some players increase their ping in purpose so they catch other players.

This often happen in HM mode, when I stay in cage, and some noobs increase their ping, so they catch me so easy.
Is this also happen to you guys? hope Z8 game do something about it, or else what is point to me buy assassin. why not i also increase my ping to catch them.

Sorry for being noob, but how is it possible to increase ping?? Isnt that something with the servers!?

That has been in the game for a while.
It's not allowed but they still do it, I found no way of proving it.. so don't even report it anymore.

(If you found a way to prove it, report it.)

I not to sure but.. (I believe its modem tapping or something close to that?)

their ping are normal around 100. however when they try to catch people in the cage their ping increase to 1000. and we can not shoot them, and next second they already in the cage.

Z8 game should monitor player's ping, when player's ping increase too much, the server should discount from the player automatedly.

i know one ways to increase your ping in few seconds, like you tap out CF and start download something. so your ping will increase.

It is called modem tapping
They disconnect, move behind you and connect again. If you are so interested to know exactly how send me a PM.
Z8 can't patrol every room, the only solution would be ping limits. When some exceeds the limit he gets disconnected. Suggested many times before, but still nothing.

so maybe I should just stop buy assassin mutation character, I should just use some way get mutate everyone, since Z8 game did nothing, we should not spend any money on it.

The only thing you need is a barrett VIP and a good spot to snipe... Mutants side isn't worth it.

agod123

what happen if you turn to mutation? and not use modem tapping, how you get players stay in cage. you do not have to buy assassin to use boom. you just use modem tapping. save your money.

that's why I avoid camp in cage or tunnel, cuz modem tapping is only useful when targets are not moving. And they can't disconnect for too long.

This problem has been around for a while now...
For me, it has seriously taken away the joy of playing HM and related modes. Whenever you get yourself and your buddies set up nicely in a safe spot and defend yourselves successfully, some modem tapper ruins your run by basically teleporting right behind you with that trick.

I actually am strongly in favor of measures that disconnect players with very sudden ping increases (unlike ping increases induced by someone streaming or downloading while you play, modem tapping causes high ping spikes almost instantly). I'm not really optimistic that this will ever be forwarded to SmileGate though as ever since I came back to this game a few months ago, I've seen forumers complain about Z8games not even listening to them, let alone forwarding ideas to their superiors. And by that I'm not referring to futile posts like "pls birng bak goldan M4 for coupons 100 plez", but serious suggestions....

I'd really like to hear the stance of a GM on this problem, however...

best regards,
Urkel

Just place a bleedin ping limit on uk servers to say "80" any more they cant connect in the 1st place end of story. Especially the EGY/TR they seem to get away with most thing's here.

the company only care how much money they make, do not really care player's suggestion.

There's a kind off ping limit, but I don't know how much. Well, basically it happends really rare, but it has happend to me. Usually when my family is using internet, on apple products etc, my ping is spiking as hell. And then sometime I get a client error, and get kicked out of the room.

I didn't even know this was a thing for Crossfire...
I mean, It's was something that I heard of people doing in CoD4 ages ago; but back then we called it a "lag switch".
Does it even work - I mean you;d have to re-send packets at precisely the right time (on the verge of cheating in the game code anyway) in order for the hits to register properly.

Either way it's a hugely temperamental technique, that can easily backfire and for what benefit - a couple of extra kills?
Probably not worth the effort to code a fix, unless it's competitive - but I've never heard of competitive MM!
