I slapped on my Boots of the Bay and nuked some bloodsail pirates. By using mana shield (expires after 1 minute) as a timer, I observed the following:
looted immediately, despawned after 3rd cast (2 minutes)
looted after 1 minute, despawned after 4rd cast (3 minutes - 2 minutes after looting)

I've finished the primary plot quest. Not only that, but I've finished the quest achievements for every zone, so while I may have missed a simple breadcrumb sidequest somewhere along the line, I'm pretty sure I've completed 'every' quest in the game to date.
At this point, my primary objective i...
I heard you cant use teleports after a certain wildernes level and i would like to know after which one that happens.
And is that level different for various teleport options ?
@Fluttershy I'm going to have to agree with @fbueckert. According to Google Maps, it would take you a mere 10.5 hours to get to Charlotte, NC. Me, it would take 6 hours on a plane (including a layover in Toronto) to get me to Winnipeg. You've got it easy :P
@StrixVaria Actually, the NS roads are the easy part. I can average well over 100km/h. It's everything beyond Fredericton (or through Maine) that's the problem.
In DayZ, I've run into a problem. That problem is finding more weapons than I know what to do with.
Luckily, I also managed to find a nice 24-slot backpack! I know I can put bandages and various other supplies in said backpack, but that doesn't help me carry more weapons, as my arms are in short...
@MBraedley Did you want to try TSW though? I will only be playing it for atleast 2-4 hrs to try it out, not sure if I want to focus on that for 2 days and ignore other games
When playing (most often as melee) you'll often come across situations where when attacked your character will go through a "hit" animation, and cry out. When you do this all your attacks (normal or special) are interrupted for a short time, however if you are surrounded by enemies, as you often...
I have a dual boot system consisting of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. Using the wine package on Ubuntu Software Centre, I installed Steam. Using the following command gives me an error

I am currently just before the Spacewalk part of Mothship Zeta and about 2k short of leveling up. I have 10 intelligence and 70 Science.
I need 75 science to hack Underwood's Safe and get the MPLX novasurge.
Is there any way I can buff my science by 5 points? I'm on PS3 so I can't use the conso...
I was just looking at that internet map thing and I noticed something disturbing: lemonparty (don't look at it) is very close to SO. Closer than to any other not-tiny site
@GnomeSlice That bassline thing kind of blends into itself too much and it's too dissonant from the staccato higher pitched thing in the first half. The parts just aren't coherent with each other. I can't really tell pitches by ear but it sounds like things may not even be in the same key as each other.
I also just don't like the sound of that patch (or whatever the word is for "instrument" in electronica) that you're using for the bassline, but that's just preference.
@GnomeSlice Yeah, I'm absolutely terrible at composing music. I've taken piano lessons for ~15 years and played some pretty crazy stuff, but tell me to make something up and I can't even pretend I know what I'm doing.
Hi there I wondering if anyone knows of any alternatives to the Tekkit pack for Minecraft. I have been using Tekkit for a little while now and I am having small issues with it as the move forward. Mainly issues with mods not working and not being able to find some kind of documentation on the con...
I can sightread piano if I go very slowly, and I have the ear for it apparently but I don't practice enough because I dont like the repetition. But I cant make anything original to save my life.
There are a few Beethoven Sonatas I just sat down and was like "meh I'm playing this one today" and did it pretty passably without ever having played it before.
It helped that I knew how it went, though.
I cannot play anything by ear. If I don't have sheet music, I will never be able to play it.
@GnomeSlice I had the same teacher for the first ~13 years of my ~15 years, and when I went to the second teacher he was astonished at my good technique. I guess the first teacher was pretty good.
@LessPop_MoreFizz Don't listen to the vioces! You will start eating cookies! :P You said in your other question (fastest AP route) that you grind lairs/subzones for gear. Do you know what the fastest gear farm route is or would that be worthy of another question?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh I should start reading. No I mean gear (ql10 epix). Because the PvP grind seems rather dull after some time. How do you mean "suited to your build"? Do they drop the same all the time?
Polaris, Darkness War, Ankh, Facility, Slaughterhouse, and the three Hell instances.
the ones that are pre-Transylvania (Polaris, Darkness War, Ankh, and the first two hell instances), have an Elite Mode, which is tuned for QL 9-10 players and drops QL10 blues.
The Transylvania instances are only availiable on Elite difficulty, there is no 'normal'. They are also tuned for ql9-10 and drop ql 10 blues.
Once you've completed all 8 on Elite difficulty, you unlock the Gatekeeper quest. Defeat the Gatekeeper, and you can run Nightmare modes, which are a substantially harder difficulty, with a daily lockout.
There are, at present, only 5 nightmare mode dungeons, however, as of tomorrow, I believe they're adding one or two more in the 1.1 update.
There's an achievement called Speedhax that requires that you run across the Dacian Span in under 30 seconds.
Using the max rank of Sprint, I clocked myself at about 45 seconds to cross the span.
What abilities or items do I need to achieve a 33% increase in my time across the bridge?
I was wondering if Nocturne used his ultimate while Twisted fates ulti was up(but he hadn't teleported yet) if he would lose vision? And the same with Nocturne.
What are the critical differences between the various releases of Cave Story (PC, WiiWare, DSiWare, 3DS)? In particular, I already have a copy (of Cave Story+) on Steam from the Humble Indie Bundle 4, but the 3DS release sounds like the most intriguing—is the 3DS remake worth the $30 if I already...
Distant worlds currently has two expansion packs:
Distant worlds - Return of the Shakturi
Distant worlds - Legends
There are currently no questions about the base game, and a limited number about each of the expansion sets. As a result these expansion sets have their own tag, but there is no...
I'm planning on formatting my hard drive and deal with all the hassle that comes with it. My one concern is, where is the saved game file for DayZ? Will I be able to transfer it to my fresh new install of Windows, or will I have to start a new character?
I'm normally not a fan of melee in mmo, but that's because in MMOs it's normally just stand there. swing sword. be healed. But melee in GW2 is actually -really- good. You need to move, dodge, et cetera... you know, actually think about what you're doing. So I'd like to have a melee and ranged character, plus the guardian is a -lot- of fun and I'd love to do the support/healing/control it offers.
@RonanForman Woo! Also it seems like you have to rightclick on a room name before you can send text to it now, which is kind of unintuitive and confusing. Is there anywhere to change that?
didn't feel like my abilities had a real impact in pvp in GW2, felt mostly like a zerg fest, and when finally had some one on one it was a question of who got back up first
