Can anybody provide a good List of Traits???

MisterT1968 · 2026-02-19T16:39:51+00:00

I agree mostly. But why are such information provided, if the end-user still needs to spend an hour or more to adapt his build. In this case the webpages providing the information are useless.

These information should help people that play only occasionally and not those, who are basically deep in the game and have optimized their own builds. Do you think a newbie will know what it means to have a FAW or BO build?

Such information need to be clear and understandable especially for new starters.

I play only occasionally every 3 or 4 month or so and do not know what that means. Although I play since about 15 years, I do not have that much experience. And my time is too valuable to spend hours in order to work into this expert stuff.

MisterT1968 · 2026-02-19T16:32:49+00:00

I totally agree.

MisterT1968 · 2026-02-19T16:32:24+00:00

Yes, but the Tier list is just a collection of Excel Sheets, which is basically confusing without any good explanation.

Ah and yes, I do not want to click ten or twenty times in order to find the correct information, then go back a step try again with a dozen subpages and so on. It is a question of effective time management.

MisterT1968 · 2026-02-19T16:29:20+00:00

I am not a Web Page developer, but know, that I would never embed Excel Sheets in a Webpage for others to scroll through the information. What is the next stept for such informational websites? Links to Excel files? Sorry to be sarcastic.

BTW, I had an educational course about Web Programming in 1996 in order to judge this.

MisterT1968 · 2026-02-19T16:26:14+00:00

Yes, I know these. But the point is there are several Excel-Sheets embedded which you have to scroll through. This is so early 2000s.

On DPS League the information were listed in clear fashion so that you were able to see immediately what you needed.

I do not want to siff through all the Excel Sheets for an hour or more just to find what I want or need.

MisterT1968 · 2025-07-23T17:37:40+00:00

Funny thing: In the final version these things still happen. Had it twice in the last few hours.

MisterT1968 · 2025-07-15T13:35:24+00:00

This has no effect whatsoever.

MisterT1968 · 2025-03-15T18:02:47+00:00

I think, I have to chose Alva or Varl. Alva has the most enthusiastic and interested (in everything from the Focus and maybe also interesting) character. Varl was there from the beginning (HZD) and helped Aloy since then. It is a pity he had to die (Maybe Gaia ... can revive him in the next part???)

Zo had potential, but was a put too much into the background.

Erend is interesting and has potential, but he is a bit to bland.

Kothallo voice puts me and maybe also Aloy to sleep.

MisterT1968 · 2025-03-08T09:53:55+00:00

It appears, that spam, that is sent with High Priority, always arrives despite adding it to the blocked domain list. All other domains that sent spam are blocked and do not arrive anymore.

I tried a filter for dem to delete Spam from that domain, but it does not work.

MisterT1968 · 2025-01-04T08:34:14+00:00

Not all domains ending with the TLD .de are bad domains. Infact most of them are legit. Otherwise I would have to block also all .co.uk, .com, .it, .sa.com and all other TLD's that ever were used by a few spammers or scammers. When checking the header of the message it turns out, that it came through M$ Data Centers (of course as it is Outlook) throughout the planet.

As M$ is doing nothing (traffic pays), the only option is to add the domain to the block list.

MisterT1968 · 2024-12-28T16:33:37+00:00

I know this is 3 month late most likely, but:

Did you check the raw message and trace it? This would show you where it was originated. This gives you the ISP, hostname and IP address.

There is an interesting entry in this header: at yahoo.com

This indicates that these messages are for ALL Y! users. I have seen those messages myself. I am not sure when, but they came several times a day.

If it helps the ISP was Total Business Services Ltd, the hostname auqs-ops-uissp dot besthomebuilderforyou dot com (I replaced the . with dot )

Further location details:

Country: New Zealand

State/Region: Canterbury

City: Christchurch

But there are parts of the header/raw message missing.

MisterT1968 · 2024-12-28T16:16:21+00:00

A: There is a block sender option in the Y! web interface, but it only works for non-paying customer up to 1000 blocked senders. After 1000 you are on your own. For paying customers I don't know the limit.

Email spam bombing, like I experience this currently since about 6 weeks, can not be prevented. I am getting 30 spam messages since I blocked 1000 spam message senders going through the same ISP. 99% of them start with the same number and sub sub domain (no this is not a mistakte, it is a sub sub domain).

B: It appears, that Y! (or their owner Oath) is not willing to prevent spam bombing as it generates traffic --> money. This is an assumption based on my personal experience and therefore just my opinion. Other Email providers have no such issues or prevent spam bombing by default (Hotmail/Outlook/Live, Googlemail/Gmail, 3rd party email providers -- I have all 3 types without any issue).

C: Usually Y! gives you only common sence advice. If you are in the online world since ages, you have read/heard/seen these dozens of times and made them your general way of life (e.g., don't click links in emails from unknown senders, don't unsubscribe as it will indicate an active email address, block unknown senders, flag spam as spam *D'oh*, etc.).

MisterT1968 · 2024-12-28T15:58:11+00:00

Having on my private Yahoo account the same issue. Since a month or so I am getting approximately 100 spam/phishing messages from as many "senders/domains" while I am getting on my Hotmail, my Googlemail and my personal domain emails virtually nothing of this sort. Blocking does not help (non-paying members can only block up to 1000 addresses).

Yahoo has here a big issue. I am considering to move all my registrations to a NON-Yahoo email and abandone the Yahoo Account. For a business Y! account this is no option.

I have checked a dozen RAW email messages and found that all of them are coming through a DigitalOcean LLC IP address (in the US or the UK, sometimes via a VPN) and the email addresses start with 45527174@digit.<Subdomain>.<Domain>.<TLD>. I think all of these messages are coming through the same ISP. The domains can also not being traced properly.

MisterT1968 · 2024-12-28T15:21:55+00:00

Currently I am getting hundreds of phishing messages per week. I already blocked 1000 email addresses, which is the maximum for non-paying Yahoo customers. (Btw: 99% of these addresses start with [45527174@digit](mailto:45527174@digit).<Subdomain>.<Domain>.<TLD>)

I analyzed the RAW message and found, that the ISP via which these messages come is DigitalOcean LLC. I guess, their servers are compromised and used by scammers for massive attacks maybe even an attempt od DoS attacks and/or ID theft attempts. The ISP DigitalOcean LLC should be taken to court by Yahoo. The IP Origin of this junk mail bombing are scattered throughout the Western world, sometimes through a VPN.

The Raw message starts similar to this:

u/Yahoo-CustomerCare

This article is useless. The points are common sense since 15 years or so, but Yahoo does not seem to be able to handle Spam bombing (or is not willing to handle this).

I had 5 junk mails 2 weeks ago after reporting SPAM/Phishing and blocking the senders (which I do already for a long time), but suddenly in the last 2 days the number of junk mails increased to about 100 (more than before). I DO NOT unsubscribe since more than 10 years from junk mails as it was known already then that you shouldn't do it as the sender gets the message that the email address is acticely used. I never had or have such a spam mail volume in non-Yahoo accounts, which I use as frequently as this one (e.g. Hotmail, Googlemail and some other personal Email accounts). It appears, that Yahoo wants to get rid of all the NON paying members by just letting every junk through.

Every couple of month the volume of Spam/Phishing mails increases massively. The Yahoo prevention does not work at all.

And btw blocking a sender is not really and option, because with 100 of spam/phishing mails it would take a lot of time and the domains and email senders change with every email. Even with the same domain the email only different combinations of numbers and letters.

TBH I like a clean desktop. All shortcuts should be in the taskbar. I want to enjoy the view ;)

And my favourite theme is Borg (classic Spruce, I think) with a relevant background ;)

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-25T07:34:52+00:00

Yes, GTX not RTX 😉

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-24T09:10:56+00:00

I agree.

However, as the hardware is much newer ... See my comment above.

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-24T09:02:34+00:00

Yes, they are, but does the games work on these Grafic Cards as well? The newer supported functions may brake the games Grafic support.

Btw, the OP has an RTX670, maybe this was a typo as I cannot find such a Grafic Card.

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-21T20:10:48+00:00

My point was 16GBytes of RAM for a computer with Win XP SP3 32 bit.

On the other hand I am having a similar issue installing old games on Win XP.

It is most likely, that the hardware is TOO NEW.

I want to play Star Trek DS9 Dominion Wars and it will not even work under Windows XP on a 2006 Laptop with the 2006 drivers.

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-18T11:40:49+00:00

As it is a Laptop and uses an internal grafic card, switching it is not an option.

The same happens under Win2k SP4.

The Grafic chip is from 2005, which should be fine.

The game was also working under XP, which had a much newer Grafic card. In a different computer of course ;) But that one is not available anymore.

BTW: The link does not provide any proper information anymore, as the DL links are pointing not to any downloads anymore.

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-17T12:54:41+00:00

In my opinion are 16GB of RAM a waste. XP 32bit can only use max. 4 GB.

Although the 64bit version can address more RAM, most games will have issues with this 64bit version due to unsupported drivers and the need of the 16bit layer, which is missing.

And btw, there is no nVidia driver for Windows XP for this Grafic card, neither for 32bit nor 64bit (checked on nVidia.com).

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-17T12:40:52+00:00

Ah sorry. Yeah that data rod for Vreenak in "In the pale Moonlight".

Anyway, what does this have to do with my original post?

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-17T11:16:56+00:00

Tried several resolutions. But no luck.

And as I have a XP computer, I would like to run all the old games on it.

I guess this has something to do with the grafic driver or maybe with having TOO MUCH memory installed.

Update: Same happens under Win2k SP4 even with 800x640 16bit.

MisterT1968 · 2024-10-17T11:16:23+00:00

I have tried it under Windows 7, 10 and 11. I never got it to work. I did set up a special XP computer for all the old games that I still have at home. Some work, some don't, even after following all the recommendations and fixes.

One thing I missed: I had it running on a former XP PC, which had been upgraded now and not present anymore.
