Diablo 2 Maphack 2018
Permanently closed over 112,000 of these accounts and documented the CD keys with which they were used. Way to go Blizzard!! Now all those cheaters can just create another character and continue cheating!! But honestly, no where before signing up does it ever say that a player will be permanently banned for cheating (e.g. Make them buy a new game by not letting their cd key play) I would raise hell and want a $50 check in the mail if Blizzard canned me from the site, consumer laws apply to everyone, not.
I still can't see why they couldn't have gone through and deleted duplicated or 'bugged' items on the servers automatically. Give each item a unique id; every night check to see if the unique id turns up in more than one inventory; delete all but one. The fact that they haven't conjures up various conspiracy theories, or (in my opinion the more likely option) demonstrates that they really don't care that much about the problem despite their press releases.
Further, the two years without a patch, despite the myriad insecurities brought to light, gives further evidence of a lack of caring. Again, despite their PR face. While this new 1.10 patch which will rejuvenate the game and all will be most welcome (presuming it ever comes), this in no way precluded security fix patches in the interim. Patching and server-side item clean-ups would have been much more effective and much more welcome than the rare and irregular account purging that they seem to engage in instead.

Forgive me for asking, but why SHOULD they care? Diablo 2 has been out for three years and the expansion has been out for two. Now, I'll examine whether or not they do indeed care: Since the game's release, people have been able to play through the entire game easily offline (in other words, no significant bugs that prevent such), they've been able to do matchmaking on battle.net AND they've even been able to play games hosted on battle.net servers. During that time, they've also been provided with new special items, enhancement and correction of unbalanced skills and repair of the serious playability bugs that existed. Even more relevant, Blizzard is STILL trying to address the problem of cheaters as is clearly evidenced by THIS STORY.
In short, Blizzard cares more about Diablo 2, a product over two years old that is now being sold at discounted prices, than most companies care about games in their first month of release. More importantly, they're demonstrating that they care about the people who are still playing by getting rid of cheaters and providing better customer care than some of the companies running MMORPGs which you actually have to pay monthly fees to play. Even shorter: You're wrong. Forgive me for asking, but why SHOULD they care? Diablo 2 has been out for three years and the expansion has been out for two.
Nothing to forgive. Of course they're not obliged to care (though it'd be nice of course.) If they don't care, but claim that they do in press releases, then it is a bit hypocritical, which is generally regarded as a bad thing. Regarding the rest of your comment though, Blizzard really haven't done much at all for the game since since 2001. While they claim to be addressing the problem of cheaters, this claim is belied by their actions. To reiterate: very occasional account purges are not a very effective way of dealing with the problems of Battle Net.
With the exception of the new features in the 1.10 patch, Blizzard do seem to have done the bare minimum possible to keep Diablo II running on Battle Net. Given they're still selling the game, making a profit on it etc. While touting the secure on-line play as a feature, it really does seem reasonable that they should be obliged to do exactly that. Again, while it would be nice if they did more, this is all we can really expect. Oh, save they they did promise regular new runewords, craft recipes and the like that never did eventuate.
The 1.10 patch stuff though, I concede, has been taking resources that Blizzard didn't have to commit. Until the recent round of QA testing, it seems they've had one employee working on it for the last 18 months.
In absolute terms this is a non-trivial amount of money, but it does sort of pale in comparision to the ongoing profits Blizzard are making in new sales. No judgement from me here on this issue. In short: if they cared as much as they claimed to, there would be regular patching of security problems with the game, and the cloned and bugged wreckage of the online economy would never have been an issue.
They would have also followed through on their promises of game maintenance (eg, runewords etc.) Conclusion: they're less committed than they claim. Battle.net is still a free service. Why hasn't Diablo 2 gotten a lot of attention/bugfixes/patches by Blizzard over the last year or so? Not many people are buying Diablo 2. So how does Blizzard pay an army of developers to fix the problems in Diablo 2? Well, either from the company coffers or the profits of some other game. If I were Blizzard, would I commit more than a few developers to these issues?

Would I claim I was battling cheaters when I deleted over a hundred thousand cheater accounts from my. 'Regarding the rest of your comment though, Blizzard really haven't done much at all for the game since since 2001.' That's a little thing we all like to call 'crunch time for War3,' and then a few months later, its expansion. You may say, 'Yeah, well, that was Blizzard Irvine; Blizzard North developed Diablo II,' but.
They don't round up the entire development team of a certain game to work on a patch. I'm pretty sure noone does. They gather a handful of people from either company who work bit by bit, a. It's all about public relation.
Blizzard is known in the online gamers community to 'allow' cheating and to not really care about it, in a couple of months ( years? ) they will sell World of warcraft, a MMORPG where cheating is forbidden, so they have to show 'hey look we are taking care of cheating, we are banning them!' I used to play diablo2 pre extension ( mind you it has been 2years now ) and they were already cheats/hacks around, I have reported one bug / hack ( I am not the only one, basically ev. Items do have unique IDs. This was introduced in 1.09 I believe, maybe 1.08. That's one of the big problems, how late this solution was.
All the Stone of Jordans (the currency in D2 because in classic you could basically buy them and they are extremely rare.) The other is that the dupers have found ways around this. Especially items that the dupers create, although I have no idea how they create completely new items. Unfortuantely, I don't think they could server-side item clean. This task would be beyond d.
Aashiqui 2 movie song mp3. This task would be beyond daunting. They don't even seem to have or want to devote teh resources to cleaning up inactive accounts. To sweep through the?millions?
Of accounts and cross-check the 20-30 items average each has would be insane. No it wouldn't.
There are several algorithms that would make this a simple thing to code. The actual running of the program (or query, as it's probably a database on the back end) would take some time, but it's not like they're under any deadline except one they set f. Great, they delete hacks and dupes only, then those players just hack and dupe more stuff, no lesson learned. Deleting the account sends a STRONG message, especially if Blizzard makes good on threats of banning keys.
If you steal something, and they just take the item that you stole, you'll just do it it again, if they stick you in jail, you MIGHT learn a lesson. (or a more apt example for bnet, if you're the towns drunken jerk, taking off your pants in public and offering crack to school children, if th. They're being a bit silly there.
From playing occasionally, I can vouch that about 1/2 of the people who still play Diablo 2 (so much time after it was first released) use maphack as a convenience. And I think that most of these will simply stop playing if maphack is disabled.
So one of two things. Either: 1) They're trying to scare people, cause they can't really do shit to detect maphack actually, or 2) They don't want to support D2 anymore and are trying to chase away all those people who still play to decrease the load on their servers (and hence how much it costs to maintain them) But if 2) is correct, then why are they bothering to release so many new features in 1.10? Which leaves possibility 1), or even possibility 3) (they're just stupid).
After the way Bungie snuffed out Myth 2, I can see your second point being much more concievable. I don't think that they care much, they have the money already and at this point, it's maintenence which every developer knows is not much fun. Adding all the new features might just be a way to get some of the minimal stuff out the door or to bring people back to the game, or perhaps to run out their last print of the game. Who knows, but I do not put much stock in the need to prevent cheaters in D2. 1) Maphack has nothing to do with PKing (not in my experience anyway), everything to do with getting maps (duh). 2) No one is forcing you to play until lvl 99.
Some people enjoy it. What kind of spoilsport are you to tell them they're wrong? Are they harming you? If Blizzard goes after cheats who use tradehacks and other evil things to rob people blind of their hard-earned equipment, GOOD.
These people get their enjoyment out of hurting other people. If Blizzard goes after people who use D2hackit to. 1) Maphack has nothing to do with PKing (not in my experience anyway), everything to do with getting maps (duh).
What a lot of drivel. Maphack's primary use is inventory-sniffing, that's why people get so attached to it. Rare are the BNet players who bother venturing into areas such as the Spider Forests where one actually NEEDS a map after they've gotten to the other side of them. The vast majority of players simply hang around open areas like Act 5 or do boss runs, and the only reason they use Maphack i. What a lot of drivel.

The vast majority of players simply hang around open areas like Act 5 or do boss runs, and the only reason they use Maphack is so they can immediately quit if anyone with hacked / super equipment hostiles them. While I can't argue about i. And I think that most of these will simply stop playing if maphack is disabled. You're kidding, right? I can't believe anybody who is still playing D2 after all this time would quit over maphack.
There are two big reasons I can think of that people use maphack:. Trying to see what other's equipment is. Come on, is this really that important?. Speeding up Mephisto/Baal Runs. Assuming anybody really does this that much anymore, it will be nerfed during the next patch anyway, as they've stated they. You're missing out on the main uses. I've actually never used it to look at other people's equipment - I don't give a shit about this use.
However, after doing all the damn acts so many times, I'm not interested in blindly finding my way around the act having to kill every one of the pesky little buggers in every corner. I happen to hate doing the Arcane Sanctuary in A2, it's my least favourite map. With maphack, good news, I don't have to anymore - I can find the right tomb without it. Maphack basically m.
It's not very hard to go into a game and ask someone to get you the waypoints you need. Hell, in rushes you go through the entire game, in all three difficulty modes, without getting a single waypoint. See, you and me have a completely different way of playing the game.
I used to do the same as you, but then I got bored of it. Now I got a bit quicker, skipping the parts which I know I don't like to spend more of my precious time on the parts which I know I like. I obviously am not hurting you since you wer. Because people like you (i.e. Rushers who've never even.seen.
large chunks of each tileset) are the ones who eventually get bored / lucky with their lot of endless runs for equipment and experience and then start selling things on eBay, spoiling the economy by maintaining dozens of mules worth of equipment for bartering and player-killing. You aren't even playing in the spirit of the game as-is. Blizzard rebalanced skills with each patch to make the game competitive for.everyone., and cutting off avenues. Mate, I saw every chunk of each tileset when Diablo 2 came out and I played it plenty for several months first in single and then in multi-player, until I had seen so much of each tileset that I could still see it when I blinked. I've probably seen more of each tileset than you have. As for ebay, I don't sell shit and, like you, I think people who do (and especially people who buy diablo 2 equipment on ebay) are cunts (the sellers) and idiots (the buyers).
I have 4 characters in one account, and none of th. I don't like rushing either except under certain circumstances.
Unless I'm making a character for a very specific purpose (for instance right now I'm making a nova-sorc for the specffic purpose of rushing other people because my other sorc just doesn't cut it), I try to at least play through the normal difficulty without rushing, because that's what's fun about diablo 2. So far, out of 4 characters in this latest round of diablo-2 playing (having lost the account I used a few months ago, as I can't remember. I never said I was representative.
What I'm implying is that the 'bad' people who need to be controlled are not 'the people who use maphack', but 'the people who use other cheat programs'. So banning people who use maphack is stupid. I thought your original point was that tons of people would stop playing if map-hack was disabled (in some way, via bans or whatever). That's what I was questioning (being a few months removed from playing much on bnet I am not even necessarily disagreeing, just questioning).
Im was playing 100% legit this ladder and i usually find any door before other player in each game, always they said, maphack? Then i say LOL xD there are pro players and noob players, no excuse guys, atm i think diablo 2 is out of hacks, lot of people getting (8) accounts and blizzard disable cd-keys. So people now dont wanna risk his money you can continue crying about pro players cheating bla bla bla but truthly lvl 91 top ladder 3 days? Lol bots should be lvl 97.
^^ also games are selling crap items like monarch or trang gloves, last ladder for eg in 2 days they was selling ists and other hrs So if you think someone uses tricks, prove it remember that our masterpiece is 18 years old and people playing more than 6-10 years each reset.
