never ending Temple of Kotmogu

[nikchaing]

Credit pretty much goes to Skipper1, followed his little exploit guide, but took a step further. When I had the orb in Temple of Kotmogu BG and was behind the statue like in Skipper's vid, I waited, and then went to the next roof above me. When our team got to 1600 points, the game kept going. The game finally ended when I cam back to mid.

Nice 'n' all, but there is no need to cover your name, if blizzard wants to ban you for this they can.

You have like a hidden "watermark" in your game that only blizzard can see with their special tools, It shows them from which account, which character, when and where this was printed.. So all print screens on stuff like this is easy for blizzard to track down.

Just a heads up to everyone

yea I've seen that, just wanted to avoid possible trolling because of my name \

edit: but thanks for trolling me on here instead

[jaczar]

was just letting you know. you can get rid of the watermark very easily. by resizing the photo in paint. it becomes invalid and when they try to rexpand it then it doesnt read out the same as it would have at 1080p etc

[nikchaing]

ah ok i see. so cropping does nothing to it?

Are there any benefits to do this? Did you continue receiving honor for holding the orb or is this just a coolish (useless) exploit?

That is a theory. So unless you are an employee for Blizzard and you are confirming this, then I would not state it as fact. What you stated has NOT been confirmed.

Nice exploit. +rep

@danne304 You do realize that he painted over the screenshot in paint? See where he "whited" out his name? That was actually a part of the watermark. The watermark is broken So technically speaking, even if they check your screenshots... Nothing would happen to him

nice exploit! I also wonder which team would win if both get 1600 due to this exploit an then finally u go to middle ?
And about watermark, i have strong assumption that it's very resistable to resizing, desaturating and other overall image effects due to it's nature. This is the binary data format represented by repeated combination of multiple squares wider than 1х1 px with lesser brightness. It is easy to recognize the position of that squares even when they crossed by lines or image quality degraded. The automaded image capture recognition exists and it is even harder than recognizing a square. Perhaps it is even recoverable after partial loss.
