texts: Does "no scoping" do less damage then scoping

texts:
Specifically in Sniper Rifles, I have noticed that when I "no scope" a target (normally at close range) it appears that the damage I do is significantly less then when I'm scoping a target. This has put me in the habit of actually scoping in no matter the distance.

When I "no scope", I normally aim for the chest, being the easiest spot to hit. I decided I would actually make an effort to see if my suspicions were correct. So far it would seem that it definitely does less damage compared to scoping a target for a chest shot as they die easily in one shot, "no scoping" a chest shot usually takes 2 shots with a Black Widow on Bronze difficulty against weaker troops.

I did see the question that explained the benefits of headshots versus everything else. Which even "no scoping" a headshot will cause a death to the smaller enemies but definitely not to stronger troops that I easily one shot while scoping.

I'm hoping someone else has noticed this besides me or knows if there is something else afoot?


texts:
I came across these near the end of the Grissom Academy mission. What exactly are they for? In the screenshot, you can see that they are destructible and you can shoot them. However, after you destroy them, you can "Reactivate" them and the attached Shield Pylon pops on again.

The battle here is a bit too hectic for me to stop and experiment with them (lots of Cerberus and an Atlas mech), so I've just been destroying them outright. I thought that destroying them may act like a pseudo-Overload, but the Turret next to one I just destroyed didn't seem to take any Shield damage.

Do they shield NPCs in an area around them? What exactly should I do with these? Is there any point to reactivating them?

My brother and I are on PC Minecraft, and I'm trying to connect to him when he opens LAN to go to his world. We're finding that whenever I connect to him, I'm getting the error io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection time out: no further information:

But that's only when I try to connect to him. Using the same method, he has no problems connecting to my worlds when I open LAN.

I've looked at all the troubleshooting problems, turned off all my Firewalls, but I can't connect to him still. Anyone have an ideas?

texts: Cities XL 2012 offices/industry deadlock

texts:
I'm playing Cities XL 2012 since a while.

I noticed that too oftenly I end up having large areas for offices that don't develop. Clicking on those shows that "it's hard to obtain Tech industry". Alright, I say, let's develop the tech. But then I find undeveloped tech areas that require office services.

Buying from OmniCorp is usury (I'm currently -27 office coins).
Checking the population, I see I have enough executives and qualified workers for the office, so I don't see why they don't develop. Buying a few tech from OmniCorp doesn't solve. Also, I don't think I have hotel problems because otherwise I would read it.

What is the best way to develop offices in a city? I would also like to export those offices to other towns if possible (I have a very high people capacity).

texts: How can I see my character again after Breylna's spell practice?

texts:
I did a miscellaneous quest and let Breylna Maryon, an apprentice mage, practice a spell on me at the Winterhold College. At the end of the quest my character was rendered invisible to me and only to me. I can still attack, be attacked, and be detected etc like normal but I can't even see the weapons I wield.

In my Active Effects it said something from her was supposed to wear off in 30 minutes so I figured it was no big deal and continued on questing. Well, I'm WAY far from there now (quite a few hours in hopes it would just eventually stop being dumb) and I still cannot see anything. I figure that it must be a glitch as sometimes when I reload my saved game my character will appear for just a moment. Perspective changing does nothing. Breylna provides no option for a fix. Nothing is working. Any suggestions?

Is this a bug? Or is it something I can fix?

texts: How Can I Play Games Which Are Really Old Java Applets?

texts:
I wanted to take a trip down memory lane and play a browser game from when I was in school. It turns out that game  a Java applet. I changed my security settings so that I could play it and now it attempts to load, but it crashes instantly. I'm guessing this is because it runs on an old version of Java which is incompatible with the version on my machine.

I would like a general answer about techniques to play old Java Applets in general. But I am specifically trying to play Heavy Cannon which appears to be from 2003. I have the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Java 8, Update 20 (1.8.0_20) installed. The error I get is ClassFormatError: Name index 0 in LocalVariableTable has a bad constant type in class file hc. I get this error in both Chrome and Firefox.

It looks like if I want to go back in time and recreate a 2003 browsing experience I need to run Java 4 with Phoenix 0.5 (an old version of Firefox) on Debian 3.0. I tried to create a virtual machine in Virtual Box set up like this, but I couldn't get through the OS install. That could be user error or it might be complex/impossible to set up old OS's on Virtual Box.

I have also tried running the oldest versions of Firefox Portable (version 2.0, which has Firefox 5) and JPortable (which has Java 6, Update 23). All applets would not load because a plugin (ie, Java) performed an Illegal Operation).

I am trying to avoid installing an old version of Java directly on my machine if at all possible. It does not seem trivial to switch my browser between the old and new versions and I don't know what kind of compatibility problems it will create. But if anyone has success with this method I am all ears.


texts: Who are the bosses shown in the Trophy Room?

texts:
According to this answer, the Trophy Room in the Tower Library is an Easter egg from the original Nier game and, like it, has statues of bosses you have defeated.

  This trophy room is another feature of the original NIER, in which trophies representing all of the defeated bosses were displayed. This room is identical, except the bosses displayed are from NieR: Automata, rather than the original NIER.

I recognize some of them, but to my knowledge the only Humanoid Bosses I fought up to this stage have been 3 who are

   Adam, Eve and 21O/21B.

There were a bunch of B Class Androids, but they were a side quest and I wouldn't call bosses, yet there appears to be 5 in the middle row (which I assume Adam and Eve are the ones on the far right)

So, who are the bosses shown in the Trophy Room?

Also, is there a relation to their colour being Gold or Silver? The Baby Forest King is on the bottom and is Silver, but it was never fought and the figure at the top right looks to be the boss that 2B fought in the Abandoned Factory during her escape, but in 9S's route, it was never fought.


texts: Can you upgrade all the sub-class abilities?

texts:
When levelling a sub-class is it possible to upgrade all the abilities in a whole sub-class or are the number of upgrades limited meaning that you have to pick certain ones?

I read on the Destiny Wiki that sub-classes are levelled independently so I assume that you can switch them out as you like after lv15. Does this mean that essentially there are 40 levels worth of class upgrades to unlock?

Plus if the second sub-class becomes available at lv15 and the 'soft cap' is lv20, how do you upgrade all the abilities in the sub-class with only 5 levels of experience?

texts: Can the Realm Reborn launcher pause/resume the game download?

texts:
I just purchased Realm Reborn.

It seems like the launcher is trying to download around 9GB.

When it had around 50MB, I decided to cancel it and then restart it just to make sure that it was able to resume - because my internet connection is not quite stable.

It seems to me like the download begun at 0MB, rather than 50MB as expected.

Does this mean that the downloader can't pause/resume? I'm afraid that my connection will probably have a little downtime at least once during those 9GB.

Reading around  the web, I think I saw something about that the game is divided in 5 parts, and when it is done with one it will not have to download it again.

texts: Is there a way to detect if a map is being played in multiplayer? (1.15)

texts:
I'm attempting to make a fully customized map that I want to only be single player. I'm going to be using custom sounds with my voice, and wanted to determine whether or not a group of people are playing multiplayer so I can present them with a custom clip of me saying "this map will only work in Single Player" or something similar.

I've thought about making a simple command block that triggers after x amount of time using chain command blocks, with the following command;

execute unless @a[limit=1] run playsound ..

The problem with this, however, is I'm not entirely certain that the limit selector will work this way. In theory, of course, it should, but being unable to test multiplayer myself makes this a little difficult.

Another, more sure-fire, way would be to do three scoreboards and match them all up together to create a tally system, but not only would that be countless hours of tedious brain-knocking before eventually making a flawless system, but it wouldn't be necessarily flawless and could mess up at any given moment.

Would there be any way to find how many players there are in a world--and if so, to run a command if there are x people?

Looking carefully, it almost looks like the monster hitbox is defined by the square of floor that it's occupying rather than the monster's model itself.  Is this correct?

Can anybody tell me how the hitboxes are defined for mobs in Torchlight?  Bonus points if I could get a similar description for Torchlight 2.

texts: Is there a point to forming bigger squares?

texts:
In Dots for iOS, is there a reason to form larger squares, or closed shapes, other than just a the smallest possible (4 dots) square? When you create a simple square of a color, it removes all dots of the same color from the game board, the same as if you strung together many dots and finished by closing a shape off.

Are there point bonuses based on the number of dots in a shape, or some other benefit? Or, is there no point to creating larger shapes other than taking more time to create them?


texts: How to get SAS working in Kerbal Space Program

texts:
I've built a small rocket in KSP. It doesn't do much, but it does make it into orbit just fine. It has a parachute, capsule, decoupler, SAS module, 3x liquid fuel tanks, a liquid fuel engine, and 4 solid rocket boosters on radial decouplers.

When I launch, I turn SAS on, and the ship still drifts horrifically on its own. I can attempt to pilot it but it mostly ignores my input to correct the drift until I turn SAS off, but then... what's the point of SAS if it won't keep my ship pointed in a stable direction?


texts: What happens if I tell my target I'm part of the Dark Brotherhood?

texts:
I want to know if there are any different outcomes based on how you handle an assassination for the Dark Brotherhood. I usually kill outright without any prior contact but during my last assignment, I engaged the target in conversation. There were two possible options: "So and so sent me and they are angry" and "I'm part of the Dark Brotherhood, I'm going to kill you."

So what happens if I talk to them first? If I tell them I'm part of the Dark Brotherhood, do they try to bribe me? If I reveal that an angry person sent me, do I receive the option of helping them work it out as opposed to murder? I'm just curious about all the outcomes.

texts: Can I convert a PS3 Skyrim savegame to a PC savegame?

texts:
A few months ago I built a gaming pc and now I thougth I could try skyrim on it. I already played skyrim on my ps3 A LOT and I would love to continue my savegame.

So I am looking for a way to convert my ps3 save game to a pc savegame.

I searched for about half an hour for an answer  and found multiple videos describing how to do it BUT all of them were using "Skyrim ps3 toolkit" a program that decrypts the savegame I guess. It is just impossible to find that program now, everythin I can find are dead links or site with "this download was taken down".

Is there a other way to do this? or does someone now where I can still find that program?

btw I tried directly putting the PS3 savegame in to the savegame folder on my pc and it gives me the message "Could not be loaded. Save has version 0 this is version 9" or something like that.

Ask me anything if you need more information. I would be really happy about some help! :D cheers

texts: How can I prepare/build my fortress to handle large populations?

texts:
I just started playing Dwarf Fortress about a week ago. It is definitely my new addiction. I've grasped almost all of the basic concepts (military, Dwarf Therapist, farming, and trading), but the thing which seems to constantly make me want to start over with a new fortress is the mass of migrants that I usually get around year 2 or 3.

Basically, I gain dwarves faster than I can build new rooms, larger meeting areas... well larger everything for that matter, and even if I do, it's a jumbled mess I cant make any sense of. My dilemma isn't being able to find things to do with the dwarves as it is preparing for them. It is completely impractical to carve out massive areas into the mountain early in the game without suffering consequences.

I find it challenging to keep 60+ dwarves happy, clothed, armed, and fed, not to mention the dozens of animals they bring in. I can only imagine what it's like trying to maintain 200 dwarves later in the game. So, my question is how can I prepare/build my fortress to efficiently maintain 100+ dwarves later on?

To help get an idea of what I'm asking, here is a list of things I'm having problems with:

My configuration of buildings tends to become unorganized and eventually completely inefficient in keeping up with the demand of multiple dwarves. I tend to only build one of every workshop/furnace, usually on the same level as everything else. The wiki tutorial suggests three smelters for each furnace, which seems like overkill since I definitely don't plan on having three furnace operators during the early game.
I can't seem to get the farms right. If I build individual plots it takes up too much of my time, but if I build large plots I never have enough seeds to provide for it until much later. During my current game I built one large plot early on (which only allowed me to plant one thing per season) and a second farm plot about a year or so later is taking forever to get going. The wiki mentions starting with a 3x3 plot under- and above-ground, though this definitely led to my dwarves dying a slow death.
Bedrooms are a huge issue I am having, as they are material- and time-consuming. I never seem to be able to produce the furniture fast enough. I usually make a bed, chest, door, and cabinet for each room and assigning a room for each dwarf, as it tends to make them happier.
Pens/Pastures take up a lot of space. Trying to figure out how much is a reasonable amount of space for late game is definitely trial-and-error. My pastures tend to be around 20x20, and I can't make it any bigger as I have walls set up to protect my pasture and surface builds. Unfortunately, I can tell that if I get too many more animals, the grass in the pasture is going to disappear completely. I have started to slaughter a few of the extra bunnies and bulls, which is helping, but I don't like to slaughter animals that provide milk/fur/eggs, so eventually the pastures fill past capacity. The wiki says a 10x10 should be good enough, but I don't see how that's possible.

In short, I am looking for a detailed answer.

texts: Why can't I open Pokémon Go after playing in China?

texts:
I have been playing Pokémon Go since August 2016. I am currently level 18.  During Christmas break, I visited China. I decided to see if Pokémon Go works there. I opened the app and found that I was able to log in. I played for a little while as I was waiting for dinner.

After that, however, I was unable to open my Pokémon Go app even after I came back to the US. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it, but still cannot open the app. When I click on the app, the Niantic logo appears for a few seconds but disappears. I did everything from closing all the apps to deleting and reinstalling the app. Now it is not working. How do I play again?

texts: How do we make our multiplayer spawn area less of a disaster zone?

texts:
My friends and I have a pretty fun multiplayer Minecraft world going, complete with a strip mine with an automated transit system and an enormous cobblestone pyramid.  Everything is totally sweet...

Except the spawn area.  The spawn area seems to have anti-griefing measures or something that prevent us from putting blocks there (or taking blocks out). This is an issue because Creepers have no such restrictions. Dozens of Creepers have gone to town on newly spawned players, blowing holes in the terrain and generally wreaking havoc on the spawn area. It's now covered in sand and water and is pretty much a giant pain to get out of when you respawn.

How can we fix this? Can we turn off the anti-griefing thing? Can we edit the world somehow to fix up the spawn area and make it less like a minefield?

texts: Modern Minecraft Bedrock Edition Modding

texts:
I started playing MCPE back at alpha 0.9.5 and have followed development of the game and modding since. The old school way was Blocklauncher and ModPe javascript, and it worked great. But now, Blocklauncher is no longer in development, and even if it is, it no longer manages to keep up with the fast updates.
What options do I have to retain the modding capabilities of the old days? Toolbox for MCPE doesn't seem to be able to execute ModPe javascript, addons (last I heard) are more limited compared to the old ModPe javascript, and the official scripting API is still in beta and only for Win10, which I don't have (I have Android).
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time.

Edit:
My end goal is to be able to run a multiplayer world on Android. Originally thought of this modding limitation, so looked at Geyser, running a Java server for Bedrock, but it turns out Geyser doesn't support Fabric, which is needed for modding. Thus, I'm now looking for a way to get mods to work like they used to on Android. If anyone has a better idea to achieve my end goal, that would also be welcome.
Thank you for your time.

I can't work out a decent way to be able to get some fertilized and some unfertilized eggs. At the moment all the eggs are being fertilized.

Is there any way to achieve this?

My thoughts are maybe when theres a large imbalance of gender ratio (ie a lot of females to only one (lucky) male) that there won't be enough time (;p) for all the eggs to be fertilized.

Related: Whats the Best Counter for Void Rays

What's a good Protoss AA strategy? Last night I got rolled by mass void rays, even with a sizeable stalker army defending alongside cannons, My Terran ally at the time lamented that if he'd thought to go Thors he could have countered the push, Other than stalkers the only supposedly good Protoss AA counter I know of, is Phoenixes, which I find require either too much micromanagement, or are just not powerful enough: They work great for harassment of Overlords, and for targeting Terran medivacs or ravens (Basically, they are great against units who can't shoot back) but they just get slapped out of the air far too quickly to be useful, by anything that can actually attack air units (Void rays, Mutalisks, Vikings), Void rays are useful en-masse, but as a fairly expensive light unit, they still get wrecked by vikings and mutas most of the time

texts:
In the classic shmup game Micropede (A DOS clone/homage/remake of previously popular Centipede/Millipede arcade cabinets), mushrooms that take 4 hits to kill are present on the game board, blocking the player's shots to make it more difficult to shoot enemies like the micropede sections before they reach the player's area.
Certain enemies can manipulate these mushrooms:

Killing a micropede segment will spawn an additional mushroom.
Bees can spawn mushrooms in a vertical line.
Dragonflies can drop all mushrooms on the board down by one section when they reach the bottom. The newly created row at the top will have random mushrooms on some of its tiles.
The beetle will walk along the bottom of the screen, moving up to the top edge of the playable area in a vertical line at a random point, then continuing horizontally. All mushrooms in its path are poisoned, which means they fully heal and are immune to damage from players.
The spider can eat mushrooms, including poisoned specimens.
The mosquito will, when shot, move all the mushrooms on the screen up by one tile.

It is unknown in which order these effects are applied when multiple happen in the same frame.

It's possible to create a softlock for this game utilizing the mushrooms. There are two possibilities for this:
Method #1
Dragonflies and Mosquitoes can cause the player to become stuck inside mushrooms when near the playable area edge, when the game fails to knock the player into the open properly when squashed by a mushroom.If the player is stuck below a poison mushroom, they can only wait helplessly until a spider comes in to murder them.
If the micropede itself gets stuck on a mushroom, it will jiggle (move vertically in quick 45 degree angle motions left and right) to the bottom of the map and then start jiggling between the bottom and top of the playable area until it finds an open spot to continue its normal AI behaviour of zig-zagging across the screen.
Method #2
It is possible (through normal gameplay) to somehow get a mushroom on the bottom row. It is unknown to me how to do this.
The softlock occurs by getting such a mushroom poisoned by the beetle, and by then cloning it until the screen, from bottom to top, features a row of these mushrooms. It is possible to clone a poison mushroom due to a bug: The mosquito detailed above actually clones the bottom row when killed instead of the new bottom row being empty. Shoot enough mosquitoes and you create an impassable wall. If the micropede is by this point on the other side of the wall, you cannot hit it anymore and cannot advance to a higher stage.
This is not a hardlock: it can be solved by waiting for a long time for a spider to appear and by chance eat the right mushrooms. Or, by waiting for dragonflies to move the wall offscreen by not shooting either the dragonflies or the mosquitoes. (Except that the dragonflies will not show up until you clear the bottom section, creating a catch-22...)
How can the first step in forming a wall of mushrooms occur: a mushroom on the very bottom row? There should be another glitch that causes this, but I've never been able to reliably determine what causes it.


texts: In Dead Island, orange-rarity items spawn in loot drops (e.g., weapon chest) at a high, if not 100% chance (outside of vendors) after a certain amount of time. This information was largely propagated by DeathMule across fora. DeathMule claims that the interval between this guaranteed-orange-weapon-spawn-chance (owsc) is five hours. I feel that this claim draws an arbitrarily high time beyond and rather than the true value. Is it true that it takes exactly five hours or does it take a shorter length of time?

texts: Wanted: a hint (not a walk-through) for the Trainyard level called A Barrel Roll

texts:
I've been playing Trainyard on my iPhone.  I'm having fun.  But I've reached A Barrel Roll and I'm not getting past it.  I can get the cars down to two purple and two green but I don't have enough free space at that point to work out a merging pattern to get them down to one of each.  I started over and tried to work out a system of pre-merging the blues, reds and yellows but then I didn't have enough space to do a final merge.  And I don't really know what to try next.

There are places I can watch a walk-through and places that will just show me a winning screen.  And I could move on.  but if anyone here plays that game and can give me just a nudge in the right direction, I'd rather go that route.

texts: Is it possible to turn down Ashley without being rude?

texts:
I just did my first play through of the first Mass Effect. I tried to play through as I think I really would in real life, so I was really polite and compassionate to everyone, but also wasn't afraid to get my hands dirty from time to time, and I was cold and pragmatic when I had to be.

Anyway, in keeping with this polite, compassionate, but sternly efficient demeanor, I chose to romance neither Ashley nor Liara. A Spectre Agent rescuing the galaxy from certain destruction doesn't have time to mess around!! Letting Liara down nicely was straightforward enough, she's a huge nerd and isn't smooth enough to flirt and sidle into it, so when she straight out asks you if you like her you can just politely say no.

Ashley on the other hand....

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

So, how do I hear all of her stories, be a polite and compassionate dude, but also make it clear as early as possible that it just isn't going to happen?


texts: Tiamat splash and Infinite Duress (Warwick ultimate)

texts:
The wikia entry for Tiamat specifically mentions that it does 50% of physical damage as splash. It also gives Infinite Duress (Warwick's R) as an exception, without mentioning further details.

Does this mean that items which add on-hit magic damage (Wits' End, Malady) do not contribute to the splash?
How does it work with Warwick's ultimate? Specifically, Tiamat splashes physical damage done while Duress does magic damage - so will Tiamat proc splash but with 0 dmg (no physical component) unless there is a Sheen equipped? If not, is the splash also magic (as per original source) or its converted into physical dmg?
If Tiamat splashes during Duress, since it is using a magic damage source will that add on-hit effects from e.g. Wits' even if this is not normally the case?

texts: Countering terran's initial rush in 2v2 co-op vs hard AI

texts:
Related question (but not quite duplicate): How do I learn to effectively transfer to 2v2 hard AI as Zerg?

We're playing Zerg and Protoss and using co-op vs AI as a training ground to practice the macro cycle before experimenting on the ladder. We're having a problem defending against terran during the initial rush in 2v2 vs the AI.

We can both beat the hard and very hard AIs individually, and we can easily beat 2v2 hard AI by cheesing (the AI especially doesn't like being cannon rushed). However, as we're trying to practice macro, cheesing seems counterproductive.

The problem is, the hard AI predictably moves out around 6:30 with an aggressive timing push which is quite difficult to hold with "normal" openings. If we go up against two Zergs or Protoss, we can hold reasonably effectively. If we have one terran opponent it's a bit scrappy - if one of us fast-expanded we usually lose the expo, but we can usually kill the AI's expansions in return and go on to win. If we have two terran opponents we can't hold.

I've had a quick look over our replays and we're not doing anything differently in the matches we're struggling with. The causal factor seems to be the terran.

The timing push consists of around 10 marauders and 12 marines. It hits around 7 minutes. We'll usually have 8 gateway units (3 zealots, a stalker, a sentry, and one round of warpins from 3 gates), an immortal, and around 30 zerglings.

Do we need more (or different) units?
Is there an obvious counter I'm missing?
Is there anything you can think of that we're likely to be doing wrong in the opening?
Is 2v2 vs AI just not good for this kind of practice?

As I say, we're trying to practice macro, so we'd rather avoid doing anything obtuse - e.g. it's pretty easy to 1v4 hard AI if you cheese + exploit the AI's weaknesses (the AI hates being cannon rushed...), but that's not very good macro-cycle practice.

Thanks in advance!

In Stormwind, at least, the battlemasters (i.e. the NPCs that will queue you for battlegrounds) never attack Onyxia's dragonkin, so I'm assuming combat with NPCs is not possible (under normal circumstances).

Lazy Battlemasters! But I assume this is so that BG queues are uninterrupted. There's also the possibility that this was not always the case in Vanilla I suppose.


texts: What is this old arcade third-person shooter similar to Contra?

texts:
Back in 91/92, there was an arcade only game that was out. You could buy items/weapons/ammo at checkpoints, I can't remember if it was at the end of a level, or if it was in a shop.

2 players could play simultaneous split screen-split vertically, so you would have left/right sides. The view during the game itself was over the shoulder 3rd person-almost identical to Contra (level 2). You had a map as well, and could strafe in addition to moving to new areas. No screen was "locked in", so running off screen immediately showed the new area. It was a shooter of some type, and either the joystick or fire button had a special control type, like a gear you'd turn instead of a button to press.

I've looked everywhere, and have found a screenshot to use. This is a long shot, but I'd really like to know. Mazzio's pizza actually had the cabinet in their pizza place. This is all that I have on the game, as I'm 35 now and that was about 25 years ago

Exception Information    The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.

For Green Lantern, you are instead greeted by this:

If your empire is fragmented, will the rebels walk through foreign territory, or will they magically bypass it?
Does all types of rebels have teleporting technology?

I have a stack of Sunni Zealots on Rhodes, and one in Trebizond, while my closest territory is in Greece (or possibly Cyprus). I'm hoping for them to come to me, as I can't be bothered building a million transports just to curb stomp them, but so far they've been content just sitting where they are.

texts:
Been trying to survive the Masterwork mod for Dwarf Fortress, but im lucky if I can do well enough to have more migrants past the 3rd wave. Its not the wilderness or the ambushes that get me anymore its the migrants themselves. If its not a plague from hell its a psycho with an animated weapon as a pet or my favorite is a necromancer in disguise. My last game I got 3 Vampires in one wave, 3 drained bodies all of a sudden, right after a psycho went berserk and another went mad. In the span of about 3 minutes I lost 6 dwarves out of 17 (not including the 3 dwarven vampires I now have to find and dispose of). Its hard to recover after that and if you dont have a growing wealth migrants just stop showing up.

So how do I turn some of this stuff off or make it past this at all?

texts: What does the medallion next to a message signify?

texts:
In Dark Souls 3 (and some of the previous games in the series, if I remember correctly), messages on the ground have a "medallion" to the left of the message text, as pictured below:

The majority of messages I see in-game have the style of medallion shown in the picture above, but I have seen a few that are gold or blue, and have different designs on them. I know the "bell" design signifies that the message is a "system" message (i.e. a message that was hard-coded into the game), but I'm not sure about any of the others.

Does anyone know what the different medallion colors/designs mean? My google-fu is normally pretty strong, but it has failed me when it comes to answering this question.


texts: Do cards that increase battle point accumulation also increase xp gain?

texts:
The Bounty Hunter star card is a battle point increasing star card for each of the four main classes:

The heavy also has an additional battle point increasing card, Defender:

These cards can be nice when the player is trying to get points for another class or hero.  But I wonder: 'does this also increase the rate that experience points are gained?' That would make the cards more useful, because  otherwise a player might get experience points faster with other cards if these cards didn't count towards that value.

Do battlepoint increasing cards also improve the rate of experience point gain for the player and his current class?  Essentially do you receive experience points for all of the battle points you receive.  Or are the two values tracked separately and battle point cards do not impact player or class experience points?

texts:
I'm going to start modding a gun for a companion soon, and I'm thinking about long barrels, stocks, etc. But then I realized that maybe they hip-fire all the time, and that would make the long barrel and stock pretty useless.

texts:
I was just thinking about this situation I ran into yesterday;

My friends and I are defending on Hanamura. We're all fighting to defend A, and as I am chasing an enemy down to kill them, the point is captured. I kill the enemy, but we are already losing B; an enemy Genji had camped in B to get the process started quickly. As a Roadhog with no movement options, I ran the whole way back.

My question is, will it ever be quicker to jump off the map, die, and respawn? Or is running back the fastest way to do so? Is there any advantage of one way over the other, aside from the obvious flank from behind?

texts: What's the formula for the range of enchantment values on an item?

texts:
I often try to sell "powerful" rare items on the auction house.  I generally look for items that have high numbers for primary stats.  For instance, if I'm playing a dexterity-focused character, and I find something with no dexterity, but +50 intelligence, I might opt to sell that on the auction house.

However, I really have no idea what the valid range for these enchantments is.  I'd like to figure out when I'm actually holding something that is above average, versus just sort of guessing.  It strikes me that the more "awesome" a rare item's enchantments are, the higher I should try to price it on the auction house.  It would also be useful for sorting the "resaleable" rares from the vendor trash items.

I know, for instance, that there are minimum item levels for certain enchantments altogether (ie, nothing below 15 has sockets, and +resist gear doesn't show up until Nightmare levels).  However, as item levels increase, does the valid range for the enchantment also increase?  What's the formula?

texts: How to select which relics to retain vs to salvage in the junk pile

texts:
I'm a little confused about what I should or should not retain in the way of relics. Does anyone have a rule of thumb for this?

I'm forced to decide so as to allow me to ascend. This is a bit odd because each world has one relic, so every ascension you can have 4 saved relics and 1 in the junk pile at most. It is not really a pile. I don't know why the interface's box is so large.

To illustrate with my specific case I have (direct transcription sorry for the obvious text and lack of abbreviations):

Ranger Gloves of Diseases Rare Level 23

-3% Boss Life
+0.5% Chance of 10x Gold
+2% Chance of Primal Bosses

Copper Mark of Wrath Common Level 34

+140% Click Damage
+249% Gold gained from monsters when idle (no clicks for 60 seconds)
+3% Chance of double rubies from clickable treasures, when you get a ruby.

Copper Band of Souls Common Level 26

+3% Chance of Primal Bosses
+4 seconds to duration of Lucky Strikes

Ranger Gloves of Greed Uncommon Level 35

+175% Gold Dropped

Rusty Sword of Battery Life Common Level 22

+17 seconds to duration of Metal Detector
+2 to starting zone after Ascension
+50% Gold gained from monsters when idle (no clicks for 60 seconds)
+1 seconds to duration of Clickstorm

Going on rarity I might get rid of the lowest level common item (#5) or going on level I might get rid of the lowest level item (also #5). However I am and idle style player and I am not sure I want to give up the +50% Gold when idle compared to giving up say (#1) the -3% Boss Life, +0.5% Chance of 10x Gold, +2% Chance of Primal Bosses. I mean I like primal bosses having a better chance, and the 10x gold thing is awesome when it happens to a treasure chest... but really, over all +50% gold might progress faster & further? It's hard for me to say.

texts: Is there a reason why weapons are so cheap on the auction house?

texts:
As this is usually exactly the opposite in other games, this is confusing me somewhat, especially since the essential mechanics are still the same.

The weapon slot is still the slot which has the potential to increase your DPS the most, yet really, really good equipment on the auction house seems to be dirt-cheap, while other equipment types (essentially everything that is not a weapon or off-hand), is really expensive.

I just spent 5k gold to increase my DPS by 50%, and I'm Level 55.

Is there a special reason why people sell weapons so cheaply? Are they dropped more commonly than other types of equipment?

So the question is simple: in a middle of a case, will I get a penalty for doing something else for days or will I be marked as a detective taking days and days to go from crime scene to suspect's house? Will the final appreciation of the case (in term of number of stars) be affected by this behavior?
I perhaps have to wait to finish the game to be able to do the side missions and tourism...?

texts:
Path of Exile has done away with a single unified currency entirely.  Seeing as how every player is a shipwrecked survivor inhabiting a hostile land, that definitely makes sense from an in-game perspective.

The problem is, there's no way to tell what anything is worth, or which items are worth more as part of the local economy.

The merchants give you Scroll Fragments for white items, so we can sort of divine that that is the base item value.  But it doesn't really flow well from there, as unidentified magic items give you Transmutation Shards, while apparently identified magic items give you Scroll Fragment(s), thereby losing 80% (or less, as you get higher level stuff) of the value, just by identifying the item.

Identified rares give you Alteration Shards, yet another item type.  By taking a look at the purchasable items that Nessa has, I have figured out the following:

Item                     Cost                    Cost in total Scroll Fragments
Scroll Fragment             1                                  1
Scroll of Wisdom     Scroll Fragmentx5                         5
Portal Scroll        Scroll of Wisdomx3                       15
Orb of Transmutation Portal Scrollx7                         105
Orb of Augmentation  Orb of Transmutationx4                  420
Orb of Alteration    Orb of Augmentationx4                 1,680 (!!)

That gives me a good baseline, sort of, but there are quite a few orbs past that.  Where does the Orb of Alchemy fit in?  Orb of Chance?  Chromatic Orb?  Or heck, let's get crazy, and add in the Armorer's Scrap and Blacksmith's Whetstone!  Or they worth anything in the local economy at all?  How can I figure this whole thing out?

texts: How many free rune pages do you start with?

texts:
I know that you can buy more rune pages in the store for 6300IP each.  I have a friend who was awarded Rammus and Corki for free, probably due to some glitch that thought he was signed up for his account longer than he actually was.  I know that they were awarded to players early on in the life of the game.

That same friend also has 3 rune pages, whereas I only have 2 available.  Is there a button I'm missing that will give me an extra free rune page?  Was he also mysteriously awarded a third rune page by some glitch?

Two rune pages is hardly enough to set up any kind of reasonable array, but I don't play nearly enough to warrant saving up 6300IP just to have the privilege of spending tens of thousands of IP on new runes for a jungler.  How do other people have 3 rune pages for free whereas I'm stuck with only 2?


texts: What's the actual structure/shape of Cocoon?

texts:
So far I've finished the first four or five chapters of the game. The Datalog tries to explain the setting as well as other facts while you experience the game.

However, so far I still can't really associate the locations I've explored so far to any particular structure of Cocoon. It's obviously a floating sphere/world, surrounded by clouds:

What's the structure of Cocoon? Are people living on the outside of the sphere? Do they live inside (hollow world)? If so, where's the center of mass/gravity?

The following paragraphs will reveal some minor parts of the story (first few chapters), don't continue reading if you want to experience it first.

During the first few minutes of the game, the train is seen entering a giant cave system, called The Hanging Edge (according to the Datalog it's "located near Cocoon's Outer Rim"). Where is that supposed to be? Is that on the corner of the crack(?) seen in Cocoon's depiction?

There's a big dark below the bridges and the characters speak of the land Pulse being down there, below.

However, a bit later it's revealed that down there(?) is a giant ocean which is transformed into crystal. The protagonists enter some kind of ruined city and finally manage to escape with a glider.

After travelling through clouds they'll crash land in The Vile Peaks:

According to the Datalog:

  The Vile Peaks are built of debris - the castoffs of material originally lifted up from Pulse by the fal'Cie and used in the construction of Cocoon and later additions of landmass.

So where is that supposed to be? Is this still on/in Cocoon? Somewhere on the outside? Inside? In one video sequence they look up into the stars and see a floating station or city.

What's even more confusing for me are the cities visited/depicted so far, which all clearly have a clear sky, for example Bodhum:

Is Bodhum supposed to be on the outer shell of Cocoon? If so, how about the gravity? After all, Cocoon is depicted as a sphere with water dripping off/outside it (see picture above).

If possible, try to avoid spoilers in your answers, especially if this confusion regarding the structure/shape of the world is somehow meant to be experienced as part of the story (i.e. protagonists aren't sure either).

Restarting the whole system and running it.
Launching it with Wine directly (gives me another error there - Can not reach the update manager at all).
Creating a shortcut and launching it from there.

If someone has any ideas it would be great.

texts: Can you only make an 'Investment' in one merchant total?

texts:
Ok, so with the Investor perk (Speech 70) you can make an investment in different merchants.  I've found a lot of them in the game giving up the offer and I've invested in about 5 different merchants so far, however, only the first one that I invested in has ever actually had an increase in money.

Can you only invest in ONE merchant?  Has anybody else invested in multiple merchants?
I know I can get the next perk up the chain to give everybody more gold overall but that isn't the issue.

Just not sure if this is a bug or a 'feature' for the PS3?

I was wondering how to use the /spawnpoint command in 1.9.4. I tried /spawnpoint @p -44 7 -28 and it said:

Set spawnpoint to -44 7 -28

I then used /kill but I respawned at my original spawn location and the following message(s) appeared:

Killed JohnnyBobMan (Me)
JohnnyBobMan fell out of the world
Your home bed was missing or obstructed

When I tried /spawnpoint -44 7 28 (Not -28), it worked and sent me to -44 7 28. This may seem like a solution but remember: It want to respawn at -28, not 28.

Thanks alot for your time.

texts: Do weapon precision upgrades improve your squad mates?

texts:
I have been dubious as to how much weapon upgrades that affect precision really works for your squad mates. For the player it's fairly simple - it's easier to hit because the weapon reticle is smaller or the bullet spread is tighter.

But how does it work for my squade mates like Ashley or James? Do they simply hit more often or are precision upgrades wasted on anyone but the player?


texts: Can you beat the game without visiting the human outpost in The Ur-Quan Masters?

texts:
Note: I am still somewhere around the early parts of the game, having befriended several of the alien species. I am unsure about any details of the victory condition (and in fact don't even know if there is one), and have only vague ideas about the overarching mysteries of the game. I would greatly appreciate hiding any spoilers from myself or others who are interested.

I am curious about whether it is possible to beat the game without visiting the human outpost altogether? AFAIK, it would be possible to get enough fuel from the Melnorme traders to last a long while if the player knew what they were doing.

If that is not possible, is it possible to avoid getting the radioactives from the Sol system? Let's say that the player's lander is destroyed on Mercury while having all the radioactives onboard, and they accidentally shoot any others they come across in the system. Is continuing from this point possible? What if the player has only a single unit of fuel?

These questions assume that the player will win all fights with the accompanying Earthling Cruiser, without any losses. However, not with the flagship (without great improvements).

texts: This is the first time I'm being with the Dark Brotherhood. When I go into their home my followers do not come with me? Why is that?

I am trying to beat the Jack in the Box, but every time he has his punching bag out (where he tries to hit me and then hits himself and stuns himself), I take damage.

How do I beat this boss?


texts:
The alpha build of Elite: Dangerous doesn't appear to have a button to clear a control binding, or any indication of how to clear a control binding.

In my particular instance, I was playing with a mouse so was using the "Mouse and Keyboard" profile, which has bound my mouse to ship movements, but now I am playing with a gamepad and want to clear the mouse controls without changing my profile (since I've bound a variety of other controls since, and have already bound my gamepad).

How can I clear a control binding that has been set and reset it to nothing?

So apparently I have a ghost following me now that makes really annoying noises every time I enter a new area. Ulira just tells me to take it where it wants to go, but that is NO HELP because as far as I can see, I have no way to actually get the ghost to tell me where he/she/it wants to be.

Please help me! I am tired of being haunted!


texts: Minecraft command blocks - Detecting powered button/lever

texts:
I've went through various wiki pages and commands. I'm still stuck on the most basic command trying to make it work.

Here's the code:

/execute if block -272 70 199 minecraft:stone_button[powered=true] run say Hello, blocks!

Now the wiki says if block execute command works like /execute if block <position> <block> <command>. If I understood correctly, it should be:

if (block at -272 70 199 = powered stone button)
say "Hello, blocks!"

but well it doesn't do anything. Is there something wrong with the syntax?

enable-command-blocks is set to true, command block set to impulse-unconditional-always on, and I am the server admin.

※P.S. If somebody can tell me how the code structures work in this thing, it'd be greatly appreciated (mostly about what NBT tags are).


texts: Is it possible to get every achievement in Diablo III?

texts:
I noticed that each of the class achievements require you to get to level 60 with two separate characters of the same class, but you only get 9 character slots.
Does that mean it's not possible to get every single achievement in the game?
