There is a player using TurboHUD blatantly on Twitch. He is paragon 7000+ and is cheating. He is avoiding to get ban by covering his Battletag name. Can we ban this fool please?
I have edited this post to avoid getting myself in trouble but I have his Twitch account name and have reported to Twitch.
First, report to Twitch. Don’t they have a strict policy against cheating?
Second, just in case, remove the cheater’s Twitch account name from your post. You may be violating Blizzard’s namnig&shaming policy and get punished yourself.
I think there is an email adress to blizzard about hackers.
I have found a couple myself that uses 3 party programs, they were never banned even when reported.
I doubt anyone has ever been banned for using turbohud.
It’s cheating only in your mind @LapChi.
People been using it for many years with no bans.
TurboHUD is a maphack. It violates the terms of service. Using it is a bannable offense.
Just because apparently no bans hasn’t been given yet is irrelevant. Using third party software to aid or automate gameplay is strickly and clearly prohibited.
In ten years noone has ever been banned for any maphack.
So with a basically dead game, Blizzard is going to start banning for maphacks now.???
It’s been a hot minute since I followed THUD related news, but didn’t the original author sell his program to another person/party, for money? And now that entity is charging money for it? That’s a big difference in terms of the law, as it goes from “gray area / just email me blizzard and I’ll stop” to “someone is making actual profit off of this thing that’s derived illegitimately from blizzard code”
Unless something has changed since 3 years ago when I stopped paying attention, THUD as it existed at that point in time is very much something blizzard could actively pursue legal action against if they so desired. And as Kirottu said, the fact that they haven’t yet has no bearing on the fact that it IS a bannable offense to use it.
Again haven’t followed it recently, but it used to be MUCH more than that. Map reveal and pylon placement reveal were its top features, but it also showed cooldowns in numerical form, radius for explosions, lots of crazy stuff that went far beyond “where’s the next pylon.” People were writing their own modules for it.
And that was BEFORE it got sold to a bot maker…
Again, what has or has not been done against maphack users is irrelevant. The terms of service are clear. The use of third party software, whether it’s botting program, maphack or somerhing else, is strickly prohibited. Get that through your thick head.
Obviously. I merely generalized it as maphack as that is the most obvious violation of what that thing does. It does much more which just makes it worse.
yawn, let me know when someone gets banned! … thanks.
Cops don’t ticket every single car that speeds past them on the highway. That doesn’t mean you won’t be chosen as the one they DO pull over and ticket.
It’s disingenuous at best to give “it’s okay to use it” advice. One might wonder what your motives are…
Just because something is not enforced does not mean it’s not against the rules, claiming it’s not is just factually incorrect.
Strange rambling as I haven’t played D3 in some time.
I am simply speaking what I’ve noticed for the last 10 years and that simply put, “No one gets banned for D3 maphack”.
I haven’t made any posts where I tell others to use a maphack.
You are the only one that has used those words.
So what is your agenda @Dimlhugion?
Which is utterly irrelevant. It does not invalidate the terms of service.
How would you know? You know every single account that has ever been banned and the reason thereof?
10 years ago it was illegal where I live to urinate in front of a window. It’s still illegal to do so now.
To date I haven’t heard of a single case of someone actually getting arrested for violating that specific law. But it’s still a law, which is a point you seem to miss, seemingly intentionally.
I wouldn’t advise someone to break a very specific law based on empirical evidence of lack of enforcement. I also think a law being dumb doesn’t make it magically not be potentially enforceable in the future.
You gave bad advice, plain and simple. That’s my agenda.
If you are worried that a player is using TH, you are not at the end of your surprises…
Wudijo was, back in the day. People seem to forget that
Blizzard has already 100% banned for use of TurboHud in the past, and there is a blue post about how it violates the rules.
I’m not going to invest the time in digging up the post since it was years ago, but it is there if someone cares enough to find it.
The assumption was TurboHud however it may have been something else too, we’ll never know the truth except the fact that was banned and admitted it.
METALHEAD seen the word “cheater”…
You’re already have your thread, can you continue to post on this?
