** OFFICIAL ** Downtime Discussion - 6/22/2010

Both.

......

 

I am almost positive HB1 is now officially dead

 

But for now just for US, right?
So when for EU?

 

So whats the status the US won't be able to use HB2 for a couple of days?

 

Why would you use HB1?

 

Bcuz HB1 was the best.. Better exp/h, less dying

 

RAF is broken with hb2

 

HB2 = white Michael Jackson. Missing something...

 

Totally true. RAF working, less stuck...

 

Only reason I can see for using HB1 is RAF. Grind mode in HB2 is fantastic.

 

Damn and i was just at 375 mining. Least gatherbuddy gets updated faster :]

 

Actually Hawker mentioned the down time yesturday when he announced there wouldn't be an update to the for the questing beta due to the fact they are working on it for the new patch, so there was almost 24hours notice

 

This is going to be funny as hell because everything is going to shoot back up in prices until gb/hb is back up and then it will crash dramatically

 

yeah, RIP raf.

 

You didn't know? Everyone here at Honorbuddy is actually a Blizz employee...

They decided a year ago or so... to basically run a train on all customers who botted and made the most perfect botting solution out there. Not only for leveling, but for making gold too.

Then in about a year from now they are going to ban every customer's wow account and delete toons.

They are out to get you.

/sarcasm off

 

/ Agree .

 

Or someone at Blizz is disgruntled and is feeding valuable corporate intelligence to the HB/GB team in return for some favors. If that's true then that Blizz employee has balls of freaking steel. I'm too much of an ethical cornball to even think of doing something like corporate espionage.

On the flip side - surely Blizz knows about HB/GB and even has multiple licences for it so they can test Warden against it. Has the HB/GB team seen any logins from known Blizzard IPs with their software?

EDIT: Oooh, first post for this account. Been playing around with HB/GB on a trial account to get a feel for it and to decide whether I should buy the unlimited HB/GB licence.

 

Ok.. so I take it the 3.3.5 patch is coming out then? or is this cause of a inbetween patch for the game?

 

There is no doubt that Blizz uses HB/GB. They have to see how it works and how to catch it. Anyway dethl, you should most definitely just buy the license. I did the same thing. Tested out the free to lvl 20 client and the next day I just purchased it. Youll get your money worth in just a couple weeks.


This really sucks tho. Hopefully no one goes through too serious of withdrawals and tries to off themselves.

Ive got so much I need to get done on my chars. Ugh. Means I gotta actually touch the mouse and do thinking and stuff. This is hard.

 

Welcome to the HB/GB forums dethl.

Im sure blizzard has accounts for the bot, but I believe they would never mass ban accounts again. I believe they will ban accounts slowly from player reports or like flaming the auction house instead of detecting the bot. Just imagine like 30k accounts instantly shut off all at once. Thats like 480k right there from one move. Not saying that they wouldn't do that, because they have done it. Just saying with all the other MMOs out, its unlikely.
