What if Blizzard would do a small patch every 2 days?

Would be the end of HB then? Or am i wrong and would that be impossible?
 
no, it give a second way for memory reading without update it after evry patch, its a memory function who not use Pointers direct, it use Pattern the currect pointer location. if just a very small update comes, the pattern will not change and the new pointers will be updated automaticly. just for bigger updates you must fix some patterns, if Blizz really start to do this, im sure the HB team will also find a way, maybe with patterns maybe other, but im sure they find a way.
 
It would not be the end of HB and blizzard only makes patches when they really have to, it's not to prevent people from botting.

If I'm not mistaken, last updates have taken a bit longer because the algorithm used by the HB team to fetch the new offsets wasn't useable anymore, so they'll surely finetine a new one to speed things up again for future patches.. I think :p
 
I think in order to do a small patch every few days would cost the great Blizz a great deal of their precious money. Way too much in fact to bother. Like other posters have said, there will always be "back doors" and such. I could however see something of this nature raising the prices of services. The more effort they spend to get rid of botters, the more it will cost them. The more effort HB spends countering those measures, the more it costs HB. The final result would be a raise in prices on the customers. I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that. As a blizzard customer, i want more product as soon as possible. In the form of new content. Blizz has stepped up with that request and started to push new content more rapidly. Unfortunately the down side to that is HB. The developers need to work harder and smarter to find different ways to deal with these upgrades. Both with service, content, and security.

this! let's not forget... it takes the hb devs a lot of work and effort to "react" to a patch, but think about what effort and work it is for blizz to release a patch! it's not that they "just do a patch"... there's a lot of work behind a patch, probably even more work than for the one's who have to "react". making a change usually takes more effort than reacting to a change. so i think no one should worry about blizz releasing a patch every 2 days.
 
Yeah, i understand that blizzard doesn't shoot for the patches being annoying to bots. But what if they did. Just having their own randomizing tools and popping out a randomized client every 2 days. That would be a game changer right? I mean, if some hb developers can come up with algoritms to automaticly do shit, Blizzard and their ton of developers can surely come up with another counter.
 
yes, it would probably be a game changer. but they won't do it, because it simply has no relation to the effort.
 
A patch every 2 days would suck, now wouldn't it?

First of all, if Blizzard had a need to do it every few days it wouldn't hurt them one bit monetarily in the least. You're talking about a company (sony and Bliz) that make over 150 million dollars a month that's 2 Billion a year and it's actually more than this. Blizzard wastes more money then they should what with buying Air time on TV to put their advertisements up and then paying actors a ridicules amount to do the commercial. This isn't to mention the dollars (which compared to the previous statement is nothing) they spend in the courts trying to hammer the smaller guys into the ground.

However< if they did patches every two days, it wouldn't affect HB dev team too much. Most the time a patch is to fix some instance glitches or redo some number they got wrong in a toons ability. Major patches they simply don't do that often (as in every two days), those they do with months usually between them. HB is in no harm from minor patches.
 
Yes this is great idea for blizz... 9 year after premiere.... botting is END. You are a genius :)

Last updates since 5.3 have taken longer because we have been concerned about changes in detection systems. Getting the bot itself updated takes about an hour.

Just a reminder. Blizz makes 2 Billion + a year. They waste more money then needs be just for tax breaks. Things like paying for air time on network tv and paying the actor too. Some little patch isn't touching their revenue nor hurting them in any way. That being said, it's not in Blizzards best interest monetarily to be doing patches every 2 days. Many would tire of that non sense and simply quite the game. Many already quite the game just due to MoP. My whole guild I'm in is all but dead on one server I play on and the other is completely dead and both had over 100 players in them. When I have caught up with some of them IRL and asked em about why they haven't been on. Each, in a nut shell, said they "weren't going to continue to play a game based off of the silliness of the Japanese and wanting the game turned to loony toons". If that ticked em off, how many people do you think would get even more beside themselves, having to endure a patch every two days? In short, even if it did go to that it wouldn't affect HB.
 
Hmm that is strange. earlier I had typed a response here and it didn't show up. So I came back and typed the latter and looked through the posts and now see my other is now here. LOL, I need a nap.
 
if blizzard do that, the number of paid accs will down to 5milions active accounts...
is too much U$
blizzard is stupid? i dont guess

This is what happened over on owned core. Blizz changed from compiling with vs2008 and switched to VS2010. But blizz also started to hide functions better and intertwining a few of them with warden which is always fun.
