Right now we’re helping out folks with Company Ownership issues and Players getting stuck, though hopefully, the latter is not as necessary anymore due to the recent v10 changes. Over time, we’ll be increasing the options for how we can support players as we identify more areas where it is necessary and implement more tools to tackle these. Please note, that we’re always going to be leaning on the side of technical solutions to game problems versus direct Game Master intervention where we can help it. We’re a small team and our resources are better funnelled into development. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[616]RexFortis 48 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) The Hackers/Cheaters do cost the game company monetary damage in sales and lost revenue, and therefore I would love to see a trend by game publishers/developers to file civil lawsuits against these hackers/cheaters...……..and ultimately possibly criminal investigations since it is a crime in every civilized country of the world to hack 3rd party servers.

There were few that did that, think blizzard did sue a company that made cheating software. But how can those gaming companies get those ppl to pay for that if they live in different country, don't think there is any force to get china ppl into european/american court. Just mass block asians, VPN, IP, their computers, ping, region lock. But this company won't do a thing lol, don't hold breath for even a ban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norad7 7 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) is it bannable to ask for 3rd party system hacks or exploits so i can use it against hackers ? im asking , maybe that will help me . Edited January 12, 2019 by norad7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess, that's propably possible to get a warning. Depends..., if thou wouldst go against other cheaters only and leave proper players alone, then that's fine by us, if we are in times where players have to make justice bcs devs are too greedy to make a region lock and put into a bunch of GMs..., just remember they might ban, one day, they just do it slowly, like VAC in tf2.

We just put up the support system a couple days ago. If you were submitting these, it definitely was not through the support system and can be very easily overlooked, as is the usual case when a fairly small team has to oversee a massive, passionate, and vocal player base.

Winter Thorne 696 Posted January 12, 2019 I'd caution against hacking and cheating, even in retaliation. Customer service is never going to get involved in a he said/she said situation. If somebody documents you cheating well enough to prove it and opens a ticket, you'll just get banned. They just put up the ticket system, and just today did some anti-hacking changes. Give it a few days, report issues sensibly and see what happens. It's not like they've got a staff of 12 working round the clock handling all these complaints. If you can't stand losing big things, don't build big things yet, and you won't have to be upset over it. I've got a shack on lawless (pve) and a couple of rafts, and finding a decent number of things to do. I'm not going to try to claim land till they work that mess out, and I'm not building bigger boats until I know some nimrod can't sink them. This should all shake out in a couple of weeks one way or the other. Remain calm. None of this is the end of the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What im trying to explain is that a guild has been hacking for the past weeks and it has been exposed here on forums / youtube / social media etc. company ( black butterfly ) from kraken maw NA PVP server A12 they keep doing it daily for the past weeks and it seems they dont do anything about it. I understand that they just put a ticket system , but still im not talking about a group of 2 or 3 people here posting , I have seen alot of people talking about them in youtube and in forums and they still dont get banned. Also i heard rumors they are the same guild that were using duping and hacking on Ark for years and they never got banned. You do not need a ticket system to help the community on something that has been posted on several threads not only by me but many others look on the search bar on forums i was not the first one to report them and the issue has been for days.
