Friends List, Cheater Reports changes

''With the update we will also add protection against jump hacks to the anti-cheat system, which will help us stop the hackers from stealing Golds in the future.''

 

Does that mean legal players will also automatically self-destruct oftener because they jumped on someone and the automatic selfdestruct system thought it was a jump hack?

After all these years they finally taking care the flying cheat, if it is really going to work. How about other cheats those even worse? Pretending doing something because too many complains?

Of course, it is used to take care of legal players like you and I. I am sure we will encounter bunch of cheaters in battles.

To be honest, this is great. Nives listens to our feedback unlike Cedric. I know exactly how it feels for people during the Black Friday gold hackers. Rather than players fighting for gold, it was hackers. In a polygon CP that was going on for 7 hours, around 14 golds dropped. I remember at one point, 6 players on my team and 3 on the other were hackers. After the gold, my team was almost completely empty. You just see the players jumping around. I hope you guys can put in a system where we can PM during a battle so we can tell people to report someone without the hacker finding out. I just played a sandbox 2v2 against a player nick=>Lazy_lemon who always uses Hesoolver. I'm not sure, but it looks different than a railgun shot. The rail would power up, but the shot would look like it was fired before the rail was done powering up completely. Once, on a Red Alert, I hit his side of the turret, his hull went up, but the rail shot hit me like it was straight. I reported him and there was a big yellow banner on the Battle screen which I prayed he didn't see. He immediately turns off the hack and pretends to be crying about lag. You should remove that banner.

I find hackers annoying just as much as buyers.

Have a quick question for you. Suppose I'm in a game with Marshals (It happens I have picture evidence)

-I have a M2.10 Magnum and M2.9 Hunter. I also have a m1.9 wasp. Would your algorithm pick me up if I used my wasp because its an m1 in a m3 battle, even if it is nearly m2 and it is quicker and thinner than my Hunter so I have other motives for its use? As a general, I often find myself running into 3 and 4 stars with worse equipment then I have, and I have also seen a m3.16 floating around. Some 1 and 2 stars don't have m2s, they micro upgraded and so they have a lot of m1.7 and m1.8s in their garage. Would they be considered saboteurs?

If such algorithm were to be developed, it will definitely take into account micro-upgrades (if it takes into account equipment in the first place). It would be likely that score, relative score and score/time ratio for example are taken into account in such algorithm. 

 

Well, Kinda sucks for battle Mods Now..... They will need to work overtime, Since now they have to be In every battle where someone gets reported for hacking....

If all goes according to plan, there will be a lot less hackers in battles after the update. That hopefully leaves more time for battle moderators to spend on saboteurs.

I dunno.  Saw a couple tanks bouncing in the air today as well as some law-abiding players self-destructing because of the anti-cheat.

 

The spirit is good- let's hope the practice matches that.

You really believe that? You honestly believe that the dev cooked this up on short notice? The hackers were going crazy before Cedric-the-bad left. It takes this long for the dev to get around to fixing it. I won't comment on Nives, he's still new, but don't indulge in lame conspiracy theories.

nice

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Sounds good on all fronts.

[Scott_Lang 0]

Yes! Finally!

One thing they left out: They need to make it so that you can /vote spammers, scammers, etc. in the lobby chat. 

[Fresh 2,390]

we need kick system back , for kick mults from the battel 

mults are bad than hackers

I remember those days :D

[lukey0 27,543]

Sounds good!

 

I guess it's people like me who are the reason behind this update.  :ph34r:

 

 

I currently have around 240 on my main, so I should be good.  :ph34r:

Hackers will just update there hacks so there will still be hackers lol they can update there protections but the hackers will be back

Want to share your thoughts on the new update? Post here!

With your logic then, we shouldn't update anticheat because "hackers will always update their hacks"

The reports will work as usual, and Battle Mods will join the battle to see who is breaking the rules, but after the restart it will be much harder for cheaters to run away.

 

 

Finally, cheaters will never cheat and will get banned EASILY if they do. I have been waiting for this update forever. 

But quick question: 

Will moderators be able to see chat ???

because players are almost always breaking rules in chat.

I don't think it's really necessary, since there are only several chat channels making them easy to moderate.

About time Tanki fixed the hack.  I'm just afraid the "cure" may be worse than the disease.  I've had games where I got "airborne" coming off a hill, landing on another tank, etc., and just got a "self-destructed" message and boom!  I was gone.  I  chalked it up to one of the many (many, many) bugs that Tanki never bothers to fix.  I'm thinking this "cheat" fix might just become another "bug" if it just looks at how high you are or how fast you got there.

 

As for the "new" maps (i.e. old maps with a coat of paint and a new marketing spiel), some are actually not bad - but they're not good REPLACEMENTS for the old maps.  Does anyone like the new "Polygon" enough to lose the old Polygon?  I don't.  I mean, the new map is okay - but I liked the old map better.  Industrial zone?  The new one sucks.  Massacre?  Again, I liked the old map better.  Don't mind the new map - but if I can have only ONE, I'd take the old one in a heartbeat.  The new Brest map?  Sucks.  Hard.  Highland is probably the ONLY map that I think is good enough to replace the original, that is, the ONLY new map that's actually better than the one it replaced.

 

What baffles me is why Tanki couldn't come up with some actual NEW maps?  Is it really that hard?  Sit down, create a map from scratch... done!  Not butcher an old map and call it "new".

 

And why is it that there are only a few maps available for missions?  Tanki is getting pretty freaking boring limited to just a few maps for missions.

Of all the updates, changes and preceived improvements that the Tanki Developers could do this is an elephant sized pile of warm excrement.  Thank you so very fornicating much for ruining my friends list.  I will have you know that several of my friends on my friends list were my other lower level accounts.  I had not played them in a while because I have been honing this account.  Now quit fortuitous for me that four of my accounts have similar handles.  However, I have my two oldest accounts with such a unique name that I may not recover those at all.  How about fornicating asking before you roll out such a feature so that players could have hopped into their lesser played accounts.  

 

I am not happy about this Tanki.  I am not happy about it all.

A team mate has notified me that the enemy was using a ''swap location'' after the update

Would it be a good idea to bring back the ability to search a friends name who's in your friends list already?

[fireflame12 7]
