So I should be banned? Prevented from playing CF?

Because some Brazilian children using hacker?

I personally have no problem with having BRs or any other nationality wanting to play.
I'll find it silly that they want to play a game that they would have such a massive disadvantage in but thats their choice. (if I lag bad in a MMO I quit the MMO)
I only have problems with players that refuse to follow the rules.

So it's come to my attention that sending in replays is next to pointless because the hackers will just make new accounts when they're banned on their old ones.

That being said, if us as players want to have a nearly hack-free game, we need to help z8games figure out a way to get rid of the hackers, but not necessarily banning them. Z8Games staff spend hundreds of hours watching replays since they have no fast forward or rewind buttons either, so watching every replay is just... very boring and not proactive, really.



Don't suggest IP bans, they are already given and do not work because IPs change very often.



An idea I have that won't work:

CD-Keys: Buy a CD-Key for $1 and the amount of hackers will reduce to virtually non-existant, nobody wants to take the time or effort of spending even a dollar on a game just to hack it and possibly get banned. Plus lots of the little kids that hack can't pay over the internet (on the other hand kids could ask their parents to just pay a dollar, it's unlikely they'll do that if they're going to hack that may reduce the amount of players a little bit but they're not supposed to be playing if they're not 13 anyways).

This won't work because having to buy a CD-Key would mean the game is not F2P anymore, and that's what attracts almost everyone to it.



Another idea I have that may work:

Well it's not really my idea, but we should do what korea crossfire does (I'm pretty sure they do it, anyways), we should make it so that every crossfire account has to have a physical address they can determine with their Postal/Zip codes. I don't know how it works and I would think people could just give fake postal/zip codes, but z8games could so more more research and see how it works if that's actually how it works in the korean crossfire.



Don't post tl;dr, that's just spam and should be considered as such.


Please use constructive criticism for any ideas that people post, don't just say "that's a dumb idea", post WHY, and what could make it work, if anything.

I've heard the crossfire community sucks, but try to prove me wrong and don't troll :P

they dont need this game to be f2p to attract players.... i would make the CD-key be around 5-10$ and that would DRAMATICALLY decrease the amount of h.ackers and im saying 5-10$ per an account.... also the korea thing would be smart but these lazy fat asses wont bother to do that because as you see they dont read any of this **** you guys write... so my suggestion is you stop posting this although you have a pretty good iddea

Molys, just because the mods deleted your last thread, doesn't mean that you can go rage in another. And Z8 does listen to its community. Just not people like you.

And I support you in this. Always!

Whenever I encounter a hacker, I report. Especially if it is Brazilian. Do not admit it that someone from my country to do so. But as they do, I can only disrupt them.

xTrap detects mumble as a hack tool -.-

Again, update & monitor the anti-hack system. Do it 24-7-365!!

Each new account costs 2$.


Best solution.

ill say it again move the rez files server side so noone can alter them if they cant alter then they cant hack because rez files hold all the things like accuracy and such(if i understand correctly) this would also make patching easier because all they have to do after a patch is start game and the patch should have changed the rez files when they tweak the servers

DrkChrnic

If they hack or if they are abusing a glitch perm account ban and send few warning at there home and if they still wont listen then they pay must a fee of 1000 euro or dollars or above

Yes, the best thing is probably to charge a small fee for membership, the easiest and best solution, sure the game wouldn't be f2p, but what 12yo kid cant go to their mom and ask for like 2-5 measly dollars? VIP hackers who PAY FOR THEIR HACKS (the most insane degree of person, on the level of mental insanity) would still exist prolly, but they are like 5% of the hacking populous. + that if you charge for accs you could lower zp prices pl0x?

Z8 only has license to host crossfire as a F2P game, charging money for accounts breaks their contract and they lose the right to host crossfire. So their not going to do that.
