That’s 25% your first month or your first year, depending on the subscription you choose. This project has been a complete emotional rollercoaster. Had some stressful times when we had to go back to the drawing board but I'm very relieved with how it ended up concluding. This game is really something :D Thank you for watching!

[@LocalIdentity1]

I thought about implementing the other caps for stats but thought no one would really hit them so it wasn't too important. Life regen hits the same cap as DoT skills cause the actual stat is base_life_regeneration_rate_per_minute, similar to DoT skills that are calculated per minute. The other stats that use per minute are: All dot damage, life/mana/es, degens, leech rate, skill costs per second (link skills etc.)

The reason why it's 35791396 and not 35791394 is likely due to a floating point precision error. The number is probably converted to a float for display purposes. I made a small program to test it and got similar results.

[@Empyriangaming]

I don’t understand what that is but I will chose to believe you, sounds cool. 😎

[@bucket3924]

@@Empyriangaming fancy (or proper) way of saying that the computer cannot round numbers properly.

[@INeedANewHandle]

@@Empyriangaming floats are numbers with commas, like 7.5 or 1235125.7753243 Handling commas, decimals, rounding up and converting to integers is part and parcel of coding, and it sucks ass due to how awfully inconsistent it can be, and how it can change the results of any piece of code you put out.

[@ivolakit]

Floats have lots of precision with small numbers but effectively the bigger the number the less precision it’ll have. You can look up tables of how imprecise each float is depending on scale of number! There’s a recent video about 0 a button presses by pannenkoek that talks about float precision in a super easy to understand way

[@Jpeg-yz4xj]

If "wasting" a couple mirrors isnt worth finding another CAP...then I dont know what is. Good job guys, no cap. well actually, cap!

[@lowkey_Ioki]

Fun fact: at that regen and armor, you could survive ~21000 crit shaper slams per second. Each slam would do about 1700 damage. Shaper would have to attack once per: 0.00004 seconds 0.04 milliseconds 40 microseconds

[@aspidinton]

funny

[@sober667]

if you had enough effective HP to survive one XD Still cool fact Unless you convert it to DOT

[@flo1921]

For 400 nanoseconds server tick rate you probably need to live in cris Wilsons basement

It would be 40 microseconds, or 40,000 nanoseconds, not 400 nanoseconds.

Thank you Empy and the rest of the guys for doing these every league. So much fun to watch you guys testing different stuff every league

[@TheGreytinator]

To your point at 39:00 That exact thing happened to me this league. I farmed Sanctum SUPER hard and bought my first Mageblood ever. I played with it for for like 2 hours, and then I stopped playing PoE and haven't picked it back up since.

[@S1xEyes]

Always cool hearing markus and bazuka explain the mechanics of how a project works. This one was a real rollercoaster of a story but it had such a great finale. Looking forward to more stuff next league

[@winniethewhor]

In regards to the fun facts about overflowing, Life Regen and Life *degen* are the same stat in the game. The regen cap is the same as the DoT cap because it's calculated as a single number - either positive or negative.

[@Empyriangaming]

But it’s not the same number :D regen is 2 more than dotcap

[@maxevans5611]

@@Empyriangamingit’s cause they’re linked, but they’re not centred on 0 they’re centred on 1 I think. Eg: Let’s SkillCDR has a range of 100 and is centred on 0 it would be -49% to 49%. The 0 and the - taking 2 of the spots. But if it was centred on 1 it would be -48% to 50%. Only real guess I have

[@ourgaht]

​@@Empyriangaming The way whole number (integer type) works in informatic, there is a difference of 1 between of the absolute value of the minimum and the maximum an integer data type can hold (range on af int, common data type, is from -2 147 483 648 to 2 147 483 647 for example). If life regen and degen (i.e. dot) are indeed the same stat, perhaps they display the absolute value to the player, but internally, one is positive and the other negative ? This could explain a difference of 1, as for the other 1 missing, there is many possibilities, I would say it's a rounding error, if it's always rounded to below, which PoE does for many things, maybe it also rounds down the negative value, effectively added one when displaying the absolute value ? This would imply a weird order of operation though... Just my hypothesis, without looking at the code we can never be sure, but it's fun to speculate !

[@hobodohlansteve8795]

@@Empyriangaming If only the difference was 1 instead of 2, it could be explained by that signed integers negative and positive caps aren't identical, usually off by 1 on the high end. "A signed integer is a 32-bit datum that encodes an integer in the range [-2147483648 to 2147483647]" But since it doesn't overflow there's for sure some logic in place to make sure it stays within bound. The number could be a floating point number since the usual integer bounds don't really match up unless there's an arbitrary cap.

[@StereoxAS]

The project is actually ended well and wholesome to watch GGNoobs

Last project life regen was only 700k regen. This is nuts... props to the team! sorry about the wasted mirrors though...

[@chandlergordon8878]

legit lol at 32:48 that the fire mastery tailor made for your build is less impactful than the one worst lesser node. this project was a celebration of number design.

[@some_other_guy]

around 29:50 you have the revelation that there's a "regen cap" slightly higher than the dot cap. I'd like to think that ggg always wishes us to succeed, even pushed to the limit you'll come out on top. I'm also very stoned. Crazy vid and thanks for the effort from all involved to once again to push this game to the absolute limit.

I love watching these videos as i desperately farm oshabi in ssf, its such a fascinating difference of gameplay and stuff

[@FrankTheTank369]

Thank you for taking the time to bring us this content and thank you to the whole group who helped..love this!!

[@TheSarkGaming]

Hey, Empy! I have an idea of the short project for you, with a code name "The Touch of God". The main target is to get the biggest /kills number in one attack. The rules: You can use on-death effects, you can't use DoTs. This should be just one attack of any kind. Guys if you are interested - make Empy see this message. Also one more project idea, without codename for it: to tank the biggest hit possible. This would be probably a standard project as the goal is to scale the incoming damage so the incomming hit would be bigger than the default damage possible. And once again, guys - if you like it, please push it up!

[@m01t4123]

We did something like this in the soul eather project when we had to grup mobs in maps , not in a single hit but its sill similar. Markusz tanked bob and the discharge char from the manhattan project ( Most dps ever achived/biggest hit ever achived). There is no single mob in the game that can do more damage then players. Dont stop having ideas tho

[@AAGEnzee]

This was very cool, anytime you find a new stat cap it's super cool, but part of me wants to see you do an 'effective' regen project at some point. i.e. constant and sustained regen, so you could actually stand in sirus storms and such like you mentioned. It still wouldn't be 'realistic' for anyone, but I'm curious how high you can get a constant regen rate to.

[@freydawg56]

Owning mistakes shows good class. Great attitude. Ty for all the content.

[@sni18per]

i like how these projects are both fun AND educational. mythbusting many vague and unclear poe interactions.

[@toomarc]

What about a 1 shot project? there is a Dot Cap, but is there a Direct DMG cap? And how do those caps compare to boss hps? Or a direct dmg with dot component. Target to kill all bosses with 1 instance of 1 activated non perpetual ability. (RF for example would not count as it is sustaining)

[@fich01]

I stopped playing PoE like 5 years ago because it ate into my free time too much, and these videos still don't get old.

[@LehLehich]

how much resolve mitigation is 20m+ armour?

[@hellowill]

it is integer limit if you convert to per minute. I guess the +2 is because the game ticks don't quite convert to an exact minute/second? Or floating point?

[@1990erre]

Classic PoE, never stack the stat you are actually trying to increase!

[@ironjade8666]

@Empyriangaming The reason for the +2 on positive DoT cap is that; 0 counts as an integer and -1 is the start for negative DoT. Therefore negative DoT cap will be the same minus 2 to account for the integer 0 and -1 as the starting point. To summarize: DoT Cap - 1-35791396 Neg DoT Cap - 0 - -35791394

[@erasmus7061]

That DoT limit is interesting. PoE servers tick at 30 times per second, but that DoT limit is really close to MAX_INT / 60. My guess is that they wanted to limit DoT damage to 2B (MAX_INT) per second, but didn't adjust that limit to account for a server tick rate lower than 60.
