Razorox Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 http://www.battle.net/index.shtmlNow that is a lot of cheaters.I read that...atl least blizzard does something about cheaters, unlike some other companies we know... ::). Supposedly the map-hack is fixed aswell with the patch that came out yesterday :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin-Head Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Have they fixed the flying drone thing in SC yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaros Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Gob the title is slightly misleading because the article states they are banned for only 2 weeks.I knew they'd never ban CDKEYS for using the Maphack - that would cause a logistical nightmare and several multi-million dollar lawsuits against Blizzard. I do doubt you'll even see another CDKEY ban from Blizzard of this scope again. They are gonna have tons of irate customers harrassing their offices now, many of whom probably didn't even use the map hack (their kids might have done it without the CDKEY owner knowing it etc...). Blizzard will find that even banning CDKEYS for 2 weeks was a huge mistake that is simply not worth the consquences.Props to them for at least *supporting* their games though.

Gobalopper Posted September 8, 2002 Author Share Posted September 8, 2002 Ya they don't say if they will make the bans permanent, just that they might if people continue, but at least they are doing something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 BUT they do say repeat offenders can suffer permanent removal from Battle.net if they continue to use hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Have they fixed the flying drone thing in SC yet???flying drones? hmm i've never seen that, but then again i haven't played sc online for like 2 months. I do remember an enemy building a sunken colony IN my hatchery. It was creepy :). I couldn't kill it and that sunken just destroyed my base, sux badly. The map hack is just lame. I've never used it but i can imagine that people get a huge advantage when using a map hack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 i dont know if it was a map hack or just a rigged map.but i was playing this guy a game of meleethe map was just ore from what he told me. which is ok. since i like rines. well i looked and looked for his base.then i found it up in the top left hand corner of the map! he was harvesting gas! i had no vespane so i couldnt do a thing against him...i left.....that basterd....

Twin-Head Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Hah, thats funny. Heres a tip. NEVER play anyone with Viper in their name. Evry time i've played someone like that, they've rigged the map. I think that they are a cheating clan or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rhetoric Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Yeah,once I played this guy on a space map;Im totally isolated without any materials on a tiny peice of rock just big enough for 1 building!I hate those kind of people!And Twin Head is right,whenever I played against a viper,the maps been rigged.

DukeLeto Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Have they fixed the flying drone thing in SC yet???No, and they never will. They don't care about StarCraft anymore: they stopped patching it eternally when WarIII came out. That would get in the way of the Blizzard Entertainment WarCraft Dream. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 I heard of this map hack thing before but it hasn't happened to me yet. So what is it ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin-Head Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 It is a bug where if you start to build an extractor, you run out of minerals before the extractor starts then he is flying and he can fly and scout the map. There is a faster way to do it but i won't tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Is that everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin-Head Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 He can also build buildings off of the creep. in other words, he can build a creep colony out in the middle of nowhere off of the creep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 well they have supported SC for 5 years for gods sake and it's not as dead as any other c&c game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Yes it's good to see a game stays alive for so long, instead of all the players move on to some next games that happens to have better graphics but probably sucks ::). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
