Diablo2, Fixed Again?

Where can I find the thread where I can make fun of D2 players?

I read the note as "This is not the thread that makes D2 fun"...

I need help.

Well I bought D2 over BG2 a couple weeks ago, im pretty happy with my purchase too. Im just totally addicted trying to find better items for my char. I never trade either. <-- 100% legit.

probably involves fooling the server into thinking you tossed an item out of your inventory and left it onthe ground whenyou really still have that same item in your stash....
duping back when d2 was realeased was amazingly eazy.. and i accidently duped items.. i get disconnected.. i'd rejoin and find i still had the same items and who i traded it to had it to..
they fixxed that problem...
only way i can see blizzard tracking down dupers is having the realm keep a item log on EVERYONE....
but for the 100k users that would involve massive efforts

When it first came out, I knew that this would happen, but it hasn't stopped me from buying the game and playing with my friends. However, I never play on the realm, and don't bother playing with people I don't know.

Let's face facts, though, if a game is popular, cheats will rear their ugly head. It's inevitable. Diablo, Counter-Strike, Ultima Online... It doesn't matter how good the programmers are, it doesn't matter how cutting-edge the technology is, there will always be a way to exploit software. Nothing is unhackable.

It's sad to think that it's never going to be possible to offer non-cheaters a special membership card for the shard or server that is as secret as what goes on at area 54, however. Granted, it would be a nice concept: something along the lines of the Anti-Cheater Gamer's Club (I am fully aware of how fruity it sounds, thank you very much) that would be a paying membership and would get the gaming companies to put up special servers for members only. Whoever would be caught cheating would automatically be banned from the club and have their membership revoked. I'd pay for such a service, maybe not a lot, but I'd be willing to pay for it. Maybe something like a TiVo subscription service... $10 a month, $100 a year or $200 for lifetime. If I had the money to invest in such a service, and the connections, I'd definitely consider doing it. I am not even close to having money or connections. Bah.

I guess I'm just talking out of my rear end now though, but a guy can dream...

I beat my diablo 2 addiction about 3 months ago.

Though I've been having the strangest itch lately.... hmm....

HAHAH, YOU PLAY D2. oops. so did I =(

maybe nobody really cares about item dupping too much, because they're all waiting for WoW, I know I am. :D

if it so f'ed up just quit the game and find something else.

btw, stop with the warcraft 3 comparisons and such. i'm pretty sure blizzard north (diablo series) is entirely different from the section of blizzard working on warcraft

I play on bnet all the time, I dont play with the public tho, just friends in private games...doesnt effect me much except that it has been SUPER FUCKING laggy the past few days...i hate people who do that kind of shit.

When does diablo 3 come out!

how does the hacking work? I mean isnt everything server side on bent?

Spent a fair amount of time getting to 99, and got me sum good items, went to go sell them on ebay, then that week a duping method came out. *poof* all of a sudden they worth nothing. Most annoying

Why don't you fools look into http://www.bnetd.org

Private Bnet servers completely at your control... hmm... who would have thunk?

item duper... banned. punk bitch... banned. 'nuf said.

Even better yet, the author of this particular hack gave blizzard
a week in advance to come out with a fix before he went public with
it... Blizzard deserved this one. They KNEW about it, and did NOT
take the initiative to fix it. That just shows the populace they
really don't care and are too blinded focused on warcraft3

What they need, and I hope more MMO games end up going to ... are multiple servers. You all start out on the standard one, if you advance and/or get recommended, you "upgrade" to the server that hosts all the people who are hard-core about the game. If you ever cheat, get caught cheating, get enough complaints, or whatever, you "downgrade" to the normal, or even further, to the "shitty" server.

This is delightful news as I am just about to start playing Diablo 2 as we speak.

I'm still playing d2 with the chix0r :)

My Duped WindForce is still on my character....

Those bozos over at blizzard have no clue.
What the problem is, they don't care about D2. They're done with it. Everyone who wanted a copy has already purchased it. They got your money, now they want you to buy the peice of junk they call W3. When they get your money on that, they'll be done whith that one. They like to think that when they are 2 years behind schedule on a project, they are doing us a favor by making a superior product, but accually they are just jacking us around.
DO NOT BUY BLIZZARD PRODUCTS!

Well... if we can't make fun of Diablo 2 players can we at least make fun of CS players?

i think that they should nuke everything, and start over. im sure they care about the people who will stop playing, seeing as blizzard gains nothign from this service.

haha reminds me of the ultima online dupes when that first started.. used to crash the server.

Haha, i like steve's little disclaimer.

I really liked Diablo 2, but once I beat it on every difficulty setting it got bore.

Well damnit lets make a thread where we can make fun of D2 players!

I started playing this game last week and I surprised myself... I like it!

I saw this coming :) Ive been posting about it for a few days :)

heh i think in the midst of warcraft III, blizzard is kinda giving up now. Their ideas and efforts were great, until people had time to really look @ how it was set up. Back when the dual leech rings and 150 dam perfect bows / etc were being duped it all started, then it ceased fire w/ 1.09 and LoD, but I quit soon after LoD (hardcore became WAY TOO EASY, my entire venture to avoid peons was thwarted as everyone had a level 90+ char). Now i look @ blizzard from time to time and it seems that they have been having lots of problems.

Oh well, warcraft III soon, and i'm currently willing to give some of the newer mmorpgs a try, maybe its time for diablo2 to die ;o

I am glad I didn't pick up D2 this weekend -- it was on sale for 19.99

I got sick of the cheating with HL and Counterstrike.

if this isn't the thread to make fun of d2 players, then where is that thread? :P

seriously though, through the readings i've done, blizzard is against a new realm because:

-realms are 2084208 servers, which means they have to take more money out of their pockets. since they're only making money from the software (i.e., no monthly fee) they are avoiding costs whenever they can.
-if we did get a clean realm, it'd only be a week until there are lvl 90 characters doing quick bloody/cow runs until everyone has the same items again

really, this game has had it's fun, and now since everyone's done the "actual game" thing it's all about power levelling and them mf'ing. maybe it's just time to start working on d3.

Well this happened in diablo 1, and then diablo 2 came out, and everyone was praising it cause there was no cheats, didn't take long to change that though. Now where is diablo 3? Perhaps they will install punkbuster in it or something. Ah well, I never liked diablo anyway, although I know lots of people have had fun with it.

Fixed? Not again!

Diablo 2? whats that?
