Wem das Thema wichtig ist, der haette hier noch einmal selbst die Chance seine Meinung kund zu tun, ich werde es auf jeden Fall versuchen, weil ich gerne auch wieder gefahrlos in open games spielen wuerde.
Jeder dem die Message hier etwas bedeutet, sollte eine Kopie des Briefes an hacks@blizzard.com und support@blizzard.com schicken, wenn ihr noch andere Adressen kennt, die in Frage kaemen, raus damit.
Und wenn ihr mir das was in 1.09 passiert ist weiterhin uebel nehmt, banned mich halt wieder, es geht hier nur um die Aussage des Briefes, also supportet sie oder lasst es sein.
Die Chancen moegen gering sein, aber versuchen kann man es und wenn genug Leute mitmachen, klappt es auch vielleicht.
Dear Blizzard Representatives,
I'm writing this letter to point your attention to one major issue which strongly decreases the gaming experience of thousands of "hardcore-mode" Diablo II players. There might have been others who asked for this but we will still try it and hope for a solution.
Of course I know that you are not working actively on Diablo II anymore, but the recent changes on the Arreat Summit website and the fact that you still created some patches and did ladder resets invoked some hope that you might still invest a few hours to make your fans happy.
Most of those who are still playing hardcore more, are really strong and loyal customers and fans of your games and for us, Diablo II hardcore is simply the best gaming experience that has ever been created. Thank you alot for this.
So let's come to the point.
Since late patch 1.09, there is a hack available and used in many variations which is called TPPK. Technically it works by shooting projectiles (Guided Arrow, Fireball, Ice Blast, Bone Spirit, Tornado, etc..) at some players (usually with some auto-aiming modification) and while the projectiles are still in the air, a script enables a town portal, uses it and declares war to the victim. The projectiles will still hit and slay the victim.
This hack exsits in many variations and it made every non password game on Diablo II hardcore battle.net nearly impossible. You are in continous fear of being pked without having even a chance to do anything since it happens in parts of seconds. There is absolutely no way to avoid it without using hacks yourself, if the pk knows what he is doing.
Since you fixed it for Guided Arrow and for Blessed Hammer, making the projectiles despawn after using a tp, there must be a solution for this issue.
With making it required to wait 10 seconds after declaring war on someone to use a waypoint, you practically destroyed legit PKing. Yes, I know your policy states that legit PK is fine and allowed. I agree strongly with this topic and even enjoyed PKing in Diablo II myself alot. But legit PK is dead now because of such strong limitations and hacks like the chicken mod. Well, this is another topic and I do not expect a change there. Still, you have the chance to at least allow us hardcore players to join non password games again and just to play together without being scared all the time to die due to a hack and without a chance to escape.
There are at least two very simple and easy solutions.
a) Remove ALL projectiles which belong to one special player as soon as he enters a town portal.
b) Do not accept the hostility packet for 10 seconds after a player used a town portal, exactly like the limitation on waypoints, just the other way around.
Since you implemented both things partially (some projectiles despawn already, there is a time restriction of re-declaring hostility, so maybe it would even be enough to set one simple value to a special time, and there is the waypoint time limit), I am pretty sure that you are able to fix this issue in a few hours, if you really want to.
PLEASE and I wrote it in caps on purpose, PLEASE help us and provide us a solution on this topic.
There are thousands of hardcore players world wide which would be amazed by a fix. PLEASE invest some hours into a fix and make many of your most loyal customers happy. PLEASE.
Yours faithfully,
Christopher Krüger
