Hacking is out of hand...

tStar · 2013-04-24, 12:41 AM

I have only been playing for maybe a week now on connery and it seems one specific outfit on the VS side seems to be able to headshot you while running away from you or their scythes have 2x the rate of fire it had when I tried using one.... I am on NC and TR is a fun and usually epic fight but then VS shows up w/10 people and dominates everyone. I know the GMs are working on it but nothing ruins my night more than a bunch of VS hackers coming along and just being jerks... please try to get this fixed asap

That would be the Hailstorm Turbo.

Chances are I know exactly the scythes you're talking about and they're just REALLY good. They'll make mince meat of anyone not prepared for them. It's just another example of the product of a massive power/skill gap between br70+'s and new players.

I have flown mosquitoes. I have flown scythes.

...between the two of 'em, I find the scythes to be easymode compared to the mossies. That said, I am starting to get better at my mossie flying.

Haven't seen a hacker for a long time. Few "might be aimbot" cases, but since you can't be sure about them at close range, haven't even reported them.

Hmmmm... good players who play together and talk on VOIP?

Some of these guys you are talking about have been dedicated planetside pilots for almost 10 years... like if you saw them outside of a Reaver or Mossie in PS1 it was because there was simply nothing left to shoot outside.

Well I only play a little on Connery but if it is the people i'm thinking of they really are just that good.

If I was the president of the world I would dictate a law that makes cheating/hacking in multilayer online games punchable by death.

Vote for me in the next election for world president.

lol. This almost warrants an ignore. But if I ignore you, I can't see hilarious butchering of english like this.

as for the OP: Fairly sure I know who you're talking about. There are some VS that are shady, yes. Mostly TR side on connery though.

Havnt noticed much hacking on Miller recently but i havnt played during prime. I have noticed GM's requesting hacker info tho which is all good.

Ive noticed alot of hacking on Woodman though. I mean constant head shots, from the same guy kinda gives it away. I mean I would like to know the proccess in which they determine whether someone is hacking or not. I mean I send up reports and a couple of days later I still see the same guys running around. Does any one know there process of determining if someone is hacking or not, besides just getting a report from another player. I mean whats steps do they take once they get the reports.

Well, if GM is online, I guess he just jumps to the player that is reported to see how he plays. If not, I've heard they look at stats and determine that way. And they do have some sort of anti-cheat system in place, if I have understood correctly.

But you can't really know what's going on, when you can't see how your killer plays. If they are underground, sure, that is easy to see and report, but if not, you just can't be sure unless they constantly hit from long range with full auto. For example, scout radar makes almost anyone seem like they are cheating.

For what it's worth, last night was particularly bad, and when I say that, I mean maybe 3 different people that I could notice doing blatant hacking such as clipping through the floor and repairing gens/killing people from beneath. Typically I don't feel nearly as many people are actually hacking as people think there are, but I did notice a few exploiters going around last night, when usually I may be suspicious of one person every week or two.
