The Dark Side

OK guys, please don't take this the wrong way...

In reading some of the columns on diabloii.net I noticed references to various battle.net forms of cheating. Let me make one thing clear - I have NO INTENTION of using any of these cheats. I was wondering if you guys could explain to me what the following are:

Maphack
Triggerhack
Chickenhack
Drophack
Occy rings
White rings
ITH weapons
Hex Charms

I don't want to know how to create them as I never intend to, I just want to know what columnists are talking about. (straps on 2 Dwarf Stars and Rising Sun in anticipation of flaming)

Maphack- Used to display the whole map, usually in MP. I used to use it for MF runs, but I don't anymore.

Triggerhack- Not sure. I know it has to do with PKing, though.

Chickenhack- I believe this is used to keep your life from dipping below a certain point, esp. in HC.

Drophack- Not 100% sure.

OCCY rings- Rings labled as SoJs but have stats from The Occulus.

White rings- I have heard rumors, but I never saw one.

ITH weapons- Someone makes a runeword in a weapon. Then, they manage to extricate the runes, preserving the stats from the runeword. The game sets the name to ITH as default. The sockets are then left open to have more things put in.

Hex Charms- Not sure, really. I heard they used to be the currency, along with White rings, on West before Rust Storm.

Maphack: A hack originaly created to reveal the entire map of an act. Though it expanded to do alot more. (show TC's,lvls,players EQ,etc)
Triggerhack: Forgot
Chickenhack: It basically automatically quits the game when your life drops beyond a certain point.
Drophack: A hack that well, drops you from a game. Very nasty in HC.
Occyrings: A ring that has each and every stat of an oculus.
White ring: A seriously screwed up ring. If memory serves, it does something like: 100 max damage, 95% light,cold,fire absorb, 100% ias and a ton of life leech.
Ith weapons: Interesting one here. Basically they are runewords (silence or fury) but have all the runes taken out, still keeping the runeword stats. Thus granting you the possibility to insert whatever you like.
Hex charms: Hexing small charms. They come in two variants: 90STR/DEX/VIT and 90STR/DEX/ENG

I've spend too much time on battle.net :scared:

Never used any of these though, well i used to carry MH around a bit.. heh. Dark times indeed!

Couldnt say about most of them but "white ring is very screwed up.

Its a "white" item ring

has stats like

100% Faster Run Walk
100% absorb all
50% LL
and i think some + dmg
Very very screwed up
oh and i think the "iths" are back on bnet east
I saw a guy with one on there last week
But it has a new name, it's just white
looks like a broadsword
+1500 min dmg [Based on clvl]
+1500 max dmg [Based on clvl]
60% Faster attack speed
100% ED
and some other crazy mods, oh and I was at level 40 viewing it, *shudders* think about that +dmg per clvl at 99
bnet is messed up...

Back when I played on bnet, I'll admit, I used the maphack. I used it for meph runs and the like, and also to prevent PK'ers. That's about it.

Another hack I used, but one that I don't consider bad in the least is the hardcore hack. I cant' find it anymore, so I had to beg to borrow someone's character around here. End result means I can play hardcore characters, but one method is a hack and the other isn't.

Hardcore hack simply makes the game think you've beaten it on normal with someone. For those of us who have frequently uninstalled the game "once and for all" it's a nice tool. Now it's almost impossible to find because most hack websites appear to have been taken down. So now it's just up to asking someone nicely to donate a character so you can create a hardcore one and then give it back like someone here did with me a few days ago.

Yea i remember a month or so before i left b.net, that some new hacked weapons were ariving. Nasty stuff. Glad i left :flip:

 

[narfman0]

Trigger was used for amazons... Shoot guided arrow, tp back to town and hostile, then the guided arrow would kill. (PK usually.) I don't really consider this a hack so much.

 

[Solo]

Well to do it you needed a 3rd party program. And it allows you to do something that would otherwise be nearly, if not completely impossible. So yea, its a hack. :spy:

 

[narfman0]

Shoot, town portal, press "p," and hostile someone? Someone started it without the hack first. Can't say I have ever done it though.

 

[bradley_turner]

theres also pickit which is lame in MP games because it makes you automatically pick up all of a predesignated item that drop thats anywhere near you, stupid "newbs" (dont know what else to call them without getting in trouble...) used to use it all the time in public cow runs to steal drops, lost a friggin wf and a gul rune from that... grrr

me and a friend sat around and tried to trigger eachother with our GA zons in 1.09, and its really really hard to do, because theres not a way to hotkey "hostile" to a hotkey

i admit that at one point in time i used most of those hacks on bnet, except hexes and whites, but i never triggered in hardcore at least, just used it to mess around, and its not like any of those hacks actually matter if you just play the game however you want to get your jollies (i like my jollies... >.>)

Hm yes i'm sure its possible. But you're timing would have to be so amazingly perfect... nah :cheesy:
