Ability to revert account to earlier state in case of theft


Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

You ever got hacked? No? Lucky you.

                                Yes? They i guess you lost some goods.

So, my idea is to add another password. So, everything will be same in log-in screen (where you enter nick and pass)

If this gets implemented, newcomers will have to chose their safe-save password. Those who are alredy registered, when they log in, they will have pop up window, just like when you get pop up window for e-mail. Safe-save password will be necessary.

What's the purpose of it?

So, you log in game, play, so on, you log out. Tommorow, you see you got hacked. Someone spent all of ur crys, drugs... You cant reclaim it.

Everytime you want to log out of tanki, you would be able to press ctrl+s and write that safe-save password. When you do that, EVERYTHING on your account will be saved. If someone hacks you, you come to lobby, press ctrl+s, press another option: Recover. If you enter safe-save password, your whole account will be "returned in time" and everything you had when you saved your progress will be returned. So, this is something like saving account from hacking.

How to dodge abuse of it (you buy something, not satisfied, etc.)?

I think noone buys stuff in battle. So, before you buy something (turrets, hulls, modules), you will have to enter that safe-save password. When you login, you will have to enter safe-save password. It could be able to put it "remember".

That way, when YOU (for example) go to parkour battle, spend all drugs, you wont be able to recover them.

 

Any questions? I will answer.

Hope to implement this for player's safety.

Will drugs be returned? Gifts sent?

Good question. I'll find out.

 

As far as I know, the supplies will be given back and crystals from gifts will be returned.

Well, OK. I'll change the status.

 

Although your idea isn't all that great as it is. You're suggesting that everyone would manually save their account every time they log out just in case they get hacked, which is extremely inconvenient. Instead, there should be automatic back-up every day, or every few days, and if you do get hacked, you could just choose a back-up to go back to (and use a second password to actually do it).

Before you buy something (eg. Freeze M2), you will have to enter the password. That way, you accept that you wont be able to get refund. Else, you wont be able to buy it.

THAT DEFEATS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE! Of reverting your account back if you get hacked. If someone hacks this password, then you can't revert the account? Then how will this prevent the loss of crystals?

If they don't hack that password, then you won't need to restore the account in the first place. If they do, then you can't restore it.

IMO, this can easily be abused. Let's say I want to buy Thunder M3, but I want to test it first. I can buy it, play with it for a couple of days, and then revert back and get back my money, basically using something for free and losing no money while doing it. 

 

I love the idea, but I don't think it would be efficient and it can be loop holed, such as what if a hacker uses your account and reverts it to recruit? then where do you revert back to?.

If 1st password (log-in password) got hacked, it is most probably because player told the password. Also, you can add some special password that will be sent to your mail as soon as you connect mail with acc. Something like, i dont know... A-b-_.515z.541-v43uv-4. Pure example :D

There should be an extra, more powerful layer of protection to prevent hackers from stealing other people's accounts. I do like the concept of a time machine to reverse (undo) hacked accounts, though.
