Demon Hunter super far Fel Rush travel

How is this an exploit? Using lag program to make stuff last longer is nothing new

[Alfalfa]

Gave it a quick try in Deepwind Gorge. Absolutely game breaking.

Holy shit that is awesome, I can't believe you're allowed to Fel Rush with the cart.

Watch the video on the previous page. Being able to extend the normal duration/distance of a spell through intentional lag is 100% an exploit.

Lagging is not an exploit, especially not when you're using a third-party program to do it

I think it can be considered as one when a skill like this improve too much your run speed and make you able to litteraly fly and reach area where you are not supposed to be.

Also, as i could see and try it myself, you can climb a very steep wall by using this, i was testing it in the open world (not so usefull as you can simply mount up and fly) but i guess there are some places where this is usefull somehow

Hey guys, just found this, if you use Lag7 and start lagging right after you Fel Rush, you'll keep doing the dash until your lag ends (usual max is 7 seconds of lag then a couple seconds to "unlag").

Note, it only seems to work if you use Fel Rush while in midair - casting while standing on the ground does not let you do this.

Here's a video:

Have you tried it with your main acc?

Considering everyone in the whole area can see you doing it i don't think that's a great idea.

Yep.

Lagging with speed increases is nothing new though, as someone said above. You can do it with any movement ability in the game really.

I got banned for doing this on my feral druid back in cataclysm in battlegrounds. However, doing it in instances and such by yourself is usually no risk.

Just to be clear.

var n = SELECT toons WHERE xyzCords.Sqrt > 100

foreach(var i in n) {
Ban(n);
}

As to "can they do that, its 3rd party" to which the answer is in the EULA

Unauthorized Connections: Facilitate, create or maintain any unauthorized connection to Battle.net or the Game(s) including without limitation (i) any connection to any unauthorized server that emulates, or attempts to emulate, Battle.net; and (ii) any connection using third-party programs or tools not expressly authorized by Blizzard;

ANY ATTEMPT BY YOU TO DISRUPT BATTLE.NET OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY GAME MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS.

Actually, legally speaking they could come after you not just post ban but through civil proceedings (not that they would given the cost vs reward) but thats within their right.

I mean, i'd probably do this exploit for small "human-centric" bursts.. but if you get the impulse to fly mountless across an entire zone like this, it would be trivial for them to filter and single out assuming they have the reporting capabiltiies.

I'd be extremely warying of blurring the difference between law and things corporation say. A corporation can make all kinds of stupid rules. These are nothing to do with the law. A court will not enforce a corporate regulation unless it coincides with a breach of the law. Corporations like to make people think otherwise, don't do their dirty work for them.

There is, in any case, zero prospect of Blizzard prosecuting anybody for something like this for a number of practical reasons. I would imagine they would only prosecute someone for exploitative activity resulting in major damage to their game (eg, crashing world server repeatedly).

I did this just 15min into my DH..

But yeah ofc someone has to post it and now blizz will patch :|

[Ezzpify]

foreach(var i in n) {
Ban(n);

Why iterate through the collection if you're just gonna ban the whole list anyways.

[Druccy]

lol, this is fun

Not saying they *would* but *should* they go after you, they could take civil proceedings under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)

Its moot point around Law pissing contest, suffice to say *should* they want to boot your butt for breaching their EULA and you want to fight back, it'd be a weak fight to have.
