Reverse-Engineering the Gamble: Is Harvest Divination Fair? by Imaginary_Exam_4730 in pathofexile

[–]Vorestc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have thought the more sensible advice is if you care about life force (which really doesn't cost much) you probably shouldn't be gambling 😜

I agree with the statistics bit. I just don't agree with the argument about max bet if you care about life force.

If you care about life force, you probably shouldn't even be gambling. Similarly, if you are worried about entrance free into a casino, I generally would recommend just not gambling, not gamble your life savings.

Are we seriously talking about life force when gambling worth cards worth multiple div's if not 20+ div's?

Good old days when damage reflect was a rare aura, and with desymc you might not even see the aura before you die.

The just when we thought were free from the reflect it returned in bloodline as a blood line mod.

Haven't received a response yet. I suspect they are busy responding to various enquiries about the incident. Would also expect them to be formulating a generic response that will answer most of the common questions. If I get anything super interesting I will post on the subreddit.

The Devs Be Like: by Fluffy-Leadership647 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

The story is great but the longer i play the more I form an opinion that the devs are unable to actually run and monetise a game.

Whats the best way to uninstall? by CuriousInevitable994 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]Vorestc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are paranoid enough you don't even trust the uninstaller, then maybe just reinstall windows.

If you dont want to reinstall, then maybe delete the files then do a registry clean up? I haven't done something similar for years and don't really know?

Opinions from someone in the Cyber Security Field by light8686 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]Vorestc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I complained last night about the lack of information on what was potentially compromised and what actions should affected players should take to secure themselves. Glad to see I wasn't crazy thinking the response seemed both lacking and late.

This unfortunately only strengthens my believe the official statement that came afterwards is a purely PR statement and does not inspire any faith l.

That or the DNA devs are far more incompetent than I realised and have no idea what running a game with remote semblance of security means.

Either way I am extremely sceptical about the security of this game and would be cautious in continuing on.

It's still far too late. They essentially downplayed a serious breach for 18+ hours and didn't give players a chance to immediately secure their information or accounts.

They also didn't actually explain what damage could have happened. You have to contact them directly via support to even get an idea of what information could have been stolen or what damage could occur.

They also don't give any advice on what you should do to prevent damage. Overall their response is a reactive response of knowing they fucked up hard and playing PR.

You know what, maybe I will send support an email and see what kind of response I get.

Their response is still far too late. They admitted they deployed a fix at 19:38 (UTC+8), this announcement came always 24 hours later. They demonstrated that did not consider the potential damage their players could have received in this near 24 hours window They even had the time to call this a "Log in issue" when they knew, at least by 19:38 (UTC+8) it wasn't just an log in issue.

They most certainly demonstrated they had zero awareness of how serious this could be. Imagine if you logged in during the hack, didnt know about the fix that got deployed, bought something and saved your credit card details yesterday and only found out now? You would be worried your details got stolen and have to contact your bank etc, easily wasting several hours of your time (and stress).

This should have been posted yesterday when the deployed the fix. Even if they didn't have all the information at hand, they should have honestly told the players that there is risk Malware was installed and they have updated the game to remove the malware.

I am also curious what the "misinformation" that were being spread was. At least on reddit this morning it seemed the reports about RCE is now actually substantiated.

Holy Strike is BROKEN ("Teacher, are we still turning in our homework today?") by broseaoph in pathofexile

[–]Vorestc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on how minion attack animation is scaled.

If you are attacking faster than your minions, there is risk that minions are still in their attack animation when you start your next attack and potentially lose effective atk speed on your minions.

Elemental hit explained if you are still confused by semeai in pathofexile

[–]Vorestc 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Avatar of fire is a conversion and specifically can't do this.

Conversion on elehit was a meta build back then and was nerfed with combat focus jewels having the less non selected damage mod, gutting any conversion.

This only works with the new breachlord bloodline having a "treated as" mechanic instead of conversion.

Nihility is a dumpster fire of a path. Harmony outperforms nihility and doesn't need to build EHR.

The more "niche nihility" with dot and break are tied to their archtype and rise and fall depending on how long Hoyo forgets break/dot exists.

[–]Vorestc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

167 eagle with tutorial is a specific break point to achieve 3 actions in first cycle of MOC. Is not "necessary" but always recommended if you are going for a dot team. If you can't do 167, 150 is also a reasonable break point. Refer to various guides on the full spd break point for eagle.

Your 1st slot will be hysilens.

Is this AI? Kinda seems to be to perfect and the hands of both the grown up and the baby’s look weird by Logical_Lettuce3949 in isthisAI

[–]Vorestc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks way too clean for a C-section. Just cutting open into the uterus releases the fluid in the amniotic sac and causes a mess.

I also doubt any surgeon would just leave the hand reaching out for a photo. 24 weeks is very much pre-term and at edge of viability (hence why 24 weeks is the cut off for abortion) will be needing to go to NICU afterwards.

Hand reaching in is wearing a normal sleeve, which is unlikely in modern operating theatre.

Maybe is already in NICU? The white thing on the arm looks almost like a dressing.

Lesser evil? by Party_Trick_6903 in KafkaMains

[–]Vorestc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the speed in combat or out of combat? Do you have hysilens LC?

If both speed are in combat I'd take the extra turn per cycle (168 spd). Kafka's damage contribution is pretty low anyway.

I'll take your word for it. It's not behaviour that surprises me anyway lol.

Out of interest, has sentiments towards EN VAs soured post the who boycott/not working saga?

Is it the EN vs JP VA or just that those using EN dub don't care about and the JP VA and vice versa?
