Not sure if it’s a bug or a hack, but someone is constantly entering a completely sealed base outside raid hours(yes I’ve checked a lot of times and even with a pro tried using the force through action and found no way they could have gotten in and out that deep into a base(over 30 doors their getting past inside a sealed cave) they have taken quite a bit of stuff already and I would like an explanation. But since you, funcom have a rep of ignoring these things. I may have to get the police involved assuming the person is using illegal hacks. (I have over 4000 hours into this game) so if you won’t do anything to replace and help solve the issue I’ll take matters into my own hands.
Could be a player who just has very bad internet and the building could have a render issue for them allowing them to just walk right in it without having to actually attack it the ps4 pro is great for this on large buildings since it reduces the lag spike while the render is resolving.
I run a PS4 pro and attempted it, I could get past the first two doors but he is getting past doors, using an elevator to get up and everything. My base is designed with over 60k building pieces inside a cave. Only thing I can think of is the server admin password on official was hacked. The dude has been doing it while we all are offline and the logs are showing over an hours worth a time being inside doing the stuff. Also it has been two days in a row that he has done it.
Official servers are nulled for admin in the database would be impossible to gain admin access and if it were done they would know the log would record it. has to be something else they are doing.
That’s what I figured, but I can’t figure out how he is doing it. I contacted the player doing it. My only thought is an illegal program at this point since dude did open a locked chest. If it is a illlegal program I can actually report a this as a cyber crime(I’ve done programming myself so I know some stuff about what goes on.) Since it’s breaking all terms of use funcom has in place. I also build my bases to counter the PS4 render issue so those who try that can’t access it. It just sucks having all your hard work taken away when from you when it’s being done outside game parameters.
If what you suspect is true, it wouldn’t just be a violation of Funcom’s ToS, it would be a violation of Sony’s as well, meaning a potential ban from PSN entirely for them if that is the case.
Sounds like you are another victim of a hacker using a hacking software/program that is based on games (PC PS4 X-BOX) and yes I know this cause I am a former hacker that now works to stop hackers. IF I was you I would havre contacted SONY if Funcom doesn’t take action. Even a noob hacker can use that software, and I reccomend report this person to Sony to start with. and if can I would have given them some kind of evidence of any sort.
Oh please could you make a video when you go to your local police station? And do a closeup on the officers face when you tell him someone robbed your virtuell stuff in your fortress down in the cave in hyboria. I would die to see his face
You do understand how ridiculous you sound with these empty thread don’t you?
Technically speaking, exploiting a computer system beyond what it permitted (this includes applications running on servers such as game servers) is an illegal action in a lot of jurisdictions, but you’re right that regular joe blow officer won’t give a rat’s ■■■ about it. The only cases I’ve seen where law enforcement give a damn is if swatting is involved or one of the kids is using a botnet to take down servers. But a minor in game exploit that the host provider/developer isn’t actively claiming is causing monetary loss and pressing for legal action against? probably nothing.
Also, the more likely culprit here is under meshing and the player popping through an unsealed ground/wall area to get into your base. You might have also left a a lot of chests unlocked too.
Another issue is desync. It just takes enough lag to stay in a desynced state to accomlpish exploiting it. And if desynced, he may be able to “ghost” through alot of defenses. That is why people are invisible sometimes when you fight them. That is why NPC’s sometimes stare at you mindlessly, even while you poke them. The chest deal is easy to miss an open chest, and not lock it. (why is it not default locked!!! when you place)
but you see the difference here right? hacking a game or using an exploit to enter a virtual sealed base is not a real threat to anyone and it just violates sony and funcom terms of usage. thats it. Funcom or Sony can now take private legal actions if they wanted. Using a bot net to take down a server, hacking a nuclear power plant hackin into an air traffic control tower. These are real threats that can cause a catastrophy.
Yes, only the server/service owners can press for legal action and even if they did its a costly moot point to go after some kid across international boundaries when a simple ban system would have been more cost effective. I suppose if OP had lots of $$ to blow he could sue said “hacker” in civil court for harassment and emotional distress after subpoenaing Sony and G-portal for user info, records, IPs etc. But again, a waste of time, effort and money.
