You should't use turbo hud heck its against the eula why even discuss this, not mention players are getting banned for it just look at the previous ban waves.
Sigh, nobody has been banned for only using TurboHud.
That being said, if you don't want to get banned, then you shouldn't use TurboHud. It is clearly against the ToS. I use it since I wouldn't be playing D3 without it anyway due to not enjoying the (IMO) criminally poor UI. When/if the ban does come for TurboHud users, that just means I've more free time for one of the other games in my library.
I'm
seeing a lot of comments about people saying you can't be banned for using TurboHUD, or someone is lying if they say they were banned or that it isn't possible. Can someone give some constructive info to support these comments? From what I saw from the TurboHUD author I don't believe that to be the case. According to what he says it's entirely possible you could be banned for it:
It's definitely possible to get banned for using THUD. Anyone using it, myself included, have to be delusional to think otherwise.
It's a third party application, it's inherently against the ToS. Blizzard would be well within their rights to ban me or any THUD user. Won't stop me from using it until my number is punched though. I'd have likely quit by now if not for THUD improving the UI to an acceptable level for me anyway
Shorter: the OP is a cheater, option #1 guy. Sound about right?
Is TurboHUD cheating if Blizzard never chooses to ban for it? I mean, they could easily ban every single user of it at any point, so... it's awfully telling that they haven't.
THud is definitely cheating. It's a third party application which is quite clearly against the ToS. Anybody who uses and doesn't expect to eventually likely get banned for it is only fooling themselves. I'm well aware that I am likely to get banned for it, but until then, I will be enjoying my improved D3 experience and will bid adieu to D3 when/if the hammer drops. Since it means so much to people, I'll be sure to give my "I only ever used THud and no bots" godbye message ;P
But
I don't believe this QoL only shit at all. If you use turbohud you simply do it for maphack. From what you guys said it sounds too good to be turned off, if you already have th installed.
That's up to you I guess, but I can tell you I've turned the map hack off (believe it or not it is an option included with the base download of the program) and use it simply for the improved hud and QoL improvements.
rumor has it that this time THUD users were banned
Verification already said that it's not.
LOL wha r u blathering? Several hundreds of players have been banned permanently for turboHUD and similar garbage, and this is only the beginning, There will be constant bans from now on.
Nobody has been banned for solely using TurboHUD, that I promise you. The author of THUD has stated numerous times that the first time Blizzard takes action against THUD, is the second he stops supporting it.
He's not even done anything to fight off the Warden updates. It was other users who came up with ways around the detection by Warden.
To those that defended turbo hud, plz go ahead and keep using it, i dare ya
You got it. If I get banned I get banned. I'm OK with the consequences.
Sometimes I wish bigworded ppl like yourself will suffer the consequences just for a reality check!
Hahaha. My good sir, D3 is a videogame. The only consequences for me to "suffer" is being banned which would just mean I've more time for other games, certainly nothing of a "reality check". Trust me, I stand by what I said and if Blizzard ever does decide to come down hard on THud, I guarantee you I will be hit as I've taken zero of the suggested security precautions found on the THud forums. I don't even rename the application (which honestly would only prevent the most basic of checks anyway). If Blizzard wants to ban me for using THud, they are welcome to, heck I've even admitted to using THud on the official forums before (somewhere far more likely to get a response from Blizzard than my admittance here on diablofans where Bliz has no way of figuring out my battle tag). The great thing about being a gamer is I've a very large library of games just waiting to entertain me.
In my opinion, the base UI of D3 is disgustingly lacking, whether that be proper damage calculations for skills or quick and easy notice of whether you've cubed an item or anything in between, the base UI is about as useful as a fresh turd. Thus I improve upon it with THud. Believe it or not, I've even turned off the map hack portion of it (an option for all who download THud believe it or not). I'm not on the leaderboards... OK, that's a lie, my hardcore non seasonal crusader is on the leaderboards, but to be fair, all you need to do is beat GR20 solo and you're on the hardcore non seasonal leaderboards. I suppose it's more accurate to say I'm not on the leaderboards in any real competitive sense.
I'm not a fan of it. Friend of mine likes to leech off games all the time in pugs and I have to occasionally remind him whenever we get together "Hey, you're still wearing cain's, leorics ring and crown with a ruby, hellfire ring, and using a gem of ease instead of an emerald..." In general I simply leave a public game if there's an obvious person looking to leech or be carried.
Generally, I don't see any major problems with changes that keep us busy killing monsters.
So much this. Better off killing monsters than "Start Game, Check Bounties, Exit Game, Start Game, Check Bounties, Exit Game" over and over and over again.
yea i did pick up like 3 items from my stash that dropped for my monk, doesnt matter, biggest boost was from sets
i wouldn't be able to make those items that i have on my crus, cause id run out of legendary mats.
it's perfectly fine to boost your alts but thats just too easy now, jumping to t4 with a freshly dinged 70 ? shouldn't be possible
no mats = no gear = you have to actually slay monsters again to find upgrades
I understand the biggest boost was from sets.
Sets made possible because your MONK already found the pattern. Sets made possible because your MONK had already grinded out tons of crafting materials.
Considering the power of the RRoG and being able to combine multiple sets, T4 is very easy to reach, this should come as no surprise.Again, this is your second character to reach 70. You're cashing in on all the benefits that your Monk provides. You're right that it shouldn't be possible for a fresh 70, someone's first 70, to jump straight to T4, and it's not. A fresh 70 could not imitate your Crusader. A fresh 70 will have to run countless Act 1 bounties hoping that the cache finally drops their ring. A fresh 70 will have to kill countless creatures hoping that they get the right bs crafting pattern to finally drop. A fresh 70 will have to grind out hundreds of thousands of crafting mats to make it all after they finally get the pattern to drop.
There's no problem here. You did what should be possible. A fresh 70 would have no mats, fairly unimpressive gear, and will need to actually slay monsters to find upgrades.
almost 900k damage, around 10m def...my crus that dinged 70 yesterday night, geared up in town (except weapon/shield and shitty rolled rorg), can clear t4 already...
NOT fine...
How is it not fine? Don't act like that's normal. Your Crusader is your SECOND level 70 if it just dinged 70 last night. Has been given hand me down jewelery from your Monk (Willing to bet you rolled your "shitty" rorg's dexterity to strength, plus your other ring still has dex so there's definitely some hand me down going on, which is totally cool for your second+ characters)
Oh, and let's not forget the tons of crafting material you had due to having a decked out Monk.
It is actually completely fine that your new character can benefit from all the farming you did on your other. No player, on their first 70, will get NEARLY enough crafting materials to craft everything you did the other night. Let's also not forget that you're also benefiting from your Monk having already obtained all the patterns anyway.
It's completely fine that the Crusader is capable of handling T4. I'd be more shocked if you couldn't given all the benefits and hand me downs you were able to give it from your monk.

TurboHud does not modify game files at all. It simply reads memory and displays information Blizz can't be bothered to display.

I use THud, I understand it's a cheat and I am perfectly aware and understand why some chose not to use it so there must be 4 categories
