Friends List, Cheater Reports changes

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

These updates are the most important in my opinion. There is no point in introducing new features if the game isn't stable. There is much more work that can be done to reduce lags and increase efficiency. More updates like this please.

 

With respect to the "most common hacks", It would be great if you can stop other tanks from driving through players. They blame lag and it's difficult to prove they're using 3rd party software to achieve this. I just end up pushing the other player and come to a stop.

 

Hacks in the game just put players off buying. Why buy when players just cheat you anyway. These hackers laugh at the end of the battle too like they've actually achieved something fairly. No shame some of them.

Nives sir!

I deleted many friends due to your misinterpretation of the update :angry: :(

jump hack has been around for years and still no real way of stopping it ? if you left single crystals to drop instead of introducing the gold and 1 bulk gold crystals you wouldn't have as much of a problem. plus how are you going to solve the problem with in game crystals spammers taking the bulk of thew reward using 2 tanks isida and a self damaging tank ? 1 heals while the other damages self ? you cant stop this. they use small tanks and hide in a corner and its only till battle end you realise they have scammed the whole team. the kick system does not work cause i play and get kicked from battles when doing nothing wrong. It may be a good idea to have a number system when voting so admin know what there looking for eg  /vote1 name   means jump hack   /vote2 name means crystals spamming and so on.

Those that combine hacking skills with prudence are the worst.  When the kids and teens get ahold of a hack they are generally pretty easy to spot.  Jump hacking is a real pain to conceal since everyone is watching for the gold.

 

The other day I was in a Silence and there was a Wasp-Thunder hacking, probably an adult.  I knew he was hacking- but the man was clever enough to keep it to a minimum.  His d/l was nothing insane, his score could easily have been explained away to drugs, partly because he would let himself get killed every now and then.

Everyone else in the battle thought he was just good- I probably would have put it down to a trick of the mind myself, or lag, or something, if I hadn't caught him in the act scoring a kill while firing at a wall.

 

At this point battle mods and videos don't do that much- the real solution is to target the "code signal" of the hack itself.  And so like you I appreciate this update perhaps more than most.

I will be happy to edit if there is any missleading information in the announcement. It states "if you already have more than 300 friends, only friends that haven’t played for longer than 6 months will be removed from your Friends List".

Thanks a lot.. I can't do anything now :(  ...

I didn't focus on this on Mobile App.

Also it's stil confusing. 300 Active players means what?

and what if we try to make new friends...

 

I think i won't be able to add those again :(

Surprisingly, they add this update after the multiple x10 and x5 gold drop rate. Meh, at least they're gonna put an end to those pesky hackers

[bozo88 450]

A. Stop fixing what ain't broke

B. YAY! I hope the anti fly hack are refined so that when for some reason I end up on top of other tanks I don't self destruct for no reason.

[Jaws 0]

:(, This means i cant hack on alt accounts anymore :/

An active player is anyone who has played within the past 6 months. I have probably 800-1000 friends, so only the ones who haven't played in over 6 months will go way, leaving me with ~400-600 friends. The execution isn;t botched, the entire idea is.

[sillyedwin20 112]

The thing is tho. The lag is literally from a few updates.

 

Back then even if you had 1000 friends it wouldn't lag as much as it does now.

Before some updates there were literally 0 lag issues. The games loaded perfectly fine, you didn't get "server connection lost" unless someone logged onto your acc and now this is happening often. AND its not even OUR fault.

[Guest]

But you don't have to worry if you don't have more than 300 players, and if you do you should support my idea of best friends.

I have a lot more than 300 friends and I'm not the type of guy who just adds people because they send me a request... Will need to delete some "less important" friends to keep the more important casual ones, what a terrible decision to make...

[4RCH4NG3L 296]

Doesn't make sense.  Double Damage would do something to the actual bullets and not affect the overheating, which is caused by the rate and gas.

Isida doesn't heal itself by attacking you any more.  The developers took that away. 

Also, Isidas heal other Isidas because that is their ability.  Nothing in the game says that the total hp of a team should always be the same.

Actually bullets contain the material that burns to make internal pressure that accelerates the bullet. Double damage suspects higher speed, longer shell and more explosive material inside the bullet. This does affect overheating rate, although definitely won't make it to double.

Im glad I saw this update coming... Backed up my friends list by copying every nickname into a text file. Good with the server optimization concern... These fly hackers were everywhere in the last 2 weeks. Almost every battle, flying at golds.

 

 

Next thing I request devs to focus on, is saboteurs in battles. Even at low ranks. Create some algorithm to detect if the player actually is sabotaging the team AFTER that player's been voted by all other players for it, or to be kicked. (Depending on time in the battle, time remaining, score, equipment, etc)

 

Then, apply some equipment restrictions to battles. At many ranks, players have fully upgraded M's (according to their rank) and on the other hand, others have non upgraded lower M's. This creates a huge difference in battles and is unfair in all types of battles, and those players are a huge loss to teams.

 

RIP old friends. :(

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?

[Heles 9,220]

Just a question, But will the changes to the system to stop fly hackers from taking golds affect if no one was hacking in the first place? This could be a problem, I've watched videos where people were banned unjustly and wouldn't this worsen that? It could help but hopefully you guys can make sure that this won't cause any problem to non hackers...

[maria-mary 23]

Nice  i guess :)

[Destrod 2,634]

Thank you.

[YouWannaSkype 13]

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....

[Rooky 414]

Noooo! The old anti cheat system is back :( I got self destructed today when I got on top of someone to take gold. Please return old system and find another way to deal with hackers. This anti cheat system used to make us normal players lose a lot of golds in the past!

This update will only really benefit those who are low on good friends. Who cares about a tiny bit of improvement in game performance when it's at the cost of deleting your friends forever.

[Pyre 3,485]

As usual Bad.

Ah, these people who complain without having a reason... I enjoy their foolishness :rolleyes:
