Diablo IV, released on June 6, has adopted an online structure to allow faster updates and protect the game against cheats and exploits. Therefore, Blizzard warns that even well-intentioned mods can lead to permanent bans in the action RPG.
This week, Adam Fletcher, the company’s community manager, confirmed the information in the game’s official forum. Blizzard’s Terms of Service they explicitly prohibit cheats, bots and hacks, prioritizing the security and integrity of the game.
In his statement, Fletcher also noted that TurboHUD4 mod for Diablo IV is banned due to its use of overlays that alter the basic information of the game and its interface. The tool also makes it easy to discover items and resources in your inventory.
Blizzard prioritizes the security and integrity of Diablo IV.
The most prominent feature of TurboHUD4 that caught the attention of Blizzard is its ability to reveal the map of the dungeons before they are exploredgiving players an advantage when quickly moving towards their objectives.
However, Blizzard’s stance towards mods in Diablo IV differs from that adopted in games like World of Warcraft, where if these tools are allowed (called addons) that improve accessibility without giving unfair advantages or altering the content of the game.
Fletcher emphasizes that Blizzard will not just ban users who mod the game. The community manager mentions that various “disciplinary measures” will be appliedwithout giving further details for the moment.
