Cheaters are rampant Official servers are dead the Truth on hackers

Conan Exiles General Discussion

Its sad to say Official is dead I’ve played since the game started testing I’ve experienced some great moments and then sad moments of clan members dying IRL to cancer and few having health problems cutting their time short ive made memories playing it but had the worst time playing this game which could be great in the future if the direction is handled correctly.

i cannot post the pictures due to acc names and DPA rules displaying personal peoples information ill get banned off forums of the hackers.

Cheaters The hard truth
I spoke to few cheaters last night for hours and the rabbit hole goes very deep.
Firstly official servers are doomed unless funcom act due to Chinese Organisation making the cheats then one of them sells out for money then releases the hacks, this group is way bigger then people can even comprehend they are a large group 30+ and they have affiliates they give cheats to to hold official servers or perform hacking duties to other players for money IRL.

They can clip through walls of structures using ghost mode they can obviously do the basic hacks speed and combat but it gets more advanced to teleporting to players and bedrolls/beds and placing bombs inside your base from outside the structures.

Nothings being done the report system is too slow and Funcom should implement an ingame report menu that can flag the anti cheat to perform a file check like world of warcraft did in the past to catch hackers as blizzard knew hackers would destroy the immersion of the game and fun all in one, Rust even has an ingame report system that works pretty well but it seems funcom appreciate the hackers and liek the fact they have to keep purchasing accounts where as the player that plays legit buys one account then quits due to being hacked against the hacker gets banned after months or few weeks of destroying 10000s hours of work in that time from other players trying to enjoy the PVP.

ITS A DISGRACE
Firstly is disrespectful to the community and rude to not be addressing the issues at hand You need a live Admin across Servers patrolling its lazy funcom have not already done this, with server populations of 300/400 world wide (LOL) your telling me funcom you could not pull a finger out and put an admin to patrol 10 servers thats just lazy and not responsive to the community.

FACTS AND BASICS

The hackers i spoke to do not care of funcom a new account is 3$ exactly what they said.

FUNCOM earn money from these hackers and hacks how do i know this ?

Look at it as a sales point

hackers buys 20 new accounts body vaulting and meshing on different accounts to save loot in case of potential unlikely bans where as the normal legit player buys one account builds a base gets banned for land claim or gets hacked against and quits not purchasing anything else and the hacks online im sure they earn money from them aswell 99$ for monthly hacks available to anyone for that price thats more then the game and renting your own private server, for the hacker it means total control over a public official server so imagine funcom has the ability to fix the cheater situation which they do but will not due to these factors and money makers.

it takes a few days to build a base and get thralls and 10 minutes for a hacker to destroy it all using cheats to make in unplayable they even perform server wipes in the last 10 minutes of raid time they place a bomb on every bed on every player in the server boom it and the boxes and loots is all theres.

Implement 2-4Live admins for shifts on servers STOP BEING LAZY

While I understand your frustration, this is just not going to happen because it is a business decision. It is not sloth, it is ROI.

My solution, when I decided official servers were toxic, was to spin up my own server.

While this can be done through a hosting company. There is also the option to run the stand alone server app on your own equipment and configure your firewall to limit traffic.

Waiting for Funcom to address this issue is waiting for the end of the world because there is no positive ROI for them in it and, as a business, if there is no profit, there is no incentive.

This is not an insult, it is gravity.

exactly what i described in my post but opening my own server or joining a private server should never be the option to avoid the rampant cheating and laziness.

And opening or joining a private server does not address hacking. It’s a means of reasonably avoiding it.

nail on the head. finally someone that sees the flaw of their laziness

This is why we no longer play the officials

“truth on hackers” :man_facepalming:

…are all hackers cheaters? How would you know? People’s racial/bias on hackers have ruined basic diplomacy. (The focus should be on the hack.)

Every programmer wants to automate it. Some get paid while others just shuffle the money around. Problem solved.

yes the truth on hackers and yes the focus should be on the hack but i was just explaining that it is a Chinese organisation running the cheats for years nothing racial bias about that its the truth and the issue is 80% of these hackers still exist and the server population for official right now was 467 people… LOL.

The game will die its inevitable at this stage i joined 4 other official servers today only to be greeted within 1/2 hours by a bunch of hackers that purchased the monthly cheats subscription so they have 0 morals and abuse the server and the position of power they have had for months one guy had the same hacking account for 8 months multiple videos 1019 thepunisher told me im not welcome on his server due to his friends not liking my name and no pvp allowed.

its like a chimpanzee with a machine gun nothings going to end well

I get it. I’ve moved on from hackers to social engineers. It’s easy to point out a hack and blame someone. At that point, the kernel still doesn’t care and lets the goods be processed. The forums here have several flaggers (not just likes).

Some say “there are hackers on these forums”. More correctly, “there are social engineers here that really know how to bend and re-subject the discussion.” You see, one involves the hack and the other doesn’t. Happy hunting!

You’re again trying to muddy the waters here. It doesn’t matter how much you use different wording. They do as they do. You know what they do, Reapy knows what they do, I know what they do.

There’s no such thing as hacker racism. You invalidate the true effects of racism with a comment like that. And bias? C’mon dude. It’s not bias when the game is not meant to be injected with cheats.

Stop excusing it.

Trying… smh… not. It does matter when someone uses different wording than the usual. Calling someone out as “troll” or “hacker” is trollish. It needs to be said. That’s when I usually leave the thread given the changes in the subject, especially when there is at least 10 long paragraphs to digest. I’m reserved on the flames.

I don’t have time for that. Okay, so you disagree about it being called racial. Remove the racial aspect, and see that stated bias is almost mandatory.

:thinking: I’ve been through this. I rather see stated bias. Thanks, for the response.

Jesus H Christ…youve never had to deal with hackers have you?

Who are you to judge who are hackers? Like I noted before, I did kernel programming, so I know the weight. Does using a hack make the user a hacker? :eyes:

Users are still running Wine. Some hack into Wine to play into CE. Does that make them hackers? Okay…

Speaking as the outsider here (who doesn’t suffer from hacks because I play in singleplayer) - you are coming across as speaking nonsense. I don’t know if it’s a language issue - maybe your translation software is failing to translate ‘hack’ or ‘hacker’ correctly.

Yes - it’s literally what the word means in this context. A fact you would probably notice if you actually paid attention to what people are saying.

Not the topic of this thread. Maybe that’s why you find yourself getting flagged when every reply you type seems designed to pull topics as far as possible away from the intention. Or is that the social engineering that you mean - your intentional manipulation of threads to take them off topic?

No - pointing out that there are people literally buying third-party software to enable them to cheat in a game is not trolling - it is pointing out a legitimate problem (that would commonly be called ‘hacking’ by anyone that speaks English). An example of trolling would be coming into every thread that discusses the hacking that these players are being subjected to, which is ruining their play experience, and trying to downplay the hacking. Arguing that there is no such thing as hacking, or that hacking is not cheating, or that discussing the fact that others are using hacks is trolling, or arguing that the discussion should be about your attempts at social engineering - those would all be good examples of trolling behaviour.

Nonsense like the docs on CoLinux/WSL exist but people rather think that Linux and Windows can’t run together at the same time on the same PC. That is the audience that prevails. Note that it is not a VMX trick.

Your very vague. If there was a real issue you would of been kind enough to PM me instead of re-subjecting the thread. I speak American English.

Social engineering is pretty much orthogonal to hackers. Re-subjecting a thread sounds like one of those hacks.

Your words are a bit extreme. I deny your accusation. It is simply hackers vs social engineers. It’s been that way for awhile.

Hacks are just unfinished code. It sounds like you are trying to get politics and grammar involved where you have argued.

One big Cheater basically said, “i will use every cheat against you.” It evolves. I know of these hacks, but I’m not the one telling you how. And, I’m not the one gaslighting in these threads.

Stop letting these hackers get to you like that, ahem! You still look like a social engineer making it up.

If you speak American English then perhaps choose words in contexts that are well understood.

You either don’t know what some of the words you use mean, don’t use them correctly, or use them to imply something else as if you have some kind of license on changing the definition. Like social engineers. You obfuscate the conversation the most.

This isn’t a battle on the Exiled Lands and no one here is out to get you. This is the forums. Treat it as such.

This is why I normally ignore what you write. I am not an idiot and neither are a majority of the frequent posters. If you spoke plainly then most of us would understand what you’re trying to say.

/me checks PM folder… nope, you addressed the situation, right here in this thread. :man_shrugging:

American English is very strict. Sounds like you rather speak from Oxford.

No you’re just gaslighting. I remember the first time we wrote in a thread together. It was like you tried to fit me into a bubble before you knew me, which you still don’t. And, you just publish it for all to read. You seriously expect me to follow that?

Hacking is very competitive. That is your mistake while you keep pointing in the dark.

The things that could be done with Wine. Note that WoW runs on wine. I wonder how they keep it secure? It wouldn’t be those drone processes looking for tweakers.

What would be the purpose in me PMing you instead of having the conversation right here? You do realize that when you write here that anyone will judge, respond, continue a conversation if warranted and give their opinions? It’s public. Are you embarrassed? Or is it easier for you to be cryptic here instead?

This makes no sense.

Gaslighting what??? Do you even know what this word means?

I respond to the information at hand. Unless I am absolutely sure I won’t divulge my suspicions.

Publish what? The public conversations?

This makes no sense.

This doesn’t add to the conversation, help to explain and is confusing.

Again, speak plainly in well understood words with an understanding that others are reading so they can absorb the information and respond accordingly. You haven’t changed my mind here.
