In a early thread (sorry i couldn't find it) a question was raised if this bot can BOT in HC..

many people including my self argued it WAS possible to bot in HC..

I was wrong. And yes you can show me screen shots of your 10 lvl 70 HC toons.. Great thats about 10 hours of botting.


The bot its self is actually very capable of botting HC, The DB devs and 3rd party devs like Rixx have done a great job.

I my self have a +450 paragon HC account of witch was all botted...

However the truth is eventually the authentication servers will drop and your bot will be left in the middle of the battlefield standing there until its dead..

I have asked many times to have the looked at by the devs, But just get ignored or my thread removed...

For those who BOT SC- this thread is not important move along.

But for those who do bot HC- Perhaps an alternative bot for now is our only solution.
 
Until they fix the auth (because yeah it's dropped twice now the past 24 hrs), the only thing I could suggest would be a crude Autoit or AHK script to check if DB dropped then hearth back to town/log out of d3. The homing pads may work well with that sort of setup. Apparently YAR can relog as well but ultimately if you don't get back in you'd want an emergency switch in place to get that d3 char out of the battlefield somehow.

Thats an awesome idea, I have homing pads for just about all my toons + they are pretty dam tanky too they just cant survive standing still for 30 mins :)..

Will get onto that later today.
 
I'm gonna say your other thread was deleted. Because the only reason you'd be standing still is because the bot is down. So how would you like the at the moment non-functioning bot to disconnect you from the game before you die ?
 
Well i can tell you that if you are after just legendary s then there is a 100% method you will not die on HC, it is running the chest profile with the countess amulet that makes you immune to arcane damg, so until blizzard adds mobs there you can bot that with out ever dying but as far as everything else ya there is always the chance of the dc or getting stuck and dying

I would LOVE THE BOT TO DISCONNECT ME FROM THE GAME when the bot goes down.. My bots can survive 8 seconds of just about anything i bot.

The bots functionality works just fine with out the authentication servers, Its the limitation built into the bot that prevents it.

The authentication server is for too reasons (Of witch i completely agree with)

1. To protect intellectual property against pirating software. ( it actually fails at this badly - that's not a topic for these forums however)
2. To protect its clients - When there has been a confirmed program detection (tripwire) it prevents users from logging in a attaching the bot to there game- preventing bans. Also if there is a massive bug, It can prevent users from logging in.

There are many things the dev team could do to help address this,.
 
I totally agree witht that fact. See here:
http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/165661-warning-sound-low-life.html#post1536285

This is a perfect example of "we do not care about customers".

If the auth server goes down, or your key expires then the bot should still continue until he can safely port to the town and log out. It is a joke to do not give a shit about your customers. Seriously guys, change that. It does not matter at all if the bot continues for 2 more minutes without a auth server or not. Show your customers that you care about them at some point.
 
I didn't know the bot continues to check with the auth server after logging in. How often does it check?
 
I feel you on these HC troubles. I've lost two lvl 70 WDs to this issue. Since I've just been doing t6 chest runs with the count ammy.. No issues.

I lost my world top 100 Ele damage HC WD to D/C of Buddy Auth. Seriously fucking pissed. And it was on stupid shit - Act 4 bounties just 2 elite packs when I saw that bot died.

Then you were doing it wrong. I can DC all day long on my HC WD and never worry about dying. Pets and leeching beasts with high LOH are your friend.

Please get off my thread with your moronic comments. I don't really care if you can stand still in the middle of the battlefield all day on T6. Good luck to you...

This thread isn't about how tank you can make your HC toon.
 
Guys if you want to bot hc make yourself a failsafe AHK script. Have it scan the screen for the DB login window every 5 sec or so, if it find that window equip homing pads and teleport to town. Something like....


Loop
{
IfWinExist Demonbuddy Login
{
WinActivate Diablo 3
SendInput c ;or whatever your inventory hotkey is
Click Right x, y ;the coordinates of the location of your homing pads, you can use windowspy to get the x,y
sleep 100
SendInput t ;or whatever your recall hotkey is
WinClose Demonbuddy Login
}
sleep 5000 ;5seconds, change to whatever interval you'd want the loop to check for the Demonbuddy Login window existing
}


You could get really creative and have it scan a pixel every so often and if that pixel remained the same color it could teleport out. You could also just end the DiabloIII process, but I'm not sure how long that'll make your character sit around ingame.

I doubt there is any danger in using AHK with Diablo 3 but I'm sure someone out there isn't fond of the idea (multiboxers use ahk if not similar software).

Also, for any plugin makers out there, a plugin to equip homing pads on x% hp and teleport to town would be amazing. I'm half tempted to learn how to make a plugin just to do this myself. I don't bot HC but it would be handy to have in SC just to save on res timers.

Thanks im now using this script to save my HC toons, No need to open inventory just use town portal works great- as i am using homing pads as my normal gear anyhow.

It would be cool to to have a plugin TP back home with your Homing pads on at X ammout of HP- But current it wont work cause when authentication drops the bot drops.

I currently uses a plugin that drops the game back to login instantly @ 80k HP using the instant log out exploit the ghom instant leave profile uses. Very risky and im sure when it comes time for the bans im going to be the frist to go because of using this exploit.
 
Died on two HC chars too same as one mentioned ealier had a top 100 elemental dmg ranked too. was a crusader. and im absolutely blaffed that the mods arent doing anything or not informing us abaout anything. i mean i can understand the problems there is with new expansions for games and stuff but lets be realistic this should have been fixed allready or atleast be their top prio.
 
I run a thorns build wiz on HC T2 no problem. bot can disconnect for all I care, my wiz cannot die lol
 
its all about removing the possibility of dying, because the bot WILL fuck up eventually. There's always a problem popping up. I lost a lightning monk in t2 with a near perfect soh/odyn son, blackthorne set, countess amulet etc. No reason for the bot to die, he was 2 shotting elites, just went full retard and died to 2 elites. 15m+ toughness.
botting with a witch doctor now, wouldn't have it any other way. in hardcore, if your relying on the bot to keep you alive, you will die. simple. matter of time.
