Hotfix released for Diablo 3 God-Mode exploit – Video Games Update
Blizzard has announced that it has released a patch for the invulnerability exploit that was discovered two days ago in Diablo 3.
The exploit enabled the hackers to become immune to any damage if they were playing with the Wizard class. This meant that exploiters would be able to play the hardest difficulty mode without dying and thus getting much better loot which could be auctioned
off at the Real Money Auction House (RMAH).
The exploit was brought to Blizzard’s attention yesterday when some user posted the directions on how use the exploit and asked Blizzard to fix it as soon as possible. Other gamers joined in and said that they would be exploiting the ‘god-mode’ on the hardcore
difficulty until Blizzard fixes it. Chances are that a lot of the exploiters have already amassed a lot of loot which would be worth a small fortune when sold at the RMAH.
Another user has revealed on the forums that this exploit was discovered over two months ago which means that a lot of hackers must be abusing it ever since. This news also makes one wonder about the economy of the RMAH and how legit players are losing out
because of hackers who manage to get better loot and thus are able to make more money through the RMAH.
Blizzard has requested gamers on the official forums to keep reporting any bugs they find and stated, "We will continue to carefully monitor this issue and welcome anyone with information about bugs or hacks to submit a detailed report to our Hacks Team
by emailing hacks@blizzard.com, or by completing the Hacks Report web form. In your correspondence, please include any steps necessary to replicate the issue as well as any additional details you are able to provide."
It seems that Blizzard can’t seem to catch a break ever since RMAH went online as now that the ‘god-mode’ exploit is fixed, many gamers are complaining on the official forums that the most fun that they ever had with Diablo 3 was because of the exploit and
many claimed that they will stop playing the game again. Cheat codes were always popular in games like Diablo but won’t work in Diablo 3 because of the inclusion of the RMAH.
