand it, the issue is with the format. any advice?
Edit: the programming language is Lua

I went to the http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/faq.html#NoGameDir(note1) but that isn't a website, I tried to run vconfig but I couldn't find a file named that, and to be sure I had the right path I first ran cd /home/steam/servers/ship/ then ran ./srcds_run -game ./ship +map andrea_doria +max_players 10 and it came back with the same error.

Now I tried to add -debug but after it runs I can't find debug.log anywhere.

This is not the same as this question because he can actually get it running, though it is freezing, it runs.  Mine won't start at all and won't accept any commands.

(note1) - I used the WayBackMachine to try to find information with the valve-erc website but I cannot find a part of the code of the site (at any point of time) that said name="NoGameDir" so there is no information on this site anyway, even if it is still up.


texts: PS3 won't stay connected to 2Wire AT&T DSL modem

texts:
I have a PS3 with working WiFi. I have connected to several other wireless networks in the past. I now am trying to connect to my 2Wire modem which shows 40% connectivity. Once I connect (if it even allows me), it almost always drops the connection within a minute or two.

I have a laptop I connect to from the same spot as my PS3 wirelessly and it not only stays connected but Speedtest.net gives it 5MB/s down and ~.70MB/s up.

I have also tried 'bridging' the connection from my laptop to my PS3 through an Ethernet cable but that does not work at all.

Has anybody else ever had this issue?

texts:
I've bought quite a few Steam-redeemable bundles lately, so I've been installing a heap of games on Steam. I suddenly noticed that on my Steam library "The Binding of Isaac" was marked as uninstalled, which I knew for a fact to be wrong.

After taking care to preserve my save files, I went ahead and told Steam to install the game, which apparently jogged its memory (but only after "preparing" the game's files for installation).

So while there appears to be no harm done, I've never had this happen before, and so I wonder if this is some sort of ominous sign.

I'm now playing The Witcher (first game) Enhanced Edition and noticed that the sexual content is definitely a piece of the game. However, what is the relevance of the sexual content in The Witcher Enhanced Edition with regards to gameplay? Does it give special abilities, items, money or change the story of the game in some way?


texts: Will Rift Beta Characters persist after launch?

I know that different MMOs with different Betas have done different things regarding beta characters.

For Rift in particular, the beta characters have persisted across the 6 betas -- will these characters persist after launch? Only for a privileged subset of players? (such as pre-orders / collector's editions, etc.)

Personally, I'm not optimistic, however I haven't yet found any official word from Tirion, so I thought I'd toss this out here.

Is my understanding correct?

texts: Balloon Popping mini-game on Pokemon Global Link

texts:
For a while now, the PokeMileage Club on Global Link has been offering the minigame "Balloon Popping" where you can spend 100 PokeMiles to select one of 3 levels, click 10 Balloons, receive a score and end up with an Item (a list of the possible items is viewable before you select the level). The difference between the levels seems to be just the obtainable items and the look.

From my roughly 200 games so far, I couldn't get any clue as to how the score is being determined and which item you receive. The Balloons have different sizes and speeds, also they depict different Pokemon (5 different ones in each level). I've tried matching speeds, matching sizes, matching Pokemon, even hitting the same time between balloon destructions and nothing seemed to have any noticeable effect on my final score. I kept getting entirely random scores.

The same goes for the items, I always seem to receive totally random items with no connection to either the aforementioned properties of the balloons i destroy or the score I end up with.

Is there a system to this? Has anyone collected more data or discovered some kind of principle or rule behind the score or item you receive? I'd really like to have the chance (or at least feel as if I did) to influence the end result and aim for a specific item instead of just clicking and hoping to get the right one.

What can the one pulling or the jungler do to prevent that situation?
Does it happen because the Jungler attacks too late or is it the pulling person running away too fast/slow?

texts:
Looking through a list of roguelikes to sink my teeth into I've narrowed down my choices to Nethack and Crawl. The problem is that I'm not experienced with roguelikes so I don't know what to expect in terms of difficulty, and I want to choose the one that is easier to get into and beat.

So how steep are Nethack and Crawl's learning curves? Is one game more feasible to beat than the other, starting as a beginner? I'm more concerned about learning game mechanics than the UI.

What I've heard so far about differences between the two:

Crawl is less in-depth so the different ways to die are less surprising. Yet Another Stupid Death originated from Nethack, so I fear for my wellbeing.
A death in Nethack is usually because of stupidity and not bad luck.
Crawl's random number generator can turn a sheep into a killing machine, meaning I may need both luck and experience.

If any of the two points above are incorrect please say so.


texts: Is it possible for Minecraft users on Mac (Java) to play with iOS (Bedrock) users?

texts:
My family is an Apple household (Macs and iOS devices), and we are getting into Minecraft. I've been trying in vain to find a definitive answer as to whether there are any options for letting family members use these separate devices to play on common servers or worlds.

It seems doubtful at this point, but I cannot find a trusted source that says, Yep, it's not possible in any way, so you can stop trying to find a solution.

The Minecraft website has a feature comparison, and both Mac and iOS are listed as sharing common features, namely "Realms," "player-hosted multiplayer servers," and "LAN or WiFi Multiplayer." The Minecraft page on the App Store for iPhone and iPad also advertises “Play with friends on mobile (and) PC...!” (See screenshots.)

I briefly thought that the "Realms" feature was our ticket, since the option was displayed prominently on the interfaces of both Mac and iOS. But when I had trouble getting them to work, I learned (on Arqade and elsewhere) that this common feature is actually restricted. Namely, users can only play with each other if they're running the same Minecraft edition, e.g. Java (on our Macs) or Bedrock/Pocket (on our iPad/iPhone).

I tried looking for Minecraft multiplayer server communities that host both platforms, but I've come up short.

I tried researching what it would take to host a home-based server, but I wasn't able to determine if it would be worth the effort.

We were able to get our iPad and iPhone to run multiplayer on  our LAN/WiFi, but my Mac was unable to see this activity.

Are there ways to make these different Apple devices play nice with each other, or are we SOL?

texts: Is there a way to resolve this bug and make my house appear?

texts:
I have Hearthfire and bought the plot in Morthal. After arriving and building the initial "small house", nothing appeared. There was just a blank empty plot. After porting to other towns and disabling my mods, I got the house to sort-of appear, but not really. Some of the walls are visible, and some of them aren't there at all, and there's no door to enter the house.

I've tried building more of the house in an attempt to force it to update, but all that does is add more walls. I've tried porting  to other towns and restarting the game and it hasn't helped.  It still looks like this with all mods disabled. Some screenshots:

My last save is from a couple of hours before all these troubles began (I only really use quicksave to make frequent saves). If I went back to that save and worked my way back to this point sans mods, is it likely it would work? Or is my save completely messed up?


texts:
I encountered Aria in the bar on the Citadel, and she offered to lend her influence over the criminal/mercenary gangs if I was willing to solve a few problems for each gang or its leader.

I'm playing a full Paragon run though, so I'm trying not to be overtly evil.

Is it wise to trust Aria?  Should I be encouraging and aiding these criminal organizations?

How much are they worth as far as War Assets are concerned if I help them?  Will I run into trouble later on as a result?


texts:
In order to get a constant supply of food and feathers, I decided to set up a simple semi-automated chicken farm, but for some reason, my chickens keep dying. Why is this? Here are the details:

The dispenser is triggered by a rapid pulsar. This way, approximately every 16 seconds a new chicken is spawned, until I run out of eggs. The chickens float on a 1-layer thick water surface to allow collecting eggs:

As you can see the floating area is about 2x10 blocks large.

There used to be many chickens in these containers, dropping an egg every few seconds. Then, they all died (I could collect meat instead of eggs). Luckily, I had a batch of eggs, so I refilled the dispenser and got around 20 chickens out of it. Leaving the farm for a while and coming back left me with just 2 chickens.

How can I avoid these mass extinctions?

texts: How to Get Mods on a Hardmod (Modchip) Original Xbox?

texts:
I've gotten back into my Original Xbox a couple of days ago, and I've been wanting to mod one of my favorite games, SWKotOR 2 TSL (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords), but haven't been able to. I've been searching the web all day and couldn't find anything that would work without buying something. I only have the console and controller, no other accessories besides a mother load of empty discs.

My main question is if there is any way to get the save files off the console with a disc?
my Original Xbox has a ModChip making it hardmodded (not softmodded) and I want to know if there is any easy way to mod it. I also have a Xbox 360 that is just plain but if there's any free thing I could do to it I'm open for suggestions.

but again the main game I want to mod is TSL and the mod I want is KSE (TSL/Kotor Save Editor) but I can't get any saves off my console and I've tried downloading saves just to find out that I needed to buy something and I could even use KSE on it. please is there some way that I could get the saves off the console and onto my conputer?

texts: Should I err on the side of too many minerals, or too much gas?

texts:
I'm a beginner StarCraft 2 player, and I've watched a few VODs and played a few games.  I always seem to have either excess minerals or gas, and I've noticed experienced players seem to do the same.  So I was wondering, is there a generic difference between minerals and gas; for example, is gas used more for research and minerals more for units?

And if I'm going to err, (because I will, and it looks like even experienced players do), is it better to have too many minerals or too much gas?

texts: What's different in the 3 versions of Kingdom Hearts?

texts:
I recently started playing Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD. I have played the original PS2 and I know the PS3 version of it is actually Final Mix which until recently wasn't released outside Japan. However, I am aware there may be even more changes onto this as Final Fantasy X-2 had new Dressspheres and the Creature Catcher thing.

Just from my observations I've noticed the appearance of some enemies is now different (ie. Guard Armor and Trickster are far more colour) and that there's now Gummi Ship missions and new blocks. However, I don't know if these were done in Final Mix or just 1.5 HD as this answer just mentions added difficulty and scenes.

So, I am wondering, what is the difference between Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix? Also, on top of that, what has been changed in Final Mix for 1.5 HD?


texts: Regenerate ores in active minecraft map?

texts:
We have a server that is running the Direwolf20 modpack from Feed the Beast. When the server was started we decided to remove GregTech from the modpack. Well now we want to add GregTech back. The problem is because the map is active we don't want to redo everything to get all of the new ores from the mod.

Is there a way to regenerate the map without nuking the world we created?

I have seen people talk about things like MCedit and World Edit but I not am looking to make changes to the world (buildings, entities, towns, etc.) per se, just populate new ores in existing chunks (and new chunks of course).

texts: How to micro/counter siege tanks properly in TvT

texts:
I'm wondering how to micro siege tanks in different modes. For example,

1. When you are harassing another Terran with siege tanks:

The best option is to avoid that and make a drop to undefended part, but if he brought own tanks under your expand and you need to protect expand?

In this case it would be good to bring you tanks till the 12-13 range of opponents tanks (they won't be able to shoot your while sight is not provided for them) and get sight from the own site... But this is often hard to do...

Another option would be good to have some banshees/BCs (if opponent doesn't have too much vikings). But if opponent has? use Ravens+SeekingMissiles?

Or push with stimmed marauders?
Thors?

What suites best for this case?

2. Does it makes sense to play with tanks range?

For example, opponent has 6-8 tanks in groups that are in few rows (1st row - 3 tanks, a little bit behind - 3 more tanks...) Is it reasonable to try to put your tanks in range but out of sight of opponent tanks?

This seems reasonable if you have air superiority, but requires a lot of micro... and actually is a little bit risky (he can scan you and kill easily while you tanks are not in siege mode yet).

If this seems reasonable, what is amount of tanks you need to bring to be successful with that?

3. Can you make another example and solution for that?

offense, defense, combat, drop, etc...

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks a lot

P.S. I'm interested in advises for Platinum/Diamond player level.

texts: Is replaying the final mission enough to finish the campaign, if half of my campaign was done offline?

texts:
Starcraft 2, Heart of the Swarm.

So about halfway through the campaign, I begun having a terrible internet connection. So I finished most missions offline. Including the final mission.

Naturally, I didn't get the "Campaign Completed" achievement.

Now that my internet is fine again, I found a save file of the final mission, which was almost finished. So I loaded it and finished while properly connected to battle.net.

I was expecting to get the achievement, but I didn't. Actually, I didn't get any of the three possible achievements (and I should have).

I suppose that it is because the save file is of offline origin. So I plan to load the save file, go to the leviathan, and play the final mission on casual difficulty to just get the thing finished and get my damn achievement for once and for all. Will this work? Considering that there are other campaign missions that were also completed during offline gameplay?

texts:
Does there exist any known way to create a "power ripple" using redstone; i.e. a situation that is, essentially, just like a sequence of wire-repeater segments, but powering every intermediate block, rather than, as is the theoretical maximum for wire-repeater, every second block?

Edit:

To explain more fully: When a stretch of redstone is activated it is enabled all at once, with no delay between the first and the last piece of wire; repeater-laden wire, on the other hand, has a delay. Unfortunately, repeater-laden wire has "blind spots" when it comes to providing power.

Is there any way to create wiring that has a ripple effect, but that gives power to every block along the way?

Reedit:

I keep forgetting this; but people can't read my mind over the internet. :P The reason for this question turning up in the first place is that I need it for moderately temporary situations.

Rereedit:

texts: Why are my vassals revolting when I give them just one title?

texts:
I'm at holy war with some Muslim region, so I have focus all of my units there. Now there are a hell of a lot of revolts going on, one after another. I think it's because I control about 98% of the land titles. I have appointed some Barons, but that's all. If give a county title or a Duchy title to a another vassal, then after a few months, they declare war on me. The only title I can give with out taking a risk is baron title (or can they declare war on me?).

Before I grant a land title, the character's opinion of me is 100, but after I grant them any kind of title, opinion becomes -100. I don't know why that is, that's another reason why I don't grant land titles. My crown authority is high but it was like that since the beginning. And because of this I think there are thieves guilds and stuff. What can I do about this problem? I'm playing as the Kingdom of England. For wars, I'm using mercenaries.

texts: Do you have to pay off each loan all at once (not including the down payment)?

texts:
I just got my full house so I owe 38,900 bells. (I know you have to pay the original down payment at once.) I keep trying to pay off a little bit and it isn't reacting. I accidentally paid off 900 bells and I just lost them. The owed amount stayed the same.

I saved and quit and went back in immediately. Same thing.

I also saved and quit the game completely and restarted and still the same thing.

It might just be a visual issue. My loan is getting paid off but I just can't see any progress but I don't want to risk my measly 12,000 bells to test it and I also don't have enough to try paying it off all at once at the moment to see if it will work at all.

Does anybody know how to fix this if it is a bug or if I am just supposed to pay off every loan in full every time and they just don't tell you?

Update:

It turns out the original loan amount is 39,800 bells. So my 900 bells did go through. What I was expecting was the "Pay Loan" screen to function like the deposit and withdraw screen.

The Deposit menu updates your Held Bells value to reflect the amount of bells you will have left if you make the deposit and your Account bells to the amount that will be in your bank if you make that deposit. The Withdraw screen does the same in the opposite direction of course.

The repay loan menu does not do this (at least for me, which may be a bug in itself but a much less worrying one). As you can see in the linked pictures. When I put in 400 bells My held bells and bells owed stay the same as when I put in 4000 bells.

So coupled with that and me not noticing the switch between the 8 and 9 I thought I couldn't pay off my loan.


texts:
I have a minecraft server hired from Multiplay and when I play on it, I always get issues where the terrain loads very very slowly. As I start to run from the area I start in, it can take me being 10-15 blocks away until new terrain is redrawn.

Might be a separate issue, but I often see dungeons and underground locations before the ground is properly rendered.

What can I do to fix this?

Rendering distance on the client is set to max, computer is very good. I played Crysis 3 on max settings, so it should handle MC I think :)

So naturally I'm assuming this is an server issue, but there is nothing to indicate an issue. CPU load has had a max at 33%, Memory usage at max 340 Mb (of 1 GB), most of the times no players.
No mods activated at all. Server has bukkit, but I'm currently not using it. Had this issue before aswell.

Are there some settings I can set, either on client or server.

texts: How could some classic Sonic zones be both wrap-around and partially underwater?

texts:
In Sonic The Hedgehog, some levels wrapped around from top to bottom. Some levels also have water in them. What confuses me is that a few levels have both. The bottom wraps around to the top, so the notions of up and down become relative, yet part of the map is underwater.

For a good example of such a zone, consider Labyrinth Zone 3 from Sonic 1, which features both an infinite water slide at the beginning and an upward-climbing rising-water chase-scene doom gauntlet boss fight at the end, in which the water rises up about 1.5 times the actual height of the map.

Can anyone explain how they made this work? Is there a "bottom" to the underwater area somewhere, cleverly manipulated so that it is never visible on screen? Or is there something more interesting going on?


texts: Is there any point where wolves are useful?

texts:
In Gladius for XBox, we're playing through Nordagh.  It seems like our opponent wolves are fairly tough, so we got a wolf of our own.  To put it bluntly, he's awful.  Lacking most equipment slots, we outfitted him with a collar of force (the stupid thing came with a collar of rage) to up his power.

Frankly, we are unimpressed.  There's really nothing he can do that a berserker couldn't do better, and most of the battles we've found that require non-humans would accept a berserker just as readily as a wolf.

Is there any point in the game where wolves are actually useful?

I created a lot of submarines as Germany to try to bring british industry to a halt by cutting off the supply. How to organize submarine fleets for best interception percentage? What are the tradeoffs?

Group size?
For subby hit-and-run smaller fleets (1-3) sounds better but one can hardly afford a leader to all of them, let alone one with a spotter or sub-master skill. Also, I imagine too large a fleet would not be optimal either.

Distribution?
When to use any such "properly sized" fleets in 1 specific region vs have larger overlapping areas for each sub fleet?

Unfortunately the game seems to lack any strategic "spreadsheet" or diagrams to measure trade interdiction progress.

2 damage per second for 20 seconds
The timer resets back to 10 seconds on the last hit
The second poison is ignored

This also leads to the question that if I use the Concentrated Poison perk in the Alchemy skill tree, are the effects the same as if I used two of the same poison in a row?

When buildings are too close together enemy troops can't be deployed between them. How do you tell when they're close enough? I built a wall around my main base (including town centre) but attackers can still deploy troops within the wall.

For ascetic reasons I like having my village spaced out, it's too bad that the game play promotes against it.

Here is a screen shot while in edit mode. I have the town hall selected and moved it around a little, but still there are no lines to indicate where attacking troops can't be deployed. I notice there are some white lines outside the walls, but those are different, for example with this current setup I've had enemy troops deployed within the walls.


texts: Can Nocturne use his Ultimate to scape Nautilus's ult

texts:
I saw this question about Nautilus's ultimate, and the answer shows that it can be beat by Master Yi (in the example).

I was wondering as Nocturne, it's worth spend my ultimate to run from Nautilus Ult? or it's not worth (the distance still got me)?

In this video:

it shows that you can use flash to interrupt the ultimate in the middle air. So I could jump near to an enemy and flash to avoid contact with him, so I could scape from Nautilus ultimate and don't need to engage in another fight.
