Q: My shield disappeared during my jailbreak!

I got arrested for stealing in the town of Didenhil in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and I then went and escaped from jail. After grabbing my equipment I ran out of town and did some other stuff. However I noticed that after all this happened that my shield (a very nice kite shield with a def of ...

agent86

@RavenDreamer so... if you think ME3 is great when it comes out, does that mean I'm going to be unimpressed by it? If so, don't play ME3, kthxbai

@agent86 I already think ME3 is great.

Q: How can I change my default login to the Cerberus network (EA Online)

When I originally bought and installed Mass Effect 2 two years ago, I had a different password to log in to my EA Online account.

pc mass-effect-2

I recently asked this question, and at the time I thought it was being caused by something other than it was. Now I'm pretty sure it has to do with windows 7 settings. Should I close it?

Not sure if that sort of "tech support" question is good for the site

Rapida

@Sterno I want you to answer that question so I can fix my stupid Mass Effect 2

badp

@Sterno No, you should answer it?

Sterno

@badp I haven't fixed it yet! :)

@Rapida Same problem?

badp

@Sterno Then comment with what you've got!

Rapida

@Sterno Mine tries to log in and than fails. I then have to type in my account and password (can't even tab to different fields on that stupid UI)

Sterno

00:17

@badp Well I was getting ready to update the question but I wasn't sure if it still fit the site

@Rapida Yeah, exact same problem

badp

...why wouldn't it?

Sterno

alright, I'll update.

@badp Because tech support type questions could easily end up in the too localized category. Though it sounds like this one isn't

@Rapida You can try some stuff in this thread if you want though it didn't seem to work for me. Describes the same problem though

Rapida

@Sterno Thanks, I'll give it a shot

League of Legends

League of Legends is an action RTS video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows, inspired by the popular DotA All-Stars. map for Warcraft III. It was first announced on October 7, 2008, and released on October 27, 2009. The game was in a closed beta from April 10, 2009, to October 22, 2009. It then transitioned to open beta until release. Gameplay General Players are formed into 2 even teams of Champions, 3v3 or 5v5. there are 92 different released champions. Each team starts at opposing sides of a map in an area called the Spawning Pool, near what is calle...

Q: What happens to cities recieved through a trade?

It's possible to trade cities to other civilizations, but what actually happens? Is the city considered annexed as if you conquered it, or does it behave like a normal city as if you built it yourself?

Wipqozn

"Are cities received through a trade treated the same as conquered cities?"

Actually, no.

That's too specific and not what I'm asking.

I actually dislike my entire body the more I read it.

Q: What is the state of cities recieved through a trade?

It's possible to trade cities to other civilizations, but I'm uncertain how cities received through a trade behave. Do they suffer any penalties compared to cities I built myself, or do they behave the same?

Wipqozn

@JoshPetrie haha, clever. I figured that was the case, but thought it was worth a shot.

@FallenAngelEyes And at the moment, he's working for Vicious Cycle.

@FallenAngelEyes Hm. I'm very foggy about this.

Tim Stone

Ah, yeah. You have to be kind of deliberate in your conversations on those quests to make sure you get everything.

agent86

@TimStone this is something that's always kind of bugged me about ME. I can tolerate almost everything else (mako in ME1 didn't bug me, element hunting in ME2 didn't either, really) but the "you missed something because you missed a single conversation element" always makes me really paranoid

Tim Stone

Yeah, it can be rather aggravating sometimes. At least it makes sense, though, from a "What you'd have to know to get that kind of response" point of view.

FallenAngelEyes

01:34

Grace Note

@TimStone You should get your brain examined

Rapida

@Sterno I opened up ME2 a few times and never happened. That's lame...

Sterno

@agent86 Eh, sort of. He's got a good point. It's just not an answer to the question. It should be a comment on the question, and my comment should have been a comment back at him

The question is "how do I fix this" and his answer is basically "Don't bother"

agent86

@Sterno well, if the answer is you can't fix it, then that's an answer, yeah?

Sterno

@agent86 Sure. But it's probably fixable.

agent86

if it's a wrong answer, downvote it

Sterno

02:26

It's not a wrong answer. It's NOT an answer.

But whatever, I'm cool either way :)

Sterno

It's like if someone says "How should I build my Finesse dude in KOA?" and I post "Finesse sucks, here's a good Might build"

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote I remember this game.

@FallenAngelEyes I too have 2 of the medals from Jan. 2010.

Sterno

@Wipqozn @agent86 I agree if I read it differently than I did. I read "Not that I found" as "I didn't really try, but here's some other info". If you read it as "I tried, but I really don't think you can fix it" then I agree.

Raven Dreamer

And by "I", I mean, "my brother probably got, because I share his kongregate account"

Sterno

But like I said, it's no biggie either way. It's a valuable bit of info to have attached to that question one way or the other

Wipqozn

02:30

@Sterno Yeah, I read it as the latter.

Grace Note

Granted, I noticed this actually resembles a reverse of how I went in Casual mode. I found it humorous to see that the mods on my Hunter's sniper rifle were the same as my allied Sniper's sniper rifle in this run.

FallenAngelEyes
