What is GGG policy on modifying their client with a third party program?
|
I'm talking about some of the lower end "hacking", e.g., cheat engine? I haven't tried it and I don't plan on it, but it seems like the game is open to it. And by "open to it" I mean that there are no safeguards, not that the policy of GGG is somehow tacitly approves of it.

" Does that mean that I can artificially increases my orbs for the sake of research right now without fearing punishment? |

If you can do it that easily, then yes, and make sure you inform the devs on how it was done so it can be prevented.

" That was my intention. I'm working on it. I got tired of trying to find the pointer so I gave up, but I'll get back on it after 9.11. |

I doubt you can successfully gain orbs by altering the amount of a stack on the client. I'm fairly certain that it will check against the server when you try to use them.

" Are you going to use something like Punkbuster to do it? Also, what are you going to do if dedicated hack-download websites for PoE floods the internet. An example of a game were this occurs is Diablo II. So far i have not noticed anything in the game that bothered me in the form of hacks or spam/farm bots alike. Do you guys already have a security system or what? An example of a game where hackers and bots are fairly free to hack in is Diablo 2. I really dont want this game (PoE) to be taken over by bot farming programs when it is releashed. One thing that might prevent it somewhat is the fact that you cant buy stuff for real money to give you an advantage in PoE. Still, this is the same for Diablo II, yet the game is flooded by all sorts of hacks and bots. Sincerely BTW, you being in this forum and reading about this orb problem is just what needs to be done. Im not trying to give GGG orders, im just trying to make it clear that hacks and bot can ruin PoE if nothing is done. |

I can't talk specifically about what systems we'll use to detect people who bot or exploit Path of Exile (for obvious reasons), but we'll work hard to make sure that they are banned as swiftly as possible.

" No matter what I do, the only people who will hear about it is employees of GGG. I don't want to ruin the game by hacking, I was just curious to conduct some tests on the currency items. |
