Tripwire active?

Something like this they will not clear until they look at the code and verify that its safe.... It's been a good 6 months since a ban wave.. Better safe than sorry.. Last all clear took about 8 hours, so Id assume not until after US DT tomorrow

 

As long as tripwire is active you don't need to worry about it. Tw detected something changed and as long as it shuts down you don't need to worry...just give your workers a free day until the devs have figured out what has changed and if buddy is targeted or anything else...

 

Yep the ETA is when ever the HB team gives us a greenlight and says it is safe to go again, Think of it as a Emergency brake, it stops everyone from botting until they are sure you are not getting cought.

 

They will probably spend some quality time in IDA Pro comparing notes, it takes quite a bit of time to even LOAD the game, let alone look for whats changed and determine if it is of any consequence to us or not. Probably looking at being back up tomorrow I would imagine. But I'm not Kick, or whoever is doing it, so they obviously would know for sure. I'm just a random noob you meet in the halls from time to time lol

 

Dang.. Just spend the past 45 minutes building a 10man normal group and this popped up right before ready check.. Better than losing my account though.

 

And you hope and pray it's not a implemented detection, you one, are a dick for even saying that, two you are a dick for doing that, and three, what a dick....

 

^^^Perfectly said.^^^

Sadly there will be a huge influx of people who do not understand that very simple thing.

 

I'd rather grumble about a tripwire system while knowing that it's actually functioning as intended than lose two accounts.

Thank you, HB!

which wave? they implemented LCP detection and x/ph (x = nphc, dungeons etc.)to get rid of us but they didnt ban any commercial bot in a wave. I was using cybot and buddy together and there was no difference in ban rates...

Besides that Blizzard knows exactly that they loose (botting) customers (=money) if they wipeout every buddyuser cuz then some guys are going to loose their thrust in this bot and won't buy any new account.

 

Interesting reading for this noob. Personally, I don't AFK bot anyways so I'd love to see the GMs try to ban me for using a ATK bot, my wrists & hands have issues so after this time it helps me with the repetitive shit in the game. Not passing judgment on how others use their stuff, to each their own.
And I sure as heck hope it isn't to start detecting bots, but the around 12 hr shutdown tomorrow has me wondering why so long, I hadn't heard anything coming in yet from wow beta but ehh, who knows, I'm sure as heck aint a gm. 8/

 

Exactly. I doubt ANY of us would put some serious hours into mastering combat routines (who haven't already) this close to WoD.

 

There was a ban wave about 6 months ago that got a bunch of PQR users.. Blizz announced the number at 275k I was one of em.. Luckily I was snazzy enough to get my account back, but ever since then I will not use another bot besides HB.

 

I didnt see any information regarding this and this is my first rodeo with this. Is there a considerable chance we were detected if the bot was running when the tripwire activated and closed the process?

 

Doubtful, I'd assume if the game updated while playing then HB had to re-hook anyways and that's when it caught the change, that or it caught the update and triggered bot-wide tripwire.

 

I'd assume the same. Looking at their maint schedule, there's a 12 hour planned; wouldn't surprise me if they slipped in some small patches before hand.

 

I didn't understand what Tripwire was so I came in here to find out, good to know considering! Thank you as always Buddy team!

 

blizz only needs to auto flag every account that disconnected at the time tripwire went off. :>

 

How would Blizzard know when Tripwire went off?

 

Firstly, everyone is down right now. It's not just you!

What is "Tripwire"?
Tripwire is a automated anticheat detection built into HB that sees any change in the game client or warden implemented and instantly shuts us all out of the game.

After the Devs have ran the game through the wringer (IDA Pro among others) and checked out what has changed they will turn the AuthServ back on so that we can bot again. THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME! WHen I used to do it around here on Rift, it took literally hours for the game to even LOAD into the program so it could be viewed by the dev and compared to the previous version. Then it again is going to take some time to literally go thru the whole game's code and see what changed. Think hours, not minutes. I would be stunned if we were up again before tomorrow. THen again, I am not nearly as proficient in IDAPro as these guys are!

BE PATIENT! They will get it up and running ASAP - Their bots are down too!
