Is there a solution for RoMedic?

[OnceROErebus]

Im a GM of a server an the use of RoMedic is a big problem for the PvP community. We are looking for some kind of way to block it. Does it exist? Script, harmony patch... anything?

Correct me if I'm wrong. RoMedic = Autopots right?
I've never had an issue with players using autopots but here are some ideas to throw out there.

Packet Obfuscation? (rAthena and Hercules emulators)
Disable pots in PvP?
HaShield?

Really depends if you are willing to spend. If you want a free solution, then try Packet Obfuscation and GRF Encryptions (no connection to WPE). Just another layer of security.

If you have some bucks to spend, I would try HaShield over Harmony. Harmony, afaik, only supports up to 2012-04-10 clients. HaShield is decent though and fairly cheaper compared to harmony resellers.

Double potion delay and healing

gonna be honest. RO medic is not an issue in terms of balance for a ragnarok server, since most top level play coincides with the spam rate of the program anyways. it's more of a thing that makes it "easier for noobs" to maximize their character, rather than an actual "cheating/hacking" problem. if you're good at the game, you can kill someone spamming pots with medic just as easily as you can do it to someone just spamming normally. because of this, i don't think it's worth the effort of chasing after an unachievable goal of blocking people out from making programs to counter your counter to their counter to your counter to their counter to your counter of their program. it's just a wild goose chase.

just like multi-clienting, your goal should be to balance the game around mechanics that do exist in the game, whether we like it or not. none of us have any true control to dictate how the game works. 99.9% of the in-game solutions to this problem will ruin the pvp ecosystem and completely shift the balance and dynamics between classes, which is an established good(and probably only redeemable) part of the game.

No human can consistently spam 10 pots/second while doing something else. Hell, even if I concentrate on doing only that I can't press it 10 times per second unless I use some kind of muscular trick that I won't be able to perform outside a controlled environment.

Uuuuh, I can keystroke 26 times a second while casting skills and moving but might be due to playing WoE for almost 20 years. Plus when I just spam doing only one thing I reach 47 clicks per second, a program just makes it so more players are able to keep up.


Plus this is a 2015 post, why did you guys necro the heck out of this one?  xD
