Suggestion regarding detectability

[DaMay]

I know that nobody can say this like for a 100%, but 95% would be enough for me ;-)

I am currently using this bot on my only (main) account and bought a second D3 key in order to separate between my playing and my botting account.
Obviously (because of hours spent, toons, friendlist etc.) I would like to keep my current main account as playing account and bot on my new bought account. If I do so there is a potential of my current account already being flagged and therefore might end up having no account at all (both account being banned because I used the bot on both).

Since this is the first bot I am using in my whole life (yea me is noob) I can absolutely not estimate the chance of already being flagged and am hoping for some oppinions/suggestions from the more experienced players out here.

you havnt been flagged.
do you run the first account on the same computer/ip as ur second?

id advice running ur bot account through a vpn/proxy or whatever so the botting account and ur playing account dont share an ip and changes the mac adress. a verr easy way of using a vpn is something like hotspotshield .

 

[DaMay]

Yes I would run both accounts on one computer with one IP atm.
I will check the proxy, didnt know I can use a proxy for a single program!? Thought a proxy would only work for my whole computer/ethernet card (which would be useless because both accounts would still have the same IP). In like 2 weeks I will be able to run the two accounts on two computers with two IPs.

edit: I might add that I am planning to let the bot run in window mode while I am playing on the other account (fullscreen)

Alot of 3rd party program can run D3 trough proxy. Or use VM.

 

[DaMay]

Hotspot Shield is working, but my whole computer seems to have the "new" IP.
I got Microsoft Virtual PC with XP Mode. Could I run D3 there, using a proxy and run the 2nd D3 on my "real" Windows 7?

 

[axazol]

VPN on VM.

 

[DaMay]

So e.g. HotspotShield on VM, alright thanks!
Does Microsoft Virtual PC work for this or shall I get something like VMware or virtual box? Dont know exactly how Virtual PC works

 

[DaMay]

Just tested it so far, that on Virtual PC with Hotshield I got a different IP than on Windows 7. Great. Let's hope this isnt only working with browsers but with the whole XP Mode System
Now I'm gonna check if/how D3 is running on XP Mode

 

[DaMay]

Aint starting...launcher starts and after pressing "Play" I see the Diablo 3 picture for a short moment and thats it. Process running in task manager but game doesnt start

How can you tell he hasn't been flagged? No one can know for sure if Blizzard already is able to detect the bot - and is just gathering statistics before a ban-wave?

Let me put it like this:
Your account is most likely not flagged - but if it is, you'll probably end up losing both accounts.

Personally, I don't think they ban whole IP's since some houses (with several families/adresses) share IP.
Also - with WoW, lots of people has been botting 20+ accounts on the same IP, but only 1 got banned etc.

This sounds reasonable. Can Blizz somehow figure out, that its not only the same IP but also the same computer (when I'm running multiple games using -launch instead of a VM)

Depends of reason for which you get banned. If Blizzard catch you with several bots on same PC/IP/ID... Then, in most cases, they could ban all your farm in next ban-wave on same PC/IP.
