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

It could let you load up on magic find and DPS and farm much more efficiently. This bug won't last long enough for it to matter though.

[Htown]

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

Hey.

If you can see all of the content without playing with someone else, it's a single player game.

[half a moon]

So how fucked will this make the RMAH economy?

It'll be hotfixed because of mass knowledge.

The real question is how long has this been known and kept secret? Because that's a big advantage.

My 9k dps kills stuff incredibly slowly. It's not viable to farm act 3 or 4.

I guess all the people who can't farm act 3 or 4 can go deck out a 60 wizard with pure int and farm it until it's hot fixed. They might get all shit drops.

I quit the game, just wanted to get an azmodan and diablo kill since my profile shows 300 hours or whatever invested.

[Grayman]

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.

turbine did draw a line with anything that destabilized servers like duping. i think they went as far as banning at a credit card or ip address level for one instance in the later years of the game. On the other hand they had funny things like the switch from MSN zone to turbine billing allowing the recovery of perma banned accounts like animal on FF.

[Mister Saturn]

ROFL, animal came back to Frostfell? I'm sad I missed that :*(

Yeah, I can understand the duping.

[WinFonda]

The real question is how long has this been known and kept secret? Because that's a big advantage. .

I bet this was kept secret for a long while.

[Soi-Fong]

Just tried it it works. Really crazy..

[BigDug13]

Yeah I just wonder how many wizards exploited this before the cat got out of the bag. Ground zero wizard could have been doing this for weeks. Should have continued to keep it quiet and raked in thousands of dollars.

[MutFox]

Some wizard is tanking us through...
Gonna finish this game tonight and never play again. :D
Gotta work in the morning, but this might be worth it...

[Loofy]

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.

Well farming isnt fun to begin with. Its like those people in casinos sitting on the VLT machines for hours and hours... the only satisfaction comes from what you get, not actually beating something.

[Soi-Fong]

Anybody mind friending me for this? I haven't made it into act 3 or 4 yet. I'm a lv 60 wiz so if you wantto.

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.

It's always online DRM, it's not a feature. Again it's a single player game that happens to have to have co-op.

[Radec]

The AH/RMAH is the reason why DIII is online-only.

Talking about security, it works. Money is involved and having all item drop/roll rates on their servers are very important and the only way to go.

We only are getting these glitches/exploits because of Blizzard's lack of thorough testing on the game.

[MutFox]

Killed Diablo on Inferno in a 4 person group...
Done with this game.

[:Motorbass]

So this took 10s of Millions of players two months (+Beta ~) to find and people are blaming Blizzard for not testing properly?

[michaelius]

Why do you bother?

It's just another Diablo 3 hate thread ;)

[nasos_333]

So for once, the game is balanced in favor of the players?

In favour of the few players that know how to activate it probably

[Backfoggen]

Wish I had a level 60 wizard now so I could finally finish Inferno.

[Yoshichan]

Horrible.

[Radec]

So this took 10s of Millions of players two months (+Beta ~) to find and people are blaming Blizzard for not testing properly?

So who's to blame ?

Us paying-beta testers?

:P

[Xanathus]

It's telling that even with this exploit Diablo isn't a good enough game to continue playing.

[linkent]

Killed Diablo on Inferno in a 4 person group... Done with this game.

THIS!!

Was stuck in act 3 phase beast for so long..
Used the exploit an hour ago..
Finished both act 3-4..

Bye Diablo3
Hope it will be better after patch..

Edit: wrong quote :P

Why is this even a debate? I can't believe always-online-DRM is being confused for multiplayer game-mode.

[Soneet]

Lv52 wiz gone. Do not accidentally press that teleport key! (I even knew that, still pressed it)

Wiz victim count so far:

Lv52
Lv48
Lv30
LV52

Good thing I refused to put my end-game Wiz gear on the wiz even if she could wear it D:

(Hardcore only player)

[MrHicks]

whats the allure AT ALL for loot in this game though without pvp?
in MMO's loot is desirable cause it lets you "PWNZORZ" others easier

but with this game?
you can more easily kill the CPU?
fuuuuun?

the hell is this

[Cipherr]

Well not everyone likes a PvP endgame believe it or not. I want a fun PvE endgame, couldn't care any less about fighting other players in some square room over and over and over. That stopped being fun for me after DAoC. But D3 has no fun endgame PvE right now either so.

As for the bug, it definitely works, but does anyone care? I have a 60 Wiz DH Monk and Barb, and not even invulnerability can get me to play this game regularly. Its still not fun even if you cant die and can run around in max MF.

That's extremely telling... Whats worse though, is that this bug has been in the game since launch. Its probably just now leaking because the botters and gold sellers have realize the market is bone dry and noone is really buying anything. The market is completely shite right now, so I guess we will start finding out what tricks they used to farm gold/items and inflate everything to hell.

[universalmind]

So this took 10s of Millions of players two months (+Beta ~) to find and people are blaming Blizzard for not testing properly?

Tens of millions?

[Wafflecakes]

Tens of millions?

Eh its possible its close to 20 million me thinks.

How is that telling? Few games are fun with god mode

[sykoex]

Speaking of PVP, I really wonder how that'll affect the community. If people are already complaining that they feel pressured to use the RMAH to beat some NPC boss, I can't even imagine the fit they'll throw when they think the only way to progress in PVP is to use the RMAH.

[Dreavus]

So this took 10s of Millions of players two months (+Beta ~) to find and people are blaming Blizzard for not testing properly?

This is what I find hilarious too. Love that the youtuber just has to get his RMAH jabs in while showing off how to do the trick.

[StayDead]

This'll be patched by the end of the day/hotfixed. If not it'll be done tommorow. Stuff like this always crops up during Blizzard games and it gets fixed pretty quick.

[Delusibeta]

The AH/RMAH is the reason why DIII is online-only.

It's also why it's a bad game.

[Basileus777]

Eh its possible its close to 20 million me thinks.

Not a chance. A month and a half ago it was at 6 million shipped.

[ElyrionX]

It's telling that even with this exploit Diablo isn't a good enough game to continue playing.

You're tired of the game already as well?

[aznpxdd]

Yay, more things to fuck up the economy. Whatever, this just means more $$$ for Blizz from the RMAH.

[Gez]

It's also one of many reasons why it's a bad game.

Fixed.

[sleepykyo]

Everyone rolled Wizard?

Seems to a be similar bug to roll canceling in Capcom v. Snk 2, where canceling a roll into a special move granted the strike invincibility over to the special move. It took 6 months, after the Japanese players knew about the technique, to reach US players. And that was due to US players returning from a vacation in Japan.

Odds are some wizards have been sitting on the info for a while.

[Jexhius]

It seems to be no longer working for me. After I finished off Diablo and I started a new game it was no longer working.

[godelsmetric]

It's telling that even with this exploit Diablo isn't a good enough game to continue playing.

Why on Earth would you expect the game to be more fun if there's no challenge at all?

[BGBW]

Obvious warning: you may or may not get temp banned if you use exploits.

Remember when glitches were fun things to do. Now they are called exploits and you are deemed the scum of the universe for playing with them. Sad times.

[Finaika]

Why on Earth would you expect the game to be more fun if there's no challenge at all?

It's not as if there aren't legitimate complaints, either!

How is that telling? Few games are fun with god mode

Its telling because I have played both sides. I was once under geared, then I got my gear, beat the game with two characters. I experienced every angle, from undergeared to god mode, and everything in between, and there is still nothing there thats entertaining for the PvE end game.

Absolutely nothing.

People jump on every opportunity to hate on this game.

Dude what? I have been waiting for, and playing the hell out of this game since it dropped. Theres no way I dont have more hours played than most. And I thoroughly enjoy the mechanics and will be back as soon as they create a worthy end game, but right now the endgame is in shit shape. People arent saying "And its still not fun" as a way to suggest god mode was supposed to make it fun, we are saying that because its a demonstration of how nearly zero changes bugs or interesting glitches are able to turn the current state of the game into something even remotely enjoyable. Its more of a testament to how much they are going to have to shake things up in order to make the game last than anything else.

Jesus fucking Christ man, you guys gotta tone down the "They just wanna hate" stuff. Its annoying as hell. Cant say anything bad about the game without getting labeled a hater, which is odd considering the terrible shape the game is in right now.

[Impeccable]

That's just an opinion, I love loot games and the hunt for loot.

So, it's not telling at all then.

I can't off the top of my head think of any games that are fun with god mode.

There are games that are fun when they're broken.

But not when you're straight up invincible.

[Cipherr]

That's just an opinion, I love loot games and the hunt for loot.

Okay..... I mean I'm not going to argue if your loving the endgame in D3 right now. Enjoy I guess, but the shits in the toilet for most of us, I mean Blizzards forerunners didn't come out and make a public statement about the sad state of their endgame just on a whim, my opinion of the end game state right now is held by many including Blizzard themselves. And yes, my post was my own opinion.

[nasos_333]

Some people are about to become millionairs with this game, with zero effort :)

People jump on every opportunity to hate on this game.

I suppose this is happening because the developers did everything possible to make sure it will happen

I mean turn a single player franshise to online only, not handle the multiple connection problems and generally make headaches for gamers, when gaming is supposed to be fun and nothing else

[Perkel]

People still play this ?

I was once diehard fan of diablo2 and 3 killed any "fan" inside me.
My friend was nolive hardcore diablo2 fan and he dropped it 1 month after me.

Gameplay is ... mediacore.
Story is bad.
Loot is bad.
Auction house is dizaster.
No PvP.

Bugs are least of problems.

People jump on every opportunity to hate on this game.

That's what you get when you deliver completly difrent game than D2 was. It was revolution not evolution.
They should name it diffrent and start new IP.

And that's really wasn't unpredictable. People who created Diablo1/2 almost all of them weren't involved in this project. Main music creator works for people who create Torchlite 2 (dat music) few of people codeveloped torchlite few of them titan quest.

Reason is also fun:(via Wiki)

On August 1, 2005, Blizzard Entertainment announced the closure of Blizzard North. A key reason for the closure was Blizzard North's poor development of what was to be Diablo III which did not meet the expectations of Vivendi.

and there is this video showing what diablo 3 looked like in 2005

[V_Arnold]

It's not as if there aren't legitimate complaints, either!

Having a bug discovered for a few hours, however, is not one of them.
And if it was hidden, then it was the greedy players abusing an error for personal gain, not Blizzard's fault. But anyway.

People still play this ?

Yes, they do. Deal with it : )
