There's a great question on what to do with dragon bones and scales, and there's even a question on whether you can buy them, but the question I'm after:

Question: Where can one sell those blasted Dragon Bones and Scales? Is there a list of merchants that will buy them?

Edit: I'm not looking for just a vendor, but preferably a list of vendors (as I've collected about 25 of the them). The ultimate answer would also have an indication of (approximate) amount of gold available on the merchant.

After some searching I found a list of merchants on the Skyrim Wiki, but that doesn't answer my question. The page on Dragon Bone gives a little bit of info on selling them, but no clue on where to sell them.

My follower would certainly be very thankful for any answer to this question, as she's probably getting tired of hauling this loot around...


texts: How to have two players on one keyboard in Monaco?

texts:
I've found a thread that explains how to do it. It involves simply downloading a couple of files, placing them in the appropriate folder and running the game.

However, I can't make it work on Linux. Naturally, I've adapted the instructions and placed the files at ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Monaco, but I can't get this to work.

I also have an Xbox 360 wired gamepad plugged in. I have tried setting it as Player 1 or Player 2 and keyboard as 1, 2, 3 or 4, but nothing seems to work.

Actually, I'm starting to think the thread solution is not gonna work at all because one of those files is a .dll, which AFAIK will not work on Mac or Linux.


texts: Minecraft Command Blocks: Teleport Player Even If On Horse?

texts:
When spawning on our server, the player is located on an island we've dubbed "Spawn Island" (Original name isn't it?). On this island is a series of platforms with pressure plates. Under the pressure plates are command blocks encapsulated in bedrock. The command blocks have a tp command to teleport anyone standing on the platform to their respective destinations. At the destination is a duplicate platform with the ccounterpart command block to teleport them back to the proper platform.

The system works well with one big problem we've found. If a player is riding a horse, the horse does not teleport and is left wandering around near the departing platform.

Is there a way to change the command to teleport a player as well as any horse they are riding (preferably staying on the horse if so)?

texts: Extend the fire propagation limit in Far Cry 2?

texts:
For a game that boasts the "most realistic fire" ever in a video-game (at least when it came out, not too sure about more recent developments) Far Cry 2's fire seems to die out way before a real fire would, especially in the dry savannah's of a war-torn African country. They should spread like wildfire. Literally.

Obviously this is more of a limit imposed by the (most likely) taxing propagation algorithms, and the added rendering of those high-def textures.

But is there a way to tweak the limit of fire spread? Obviously not in-game, but perhaps a config file or even a mod that increases how far a fire spreads before dying out?

texts:
Currently on Chapter 4, and while exploring around some of the abandoned houses in the West End, I found a house broken open with blood stains everywhere. On walking in, my character remarked on the blood, and a quest called "Like Father, Like Daughter" was added to my log with an accompanying 'citizen in peril' (the head with an exclamation point) icon on my map in a very out-of-the-way location - the kind that means you need to save them tonight or they're gone for good.

Looking it up, it seems the character is Louise Teasdale and she's trapped in the sewers. I really want to rescue her, but all the game guides seem to suggest I should be exploring the sewers during Chapter 5 and first encountering her then.

This leaves me with two questions: A) can I explore the West End sewers now and rescue her in Chapter 4? and B) if I can't, will progressing the game until chapter 5 without manually resting count as going to a new night (and cause her death), or can I make it to Chapter 5 and rescue her then?

I'm having some problem with the start system for a cart based on repeater and powered rails combo.
Basically I can see that they are getting power but the cart doesn't move at all, when it's parked on this end.

Any ideas how to get this schema to work ?


texts: What is the origin of the WASD key scheme?

texts:
My gaming memories go way back to the Atari 2600 with its single-button gamepad, and with computer gaming I started with the PC XT.

Back in the day, movement would be controlled by the arrows and actions with the spacebar (and secondary actions with Ctrl, Alt, Shift, etc). That was the standard for a long time; I remember playing games on my Pentium with these key bindings.

Nowadays, WASD is almost universal, and even flash games on popular gaming sites accept these keys as movement input.

What was responsible for this change? Can it be traced back to a popular game, important event, or trend that introduced and shifted the tendency from the former to the latter? Or was it just a natural process? If so, why did everyone choose the same keys?


texts:
In Spelunky, you'll occasionally pick up a Hired Hand: some are locked in coffins, or hired hands can be purchased from shopkeepers. The hired hand will follow you around, occasionally getting distracted by something shiny and wandering off to break a pot or poke a monster. They're armed with a whip, but lack a good sense of aim or timing with it.

I've never found the  hired hands to be useful; they like to break pots (occasionally releasing a monster) and wander around randomly, which attracts other monsters. They'll occasionally jump down pits that are watched over by arrow traps; while it's helpful that they'll take an arrow for the team, there are much safer ways of disarming arrow traps. They never really wander ahead of you, so the dangers they attract are the ones you decided to bypass rather than handle directly - and there's usually a good reason you bypassed them. The lives of  Hired Hands are nasty, brutish, and above all short, and they've never seen a danger they didn't love. They're armed and can jump on monsters, but as far as I've seen, they're pretty bad at combat.

How are Hired Hands best used? Do they have any good points? Are there any reliable ways to make sure they're actually useful, or at least don't actively seek out monsters and poke them in the eye? Am I just missing something important about the care and feeding of henchmen?

(Bonus questions: Is the shopkeeper who sells you a hired hand for $8000 just trying to get rid of a useless layabout? Are the companions locked in coffins because they weren't good for anything else?)

texts: Crossbow of Extra Shots (+1) Only Uses One Bolt

texts:
So, I just found a Heavy Crossbow of Extra Shots [...] (+1). When I fire it, I notice that it only uses one bolt; judging by the status messages, it seems like enemies are only being hit once.

What's up with that?

When I press shift-C, the character screen assures me that I get "Shots: 2/turn."

I'm playing as a Half-Troll Warrior; I heard that bows of extra shots are the only way to get more than one shot off at a time, but I don't seem to be getting that.

I'm not sure if it's important, but my strength is 18/160 and my dexterity is 15.

It seems to be taking a lot more kicks to finish an enemy off than using any of the common weapons found in the game.  For some enemies I wonder if it does any damage at all.

Note I'm not talking about the Stomp or dive kick, just the normal one.

texts:
So I was running Civ V perfectly fine for a while, but then it started to freeze. What happens, is it occasionally freezes, and there is nothing I can do. I can move my mouse, but that's it. I can't interact with anything in the game, all the visuals are frozen, and no keyboard shortcuts works, such as force quitting. However, the game music continues to play.

The only way for me to get out of it (and I have tried just waiting a while to see if it unfreezes) is to force shut down my computer. At the beginning, it happened scarcely, so it wasn't really a problem, I just had to remember to save frequently. But it started to happen more and more, and now it's gotten to the point where I can barely play. I'm lucky if I can take two turns without the game freezing. The only was I can play at all is to save the game every turn, and then restart when it freezes. This is very annoying as it makes playing Civ more waiting than playing, as I have o wait for my computer to restart, and then I have to wait for Civ V to load to main menu, and then I have to wait for it to load up my game. Sometimes this doesn't even work though as it will freeze before I can finish my turn. It's getting to the point where I have to save after every action.

I obviously cannot play like this for much longer, so I am asking for some help on how to fix it. As far as I know, there was no patch or anything that would cause it to no longer work. I have not recently installed any DLC the I did not have before, and I have never installed any mods. I have not made any alterations to my computer either, software or hardware. The weirdest part is how gradual it was. So please, help me figure out how to fix this.

What character/attack/strategy should I use? Is this something where you need a 4-player co-op to achieve it or something (exact timing on this would be bananas)?

Now, that post that mentions the objects folder as a possible culprit is from 4 years ago, and this didn't turn out to be the problem of the OP there, so it's a dead-end for me. I hope someone can tell me how to populate that folder properly.


texts: Downloaded Riverview twice; savegame kind of broken

texts:
When I downloaded Riverview to my installation of The Sims 3, the installation seemed to stall, so I aborted it. The second time I tried, it installed fine.

I started a game in Riverview noting that it was listed twice, played for a bit, saved and quit.

Later I had a look at the InstalledWorlds folder. It contained:

Riverview.world and
Riverview(1).world

After deleting Riverview(1).world only one Riverview is listed, but my savegame won't load anymore.
One way to fix this would be to simply rename Riverview.world to Riverview(1).world, but I'd really prefer to get my savegame to use the regular file name. Is there any way to do this?


texts:
When building structures in Minecraft I usually tend to thoroughly plan my lighting layout, with the primary focus on a seamless coverage of the whole "civilized" area in a light level of at least 8, to keep hostile mobs from spawning at night.

For this, though, the easiest way in vanilla Minecraft seems to be to employ the debug view (reached through F3), which shows both the sky light as well as the artificial block light of the block that the player's feet stand in. However, when planning the lighting layout of a more irregular structure, like a naturally generated hill, this can get rather tedious to do thoroughly.

Thus, I'd like to ask if there is an easier way to analyse the light distribution on a larger scale, without the need for manually checking the light level of each individual block surface. Preferably I'd just like to highlight all the block surfaces that are below a certain light level (effectively where monsters could spawn). And for direct and interactive lighting design it would be best for this to show it right in the running game. I'd wager (but would be happy to err on this) that this isn't possible with vanilla Minecraft but only through a mod.

(If I'm correct and this needs a mod, I'd prefer it to work in latest Minecraft (1.8.X as of now) as well as not adding a plethora of other features, as I'd prefer my normal gameplay unaltered.)

Could I have logged into a console version before installing it on PC and gotten the extra content that way? Thanks.

Are there any other differences? Less drops? Champion types unique to Hard Mode? Special bosses? Other rooms?

texts: How many weapons can I equip in A Dark Room?

texts:
I'm trying to figure out the rules governing how well I can arm myself when venturing out.  I've been experimenting using trial and error, and I think I know the following:

You're not limited by hands.  I've been able to have at least three weapons equipped at once (two different swords, plus a presumably-two-handed rifle.)
You don't seem to be able to equip two of the same item.  I brought two steel swords with me, but didn't have a second attack option, like I did when I had one steel and one iron one. (It's possible having two made the reloading twice as fast, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Can anyone confirm whether the rule is in fact this:

In any fight, you can use an unlimited number of unique weapons, but may not use more than one of any given one?

texts:
I've just found an NPC locked in a cell, and rescued him. He told me he is Knight Lautrec of Carim and he will give me a reward later. However, if I press him, he tell me:

  I'm free. Now I can get back to work...
  Keh heh heh heh...

I'm worried after hearing this line. He reminds me of Yurt, the Silent Chief in Demon's Soul that went killing other NPCs after you freed him.

Did I made a mistake when I freed him? Will he kill other NPCs? Should I kill him right now, while he is still sitting in his cell?

I'm on PC, so I do have access to the console.


texts: So due to steam requiring the mobile authenticator for trades I got it about a month ago. It's a pain but I don't trade often, just use it when I log in the steam. Recently I tried to use a Jackpot site and it said I hadn't used my authenticator for 7 days and the trade would be held for 72 hours. Which obviously doesn't work in a jackpot. However, I traded completely fine without a wait or anything a couple days ago, but the trade was through steam. Now all my trades are still held for 72 hours, in steam or out of steam. This has been frustrating me for the longest time! If anyone knows how to fix this I would love you!

texts:
In DiveKick, headshots (when your foot connects with the opponents head) are supposed to put them into a concussed state. (Limited movement/dick and kick).

However, sometimes headshots don't give the opponent a concussion (at least in my experience playing lately). Are there limits to how many consecutive rounds this can happen? Or any other prohibiting factors?


texts:
I'm trying to defeat the sailor for the Boston Brawler series of missions and it's straight up impossible. I can't even touch him. You fight on a ship and after disposing of his lackies your are left with him and he is impossible to hit. Every punch he blocks and if I block him, he blocks my counter.

I've seen on the internet the suggestion of using smoke bombs, but I can't. Apparently you can't access your weapons in the fight. I've also seen a suggestion about if you block him near a chair or table he will be damaged, but there is nothing on the ship like that and he won't follow you off the ship!

So what are you actually supposed to do here?!?

Playing on PC, console versions might have been different (I'm assuming the other suggestions work on console).


texts: What do the extra words next to players name and level mean?

texts:

It doesn't change for a person often, but will occasionally.

What do these names mean?


texts: How can I determine if a push has done enough damage?

texts:
Say I go for a timing push and my opponent goes some fast expand build.

Once I have enough units I push. Then there is a small battle, which usually does not end the game.

During this time I expand myself. So at the end we both end up with 2 expansions and some units.

But how can I determine if my push did enough damage to set him back? I want to know how to evaluate this during a game. In replays I can always check the army sizes / worker count / income and tech, but during a game I barely know my own worker count.

texts: Cs:Go Command to always allow GSI allplayers_*

texts:
I'm writing a program using CS:GO's Game State Integration and I need to receive scoreboard information about the players in my custom game. Their score, for example.
The problem is that CS:GO will only make this data available if the client is a spectator. Is there any way at all that I can enable the sending of this data seeing as I am able to run privileged commands on the server?
My last resort is getting every player to run the program and getting it to collect everything in a central database, but that would be much less convenient for everyone.

texts: How can I test my command block contraptions for multiplayer compatibiltiy?

texts:
I like making command block contraptions.  Occasionally, I make a contraption that I want to use on a multiplayer server (or offer to server operators), but I don't know of a way to test that it'll actually work.

I don't run a server that I can test on, nor do I want to have to get friends/family on this non-existent server in order to do tests and debugging.  I also don't have op privileges on another server where I could do these tests (nor would I want to since it could disrupt the server).  Finally, I only own one Minecraft account, and I'm not really interested in buying a second account just for the purposes of testing command blocks.

So given that, what's the best way for me to perform my testing and debugging?  Is there a simple (and legitimate) way for me to add one or more players that I can control to my otherwise single player command block world?

texts: Xbox "Screenshot uploaded" notification looked like a demon had possessed my Xbox, what could the reason be?

texts:
Yesterday I was testing some button remapping on my controller and saw that you could map "actions" as well, so I mapped the screenshot function to a button to test it.
I activated it, then mapped it back after seeing the notification that the screenshot had been taken, and entered a multiplayer game.
While I was playing, some time later I got a notification that looked like a demon had possessed my Xbox, telling me that the screenshot had been uploaded.
I was unable to take a photo of it because I was busy in multiplayer for quite some time and today the notification is back to normal, so the best way I can describe it is that I used an online "randomizer" to generate some text, and the notification that normally says "Screenshot uploaded to the Xbox network" looked something like this:
S̴͚̒c̴̘͚̑r̵̩͠͝ę̵̰́e̸̤͈͊ṋ̷̯͠s̶̛̱͘h̶͈̭́o̵̞̲͛t̴͔̫͗ ̸̦̑̚ṳ̵̩̿p̶̈́̚͜l̵͖̎ò̶̢̤͆à̷̢͚d̶͈̃̆ę̶͙̿d̷̫̫̿͐ ̸͕̔̀ţ̸̩̾͛o̷̙͔͊ ̴͈̿̉t̸̖͈̃h̸̤̒̈́ê̶͈̪ ̸̡̀̽X̸̠͋b̵̪̀̄o̵͚͚͝x̵̱̪͒ ̵͙̎n̷̠̓e̵̗̠̊t̸̺͙́͠ẘ̵̧̼ǫ̷̋͐r̵̼̯̽k̵͓̬̆̓
It wasn't as bad as the above example but it had lots of these weird accents on every character.
Today the message is back to normal. The Xbox has just been sleeping inbetween, no hard reset or full restart.
Does anyone know why this happened and what the reason was?
This is Xbox Series X.
OK; Scratch "nothing happened inbetween", I now see that there was a system update early this morning. While I don't know if this update fixed anything in this regard, I would assume the console did some kind of restart at the time and my game just continued from Quick Resume.


texts: How can I make a reliable and compact random timer?

texts:
I need to make a reliable random timer that powers a redstone wire and that is as small as possible. It should send about a pulse every second or half second, but obviously be slightly varied. It needs to never burn out (or fix itself when it burns out) and automatically turn on when the server starts up. I have tried to use a blink device, but I have found that those are very unreliable and are often predictable.

The reason I need to make this is so that a player cannot go up to a wire of mine that is flashing, figure out the flash pattern, and create their own timer that just links into the original and fools my original. If I had a randomly pulsing wire like the one I need, my circuit could detect when the redstone wire was messed with.

Does anyone know what it will take to get bumped up to masters? I'm just trying to figure out the system so that I can get into masters.


texts: Nintendo Pro Switch Controller - Entire controller acts as mouse (Testing in Dark Souls 3)

texts:
I can't seem to find any one else on this forum or elsewhere with the same issue I'm having, so I thought I'd ask directly.
When I load up a game (I'm testing with Dark Souls 3), my entire Nintendo Switch Pro Controller -- not the joystick -- acts as a mouse input. Waving the controller around moves the mouse around. I have fiddled with Controller Settings in Steam non-stop and can't seem to correct this behavior. In a game like Dark Souls 3 where the camera control is of paramount importance, it does render the game unplayable.
Has anyone else had this experience and found a solution?
Thanks,

texts:
Does the suppressor (silencer) attachment do anything for you in hardcore matches? I understand that it lessens the flash and sound of the gun, but compared to core games it seems a bit less useful.

For a while I thought I noticed that when you were killed by a gun with a silencer, it didn't tell you what direction the shot came from with the death camera (the camera immediately after you die; I'm not talking about the kill camera, since there's no kill camera in hardcore).

texts: What are the crown and energy costs for crafting each level of item?

texts:
I've noticed that all 1-star and 2-star items seem to require the same amount of crown and energy inputs for each creation - 10E/200C and 50E/400C respectively.

Are these costs always the same for each star level?
And if so, what are the costs associated with each star level?


texts: Is it safe to put multiple snitches and ex-cops in a dormitory?

texts:
My prison is getting quite large, and I have finally gotten past my serious issue of the "Unknown Reputation" inmates turning out to be snitches and ex-cops, by marking all that have unknown reputation as supermax and putting them on permanent lockdown in a dormitory with tapped phones. Eventually they use the phone and that almost always reveals their personality. So far, about 25-30% of the time, they turn out to be snitches, ex-cops, ex-guards, etc., that need protective custody. I started with a few PC cells (complete with all required amenities because I put them on permanent lockdown) but now I'm getting close to 20 PC inmates requiring cells, and having them all in separate cells is taking up tons of space.

To the question: Is it generally safe to put multiple snitches together in a dormitory cell? I'd make one for snitches, one for ex-cops/ex-law enforcement/ex-guards if that is the case. I've not yet seen a snitch or ex-cop be a "volatile" one, or some other attribute that would make me think they are a threat to others.

For reference, this is the PC/Supermax/Death Row section of my prison:

And in case anyone cares, this is the whole prison (some parts under construction of course.)

In what situations is Abigail most useful? How can I use her to shift enemies' attention quickly?


texts: How to craft witcher's gear before lvl ~20?

texts: How to complete [Fun for the Little Ones] with low Archaeology skill?

texts:
I'm trying to complete the quest Fun for the Little Ones in order to get the Faire Favors achievement at the Darkmoon Faire. However, I had never levelled my Archaeology up until now, except for (apparently) a few points some years ago.

So first I levelled my archeology to 75 in Shadowmoon Valley, which was required to get the quest at all. Now that I got the quest however, it turns out I need 15 "Fossil Archaeology Fragments". It seems I already have 11, but I don't know how to gather the remaining 4.

I've tried several things:

Go to Brann Bronzebeard in Pandaria to trade "Restored Artifact" for some fossil fragements. This requires a skill level of 600 though.
Similar story for the Arakoa sales guy in Stormshield, Ashran.
Read through Wowhead's Archeaology Guide.
Check for any tooltips or explanation in game for the Archeaology profession window (which tells me little to nothing).
Click around the World Map, check some of the starting zones in old Azeroth to see if there's dig sites there where I could go. (Perhaps I've overlooked it? Should there be some zone with dig sites? I do see dig sites in Shadownmoon Valley, Draenor, but no fossils pop up there.)
Read a lot of comments on various Wowhead items (e.g. Black Trilobite fossil, as well as other sites like Wowpedia and WowDB. No dice.

For what it's worth, here's what my profession looks like in game, currently:

Help me out here, how does this work? Or am I stuck, do I need to level to 600 to be able to finish this?

texts: Is it possible/reasonable to sneak solo/duo Baron?

texts:
Basically is it possible/reasonable to sneak Baron or is it too hard or too long? I have tried to search for an answer and most answers are about the old Baron. Emphasis on the sneak part, I would think of doing this extra early when nobody is thinking about Baron, fully knowing that if you get caught even by one roaming enemy you're gonna die.

I am curious, and know that probably a Baron at such an early stage isn't even worth it, but still; Free global exp and gold. I wonder if in a low ELO atmosphere such as mine it's possible to take advantage of it (warding and counter-warding cautiously of course).


texts: Loaded chunk visibly disappears when in one chunk but appears in the next?

texts: In my minecraft world I have a villager trading hall, and I can see all of it except for one chunk when I'm standing outside of it. Once I go into the chunk however, I can see the chunk again. It's not a render distance problem because I've turned it all the way up to 24 chunks and I still couldn't see just the one chunk. I've also tried F3 + A to reload the chunks and I've tried restarting minecraft but nothing seems to work. This also happens in part of the staircase down to my mine. I've included some pictures to show what's happening.


texts: How do I climb onto the top of the train?

texts:
On the first mission, just after the bad guy plants explosives on the door and decouples the other half of the train, you are left hanging on to rungs at the side of the train by just your fingertips.

At this point the game appears to prompt you to hit the spacebar, which I do, but each time the prompt turns red, indicating that I have failed in some way, and I fall back down to the bottom rung of the ladder. After about three tries you fall off and die.

Is there a knack to the timing of pressing the spacebar (the prompt appears to pulsate) or is there something really obvious I am missing?

I am planning to buy ArmA2 (since I keep hearing and reading great things about the game!), yet I'd first like to check whether it is possible for players of versions bought in different places (e.g. Steam, D2D, boxed copy) to play together, and also whether there are are any region-based limits to multiplayer games?

The best (cheapest ;)) option for buying for me it to buy it boxed here in Ukraine (it is a legal copy), but I'd like to be able to recommend it to friends and play with them, so I'd appreciate any feedback on this.

Thanks!

For any more info ask me!


texts:
I've been trying to work out how to download Minecraft worlds from the internet & upload them to my PS4. This is for casual split-screen play for my kid.

Here is an example of a map I downloaded. The map is marked as "PS4" & says:

  the showcase video below got made on the PS4 by JuicyTaz201, but the
  map can be played on both the PS3 and the PS4

I tried using this guide to upload the file to my PS4 & had no luck. At this point I started to wonder if the file I was downloading was in the correct format & or if the instructions were correct.

Downloading a saved Minecraft world from the PS4 to a USB results in the following directory/file structure:

--PS4
----SAVEDATA
------522695218d6772fa
--------CUSA00265

But the file format of the file I downloaded is very different:

From some experimenting the PS4 will upload files in the /PS4/SAVEDATA/number/hash/.bin format.

I'm guessing that either:

The file I downloaded cannot be used on PS4 Minecraft & the website I got the reference from shouldn't be trusted:
or the file needs to be converted into .bin files that can be read by the PS4. If this is the case I have no idea how to do that.

I have a PS3, PS4, Ubuntu 18.04 laptop & Windows 10 laptop so if some conversion is needed hopefully I've got the right tools.

So coming back to my questions:

What file format is used for Minecraft worlds on the PS4?
How can I tell if a downloaded Minecraft map is PS4 compatible?

And finally is it possible to make .mcworld files PS4 compatible?

As you can see, my bounty is currently 5,292 because I assaulted and murdered an innocent. To my surprised, when I walked outside, directly after the murder, none of the guards seemed to care. No one rushed to arrest me. I even tried to talk to them to see if that would trigger something and that didn't work. Why aren't the guards doing anything?

texts:
Teleportation skills like Lightning Flash, Blink, and Shadowstep* are extremely convenient and useful, however I oftentimes find myself falling victim to unspoken (or non-specific) limitations.

The known limitations are:

  Teleport
  Most skills only teleport the caster to locations normally accessible without jumping or falling. Attempts to teleport across a gap or between two elevations usually results in the caster moving to the edge of the current plateau, if the 2 platforms aren't directly connected or the walking distance is too far - in general, the teleport will work if the game can path a non-jumping route to the target location that is not too long.

Also:

  Shadowstep
  Shadowstepping allows the player to move vertically as long the position can be reached normally by moving on the ground without jumping. Trying to shadowstep up or through obstacles or across gaps will cause you to shadowstep to the edge if the target location is too far or unreachable by walking.

What exactly are the limitations?

How long is too long?

If there is a flat surface aside a ramp, how far is too far to teleport from directly beside the ramp to the top of the ramp?
Does it matter the total distance of the walkable path is or is there a radial limitation from the players position to the "turns" of the path? In other words, would a long but thin path curving above the player stop the teleportation?

Are there technical limitations?

Are there any issues with teleporting from prefabs (eg. rock formations, broken walls in WvW) to terrain like other games?
Are there locations in the game where teleport just doesn't work as an exception?

How are gaps handled?

Why can I teleport across from the ledge outside of Clock Tower in Battle of Kyhlo to the capture point and back? Does teleport work across gaps like a Mesmer Portal? Or is there a walkable path between these two points (likely not the boxes near the window since you need to jump on them to get out)?

What are the consequences of failure?

Does Lightning Flash still do damage to the selected location if the teleport is unsuccessful?
Will Shadowstep still allow the user to return to their previous location if the teleport is unsuccessful?

* Note: this question is only related to skills that work similarly to the ones mentioned. So, the limitations of Portal or Spectral Recall would probably be out of the scope.

texts: Does invincibility provide any sort of speed boost?

texts:
In all preceding Mario Kart games, using a Star to become invincible grants an increase in top speed for the duration of the effect, which is arguably more useful than the invincibility part.

In Mario Kart 8, it really doesn't feel like this is the case. It seems that invincible players move at the same speed as everyone else. This makes the item pretty worthless when it comes to attempting to pass people, since not only can you not just pass them, but you can't catch up to them to ram them.

I'd like to know whether this is the effect of coins on top speed being stronger than expected (as people who get Stars tend to have not many coins), or whether the speed boost has actually been removed (as yet another baffling design choice).


texts: What are the differences between the difficulty levels in Doom and Doom 2?

texts: I've been playing Doom and Doom 2 for a while and have grown curious if there is an official list of what changes when you increase the difficulty level. I've noticed that there are almost always more enemies, and they sometimes have increased firing rates. But are there any other differences regarding enemy hit points, enemy intelligence, item placement, enemy regeneration, etc.? What are the major differences between I'm too young to die, Hey, not too rough, Hurt me plenty, Ultra-Violence, and Nightmare! skill levels? Is the difference in overall difficulty pretty much constant between each one, or is the jump between Ultra-Violence and Nightmare! much larger than that between the lower levels?

texts: Do pikmin still "flower" when left in the dirt?

texts:
A classic Pikmin trick is leaving all your sprouts in the ground on the first day (where there is no timer) so you can start off with a batch of flower pikmin without running down the game clock. When playing Alph's first day I left a large group of red Pikmin in the ground as sprouts for at least 5 minutes. However, they never sprouted flowers; I'm pretty sure they would have at least flower buds by that time in Pikmin 1&2.

Can I still leave Pikmin in the dirt to let them flower? Is this feature just "unlocked" later on or do I need to leave them in even longer (or overnight)?

A few months ago I posted a question about the "network incompatibility error 717" issue that was plaguing some of our regular racers: How to fix "network incompatibility error 717" on GT5

This was answered (thank you Tom Wijsman) and people who followed the instructions have never had any problems since.

Recently we've had a bunch of new people start up racing and from the second week on they started encountering "error 749" problems (I am not sure the exact wording of the error but I believe it says something about network incompatibility.) I pointed them to the 717 question but the answer given doesn't seem to have fixed things for them.

Is 749 a different problem? How can they fix it?

I've also made sure to only go into grass that shakes harder than small grass, because I've read elsewhere that going into grass that shakes less harder will break the chain. If it matters I'm trying to chain a Skitty (which is one of the rarer Pokemon to encounter on Route 4), and hopefully get a shiny.

The problem is my chain keeps breaking. What can I do to prevent my chain from breaking?


texts: What games and order should I play the Metal Gear series games to better understand the story?

texts:
I've watched the entirety of MGS and only played MGS2 to completion, it was a while ago, and I can't recall the story making much sense. I played the third and fourth games for a bit but never finished them.

I do wish to "get" into the series, but it seems there are many games and most of them take place in different time and star different protagonists.

So my questions are: Which games should I play to better understand the series? Should I play only the "Solid" titles? (i.e. skip the old MSX ones, Acid, Rising) Should I play them by the series' chronology or by their release dates? Are only the numbered games important to understand the story? (i.e. skip Peace Walker/Portable Ops)

Also: Given the option, should I play Metal Gear Solid (PSX version) or the remake, The Twin Snakes? (story/continuity wise, if applicable)

Regarding cards such as Shadowstep or the Brewmasters that return a minion on the battlefield to the owner's hand (usually friendly).

I know these are good for minions with battle-crys but I'm trying to ensure that most, if not all the cards in my decks have at least 2 strategies.

Question: Could you say, place a minion with charge, attack, pick it back up with one of the mentioned cards, play it again and attack again?

I'm aware it's not the most efficient/effective strategy but I could see some potential in it.


texts: Selling my legal game. What to do about the activation part?

texts:
I've sold my Microsoft Flight Simulator X game. Its a legal game. I have the cd keys, and I've activated it and can peacefully play it.

Now that I've sold it (it still hasn't reached him yet), what do I have to do regarding the activation? How do I deactivate? Do I simply uninstall the game when I am online? Is there anything else I need to do?

  Is there a penalty for switching gear mid-combat?

I wonder is MF gear swapping still working immediately or have a cooldown after 1.0.4 patch?

I didn't found any topic about it.
