Hacking is getting out of hand

Current hacking situation is getting out of control. If we look closely, it all started from the ranked matches. You guys had plenty of time to update or fix anti hack software. The ranked matches were infested with hackers since season 1. People (including me) from time to time told that hackers were ruining the ranked matches. However, no one did nothing against it.

As a result of this, hackers are now joining the HM, MM, HMX, FFA, TD and even S&D rooms. Their numbers are growing drastically. Most of the old hacks are also back into action like Speed Hack, 1 hit Kill Hack, Speed Knife Hack, Long jump Hack etc.

I know i will get an infraction if i specify the hackers. I'm tired of getting infractions. I'm tired of getting instantly killed by random idiots with their speed hacks. I'm tired of seeing hackers and their friends provoking me. Today, there was a guy who was laughing at me in his own language because the hacker in his team was killing me. Before that hacker joined the room, i was whooping that noob's ass around again n again. He was very happy to see me getting killed by the hacker.

It's really frustrating to see these hacks back because this is what made most of the NA players to leave this game last time. Kindly update or replace current anti hacking software ASAP otherwise this game would be in serious trouble.

    I think that we need thousands of threads about this until they make something to stop the haking situation.

    Com'on dude. Reporting corporals, sergeants, staff sergeants and SFCs would solve absolutely nothing as the hackers will cheat with their other accounts. Its like getting stuck in an Infinite Loop. Only thing which can really stop them is to improve anti hacking software i.e. Xigncode3. Reporting would solve nothing. Why should i waste my time to report smiley or sergeant idiot?

    Finally, I don't usually have time to search around the forums to find the similar thread to say the same sh!t.

    EDIT: I read the [GM] Kanadian's reply and it was same "report hackers" thing. read my thread again and you will realize what i am trying to say.
  • People cheat on alts, takes while to get banned and if they do, they'll just go around and make another alt seconds later. And I think they should make harsh punishment for glitching, few days ago I ran into a vip kid in smt who was under the map sniping.. I don't even know if that's considered glitching since I thought you get damaged being under the map. I mean I get it may be hard but been months now of the same cheats, they're even on Youtube but according to them the anti gets updated frequently which is hard to believe. They say report but what is the point of reported a freshly out of the oven made alt going to do? Other than take long for it to get banned and if it does just open another alt... like cmon you can't tell me you haven't seen a cheater name with numbers after it, wouldn't be surprised if that indicated the number of alt he on.

    Anyways that must be one long tunnel considering how long it's been.

    Well we've said what we have to say now it's Z8 move it's either they listen and do something or they do nothing. Making more threads ain't going to change anything at this point if they have already addressed their thoughts into one thread about this same issue.

    Well yeah they need to turn on the Anti-Cheat but the amount of people who have made a thread about that ( even including me ) must of made a clear light to Z8 that their Anti-Cheat machine is broke.

    and it's on Page 1 so you don't really need to look that far tbh...

    I forgot who made it, but I think it was olphers several months back about hacking, it got like over 40+ pages but they still haven't changed even though they said it will. Probably that's why people (including me) have a hard time actually taking what they say seriously. When that thread was made there wasn't as many but now due to lack of care it has come to what we see now, if they actually only done something then maybe it wouldn't have gotten this bad.

    Well i'm going to let the GM's off for a bit just this once since CFCL is going on and things are going super perfect down there but even before that started yes things should of been fixed up.

    but once again we as the community has said what we have to say and reported with many proof that things are not going well due to all these hackers so now it's Z8 move cause we can keep saying the same over and over again but we are only wasting our own time saying the same thing over and over again if Z8 don't want to do anything about it.

    once CFCL is 100% over ( meaning scores are done and they don't even need to look back onto it cause its finished ) I expect hard work on the hacking problem like I want to see weekly updates on what's going on and them either going to a new Anti-Cheat or getting this one working.
  • Since my last thread the GMs acknowledge the cheating trend and the fact that they create new accounts when they get banned.
    I conclude the GMs are keeping the community in the dark, because they believe revealing the plan can backfire and can be engineered around.
    Kanadian told us that they're working on a solution, but they don't want to reveal it, however they want us to continue trusting them that there is a solution at the end.


    We don't need thousands of threads asking for GMs to give us any hint as to whether or not they're developing any anti-cheat system. They're rather adamant on not revealing anything about the cheating situation. So it's kinda pointless to ask them for any updates regarding the cheating situation.

    I think i didnt saw any reply and dont know about they having a plan that dont want to be revealed.

    It was a deduction from my last thread.

    1. "I can't be specific, or force you guys to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but hopefully we will be able to show you all moving forward that we have heard you, we do understand your frustration, and we are taking steps in the right direction."
    Kanadian says he can't say anything about the cheating situation, but he wants us to know that they "are taking steps in the right direction".

    2. "Do you guys have a plan besides the reporting/sending replays/going undercover to handle cheaters? Now if I told you that, it wouldn't be a very good plan, would it?"
    Kanadian dodges my question, by choosing not to reveal anything about their plan to stop cheaters.

    Of course this is just my personal interpretation of Kanadian's words. It's not what he wrote personally.

    I think it has to do with the game. If they reveal it then it will result into more hackers.

    A plan that focuses on not being known by the public in general, is not a very safe plan.

    They should have a plan that should slow down/stop cheaters independent from being publicly revealed or hidden.
    So even if the cheaters find out about the plan, it would be impossible for them to bypass.

    Like the idea of encryption.
    If I have encrypted data, a malicious hacker can see it, but they can't understand it or do anything with it, because it's encrypted.
  • Yes thats really sad. I had a same Siuation today, was in HMX game and someone with speed hak destroyed the Game as always :(
    Told him to stop it and said i will report it he just laughed, because he was low rank ( i think he created the account for it).

    I just hope it will be better, keep reporting guys.
  • Havn't noticed that much hacking. Only ones I have seen recently are speed walking hacks, and it's only been in 1 out of 20 rooms on average.

    I dont know about other modes but i saw in ghost mode , sometimes even more than one haker in room.
  • Well Im finishing up the EP event today and I only have ghost mode left, so we'll see if I get lucky or not

    Well you should try HM or HMX or FFA. Your calculations will be changed dramatically.

    Thats an understatement. Yesterday I played a total of 7 games. Out of which 6 games I played had multiple hackers. Mod jessy was a witness.
  • If the devs aren't willing to implement a better anti-cheat, then they should at least consider creating e-mail verification for new accounts.

    Like, you can't play until you've activated the account via email. Plenty of games do this. While its true that those hackers could just make the email accounts and activate it there, I think that's better than just letting people use an email and playing the game immediately.

    That's how it actually should be. But im sure this will not change anything.

    That wouldn't change anything maybe discourage them, but be aware they are using premium hacks. I'm pretty sure they would not care spending 5 minutes verrifying an email.

    By premium, do you mean paid cheats?
  • I'm pretty sure they would not care spending 5 minutes verrifying an email.

    That may be true, but like I said, its better than the crap that we have now, where you can make an account and play immediately.
  • Not only the low ranks below the 2nd Lieutenant are hacking, Now nearly everyone is using either aimbots or wallhacks and the irony is that they even start to insult you if you point out that they're haackers and needs to be kicked.

    Even VIPs are using aimbots and you don't know who to report due to their massive numbers.....

    But anyways when's the next VIP?

    Yea I'm going to quit playing for a few days, maybe until next patch because I come online to relieve stress not build more.
  • Besides some mods like ranked matches,free for all, zm, there are people who actually support cheaters and glitchers and i think that's the reason why people after getting banned comes back because they're getting "encouraged".

    When it comes to a vote kicking and that's what it surprise me, level of the players doesn't matter even higher level actually allow because cheater/glitcher is on his team and wants to get the win they do not try to kick them.

    Also another thing there are actually people who falsely report cheaters(when they are not cheating) and that might be the reason why it takes time to make them ban.
  • guys, I've wasted my time reporting around 30 accounts OBVIOUS hackers and my pleas have not been heard, GM's please check my reports (6 pages)
  • My opinion ban that obscured region already from making new accounts daily. RE INVITE EU players, this game wasn't intended for EGY so why are they flying speeding around maps for a good month now , with all the hack reports they receive daily obviously support is dead as a door nail.
    I think it;s hide time for the Game Master's to take drastic action here. We all know players will leave in 1000's if this continues in the very near future.
    most of my ig friends are already playing less day by day because of this hack fest BS
