The H.A.C.K.E.R status?
So, as always with the lack of info from z8games for their customers, yes I said it "customer" because I PAY for this game.
What are you doing? What is the status? Is a new patch coming up? Will we see more gm's online kicking hackers? Everyone knows its the only long term solution, more gm.
If this game was a happy meal and z8games was McDonalds, I would claim my money back and demand a new happy meal, beaus this one is rotten, and they are not telling s...t to their customers about what they are doing about it.....

Only long term solution is to hire more people and lose more money to patrol 12 servers, 10 channels in each and about 30-40 rooms in each?
You sure?
When there is information, you will be told. XTrap is working on patching hacks. From what Ive seen lately, there havent been very many hackers. -

Status? Much fewer than there were in October when I joined, and the outbreak during the end of December was squashed at the beginning of January. And there are people here who can think of December as a light month for cheats compared to when they started.

Not all headshots across the map are hacks, if you spray common camping spots you can get a few lucky headshotsi saw some noobs hacking on gm but usually they are easy kill(just rush on them).

Heh, today I found out that ZP weapon rushing works against camping shotgun noobs too. xD
DISCLAIMER: I never do good in GM. But these guys were nubnubs. -
LOL or they are thieving you or you are an extreme idiot xd. I don`t understand how is it that they make you pay for the game , but I play CF without paying any cent.:DSo, as always with the lack of info from z8games for their customers, yes I said it "customer" because I PAY for this game.

Oh Wait... are you talking about ZP?
Then you are not paying to play but you are buying extra skill ." you know those kind of stuffs like spops and shovel and bla bla bla that give you advantages on those who don`t pay to play ".:p -

LOL stupid idiot, not my fault you don't have any money, so don't insult, go ask your mom for some money or sell your a-- to someone. But don't insult people because they pay for a game, so you no money idiot can play for free. Do you think the servers pay themselves? -

You know everyone knows you don't need to hire, you can get like 100 standing in line serious volunteers that would do this for free to get the f--- hackers out. That is how this forum works and other thing work, you have dedicated people helping out. So don't give me that blablabla about money, you know damn well you can do this without so much money. The problem is something else, because there is always a solution, but in this case, it looks they don't want to solve it, else it would be solved already. -

hey i can be trusted too.... at least ingame, i could learn a little more about forums...
EDIT: wait i just realized... the purpose of the MOD is a volunteer to help out on the forums and ingame...
man im soooo tired -
Not buying skills does not mean lack of money to buy them.LOL stupid idiot, not my fault you don't have any money, so don't insult, go ask your mom for some money or sell your a-- to someone. But don't insult people because they pay for a game, so you no money idiot can play for free. Do you think the servers pay themselves?
I don`t know how you get the idea of selling a.... to get money , oh wait ..... may be you have the habit to do it . OMG now I understand the pain you have at this spot of your body,saying that you pay for the game from all those selling a... pain and you can`t get satisfaction . POOOOOR you:(. -
While we appreciate the input and feedback from our "customers" we would like to think of you guys more as fans and gamers. Especially since its not required to buy/pay anything to play our game.
Having said that, we have never needed or have been required to issue some sort of daily status report on what we're doing against hacking.
It's inevitable that people get impatient because they see a hack in the game and think oh no, here we go again. When the reality isn't actually that grim. As with most phases of the game it comes and goes, hacking will exist and we will continually fight it. Sometimes it will flare up as was the case over the holidays. Sometimes it will be in a lull like right now. Sometimes the work we do take immediate effect, sometimes it takes a little bit of time. There will always be a back and forth with this.
Currently most of the major previous public hacks have been patched. Major vip hack sites have had to update their vips constantly over the last month (as expected) to keep up with our patching. As for any particular game patch or update. We have no announcements on them at this time. When we do, we always make sure you guys get little hints and previews to when something is coming. -

Thank you, finally and answer. Still you should have more trusted GM's online banning people that is only long term solution, you cant win over hacks with patches. Only instant ip bans will work up to 80%, now it is feel free to hack procent. -

FYI stopping hacks will always be more efficient than banning accounts. It's a numbers thing. Yes, banning people who use VIPs is a priority and banning accounts that have been investigated for hacking will always result in a permanent removal of that person. But finding ways to slow down the hacks or stop public hacks etc will always be more efficient.
And to your comment about "finally an answer". I'll take a stab in the dark to say that I personally have issued somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20-30 posts on this subject in the last 2-3 weeks. So please try to use the search button because statements like these really never change because the situation is always being worked on. -
I can make up random statistics too! Along with 48.2e% of the community!Thank you, finally and answer.

IP Bans don't prevent that much. It's not hard to change one's IP. If that person is using a dynamic IP, just have to restart their router and boom, they're around the ban and some random who has the same ISP will end up with that IP and a seemingly random ban. -
Just a suggestion
This is related to Mainly mutation mode.
Would it not be possible to have entrusted people.Either Mods or Respected forumers to simply visit these levels randomly and simply take screenshots showing blatant hacks.I feel if Z8 entrusted people to this task maybe it would make the tediously reviewing of replays of mutation unnecessary because of these ,6,7 multi kill screenshots using a m16 could be turned into very fast bans.
Why is it for example that screenshots taken from mods or other trusted sources in game can't be used as reliable proof of hacking.If you have numerous multikill screenshots taken in MM,surely through quickly looking through these photos and after discerning 100% guilty very fast bans could issued.Without the Gm's having to view all the tedious replays.Mutation Mode especially would quickly become a no go area for hackers and my guess is it could also be implemented in other levels too.Although it has got better recently i have to admit.But they are still out there.
If there were just a handful of entrusted people looking and taking screenshots for couple hours a day there would be many bans.As an extra precaution i guess the replay could be supplied and looked at in cases of people protesting their innocence.But i am not sure such a mass banning clampdown would be popular with z8 games with loss of revenue.I would guess that using this faster banning method would gain some more trust leading to more people purchasing zp items.
Because there is nothing more frustrating buying for example reduce stun or 50% EXP etc. When you get some idiot coming along and shooting you dead in one shot.
