Those are hack and slash games after all. ;) I slashed more than hack in diablo.

TBH I don't understand "cheating" in games at all. I'm old player that prefer very hard games. If I use cheats to cheat than I'm taking away my pleasure, difficulty lvl. If game is not hard than there is no point playing it, it should be a movie.

Beside if themida was "final solution" than big companies would start using it long time ago.

lol Themida is horrible, I dont want my softwares being acused of virus by all anti virus programs lol

I can't stay on topic... quite tired, but...

Yea, drop rate doesn't equal difficulty when extinction is involved though.

Spoiler:

(mobs don't respawn in the Diablo games... once you have cleared an area of enemies, it's clear until you reset the game world and throw away all your portals, quests and lore)

When everything in any area you can play is dead, there are no more drops to be legally had and your current weapon scores a guaranteed 0 hit points on the mobs in the next level... it doesn't matter how skilled a player you are, you are dead.

At Nightmare, (difficulty) dead is dead. There are no respawns or second lives, your character is just dead and you need to start another one. Now... that's fine. But why should I have to make each new character I create play the first level 500 times, the second 250, the third 125, the fourth 62 the fifth 31 etc. so that I can get it to the end?

That's just simply "too low a drop-rate". I know, in an on-line game you could trade items with other players, but off-line there where no other players, and the game mechanics are totally different.

Again, on-line it isn't necessary, and isn't fair. Off-line, it's *my* game, and I'll play it how I want. I *want* to play it "in the right order". (actually, I just wanted to be able to trade items with the other characters I had already played the game to completion with, or reactivate the waypoints to reset just the map I'm currently on, but that's not possible single-player ... well, it is if you take it LAN, but that needs two computers ... or it did, at that time) Anyway, the easy way was to "hack" inventory or map from one savegame to another. XD

Cheating is fine, so long as you are playing Solitaire. :thumbup1: When you play Poker; you don't cheat. :thumbdown:

I often take money from one of my accounts to pay an urgent bill coming from another. I never take money from someone elses' bank account to pay my bills. :wink:

Here's another example of "cheating" in Single-Player.

Spoiler:

Anyone else play Skyrim? I love that game, but the lock-pick mini-game is really pants compared to the Oblivion one. It destroys lock-picks no matter how good you are, and your character gets better by destroying picks? Stupid. I'd like to replace it with the Oblivion one, but since I can't, and it annoys me and would otherwise put me off playing an excellent game, I just use the "Lockpick Pro" mod to just tell me the right lock-pick angle. :lol: If there where a multi-player version, that wouldn't be fair and I'd just leave locked rooms and chests to the thief in my party. (it would stop me playing thief class) :ott1:

Maybe there is a call for a "thief companion" mod :o you could direct them "Unlock that..." and if they have picks and the skill they would do it for you. :D Meanwhile, you have to play your Mage / Warrior totally breaking thiefs' cover and still keep them alive in all your dungeons so... no unbalancing. ^_^

It also wouldn't matter if you didn't have to pick locks no matter what class you play. :\

Anyway, is Themida any good at stopping Hazits cheaters? I seriously doubt it is.

I bet their Xtrap is, not Themida. But their packed game is OK because since they use a licesed version, the anti virus does not show false positive as only the cracked version has this issue, on purpose of course. So if you really wanna use it, buy it, or forget about it. Not worth it, since you wont find the newer versions cracked, you will only find the versions that everyone has and knows how to unpack.

So you think you are smart by using cracked softwares, but... huh... you're not. (at least in this case XD)

I have doubts that Xtrap can work with themida at all. Most likely Xtrap is reduced to check if PT is running already.
I also think that by packing client with themida they actually reduced security. I never seen any other game that have xtrap and themida at same time. I mean how Xtrap can check for hacks when biggest hax is already running...

bPT *is* packet with Themida and runs with xtrap normally. The game is not packed to avoid hacker, but to prevent editions, or anyone to copy their stuff

It would be difficult to ensure correct operation of XTrap under Themida, but I can also assure you I haven't been able to download bPT client for a while past the Anti-Malware in my gateway. :ott1: If I was BR, they lost a paying customer, coz I'm not setting an exception against that crap. :lol:

well, what i see is : xtrap+themida = works fine
xtrap+themida+Custom_Look = works fine
xtrap+themida+custom_look+write_field = Npc's and skills doesnt work anymore.
xtrap+(NO-themida)+custom_look+write_field = works fine
xtrap+themida+write_field = Npc's and skills doesnt work anymore.
xtrap+write_field = Works fine.

Dump Themida at the side of the road like the cheap whore it is and remember that what is seen is not all there is to be had = joy. :D: It even sounds like a name you'd give to a genito-urinary infection. :lol:

:knuddel:
H: "Wanna come round to my place for a coffee later?"
S: "Oh I'd love to but I've got a spot of Themida right now."
:vroam:
