Anti-Cheat Update needed

[BUTTERFIELD8]

Spoiler: Warning-Rant!

So I have not played much cubecraft recently and I come back to play about a 1 & 1/2 hr game to get killed by hackers. My friends recorded him. But I was wondering if there was going to be an update any time soon?

Ideas:
- Look into hack code to find a way to block it.
- Ban McLeaks Accounts
- Update AntiCheat
- Vote Kick
- /report so a staff can come watch or the anti cheat stalks them.

• VoteKick [ /VoteKick ]

Get 70-90% of players to vote with x teams left

• Report [ /report ]

tells a staff member with possible hacker and lets them spectate -- Has anti cheat stalk them

Ideas:
- Look into hack code to find a way to block it.

Hack clients always find ways around the best anticheat, no matter how many times you block hacks, they'll always come back.

- Update AntiCheat

Sentinel the anti-cheat is always updating and recognizing hackers with each report.

- Vote Kick

Imagine convincing everyone in a game to vote kick a player for doing something. I could take all my friends into a game and we all vote kick every other player. Even if a hacker was in the game, only the people he killed would recognize the hacker, not the whole game. People could be unsure about whether they really hacker or not.

- /report so a staff can come watch or the anti cheat stalks them.

I want a staff to monitor my game so I feel special!
Also, could be a waste of a staff members time if they are no hackers or someone wants attention from staff. They are way more hackers than staff.

Overall, the anticheat is always getting better and less hackers will be seen online in cubecraft. If you do see any who aren't getting banned by the anticheat, report them at https://reports.cubecraft.net.

Okay, to start. They can't just look into the code and find a way to stop hacking. It just doesn't work like that or it would be done by now. They had /report once upon a time but they get filled with so much spam it makes it more harmful than good, plus staff can't join a game that has already started. I don't compleatly understand what you are saying about /votekick so I have no comment. And lastly the anti-cheat they currently has is constantly updating. It is a self learning program so the more it bans the better is will get.

By vote-kick he means the option in tower defense. If enough players do "/votekick TriangleAttack" he will be kicked from the game.

So by that logic, why do anything that needs upkeep? Don't be afraid of people working harder to thwart hackers, or be cynical about hacks.

Than elevate certain players to in-game reporter status, and choose those who have already proven themselves worthy to be /report users, because they have at least one confirmed successful report.

Actually, the best over-all counter measure against hacks is VIGILANCE!

Honestly, maybe some staff are serious about hackers, and want to ban them, but I am sure there are others, like you, who don't seem to get that there is a serious hacker problem, or maybe some people just don't care.

I know that there is a hacking and rule breaking problem. But it's always gonna be there, every server will get them. People just don't follow the rules and do it for fun. We can minimize the threat as much as possible without spamming staff members to come into games (which they can't) to watch some suspected hacker and waste their time.

I applaud you speaking out and acknowledging the reality on the server.

What are you trying to say with this comment? Shouldn't than every server be trying to do something about hackers? I don't follow you.

==========

Generalizing much? Speak for yourself. I have plenty fun, even more eliminating in-game hackers, egg wars bows give you the best shot at that since the bow's range gives you a fighting chance to kill hackers.

==========

Perhaps, but would you cheat on a server that has hacker police? I don't think so. Maybe staff could spectate, because us reporters need all the help we can get, and I doubt staff reports would be denied as much as normal players' reports.

pls stop with the bs. Its pretty clear to us all that Sentinel sucks and he was not asking for directions to the report site

- Ban McLeaks Accounts

Pretty much already happened.

- Vote Kick

Abuse

- /report so a staff can come watch or the anti cheat stalks them.

Spam + checking reports is more time efficient

tells a staff member with possible hacker and lets them spectate -- Has anti cheat stalk them

Sentinel is already watching everyone so it's already "stalking" them.

"criminals will always find ways around the best police, no matter how many cops there are around, they'll always commit crimes"
See the flaw in your statement?

 

[LeCastel]

These threads are amazing. Shows the horrible community Cubecraft has.

"Look someone says something negative. SHIELD UP, DEFEND CUBECRAFT WITH YOUR LIFE!!". Kids have to learn that negative feedback is still feedback and without it nothing would ever see improvement.

"I wanna become helper so lets defend cubecraft in every single thread with only the least bit of criticism on cubecraft while always posting the links to the reports site when someone mentions reports or hackers no matter in what context"

No, I do not. There will always be people who break the rules. Criminals in real life and cheaters in game have been there for a while (One more than the other). You can lock them out or ban them, but more will always come.

There is no need to be rude. Sentinel does make tons of mistakes but they are happening less often. Every anticheat will have flaws.
He also never mentioned the report site, I know. But that doesn't mean he already knows about it. Therefore I mentioned it.

/report was abused so they took it down. Also you can't just block hacking clients by looking at the code (Due to the fact that they keep updating there client and new code it made so... it would be hard to keep up with the updates.)

 

[BUTTERFIELD8]

Sry for late response but a /suspect or something like will tell a staff member that someone may be hacking and it would also have the anti cheat look into them a bit more. (Like Watchdog)
.

 

[Flaxic]

Can you please explain what they can do with the anti-cheat update and what they could do better?

Those kinds of commands are gonna get abused, A LOT.
/report was a thing back in the day, and that got abused a whole ton.
/VoteKick would be abused a ton too.
Sorry, but -1.

The only reason Hypixel has this is because their cheatdetector can detect cheats by itself. That's why when you report a hacker he can already be banned in the game itself. Doubt Cubecraft has that.
