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

[zorgonatis]

EU realms arent getting patched until next week, AFAIK, what's the plan there? Allow us to continue using buddy products? or is it a complete overhaul for all continents?

 

[butane]

I hope this does not mean HB1 will be left in the dust. Cuz that would be totally lame, especially when HB2 is still very much in beta.

 

[assasin01]

Is it a silent update(without notice from blizz) or is it announced?
And, yes, how a bout they guys across the pond...do we get to use the current client for another week or will the new client also work for us ?

 

[Laso49]

I don't think they would put a red flag up "BOTTERS BE WARNED WE ARE UPDATING OUR DETECTION METHODS" Which means it probably isn't announced.

 

[shuuk]

thanks for the warning ski

 

[Mirabis]

Wargh, so I've to stop my bots?
Well ok?y ^^ Thankyou for telling the peepz

I totally agree. Without 1.331, no RAF.

 

[Tag]

So we're essentially stuck using a bot which is in beta after the products are back online?

 

[mapleleaf]

so its still safe (as safe as b4 warden2 was made/announced) to bot now right?

 

[Natfoth]

My Raf!!!! Thats like the only thing I live for D: Hopefully RaF will be updated after the warden stuff is fixed.

 

[deltasniper3]

so what is so special about warden to call it warden 2
what other detection methods are there if we know

Turns out they now scan your brain to see if you bot or hack... lol jk i would like to know too

 

[_Hausi]

To all who asked if its safe to bot now: It is as safe as it is everyday. IF there is a risk, your Buddy-Product will be closed down AUTOMATICALLY!!!!

This protection worked very safe in all versions (sometimes too safe ;-) )

kewl.... so we all get banned

 

[namaze]

kewl.... so we all get banned

If your not good at making tin foil hats to protect you against government spying on you, then yes, you are going to be banned!

Its a complete re-write and thats that the Blizzard devs called it. If you really want to know why, phone Blizzard and ask them?

 

[Owneth]

Ya know, keeping it on topic. I am glad there is an announcement. I would front page it personally, and post it on the main websites for the products. (Thus warning users before they buy... it might not work until update) I appreciate the heads up. Even if it wasn't timely for some... at least it was made.

Thank you.

 

[wilsonj17]

How do you get this kind of information Hawker? are you a top secret spy? lol cant imagine Blizzard telling anyone about a re-write of warden but if they have it cant be good atall.

Also with it not affecting us EU player's till next week will they be a update on bug's for the new questing "BETA" today?

 

[Tony]

downtime???

i want a refund

 

[Reviir]

There is alot of us that have this kind of information. Wilsonj17 Blizz is just a company that employee's people.
