Cheaters really need to just fuck off and do something else with their lives. They are just sad assholes who can't accomplish anything without cheating. With that lack of integrity, they'd make great CEOs. But with the lack of morality and stick-to-it-ness, I guess they'd fit better as middle management.
Games should make hacker servers or hacker zones where it’s free for all to change your game however you want it. I understand the fin in changing the gameplay of a game to make it new.
That's been done before in Minecraft anarchy servers. The results are fascinating
What was the results?
Ever seen what a griefer can do to another players building? Imagine that but on a 100x larger scale
Look up fit-mc on YouTube, he has a ton of videos on the history of the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft.
I would love a sneaky anti cheating system, where if you are detected the game behind the scenes starts making everyone else's shot at you 100% headshots 😂 so there you are, trying to cheat, but you can't get a single shot off because stray bullets are just homing at your noggen!
I love the hilarousness of the idea, but unfortunately aimbots can just auto-fire at the first pixel, while humans won't even register that you appeared for "long" milliseconds. However, if the game can force other people's shots at you then I guess it can also force your shots to miss.
Or even better, it forces a banana suit on you, so you can carry on playing but everyone knows who you are.
Some already do. You have what's known as "cheater ques" or "cheater lobbies" where cheaters get shadowbanned to only play against other cheaters
Why say "in 24 hours" when it's a ban wave. They detected the cheater long before "24h".
I was falsely banned while playing the early access campaign. I put zero weight into these claims that they e banned x number of users.
I was instantly permabanned for adding RAM to my computer while having the game installed. First game I've ever been banned before. And instantly permanent? I would think there would be a warning at least! I wonder how many else are falsely banned.. Because @kadu@lemmy.world have a point, it used to be those who cheated who complained, and this makes it difficult for a faulty cheat detection to be picked up by the devs. More so when they think "they have fixed it" after the first time a wave got falsely banned.
I spent a day really angry about it, ranting on reddit. Was pretty shocked from it. Then I calmed down and figured I didnt enjoy that game enough to take it further.
That sucks man sorry to hear that. I spent a little bit longer than you ranting and raving lol. It wasn't so much that I was upset about not being able to play, because honestly I didn't like the game very much, but more that this massive corporation just stole $100 from me and there was literally no recourse. Never buying a single thing from Activision and their parent company again.
Eh, they'll all be back tomorrow.
According to everyone you talk to in FPS games nobody ever cheats.
Like how in prison everyone there is innocent?
"...This feature gives developers the ability to deploy flagged decoys both as a deterrent for identified cheaters and as a method to detect suspicious players..."
Damn, that's a convoluted genious-mind-game right there. Place a fake "elements of interest" for a cheater, see if they fall for it, run inferential statistics to determine if they significantly have an erratic behavior from the rest of the players, ban them if p < 0.05
I wonder if they’ll crackdown on the old titles as well. With the acquisition all but locked , I feel MS will try to promote a lot of the older titles on GamePass which will definitely experience a massive boost in popularity.
