Does this mean you can multistrike + leap slam like the Flash on a pogo stick and not be desynced to hell and back? I might have to go play some PoE again soon if so because some skills were suicide to use unless you had an AHK macro to resync yourself constantly.

Yes, but you need a decent (<200ms) ping. It's completely lockstep, so if you get lag spikes, your game will lock up until it catches up.

My point being the game could literally revert to 1.0 and they would say. "It's a fun game guys."

I think Balzac covered it best.

This makes my inner software dev honestly curious about all the research, techniques and Goddamn Witchcraft that goes into making a modern real-time game as lag free as possible, if only to answer the question "why does PoE seem to have so much trouble doing it" :v:

It helps that they've been updating/cleaning up/working with the same backend for 10-or-so years. Which is a questionable decision in and of itself at this point.

Looks like just the Shield Swipe change, basically. Flash is still flash, Sword Oath is still Sword Oath, etc.

Some good QoL stuff and the like, but those were in or discerned from the prelim. notes, so. Minions are fun, the crafting recipes seem a little sparse if they're all specialist recipes, either way, going to have fun diving into stuff tomorrow.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
Neat, looks like we got 3 new dances. /sundance, /golddance, and /thavdance. Hmm also a /statusoff command to remove beneficial things. Time to macro my way to never accidentally healing with cleric stance on.

quote:

The original WoW developers decided that there would be an array to hold your inventory. The first several entries are things that end up on the paper doll, your head and leg slots and such. After that comes your inventory. At some point they wanted to add a bank to the game, so they added that to the end of the array. Players shouldn't be able to access their bank anywhere in the world, as it would break the code. This was handled by adding lots of statements in different places in the code, defining what the array position was where the inventory ended and where the bank begins. This value was hardcoded all over the place, but it isn't just a simple search to find them all. Some math logic may rely on it being constant

I so hope you're right, but I fear that it's main use is to click off B4B just before potentially-lethal damage.

With what I've heard out of Blizzcon, how they're suddenly adding all those talents they removed back in, it's only a matter of time before they merge the Guardian and Feral trees back together, and then my username will become relevant again. :v:
