Any word on TPPK?

Will it be finally patched? Can't be THAT difficult to remove the TPPK attacks when you go to town (they did it with traps + hydras after all right?).

Here's hopin'!

This is also my reservation about the ladder reset. If it remains then the realms will be exactly as they are now within a few weeks of the reset.

I'll watch this one with interest next week.

Yes, We all work at blizzard and are going to tell you of all people if it will be patched.



I personally couldn't care less if it was or wasn't patched, Doesn't affect my d2 life much except for some fun. I would much rather hacks like mh, bots, Blackwall, AA, Chicken and things.

Instead of crying about tppks, do like me, try to hunt them down and kill them :), 95% of them are cowards, just remember that u need to 1 hit kill them because of their chicken script :)

to do that, you have to have some serious moolah to support your build on being strong enough to pk and withstand their tppk attack.

Moolah is where the problem is, hunting them is easy --> make a public baal game and they show up like bears to honey. Or something like that lol.

It's all nice to puff your chest out and say "hunt them down and kill them", hell it's even amendable, but it's not a realistic nor practical solution to the problem. If it were, it wouldn't have ruined HC the way it has. There really is no effective way to fight back against it for the players or community.

I really hope we get a technical patch with the reset that fixes, among other things, the TPPK.

They've already taken a stance against legit tppk, that being hydras. Though that was more often than not wppk, or redportalpk :). But yeah, either a tp hostile timer or just removing projectiles after you enter a TP. I imagine the former would be easier. I don't know what the easiest option would be to take out the current dupe method, perhaps drop you if you make too many bone walls or poison spears? They could make any game which causes x amount of server latency close. They have it in place for games with inactivity for x amount of time already :D

legit tppk should be allowed but i still like hostile delay
no it shouldn't... that's like saying every 10 fights a boxer has to fight his opponent with both arms tied behind his back

there should never be a chance to kill someone without them fighting back unless they're afk in the blood moor

Edit: hostile delay is no good, actual PKing is a huge part of HC (or it used to be) and as long as they have to come for you it's fair, they could however implement like a 3second delay to hotfix tppking

I still think it should be aloud, HC would be so boring without any dangers in HC. It's damn hard to die PvM if your carful and have ok gear.



I dont care if tppk is fixed, Doubt it will. I like it, another thing to cause death in hc. More of a challenge =]

I don't know what HC would be like w/o tppk, People will probably start baal runs and just Hot Tp everyone =]


( Legit PK is fun =] )

It's not something you can realistically outplay. You can only strip out fun parts of the game. Don't play in public. Don't play with class, class, and class. Don't use challenging builds that lack a ton of survivability.

Randomly killing 1% of the characters on Bnet would reduce boredom, but wouldn't be fun. TPPK is the same idea.

I really doubt there will be a patch. Just a reset of the ladder. If TPPK was nullified I would be one very happy camper, though.

I don't understand how you can like tppk because of the "challenge". You are obviously in the minority. Just check out the number of games in nightmare and hell for confirmation.

I think it is. I know of the lack of games...I don't like getting tppk'd. But i like how it keeps down pubby baal games etc. There are plenty or normal runs. Which can get you to 45ish when i solo/get nm baal.


Alot of people like tppk. (Most are ones that use it) But some are like me and don't really care =]

Random question, What would you prefer banned? AA,flash hack,etc. or tppk?

This smells a little like troll bait. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, here's a reply. tppk is the number 1 most despised hack there is. If you suspect someone is using AA, chicken etc, just don't duel them. tppk doesn't give you that choice, in addition to being a totally cowardly kill method.

TPPK is more degenrative to hardcore than any other hack ever was. It would be much better to be able to join public games, even if it was to play solo. Having 0 public games really ruins the experience in alot of ways for a lot of people.
