Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

I am only interested in one thing – did they really fix duping issues with this patch. I am calling all you experts who could read d2 files to give us any kind of information about if they managed to close all holes that were open for duping. How many of them are left?

I know that some of you here are good in reading these files and some of you are exploiting this game with duping. Give us some info. I hope Mods won’t ban you for admitting that you dupe items and post a useful info, because Blizz could still close those holes before official hits bnet.

Other changes don’t bother me as this crucial. If they really managed to fix duping, d2 will be a totally new game on bnet.
 
Re: Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

they say they fixed "a dupe bug", but whether they have permanently thwarted the dupers remains to be seen

But if you must have a response, the eightball reads "Don't count on it."
 
Re: Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

Mods will almost assuredly ban you if you admit to duping, and Blizzard doesnt read these forums so its also almost assured that anything that would be posted here would do no good anyway.

Also, the only files we can read are client-side, and dont have anything to do with duping, which is done by tricking the server-side software.

Why not? They could always make a new account here and post.

On the other hand, I don't understand their mind. Why would they do such a thing now when bnet has shrink significantly from it's peak. They would pollute us with billions of runes and gain just a fraction of earnings they used to have. I think it would not bring much $ for them as much time they spend on advertising etc...I hope it turns that way. Personally I would be tired of annoying people and start playing this game as it should be played :nod: Start being good as a change. :girly:

Then why did they bother in mentioning it now? They could fix at any time and not relate it with a specific patch. Why attaching this note with a patch if it's only server side issue?



 
Re: Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

This doesn't help much, but I hear there are multiple methods, and Blizzard claims to have tackled one method, so...
 
Re: Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

I doubt they fixed it, the way its so randomly written in the patch notes with no elaboration its like they fixed one out of god knows how many methods. like they did with the old bone wall / meteor method or w/e
 
Re: Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

This happens a lot, a duping exploit is found, and then a lot of people use it, and after a long time, Blizzard then fixes it. I doubt duping will stop ever for D2, there's too much money on the line for dupers, and the client-server architecture of D2 will always let these kind of things be possible some way or another. The best we could hope for is a reduction in duping, and maybe increased reluctance to share duping methods.
 
Re: Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

The number 1 problem that needs fixing and i don't think it's fixed. I don't know how duping is done but i'm pretty sure it has to do with fake lagging and "fooling" the server to return to your char on a previous state. I spend a few minutes gambling and then i lagged out of the game, when i reconnected the gloves i gambled like a minute before were unidentified :/ Meh, i guess i'll play this ladder without any trades, just the idea that everything is a by-product of dupes ruins the game for me.

I'm doing that right now, with all rare items, but only cuz of infinite gold cheat XD

Maybe Blizz should have implemented that for 1.13 lolz


 
Re: Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

From my understanding, duping is a bug that is at the core of the game. You just don't change it overnight. They will probably have to rewrite large parts of the saving system.

it's just not worth the investment for blizzard.

Overnight, no. 9-years-and-13-patches-later-time? Probably. I dont think its wise to eradicate duping. It will remove a gigantic portion of the gamers, wipe them out overnight.

You (its in plural here, it applies to everyone saying this, not just you) have to stop saying that. Its pure BS.


 
Re: Did they fix duping in 1.13 beta?

Even if Blizzard's attempt to fix one duping method fails, I'm still glad they at least tried to do something. I guess that has to be good enough for me, just knowing they actually did something.

However, I'm still not sure why they can't employ ruststorm 2 every now and then...

I think it's a wise thing to remove those who like to play that way. This game was never meant to be played that way, and if that means that no will play anymore, than let it be.

Or if they could make separate realms, one polluted and one clean, would satisfy both sides. I don't mind if people like to be fools and pay for digits on the screen.

How did he get that gear? By duping or blizz gives you test editor. I am not playing 1.13 test so I don't know.

This is how I've been playing Diablo II since the day I started. At one point I had a group of ppl whereby we would share our drops when we needed something; but everything was legit. There was no trading outside of the group and we all gamed together so we knew who found what.

I'm the only one still playing afaik but I have yet to trade with anyone anything. If someone asks for a rune that I have I may fork it over but I know everything I have is legit.
