Ladder Season Four: Bug Fixes?

[Ax2Grind]

Is the dual-ethereal bug, with regard tothe Horadric Cube recipe, fixed? I don't want to waste a Thul right now testing it on a one-point-from-perfect embossed plate, for a chance at three sockets, and figured someone else may have already.

Also, has anyone else noticed the poisitoning for Blessed Hammer changed? Seems harder than last season, but then I might just be rusty and forgetful.

I can tell you nothing has been patched or modified at the same time as the ladder change. I think however that bug is fixed but I'm not quite certain which one you're referring to.

[Rune-Templar]

No patch was released along with the Ladder reset, so the eth socketing bug should still be present. I haven't been paying much attention to hammerdins, but I'm pretty sure the hammer animation is unchanged as well.

Harder to aim when you can't telestomp isn't it?

uhh, i know some things got fixed, such as the eye farming/ a5 hack in classic becaus eive hear dmany people whining about it (btw i play classic0 so no more baal for the hackers. YAY!

[Voorhees]

Yeah I heard about people in classic getting into act 5. Was it possible to get exp drops? That would have been mega lame.

Good, because you shouldn't be using those programs anyway. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure blizzard did not have a hand in this.

Please note that using hacks and our trade forums is an insta-ban offense.

Nope. The eth-glitch still works just fine. I'm assuming that's what you're talking about. Cube socket an eth armor, eth bonus re-applies? It still works fine. Blizzard has known about this for a long time, and they're not making any motions to fix it. "Working as intended", perhaps? :laugh: So yeah, you're fine. *crosses his fingers for 3os*

The eye farming hack was cleaned up well before the Ladder reset. Blizzard got on that one pretty quickly. That was before they 'fixed' the public dupe method, IIRC. The Act 5 hack, as I read in the Classic forum - wasn't entirely fixed. Or perhaps that has changed, since the last time I visited those threads. They were saying that it prevented new players from going to Act 5, but that ones who had already gone (thus activating their Harrogath WP) could go back freely. I hope they've fixed that since, but that was the last word I heard on it. Prevented from happening any MORE, but those who have already exploited it are free to continue exploiting it. Lame. Which is why I'm glad I don't play Classic.

GOOD. Sorry to be so blunt about it, but... :hanky:

Use MapHack and Pickit? I'm glad they don't work, and I hope you're punished for using them. Honestly, the requisite audacity to whine about your HACKS not working is just... staggering. Ponderous, man. Simply ponderous.

I doubt even blizzard will say that the eth glitched bug is working as intended. It happened when they implemented the "fix" to upgraded unique armors. Armors that were ethereal and unqiue when upgraded would lose their eth bonus. To adjust their flawed formula, blizzard just added it back in at the end. However, in the process they did it to the other formulas and now when we random socket ethereal items we get an extra 50% (since that one wasn't screwed up and they 'fixed' it too). For once, a useful bug to help out players.:grin:

In the past, they usually patched bugs that helped players and left the ones that hurt them (mana burn bug, bugged souls, trangs, vipers, LCS, etc). Now, I don't think they care enough to patch anything but major exploits, so I'd say everything is working is it is going to.

[bloodngore]

voorhees, to answer your question no you could not get expansion items such as say an occulus or runes, but you could socket uniques which in normal classic is impossible. and to my knowledge the chars that exsploited this bug b4 it was patched can still exploit it, but the ones who were created after/ never did it cannot go to act5. yes this leaves baaling an option in classic non ladder but makes it impossible in ladder. truly there are very few non ladder classic players so its not such a big deal.

..Talking about crying :laughing:

Bots are competing in the ladder so I think more fixes are needed.
