folks still play this game? lol

this game is dead. a lot of folks are leaving in droves...

[EmCeeGramr]

He's killing diablo with his eyes closed right now lol

it's not like you need an exploit for that

[Emitan]

Hahaha Diablo killed with his eyes closed.

[Loofy]

"Naked Diablo kill, get on my level"

That guys kinda funny.
"Get back here you slut" *referring to Cydaea
"You just saw diablo getting raped in the butt. I said what what, in the butt"

[jersoc]

yup, this works lol.

I love how any stream linked to on GAF gets the chat there talking about us.

haha I may or may not have incited some of it just for fun

[Gamer @ Heart]

If i discovered this, why share it? It will get fixed within days.

I bet few people knew about this for weeks and someone just blew the whistle.

[Wedge7]

Gonna go lvl a wizard

[grap3fruitman]

I wonder if they will start handing out bans for a single player game? What a clusterfuck.

Just play offline!

[Atilac]

that stream is getting ridicules...

[Aesthet1c]

You do realize how ridiculous this is right? Getting banned from a single player game.

Except it's not a single player game. Plus since it's all tied into the RMAH, I'm sure they will take it very serious with a hotfix within 24 hours, and temp bans all around.

[shaowebb]

Wait this is a loot drop game where you can sell your loot for REALWORLD money...oh god. Invulnerable loot collecting.

[Ghizz]

diablo 3 has fallen down a huge hole...can it RISE?

[Won]

Not a bug. It's a feature. Get it right!

[Gez]

Except it's not a single player game.

No it's a single player that happens to have co-op. Keep thinking its an MMO or "everyone played Diablo 2 online anyway"

[Takuan]

How can they ban for this?

I've been reading this a lot. Are there actual numbers, or is it based on internet forum posts? Genuinely curious. I have no doubt in my mind that many have quit and will probably not play again for a significant amount of time - one of my friends beat it on normal and was done with it afterward, and I imagine a lot of people fall in to this bracket - but there are still likely quite a few people playing.

It took them 12 years to figure out how to monetize Diablo. Congratulations, you succeeded Blizzard.

I agree with the bolded. I enjoyed what I played of the game and will continue to load it up occasionally to check out the changes, but the core content is not at all reflective of its time in dev. Maybe a quarter that, and even then I might be stretching it.

[Unknown Soldier]

Nothing like shortsighted greed to ruin everything as usual. The whole of D3 is designed around maximizing use of the RMAH by players. It took them 12 years to figure out how to monetize Diablo. Congratulations, you succeeded Blizzard.

[TheExodu5]

How can they ban for this?

Because it's an exploit. They ban people for using exploits in WoW as well.

[Madwall]

Diablo is 1/4 Horse confirmed

[Slayer-33]

How would they even know? lol..

[Acerac]

Diablo 3 is probably the only game I've ever tried that is more entertaining to not play. I got payed to play it and the constant fallout is amazing entertainment. AWESOME game.

[24FrameDaVinci]

Soooo I used the exploit and after a half hour I got bored. I can't even play it...

[Aesthet1c]

No it's a single player that happens to have co-op. Keep thinking its an MMO or "everyone played Diablo 2 online anyway"

It doesn't matter. This game is always online, and always connected to Blizzard's servers. With people's real money tied into the auction house, there is no way they will let stuff like this stand. Call it single player if you want, but you are playing this game on Blizzard's servers even if you are playing alone.

[Slayer-33]

Soooo I used the exploit and after a half hour I got bored. I can't even play it...

I'm so over this game :( and didn't want to...

Gah...

[Margalis]

Using the in-game abilities is an exploit?

"We meant fireball to do 10 damage but we accidentally typed in 100 instead - ban everyone using fireball!"

Maybe they should ban their programmers from working at Blizzard and hire new ones.

[squidyj]

again and again the same bullshit lines of thought, "IT'S A SINGLE PLAYER GAME" "IT'S AN RMAH CONSPIRACY"!

[Unknown Soldier]

They don't have any choice but to be aggressive against cheaters because of the RMAH, even if it's a glitch that doesn't require 3rd party programs to abuse. Blizzard made this bed so now they are going to lie in it, that's all.

[Mister Saturn]

That is actually pretty standard for Blizzard. They definitely took a page out of Verant/SOE's old book of, "You're in our world now and we will fucking ban you if we feel like it."

One of the reasons I've always had mad respect for Turbine, even when also hating some of their decisions, because they absolutely copped to exploits being their fault, instead of punishing the player.

I agree in a way but to me calling people "cheaters" when they use logical errors programmed into the game is kinda weak.

Patch the problem? Sure. Ban people for using it? Eh. At the very least everyone should be warned first.

[Radec]

Fantastic.

Now my Wiz can finally be able to break its Act 3 wall. :P

[Valnen]

This is the buggiest game in history.

Elder Scrolls games are 90% buggier.

[Nibel]

They will remove this, and with it other features - maybe the teleport ability?

[JJD]

I bet the guy who discovered this glitch has been using it for a couple weeks before he decided to make it public.

[Radec]

They will remove this, and with it other features - maybe the teleport ability?

or just add a 1-2second cooldown on skills after using teleport.

[Finaika]

Soooo I used the exploit and after a half hour I got bored. I can't even play it...

Do you honestly think it would be fun being invincible and destroying mobs after mobs after mobs without fear of being dead?

Of course it would get boring.

[BurnOutBrighter]

Gonna abuse this as much as I can before they patch it out. It's hard enough getting decent loot without worrying about dying anyway.

Did an act 3 clear and diablo kill all 5 stacks with 3 other friends, we got carried by our decked out wizard friend, all mf gear on (except him) and got shit loot.


LOL...

Puts shit in perspective.


I'm not wasting any more time on this game, I was away from it for like a month already.

[Boogalogist]

Power overwhelming.

LOL. What a fitting comment!


This game feature should've been posted before I went to work!! Then I woiuld've taken the day off and farm the whole day through!

[Rapstah]

They've temporarily banned entire guilds who beat bosses in unexpected bugged ways. If THIS bug were in WoW and allowed a guild to get the first kill of something major, someone would absolutely be banned.

[Chanser]

No way, Driv3r was buggier.

[THE NO LIFE KING]

True Crimes: Street of NYC says hello.

I lied, I stopped playing this game months ago. My friend got a voice role in Path of Exile so I've been giving that a shot.

[Slayer-33]

But gm's can track this stuff down easy on a game like WoW, I doubt this is easily trackable in D3.

[Basileus777]

Anarchy Online reformatted hard drives at launch.

How is this even possible?

[Drkirby]

So how fucked will this make the RMAH economy?

None, since just because you can't die doesn't make your chances of finding good items better.
