Hacking Statement

MrCorrect

In regards to the last thread I made: [http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?329285-A-Sincere-Message-of-Concern-from-a-Dedicated-Player], a lot of people seemed to think that I was a really racist, unreasonable person. I apologize, I do admit I was being a tad bit racist, however, that still does not change my view. While I know that the majority of the game's base are Egyptian players, it still doesn't change the fact that they have to most hackers, not all of them are, but a lot of them are. Other races hack too, I get it, and I despise those people as well, but the majority of the population are Egyptians so there are a lot more hackers from that area, I hope you see my point. In my previous thread, I've listed some suggestions that could be really useful is Z8 implements them. Over all, I'm not trying to be racist. At the end of the day, I'm still playing the game, and so are the other players, but the hacking has really started to become a major problem now. For example today, I was in a knifing match and a hacker was using speed knife and speed walk. I'm not going to say of which race that they came from but it's pretty obvious by now. I'm not saying my racism is acceptable, it isn't and I agree, however hacking is also not acceptable. I just want this problem to be solved as soon as possible so I can actually enjoy the game again. Thanks again for your time, this was some closure to the last post.

Are you sure they aren't just pro players? Don't remember seeing a hacker in the past 2-3 years tbh mate.

Bro I'm sure, I have so many replays of them. Either you just don't play much or you're not playing the right matches, but they're definitely there. I wouldn't just make this up for fun.

@PizzaFrozen I can assure you that you will see hackers if you go to ranked, FFA, HMX or knife only games

I read your thread and unfortunately I agree with you (not 100% but I do agree that egy players have ruined the game). Not all of them but since we lost NA/EU players the game has been going downhill. he community itself is childish and most of the new generation of players you can see they are just kids in their 12-15 years old. These kids think its cool to hack on a online game and that they won't get banned because unfortunately its the truth. They don't have to fear the bans like us (the European players have to because we can't create new accounts) If anything they can just create multi-accs and just rank up and do the same thing again while ruining the gameplay for legit players.

For me Ranked was the only thing keeping me hyped for the game but after witnessing what a sh*tfest that was, with reports being opened for 2-3 MONTHS i lost all hope. Checking the top players with platinium ranks, players who can barely aim or know how the game function and that outside ranked matches have negative KDs all of a sudden doing KDS of 3.0 or 4.0 is beyond me and super unfair. There is no justice so you either suck it up or give up playing and go play a better online FPS. To top it off we can't accuse or expose any hacker because we are breaking the rules (gtfo with that bs). People who hack should be exposed and shamed not protected.

Keep in mind that this game will never change as long as they keep making money and not investing in decent servers/anti cheat. They never fail in updating ZP content because thats what works for them. The servers were almost dead for the last 8-10 months and all they would say to players was "we are working on it" goes to show how much they care about their playerbase and their community.

Oh well end of rant.

It's sad that's this statement is slightly true. Even when I came back I could easily see that the community has gotten a bit younger by the way they act and play.

I always like to remember that things are alot more worse at a point and we all need to agree that even with there still being hackers today there were many more years ago making the game really unplayable. I don't think Z8 are going to not improve the Anti-Cheat seeing that they have many times before but games are going to have hackers such as one of the biggest shooters out there CSGO which by far is going through an even worse hacking situation which not even the skins are keeping the game alive anymore. If this game was truely at it's worse than I couldn't see so many people investing their money into the game knowing that it's unplayable it just wouldn't make sense unless you just have so many money on hand that you couldn't care less where it went but even with that there's other things you could buy rather than buying ZP. At some point we are going to see improvements like we usual do by either improving the Anti-Cheat or finding new methods to lower the hacking rate.

The Servers are a bit meh at times and it's quite annoying seeing the UK servers going down out of random only for them go back in a few seconds, it just shows that the servers are not stable enough to be played on if it's going off and on out of the blue. I don't even recall the servers being as bad years ago but then again the UK servers were in a different location so it could have something to do with that but I can't be so sure on it. If they want to push the competitive side of the game they need to make sure the servers are stable so they don't just randomly off mid matches it's not very friendly. Again though I could see that being on their list of things to improve cause there is a huge player base being affected by it and if people can't even play on the servers provided then why would they even stay playing the game in the future.

Reports need to be looked at quicker cause seriously I have never EVER had any reports dealt with from 2014 to 2017. Sure I haven't reported many people but the fact that none of them have gotten banned just makes me feel like reporting isn't even worth doing and that shouldn't be what anyone should feel cause at point the cheaters are winning. Knowing that the GM's do so much within the game itself it would just be better if a different section of Z8 could handle the reports and only those leaving others working on the game and updates and others souly just watching reports on the days they work and hopefully that would just speed up the process getting more reports looked at more often and getting more people banned which truely needs to happen.



But yeah I can't see all these issues being blanked by Z8 it just wouldn't make sense to avoid what needs to be done to keep the players happy which are the same people who are buying ZP. Happy players = More ZP buyers.


Edit: And just when I went back into the CF Cilent I was discounted from the UK4 Server and I don't think I was the only one since the amount of people on the Server decreased by a ton... Great timing lol.

I wonder what they are doing in other version is that worse and how can they deal with hacking situation there ?
btw I hate your mind and the way you think of

I only wish this were true, it isn't even close to being as bad as it was many years ago, but they are still rather common, I see them every few games and I don't even play knife only matches.
By your reasoning, there are no hackers at all in CF, and that's naive.

The blame lies solely with Z8.
They could have taken the money they collect from people, who actually support the game by spending their hard earned money, and invested it in anti cheat systems that actually work and are regularly updated.

I agree with your post that you've linked. But not 100%. Because there are things that aren't even allowed to do. First of all IP bans. It's illegial to do IP bans in the USA. I know there are other games companys that are in the USA too. But they're doing the IP bans too. I don't know how they get it away with it since they're kinda famous on the gaming world. Taking suggestion in tickets. I think this shouldn't be happening, since this is a game that a lot of players are playing. They will get this gameplay too. So they should actually see the suggestions to discus with the community. More mods, ofc I wish they do that. But they have to trust him/her. I know a lot of community servers in other games, where the admins abused their powers. I also don't like if they add the MOD tag ingame. Before a hacker joins a game and see a player with the Mod Tag. They won't use their hacks, so they don't get instead banned when they get catched by the mod. I also understand that people call you a ''racist'' Since you're kinda targeting the egypt players in the games. ''Ban ALL egypts ips''. There are nice egyptians in this game. I bet every clan has like 3-4 egypts that are very nice in this game.

Glad to see you've come to terms with that. Please keep reporting, and we will keep banning. Ty!
