Flag Hacking: a Fix?

[coolwizz10 1]

Here's a thought, since flag hacking is an ongoing problem with no cure in sight, what if it was changed so that once you score a flag, you are "unpermitted" to score again for a period of seconds, say 15 or 30? You might be able to grab and hold it, but won't be able to score for a long wait?

 

That way, if some scumbag hacker tries to score again, he would be shot. That should be easy to do since most of these flag hacking scum cheaters are noobs with little firepower and/or armor; that's why they need to cheat to advance in rank and crystals.

Developers are doing what they can.

they are not noobs but of really high ranks players. they created new accounts jst for the hacks to help out team mates.. no matter how many times they've been blocked, they'd come in again and do all over again and again and again.. the only way around this i believe is to put a stop at the technical sides. fix the bugs.

It is not only that - there are hacks which provide you great number of crystals or are dope-hacks. I can't say, but it must be something, because there's no sense in being doped non-stop during battle and spent 300 crystals to earn 100 or 150. I meet such druggers all the time - come and spoil the game. Would be good if buying drugs would be stoped because only motivate cheaters - but it won't be stoped, because it means money for developers and developers are Russians and they don't care if few russian cheates (number of cheaters is very smal in compare of buyers) cometrough without paying. Actually that is benifit for developers, since this cheaters stimulate "west" players-buyers to buy more drugs. beside of that this cheat can't be proven from side of other players same as flag-hacking or other cheats.

You are right, but they won't do anything if that won't endanger their earns. What is happening now, actually doesn't endanger their profit.

 

@ White_Owl - sorry, but I don't think so. What is happening all the time proves me opposite. Beside of that servers are connected only on one provider (as I see from trace-route) who make a huge delay from time to time and causes all the problems about the lag and other problems that type. There was no response on complaints of that type. It goes even worse. I'm not sure (can't prove, but can imagine) that some "maintenance-guys" at that provider are players too and are involved sometimes in this "problems", since some strange "disconnections", when should earning nice amount of crystals, occurred to me and I find out (in complaints) that other has same problems too.

Hi,

 

I'm sorry to disagree, but the real problem isn't how fast you cap the flag, but how easy it is.

 

1. So if hacker can't cap 10 flags in 10 seconds he will cap these on 150 seconds, but he will capture the flags ....

2. It would be more difficult to proove hacking, right now its obvious that flags were taken using the cheat.
