I am interested to know what was the first instance of a game making use of an artifically induced goal setting with some measure that does not affect gameplay, to create user interaction beyond what is normally required for game completion? Wikipedia informs me that it's Halo2, but there could ...

Achievements such as "Slice of life" and "Chestmaster 2000" require that you interact with a certain number of interactive objects. These objects appear to all players in co-op, and seem to benefit all players when any one player interacts with them. So - when another player in my party interac...

I'm playing as a Demon Hunter, mostly solo'ing to this point. I just acquired a Templar as the NPC in my party and have a choice of a first skill. The choices are Ability either to heal me or the templar himself Taunt whenever I'm low on health. Which is the better ability of the two given ...

IMDb lists some of the voice actors and their parts—including the very recognizable Wizard Princess Azula and Malcolm Reed the Templar—but only has the Wizards, and female Demon Hunter and Witch Doctor actors. Who did the voice acting for each of the 10 player characters and 3 follow...

Sweeping Wind seems like a pretty amazing skill. It does a nice amount of AoE and is potentially persistent if you can keep hitting foes. I want to ensure it stays persistent at max stacks as much as possible. By default it: Reaches 10 yards Lasts 6 seconds between melee hits Has a small c...

I am new with Diablo III. I already know that not only do foes gain more strength from the size of party, but the player will gain more exp. My question: How does it calculate the exp a player in party will gain? Does it depend on player deal damage to foe, support type, or anything else?

On my server, I have a pretty decent sized area that I want to protect from Towny towns. Would WorldGuard work for this? Is there even such a plug-in that will do this? Thanks.

In the secret Cow level of Diablo 2, if you don't kill the Cow King, you can go back as many times as you want by creating the portal in a new game of that difficulty. Can you access/farm the secret level in Diablo 3 more than once per difficulty?

When i got to Lothering and attacked the bandits in the quest "Bandits on the Road" one of the options was "Come fight for me, I could use some soldiers" however this is not mentioned on the wiki. What do you gain from this option, as appose to killing them or letting them go?

Dexterity increases the chance to dodge, and as a Monk I also have a mantra available that also increases the dodge chance. I'm wondering how useful a high dodge value actually is and if I should take this mantra over other ones. How exactly does dodge work? Is it simply an x% chance to dodge an...

I've ben a werewolf! But now I wanna be a vampire how do I cure lycanthrapy? And become a vampire?

I am playing monk and I would like to evaluate a dodge build but I have a doubt. Probably 100% dodge cannot be reached and it should be a cap somewhere. I searched through different forums and there are really different opinions that goes from 50% to 85%. I would like to know a more precise valu...

When I open the forge dialog, I can see various item categories, and I can click the "fold" button (highlighted below) to hide and un-hide them: This is incredibly useful, since that list does tend to get long and when I play a Demon Hunter I don't care about melee weapnos, when I play a Monk ...

While wondering the Southern Highlands in act 1, I'm occasionally encountering a "goatman drum" item: I've also seen Goatmen actually walk up to it and start drumming, though I couldn't quite understand what the effect, if any, was. What does it do?

The skill description of Exploding Palm reads: Cause a target to Bleed for 220% weapon damage as Physical over 3 seconds. The description of its Impending Doom rune reads: Increases the duration of the Bleed effect to deal 220% weapon damage as Physical over 6 seconds. Does this means...

In similar way to Dodge also Critical Strike has a certain %X chance to occur. Can I ever reach a 100% critical strike or is there a maximum limit that cannot break? If yes, do you know which this value with a good approximation?

When I have a follower and there's a location-based trap trigger on the ground (e.g. tripwires that activate a springing spiked log), do my followers trigger the trap if they pass over the trigger, or does it have to be the hero that walks over it?

There are some skills that cause a Snare effect to enemies. It seems they move slower for a certain time; do you know the exact percentage of movement reduction? Does Snare causes other effect other than slowing? And last one, are all Snare effect equals?

In Diablo 2 you could view your follower's stats by pressing "o". Is there a similar shortcut in Diablo 3?

A while back I played Planetside for a time. I remember sometimes not being able to get to a particular continent because the number of players on it was too high. How many players were allowed on a continent at once? Was it an overall cap, or a cap of players per faction (e.g. to keep battles m...

The randomly-found Fortune shrine "greatly" increases the change to find magic items and gold: What does this "greatly" actually mean? What are the precise effects? And does it depend on character level / difficulty / anything else?

I currently have no gold (just went shopping in the auction house... bought me some fancy and expensive weapon), but want to remove a gem from an item since I want to use it in another item. I'm too scared to try it (it's a flawless gem and I don't want to lose it), so I'll ask: If you salvage ...

There are die which the player slides and then combines: some are blue, some are red, each has a particular figure written on one face. Sometimes the combination gives a sum, sometimes a difference, and the resulting dice is of one of the two possible die colors. I don't understand the rules of ...

If I activate two shrines in quick succession, do I get the full effects of both for their respective durations, or does the last shrine buff supplant all previous shrine effects?

I am using a levelone wbr-6800 3g router and a 3g dongle. I am trying to get an open NAT with Mordern Warfare 3 on a ps3. Basically these are the results i get when pinging a server in CA --http://www.speedtest.net/result/1955928480.png my problem is supposed to be solved by this --http://co...

So far I've noticed a shrine that offers a speed increase, gold find and magic find increase, and damage reduction. What are the other types and their effects?

I'm currently in the middle of Act III with my monk and spend a lot of my time not hitting the enemy because I'm too busy being knocked into the air by my enemies. They seem to have a very high chance to cause the knockback effect any time they hit me, which is pretty annoying. What factors affe...

In Diablo 3 you can rune each skill once you get to an appropriate level. I notice that quite often the first rune you learn is "improved damage". Is there any benefit in not runing a skill, or should you always have some rune applied if you can use one?

I have hosted minecraft servers from time to time, I know how to do it. Now suddenly people cant seem to join my server. I am talking about LAN gameplay now because I know I need to port forward if I want people from all over the world to join me. Before everyone on my internet could join me. I ...

I'm looking to hear Adria's dialogue on "Suffering" and "The War's End" but I can't seem to get her to want to talk about anything but Azmodan. She is in the armory with Leah working on the Black Soulstone and these two dialogue options are not available. Is there some other time in the Act to di...

In my journal, I see the books that I've collected so far, however, some of them are still missing (for example Kulle's Journal Part 3). Is there a fixed place where I can expect to find a particular book/part of a book or do I have to keep searching the same random dungeons over and over again f...

It's nice of Blizzard to keep a record of whatever books I have collected so far, but for an organized soul like me, it just kills me to not be able to arrange the books in an order I'd like. The only order available is the default order, which is from the most recent to the oldest. Is it possibl...

I'm exploring the Howling Plateau and have found a seemingly inaccessible chest, just to the side of a wooden bridge over a small gorge: I'd dismiss it as a cute background decoration except that it glows just like real chests, which seems oddly pronounced for a background decoration. Plus, it...

I'm playing plants v zombies on the iPhone and don't have the facility to sell my plants. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks joy

I recently got a new 4GB Xbox 360, and I wonder if I should get some more memory using a memory stick. Are these fast enough to store game data on or should they just be used for backup? Are there any limitations on storage size, transfer speed etc?

Are barbarian health regeneration options limited to health potions and the occasional magic item that restores health at x per second?

Does the export agreement with Mountainhome affect anything except for telling me which goods can be traded more favourably? E.g, does trading those goods affect my relation with Mountainhome?

I guess since Diablo II, I've gotten used to a few MMOs (although I haven't personally played a Blizzard MMO). I was playing Diablo III with some mates this week and, during a brief period of downtime in New Tristram, I went for the good old /dance emote to pass the time. Only to discover that t...

As per the title, the Survivor achievement says to survive combat with low health 250 times. But how low is low?

I'm playing through Serious Sam 3 in Coop and we failed at what I presume is the final boss ( Ugh-Zan IV I think he is called. He regenerates health, you get a jet pack for the first time). Unfortunately we failed and the only way to try again we found is to restart the entire map. However that ...

When I join my friends game, I was on the very beginning of act 2 and he was on part 7 of act 2. It put me on his quest cause I joined his game I guess. I played for awhile until we almost beat act 2. When I left his party and went to 'resume' game, my game was now where I left off from his par...

I'm searching for a soccer game like FIFA which allows you to save whole played match and then replay it. It should also let you set user-defined camera from which the replay will be shown. The camera setting should have option to be fixed. It means no camera movement. Even if the game action is ...
