Hackers are back

[Beerbeer]

Just ran into a new hack I haven't seen before.

Previous hacks I've personally witnessed were aimbots, this dude had an invul hack. I went back a few times to verify and he indeed had one.

Considering the rhetoric of recent bans, saying verifiable proof, then unbans makes me believe Sony has no power against hackers other than mass reporting. Boggles my mind really.

[Elahhez]

Hackers will always be an ongoing business in a game like this, a hunt that will never end, unfortunetely.

So yea, Reporting to get their attention. then they got tools to investigate.

[Wiifi]

Were you on Mattherson? It just crashed, and before it did some people were invulnerable. One of the many symptoms of a server crash.

[Beerbeer]

No. This was a br3 player on a different server who didn't glitch, warp, nothing. Just no damage taken.

It was pretty barren, just a few people around on this outpost so I can imagine hackers can now flourish if they're smart and avoid the one and only zerg on the continent, since hardly anyone is around to report them.

that defeats the purpose of hacking in planetside 2, bro.

hackers were drooling over the prospect of killing hundreds of people. if they have to resort to sneaking around at some remote outpost their chief goal is already defeated.

[Beerbeer]

Harmless? If you say so.

[moosepoop]

if they cant massively rage players, theyre harmless.

[Beerbeer]

I say maybe he's playing smart if he can continue on relatively undetected since Sony doesn't have any apparent countermeasures other than us.

discreet cheating ruins the fun of cheating.

the fun in cheating in planetside 2 is trolling hundreds of players at a time. not going to some remote outpost, turn down the aimbot acuracy so you die occasionally as to not look too suspicious. thats not fun.

[Ghoest9]

Are you sure it wasnt a bug.

[moosepoop]

also dont call them hackers, they are cheaters.

hacking takes skill. those guys are just pathetic losers who PAY to cheat.

[Crator]

Just report em. SOE got the logs and invisible mods in-game to check it out.

I wouldn't know the fun in cheating. Care to explain?

Meh... it is game jargon. Hacker = cheater using hacks in the video game slang. sure there are better and proper definitions but trying to change the way the word is thrown around is pointless.

Band-aid = elastic bandage no matter the brand
Kleenex = Tissue paper no matter the brand
Hacker = cheater no matter the lack of knowledge of programming.

If you have ever trolled someone, you know what cheating feels like.
