Diablo III Hacking?

[May 21, 2012, 11:33 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A bunch of threads on the Diablo III forums from players who've experienced unauthorized access to their accounts suggest their may be a security issue with the action/RPG sequel or that the game's future support of real-money auctions has attracted more hacking attempts than one would consider normal. The threads in question are: Ummm...all of my gold and items are gone, Hacked. GG Online Only Single Player DRM, Hacked with an authenticator, and The hacker found (with screenshot). Thanks nin.

I haven't played yet, but a lot of these general gameplay complaints sound like they'd fit D1/D2, as well. Ones that do concern me, though:

- Account hacking. Duh
- Rubber banding and latency
- Lack of enemy variety (though this is coming from a source that isn't seeming too valid here)
- Lack of interesting items

Let's be honest, D1/D2 gameplay was pretty shallow and stupid; you basically clicked a billion times with your mouse while desperately slamming hotkeyed potions. It was marginally more involved than MMORPG gameplay (yet still counted as a game to me, whereas the combat in MMORPGs doesn't fit my definition.) The exploration was a draw, at least the first time through, and the item collecting crack was really what kept you there (which is why I never understood how item hackers kept playing - what fun was it when you already had the best stuff?)

The rubber banding, though, will keep me away for a while. Which is fine, I started Uncharted over the weekend and am enjoying it as much better than the sum of its just-ok pieces, even if I think the camera made me nauseous last night (first time ever for a video game!)
