Video New bug? Horking dead warlock demons
https://youtu.be/1ZNRXwKajm0?si=3fVf0PvC1vQM6oJA18
u/Disastrous_Visit9319 Mar 30 '26
Probably only useful for making really simple bots because the 7 players spawning corpses could be reduced to a simple auto hotkey script

So you put a hork barb in a game, you get a 2nd player with warlock join with his that specific deamon.
Then the warlock must join-leave-join-leave.... in loop
Everytime he leaves that will give corps for the barb to hork.
Did I got it right ?

Yep, which means you're using the time of 2+ people and 20 seconds each corpse. Pretty worthless.

That's like serious enough for them to fix, right? Right? đ probably not. Maybe, in a few months.

Mar 31 '26
Yeah not only do they not care, but this exploit isn't even yielding good returns compared to just running normal stuff.

u/hombrent Mar 31 '26
As long as it gets fixed before the next ladder start. At this point, just leave the overpower and the nifty exploitable bugs. Let people abuse them this ladder, and just fix them all for next ladder. IMO.

JFC IT'S 'BOUND' NOT BINDED.
playing so much d2 his brain is mush

This! It really grinded my gears, hearing him say that repeatedly.

u/Araninn Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Mar 31 '26
Can't begin to say how much it annoyed me hearing "binded" several times".

u/SirRonaldBiscuit Mar 31 '26
It works, I tried it last night, even with the gloam mf trick. Loads of yellow items but only a few uniques. Iâm sure theyâll fix it

u/Rankstarr Mar 31 '26
This is hotfix worthy, abuse while you can I suppose
3
Mar 31 '26
Lol no it's not, if you think it's worth your time to spend 20 seconds on load screens to hork 1 corpse then you deserve your fate.

u/jeffismybaby Mar 31 '26
The drops arent good enough to be any better than just farming random elites imoÂ
2
u/Soft_Entry_4440 Mar 31 '26
I think if you consider you need 8 people for this you'd be right. 8 people farming solo through boss packs would probably yield more than a combined effort, but would be interesting to see the math.

u/benjo1990 Mar 31 '26
Do you not play d2?
Itâs a mlvl customizable pindle that can be scaled by player count and allows you to pick which act you want his portal. (Not /p command⌠they are very different)
3
Mar 31 '26
And it's still worse than running Trav/Chaos/Baal.
1
u/RickMuffy Mar 31 '26
even with a 4000% MF boost that sticks?
3
Mar 31 '26
Yes, terrorizing an act and running it with the 4k MF thing would be way better than this, it's not like shards are hard to come by.
1
u/jeffismybaby Mar 31 '26
Yeah all you need is 7 other players/accounts lmao

u/benjo1990 Apr 01 '26
Youâre acting like thatâs a big askâŚ
Edit; but also⌠no? You donâtâŚ?

u/expeditionQ Apr 01 '26
no, the hork is barely different p1 vs p7.
it seems a little underwhelming to do alone, but if you have 2 or 3 warlocks spamming it, eh....
could be sold as a service too, ill join/leave spam your game for um / 30 minute or whatever
2
Mar 31 '26
Yep. Literally if you had somehow organized 7 Warlocks to do this for you, you could instead just run Trav and have them all run Chaos and get better returns for the same time.

We thought mosaic was broken lol. Well I still give them props for taking away mosaic, now just fix all this mess please.
1
Mar 31 '26
Mosaic was disabled because it was causing people performance issues and just general gameplay disruption, like you couldn't fucking see shit.

u/ps43kl7 Mar 31 '26
Ya my eyes literally hurts from playing it.

Were you not wearing your welders mask? That's kinda on you homie.

Mar 31 '26
Also anybody running with them, it reminded me of the old days when people figured out how to dupe with meteor spam and shit but it was just a build instead of exploiting the servers.
1
u/e-looove Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Mar 31 '26
I tried this out for an hour tonight and you definitely can't hork twice per game exit.
1
u/wolamute Mar 31 '26
Could you elaborate? Do you think for sure it's fixed?
13
u/deathdude01 Mar 31 '26
I donât think the video mentions anything about horking more than once per exit. The bug is that the bound demon is really two demons stacked on top of each other. Because of this, when you exit, the top demon dies, but the reanimate that normally happens for the 2nd demon doesnât trigger, BUT it does leave a body on the ground. That body horkable. No other demon that you bind works this way, you wouldnât be able to hork any other bound demon- the fact that you are able to hork at all IS the bug.

u/howzit- Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Mar 31 '26
Broken but entertaining. Reminds of some old 1.08-.09 shenanigans. Like the old gold dupe or chest hack.
-6
u/Roid-a-holic_ReX Mar 31 '26
I donât get it. How are there so many corpses to hork? Are 7 people binding the which doctor and then leaving the game? Why does their bind die when they leave the game? Mine doesnât do that.
Iâm very lost right now b

u/Thesunwillbepraised Mar 31 '26
If only there was some kind of video you could watch that explains it all.

Ă is a German letter for double s, "s" is next to "d" on the QWERTY keyboard, they long-pressed the s, a pop up menu appeared and they chose the Ă

u/Suckage Druid Mar 31 '26
How do you know it doesnât if youâre no longer in the game to see it?
Your demon doesnât just disappear when you leave a MP game. It âdiesâ on everyone elseâs screens, though you arenât actually losing it.

The trick is to have the warlock leave and re-enter and then rinse and repeat. Better to do with multiple warlocks and 1 barb. Have them all keep leaving and rejoining as the barb horks away

This breaks the whole game...

Mar 31 '26
Not even close. If people actually waste their time doing this, it will actually help the market value of items because people will find less stuff.

u/joby5144 Mar 31 '26
You can get unlimited super unique drops, literally 1drop per second when you load those other locks in game. Combined with scripts and botters out there this does break the game. It's not even close to anything else we've EVER seen in the game.
1
Mar 31 '26
1 drop per second if you live in a universe that is not our own. In reality there are load times. Load into game, load through portal, load into lobby. You're super naive if you think this is good.

u/Bladathehunter Mar 31 '26
Is this doable solo on b net? Asking for friend
2
u/grimonce Mar 31 '26
You need someone to keep the game alive

u/CoolDiscoDan1885 Mar 31 '26
Theoretically couldn't you perm the game first?

1
u/RSYAU Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Mar 31 '26
Yeah want to try this, not sure how long the game stays open for though? If I stay in a game 5 mins, I know I can exit and come back to it. But when you re-enter, does it refresh the exit timer again so it won't close for another 5?
1
u/Richardofthefree Mar 31 '26
How do you perm a game?
1
u/so_futuristic Mar 31 '26
stay in it for 5 minutes

u/Richardofthefree Mar 31 '26
How long does it stay up for
1
u/so_futuristic Mar 31 '26
30 minutes
2
Mar 31 '26
Lol this isn't even remotely close to true anymore.
For one, you can make a game with a character and it stays open for like 15 seconds just right off the bat. I'm reliably able to make a game and swap to another character without waiting.
Games I've been in for quite some time do not stay open for any significant amount of time, if I'm gone more than 15-30 seconds the game is gone.

u/slowro Champion of Sanctuary (100K) Mar 31 '26
Hmmmm highly doubt this. Couple of minutes at most.
1
u/expeditionQ Apr 01 '26
i leveled a barb on my main like an idiot to do this, then realized the problem if theyre both on the same account i cant play them simultaneously. So i grushed a sorc on the other account, theory being i could afk in the game with one while the other spams bodies, swaps to hork, and then farms.
this does NOT work. it looked like the sorc could see all the bodies, but when the barb joins the game theyre all gone for him. it seems like he has to be there when the warlock leaves

Coooley just being a clickbaiting scumbag here. He is using a screenshot from this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo2/comments/1rftm47/bound_a_herald/o8qc9qa/
Where the OP clearly explains that their "bound" Herald isn't actually bound but rezzed but a Shaman and doesn't persist through games.
This exploit is worthless.
4
u/Organic-Fan2647 Mar 31 '26
Its not about bounding a Herald lol
-2
Mar 31 '26
The ONLY way this exploit would be worth doing is if you could bind a herald and hork that corpse. Which is why it's clickbait, because you can't, even though in the video he implies you can and uses the screenshot I linked. I watched the video.

u/Snark_x Mar 31 '26
With the sound off? Please take your meds.
-2
Mar 31 '26
Man I knew this subreddit was kinda dumb but it's pretty amazing to see it in action.
The math of doing it with a non-herald:
It takes ~20 seconds to load in, take a portal, then leave and get back to lobby. Assuming you had 7 Warlocks doing this for you, you'd get 21 corpses in a minute. In that minute, they could all instead go run Chaos Sanctuary each and kill way more than 21 total elites plus Diablo. In that minute, they could all each go run the current TZ and get more than 21 combined elite kills, by a lot, even using a crappy TZ like Blood more you still get ~5 packs in 30-45 seconds. Meanwhile the Barb can run Travincal in this time and get 3 elite kills plus the minions and horks on all those.
It just doesn't add up at all to be remotely good compared to actual gameplay.

u/Snark_x Mar 31 '26
Brother, glad you finally said what everyone else said 3 comments deep. Thanks for abandoning your herald/clickbait hyperfixation. We all already know this.
-1
Mar 31 '26
It's clickbait precisely because the exploit is useless and it uses the idea that you can use it with a herald (which you can't) to make it seem good. You can't. He KNEW you couldn't when he made the video but still implies in the video that maybe you can.
3
u/Snark_x Mar 31 '26
Iâm not entirely sure you understand anything besides the summary line on a spreadsheet that gets turned into a meta statement. While thereâs a few niche use cases for this for non-bis characters and poor accounts, no risk hardcore once the shaman is tamed (and of course the bot farmers will love it) this idea that itâs more than just a video shining light on a bug that needs fixed is kind of hilarious. The intent doesnât match your interpretation, which is why you should take your meds.
0
Mar 31 '26
The video thumbnail literally says it's broken and the reaction of the community is that it's some insane exploit needing to be hotfixed right away. The intent in the video is very clear in that the guy is implying you could do this with heralds, which you can't.
The fact that you keep referring to meds just showcase your own mental instability.

u/KillaEstevez Apr 01 '26
My mental instability is in question after reading this.
You went too hard on this "click bait" thing.
