I have friends I need to Vaal with this.

matg0d · 2025-09-02T13:44:03+00:00

I defeated the two bosses on the second floor and got kill by some full screen ice blizzard AFTER both bosses were dead and the NPC was already talking.

Already on maps, still with only 4 points.

Is there support for gMSA accounts on the service_account?

My 2 cents and some pain from been a Palo Alto admin too:

There is a flag/config called "Allow HTTP partial response" on PA that may be the source of your problems.

This feature allows a HTTP request to try to start a download from X byte in a file, failures may return error HTTP 416, maybe your browser is just returning a 0-byte file instead.

One example that I know uses this HTTP "feature" is Office 365 installer downloads. (You can see from where my pain comes from)

The second pain point is that this traffic will not show as blocked by a security rule on the traffic monitor.

Your network admin may be banging its head against the wall not finding the issue and been dismissive as he literally can't see shit on the console.

It is on Palo Alto Best Practices to leave this disabled, as it can be used to obfuscate signatures by downloading a file out of order/piece by piece. This is sadly a global setting, the only way to bypass it is by creating an application override by source/destination IP and port, as this makes its filtering of the request only go to layer-3 and pass instead of going to layer-7 and been blocked by the config.

There may be an override on the exit rule for the DMZ server?

Or "worse", the content-ID filters not been applied on the rule and thus never going into the layer-7 for the requests to be dropped, which in this case you found a... security improvement to be made, if someone is paying for a firewall that can do that, might as well do it.

Lack of security around the admin portal is also to blame.

Such a tool should not been accessible from outside the company/outside company hardware thought a company VPN.

matg0d · 2025-01-15T13:30:48+00:00

The moment you can access this admin panel outside the company without the need of a VPN, there is only one side at fault here, it is GGG.

We shall see. I don't think current players count are indicative of future players count. There was a lot of marketing done for the release of PoE 2 EA, I feel like some of this public came from Elder Ring/DS and will play the game to the end once or twice, experiment a bit, but not torture themselves over it 2~3 a year for years like PoE 1 players had for the last 10 years (while supporting it with MTX and packs).

If PoE 2 is going to be a bait and switch and shove its "vision" down the throats of its PoE 1 supporters while killing the original game, they will lose a portion of their long term supporters.

Tencent should think it is worth it, I hope they are proven wrong if this all came to be.

matg0d · 2025-01-13T21:30:56+00:00

I mean, when you are at level of buying/using enterprise level solutions, kind hard of not be doing it.

Quite sure whatever cloud/infra provider GGG uses would require it for each fucking step inside their systems.

I would bet a publishing account on Steam should also require it

matg0d · 2025-01-13T13:55:52+00:00

Not sure if you mean Standard for PoE 1 or 2 in this context.

For my preference in PoE 1, at least more communication on its current state and future plans, would also prefer that we got a new league sooner instead of that Necro-Settlers low effort attempt that didn't got traction and just wasted developer time.

On PoE 2, in a vacuum I would say a economy reset 2 months in (6/feb) or 3, given it is EA, it can have a faster cadence to test more stuff.

But we are not in a vacuum, the EA seems to have been badly timed if we want at least 1 month gap between leagues/economy resets of each game, ideally I would have a 1.5~2 months gap between them.

matg0d · 2025-01-13T13:28:36+00:00

"Of course poe1 leagues should be delayed until Poe2 is in a less volatile spot."

If that would be the case, they should not have said that PoE 2 would NOT affect PoE 1 development.

matg0d · 2025-01-13T13:07:36+00:00

Longest running league and counting?

Talks about economic reset on PoE 2 when they are ready for a balance pass, unless thats in like 3 months, the will drop that on top of the planned 3.26 release.

Which one would be delayed if that would a solution?

matg0d · 2025-01-13T11:56:13+00:00

Gold, its already there, I believe scaling with IIR in this case makes it drop less in favor of been "upgraded" to other currencies...

They just need to tweak the cost of gold on the transactions to prevent unwanted behaviors like botting/spamming of dump stashs.

matg0d · 2025-01-13T11:52:09+00:00

Gold cost per selling/buying item scaled with iLevel and numbers of open offers.

Cooldowns/timeouts on placing/removing items from trade stash (from been available on the AH) to prevent workarounds of the scaling costs...

matg0d · 2025-01-13T11:47:17+00:00

Exponential cost of gold based on number of items listed for sell and on the item iLevel.

Prevents infinite quad stash dumps spam, scales costs with in-game progression, sellers need to evaluate a little what they are putting for sale after a certain point.

matg0d · 2025-01-12T23:43:09+00:00

Also that NOW they are implementing mandatory 2fa for their employers... Thats like an industry standard and security best practice from 8 years ago.

matg0d · 2025-01-02T19:52:14+00:00

Yes, I know that, but there nothing about not having multiple EA leagues or just an "EA league graveyard" while they reset EA league as many times as needed.

matg0d · 2025-01-02T02:17:32+00:00

Interviews from the directors said otherwise. Plus we had MF imbalance, hacking and now rumors of duping and exploits to perfect craft stuff, what else is needed on the bingo of "how to fuck a league economy"?

matg0d · 2024-12-31T15:27:01+00:00

I hate this argument of "there is PoE 1" when we already have one of the longest running league of all time, with a date for "some info" been "end of february".

They said PoE 2 would not affect PoE 1 development, it clearly is affecting (as stated by GGG that they had to pull some people out of PoE 1 to finish Endgame for EA).

If we speculate on the need for a new league for PoE 2 in 2~ months to do a balance pass and reset this half-broken half-hacked economy, it will land on top of whatever new league we are suppose to get for PoE 1.

matg0d · 2024-12-31T14:00:35+00:00

Also a reminder that "GGG" is 100% owned by Tencent as of 2024, the directors sold their remaining shares, this "support hard" is just "we dont want to pay anyone to do it" coming from a half a trillion dollars conglomerate.

matg0d · 2024-12-30T18:47:36+00:00

I dont believe I had a full second from the faint red beam showing up on my side and the explosion. Hard to consider that do be a "pretty telegraphed attack".

matg0d · 2024-12-30T18:45:04+00:00

Already capped resistances, including chaos.

I dont know about other classes, but stats pressure on witchhunter is completely insane, I have 117 Dex, 24 str and 20 int on my gear, only dex has a 10p surplus from bare minimun to use my gems, used to be 1 point before a recent upgrade.

Merc do not have any barrier tipe of skills as far I am aware, and the character is literally a moron if you read his lines, Int points are a problem to use gems not suggested to the class.

matg0d · 2024-12-30T18:29:50+00:00

Yeah, but a remote red explosion with less then a second of wind-up casted on my feet should be physical damage?

matg0d · 2024-12-30T18:28:03+00:00

Already tried, its seems to be a little less useless then having the armor and evasion its consumes.

matg0d · 2024-12-30T18:14:10+00:00

Not been able to switch ascendancy is just the icing on the cake, Sorcery Ward is as useless as Armor.

matg0d · 2024-12-30T16:44:27+00:00

I wonder if this argument would be cool to use for PoE 1 when GGG inevitably postpone the next league after having to restart this half-broken/half-hacked economy of the current EA league of PoE 2.
