Do they still make you redo the campaign for leagues? I know some people will say “following x guide you can skip the campaign in ONLY 3 hours” or some shit but I’ll pass.
Yeah they do. It’s not like you have any cutscenes or excessive dialogs to sit through. It’s just going from place to place, gaining items and leveling, very much like the game after the acts.
Clearing the campaign is basically getting to level 65, and having the general shape of your build running.
This league is extra nice thanks to a free movement speed buff from one of the league tree passives.
Eh, there’s something mind numbing about having to redo the campaign. Go to town, speak to guy, find item for guy in some random cave, repeat at new town. Zero chance to get any loot or make any real progress I’d care about.
I also usually made a camping speed then swap to a mid/end build.
I got to act 10 kitava at over lvl 70 and realized I had cleared zones more than I meant to, but I also had an issue with a monitor cable giving out on me that caused my game to lock up and boot me to log in, I had just killed shav right before the depraved trinity fight, and so I had to go back through 2 zones to get there again… lots of xp, but very annoying.
I don’t really understand people who bought this pile of crap. Like I get it that you are hyped, and wanna get into the game, but when I’m hyped for a game, no matter what, I read up about reviews, watch videos, etc before actually buying it.
Just shows how eager people are to throw away their money without knowing any better.
It sounds like the person who posted this believes you can run code on people’s machines simply by having their IP address rather than there actually being any kind of exploitable code-running capability. Leaking your IP isn’t really a big deal, as you’re constantly leaking your IP any time you connect to anything anyways, and if CS:2 uses any kind of peer-to-peer to lower latency or make the game more responsive, you could have grabbed those ips with a simple netstat (for windows users) command anyhow.
Right, the worst that can happen is a DDoS, you can take down a residential connection really easily. Those little consumer grade routers cannot handle much lmao
And since most residential IPs are short-lived DHCP leases, instead of permanent IPs, a simple router reset will usually get you a new IP and you’re good at that point.
My excuse is that it’s a waste. There is no point in doing that unless you want to do something that you are not allowed to do like hop regions or something.
Edit: I should of pointed out that I meant limited use for security reasons, like accessing your bank account in public areas, its not much but it can help to protect you from MitM attacks at the very least.
VPNs doesn’t really improve security in a way that usually matters.
Nearly all web traffic is already encrypted.
VPNs absolutely have their uses (like accessing remote networks, bypassing firewalls and censorship, piracy) but they are not needed for just using all the time.
Web encryption is genuinely security theater considering whose root certificates come pre-installed. Microsoft has the ability to decrypt all web traffic on Windows at will due to their preinstalled cert, and they are almost certainly under gag order and compelled to give the NSA unrestricted access to this backdoor.
Futher, the EU is going to install their certs on every computer and make it illegal for browsers to uninstall or untrust them. I don’t live in the EU so I can’t confirm if this is happened already but theoretically this can have global impact.
I’m not saying a VPN necessarily helps here but your trust in web encryption is misplaced.
YouTube sponsorship is the major use of VPNs. Hiding your IP does nothing to mitigate user tracking by application/hardware finger printing, tracking of users logged into a service, or tracking of user activity with cookies.
I know there are so many other ways they are tracking people. There was one discovered they put a list of I think 500 top sites and they could identify people with I think it was 90% accuracy, just by telling which sites they visited because the links turn purple. I these are the ones discovered, so they where doing this before people found out what else are the doing that nobody knows about yet.
So what are you gaining using a VPN to access your bank? Your bank website is https so it’s already encrypted. VPN’s are vastly misrepresented in their commercials.
Fighting the good fight. I have about 25 torrents that have one one seed, me, and can’t be otherwise purchased. I just leave them on unlimited ratio and feel better when every I see a leech connect.
Okay but why not set up a separate/dedicated route for that traffic?
Not that I disapprove of what/how you’re doing, curious because it’s what I do. I’d assume you’ve got a VM or node other than your workstation hosting your torrent client, otherwise this method doesn’t make sense.
The VPN runs on my router and my torrent client runs on my server. Anyhow, why would I want only some of my traffic to go through VPN when I can send it all through?
All of my traffic for all the devices in my home goes through VPN cause I have it configured at the router level. I’m not gonna turn it off for gaming.
Literally the first I heard of this game has been all the negative coverage in the past couple of days. Where were all these people who were apparently hyped and clamouring to play this game even coming from?
I had it wishlisted in Steam since January when I saw it pop up in my discovery queue and was a bit interested in it, but I’ve rarely seen anyone talk about it at all before release. It apparently also took the spot of the 2nd most wishlisted game on Steam. Never bought it since I usually wait a few months after release to buy any game in case things like this happen.
There’s a whole lot of weird surrounding everything about this game
Edit: The game studio announced they are shutting down now
I also had it wishlisted forever, but I had seen plenty of people commenting about how this developer group has a track record of over promising and under delivering. They also had changed the release timeframe several times, and even had a trademark dispute about the name with a calendar app that caused the game to be delisted from Steam.
The headline is about exposing your IP, which frankly isn’t that big of a deal. The actual article says it exposed your IP, and then includes arbitrary code execution as the after thought… Clearly the code execution is the massive vulnerability here lol
I don’t even understand how/why this game needs an online mode? There are only four playable characters. Give me four player couch coop and an optional online mode, and it will be the only game four people can play together in a room.
Spikes in activity are the norm for new leagues, Player retention is actually how we define the success of a league. But yeah so far it's looking good, especially now that some number tuning's been done.
