@GraceNote If you look at the applicants of the last last SO election, I'm quite sure the 30 that made it to the Primary all met the current requirements
I enjoy using the Beast Form ability to run into places like bandit dens and mauling all the bandits. When I do this, I continually use the Howl of Terror to make all hostiles cower, which makes it much easier for my werewolf to maul them all.
My question is will this strategy still work as my c...
Lately I really like to load a Warp Prism with 2 Sentries and 2 Zealots in PvZ.
I fly into the Zergs main when his army is not there and unload my units, force-fielding the ramp and doing terrible terrible damage. I also want to warp in some more Zealots asap.
I wonder how to micro this properly...
I asked two questions about Diablo 3 yesterday. One user, in the comments, felt I should throw the beta tag on them since Diablo 3 is still in beta. I'd considered it when writing the questions, but wasn't sure it would be necessary since the questions were about gameplay elements I felt had a ve...
In The Guild 2, how on earth do I survive the plague?
As soon as it hits town, All my family members seem to get it. Before I know it, my entire dynasty has been wiped out.
Forgive the potentially offensive name, but my wife lovingly dubbed the cooperative style of play in Super Mario Galaxy 2 "wife mode" for the following reasons:

@badp, I've played a couple dozen hours of quake live, and over the years I've played hundreds of hours of quake CTF in q2/q3 era... I mean, it's the game that I started out on the internet with. I shared my personal experience dealing with railwhores, although I didn't have a specific strategy for those maps, and I shared tips for dealing with people who you don't think are contributing to the team play. did it not contribute at all to the question?
I don't think it's fair for other people to be judging wether or not I have the "expertise" to post an answer on a question or not. people have started judging me, and I don't like it. I'm trying to contribute in what I believe is a valid way to the site.
I dunno, it might have been Powerlord's "accusations" that are coloring my perspective, but when I read your answer I had the kind of feeling that you didn't really play the game, and just kept on something that was valid in all games.
@badp It's more accurate to say, "I don't care for the particular set of images I can find that are of her hanging"
There's strangely a large lack of mixture between the twintail depiction and the suspension depiction. Least, not with any imagery that I've found tasteful.
okay, if I'd like to have my say on the things powerlord has brought up, would it be terrible if I went and posted it to meta myself? he doesn't have site access during the day and it's been a couple of days.
When you start a new game, you can either play it casually or realistic
What are the differences between these two game modes? What does it mean that not all traits are available in relaxed mode? Why are games much shorter?
@badp I know what it is (well, I think I know now), but I can't remember how... perhaps it was through an actual email and not a public place... anyway

@badp i believe it could work eventually, but to have it be productive, useful, and inclusive, it needs a) a MUCH more diverse user base and b) actual experts and not just SE users flailing around
@Mana yeah, definitely
i've never seen that mechanic in any other game i can think of
I know that The Skyrim manual states:

@Lazers I have played this game, and I feel like I could take a pretty good swing at answering this, but I'm afraid to answer questions at this point. If this were an AC game, I'd need to go bribe a herald to reduce my notoriety... :)
Ah, well, I don't actually know if a barrel roll is even helpful in Ace Combat. I watched my roommate play Unsung War through, but never got a hand at it myself
@FallenAngelEyes I reckon we just don't want to see tons, but without establishing some sort of blockade, we can't really do anything about ones that do arrive, though, neh?
Could not find this on here, sorry if it is. As a specific example, this question about the earliest game with a major escort component.
OP even doubts if it fits here, however, the question seems to have a well defined scope and the potential answers, though they might be less specific than som...
I agree with the reasoning, but...I still wanna get a bit more of a judge on how the community feels about this particular instance. It's clear that 1. the author's willing to work with us and 2. some members of the community are in favor of this particular one.
@GraceNote nope, the original image was ScoTTy, my first clan's mascot-slash-logo. The current one is Sean G.'s rendition of him as some sort of cthulu or mutated sunflower :)
If we're going to allow them, then we need to be clear in the policy, but that was the most recent and most visible discussion we had, and my takeaway from it was that we weren't really allowing them anymore. If I've misinterpreted that, that's cool, but if our policy is unclear, I think it's probably something we should look at.
@FallenAngelEyes We aren't clear - the linked question in that meta question is still open. Thus closing this one and leaving the old one open sends mixed messages.
@JasonBerkan Agreed, and mixed messages are bad, hence why I think we need to look at our policy regarding it, what the community thinks, and whether or not we're enforcing consistently.
I think one of the most challenging things about this site is that so many of the decisions are subjective and also subject to whoever's around at the time it's made, y'know? policy is really hard for that reason.
In Dragon Age:Origins, whenever you found a codex page you would get XP. You knew this because the amount you earned would appear in the corner of the screen, much like it does when you disarm a trap or open a chest in DA2. My question is, even though you don't see any XP shown when you find a pa...
I've been playing a Barbarian in the Diablo III beta, and despite the disturbing lack of pants, he's been crackin' skulls and takin' names.
I'm wondering, however, if there would be any reason to not use Bash / Cleave / some other Fury generator. What's the advantage of using a normal attack?
@GraceNote What's the proper etiquette for bumping an old discussion that hasn't been resolved on Meta, like the game mechanic trivia one? New answer, or...?
What benefit does this add?
User1: Here's my (bad) question.

If I have an item with a % increased chance to Finding Magical Items (3% in this case), does this apply only to me, or does that bonus apply to my party members as well? Could you end up stacking this with your teammates to provide a decent chance of better items overall?
We apparently never came to a consensus on this question. Personally, I agree with Strixvaria's answer, which also received the most upvotes here. I'd been running on an assumption since this discussion that we were leaning towards disallowing trivia-style questions due to reasons he and @TheQ st...
@OrigamiRobot I think I'll adjust my title to a broader "How does it work," which would allow me to include that, as my previous title would fall under that as well.
In all my years of diablo I am pretty sure this Magic Find only stacks up against you and isn't party wide. Everytime i've played online people always get the person with the most MF to loot the bodies, chests, etc. I couldn't find any sources on this exactly but i'll keep on looking but I am a...
Am I correct in what I said, that my -1 was justified?
I don't see how I'm not
but curious if perhaps there is some angle I'm not looking at this
Take note to look at the post before the edit
> @Wipqozn Its funny how I actually find some sources and weird I was 100% correct. Thanks for acting like a child about this :)

I'm just going to ignore him

I'm going to flag that comment
it fits the first flag reason, rude and offensive.

In SWTOR, I often find myself playing a healer to my companion tanking, especially against Elite-level mobs.
Currently, I am pressing F1 twice in order to target my companion. Sometimes, though, I don't quite make it and poor Khem Val dies.
Is there a single shortcut I can use to avoid this?
I notice that if I don't have a companion with me, I don't tend to gain any affection for them. For example, I've never gained/lost any affection from my ship droid, because I've never had him with me outside the ship.
But will the same apply if I send my current companion away on a crew task an...
I am growing pretty tired of getting into a match with uneven teams and having little to no hope of winning. Does the Warzone queue pop with uneven teams? I am just getting unlucky and getting paired with people that don't actually "Join" the Warzone?
I have Smithing to level 100, but only up to Arcane in perks. I have four pieces of +25% smithing enchanted gear.
I noticed sometimes the enchant doesn't show up so I have to re-equip and then it appears under active effects. While wearing all four pieces I could only improve a daedric bow to 51...
Yeah, I'd already been on the fence about making it an answer. Once you added the companion bit that I couldn't answer, seemed smarter to make it a comment
I'm not sure that question is currently answerable
I'd like to be able to activate items (ideally) with the keyboard numbers, but 1-6 are reserved for unit groups, correct? I assume those cannot be assigned to items.
What is the ideal character setup and which weapons should each character use before end game of the first play through?
I figure with multiple times through the game you can probably just amass a full compliment of golden guns, but I'm probably only going through the game a single time...
Is there any way to zoom out the camera in DotA 2? I've found my ideal aspect ratio - and holy crap, is the resolution terrible if you're not on the right one!
Even with the right ratio, I feel like I can't quite see enough of the screen, especially in the vertical direction. Any tips?
When looking at questions like Power vs. Force Power and What effect do the lesser character stats have? , everyone seems to indicate that Power and Force Power have the exact same effect; If thats true, Why does one have a 50% damage dealt reduction, and one does not. Doesn't that make the ...
I've read that the Kichu monster type makes one of the best COM classes in the game. Where are they located so that I can tame them? And about what level do I need to be to stand a chance of taking them out with 4 or 5 stars?
