Ran into my first hacker

[Beerbeer]

Total aimbotter and he was on my team unfortunately. You can tell he was hacking by his almost mechanical movement and his snapping to targets, although the flood of kill spam was probably enough.

Really hope Sony does something fast as rampant cheating will kill a game fast. Lost trust is something that is hard to get back.

There will always be aimbotters no matter how hard any game company tries.

That is untrue. It just that no one want to spend the resources to eliminate them all. But you can get a game 100% free from all cheaters if you truly wanted and did not hesitate to use every method, legal or not.

The only way to do this is to eliminate the game client from the player's pc altogether and run it from the cloud (similar to onlive)

As long as the game software runs on a player's machine where he can tamper with it there will be cheaters.

I don't see this happening any time soon

Up until a couple days ago I didn't notice any blatant hacking going on. But now I've seen it. Someone was defiantly shooting me through walls the other day. It was slow pot shots being taken and I was in HA so I didn't die right away. Ran into a base then into a corner where my empire mates were and was still getting one shotted until I died. Pretty sure I was being shot through the wall.

Not to mention it seems the PS2 forums are getting slammed by threads/posts with cheats... Seems to be getting a bit crazy now....

The problem is this 24/7 dev presence in game was BS. My outfit mates and myself have reported well over 20 cheats on connery server. These where guys who where blatently speed hacking from point to point in a base to others who where aimbotting. Guess what...they are still playing. This has got to be bumped up to top priority for Devs. Because it truly is getting out of hand.

Fuck my life:

I would take these videos down. Last thing we need is more idiots figuring out where to go.

[Hamma]

If you want to help, report those videos to SOE. Do not pos them in public.

[Rodel]

This sucks but keep posting and reporting when you see it. I have my outfit doing the same and it's best that we put up the effort to protect the games integrity. After that it's in the dev's hands.

[Canaris]

I don't usually wish ill on people but then I remember that those who use hacks don't deserve to be classed as people.

Now all we need is some rapid saber toothed crotch crickets

[StraitDumpinSMF]

I forgot this forums is lame sorry

[Beerbeer]

Can't understand a hacker's mentality either.

Removes any sense of achievement and challenge of the game, which to me is the whole point of it.

^ One reason they do it is to farm certs. Then they go sell the character on a black market to someone who wishes to skip the grind. It's not good business to have these hackers in the game. Especially due to it being F2P.
