texts: Dashing vs Non-Dashing, and Stalking in General

texts:
In XCom:EU I tend to alert the enemy a lot and can not sneak up on them.  Thus they get the first retreat and usually the first shot starting the next round  I know there is Ghost Armor later in the game but for the early game:

Does dashing causes more noise?  Can you stalk better if you don't dash?
Does ground type affect detection?  Cocrete vs metal
Does jumping over logs create noise?
Even better does the game even factor in noise like the older games?  I know the squad can hear enemy movement.

In the other UFO/Xcom games there were stalking abilities.  Are there any skills that improve stalking in XCom:EU

texts: Why won't Vigilante sub-mission end at level 12 like others?

texts:
I wanted to complete Vigilante sub-mission now that I can access Rhino since it's rewarded with improved body armour hit points.

Other missions ended with level 12, announcing the upgrade received. But I'm on level 30 and the Vigilante doesn't end. The amount of money keeps increasing to ridiculous amounts, but I was after the bonus armour, not cash:


texts: Competitive: match suddenly ends without warning

texts:
I was in the middle of a competitive match, when all of a sudden, around four people left at the same time. Not sure if they were on my team or not, but I assume those were on the enemy team since they were losing badly. A few seconds after the disconnects, I'm suddenly back on the main menu myself, with no explanation as to what just happened. No message, no warning.

At first, I thought I disconnected, but I wasn't logged out (I still had internet) and the "Play" button didn't say "Rejoin", so I assume the whole competitive match was just... finished? Usually, when the other team leaves, you still go through the usual endgame stuff: the victory screen, POTG and endgame cards. This time however, I was just sent straight to the main menu.

I checked to see if I was maybe penalized or something, but everything seems fine. Unfortunately, I don't know if it registered a win, but it seems like I got points instead of losing them. Or maybe nothing happened? I have no idea if that match counted as a win or not because of its abrupt ending.

What happened here?

texts: Does the Specialist's Threat Assessment granted on a Sharpshooter trigger their pistol or Sniper overwatch shot?

texts:
The title essentially covers the main question.

A Sharpshooter requires 2 moves to use overwatch with their sniper rifle, and only one to overwatch with the pistol. If a specialist uses threat assessment on a sharpshooter that has used all of their turns, which weapon would be used if an enemy moves into their line of sight?

Additionally, if it is the sniper rifle, would it still trigger with squad sight?

texts: It seems like I made a mistake connecting my game to my facebook account. I don't feel a big need to have a backup all the time. So, there is a switch in the options, which, I suppose, allows you to stop this automatic synchronisation. But even though it is always on "off" in my TDS, it continues doing backups. How do I stop this? Will the "choose a backup" disappear after disable automatic backups?

texts: Help with sound for a Xbox 360 w/ HDMI cable

texts:
I just got the new "kinect ready" 4GB Xbox 360 and I have it hooked up to my computer monitor via an HDMI cable (no actual TV). However my monitor has no built in speakers, hence no sound. Looking at the back of the xbox it looks like the only way I can get sound is to try and run a SPDIF-to-RCA converter from the xbox into my audio mixer.

The AUX cable that comes with it has the RCA connections on it, but its got a plastic bit on it that prevents it from being plugged in at the same time as the HDMI cable (assuming that's intentional), so I can't try and use that for audio as-is.

I guess my question is: Is buying a SPDIF-to-RCA converter my best bet for getting sound in this situation?

Edit 1: Monitor: SAMSUNG BX2431 LED (via newegg)


texts: Does running from wild Pokemon increase the amount of times wild Pokemon appear?

It always feels like if I run away from a couple of battles in a row with wild Pokemon, then I end up having to battle wild Pokemon every few steps, whereas if I just battle them and get it over with, I might not battle another for quite a while.

Is there actually a relationship between running and more Pokemon appearing? Or is this just an example of confirmation bias on my part?

texts:
I'm looking through the CS:GO game state information here -> https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Game_State_Integration

I haven't set anything up yet to analyse the data, but I'm curious about the returned values to the endpoint I will hypothetically set up, and if anyone has any further knowledge I'd really appreciate it.

Below is the list of "game state integrations" potential config settings:

"map_round_wins" "1"          // history of round wins
"map" "1"                     // mode, map, phase, team scores
"player_id" "1"               // steamid
"player_match_stats" "1"      // scoreboard info
"player_state" "1"            // armor, flashed, equip_value, health, etc.
"player_weapons" "1"          // list of player weapons and weapon state
"provider" "1"                // info about the game providing info
"round" "1"                   // round phase and the winning team

// Below this line must be spectating or observing
"allgrenades" "1"             // grenade effecttime, lifetime, owner, position, type, velocity
"allplayers_id" "1"           // the steam id of each player
"allplayers_match_stats" "1"  // the scoreboard info for each player
"allplayers_position" "1"     // player_position but for each player
"allplayers_state" "1"        // the player_state for each player
"allplayers_weapons" "1"      // the player_weapons for each player
"bomb" "1"                    // location of the bomb, who's carrying it, dropped or not
"phase_countdowns" "1"        // time remaining in tenths of a second, which phase
"player_position" "1"         // forward direction, position for currently spectated player

What I'm wondering is what specific values are returned for each.  More specifically I'm looking at config settings "allplayers_state" "1" and "allplayers_position" "1".  Does anyone know what specific values these are returning?   I'm hoping for x+y axis positions of crosshairs and longitude and latitude of position of player on map.

Does anyone know if these data are available?

Please let me know what keys you guys use for sprinting or if I can change the setting so that I can sprint and jump at the same time. Thank you.


texts: Viewing Non-owned Steam Game Achievements

texts:
On the Steam store page for games, if the game has more than four achievements, it is possible to click "view all achievements" to view the global statistics and details for those achievements.

However, if the game has four or less than four achievements, there is no link to access these achievements. Very strange that Valve has done nothing about this (that is easily findable)

Is there a way to access this data without going through other profiles (a possibility mentioned here)?

For convenience, the last game I saw that describes the problematic scenario is Voxelied

Games occupy more and more memory. XBox One amount of storage is usually limited to 500GB or 1TB. Users must manage their storage wisely or extend the storage hardware.

To manage wisely I would like to know how much storage the installed games occupy.

I tried to use the context menu on a games icon, where it is possible to close it (if it is running) or to delete it. Unfortunately there was no further info indicating the storage consumption.

Also I did not find the needed information in the settings area.

texts: Is it possible to play minecraft with multiple people on the same computer?

texts:
Backstory: My friends and I go are both pc gamers and go round each overs houses (not anymore obviously) for sleepovers. Because we are on pc there aren't many games we can play together.

Problem: We are both massive Minecraft lovers and we were wondering if we are able to play Minecraft together on the same machine with different accounts with different input devices so theoretically we could play on the same server together? We have searched everywhere and didn't find much. We were wondering if we could do this through a Virtual Machine maybe? It's just the only issue is that we cannot have the same window open at the same time...

texts:
Different heroes have different shorts, comics, and lore pieces.   Some maps offer insight into the things that have changed, like Eichenwalde showing us the relics of the Omnic War and the aftermath.  But what I would like to know is what is the Overwatch timeline, in terms of all the shorts and lore pieces we have had.

In a recent Overwatch-news lore, a young girl who specialized in drones and AI was interviewed, apparently for having won a competition. This sparked a series of debates on whether or not this "interview" was given in the context of the past, or the present, and Michael Chu, the lead writer on Overwatch, said that the interview was occuring in the "present time" of Overwatch:

  That date is just our "real world" publish date. The interview takes place in the present day of the OW timeline.

For example, does S:76's short that happens on Dorado happen around the same time Sombra, Reaper, and Widowmaker infiltrate Volskaya Industries? Does Recall happen before these two, or during the two, or after? For some it's clear what place they take, like Alive starting before the rest of the shorts, but unclear if it takes place after or before the Omnic War.

In essence, I would love to understand what is the "now" of Overwatch. We are already given context into events past, like the Omnic War, the destruction of OW headquarters, the "death" of Ana and such, but are we given concrete dates of when these events have passed, and what is the "present day" of Overwatch?

texts: When does the social club site update the vehicle statistics?

texts:
Visting my profile on Rockstar's Social Club website my missions, trophies etc. will update usually within some hours after I played GTA V while signed in to my PS3 Account.

But the vehicle section still lists very few vehicles as driven. Some characters even have seemingly not used a car at all.

Is this just a synchronization bug by the Social CLub servers or are there special criteria on what counts as 'driven' for a vehicle? For example need it to be outside of a mission? Do I need to actually save the car in one of my garages?


texts: Does Pokemon: GO indicate that you've powered up a Pokemon?

texts:
One factor that's involved in guessing the IV's of a Pokemon is whether or not you have powered it up. This is apparently due to the fact that it takes two power-ups to raise your Pokemon one level, but wild Pokemon never half a "half" level.

Just looking at my list, I don't always remember if I have leveled some of my Pokemon up yet. While the difference doesn't appear to be significant, it would be useful to know.

Is there any indicator in the UI that you have powered up a given Pokemon before? (I checked the journal and didn't see anything there).


texts: What Should I Know Before playing The Witcher (Enhanced Edition) for the first time?

I even chose 2 dwarves, and turned off all their labors, so they spent a few years socializing, listening for stories, etc. Still no sign of babies. (BTW I used Dwarf Therapist to make sure they have proper sexuality; also, one of them "dreams of making a family" - come on, do it!)

Do I get more chances to successfully catch the fish?

Basically, what advantages does the Old Man's Pole have over the Teacher's Pole (or any other, if there are hidden ones)?

UPDATE

Reading the Wiki - Bird of Prey, it does say that:

  'the ship must remain cloaked from the start of the volley until the
  battle is over and the after-battle text pops up.'

I think the reason is that the ship just didn't last until the text and the cloak was done just before it :-(, well at least the mystery is solved.

texts:
Extremely annoying to deal with.  I've tried using throws, focus attacks, and spd's, and these work well on D level opponents, but once you get into C and above, it seems nearly every player uses autoblock, and abuses it to advantage.

Since each on autoblock is effectively punishable, it makes it annoying when I really want to get damage in.  It's annoying to know that, on console, it would actually hit, but on the 3DS, it just lets them absorb damage then punish.

How do I deal with auto-block users? I've also tried filtering users to Pro-mode users, but it takes nearly forever just trying to find a match in the same region with the same controls.

In Borderlands 1 the second playthrough had a "playthrough 2.5" once you beat The Destroyer, which changed the game so enemies (and most mission rewards) scaled to your level. Because of this it was best to play only story missions until beating the Destroyer so mission loot would be the best loot possible.

How do the playthroughs work in Borderlands 2? I've unlocked True Vault Hunter mode which starts out just like playthrough 2 in BL1, but I don't know if there's a "2.5" equivalent of if it's finally a real third playthrough or what.

But sometimes, some fighters get into the invincibility frames before the Down A activates. Is it something any character can do? If not, are only certain characters immune (if so, which ones)?

make a slot in gear
reroll a full gear

But how do you know how many Super Sea Snails you have?!

I cannot find this info anywhere!

Several walk-throughts didn't help me at that point.

texts: How can I tell whether a skill is a "default weapon attack"?

texts:
I'm playing Grim Dawn using a Shaman/Soldier classes.  I'm using Primal Strike and Thunderous Strike (so I get lightning strikes on every attack).

I also had points in:

Brute Force
Feral Hunger
Upheaval

But someone pointed out to me that I'm wasting my points in Feral Hunger and Upheaval, because they only work in conjunction with "default weapon attacks", and Thunderous Strike isn't a default weapon attack.

Up till now I had assumed that any passive skill (marked with a circle) works with any active skill (marked with a square), but that seems not to be the case.  When I'm choosing skills, is there a way I can tell whether given passive and active skills will work together?

I did find this page...

https://grimdawn.gamepedia.com/Default_weapon_attack_replacer_skills

...which seems to indicate that there are almost no primary weapon skills with which I can use these passive skills.  Is that right?  If so, how can I best tailor my character to use passive skills (or avoid them if they'll be useless)?

texts:
So the update has added in a race track where you can pay 50,000 (so far) to enter your dragon and then race it. Unlike most things in Dragonvale this is an interactive race and dragon selection has a large impact upon the outcome as the dragons naturally move faster in the environments they are attuned to and move slower in ones that are their opposites.

What I am after is a list of the race tracks and their elements. I can guess at some of them but some times I am very far off (I thought shimmering was ice, instead it was lightning for example).


texts: Multiple z levels non lethal chute - is it possible?

texts:
I have read a few Q&A on building a chute/shaft in the context of moving ore faster to smelters etc. I would like to build a 1x1 chute for captured enemies which sit in some cages. They would fall all the way down to the caves, somewhat unharmed. The goal would be to populate some cave levels and have the beasts/animals/enemies fight it out, which I find entertaining1.

So I wouldn't want to have to operate a series of traps with levers to make them fall "in stages" or what not. Is it possible to conceive such a forgiving chute? And if so, how?

1 A long time ago I watched this video where I saw two forgotten beasts edge it out in some pool of water, so this is where I get the inspiration for cave random encounters... as long as it doesn't involve my dwarves!


texts: What to do with extra rare/set/legendary items in Diablo 3?

texts:
I started playing on Torment difficulty and I'm gathering a lot of rare/set/legendary items that I don't know what to do with since my gear is better. I'm unsure if I should sell or break down the items into crafting materials. I just got the Kanai cube, but I'm not sure if I should extract the attributes of my legendary items or just break them down for mats. Is it better to keep them for other characters? I seem to only be gathering items with +Str and +Vit that could be good for my Crusader, but nothing I can transfer to my Wizard.

So basically, what should I do with all this extra loot?

As described in Why is Pikachu wearing a Santa hat and what does it mean?, there is a limited time promotion where wild Pikachu can be wearing a Santa hat. Additionally, if they are evolved into Raichu, they too will be wearing a Santa hat.

Pikachu's pre-evolution is Pichu, and the most recent update announced a Johto Holiday and the ability for Pichu to hatch from eggs

  Professor Willow has discovered Togepi and Pichu hatching from Eggs! Starting later today, Trainers will have the opportunity to hatch these and several other Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Johto Region in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver video games. These are the first of more Pokémon coming to Pokémon GO over the next few months.

Can a Pichu wearing a Santa hat hatch from an egg?


texts:
Often times, as quest rewards, I end up with a unique item.  Most of the time, I take a look at it and go "meh, this is garbage compared to what I have now" and mark it as junk.

However, many of these items have special properties that overcome their junk stats.  I've taken to checking the wiki every time I find a unique quest reward just to make sure it doesn't have any hidden, super useful properties, unique abilities, synergistic tendencies, or glitches that make them invaluable.  Other times, they're just really junk.

Trying to figure this out is really irritating though, and I've sold items only to find out later that they were so awesome and I've lost my chance at having them.  Other times I've filled my inventory with quest rewards that I never could quite understand the usefulness of.  It would be nice if there was a summary of the really critical ones to keep.

What quest rewards should I hang on to long after their acquisition?  What unique items should I keep, regardless of their stats?

texts: Most effective path (tower defense maps)

texts:
I'm playing a SC2 "tower-defense"-like map, and need to find out how to build walls efficiently, so that units stay longer on the map and take more damage.

The map looks like this:

The most common strategy is to build your wall around a turning point (the red arrow). This seems to give you the ability to deal a lot of damage and a decent time advantage.

But how can I increase that time, by building two spirals, around two turning points, and make it so the unit has to pass one of them 2 times in order to get to the end?

I know it's possible, I've seen it in another map, but can't remember how. :(


texts: Where do I put spies in Civilization 4 to protect against rival spies?

texts:
I'm playing Beyond The Sword and when I want to build a spy I notice they supposedly: Helps Thwart Rival Spies:

Should I leave a spy stationed at borders? Should I place them cities? Does it matter where they are placed in order to effectively thwart rival spies? I can't seem to find any correlation to where I put them and my success rate of stopping incoming espionage.

The reason I ask is because I'm playing a world-scenario starting in 1000 as the Indian empire and the starting borders are all mountainous, that is, there are very few entrances I have to guard. They are quick to train and I'm getting constantly attacked by spies - not just in my cities but also towns, watch-towers, farms, etc.

Update:

I'm not sure if this has to do with anti-spy buildings (e.g. Intelligence Agency) or because I've stationed a spy in every city, but I'm seeing a huge increase in these messages:

I'm asking this because I always have to restart my laptop to disable virtualization, otherwise Fortnite won't get pass the BattlEye loading thingy. I read in some Fortnite update blog post that they now support Easy Anti-Cheat. Is there any way to force Fortnite to use this? Easy Anti-Cheat might be a solution to this problem (if my assumption that Easy Anti-Cheat does not require virtualization turned off is true).

I can't permanently keep virtualization turned on because I have some important VMs that I need, and it's a pain to keep restarting my laptop to just play a game.

texts:
Today I learned that, for all heroes with limited ammunition, they can reload cancel their weapons with a melee attack.

What I'm curious about is, does it really save time? Is it really a "cancel"?  I'll give an example.

With Reaper's shotguns, if he presses reload, the ammo indicator on the bottom right will instantly refresh to 8/8, but it will still play the "drop gun, pull new ones out of thin air" animation.   If I melee after pressing reload, it will allow me to fire as soon as the melee animation takes place.

However, what I've seen is that if I press melee immediately after I press reload, there seems to be a delay as to when I can fire the shotguns. If I wait just a half-second later to press melee, then I can fire almost immediately.  Because of this delay, I'm wondering if reload cancelling really does save time, or is the reload time set, regardless of cancelling?

Approximately how many people can I kill before I've accrued as much Awareness as renovating a building?


texts: What are the values of score for different actions

texts:
What is the score amount for each action?

I am asking this in context of the score victory, and the "best score in the first 25 turns" achievement. I used to think that expanding to a new region gave the most score but I think I am mistaken since expanding 8 times in 25 turns didn't give me the score lead.

Some actions that probably have a score value : research, making a unit, expanding. There is probably a file in the game programming that details all this but I was not able to find it.

I just discovered to my utter dismay that I was paying for Plus membership (for over a year), thinking that it is required to access PlayStation Shop. I would have continued to do so, but luckily I saw a YT video, where it was explained that I have free games each month given by Sony.

I was stupid and assume things, which is my fault totally. Now, for the March 2018 I saw BloodBorne given for free, which made me very happy (as I wanted to get that game anyway).
Also, I checked the previous 'giveawys' and there are some titles I would want to have. Is there a way to get them 'retroactively'?

texts:
I wondered about this all the way through Borderlands and now I'm seeing the same thing in Borderlands 2. If a weapon has, for instance, 200 damage, and a modifier that says "+20% weapon damage", does that mean that the weapon actually has 240 damage or that the weapon had 166 damage before the mod was applied?

The answer to this question sort of answers the question for Borderlands, but I'm still not sure in Borderlands 2.

Is a 135-HP a reasonable value for 2750-CP Dragonite?
Why are they called "tanky"?

Before power-up: 1983-CP / 116-HP
After power-up: 2750-CP / 135-HP

texts: How to get the Wall of Flesh to face the right direction

texts:
On the PS Vita release of Terraria, I cannot fight the wall of flesh (fairly). I have built a long bridge across the underworld, but no matter where I drop the doll, the Wall of Flesh always spawns facing away from me and moving towards the closest border of the world (i.e. if I'm east of the spawn point, he will appear east of me, heading east). This makes for very quick, very messsy battles with him, which I inevitably lose.

I attempted to simply spawn him in the middle of the underworld and he simply did the same thing - he spawned to the side of me, moving away. Since I was behind him, he dragged me in front of him, which had the unfortunate effect of trapping me against an underworld skyscraper underneath my bridge, drowning in a pool of lava.

I have an NVIDIA 130M card on my laptop, and with a typical widescreen monitor. I play a few games on my laptop, and some of them run in a non-widescreen resolution, such as 800x600 for example.

My graphics card has an option to allow the display to stretch the game's resolution if it's in full screen to widescreen. Now, it looks fine and runs fine, seemingly no frames are lost and it looks as if the game ran in widescreen natively (albeit slightly blurry, but it doesn't detract from the quality).

My question is, does this cost extra processing power, or generate more heat, or put strain on the graphics card? Will playing in this manner cause any ill effects to my machine?

texts: (Java Minecraft 1.14) How to give effects in a function rewarded by an advancement?

texts:
I have a function triggered by an advancement that is supposed to give the player nausea and strength. It looks like this:

tellraw @s [{"text":"[","color":"dark_aqua"},{"selector":"@s","color":"dark_aqua"},{"text":"] ","color":"dark_aqua"},{"text":"I feel ill...","color":"aqua"}]
effect give @s minecraft:nausea 30 3 true
effect give @s minecraft:strength 30 1 true
advancement revoke @s only dark_magic:hidden/drink_blood

This is triggered by the player drinking a retextured milk bucket (a blood-filled bucket), which works fine. The advancement which triggers the function is very simple and looks like this:

{
  "criteria": {
    "drink_blood": {
      "trigger": "minecraft:consume_item",
      "conditions": {
        "item": {
          "item": "minecraft:milk_bucket",
          "nbt": "{BloodBucket:1b,CustomModelData:1}"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "rewards": {
    "function": "dark_magic:progression/story_dialogue/i_feel_ill"
  }
}

When I drink a milk bucket with the custom NBT tag BloodBucket:1b, it works: the /tellraw triggers, and the advancement is revoked, reseting everything so I can drink it again and it will still work. However, the /effect commands don't work. I can run the function manually from the chat, as in /function dark_magic:progression/story_dialogue/i_feel_ill, and the effects work fine, but when run by the advancement, they don't work at all.

Does anyone know why this is? Moreover, does anyone know how to get around this? I know I could tag the player as drank_blood or something and /schedule a function for 1 tick later which executes the effects as all players tagged with drank_blood and removes the tag, but that seems unnecessarily complicated for something as simple as giving an effect.

Am I doing something wrong with a selector or missing something simple, or is this just not possible and I'll need to do the /schedule method?

texts:
I've successfully built a cannon that will fire the player upwards to above the clouds by using this design (found on YouTube).

The player stands on the stone pad, it triggers the TNT and the "water compressor" pushes the TNT towards the player and detonates, sending the player flying.

I've tried replacing the stone plate with a half-slab and dropping activated TNT onto it but it doesn't work - the TNT launcher detonates but the "ammo" doesn't go anywhere and then blows up, destorying torches and redstone for the activiation circuit underneath.

Is this possible to do?

texts: Are these the right factors which contribute in MMR?

texts:
First I would like to tell a little about why I wanted to ask this question. I started Dota 2 3,4 months back as my first MOBA game. At the same time my 2,3 friends transitioned from DotA to Dota 2. They were playing DotA since it came out. Obviously they were way better than me in Dota 2 but when I learned the basics I wasn't that bad compared to them. When we got MMR (almost at the same time) I got 1k while all of them got above 3.5k. Apart from a little humiliation :), the biggest downside was I was not able to join them in party because of the difference of the MMR. Before ranked matches were open, we played in party so many times and they could rely on me both as a carry and support (with selective heroes off-course). The point is The difference between their and my game was not as large as 1k and 3.5k. So I did some research and found that there are some factors apart from wins and loses in TBD phase that decide MMR. If not all , some of them are:

They option you select when first time you fire up Dota2 from a new account. (I selected "Dota 2 is my first MOBA", They selected "I have played Dota 2 before")
KDA and SC in every match. Even before the TBD phase of MMR. (I thought I would perform good in TBD phase and I did but before that I played every solo match as practice match, experimenting)
The 9 or 10 matches of TBD phase have no significance except they show the last remaining matches before calculating public MMR.

There were more, but I found these three more relevant.
So I have made a new account and I am trying to avoid the mistakes I made before. But I cannot authenticate the validity of these factors.

So my question is if these factors affect MMR or not?
 P.S. One thing I noted while playing in new account (I selected "I have played Dota 2 before") that in my first match all the players were of 18-25 level. If unranked matchmaking also  uses public or private MMR instead of player level than I guess at-least the first point is true.


texts:
World of Warcraft now has a feature called Pet Battles, which allows you to fight both NPCs and players with your companion pets. I have noticed while doing pet battles that there are various situations where you get more XP (like attacking higher level enemies with a lower level pet) or don't seem to get experience at all (like if your pet dies during the battle, but one of your other pets still wins the battle for you).

How does Pet Battle experience work? What conditions provide an experience bonus and under what conditions do you get less experience?

Are there any other actions than winning that provide experience for your pets?


texts:
It turns out you can't smartcast Hextech Gunblade's active ability after the Hecarim Patch. To clarify, you can set it to smartcast, but you'll still have to activate the ability, then click on a target, rather than activate the ability, and move your cursor over a target.

Are there any items with active abilities that can no longer be smartcast? Or is this just a bug?


texts: How to defeat Rakanoth as a Demon Hunter?

texts:
I play a Demon Hunter with high DPS but average defense. I usually rely on Caltrops, Vault and the Templar to evade enemies, but I can usually take a few strikes if need be.

However, Rakanoth, the melee boss towards the beginning of act 4 (in the Library of Fate, just off the Gardens of Hope 1st Tier waypoint), is really giving me trouble. He teleports right on me and take away most of my life with one blow, and he does that attack at a higher frequency than I can heal completely, even if I run with powerful potions and Preparation with the healing rune.

What build / strategy can I take to help me defeat it? I'd prefer something which does not require me to change my entire gear.

Difficulty is nightmare, but I have a feeling this question could also apply to hell and inferno.


texts: Is there any fix for the controller of Saints Row 2 on PC

texts:
I recently bought Saints Row 2 at Steam, however, the controls seem to be unnatural and hard to control the main character.

Things like strafing left or rotating the character are unbeliveably ugly. It's different from what GTA4 did.

It looks like the port from the consoles wasn't done right or I'm missing something.

Are there any hotfixes for this or recommended settings?

texts: Speed of tasks for different factions in The Settlers 2

texts:
In The Settlers 2, the different factions appear to have buildings that perform their core functions at different speeds compared to each others' equivalent.  However, this difference in speed seems to be based off of the physical positioning of interactive areas on the buildings and how the settlers walk around it, as opposed to a simple timing variable, making measuring difficult.

What are the relative speeds of the various tasks between the factions?  For example, do the factions take different amounts of time to saw boards into planks at a sawmill, or bake bread at a bakery, and if so, how much?


texts: Can I filter my Steam library by tags or features?

texts:
I can look through the "Store" portion of Steam using tags, and I can also do an advanced-search on certain features like local co-op support.  But for some reason, when I do this I can't tell which games I already own, and I don't seem to be able to do the same search / filter when viewing my library.

Am I missing an option somewhere?  It seems like a no-brainer to be allowed to do this.

texts: What are the rules for Tower targeting in Smite?

texts:
How do towers (and pheonixes and titans etc) decide when to attack minions vs gods when both are in range?

I've personally seen several scenarios where towers ignore minions in favor of gods, when the minions are closer to the tower and attacking it. Other times, I've seen towers attack archers while 4 or 5 gods melee the tower.

I've also been targeted by a tower while I fought another god in the tower circle, even though friendly gods and minions were attacking that tower at the same time, at a much closer range.

I previously thought towers preferred minions before gods. Then I thought it attacked the most healthy enemy within range. Then I thought it attacked maybe the enemy with the highest damage potential, or highest kills, but these all seem to be proven wrong in one situation or another.

Is there a solid rule for their behavior? I'm on console but i assume this isn't platform-specific.

texts: Is my task force tag bugged or is this display showing something else?

texts:
In Ghost Recon Wildlands, up by my gamertag and gamer avatar icon, a small bracket is showing [55650], see the attached screenshot:

This is on Xbox One, and when I check my Ghost Recon Network task force settings I can see that my task force is named "XboxKlubben" (Norwegian name), with the tag "[XbK]":

I thought the text in bracket inside the game was supposed to show the tag of my task force but clearly it does not. Is this just bugged? Is there a way to refresh the task force tag on Xbox One for Wildlands?

I have a PC copy of Wildlands as well but on this it shows the correct tag, and I've double and triple checked that I'm looking at the Xbox One task force on the website.

Note that people I play with also see the number, in angle brackets beside my game, such as <55650> LasseVK. I don't have a screenshot of this however.

texts: How do the regular monsters "see" in Amnesia?

texts:
In Amnesia, you obviously want to avoid all monsters. Most commonly, you encounter zombie-like creatures that you really don't want to mess with. I'm talking about these enemies (image is a little NSWF).

Sometimes, however, you're forced to sneak around near them, and you can get into some pretty hairy situations. To avoid something going wrong, I was hoping for some sort of guide on how these monsters can "sense" me; can they hear me if I'm loud? How easily do they see me? How do I lose one that's chasing me? Overall, what determines whether it will notice and attack me or not?

texts: How is the yield of a district calculated?

texts:
In Civilization 6 the rules for district yields sound clear from the manual, but in practice it seems like they are different.

In the manual, yields seem to be based on 1) adjacency bonus, 2) buildings in the district (these are shown separately if you look at the resource breakdown for the city), 3) specialists assigned to work the district (2 resources per specialist).

But the below Holy Site has a very different story. In the resources breakdown for the city it shows +6 faith for the Holy Site. This doesn't make any sense to me, because based on adjacency bonuses I should have +2 (or +2.5): 1 for the mountain, 1 for the rainforest because I have the Sacred Path pantheon belief, and maybe 0.5 for the adjacent Holy Site from a different city (I don't know if the districts of other cities are counted or if half a point counts).

Separately the breakdown shows +2 for Specialists, but I assume this is separate. Even if it were combined, that doesn't explain how it shows +6.

I do have the Simultaneum policy that doubles faith output from Holy Site district buildings, but buildings are listed separately. For the record my building outputs are +4 Shrine, +8 Temple, +6 Gurdwara. I also have the Triangular Trade policy that provides +1 faith for each trade route, but this city has no trade routes.

I also don't know how to interpret the 1 and 3 that are overlayed on the district in the image. However I think it means I have space for 3 specialists here, but only 1 is assigned (hence the +2 from Specialists).

Incidentally, it would be really nice for choosing policies if the game provided a way to lookup adjacency bonuses once a district is already built.

texts: Starcraft 2: Defending against proxy 2-rax (and early aggression in general) as Terran

texts:
TLDR: How can a (Terran) player in the lower leagues successfully defending against rushes / early pushes?  In this particular game from earlier today, the opponent is a Terran who did a proxy 2-rax.  (I didn't think I could defend so I quickly gg-ed - maybe I shouldn't have given up so easily?)

I am not so much looking for build orders.  Rather, I'm looking for principles/guidelines that will increase my chances of defending against early aggression when I'm following a macro-ish build (12 Rax / 14 Gas / 18 CC).  For example, potential factors which come to mind include:

Building placement
Worker micro
Resource allocation (i.e., curbing worker production in favor of army production)
Abandoning ship and going to a new base (which wasn't feasible on this particular map - see game below - but it might be relevant on bigger maps).
Other factors not listed here?
A combination of the above

Longer version:

Some background:

Why do I think it's important that I mention I'm in one of the wood leagues?  I think it might influence folks' responses/advice given that:

scouting information is unreliable
certain strategies/tactics which may be ineffective in the higher leagues may work in the lower league

The game in question:

A quick recap of the game (a replay can be found here - same link as above):

TvT on Vaani Research Station
I start the game planning to do the only build that I know (as I am in one of the wood leagues after all): 12 Rax / 14 Gas / 18 CC
I send out my scout SCV after barracks is complete and I notice that my opponent's ramp is partially walled off with 2 depots (i.e., no barracks).  Aside from a CC (which isn't in process of upgrading to an orbital), he has nothing else in his main.  I checked both expansions and he has nothing.  Smells like a proxy 2-rax.
To be honest, my intention behind scouting is primarily to develop multitasking ability (i.e., macro-ing while not looking at base, etc.) as I've been told time and again that it's not worth acting upon scouting information in the lower leagues given that the concept of build order often doesn't apply.  (I subscribe to the notion that having more stuff - as opposed to the right stuff - is enough to win at the lower levels.)
At the 6 minute mark, I am paid a house call by 10 or so marines.  Seeing as how (i) my army consisted of only 2 marines (the reactor just finished on my first barracks so it hasn't been producing for the last minute or so; the next two barracks are still under construction) and (ii) I don't really know how to handle such early-game situations where I'm massively outgunned, I quickly gg-ed.  (Perhaps I shouldn't have given up just yet?)

(The replay confirmed my opponent did a proxy 2-rax.  And based on the spending-stats on GG-tracker, he executed quite well.)

A few comments on the game:

My macro (as measured by spending quotient) was worse than usual in this game because I was distracted by something in the room (which is why the depot went down a few seconds late which had the typical snowball effect).  Regardless, I think my situation would have been the same even if my production cycle were 30 seconds ahead of where it ended up being (i.e., if I'd had 4-5 marines instead of only 2 marines).
Regarding building placement - my preference is to not wall against Terran because marines can attack my wall with impunity (flawed thinking?).  FWIW, I think a wall would have bought me another 10 seconds max so it doesn't seem like it would be a game-changer - but let me know if you think differently.


texts: Zone Defense Play Art Colors in Madden 12 (and previous versions)

texts: I've played Madden for a long time now and I've always wondered about the different colors when one looks at the pre-snap play art for a zone defense. There are usually blue, yellow, and magenta 'zones' and I was curious if they referred to how the defender covers the zone or of if they're just used to differentiate all the different coverage areas on the field. Thanks!

If you think about blood giving off a stench after time and also sweat. Would this attract enemy soldiers?

texts: Does walking fast prevent eggs hatching?

texts:
I have a couple of eggs that I've picked up from some Pokestops (I'm lucky enough to live above one).

I walk a lot. I get to work through a 2 mile walk / train journey every day, so I should be picking up loads of steps for the eggs I have. However, because I'm normally always running late... for everything, I have to rush everywhere, so I walk at an above average pace.

Today I've walked around 5 miles, but the game has registered 100 metres. Is this because I walk too fast, or because of something else?

It's worth pointing out that I have the app open when walking... mostly because I have to catch them all. (This made me miss a train this morning... luckily I was early :D)

texts: WoW Multiboxing, healer and dps macro not working

texts:
I began multi-boxing this week and have a hard time setting up a nice flow between my main character Discipline priest and the alt, Shadow Priest.

I wan't to contribute more to the group, currently my tactic is pretty simplistic but the result is that my dps doesn't do dmg since I can't really do two things at once.

My question is, What macro can I create that will allow my alt to select the target of my selected target. Hence, I'm healing tank by hitting key "1". This key will represent the macro on the Alt's keybindings so essentially, the alt should select my selected target and then cast an offensive spell against that target's target.

I did a bit of research and found this macro but I can't seem to get it working, all my alt does is attempt to cast and stop. (I can't remember the full macro code)

/use [harm][targettarget] Smite

I'm thinking that it's probably better to set focus on tank, while I cast healing spells on him/her the alt casts a combination of spells on the tanks target. Maybe this?

/cast [@focustargettarget] Smite

Any ideas?


texts: I've run out of money in King's Bounty: The Legend

texts:
I've played King's Bounty a lot. I'm in the "Demonic" setting now with fire and lava everywhere. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of money left. Every time I encounter enemies I lose a large amount of my own stack.

I now know that a good strategy (if not the best) would have been to invest in resurrection with a human army. Unfortunately I did not do that.

I will run out of units in about 2 or 3 fights. I don't have much cash left. What can I do?

So far I've seen two possibilities: dying a lot, then going back all the way (very long) to fight the same monsters over and over again until I defeat them. I won't – this is a game, it's supposed to be fun, and this would be a major pain.

The second possibility would be to cheat – there is a cheat that allows you to create money out of thin air. But this will make the game boring as well.

texts: How can I change a Commander or ACU upgrade?

texts:
While playing the Supreme Commander Forged Alliance campaign and after I have built an upgrade for my commander (or an ACU unit) the game appears to offer me the possibility of losing that upgrade and replacing it with a different upgrade for that part (chest or right/left arm) of the unit.

texts:
If I click on my fleet, and the right click a planet I own - they will just move there (I get no menu pop up, they just move there).  Once they have reached the planet they will go into sleep/inactive mode.

If I click to repair or upgrade my fleet, they will go get repaired/upgraded, and then they will be orbiting a planet (which costs me less energy).

Also if my fleet gets lost in space (eg. I do an emergency retreat from combat), when they re-appear around a planet they are orbiting that planet.

If I select an army in a transport ship, and then right click a planet, I get a menu with the options to enter orbit or land armies.

Basically I just want to be able to tell my fleet to orbit a planet at any time (not just when I am upgrading or repairing my fleet).

Is this possible? I am guessing I am just missing something obvious, but I cant find how to do this anywhere...

In one game I was playing, it appeared to be the case, because when I removed the academy to put in my oil rig, I kept the same amount of oil. But I might have been getting oil from the city-states, they were so in flux that I couldnt keep track of what I was getting from them all the time.


texts: I've heard a lot of rumors, like that people who were data mining in borderlands 2 found a 3rd invincible, other then Terramorphous and Vermivorous. This is the main game without dlc. Is this true and if so, how do you spawn it?

I bought a few games from the PSP store but I'd like to know if they are bound to my account or to my device.

In other words: if my PSP is gone for good, will I be able to download my games again on a new PSP?

Trying out Angry Birds from the new iMac app store.

I'm unable to activate the blue bird's power (to split into 3 birds) using my Magic trackpad.  I've tried most every gesture I could imagine with no luck.  Their help documentation doesn't appear to have been updated for this version.

How can I trigger the ability?


texts: Is it possible for me to add mannequins through the console in some way or form?  Or is there a mod that lets me place and buy them?


texts: I have gotten some items that are of the type "follower". How do I equip those items? One example of this is called "the trinket". Nothing happens when I try to right click.


texts: How long does guardian potion last, and how much damage reduction does it provide?

texts:
The item description is very vague, simply stating what it does without any specifics. I'd rather not spend 200 rupees on it if it only provides a slight reduction for less than a minute.

How much damage reduction does it provide, and how long does it last?


texts: Can't assemble the pot, it keeps breaking

texts: I can put the pot together entirely, but it still falls apart. What do I need to do to get it to stay together?


texts: I noticed that the fox picture means that you may meet your Tenko, but what about if the mission name is colour red? Does this mean that there might be a Mitama or rare spawned monsters?

I found a unicorn horn in the Desert Castle.

Anyone can give me a hint as to what I'm supposed do with it?

Are there any differences with regards to chunk generation or other settings in single-player vs server mode of equivalent versions?

I have a map I'd like to host on a private server for my friend to play with me. However, when I'm on the road without ready internet, I'd like to play it single-player as well.

Will this cause any issues, especially with chunk generation, drops, items, etc (i.e., getting a different chunk generated in server-mode than single-player would have created), or do all server-client version pairs (I'm using 1.6.2) use the same game code?

The main point is that I don't want gameplay to change at all, between single-player and server mode.

My attack in clan war is not getting counted. Most of the time, only one attack gets counted and the second one does not.

My troops are gone but I don't get any loot and still it shows 1 attack remaining.

I am using BlueStacks on my laptop to play Clash of Clans. I have experienced this problem for some days.
