I don't like Twitch's video quality.

Care to explain that a bit better?
You mean:

1. Those that have low settings and it's like streaming Minecraft: Reloaded?
2. Those that broadcast in low bitrate and forced to stay at 720p?
3. Something else?

Oof, time for the "I was banned and I wasnt cheating" threads..

 

Jokes aside, this is great news.

Hello, I was banned for my first account it's only because it was 2-3 years ago. So I tried to contact the support but no response.

Read Tracking Customer Support topic created by Matt Scott.

I understand that /report still flags people ? or there is new way of "reporting" cheats/hacks ?

I hope this is a joke.
So bronze kids with no skill and gamesense (who hackusated everyone in the past) will be able to get me false banned? srsly?

 

This is worse than Tiggs banning some randoms for fun ...

Matt said that the idea is that when the "bronze kid with no skill" reports you, you get flagged, then a GM inspect your actions without your knowledge and if you are guilty of a bannable offense, then you get banned. But probably because you don't read everything that is been said here, the following should be enough:

 

 

tl;dr: No, there is no such thing as false ban anymore.

Hi everyone,

 

I've seen this topic floating around the forums, and it's time to set the record straight.
We are banning for hacking and cheating.

 

 

Thank You very much for the update. I was under the impression that it would be a month or so till BE would start banning, as it would need to collect algorithm on players habits/abilities. I may be wrong but I figured if the data collected is seen as a norm while hacking takes place, then when its turned on it would not detect the better performance of the hacker because he was hacking during the data collection period. That was my assumption.  In addition I have been getting kicked or dropped while loading a district. (client not responding)  and that sorta triggered me.   I'm getting to really hate computers, Ill ask my kid about these hotkey things. i bet its that steam crap he has on here

The days of naming and shaming are over folks, get used to it.

Seems like you didnt understand me.

The GM is the "bronze kid with no skill". (But the player who reported me too)

As has been said many many times already, GMs will not have the power to ban players

I think /report should alert TGMs they could go invisible and check / spectate the flagged player, if they feel the player is cheating, they could escalate it to actual GMs who could spectate the player and do what's necessary...

Yes, they dont ban, but seems like they will tell Lixil or whoever to ban the player after spectating = same result.

No.

 

While they will have a more direct line to LO staff, all reports will still be evaluated by said staff members before a ban is issued. 

 

This has been explained several times now.

Just last night I had two blatant cheaters on my team. They didn't hesitate to admit it when I asked them. They're definitely still around. BattlEye was only in Observation Mode regardless.
