[Official] Diablo III Information and Discussion Thread - Page 763

No account has yet actually been breached that had an authenticator and the Asian issue with duplication was solved within hours.

Beyond that, there is no compromise that has existed within their system...Period.

They even took it a step further in requiring the authenticators to exist in order to use the RMAH...Why? Not a single, SINGLE USER, has been hacked that legitimately HAD an authenticator.

So what are my views? They've handled everything within reason...

The cancelling of auctions by using your game-clock is because the AH is located on WoW's server cluster...This isn't an exploit at all...They had already planned on allowing cancelled auctions prior to it's debut...So, moot point.

The lag spikes have been addressed repeatedly by MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars of server additions to their networks...I can't comment beyond that but, they're putting forth due effort.

MOST of that is attributed to ISPs, actually...Especially considering Blizzard's new backbone...I think there are still issues with the network but, they're making extreme progress on those issues and they deserve due credit for that.

When you're discussing lag, there are MANY different factors and quite frankly, you nor I could diagnose that just over this discussion...I'd be happy to climb your telephone poll and give you a reading...Most of the time, it's actually you but, you honestly can't say with certainty who's problem it is.

All you can say is that the ISP's aren't making any progress in the matter while Blizzard is adding entirely new farms to accommodate...So once all the farms are installed, if there's still a problem, guess who's problem it is? I think we can say that with reasonable certainty in the next few weeks.

My issue isn't against the users that couldn't play because there was too much lag and returned the game...If they wait and nothing happens, that's a grey area and that's absolutely fine...But, to actually play the game, beat the game in it's entirety and THEN return it, citing the above when it's a lie, in order to get a refund, is ludicrous.

I've seen the actual numbers and they do keep records of users that do the above, they keep records of ping and analytic data...The amount of users that have completed the game through/up to inferno and then demanded a refund, is a staggering number...And to me, a disgusting one.

Beyond that, the fact that it's endorsed over these forums, is giving me a very bad taste...It's thievery the 2012 way and the fact that a legitimate policy is being abused...I don't have words to explain my disgust.

Quite frankly, their mistake was offering the refunds in the first place to those that have beaten the content...It's down-right wrong that you abuse a legitimate policy for personal gain...And that is what's happening...Beyond a doubt.

The refund exists for legitimate issues, within a reasonable amount of time...Not so those of you that beat it and were dissatisfied could steal.

Think so. Either way, 30 days will be more than enough for people to decide if the game is playable. For those that are returning it after getting to inferno, I have no respect for them. All I will say is karma is a very evil woman and will get them for it one day.

He is right, this thread is not full of game discussion. Seems like it is filling up with people who don't like the game and want to have someone read and comment on their 2 cents.

I think that if you returned, are going to return, or have uninstalled the game, you should find another thread on the blizzard forums to post all of your reasons.

This forums should be open for people playing the game, progressing through it, item builds, talent builds, ect.

At this rate the whole thread will be moved to the "Rants and Raves" section.

Oh there's a good amount of game discussion in here . We just throw down on other things concerning diablo 3 until someone brings something up about the game.

Hey Zulli will it let you add a different poll to the OP? I think it would be kind of interesting to poll people on how they'd rate their lag (not downtime). I haven't had any lag since the first week personally, but sounds like some people have it. Would be interesting to know how many.

that's odd

why would your authenticator get out of sync?

did you reload your phone with another ROM or restored from backup?


... LOL just paranoid me, thinking maybe some one is trying to hack your account

I wonder why Blizz didn't learn from past mistakes and disable the use of chat on guild pass? That gold spam sure was annoying when I played it.

THIS. Anyone who has beaten Normal and then proceeded into Nightmare need to just hush with the returns and uninstalled claims. 95% of all things people are complaining about are more than evident in 'normal' difficulty. The lag sucks, even more so for the hardcore players.. we all get it. The drops are mediocre, and the legendaries are crap, and inferno MIGHT be too hard, they're fixing it. level 60 and beating inferno as the end of the game? I guess, that IS it. Congratulations, you have beaten the game on the highest level, you won, end of game. Is there more to do? ALWAYS. You could do another character, you could farm for gold or better gear, you could switch up skills and try inferno again, you could search for secret areas, you could go on an achievement binge, you could go play public games and laugh at people cause they're terrible. You could also pat yourself on the back, uninstall the game, and go to the next game, like you would with any other game out there. You should really log in to the game, and look through your characters at time played, and think long and hard whether you have room for telling everyone how upset you want to say you are with the game, or that you have the audacity to ask for a refund.

they just need to look at the amount of gold each account has and they will quickly get a list of all the Dupers

as a DB admin, it's so easy to find that kind of information

just link the amount of gold with the AH trades, and they got their suspects, and all it remains to do is use their Ban Hammer

Sigh, this is really bugging me now.


There is no proof of item or gold dupe on US/EU servers, only the Asian server.

Not to say that it wasn't possible or didn't happen, but you would think that if it did, there would be someone with some proof.

you really have to give credit to those Asians Gold factories / sweat shops hackers

they always manage to find way to hack money and run Bots to kill low level mobs to get money and sell those for Real Money

that's a huge underground industry over there

i'm glad we are Blizzard at least ran their servers separately, that prevented a major fallout as some other MMO RPG games online, that just ruins the economy, or force a roll back to every body

in this case they only rolled back in Asia servers, and not us, so at least i did not waste my time, levelling up and doing the quests the proper way
