Key binding - TOS?

Hello!

I am currently going abit crazy about the mashing of flasks, seems completely ruthless and it is hurting my wrist lmao.

I know that auto-keys arent allowed, but am I allowed to keybind one key, with 4 different flasks, but the key has to be pressed 4 times to activate all the flasks, so it isnt a multi key, but just a modified key that changes from 1-2-3-4 and resets.

Is that agianst TOS?


Thanks for answers in advance.

1 client action for 1 server action is ok.

So the server wont detect that as a 3rd party program, even tho its a keybind with 4 different options? Really dont want to get banned lmao

Guess it isnt allowed, jesus christ... How isnt that allowed, it isnt a benefit in any way, only thing it does is not destryoing your wrist lol



"Can I click a macro several times to use multiple flasks?
No; macros which alternate, or rotate, between multiple actions aren't approved."

You somehow completely misunderstood what the previous person said.

1 client action = 1 server action is fine.

triggering four flasks is 4 server actions. So you need at least 4 button presses or equivalent to trigger them.

In other words, the previous person was simply answering what you found for yourself later one.

No, I am talking about if I have a macro that rotates, so if I click it once, it clicks 1 pot and I click it agian the same key will active another pot, so the macro will only do one action each click, its just a keybind that alternates between 234 for example.

This isnt allowed, which is crazy..

I think things are getting lost in translation here. What the OP is asking about should be perfectly acceptable to the TOS. He is performing 1 client action (clicking his macro key) and it is resulting in 1 server action (a single flask getting used). The macro is not changing the number of server actions that get performed per keypress so that is within the TOS. TOS does not care which keys are pressed, only that they result in 1 server action.

I think it should b ok cos 1 click 1 action is fine with TOS.. Mayb ask support;)

I'm pretty sure this is against the ToS. You can send e-mail to GGG's support and ask them directly.

I found workaround with flask hotkeys for myself: i bind 1234 flasks to ASDF keys and 5 flask to Space key. This is way more comfortable for me than default was.

Changing your keyboard layout while playing the game is not against the ToS, and that's what your "macro" is equivalent to doing, now that you've explained it better.

Further, there's no way they could detect what you have now described.... They don't have access to your keyboard layout, they only have access to what your button presses are instructing your computer to do.

If you do end up asking Support directly, please be incredibly abundantly clear about what your macro will do--don't merely describe it, but directly contrast it from a macro that can simulate multiple button presses by going into detail about it being equivalent to changing your keyboard layout. Because if you just write what you wrote in your first comment, support will just go "oh they're asking about flask macros. Not allowed!"
