RIP Cybrix. May your legacy among many (including a chracter of mine) save many others in the future.

The change wasn't actually in response to his death - though may certainly have helped if it fell within that additional 10 second window. This is change I've been wanting to make for some time now.

Any reason to only increase it to 20 seconds? I don't see why you couldn't just leave people invulnerable until they take an action after changing zones. I guess there is a small potential to abuse thorns, but you could just negate thorns damage until the invulnerability ends.

Because is groups, that is very exploitable.

That is simply a matter of design.

If a solution is exploitable, you don't necessarily forget the solution, you adjust it so it isn't exploitable.

Yay another patch to cater for a streamer!

Can't tell if stupid or joking. This benefits everyone, not just him.

Can you still cancel the invulnerability by pressing a button while loading? That's the other half of the problem that needs to be fixed.

chris directly said that cybrix dying had nothing to do with this patch... I think he clicked around anyways so he would have still screwed himself over.

"This is change I've been wanting to make for some time now."

Because coding in a longer grace period is soooo hard, if he wanted to do it he would of. It is a response to his death to cater to their advertisers.

Yeah, because adding grace period gives him his level 88 hardcore character back.

Get out of here.

Increased the grace period of invulnerability when entering an area (which is cancelled when you perform any action) from 10 seconds to 20.

Reduced load times and reduced Invulnerability. duration


Can't you at last change it to: Cannot be killed so they take damage? This is heavily exploitable.

haters gonna hate

any measure to prevent deaths that are not the result of lack of actual in-game skill but rather the result of a technical fault of the game is welcome, even if it just so happens to follow some streaming guy's death.

This isnt a solution to the original problem, its an ineffective bandaid, and its almost a year late.

I hope the habit of putting major issues off for months at a time then randomly applying some half-baked fix comes to an end, and the sooner the better.

I made a thread considering this change.


Please abuse this to the fullest. Use fillers to kill bosses with this immortality, such as Piety Vaal in merciless with level 35 fillers. This should make it into the 10.6 patch.


I highly doubt that it was an idea "for a long time".

My idea is that somebody knowing about this exploit intrigued a dev to do this change.

I haven't found one area where a single monster comes up to you in 20 seconds from a waypoint, so I would advise stop porting in and out of bad areas.

Pools and streams \o/
