Everyone knows about this problem a long time ago, but now it seems every server got at least one. This is getting anoying, and many legit players are leaving the game because of this. This guy have the audicity to tape his “achievements” and post it on you tube… without even mask his info (spoted along the video… name, id, map location…everything… total impunity).
If someone pays on 2114 or simply have the time to check it, please nuke this guy off:

Server: 2114 ;

Funcom PLEASE fix this, he had undermash, bases off green wall, dupping systems now this… :frowning:

And this vid is exactly why I left PVP. Skybase on the raider and illegal fence stacking on the defender. The entire playstyle is dominated by finding ways around the rules and abusing that against those that just want to play the game fairly.

More: When do you just come to terms that the playstyle, itself, is the issue with this game because the dev team aren’t designing a PVP only game and because of this, their will always be exploits and cheats that spread through content providers and become meta and therefore a requirement to play.

Why do laws exist? To keep people in line.

In a game, you can enforce the laws by programming restrictions. This is the job of the developer, be it PvE or PvP game.

It is more Officials. On private servers good admins will ban them away immediatly. The admins enforce their rules.

True, except when the players are admin friends, then rules usually get changed mid fight lol.

They did that with fence stacking and guess what? They found away to work around that. Laws are only as good as the enforcement actions against rule breakers otherwise they might as well be considered suggestions.

The point here is that cheating isn’t just encouraged anymore by the players at large but mandatory to play PVP. The video shows two clans at war. Both are cheating. You can’t deny that every new update is heavily scrutinized for flaws and weaknesses to gain leverage over each other. Content providers put out content showing how they got around this or that rule and everyone gobbles it up. They may bitch and complain about it but they are doing the same meta/exploit as everyone else. Each player has a morality line where they just don’t cross and then they walk away from the game .

This game’s PVP only works as well as the player base maturity in it. No matter what code is used to correct an issue, there will always be new exploits for a game that is currently being developed because the development creates new avenues to exploit.

I mean if you want the most telling of FC development on those players that will exploit in a way to antagonize other players, look at the dev stream for AoW chpt 3 when confronted with the question over a toxic player that remains in the NPC base to prevent respawning of the base for other players to enjoy. They literally had nothing to say about it and hoped it players wouldn’t do something like that. If your dev and community folks are that far disconnected from online gaming players, how on earth would you think this would be anything but dismal failure for a PVP game? Almost every successful PVP story I have heard over this game was due to mature players ensuring it was happening. Every failure I heard about was due to exploits, hacks, and cheats with everyone pointing to FC to do something about it when FC has been pretty consistent in their standard of …

Then this particular private server is trash and should be avoided.

so 75% of them. Or at least from my experience. And the main rules usually tweaked for friends mid fight are,
No offlining, until they get beat back by a non friend clan. Then it’s “should have neen on” like officials.

Cant re-raid if stopped for 30 minutes, until the friends have 8 hours available on week night to constantly bombard you.

Building limit, until they need something to do, then it is case btly case.

No raiding a new clan in first 7 days, until that clan power levels to build up defenses.

No allie raiding, until, again, cant when an equal battle.

Yeah the temptation is just too great. I caught myself admin spawning in purple and black lotus in my solo game because I was under the gun for timing and wanted to see how the lotus orbs work in the SP game (which BTW OMFG I had a full retinue of t4 thralls within an hour).

C’mon dude, you know there’s a huge problem with private PVP admins and favoritism.

I know you’ve been on the bandwagon for privates for some time but you wouldn’t have to claim they’re better than Officials if Funcom actually regulated their base game properly.

And private admins wouldn’t even need to ban them because the system would take care of it…

Then fix it properly. Not these half assed incompetent fixes Funcom does.

It’s all purely Funcom’s fault. Their incompetence and lack of dedication towards the game is bad for it.

Hence you should not play on Officials and on privates instead.

I have no problems with the private servers I am on.

If I spot a rigged private server, I avoid it and warn other people about it.

Funcom is the problem here again. It all boils down to Funcom. Officials could be so much better if Funcom would want them to be.

He used circle of power in his skybase.
That doesn’t even work on higher ground. How he use that in skybase? Is that long time ago?

Absolutely Funcom’s responsibility 100%

But insinuating or outright telling people not to play on Officials is not a solution to exploits or 3rd party cheats.

Plus if you keep doing that you’re going to sound like the other parrots on here. Please don’t as I respect you XD

Personally, I rather play on well managed private servers than hoping that this garbage game dev company fixes the exploits in their game.

They can’t even do simple game balance. Heck, they don’t even know that you can’t raid on official PvE-C !!!

I am done with these trash devs. I might install Conan again just to level up the next BP.

No more Funcom games for me…

Funcom doesn’t prioritize PvPers, they prioritize DLC packs. I’ve stopped reporting these bases because when myself or my friends get banned, we just get automated responses back with no information. Almost always it has been a false report that triggers the ban and Zendesk is 90% people who don’t care and don’t look, and 10% people who are actually responsive and helpful, even if it isn’t the response you want. If they aren’t going to help me, I’m not going to help them. Take care of the base yourself, learn to live with it, move servers, or quit playing. This is the system Funcom perpetuates.

This is what I don’t understand about this statement.

There’s a number of people who claim to believe that you can get banned on the regular falsely from just a number of reports. Like they state that they believe you can be falsely banned if enough people report you.

If you all believe this is actually true. Why haven’t you all used it?

Like ok, you found a skybase and think nothing will happen if you report it. But what if you all get together. Share the details, and then just mass report them? I mean more than a dozen of you believe a mass report works. If it works against the innocent it should work just as well against the guilty.

I mean you all believe that a person can be banned who…

Isn’t overbuilt
Isn’t blocking anything
Isn’t obstructing anything
Isn’t using any hate speech
Isn’t bothering anyone

Who gets enough reports. And how many of you are there that believe this? More than a dozen of you all, right? Should be more than enough I’d imagine, more than enough to fill a clan on one of these servers.

So let me organize this all for you. I’m going to type a paragraph in quotes, and I want everyone who believes what it states to quote it and say “I agree with this.” Once we have around ten people who do this (or more) I want someone to share details about a skybase or other cheater with everyone who replied in private messages. You all are going to take those details and make a zendesk report.

If what you all believe is correct, the person who offended should be automatically banned. So let’s see what we can do here:

In the servers provided by Conan, you can be innocent of any infraction of their server rules and simply be banned by the number of reports.

Remember to quote the above with “I agree with this”. Then once enough people have done so, someone start a private message with everyone to share the details for a mass zendesk report. Remember, only to use this method for good and ban an actual skybaser or hacker.

Lets see how many people will actually sign on to do this. Surely there’s at least a dozen.

Since you did not quote the indicated part with the response that you agree, can we assume that you don’t?

Not all private servers are like that and this mentality is also very annoying or frustrating for people who run legit and great servers. Like talk about broad strokes.

There are some great servers run by dedicated people who want to do a good job and have a great atmosphere for pvpers to play.

Here are some just to name off a few
-Fate
-Immortal lands
-darfari

  • EU event server
    -Empire gaming

Play on any of these and I guarantee you will have a pleasant experience with out any of that “admin” abuse comment stuff
