Trying to do the Math: AC vs. -DFE?

[lyyn]

And I completely forgot I did that. I do remember it being an easter egg, but I don't recall if it was ever brought to light.

Oops. I thought I was spilling some already very old and outdated beans there. My apologies if this was still news to someone.
My only excuse is, that I was having a lot of fun, so my mouth, ahem, fingers, just ran off. Sorry. That kind of stuff tends to happen to me . Well, that, and my own looong trail of ruined hardware.
I'm not exactly superstitious but sometimes I'm half convinced that I can cause a hard drive to fail by my mere presence. One drive I lost has some irreplaceable personal videos on it, so I actually looked into services offering data recovery. The problem is that nobody uses them, unless they really really want/need their data recovered. So, of course, they charge outrageous fees targeted at companys, not consumers. I'm still hoping that it will get more reasonably priced over time.

Maybe it's me getting older\grumpier, but I tried playing D1 classic again. I got as far as clvl 20 Rogue (offline multi) before I just couldn't do it anymore, I'm too spoiled by HF jog in town feature.

Well, then we both seem to be old grouches , because lack of jog and - almost more importantly – Search, makes going back to CD annoying for me too.
Besides... No Wirtistopheles to kill... Naaah...
Speaking of which; since nobody seems to have the files:

Speaking of HF:F again though, do any of you guys know if the other MS bug was fixed? The one where higher level MShield would actually decrease the 33% Damage Reduction?

I've been asking myself the same question.
The readme only says “Two MS-related bugs fixed”. Did your tests indicate anything? Yes, I know, disclaimer.. unreliable... but still; did your results lean in one direction? Or did unreliable mean inconclusive?

Edit:
On second thought, inconclusive is ok too. It might mean that at least the damage doesn't increase. I hit a lot of Enchanted Shrines so while MS functioning as it should would be nice, I would happily settle for "stays constant"
