What we were talking about won't happen

read the battlenet post

wow could have just responded "blizzard is making a poor business decision" and i would have let you off, but you insist on looking stupid.

We were discussing MY IDEA of blizzard hiring a small group on engineers to debug and hotfix problems such as the exploit for the public hybrid.

Now lets take a look at the responsibilities of this new team shall we:



You need a napkin to get that egg off your face bro?

Hopefully you dont try to lean on that "well it doesnt explicitly state they are going to try and find fixes for packet manipulation", because thats a weak ass argument.

It's not a Diablo ii team

and they already patched those methods out like they usually do

Lol your best response is "its not a d2 team"?

99% of the work on the other games listed, sc1 and wc3, is just reformatting them to run with the b.net launcher application and setting up a server to run them.

What debugging is required in sc1? you think theyre really worried about the UMS bugs to stack missile turrets?

You really don't know anything then, and don't try to worm out of it you said you would hire an entire team purely to search for dupe exploits 24/7 for d2

what they are doing here is creating a small team to revitalise their entire legacy platform, a clever and astute business idea in comparison to your nonsensical and egocentric idea

will it happen? it's Blizzard, we will have to wait and see with baited breath as usual, but it won't be happening soon.

Also I imagine people will be expecting content updates, new characters, acts and items etc, when largely it's going to be bug fixing and updating it to run better on newer systems.

One thing we can dream of is to finally sort the realm down issue, that wouldn't be hard.

simply untrue. Ill give you 100% that i was suggesting a diablo 2 specific team, rather than legacy games. BUT i had in mind a team that would improve the game in all aspects, fixing all bugs, adapting the resolution, etc. Hybrids and packet manipulation were simply the topic at hand, not the only focus of my plan.

BUT like i said above, which of the 3 games (assuming they will only do 3 games, sc1, wc3, and d2) do you think needs actual work to debug and which do you think require busy work like setting up servers and adapting the game to the launcher program? Because sc1 and wc3 should be super easy to set up, diablo 2 is easy to set up as well but has far more bugs. Bugs take time, as you well know, setting up servers isnt actually that hard. So in reality even though this isnt a d2 specific team i would guess that most of their time in the long run will be put towards debugging, as setting up b.net's for the games isnt hard.

Such a stupid post, you'll 'give me that I was right' and 'you had it IN YOUR MIND'

I can't read your mind and decipher what you mean, you have to actually write things down in this world. Stop posting now you're looking stupid.

i dont have the thread to reference but im confident i said it in that thread. Its strange to me that you think i was advocating for a "fix only dupes" team at all. That doesnt even seem like a logical thought, why would someone make a team with a broad range of skills with such a small amount of tasks? you couldnt even fill a regular 40 hour work week if there werent any bugs to address... Perhaps you are confusing the fact that i said i would want the team to proactively seek out potential dupe methods, rather than deal with things retroactively when methods go public. Obviously that could take up alot of their time if it was their main focus, and that could be why you are confused, but i meant that as an aspect of their job not their main focus.

Not gonna happen in few years, so dont hold your breath..

You guys should stop dream.

They won't do anything actually.
