texts: In Dark Souls, do you need a slashing weapon to cut off Seath's tail?

texts:
I read on the Wikidot Dark Souls wiki that you can cut off Seath's tail by inflicting it damage equivalent to about 15% of his health.

Also, if I recall correctly, I managed to cut a gargoyle's tail using by big bad Great Club.

However, using the tactic described on the same page (have Seath blow on the great shard and use the stun time to slash his tail), I have managed to inflict very heavy damage to his tail (about a third of Seath's total health), and yet it did not cut off.

Is it possible at all to cut his tail with a non-slashing weapon?

texts: Can Sketch copy moves that was used on the previous Pokémon, and does this differ over generations?

texts:
In Gen 2, if the enemy Pokémon takes you out with a move, and you send out a Smeargle to Sketch it, i believe Sketch will fail? So Sketch has to be used by the same Pokémon the desired move was used on?
In Gen 3 this doesn't matter? As long as it was the last move used by the opponent? So let's say you're taken out by a Thunderbolt, can you then send out a Smeargle to Sketch it?
What if the opponent is inactive due to sleep or paralysis? Can you still sketch the last move they used before that?


texts: What can I do with all these items I pick up?

texts:
I haven't been playing Yakuza 3 for too long, and already I have come across a wide variety of completely unrelated and seemingly useless items.

There are of course items with very clear use, such as weapons and health increasing items, but also: A coral reef, a broken watch, a multi-purpose thumbtack, a nail made out of platinum, a squishy ball and a myriad of other nonsensical things.

Do all of these items serve some purpose? If not, can I perhaps sell them somewhere, or do something entirely different with them that I am yet unaware of?


texts: Why does some of my heroes have negative xp crystal costs?

texts: I decided to fire up my Marvel Puzzle Quest over the holidays, after not having played it for a while. After the game updated (on my PC) and I got into the game, I noticed that some of my heroes now have negative XP crystal costs to level up. Why is that? Other of the heroes are ok. New heroes recruited do not have this issue either. So what is causing this issue?

But since we lost the internet he can't access it. Is there any way we can make it to where he can? Do we possibly have to wire our computers together to do it?

He is a hulking level 124 male raptor with the coolest coloration I have seen yet. I tranqed him and tamed him. After dropping him off in the raptor stabbing cabin they got down and dirty. Fifteen minutes later and the egg is laid. I place five campfires down but nothing happened. I lost the egg and now I am frustrated. How many campfires do I need? How do I incubate this egg?


texts: Are there any other penalties for dying?

texts:

texts: Will the loot on normal server be same as on the PTR

texts:
I was stacking loot boxes to open them all when I reach 100. Some days ago I logged on the PTR. I saw that I had 40 boxes (on normal server I got 47, so the copy of the data on PTR was 2-3 days old) and knowing that it won't affect my boxes on the normal server, I opened them and I was quite disappointed. Now I read this question: Are Overwatch Loot Boxes Populated When Awarded, or When Opened?

I started wondering if it possible that the content of the loot boxes is generated at the time when the copy to PTR was made or the content is carried over from the normal server?


texts: How can I progress further when there are no stairs down?

texts:
I'm very new to Nethack, and essentially have read nothing but the list of commands I can use in game.  I've had the game randomly generate my characters for me so far as I just try to get a hang of the basics.

I know that everything in the game is randomly generated, including the map.  I always spawn in a room with stairs that go up and end the game.  Often after exploring the whole level, I find one or more staircases that go down to another level.

In my current dungeon (and one or two before it), however, there are no stairs that go down.  I have explored the entire level and there is nowhere else for me to go.  I can wander around and kill the various enemies I happen across but I don't see how to progress.

Are there secret doors or hidden staircases or something that I'm missing?  How can I continue on?

texts: How to cede coalition's allies' provinces (or offer any tribute from their pockets, really)

texts:
I was in a game where I was the coalition leader with another country, facing against another coalition whose war goal was to conquer one of my allies' provinces (which they did).
How do I force my ally to cede the province and end the war?
It seems I can only offer tribute from my own country (give my ducets, cancel my treaties, etc.) but can make no demands for my allies.
I also couldn't find a way to leave the coalition, which meant that there was no way for me to lose the war, as I couldn't offer anything the enemy coalition wanted.

texts:
I would call myself a skilled player, I can rendevous and dock in my sleep, reach every planet and plan interplanetary gravity assists. However, I've never tried career mode, just because all the contracts seem tedious.
But, I did one anyway, and I noticed that besides science (which is useless without funds) going to another planet without a contract rewarding you for going there is pretty useless and pointless.
So do I have to follow the contracts in order to succeed? Because that seems quite boring and unexciting.

So, is it possible to cancel a quest in The Secret World or are the only options to complete/replace the quest?

texts:
Sometimes you can select something like "Watch highlights" of a Dota 2 replay.

One day I made a Rampage (killed five people at once) with Techies' Remote Mines, and I thought about watching the replay using the watch highlights function. It showed some boring tower fights—I mean one guy pushing a non defended tower, for example. My Rampage (Pentakill for our LoL players) was not part of it.

How are the highlights selected by Dota 2? Does anybody know this?

texts: How do I get the Remote Electrical Charge Gadget Challenges?

texts:
I'm having some trouble with 2 of the Remote Electrical Charge Gadget Challenges (not the Combat Challenges), namely:

Use the Remote Electrical Charge to force an enemy to hit another enemy (3 required)
Use the Remote Electrical Charge to blast one armored thug into any other thug

I've already acquired this one:

Use the Remote Electrical Charge to get an armed enemy to fire his weapon and surprise at least one other nearby enemy

I wasn't in melee combat for that one, but I'm wondering if I need to be for these other two because I just can't seem to get them. I've stalked several enemies with guns from afar attempting to force one enemy to shoot another. I don't even know how I'm supposed to know whether or not an enemy has hit another or not.

Do I need to be in melee combat for these challenges and not do them from afar? Is there some trick that I am missing? Am I just unlucky?

texts: Is single resistance armor feasible for tier 3?

texts:
In Spiral Knights, since I've reached tier 2, I've noticed that I take a lot more damage from elemental and shadow attacks than I do from normal ones. After doing a little research, I've discovered that this is because damage is split into 4 types (normal,piercing,elemental,shadow), and your armor's defense is different for each one. (I used the normal cobalt set, so that gave me good normal/piercing resist, and nothing for the other types.) Now, in tier 1 everything does just normal damage, and in tier 2, everything does half normal damage. However, I'm unaware of any armor set that covers all 4 damage types on its own, and tier 3 has enemies doing pure elemental/shadow/piercing damage. So, my question is as follows.

In tier 3, is it feasible to take just one armor set (for example, the default), should you mix and match resistances (for example, having armor of elemental/piercing resist and a helmet that resists normal/shadow), OR should you have different sets of armor depending on which levels you're planning to go through?

As it is now, she has All American and Riot shotgun and tries to snipe enemies from the other side of the desert with the shotgun.

I've been playing Minecraft for years now, however I ran into a problem I haven't before: when I opened Minecraft I only had version 1.16.2 and a couple of modded versions. I remember adding some vanilla versions but I just assumed it was nothing.
I went to installation to get a new 1.8.9 (I wanted to test some old worlds), went to versions and there was only version 1.16.2 and a couple of modded versions. I went to make sure that snapshot and historical boxes were checked and they were, I closed the browser down and opened it again still happened.
I went in the .minecraft folder, saved all the important stuff, uninstalled the game and installed it again but now I can only go on Minecraft 1.16.2.
To fix this I cant get the other versions simply cause it wont let me.

texts: Do quest items despawn when the person quits the game?

texts:
While playing Sea of Theives, my friends and I saw a sloop on a nearby island, and wanted to go say "hi".

He didn't see us approach, he was on the island doing a quest. I jumped on his boat and stole the most expensive looking thing I could find, which was a named chest that contained a skull with blue crystals coming out the top. We left without sinking his ship.

My friends told me we couldn't actually sell the skull, it was purely for quest purposes. So we thought at least it would look better as a decoration on our mast for the session rather than as a completed quest for that guy.

But then the skull disappeared and we were all sad, but the empty chest remained on our boat.

We hypothesized that the guy signed out and the quest item went with him. Could that be the case?

texts: Do you still lose all progress in the "Extra Game" when you restart your 3DS?

texts:
It seems in the original NES version of Kirby's Adventure, turning off the console results in you losing all progress into the "extra" game where you play again with only 3 health (and 2 lives). On Wii Virtual Console, you could use the "save state"-ish feature to just never turn off the game. However any time the game resets would cause you to lose the "Extra Game" and forcing you to start over start all over.

Is this still the case in the 3DS version? Since there doesn't seem to be any way to "save state" like on Wii version, would I lose the "Extra Game" if I switch to another game or restart/turn-off the 3DS?

texts: How do I redirect items to fill one column of chests at a time?

texts:
I have an iron golem spawner farm. This is how it's set up:

(it extends about 30 blocks, this is just a model)
I want to redirect items to fill one column of chests at a time so that one column of chests does not get disproportionately filled, so that once the first column is full, it starts filling the second, then the third, and on and on.

How can I do this using hoppers? I've tried using water to push the items into one hopper and redirect the items from there, but it doesn't work well since the iron golems float on the water and items get burnt.
An idea I had is to make the hopper I circled in the screenshot below first check if the hopper north of it is full. If it is, then it starts filling up the hopper to the right. I'm not sure how to achieve this, though.


texts: Limit of Purified Water produced in settlements?

texts:
I got some Water Purifiers in Sanctuary, where I go very unfrequently. But always when I arrive there, the amound of Purified Water is around 26 or so. Is this amount capped (like the amount of bottlecaps produced)? Or is this number tied to how many Water Purifiers you actually have? I have 2-4 purifiers and get around 26 (on returning). If I put 100 there, will I get 500+?

Some reddit posts I found claim that Purified Water is unlimitedly produced (cannot agree). Others note that this might have been fixed.

texts: How do you advance through mercenary tiers in AC:Odyssey?

texts:
I've been playing AC Odyssey for a while now, and haven't figured out the trick to advancing through the mercenary tiers.  For example, my position/rank is in the middle of a tier, so I mark the first mercenary in the next (lower numbered) tier. I track them down and defeat them, only to have my tier unchanged.  The defeated mercenary now appears in my same tier, to my immediate left (in a lower-rank position).
This has happened several times. Eventually, I defeat a mercenary and my tier advances (lowers). I haven't paid attention to what might have been special that advanced me. What am I missing?

texts:
I was not able to finish instances of the Bandit Slaughter quest I was playing because an enemy is in a place where it can't be killed. It must be stuck as it appears to be not moving. The enemy is not visible to me, so I can't target a sniper rifle or rocket launcher at it. It is detected in the minimap though, and seems to be outside of the arena, as per this screenshot:

If this enemy isn't killed I can't advance to the next wave.

If this happens, aside from save and quitting to reset the quest, is there another way to finish this quest? Is there a weapon or item that I can use to kill this enemy or make him come near me?


texts: Does adrenaline cause the in-game clock to slow down in Alien Swarm?

texts:
I'm currently gunning for the speed-run achievements in Alien Swarm, and as a result every second counts for the level completion time. It occured to me that it might be helpful to get through the hacking sections as fast as possible if one activated adrenaline immediately before starting the hack; however, this would only be useful for the level time if adrenaline slowed down the clock counting the level completion time as well as everthing else.

Can anyone confirm that adrenaline slows down the level completion time clock, or is this idea pretty much useless?

Along with disabling a few of the included options inside it, which I ended up returning them to the original values since it didn't work.

I am using Proton 3.16-9beta, because the game would not start at all after clicking Play with Proton 4.2.

I am willing to provide more details, logs, etc. Just give me the terminal command to do so, or however. Any help is appreciated! :)

texts: How do I reverse a permanent health buff?

texts:
So I've been playing Skyrim on the Xbox 360 and loving it (it's my first Elder Scrolls game). A while back I noticed that my maximum health was 119 points higher than it should have been. After removing all armor, blessings, and guardian stones, my health was still 119 points higher than normal.

After some research I found that this was a glitch. Apparently, if you use potions that increase your maximum HP by x amount for y seconds, your health will be permanently increased if you take enough damage such that your health is critically low at the instant that the buff wears off. I remembered fighting a bunch of mages a while back, running out of regular potions, and popping a Sleeping Tree Sap, while the mages continued to obliterate me. When the sap wore off, my health was critical, and my health glitched.

I was able to reproduce this in a controlled environment. All you need are some of those potions and a way to drain your health (I like to use the Alteration school spell Equilibrium). I can drink one of those fortify health potions, then drain my health until I am in critical condition, then keep it critical; when the potion wears off, my health is permanently increased.

I figured this information may be helpful to people who wanted to increase health without wasting a level-up on it. I've tried this with Magicka and Stamina but it didn't work.

Problem is, I really want to figure out how to reverse it. Ever since my health was artificially increased by 100 points, the game is way too easy, even on Master difficulty. After researching online, the only solutions I've found was to use console commands but, again, I'm playing on Xbox 360 so I can't manually just go in and reset my health and I thought repeating the glitch might reverse it but it didn't.

Is there any way I can get my health to revert back to normal? I really don't want to start a new character as I have 120 hours invested in this save file. I didn't notice that my game glitched until hours after it happened so I can't go back to a previous save file.

Any help would be appreciated.

texts: How does the Explosive M+ affix work in World of Warcraft in relation to 'AoE spells'?

texts:
Looking at the Mythic Plus affixes this week, there are

TYRANNICAL BOLSTERING EXPLOSIVE INFESTED

The explosive affix is stated to be:

Creatures have a chance to summon an Explosive Orb at a nearby location that will explode, inflicting damage 50% of the player’s maximum health as damage.
Note: An explosive orb will spawn with a 6 second cast. If the cast goes off the entire party will take 50% of their max hp in damage. They are AOE immune so you can't cleave them down! They can also spawn on boss fights.

The note mentions that they are AoE immune and cannot be cleaved down. Which spells count as AoE? Would a spell such as Chain Lightning be considered AoE?

texts: How can I deal with repeat teamkillers in BFBC2 Hardcore mode on PS3?

texts:
I've experienced that killing people in the own team becomes more and more common. Sometimes it's because they want to have the vehicle you're taking, sometimes I guess just for fun (I've even seen someone named "Teamkiller...") or as a revenge for being (possibly unintentionally) team-killed.

This is no fun at all and can turn the whole game around.

Losing a few points and having team kills in your record doesn't seem to scare many people off. For example, experienced players can easily compensate for -100 points for shooting a team mate before entering a helicopter, by then taking that helicopter and destroying tanks.

How can I remove teamkillers that are ruining a game from Battlefield Bad Company 2 Hardcore games?  How can I keep them from coming back?

texts: Why use stronger less accurate Pokémon attacks?

texts:
This battle I had prompted this question.

In the above battle, Fire Blast missed. Twice. A simple Flamethrower would have ended the battle much sooner.

               +-------+----------+------------------+
               | Power | Accuracy | "Average" output |
+--------------+-------+----------+------------------+
| Flamethrower |  90   |    100%  |     92.8125      |
+--------------+-------+----------+------------------+
| Fire Blast   | 110   |     85%  |     96.421875    |
+--------------+-------+----------+------------------+

Factoring in that accuracy, your average output is barely 3.5 Base Power higher than that of Flamethrower, and Flamethrower isn't prone to sudden bursts of luck.

(Personally I use Flame Burst - you lose 10BP for it, but the ability to hit the other opponent for 1/16th of their HP, bypassing everything from Substitute to Protect is pretty sweet. Can't tell you how many times I've splashed out a Pokémon that Protected! Great for breaking Focus Sash too!)

I also calculated Heat Wave, factoring in hitting two targets your average overall Base Power expectancy on that move is 66-ish per target, so 132 overall. Not bad!

So, why do people use Fire Blast and related moves? Is that little bit of extra power really worth it? Overall, how likely is Fire Blast to one-shot something that Flamethrower would two-shot?

What is the point of it? It didn't give me the option to interact with it, yet it glows like any other object in the world you can interact with (the white shimmer is visible on the left side of the nest, it was difficult to capture a screenshot of it completely).

The nest can be found in the lower portion of the map. It was past a waterfall that you walk under. I've included a screenshot of the exact location on the world map below:

Also, setting the nest on fire did nothing, which is why it looks burnt in the picture, and the nest was empty when I found it.


texts: How to recover against Snake as a heavyweight character?

texts:
Context: My GSP ranking in elite matches is currently around 4.000.000, which I think is pretty good at the time I posted this, although it's hard to tell where you are ranked with this weird inverse ranking system. Most of the people I fight I'd say are pretty good, but recently, I had a lot of trouble fighting against a specific character: Snake.

I play a lot of heavyweight characters, my main trio usually being Incineroar, Ganondorf or Piranha Plant. As you can imagine, especially with Incineroar and Ganondorf, I have a hard time fighting Snake players with their bajillion projectiles. That's fine. But in some cases, it seems winning against Snake players is actually impossible, especially when you have to recover.

Incineroar and Ganondorf's recoveries suck to begin with, but it's especially infuriating playing against Snake. Usually, I manage to find a way to avoid an edgeguard, but recovering against a good Snake player seems impossible. He'd either:

keep spamming up smashes while I'm hanging onto the ledge, meaning I can't ledgejump (get hit by mortar), stand up (get hit by mortar) or attack (get hit by mortar). If I choose to roll behind him, he has enough time to turn around and do his insanely overpovered up tilt to potentially kill me.
he'd use his Side B... like... seriously, how are you supposed to dodge the damn thing? It moves so slowly and can't be destroyed without exploding, and he has full control over it! And he can just always make it drop out of the sky and resume whatever he wanted to do.

Am I missing something? Am I forever doomed to lose as a heavyweight player against Snake players?

texts: How can I earn a bunch of arrowheads quickly in Psychonauts?

texts:
I've finished Lungfishopolis, blown my stash of arrowheads on the magnet-thing and a couple of psy cores, and just started the Milkman Conspiracy.

And now I'm suddenly shown a warning that says "You should have the Cobweb thing, or you won't get far in the Milkman Conspiracy." It costs 800 arrowheads. I just spent all of my arrowheads. I am sad. (And I've tried doing the Milkman Conspiracy anyway. I can do some stuff, but I need some particular items to get further in the game. Those items are, as far as I can tell, behind the cobwebs that block off some of the houses.)

I've already bought the dowsing rod and dug up about a half-dozen deep arrowheads, so that source of easy money is already partly depleted.  Is there any other way to make 800 arrowheads in a relative hurry? I'm not particularly fond of grinding; I've only earned a cumulative total of around 500 arrowheads so far.

texts: How can I disable battle cycling of other civs in Civilization 5?

texts: This question has nothing to do with the actual "animations." It more has to do with the camera pan during battle. In a multiplayer game, I'm stuck watching my friend's battles. If during that sequence I click to do something for my turn, the camera immediately jumps back over to another battle. Likewise if we are both doing battle, the camera jumps back and forth while we are completing our own battles. In order to avoid, I have to just wait for them to be done before I make my moves. It's a very frustrating experience.

texts: What are the advantages of grouping/teamfighting in League of Legends?

texts:
I'm coming from Dota 2 background, and all I can see is that teamfighting seems to be ridiculously risky. If you win the fight it's great but if you lose it's pretty much over because there's no-one left to defend and because the buildings in League die so much quicker than in Dota when your team is all dead you'll lose so quickly.

I'd say a lost teamfight isn't that bad pre 25 second death timers in League but as soon as it gets longer than that you may as well just spread out over the map because even if the enemy gets a pick off on one or two of you it's better than the entire team and meanwhile the rest of your allies will be getting farm.

texts: What happens to Awakening Values after transferring Pokémon into Home?

texts:
Pokémon Let’s Go has Awakening Values (AVs), which was this games version of Effort Values (EVs). AVs worked similar in nature to EVs, but worked differently as to how to obtain them and had different maximum thresholds.

I have a few Pokémon in Let’s Go that I put a lot of time into increasing their AVs through the use of candy, and maxed out their stats. If I were to move these Pokémon into Pokémon Home, and then move them into Pokémon Sword, what would happen to the AVs?

Would the AVs completely go away and the Pokémon’s EVs are set to 0, or would the AVs be somehow translated into the EV equivalent?

texts: How does a 'Warlord' turn into a 'Duke of Ork'? How do I prevent it from turning into one?

texts:
I've been fighting against an enemy identified as a 'Warlord'. While fighting him, I noticed that he turns into a 'Duke of Ork'. He also appeared to deal and absorb more damage as a Duke of Ork:

This is in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM).

My questions:

What types of enemies turn into a Duke of Ork? Also, do they revert back?
How does a Warlord turn into a Duke of Ork?
What changes when a Warlord turns into a Duke of Ork? (Any new attacks, behavior changes, etc?)
Any tips or strategies on how to prevent a Warlord from turning into a Duke of Ork? In UVHM, my Psycho character can't seem to prevent it from leveling up even though I keep shooting it with my shotgun or ranged Buzz Axe Rampage.
Any tips or strategies on fighting a Duke of Ork? (If I'm unable to prevent a Warlord from turning into a Duke of Ork)

Any characters that are better than others at killing one?
Are they more susceptible to one kind of elemental damage more than another?

texts: Weapon Models in Overwatch Dissapearing at Start of Game

texts:
When I first join a game in Overwatch my weapon seems to be invisible. In addition, for the first few seconds my character and my teammates are invisible too. The problem usually fixes itself around 20 seconds in, but it gets very annoying when I join a game that is in-progress; my teammates are invisible, the enemy is invisible and I end up dying the moment I run out of the spawn room.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?


texts: Secure the High Kingdom of the North Sea: What does "England must be departitioned" mean?

The Danelaw currently has De Jure Counties, and England must be departitioned first

I am currently King of Norway, Denmark, and England as well, trying to hold it for 30 years. Now I realize I also have to fullfill that requirement and I have no clue what it entails.
What does departitioning England mean? (The Danelaw already exists. I am fighting with them for the North Sea Heartlands as well.)


texts: Is there a way to reset my Arena chain without actually losing a battle?

texts:
In Tier 18, things are pretty heated in the Arena. Only the top 40% of players advance to Tier 19, while the bottom 60% are put back into Tier 17. The only way to actually advance, it seems, is to choose Advanced difficulty for all 7 battles and win them without losing a single unit. This week, I decided to ensure I'd move up, but I had a really bad habit of losing a single unit on my 5th or 6th consecutive map, which meant that streak was worthless to continue, despite winning these battles.

However, I couldn't find any options to forfeit that streak to simply start over. The only way I have found to reset my streak is by surrendering (or actually losing) to an Arena opponent, which benefits the player I forfeit to. Is there a way to reset my win streak without actually losing to another player's team (and therefore benefitting them)?

It's worth mentioning that if you surrender before choosing a battle but after redeeming a dueling crest, the game itself tells you that this will not make you lose your win streak.


texts:
Several times I've been in a squad with no one marked as squad leader, i.e., there's no star next to the name at the top of the squad list.  According to previous questions (one, two, three) the SL should be assigned automatically.

At first I assumed this was a server setting. But today I saw it happen inconsistently: on the same server and map, at one point there was no leader, and at another point there was.

Does anyone know what's happening? My theories:

Display glitch. The top person actually is the SL but just doesn't appear that way. However, I'm 95% sure I was in this situation once when I was at the top of the squad list, and yet I was unable to set objectives.
Server setting. There's server setting I don't understand, for example, a delay in appointing the SL.
Volunteer leaders. There's some way for people to request assignment as a SL. I wish this were true, but previous questions suggest it's not.

texts: Does weapon speed affect animation speed?

texts:
I recently upgraded from a Dagger to a Javelin on my monk - and suddenly, it feels like it takes a lot longer to use my abilities.

I checked, and found that the Dagger has 1.5 attacks per second compared to the Javelin's 1.2 -- does this actually effect the animation time of the abilities? Abilities already base damage off of weapon DPS (instead of Max/Min damage), presumably to normalize the difference between fast and slow weapons.

But if faster weapons yield faster animations, they're clearly superior, even with slightly inferior DPS.

Does weapon speed actually effect this? (In my case, neither weapon is enchanted)

texts: What can you do with planets that have a Stone Age Primitives modifier?

texts:
I have two pre-sentient species inside my territory, but they do not show up in the species screen, rendering me unable to uplift them. I have previously successfully uplifted a species (which went on to become an absolute majority in my empire, if you count all the genetic variations as a single species). I did disallow Native Enlightenment at one point to appease a bunch of xenophobic spiritualists, but allowing it again still doesn't get pre-sentients to appear on the list, even after waiting 10 years.

I don't remember if pre-sentients are supposed to appear as pops on the planet's Surface screen, but the two planets with the Stone Age Primitives modifier in my empire have no pops on them, perhaps they've been wiped out somehow, but the game failed to remove the planet modifier?

Update: I just found a pre-sentient population on a planet without a Stone Age Primitives modifier, whom I was able to uplift; that makes me think these are two separate systems, however I can not build an observation outpost on planets with that modifier, which you can do with sentient pre-FTL species. What can you do with those primitives?


texts: How do +Dodge skills and passives stack in Diablo 3?

texts:
I have a Monk with 25% dodge if I use nothing by my Dex score. If I add a passive that gives +15% dodge, the final dodge chance only increases to 36.2; with Mantra of Evasion active (which gives another +15% dodge) the final dodge change increases to 45.8%; if Mantra of Evasion is within three seconds of being cast, than it offers another +15% which gives a final dodge change of 53.9%.

Obviously, these are not additive percentages but I am having trouble figuring out the formula involved. What is actually happening to my Dodge Change when I gain +15% Dodge? If it helps, my Monk is level 56 and currently in Hell.

There's also an option for protecting messages, how does this work, I noticed that some of my messages dissapeared from my written messages list for a certain amount of time. My guess is that protecting a message will stop them from dissapearing. Though this is just my guess, can anyone verify this?


texts:
Situation:

It's been a few months since I've last played so I'm a bit rusty
I remember my favorite strategy was a resource boom (made easy by Portugal's free Covered Wagons increasing Settler output).
I put some minor thought into my prior strategies and I feel the best strategy would be for me to add a bit of improved turtle tactics to my boom strategy since my largest problem was getting attacked before having troops.

I understand the nature of a boom-strategy therefore I'm not here asking how to prevent getting rushed, I know some tactics on that but inevitably the only acceptable way is spam walls or build troops.

I specifically play Portuguese but I'm open to any tips.

Question:

How do you defend/turtle against a well-done enemy artillery spam?

Attempted Strategies:

I've tried lining the inside of my walls with my own artillery. This either ends in my artillery getting shot instead of the walls or the enemy shooting walls at max range and then going for my artillery.
Lining my walls with a mix of troops which unsurprisingly yields similar results.
Sent troops out and attacked. This seems to work about 50% of the time, the bad 50% ends with another anti-(insert my troop-type here) force picking them off as I attack.

Obviously a decent portion of this is failure to micromanage but ignoring that portion are there any decent strategies that would help me promote my Boom/Turtle strategy? (Allow me to defend my base with the combination of Walls, Outposts, and a small troop force? I do my best to keep my build HP upgrades coming while keeping my troops strong too, but obviously until late-game (where I destroy everything) I am primarily focused on economy boosting.


texts: How to delete ender dragon in unloaded chunks - overworld

texts:
This is a problem I've had in my creative world.
Recently, I was stupid enough to teleport myself to somewhere about 100k blocks from spawn in the overworld and try to kill the ender dragon.
It didn't turn out well because it quickly flew away faster than I could kill it.
It turned out that it flew into unloaded chunks and I couldn't chase after it.
I know ender dragons can fly to spawn in the overworld, and I have tried /kill @e[type=Minecraft:ender_dragon], however, it hasn't worked.
I am scared that it will travel to spawn, and destroy my builds.
However, even if it doesn't as it is in unloaded chunks, I would like to remove it from my world.
I roughly know the coordinates where it flew to but I don't know exactly. If possible, I would prefer to not fly out and find it again.
It may have already despawned but I'm not too sure.
Any help to remove it would be greatly appreciated! :D

texts: At level 60, when does Seize the Initiative outperform The Guardian's Path?

texts:
I am interested in the breakpoint at which the bonus armor from Seize the Initiative will outperform The Guardian's Path 15% dodge bonus, at maximum level. This is so I can choose the best defensive passive for reducing incoming damage in situations where I can only pick one of them.

I am aware that dodge is more random than armor, and can lead to damage spikes or lulls, but I'm really just concerned with the average expected damage reduction.

At what amount of Dexterity/Armor does Seize the Initiative offer more damage reduction than The Guardian's Path?


texts: Diablo 3 and Torment difficulty levels, "New legendary items become available at level 70"?

texts: How many ions a day keep the rebels away?

texts:
Some say you cannot teach new tricks to an old dog. I found that decapitation is the best way to ensure the error of mistaking a mantis for a dog never happens again.

Anyway, I went to kick some Rebels' asses today with the Vortex for the first time. Sadly, there wasn't much kicking going on without a crew. New crew members were of the greenish brittle kind or engi. As tempting as it was, buying a trusty teleporter made no sense. You ain't winning no fight with light bulbs and plumbers my dear!

I embraced the nature of the ship instead, with a final setup looking like this:

ion weapons:

Heavy Ion
Ion Blast I
Ion Blast II

drones:

Combat II
Defense II
Anti-Combat

To my surprise it worked1. However, I often could not decide what ion weapon to use against what system of an enemy ship at what moment. I mostly just pointed them all at the shields to keep them down and let the combat drone do the work. This worked even against those wimps hiding behind 4 layers of blue protection.

Is there a proven strategy to orchestrate multiple ion weapons for maximum efficiency? That is like a laser can lower shields to allow a beam weapon to go threw and deal more damage. Could I have disabled additional systems while keeping the shields down by aiming one ion weapon at that system occasionally?

In theory, reducing a system with ion damage should take more ion damage than keeping it low, freeing ion damage resources for other ion damaging tasks. Being able to ion damage additional systems appears to be advantageous.

My unit of choice is 'throats per minute', so I'm not exactly sure what to look for when optimising ion damage efficiency, here are the specs:

        energy req     ion damage    recharge [s]     damage/time
heavy       2               2           13               0.154
blast I     1               1            8               0.125
blast II    3               1            4               0.25

The blast II clearly wins on ion damage / time, but it also requires a lot of energy. Dealing 2 ion damage at once is great, but missing a shot that took 13s to charge is very unfortunate.

Is this just a numbers game or is there more to it than ion damage / time?

On a recent raid of a slug ship, I found this related information:

  Additional ion effects will both reset the timer and add to the ion counter, allowing an ion barrage to completely disable a 4x Shield.

If the hit of an ion projectile not only adds to the ion count, but also resets any decrease of existing ion damage, then I wonder if I'm right in thinking that not only dealing the most ion damage / time is important, but doing so with the most ion projectiles / time has a certain importance, too?
After all a well scheduled impact of an ion projectile at 0.00001 resets to 1 and thus "adds" almost one full ion damage.

Could any of my dear fellow federation allies shed some light on this please?

1but barely, "working" as in The burning, heavily damaged ship managed to beat the flagship with its last almost dead zoltan, barricading himself in the room of the doorsystem that he frantically tried to repair, protecting him from the intruders to gain some time the combat drone needed to finish off the mothership.
