Ingame image verification would be really nice. It would stop bots auto login.

However, it would mean that you have to type something more in, inorder to log in..

O wait i mean get DC from server

when you log in you will have a verify an image
gold bots arent montired by epople so they have to log into loads of bots them selfs
this will slow the gold sellin industry down ALOT

i disagree on the last part because if you are already logged in that means people (real players) still will get the disadvantage ..auto log in and the only thing those bot owners need to do is check the image while already using server space, so no thanks.

I really hope they will use this ingame but seems like the log in screen still have not changed after the check we will know what they actually changed but i think they will use this whole system when all updates are done.
this seems to be 1 of the many coming updates.

I don't care if i have to type in my login, pass and a image verify.. If that is what keeps the autologin bots out better + gold bots.. Well then i dont care! Makes me better

They should add something like. You have 1 minut to verify the image. If you dont you get dc. That would be nice because then the bots would get dc and people could login

I would love if they did that image thing at the login screen, do you know how.. god every server would be populated...lol. *prays to jesus the ydo that * Lol

Damn, SRO'd improve so much with ICV, I really hope they add that feature!

i hope along with the image verify at the log in scree, every two hours of gameplay you have to verify again as a pop up from the server.

though that would take an insane amount of thinking to even develop that into the game, the bots in game would be stopped after just 2 hrs of botting

of course the hours could be changed to 3,4,5 or whatever.

this would also disconnect the user if they dont verify in the alotted time ( could be like 5 min or something) and would make more server space so people dont leave stalls open for days on end which is bitter annoying for new server people getting in their days worth of sro.

i feel like ill get bashed, but i just thought of this up and i dont care what you guys think if its bashing it

I liek that idea, but every 3 hours, you can do a full GT grind without being disturbed then

RuYi · Post by **RuYi** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 10:52 am

Yeah every few hours the player should verify again, so the I'm-Stalling-All-Night-Lolz0rz-peoples are gone aswell.

Demarthl · Post by **Demarthl** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 10:53 am

yah, i'll just stall all day with my second box, tyhings will sell out faster because no one knows when it will disconnect D:

RuYi · Post by **RuYi** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 10:55 am

If things'll sell fast, you can make the prices higher.
There goes economy.. >>

Nice sig btw xD

lol ... image verification .. that will take a bit longer to bypass.. dont trow your fireworks already. anyways it will be nice if this stop goldbots aka annoying bots

Demarthl · Post by **Demarthl** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 11:21 am

it nullifies the use of 'restart' too, with a automatic DC message

Black_Mamba · Post by **Black_Mamba** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 2:10 pm

Does that stop normal afk botters who get dc'd too?

That would be annoying at peak hours though, trying to login and doing all that image stuff everytime lol

Demarthl · Post by **Demarthl** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 2:12 pm

peak just started, I logged in fine. I haven't seen -anyone- training around my area, traders pass through.

yesterday there was 9 other people within sight

wuhu!!!
no more auto login

Bots will still log in...

I wonder how people will react to a simple image code every 3 hours (not counting stallers)?

That will just prevent ppl from afk botting.

I think you only have to put it in after you successfully log in, I could be wrong though :-/

for some reason i don't think this would be as effective as you may think, someones going to come out with a way to get around it - just sit back and watch :p

they can add all the "security" they want, in the end all it takes is some time and its bypassed, the only way to stop botting 100% is to have a detection method, anyone who has botted in Diablo 2 in the past would understand exactly where I'm coming from

by no means am i bashing anyone, I'm just saying it will only do so much

just by doing that - (making stallers exempt from this verification) gives the people who develop the bot a starting point. =P

I only started playing recently, so here is my opinion of what's what.

When I first started playing, I noticed lots of DC. And lots of Bots running around the place.

After this little update, it has decreased. And playing is great. less lag, less DC everything, the whole bundle.

Yes, it will be bypassed over time, as all things are. But, I think the verifaction in game wouldn't bother all that many people. If it happenes every hour even, it takes 5 seconds of you life to type in a code.

Im my opinion, people who have many failed attempts at typing in the verifacation code, like 10 in a row (People will sometimes have problems somehow, that ARE legit players) should have a temporary ban or something similar. Because again, over time this will be bypassed.

This in-game verifaction to me sounds like a top notch idea for the moment atleast, although Joymax would have to invent something different every 3 months or so in order to keep botters one step behind.

Just my 2 cents as a n00b

***Edit: Just noticed. When I say botters, I mean botters, and 24/7 stallers.***
