FranGT 20 Posted October 29 (edited) My post exposing a cheater with clear evidence got deleted in like 2 minutes, nice job LO protecting cheaters. The evidence was 2 videos: The first one from the cheater YT channel, where he rage cheats on the video and then shows the scoreboard at the end of the match, censoring his nickname. The second video is from a different YT channel that played the same match and shows the same exact scoreboard at the end, but uncensored. Crystal clear evidence that LO doesn't want you to see, no wonder this game is infested with cheaters. EDIT: Actually I'm going to post screenshots of the scoreboards I'm talking about, but censoring all nicknames and not mentioning video links so LO staff cannot cry about "name shaming": From the cheater's video: https://imgur.com/a/tD5LhSA From the other video (legit APB content creator that makes montages and funny moments compilations): https://imgur.com/a/2LbNnLm Edited October 29 by FranGT 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProJH 27 Posted October 29 LO removed anti-cheat and unbanned every account. They love cheaters and love to troll apb community. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjarrrr 261 Posted October 29 probably "no name and shame" but ye LO supports cheaters, way too soft and matt thinking that all the unbanned EAC/BE players wont cheat and risk their account getting banned because of the new contacts was just laughably naiviety, they really are out of touch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MACKxBOLAN 435 Posted October 29 Ya the game is geared for high performance players by way of mm, lack of segregation. Then the anti cheat false ban Hog Wash story Matt told. Now if he had been honest and said we have a low pop so were gonna let some of the banned back in. We'd be unhappy but he'd be honest. So now it doesn't matter if you prove them a hacker or report em ect. They just gonna let em back in. Then when they come back in, they terrorize everyone they think is a snitch, or not a hacker. So reporting or coming here to 'Tell on them' is an unviable weapon against them. So yes, the no name shaming policy and You did not follow the right channels to do this. You are suppose to send your video to support. The forum and it's gm's are not able to help you or the situation. Only the support staff can do this. Don't get me wrong, I hate hackers. We have known about the Ytube videos for a long time but if the staff use just those vids as evidence the accused player will say the vid was altered. Then getting back to the penalty if they are banned, they will just get let back in. The Way to get the hacker is to take what he wants. Most want gold and a high k/d and lots of em like to chat bash. So you mess with them by not engaging in chat or listening to it. You be the mediocre player on their team when they demand all gold hi scoring as tm's and opp. That is basically the object of the game now, to irritate hackers. You already know that any mission will be mostly hax, so you're gonna lose. But You don't play to win or lose, you play when bored with other games simply to find deviates and irritate them. Until then the only thing I would recommend doing is writing your congressman to work for new laws governing games and aimbots as a Fraud offense. Cuz we are not getting any help from LO 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will leave the cheaters alone so they can keep cheating and killing the game. My apologies. 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously they are not going to admit it but LO wants the cheaters to stay in. Looks like they are great customers and purchase lots of G1C with all their cheating accounts, all of them unbanned now so they have a second chance... to spend more money. Because of that and the very low playerbase this game already has, it would be a financially stupid decision by LO to ban the cheaters. Just like the old GamersFirst, MoneyFirst. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your best options is the following: 1: File a /report <insert Player Name> 2: If you see a active speed hacker please contact not only do Step: 1 Please contact a in-game GM we are on the Official Little Orbit Discord. 3: Help us by not name and shaming folks since while we not only have to deal with you it takes our time away from important matters such as the speed hacker you are reporting. 4: is important to Step: 3 since name and shaming only gives attention to the cheaters and take it from me as not only a GM but a veteran player I know cheaters crave attention they live for it so stop giving it to them report in silence and don't give them the satisfaction. (AKA) Don't feed the Trolls. 5: See Step: 3 and Step:4 if you do the opposite you take a chance of getting yourself actioned along side the very cheater you are complaining about. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, it took a while for an actual GM to respond this post. I'm not gonna waste my time reporting knowing that the average support ticket takes MONTHS to be solved, just for the cheater to dump his banned account and keep going with one of his many alts. I have the best option to solve this massive cheating issue and it only takes 1 step: Step 1: Use an anticheat that works. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koenyboy500 38 Posted November 12 Where does one find this Discord server? So just to clarify, when I find an (obvious) cheater, I would need to Use /report. Seek contact in the Discord server. Ask if someone wants to spectate district around "mission objective location" most likely. Continue playing the game. ( I am not really one for complaining. I've got a strong back) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All these years hearing about discord, it's so primitive. I don't think this is where the GM's hang out. The only thing i would worry about with posting on discord is, that the hacker or his associates may see that post and warn the hacker to leave district or hide. I'm not running down there for every suspected aim cheat. Only if I see that speed hacker. Hackers seem to think that's it is Cool or OK to do this sort of thing. As if they are only victimizing L.O. When they are robbing the average player of gaming fun. In the case of a speed hacker, he not only robs the legit player, but he add's grief and suspicion to the other hackers. Causes more distrust of the Sard-ac. You see He is bad news for us all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got to be honest and blunt here. You say LO and the GMs dont like them yet the actions of LO and the GMS are the exact opposite. GMs in game troll around and chat it up if they show up. Cheaters are the majority of the playerbase and LO doesnt add more anti cheat. Ever since punkbuster was removed theres only 1 anti cheat and it hasnt worked no matter the anti cheat software used. LO doesnt bother to actively monitor districts or add more anti cheat so there client side and server side. Cheaters stream their cheats on twitch openly and LO does nothing and in game reporting does nothing as its nothing more then a placebo. LO and GM actions show that there is a tolerance for cheaters and or that LO and GMs dont care that they cheat. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We record evicence and make reports. GM's are not technically supposed to chase cheaters since we have a anti-cheat and C.S. who handles this issue. We do record and report what we see on our own but in the end C.S. and Sard will handle the cheating issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victoria97 17 Posted November 13 there are confirmed rumors that old veteran cheaters infiltrated lil orbit in a forms of spcts and gms and with that they got unfair influence when some old closets are banned and then suddenly they get unbanned. With that said its irrelevant at this point to expect any function from offline sard when posts are being ignored by gms and staff with literal youtube channels which show in detail not full 10 hours after sard was released how they bypassed sard...identical thing was for battle eye, identical thing was for easy anticheat and that goes to ffbans era as well. Not to mention your unban wave which not only destroyed population yet again, but it also brought back all the old famous hacker and cheater player names which are now storming FC and mission districts again by hitting 10/10 shots and being gods...as they used to be...which just shows they blatantly continued to use their hacking programs because they even care less for ban now, than they used in apb prime time before. i dont understand why staff cant join in silently at least one FC at least one day at random day...and just observe what we have to deal with daily. People really dont hide, they go scores 40+ with 2 deaths...with 10 day oca 0 slots. There are several lowrank names which are doing it on cop side and then they go to crime side and nobody cares. so to conclude...with knowledge that it doesnt matter which anti cheat u install ...its bypassed under 24hrs... even if it worked..you will just unban wave them all eventually..and spit in faces of us legits players who always obeyed the rules and followed the rules, and u will reward the caught hackers and cheaters by letting them save their ingame items and unbanning their mains so they can continue to harass community further. Reports are futile because nobody ever reads them, you got 5 employees and entire community knows it...i bet you didnt read neither 10 reports in this entire year hence nobody even bother using it. Your sard anti cheat is offline, it "collects" data...for what? already several months with 0 bans...0 reactions...0 deeds...and not only we legits know it, but also hackers know it...hence why they are literally raping the game and take it out on entire playerbase. your game will die not cuz of lacking the new content at this moment but because it literally became a game for hacker fest and testing out hacker programs. Before it was, dont hackusate because you reall need to get good...now its doesnt matter how good you are if you dont ve at least macro...you stand no chance. So cheating and hacking heaven. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
