> I also tested further on Amazon EC2; with a c1.xlarge Amazon EC2 instance ($0.66/hr) based on benchmarking with ‘openssl speed’ you could check approximately 100 billion passwords for $100. So, for example, you could try 1,000,000 passwords against 100,000 users for $100. This is not what I would call “computationally very difficult and expensive.”
Oh. The password is resistant to dictionary attacks, but since the verification database was stolen, the whole point is moot; passwords are going to be cracked in no time.
Oh, hey. 1.0.4 will remove MF averaging over the party, and reduce the health bonus to a flat 75% per extra player, regardless of difficulty.
> The first change we’re making in 1.0.4 for co-op is to remove averaging in multiplayer games of Magic Find and Gold Find. You’ll benefit from your full Magic Find stat, independent of other players in the game.
Dropping the damage of the Skull Cleavers is a good thing, too; those and those stupid winged units did disproportionally more damage than other white monsters.
Nothing sucks more than runners than turn around and hit you harder than other enemies.
Lets say I am in a 2v2 team game. There are two situations in which I want to check an ally's supply.
He has left and I have to macro for him. When should I add new Supply Depots (or Pylons or Overlords)?
I am nearly maxed and want to push. I want to see how much supply he has, so I can decide ...
@Koviko My build allows me to ignore certain affixes without issue. Just as I suspect yours allowed you to ignore other affixes that I needed to pay attention to.
@Koviko It's still a bit of a problem, but when you had Waller + Mortar together, they'd wall you in, and the way Mortar would work is it would just go up, and come straight back down.
So it became a melee killer without much chance of death.
@StrixVaria My absolute worst combination was Arcane Molten Desecrator Fire Chains.
I've been struggling to make my way through Act 2, but I haven't minded that too much. If I'm now instantly able to breeze through Act 4, that will be a bit sad.
@Wipqozn There's one in the discussion above, but I can get another.
> Minimum threshold cause the monsters to ignore certain effects. For example if you stun a Champion for 1 second, it is reduced to 0.35 seconds which falls below the 0.5 stun threshold. This particular stun is therefor completely ignored.
Knockback effects are not reduced in any way, but you must meet the threshold for them to have an effect.
I could find no information regarding whether CC reduction is increased by level difference, but if it is then Normal monsters have CC reduction too. Again assuming it does, the Elites in Act 4 Inferno have the most resistances possible. If you …
I created a map on forge, and I want a game type to go with it. I Chose invasion slayer because it has classes, and is meant for big maps. But when I try to test it on custom game, it says this map does not fit this game type. What do I do?
I'm trying to buy a used 120 GB hard drive online. Many of the listings have photographs of HDDs which don't have a size etched on the top, but still claim to be 120 GB. Is that possible? Does anybody own an unlabeled 120 GB drive?
@Mana I've been waiting for @badp to rage quit for ages now. I can see it now... he'll start banning users left and right, deleting answers and editing in vandalism, delete The Bridge... it will be glorious.
@Mana They were probably turned off by how awesome you are.
@Mana Man, I remember the first time I asked a girl out. It was the most terrible experience ever. I could barely get the words out, and just wanted to be anywhere else but there.
@Wipqozn yeah, I er, didn't ask Daphne out in the end. I wound up denying that I had feelings for her when she confronted me, but then when I confronted her back she didn't deny it. :(
I am having some trouble breaking in to Dwarf Fortress.
I booted up the game for the first time and there were soooo many options for my new game. And when I started playing, it appeared like the game would play itself for hours and hours and I hardly had to lift a finger.

@agent86 "We originally added Magic Find averaging so optimal play did not involve people stacking what we call “adventure stats” to the detriment of their party. While this may re-emerge as a problem, we think the current solution feels like too much of a penalty, and is doing more harm than good."
So we have better weapons, better skills, weaker monsters, weaker monster skills... Just seems like too much all at once. I would've rather seen them upgrade the weapons and skills and then decide whether they really need to make monsters weaker. OR more of the "We're making some weaker and others stronger" type of stuff
@fbueckert Those are the adventure stats. Those are the only ones, I believe.
They said the averaging of Magic Find and Gold Find was so that, if a person stacking them was getting carried, they wouldn't be the only person to benefit from them.
@bwarner Yeah, it does seem like quite a large swath of changes. I would have been been alright with just the second option, personally. There are some champion packs (fast melee, with various affixes) where I just say screw it, because I know my DH has zero chance of killing them off.
I and a friend play minecraft, and with the recent 1.3.1 release we can now open our games to LAN ^_^
Or we can sometimes, sometimes we can't, sometimes we can, it's quite confusing, and we're not sure why it's happening.
See if I open my minecraft game to LAN for people to connect, it says in ...
Mods like @Ashley can sit easily knowing they don't need to abuse her mod powers because there's mods like me who can be trusted on doing the abusing for them!!
You just have to add the minecraft.exe file. On my Windows machine it is under Program Files/Minecraft, but I am not sure if that is consistent. In any case, you can just search for minecraft.exe file and add it wherever you find it.
To actually add it to Steam, you just have to go to the "Games...
I guess I need now to choose between going for ??? or Eve for a Isaac + ??? beating run or preferring something unlocked by the other classes I already have Isaac beaten with
Platinum God wasn't really the plan but the Stats screen kinda mocks me. "75/97 secrets! You're almost there!"

Assuming you have a religion, before the industrial era you have the option to use your faith to generate great prophets (as a chance after your faith exceeds a threshold value). I've noticed this threshold varies from say 400 to as high as 800 or more. Does the pre-industrial great prophet faith...
I see from the marketplace that you can now breed a new dragon called a "Seasonal" dragon, which also seems to have a unique habitat. What breeding combination is best to get this dragon? What is the breeding time? Also, is this dragon "limited"?
@UQAllulloo I have no witty remark to make about that picture as everyone I think up just makes me chuckle a bit to myself and then I think better about sharing it ;)
The Zero Isle dungeons in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky specifically) are much more similar to a typical roguelike, adding restrictions that make the dungeon difficult to complete (and forcing you to rely on luck a little more). In particular, Zero Isle ...
@Wipqozn because what 'good pokemon' depends entirely on which pokemon the asker has, how he's evolved them, what items they're carrying, what style he prefers, etc.
@GnomeSlice he says no money, no items, all pokemon start at level 1. That's a very specific situation where the only variable is which pokemon he brings
I'm assuming the way SE handles tags is they just attach them to questions based on the ID, and when they automatically delete the tag they actually delete it from the database too, and not just from the questions. Due to this when the revision goes to grab the tag it doesn't exist (assuming they don't just delete it from the revisions when deleting the tag).
Since the game is in beta phase and I'm a total noob at the game I find it natural to play with bots. My bot match consists of 3 hard bots on my team and 4 easy bots on the opposite team, plus me of course.
Well, with this setting the bots always seem to pick the same heroes every time. In every...
My biggest pet peeve with Skyrim is that its mouseover detection in menus is shoddy so that sometimes I'll click on one dialogue option but the game will actually select a different one.
Anybody know a workaround for this? This is completely different from the mouse lag issues that other people ...
I tend to have a hard time deciding how aggressive to be, mostly in-lane, in MOBA-style (based on DotA) public games. (Private games are not an option for me)
Sometimes, I will go in for a easy first blood and my lane partner will just sit farming creeps. Other times they tower dive every other ...
