Hackers Everywhere

Diplomat · 2024-03-15T00:59:58.535Z

lol certain topics not appropriate. What a joke of a reply. Hackers constantly plague official PvP servers. It’s absolutely ridiculous at the lack of attention these cheaters receive. If it’s not expressed in the forums where should someone go for it? How would the issue ever get resolved? When will our voices be heard?

It’s quicker to get banned from saying restricted words than it is to get hackers actioned on.

I know you usually have the best of intentions.

But no.

The hacking is at it’s WORST. Comes in waves but this is the most consistent its ever been and they know nothing will be done immediately to the point that entire clans of hackers are showing up.

It requires attention and to be discussed.

This one sympathizes.
However, this one is at a loss for how the problem may be remedied. While there is (anecdotally) an uptick in this particular issue, the overarching framework that has allowed this is not new and finding an efficient and effective way to deal with it has proven vexatious at best and quixotic at worst.

Sparkyguy:

We need some form of active moderation.

It’s being standardize, where possible. Standards help optimize/quantize the queue of help. If we have experimental in production then something went wrong.

NEW Bug Report Template PC Bug Reports

Bug Reporting Template We’re testing out a new forum component that allows for drop down menus and forms. While this is not a perfect solution for bug report forms, the goal is to make bug reporting easier and smoother. This is far from a final version and is subject to change or even be scrapped. Thank you! Once you fill out the form, the information prints in a box at the bottom of this post. Please scroll down so you can copy and paste for your own bug report. Basic Info Please fill out…

Reporting issues and not using the above form is a little like typing on your computer without swtiching it on first.

I completely agree with you.
Cheaters are a scourge that must be eradicated.
I just reacted because the author’s previous subject was, as usual, closed without further explanation by the moderator.
This forum is for us, it allows us to communicate between us and the developers, it is there to exchange our ideas, opinions, remarks: but as for Funcom turns a deaf ear to certain subjects .

I am neither pro ■■■■■■ nor anti FunCom, just a player and a client like you, annoyed by certain choices and decisions of Funcom. I hope that @AndyB And developer iFinally, take their reponsabilities in the face of this cheating problem and will accept dialogue with us on this subject.

every time i post because i am concerned about the games sate with cheating. My posts get hidden. so, they’re actively trying to downplay this major problem.

this post will get gone in about 20 mins

Not always, it really is in how you word it.

They’ll delist it especially if the method of hacking is described.

Kikigirl · 2024-03-15T14:19:42.219Z

It’s not particularly a bug though. It’s an injection, like a mod.

They’re fully aware of the problem since Zendesk tickets are submitted daily.

It is the lack of communication, acknowledgment and action we’re having to come to terms with on Funcom’s side. Which prompts discussions like this.

We’ve already done our due diligence.

Kikigirl · 2024-03-15T14:21:46.683Z

Indeed. 1 hacker clan vowed to take down each official PVP server. But this one didn’t because they were countered by other hackers.

Seeing hacker clan vs. hacker clan battles now too.

Monkworks · 2024-03-16T00:18:39.423Z

It’s actually a currently downloadable mod on steam. I will not name it, but when you get rocked the hacker’s grief you with the name.

it’s before the alphabet O and not after the alphabet Q.

I think it’s time to sunset official PvP servers and leave it to private servers to handle this aspect of the game. At least there will be some form of live moderation.

Monkworks · 2024-03-16T00:36:42.803Z

I believe the future of online gaming hinges primarily on the assurance of a secure platform. Introducing standardized tests or ratings for games based on their coding integrity is imperative. It would be beneficial to have a second-party assessment affirming the soundness of the code, thereby assigning suitable grades.

This would provide long-term players with peace of mind, knowing that the games they invest years into are built on a solid foundation. (GPT version of my edit) (integrity - is a large word here and totally effective)

GodlyVoice · 2024-03-16T00:38:19.373Z

I work as a software dev and what you want is pure fiction.

Monkworks · 2024-03-16T00:42:03.698Z

I do too so, but totally disagree

GodlyVoice · 2024-03-16T00:47:49.989Z

Remember when Gabe Newell claimed Steamguard was hacker proof and got his account broken in less than 24h? We’re talking about a company worth billions.

Monkworks · 2024-03-16T00:51:27.519Z

I agree with you, bro. It’s crucial that we don’t allow this to become the norm. Perhaps we could consider using AI to assess the situation. AI could suggest the framework to build it within and advise on how to safeguard it effectively. Additionally, AI could continuously generate defensive adjustments and assessments in real-time. (GTP edit)

GodlyVoice · 2024-03-16T00:56:28.453Z

I see your point. Maybe we’ll have new tech in the next 2 years tnx to AI.

HappyFaceOne · 2024-03-16T01:53:00.485Z

Damn if only Funcom could afford a mediocre anti-cheat or maybe just a few people to fly around in admin mode to check what’s going on with people spamming fly-bases.

Anyways, I’m sure a new bazaar set of pillows for 50 dollars will fix this.
