claude 223 Posted July 9, 2019 8 hours ago, Zian said: Have you seriously not been paying attention to the direction of where this game is going? Let alone the blatant cheaters that are running around the past week or so. Jericho is an unplayable mess right now, and all you can do is use the "git gud bro" argument. If they were trying to make this game better, then they need to try harder. That's why a call for a petition exists in the first place. I have been paying attention, I play the game quite often. Maybe it's because killing cheaters in APB is way easier than killing a cheater in a traditional shooter, or maybe I just don't see what you see. A petition wont do anything, how would a petition stating "try harder, LO" with a couple dozen signatures do anything more than legitimate criticism from the people signing the damn petition in the first place? 7 hours ago, Darkzero3802 said: Yea implementation of only one system will easily be bypassed by the hackers if it isnt frequently updated and doesnt have other anti hack programs with it. Theres normally several layers of protection going on that keep anti hack programs as peak performance. Each time the program is updated the hackers must update their hacks to bypass it again. If they cant keep up then the hack becomes useless. There are server side and client side anti hacks that are normally used together to make several barriers to detect and prevent outside programs. APB used to have 2 in fail fight and punk buster, both of which failed miserably due to numerous flaws and the lack of updates. Since then there has only been 1 and its been gotten around. LO changing battle eye to EAC and still doing the same exact thing they did with battle eye isnt going to change anything. This is applicable to every online multiplayer game protected by any AC, but you seem to be ignoring the fact that the people who're cheating are paying hundreds of dollars for private cheats, just to have them regularly updated and patched as often as they need to be... and most of these players are on Citadel, not Jericho, so I really don't see why Jericho players are complaining about "rampant hacking" when they aren't even exposed to cheaters all too often anyway.

Im not saying MattScott is completely without confidence. However look at CEO's from EA, Bioware or Bethesda in the last year or so. Based on what the things these CEO's have been saying the last year you would think these CEO's are the best and most caring in the world and leaders of the best and most caring game companies in the world, so why arent they? Evidence to the contrary. I think its pretty fair to not implicitly take a CEO's word as fact without a reasonable amount of evidence to back them up. Look at any of the current issues we have, Ddosing for example. New "Anti ddossing" measures go live and when a large amount of people still have a problem and the servers still go down, is it not fair to question the legitimacy of said new measures? Im sure everyone believes that something has changed, something has happened or improved, i do too but with ddosing we experience the problem first hand so when the intended solution doesnt go as expected we all go "wtf". Right? Thats what im doing here, except in this case we're yet to see what the problems were at first hand, which in my opinion is not a stretch to explain. Instead we are left without information to make our own informed decisions. "Fairfight not working correctly" Doesnt tell us anything, is it really a problem that couldnt be fixed? Why did it take another company to "figure" out so soon after acquiring the original company that the whole program was unsalvageable and needed to be replaced when it was marketed as the next best anti cheat at the time? For all we know it the problems could have been fixed with the updates, was it updated before it was scrapped? Public healthcare doesnt work in america. Heres a real life example of an issue that is constantly turned into an ambiguous problem when there are solutions, but the problems are never explored properly. Even if it wasnt given out at the time, which is a fair call to make if its still in use, why not explain it now? Im sure there are enough differences between EAC and FF that would make that kind of info irrelevant otherwise you'd just have people switching between anti cheats quicker than opening a .bat file. I think its pretty reasonable to have people outside as an objective opinion with the knowledge to back up said claims about the workings of an anti cheat or systems not currently being used as an explanation to why they were removed. Im pretty sure you've said it yourself, LO is a business and here to make money. Good will comes second.

Do you always produce such propaganda? Everyone can agree that blatant cheating is a problem. But it seems like there's a strong unified front towards cheaters being removed from this game. No one said "Punish good players" and to call a blatant cheater a "Just another good player" is an attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of people who are willing to call out the BS, or simply want to stand up to the fact that there is nothing being done.

I've criticised the way both LO and G1 handle cheaters several times. The difference is that I tried to put some effort into it. Not some "we the people demand" crap like this thread is. Apart from that, what you quoted was me making fun of the OP, not my actual opinion or anything meant to have substance in the first place. I haven't played a lot of EAC APB because I moved countries, but I could already tell from BE that it was significantly better for quite some time. I would assume EAC does similarly. Fact of the matter is that these type of demand threads rarely contain anything useful and are often made by players who barely manage to be average. Cry elitism all you want, but the opinions change throughout the skilltiers and you rarely see any top tier player say the game is "infested". Though, by the logic these people use, all the top tier players would be cheating and cover for their friends of course. As for actual blatant cheaters, I do agree that some sort of secondary mechanism to deal with the helicopters would be nice.

It's not a cry of elitism, when you display that you're an elitist by throwing shade at players who'd like to get better. The blatant cheaters in this game prevent that, and it's something that shouldn't have to be out right pointed out. Especially to a "Top Tier" player. The fact that even your efforts are ignored, should make you a little more aggravated. Or willing to provide constructive feedback, without the sarcasm belittling the OP with misinformation peppered through your post. The fact that you haven't played a lot, means that you're missing out on the overall current status of how things have been within the game. Your feedback is essentially just from the forums point of view only. 46 minutes ago, Fortune Runner said: If you even seen one person suspicious you'd claim its an epidemic so you aren't too reliable. impossible to stop 100% since no anti cheat can catch 100% False, if I saw one I wouldn't be bothered.
