I want to return, but how rampant are cheats/hacks?

When I played like 2-3 years ago, I remember there being tons of bugged items, duplicated items, and the like. Also, everyone was using maphacks. What is the deal with this now? Have those items been removed? Is maphack still being used? Or is everything in the game legit?

The less cheats/hacks, the more willing I am to return.
 
everybody is legit.

nobody cheat.

nobody scams.

b.net purchased new servers.

everyone types out full sentences.

everyone uses manners.



*suddenly wakes up*
 
Some people have maphack, every hell baal game is run by a bot, gmercs dominate a third of dueling games in hell, there are new mods that enable both AA and Farcast on the same character, a lot less dupes than 1.09 had - but there are still dupes, of course.

Highrunes are nearly worthless.
 
ok thanks. Oh well. I will just try to ignore that and enjoy the game. I just gotta get the discs from my friend to install so we can play.
 
There aren't Iths or anything anymore. I used to have a constricting ring and an occy ring (pre-rust storm of course).

Many players cheat, the cheats are just different. The best way to be safe is to play with people you know and trust.

Maphack is rampant. Many players use overpowered cookie-cutter builds with items purchased online so you may want to think about playing with an untwinked group. The thread is on the main community forum page.

Good luck
 
Player Matchup forum, or even just... keeping in touch with some of the nicer people you trade with here in the forums, is a good way to make decent friends.
 
IMO anyway, cheats and hacks are not the main concern. It is the lag and failure to join game problem that has been rampant for about the last month. Perhaps it is due to dupers, etc. But in any case it has me seriously considering giving this game up now - at least on-line - and going single player.
 
Well i'll tell you something, even though the dupes are bad, the things that are duped aren't really overpowered, nothing to do with the hexes charms and whites times omfg.... Nowadays you can actually duel in hell without using any dupes etc, and win just as well as the ones that use dupes. And mercs are pretty stupid if you ask me, they don't dominate any hell pvp games where ppl have a little intelligence ee. In fact i don't see any in pvp..., or like 1 every 100 games.

The lag is a problem, but not every time. The aa and farcast are used only by noobs, therefore it's actually pretty easy to kill this idiots, at least it's to me, after you kill them, nk them about 20 times, then they'll leave.
 
agreed. almost all gmercs and farcasters can be taken care of with that lovely belt, tgods, and maxed resists. dwarfs against gmercs also help.

the hack thing that upsets me most is when ppl can see your gear using some program or sumthing, i dont even know how it works. they like to cry when u use smart gear to defend yourself against their unfair assults.
 
If you playing on USEast Ladder Softcore, I will glady help you as much as I can. I have a few spare items you could have, depending on what your build will be. It wont be godly stuff, but it should help you get on your feet with one character. Just PM me if you are on USEast SCL
 
The biggest issue now is duping and botting.

Maphack is constant.

Every baal game is run by an AI controlled paladin.

Every rune is duped (okay 99.999%) on the high end so you better socket it fast.

Its pretty much the same game. The rich are those that are botters, dupers OR..... thank goodness.... there are the few that just really play the game well and often - like many people here.

This forum is the only reason I keep playing when ladders reset.
