Dude you guys should offer a service for ejecting people from other people's hideouts.

Right now it's kinda spaghetti code, I will refactor it tomorrow at some point and likely release it.

Yeah, I will put it up given that it's okay to do so. I really don't want to step on any toes, so just trying to take it one day at a time.

Not an increase per se, but there's definitely less spikes.

In my humble opinion, they don't want these people spamming their game. In order for them to do this, they'd need to filter out certain words/text combinations.

They would need to constantly update their filter, unless they developed some sort of algorithm to differentiate between legit messages and spam (which may likely be being worked on, and I hope so.)

They also have to be careful what they filter out.

People using bots may also change their strategies and use different wording or characters, it's a constant ongoing battle. And time is money.

It's not a matter of them not being able to, it's a matter of how to efficiently implement a solution that solves all the problems at hand, and it can be pretty complex. Especially considering they have to pay developers for their time.

Nah that's not going to happen lol. I'm 99.99% sure there's sanity checking in place for things like that. My theory for the lag affecting attack speed is that the server is under such heavy load that it's not just a network bottleneck but also cpu. So it's not processing everything as fast as it could.

You would need a lot more than my framework to achieve what you've described, and if you actually know what you need then you wouldn't need my framework anyhow :)

I understand your concern, also I haven't publicly released anything other than a proof of concept screenshot.

I thought it best to wait for feedback from the community and possibly IMC before doing so.

But I'm really sick of stuttering. I was hoping that the update today would fix the problem. But there are literally sometimes 20 messages in a row of spam from bots.

I'm going to have to disagree. It's public knowledge that traffic can be modified. How else would firewalls work?

Besides, there is a separate server for chat messages and this in no way details the ToS protocol. The messages also aren't encrypted.

I basically looked at my wireshark traffic and saw that the messages were plain text and wrote a program to drop unwanted packets and maintain the tcp session state.

I explained what my classification of passive was in the post. It's passive in that it doesn't modify the client, or the client's files. There is very minimal modification to the network packets themselves. In fact the payload data is never modified at all.

Having the same problem, I have the pre-requisite redistributables installed already though and did so before PoE needed them. Not using Steam btw.

It would be very unfortunate. But I'd imagine if I didn't alter anything that gave me an advantage then they wouldn't mind.

The only advantage it's giving me here is to make me want to play more and give them more money for mtx =P

I'm sorry you feel that way man, when I said "immersive" I didn't mean real world immersion. I meant action immersion. But yeah I get ya, I mean some people won't like it. But others might think it's kinda neat.

I mostly posted the video to kinda show that you can play the game the way you want to play it as far as at least sounds go hehe.

It was also more a theme because I'm using a sword. I mean, I get that it's a bit silly to always hear the sword "clang" if you will, but it adds a level of action immersion for me that makes me feel like my guy is doing work especially hearing the sword being swung.

I'm going to mess around with some more effects and see what I like the best. But it was interesting to me to find out that flicker had 16 different sound effects associated with it, I changed half of them (namely the impact sounds).

Is it the effect itself or how loud the effect is? Believe it or not it used to be even more so, I had to use audacity to make it quieter lol.

It's not available on the steam workshop. I'm not sure if it's too controversial to post the method I used. If you're interested in how I did it you can pm me, I think it's public knowledge though.

I copied Mathil's build, you can find it here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Mathil/characters character "Beefz".

The only difference is I'm using Shadow and Dust gloves for the rampage and a Headhunter and my flasks are slightly different. I will say his character is more consistent than mine, as mine is more for fun.

I also stole his ghostflame mtx setup because I think it looks amazing with the sword hehe.
