*Serverside patch* duping fixed/connection interrupted ifr

Today is the first time i have gotten a FTJ since the patch. And it is every other game i try to join. Seems the same as before the patch if not worse now.
 
I got two fail to joins, and four connection interuptions playing on Europe last night. First time it's happened since the "patch." I was, however, able to make a game directly after failing to join the previous one. The connection interuptions always happened right after I got to the throne room, so it may have been caused by all the monsters gathered there.

Ruststorms: You are being fooled/tarded. 1.10 ruststorm deleted hacked itms ONLY. None of the dupes were erased. Think about it. To delete every duped item they would have to compare each itm of each character on each account against EACH other. That could take days/weeks considering a char can hold 20+ itms, each account has 8 chars and each player has 5-6 accounts (dupers got 10+). Running a ruststorm against the "legendary" 100000 dmg grief or the remaining occu rings or wizzy gloves is possible but if there was a way to do an active ruststorm against all duped itms without closing the servers for a week don't you think they would do it every 6months or so?

It can be done with hash tables if Blizzard has some extra hard disk spaces, though...... They probably don't.

I haven't been experiencing CI's much, except for that 1 time in Meph, but I practically always play solo, even in a pub game.



 
I can't run cows with my javazon anymore; one or two casts of fury and I get disconnected. Lame.

My auradin gets disconnected as well when I swap his gear (dream -> dragon etc) and I guess the server needs to recalc damages from overlapping auras? Kinda lame!

Only my hammerdin works these days.
 
I go CI'd thrice yesterday--once against baal(full party, tons of firestorms, etc. going off), once while I was soloing in a hell game with about 5 others(spamming fireball/frozen orb, and it takes more of it to kill in multipeople games), and then again when I opened a chest from a house in act1. Otherwise I've been great. No back-to-back FTJ's, either.
 
just before this serverside patch came out i was ttrying to get used to my new hdin(whichi have been reduced to using so that i can chaos/baal run), and was experienceing extreme frusteration with tryin gto get the hammers to hit. complained about the lag and hammers sucking part and somone with the origional name of xyz hammers took offense too :P

but now i can use the hammers! well better then before at least :P after a 50 game jump in the deep end baal run, i found at least one way almost guronteed to c/i

conviction aura and zea - every time my conviction palladin friend went to cleanup a monster that was standin near him, he'd zeal and we/d drop. should have told him to try it to seee if we could do it on purpose, but i am aiming to level that guy...

not too many bonewallers showed up, but the odd javazon did, although the conviction/zeal seamed to drop it faster thenone javazon alone

yay for less lag,booo for dozen re-entry trist runs!!

edit - oh and helped a friend get izzy, first time they died with bad timing, second time his death explosion c/i'd us and they didn't get it..
 
I did hundreds of baal runs to level my hammerdin to 91...failed to level him couase of the boredom...but have not had a single c/i or ftj ever since the patch...not a single one...Europe,Romania,Bucharest is my location,with a 100k connection to the outside of my country,and a 192 k connection inside.

I've been getting lag spikes all day today. Anyone else?

While I haven't been getting C/I'ed or FTJGs, I have been getting spikes as well. It is nothing more than a mere annoyance most of the time though. I freeze, as does the rest of the game, so it is a non-issue for dueling.



 
Hi.

- just wondering, I have had a almost flawless night ( as to C/I ) untill a few min ago. then it started to C/I from time to time.. I thought it was friday night's business and all ( as usuall ) ... then I started to x-fer ( solo - perm 5-10 min) just got it done... and .... your acc is currently being used by XXX, wait 5 min ..... hack or that anti dupe thingy y'all been talking about ?

P.S. I dont dupe, never have, never will ... but those items I x-fered from a friends acc was bought... could that be it ? -- PP.S just got in again, I was almost sure it was a hack of a sort..but I have all my stuff.. but 30 sec. and I get C/I ..hmmm ??

I have been getting lots of connection interrupts on USEast. Basically multiplayer games with very many people are unplayable.

Plus there are lag spikes.
 
Yup,
Can't solo Hell Cow no more.. about 70% of all runs I did was Connection Interrupted.
-> I was using my Javazon.

Don't get paranoid. Bnet probably forgot to log you off or smthng. And no harm can come to you from having duped itms except maybe having them dissapear. What CAN get u into trouble (banned, acc stolen) are 3rd party programs...Stay away from them



 
US west definitely has the patch.

Instant drop if a Zon throws a LitFury in the throne.

I welcome the change. Anything to show me that there are people with heartbeats at Blizzard.

Makes me think they might not have forgotten about us. My theory is: they are going to see how this fix works. Then ladder reset with rune frequency multiplied by 10.

I think that they could check incrementally. Everytime you enter/exit a game record the items on each char. When you find someone else has those items go check the inventory of the other char for dupes.

Seems pretty straight forward. You just have to keep an array indexed by item numbers that contain the char number.

While I can appreciate there being at least some effort into this game still... I find it absolutely stupid that this effectively makes half the characters in the game basically unplayable. As far as I can tell, Meteor, Multishot, Lightning Fury, Summon Necro, Poison Nova, Fire Druids, and a few others, not to mention _any_ physical attacker using either BotD or the Hellfire Torch cannot really play reliably at all. And even if your character isn't one of these, if there's one of these just in the same game as you, you're screwed.

Trying to "fix" lag and what goes with it is nice and all, but even bad lag was more playable than the game is right now.

Incidentally I've noticed no problem with Frozen Orb / Blizzard myself even though those two spells cause more lag imo than stuff like Lightning Fury and Multi Shot.

It's nice to know Blizzard continues to give incentive to play Hammerdins exclusively :soapbox:
 
Guess I should be really happy of this. And I will be in a few days, as is now I just traded away my full HR stash without knowing values had quadrupled of them. Massive overpaying, possible I even put bids i'll have a tough time honing. But I guess it'll turn out fine in the end...

This being said, still great news! :smiley:
 
any idea of the value of HR nowdays or is it changing to fast?(Eu)

*i know this is a trade values question and will ask there to
