Meaning of "advanced macros" from TWAB and how to separate them?
In recent TWAB we all read about warnings and bans that will be caused by using "advanced macros" and special input devices, but I didn't clearly understand which type of macros are advanced? As example, I want to know, if somebody uses macro for Well-skating (fast input of 4 buttons) or other movement mechanics (skating, bhop, sparrow slipstream) does it count as advanced macro and is it punishable?

That would be bannable in mw2/r6 but unsure about d2. I don’t really consider those commonly used pc macros to be cheating but the loophole bungie is allowing means cheaters will just tweak their setup to avoid detection. Bungie new anticheat will fail just like fortnites, the way mw2/r6 is doing it is the way it must be done.

I assume that would count, but I think only Bungie knows without them providing further clarification. I would think a non-advanced macro could be something like one that keeps inputting your throw grenade key.

Gentlemen we found one.

Edited by CaptainOblivious: 4/14/2023 1:15:13 PMThe wording makes it seem like it would be more aimed towards macros that allow for a noticeable advantage over others and or being used in PvP activities. I would think well/shatter skating would be fine. People are capable of doing it without macros. The only way you could really tell if someone was using a macro to skate is if they told you. I suppose it really depends on how the ban works. Is the game detecting the use of software and banning that way, or is it going to be based off of reports from other players
