"Hacking": Small solution or legit play?

They are currently working on an anti-cheat.

Did you read the thread? I stated in the disclaimer that this thread NEVER talked about the anti-cheat.

People can still VPN or change their IP.
Everything is Bypassable. And yes, there will be kids that can do that. Do not underestimate anyone.

At least it works on the kids who don't have access to changing the IP or buying a VPN.

@Jonagamer13: I know Cube can IP check and ban alts if the alts are found to bypass bans. I can't say the same when xTurtle was able to use another alt to hack in egg wars without getting his main banned. His first time hacking after the new punishment system was in PvP duels, according to his videos that is.

Yeah sure, I enjoyed reading it. But for me it is enough with soon the new ' anti-cheat ' system.

That's not even relevant to the topic...

The first genuine idea could work, but i think staff would much rather just answer reports than have to go out of their way to go into your game. As unfortunate that it is that there may be a hacker in your game, just record them and make a report :-D

Sorry to say, but I wish I could dislike comments like these... It's literally the first sentence of the thread. Do you even try?

 

[CommunistCactus]

Just add the option of being able to spectate in FFA gamemodes. It saves so much effort..

I used to record anyone I could and get them banned. But now, it's gotten kinda tedious to get together all the recording stuff and post a video and all that. Now, I kinda just complain about them. There's too many to make the game completely hack-free, which sucks.

I'm hoping that the new anti-cheat will help with your worries :-D

We all want the new anti-cheat, but what about smaller features to accompany it?

This was my opinion on the ideas in this thread :

This was my opinion on the ideas in this thread :

I mean besides just answering reports. Although people claim that reports take minutes for a response, any good server should have something to pair with reports. All of us already know that a manual report system is not going to be as efficient as an automated ban system. I'd see it as this in the long run:

Anticheat paired with a spectator mode (spectator to catch hackers in-game) along with a reports system as usual to catch any of the hackers who were not caught from spectator.

In short, from biggest to smaller impact: anticheat > smaller features such as spectator > report system.

This could give players a little to much free room.

Actual suggestion:
Hate that you want staff in your game to watch out for hackers but the game already started? What if a spectator mode were to be implemented in which players can watch the middle of the game? This way staff can jump into games that have hackers. There's currently no spectator mode and the only way to catch hackers in the middle of the game is to have recording software implemented.

Spectator mode is a feature Mineplex has for its games. Did a game start and you missed the chance to watch? Got a youtuber you want to watch in the game but you missed out? No problem! Spectator mode allows you to join the game and watch what you like in addition to catching hackers!

First part of text:
No, this would give staff members a load of spam of things like "Join my game there is a hacker!!!1!one!" while it's just a hackusation or something

Second part of text: This will allow allot of spam to happen in chats with hundreds of people joining the same game and end up causing allot of lag for others with low-end framerate. If this were a thing for staff only, See my first part of text

Now your bottom line basically says "accept this suggestion or allow hacks"
You might want to re-think that.

"Makes suggestion about spectator mode"
"They're working on an anticheat"
Wot
It's like
"Here guys, I built a map! Do you like it?"
"No, it's against the EULA -1 @Nikoshka pls lock?"

Then that case we can have a maximum number of spectators in the game or if the game has started, have spectators allowed to join only when players die and leave.

I think the 5 people who voted yes like using hacks.

How is this even relevant and why would a hacker be on the forums anyways?

Hackers do use the forums to appeal and ask staff, right?

Appealing doesn't require a forums account and spamming a staff member won't increase their chances at all.

Oops, you're right. I mean the majority appeal, get denied, and then create a forum account in order to ask staff why they remain banned.
