lol, there IS a real conversation to be had here, and there are those having it. and then there is you.
oh. if he’s one of those idiots, yeah i won’t say much more. once a cheater, almost always a cheater in my eyes, unless there’s a very real evidence against the allegations against him.
there is no evidence against a fairfight/pb ban record.
Think about it… They can be guaranteed high sales from their “sale” buy banning cheaters just before the sale. It makes it easy for those that are banned to buy the game and start over. It is a win-win for EA and cheaters. EA bans hackers AND gets more money from the sale that they were already going to have. Then, the cheaters get to jump back in for a really low price.
It proves (or at least demonstrates) that there is a functional anti-cheat and the game publisher will ban those caught using hacks, surely that is better for the morale of legit players than radio silence from the publisher. Who knows, it might even discourage some of the vermin from using hacks in the game, at least it’s worth a shot. Awhile back some DICE dev said they were trying to get the FF ban scroll working again, apparently like so many other things whoever used to know how to make it work isn’t with the company any more. If EA found this something worth doing in the past then why not try it again? I’d like to see them follow PUBG’s lead and send ban confirmation messages to players reporting cheaters too, let us know we aren’t wasting out time reporting hack users.
Of course all this would requite EA to care, and I honestly don’t think they do as the PC platform just doesn’t matter to them much anymore. Meanwhile PUBG is played largely on PC and has sold over fifty million copies and who knows how many millions in skins–but PUBG Corp. isn’t a long-time industry leaders like EA so what do they know?
Based on what I read in this thread, and certainly based on the number of return-posters in here, I would say he’s not wrong to suggest so.
A lot of you guys absolutely are.
‘subtle hacks’ 9 of 10 is not a hacker for instance. lod bias was addressed fairly fast enough. ‘esp’ cheats, i am also sorry to say, too many people clearly have stats that reflect the reality that they have a LOT more things to learn or figure out in terms of improving their awareness in this game. STOPchris was accusing me in some Dom Server for that, because I’d heard step in to an obvious corner about 10-15 seconds before I ran to him, instead of immediately after he made any noise.
Rage hackers are definitely a thing. Once in a while I run into a hacker using aim-bot though just not that often, but also very much a thing. As for anything else… I more often than not see just good or experienced players getting accused out the wazoo.
It’s not imagination, I would rather say it’s stuff you guys really ought to look into more carefully.
Spend some time reading up ban decisions BF4DB or something for instance, both the ones that get banned or get cleared.
No, but I did run into one less than a week ago that was using a damage modifier, since I get on other players’ tails with all 8 guns and overheat most of the time before shooting them down (and that’s with at least 95% accuracy). This guy would get on my tail and with a quick burst, over 40% of my armor would be gone, whereas when his teammate did the same, it would be minor scratches. The guy with the damage mod had the name of a beloved cartoon dog in his name.
Again this has been said a million times. The big majority of cheat-reports is hackusations. Therefore it does matter, because it makes the whole process of capturing cheaters a lot more complicated and time-consuming than without all these hackusations.
A big part of the hackusations happens because the game has so many issues and because a lot of players don’t understand the mechanics/shortcomings of internet-based multiplayer-games. This of course falls back on Dice themselves.
And another thing, I play Apex (much more than BFV now), and that game has more blatant cheating than BFV. Easy anticheat is not better than BFV’s anticheat in that regard.
my 2 sentence post got binned.. but the short of it is that anti-cheat is automated and nobody looks at reports.. therefore, hackusations do not matter.
So is EA going to do ANYTHING about the cheating? How about adding the vote ban? If EA won’t do anything about it, at least let the players in a game decide. Been playing BF since its inception with bf1942. At this point in time cheating should not be as easy as it seems to be. EA is failing big time. It also seems like they don’t care at all.
They are automated because it’s tedious and boring, therefore not a process that humans are very good at.
The biggest factor is probably the number of hackusations. If you get 1% cheaters based on reports, then the cost of having a lot of people going through them, is just too high (and there will be too many errors anyway).
In theory an algorithm is much more effecient and easier to control, but it’s probably very complicated to do in real life. If they start banning a lot of non-cheating players, they will get even more problems than they have now (could even give them legal problems as well).
It’s automated because if one stands out, or gets alot of reports, it’s probably worth investigating. At least to see what kind of cheat he was using.
In any case, hackusations do not, and never will, matter. Cheaters getting caught is what matters. A sign of anti cheat software working.
It’s the same as driving a car, there will always be people ignoring the speedlimit. We that do obey the limit, know those people will eventually be caught and pay a heavy fine.
Maybe not today, but eventually they will. Same is with this cheating business. We as people that obey the rules, should be backed by an ac team that will get them, eventually.
Will that prevent cheating? Nope, neither will a speedlimit prevent some drivers to go faster than that. But we as players and consumers do need to know if and when there is action taken upon those that do cheat.
As for the current ac team, they know how many cheat per day, they know what cheats are used. They can’t however put an end to it, yet.
None of that made any sense at all. First paragraph you say anti-cheat is automated (which is what I said - so good on you), and in the next paragraph you think “the biggest factor is hackusations”.
So ya, everything else made as much sense as that.
“SUPER RARE CHEATERS”
[nonsense].
guy plays recon, has 0/0 k/d and has over 50k score. Not cheating 100% legit -_- another guy score 30 / 1 .. sure he can be lucky i guess. No. he is not dropping ammo or camping in a corner … he headshots people while running with a freaking MMG
your game recently has became INFESTED with very blatant and obvious cheaters. Very blatant and obvious people who ruin the game for everyone.
Do something damn it.
