The big Assassins rant.

[Deleted member 204478]

Welcome to assassins! The lovely awful game where hackers and cheaters all meet up and have a jolly-good time!! :D​

It's about time someone spoke out for this game after a while, I guess I'll be the one doing it.
Seriously though, where do i start.

Hackers

Oh boy! I bet you never saw this coming.
It's just ridiculous, the amount of hackers that play this game is insane. In fact, as I'm writing this, I died to TWO hackers that teamed on me. Lost all my stuff. And of course, this isn't a one time thing, this happens nearly 3 to 4 times a week for me.
It's very frustrating getting the stuff you grinded for 1 or 2 hours straight, and then dying 10 minutes later by some pathetic bhopper. I'm sure everyone knows/ experienced these situations.
Also, it doesn't help that the anticheat is garbage.

Shopcampers/ Shopfighters

Another known issue in Assassins, please fix this.

Spoiler: Shopfighter definition

A player who goes out of the shop, hits the player, goes back in, goes out, hits the player, etc. Basically the cheapest way to fight.

Spoiler: Shopcamper definition

A player who stays in the shop and doesn't fight. He may get out of the shop the tiniest bit just to make sure his food bar is okay.

So how can we solve the problem? Simple. Make the food bar go down a lot faster when in the shop, and not to instantly reset the decrease time when they get out the shop for a split second. The players would have to get out the shop for a longer period of time for the food bar to not decrease so quickly.

Lack of staff support

Title says it all, I barely see a variety of different staff check up on assassins.
The only staff I see are @Fluffys_gurl , @StorySays and @telegamer . I really appreciate the three of you. Seriously. But that's about it for this one, no need to explain that much.


Lack of attention over the years

It makes me annoyed the fact that this game died a while ago.
I really enjoy this game, I would play it everyday, seriously.

Spoiler: Stats

The game barely got any big updates, and I doubt it ever will.
A lot of well-known players that used to play back in the day don't even play now due to points mentioned in the thread. It's disappointed.
I'm probably the most frequent player in assassins that used to play back in the day aswell, everyone else pretty much gave up.

Remember the days when you could screenshot your items and if a hacker kills you, you could get it back?
Remember the days when there were dropparties by TImeLord?
Remember the days when the game was actually great?

Ahh, I remember those days.

I.E Assassins is just thriving in the desert right now, and barely gets any attention.

Time for me to sign off. o/

I do agree with this i hate when this guy im 1v1 and he runs back to shop and wait 30 seconds and leaves.

 

[Grimmay]

Agree with all points mentioned. I don't see how hard it would be for your fixes to be implemented, however I also don't see them coming any time soon. I know that it was nice getting gear back in the old days, but Cube is a lot bigger now, it isn't as easy to have such a close knit community, however I do see your frustration.

I would love to see an assassins update soon, but considering the Parkour and Skyblock situation, I don't see it being soon :(

Nice Thread though.

Spoiler: Cough

Hope you are looking forward to the "Sentinel isn't perfect" / "report here" replies, I can bet money there will be a few of them.

I saw another server that had a brilliant fix for this which I thought was awesome and it would be epic if Cube had it:

Basically whenever a player is tagged in combat, there appears red glass blocks blocking the entrance to the nearby shops (The blocks can only be seen by the tagged players). I've seen this before so it is possible to do.

Other than that, I agree with all your other points you mentioned

Those comments will get me like:

 

[Deleted member 204478]

Bump.

 

[Dreym]

Agree completely. There is almost no motivation to play Assassins anymore and is becoming the dying game in Cubecraft. Unless anything drastic changes, I bet it will be the next game to get removed.

 

[Animee]

I agree , when I am almost killing a guy with diamond or iron armour , he is going to shop camp , and btw I agree with the suggestion overall! +100000

 

[CookiesAlwaysWin]

Agree, for sure. sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, I play assasination. And I do see hackers. yes I do.
so, #MakeAssasinationsGreatAgain.

Spoiler: clickbait

Nothing controversial in this post, no ban

if you can't stand a joke dont click this

Spoiler: joke

The staff team is working everyday on the anti-cheat, no anticheat can be perfect, please report players on the website

I've always wondered why sentinel doesn't instaban Bhoppers, it should'nt be that hard to detect players braking minecraft pyshical laws right ? Just getting Bhoppers banned faster would improve the game so much. Overall assassins just needs a rebalance and new stuff, it would probably get me back into minecraft. Btw your stats suck ;)

What game, what server ? Would love to play another assassins-like game.

Btw your stats suck ;)

Lol tbh your right, I never see hackers in Assassins, and I play everyday.

 

[larwa]

Oh my gosh, just when I thought no one was going to post that.
Yeah, I definitely have time to report every person that hacks in Assassins.
wannabe.

Well, Your loss , If you are not going to do it than don't bother posting about it, And do you think someone else is going to do it for you?

 

[remio]

Yes, thank you, I'm a wannabe :)
I never see hackers, like @QuantumFear_ said.
Maybe they are just pro.
If you loose, don't be angry on me.
And, in the shop you'll get hunger.

 

[MarcoPlayzz]

I agree

 

[remio]

I'm raging? Ha.
Why don't you say that to all of the other assassin players out there. See what they reply with.
Assassins is one of the most hack-infested games out there. And I know that for a fact.

Yup, I asked an assasin player.
He said there are almost no hackers.
(BTW there is an anticheat.)

 

[Deleted member 204478]

SO why do you think there is a report site?

Players don't have the time to report 24/7, they play the game to enjoy it. And not to report all the time. That's what the anti cheat/ staff are for.

 

[larwa]

The anti cheat is good, I was watching a guy hacking and the moment he hit someone with kill aura he got banned (Xturtle)
