Dividing by exactly 0 is undefined because it's approaching either + or - infinity and diverging. But in this case we're clearly approaching the limit of 0 from strictly the positive side and the intuitive result is to approach + infinity. Just my opinion. It's your game. You can do what you want. But I don't think it's strictly incorrect to colloquially say infinity in this case?

Dividing a number by zero is asking "how many times can we take zero away from this number before it's all gone". Taking infinity zeros away from the number still won't do that, any more than taking zero away once will - infinity isn't really a more "correct" answer than one.

The answer is "there is no such value" - which in mathmatical terms is "undefined".

To put it another way, saying that, say 100 divided by zero is infinity means you're saying that infinity times zero is 100. This isn't true regardless of which infinite number you're meaning by "infinity" (which is not itself a number but a concept).

There are some more in-depth answers here some of which go into why treating the answer as a positive or negative infinite number can still end up at contradictions (the...

We could but have no reason to - an infinite duration is not a correct result of that operation.

Permastun Warlord's Mark build (Link)

The idea is to stack curse effect and curse gem levels until you get 100% reduced stun recovery time. The stun equation has this subtracted from 100 on the divisor. This means your stuns will last 0.3 / 0 seconds, or infinity seconds (against non-bosses).

This build would also test the theory that getting 20% or more additional chance to stun from WM would mean literally any damage has a chance to stun, since every instance of damage would breach the 20% threshold.

Would probably delve pretty good.

For the record, reduced stun/block recovery caps at 99% reduced since 2.1.1 (prior to which this caused a crash).

Dividing by zero does not mathematically give infinity, rather the result is undefined.

Last year we released new annual Core Supporter Packs which have been received very well by our community. In addition to exclusive microtransactions and physical items, the highest tier of the current Core Supporter Packs includes a pack of signed concept art prints. Today we've gathered some of the pieces of the Core Supporter Packs concept art to give you an idea of what to expect from these prints.

This makes sense because the issues started EXACTLY the day after 1 month into the league.

We haven't downscaled the website servers in a long time.

We are actively investigating this problem.

Hello! This is my submission for the talent competition. (At least, this is my first submission. I'm sure I'll do more, because making this was a ton of fun).

Hope you enjoy it, and welcome back /u/bex_ggg!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! (Special thanks for your work on the Alien gif from yesterday!)

I figured I could time this to the day (or I guess when she sees this, the day after) Bex comes back :D Welcome back Bex!!! For the uninitiated, this is Bex's twitter avatar, which I believe is a drawing she did :) Very beautiful, and very fun to try to capture in this style.

One more post to go! Hope to see you guys tomorrow for it :) Thank you for the support you guys have given me so far. I read every single comment and many warmed my heart <3

Wow this is so awesome! Way better than the original. I feel really humbled. Thanks so much.

For everyone asking for Rhykker's interview, it shouldn't be too much further away. We are currently clearing the backlog of video content to release but something that adds an unexpected amount of time is creating subtitles for each video so that we can share them in each language. We are super aware of everyone's interest in this particular interview and are keen to get it out as soon as we can! Sorry for the delay.

It's been two months since ExileCon, which became one of the most memorable events of 2019 for us (hopefully for you too!). We've finally managed to go through a massive amount of footage recorded at the convention, and have montaged it into a short video with highlights from the ExileCon weekend. We hope you enjoy it!



Check out our ExileCon playlist if you're interested in watching presentations given by our developers at the convention. We'll release the rest of the talks over the coming weeks.
