*Serverside patch* duping fixed/connection interrupted ifr

[tinncann25]

I saw that this was patched at youtube, and my noob duper friend confirmed this to me.
It's also a rumor out that the perm method has been patched.

enough to me *installing d2*

can anyone verify the "perm method" patch?

 

[ShadowLXIX]

I think only time will tell on that one as people using unperm items start complaining all their stuff is disappearing

Played a few duel games quick, zero lag...i love it!

 

[MAXMEX]

i can confirm that the last days there has been a tremendous decrease in ftj games,laggy games etc..
I have only been disconnected 1-2 times also.

I'd love to stick this thread for you guys - however, I'd like to see some sort of "official" verification first. If someone happens to catch something over on the BNet boards, let me know. :smiley:

Even having played for about 1 week over the last 6 months... Thank You Blizzard! You love us, you really do love us :smiley:

Doesn't appear to be a patch on USwest yet.

When did this occur?

 

[Laarz]

Isaw the message the servergoing down on west at 11:30 a.m.

 

[sswilson]

So this is a completely server-side patch????

Hmmmmm maybe I should try a few games to see what's left on my mules....

Here is actual confirmation from a Blizzard poster in the Eur Ladder Trading forums on Battle.Net:

Thanks emar. Stickied for the weekend.

Ok, did some testing and games seem to drop when ping hits 100.

 

[poroboszcz]

Y, the same here. If ping goes 100+ for a while it'll immediatly return to normal or the game will drop. I've got really smooth playing experience today tho.

Anyway that's a really big issue. Economy is gonna change a lot especially for sojs, hrs and annis. I wish they run active ruststorm as well (you scared of that, huh :wink3: ). It also shows that Blizzard still does care about Diablo, which is great news! I think that current lag policy may be still experimental and stuff like droping baalruns can be fixed after some testing. I believe that now all hopes for ladder reset or even the new patch are not groundless.

Big up!

 

[PvtCaboose]

i hear theres already a new dupe method :S i udnno if its tru or not, but thats what i hear.

 

[krinchild]

the next step is to reset ladder and yes, i guarantee diablo fanatics already have a new dupe method

 

[Sanek]

Good for them for fixing that pub dupe!

Even though there are other working dupe methods atm, the fact that they are private and not public changes everything. Private dupers tend to be more responsible about using the dupe, so although it does damage b.net, it does not lag every single game 24/7 (btw I assume none of the lag dupe methods will work now).

Anyways, I would really like to know if perm still works because if it doesn't, I will expect scnl soj prices to sky rocket... which means much more expensive renegades to get dclone to walk, which means annis will cost 100x more...

 

[KWiz]

Peeeeheeew!Luckily I have a legit anni,and most of the stuff I have on me is legit...self found...xcept for my enigma of course,and probably my hoto,cuz of the hr on it...been playing some...no real lag...no drops from game either...will have to see this through.Waiting for the rust storm

 

[Dondrei]

Oh thank god. Fingers crossed it actually fixes the lag issues.

Although on the duping, it takes Blizzard six months or so to release a patch and the noobwad kiddies a few days to figure out a new method... good thing I don't trade or that would piss me off.

I was in the baal runs Uncle_Mike described (hint: fast teleport... )

Today I did an uber Tristram run with a mate (Ludacris here) and we experienced the following:

After defeating Mephisto we encountered Baal, in the meantime there were more minions on the screen. From that point we were dropped (C/I) but the game was still alive. This happened 2 or 3 times. Then I stayed in town because I had the most ctc's (grief/dragon/dream/draculs) and he did fine on his own with only grief and draculs. Such a relieve to have stable games and possibility to create again!

 

[Megafusion]

I've done some "tests" and noticed that it happens when there are 2 or more javazons on the game, almost every game where there were 2 javazons throwing lf the game dropped. Sux

Sry for posting another topic, i didnt see there was a sticky..


The game just drops when there is mass laag

 

[Dii Legend]

Oh thank god. Fingers crossed it actually fixes the lag issues.

Lag is worse than ever for me on the europe realm since this "fix." I haven't tried playing east or west yet since the other day, so I'm not sure about those yet.
