Blatant hackers ruining the game and nothing being done

    Does the report feature even work? It is getting out of hand seeing obvious, blatant hackers, such as a player named literally, "HackerRay - Emerald" the reason I made this post, his entire outfit are hackers and it was beyond blatant that even the VS on his own team were calling it out.

    Now I get what everyone IMMEDIATELY assumes is that "Get good" or we're just bad, which is honestly just ignorant. And the reason I decided to actually post about this is because not only was he clearly aim scripting, headshotting 3+ people in a row as they were all shooting him, but what exposed it CLEAR AS DAY to me was him using his jump jets without cooldown.

    Another player named BrackieNSE on NSO faction does this all the time. Ambusher jump jets have a cooldown. Yet he will use it, and then land, and immediately Ambush jump into the air again. Not a few seconds later, but immediately.

    With all the talks and rumors going on about the game being possibly shut down, server merges, like is there even a point to play anymore and spend money on it? These people aren't just "Good" players, it is obvious that they are hacking, and nothing is being done.

    None of those players are cheating.

    There is another similar exploit that I've noticed.
    It appears that the GSD on things like harassers, which is supposed to be 15sec, is being run infinitely.
    This, of course, negates collision damage, and turns them into high speed bulldozers.

    I mean I've seen that glitch a few times but even originally the concept of giving these things the ability to plow tanks for 15s with a 30s cooldown just sounds busted af. Should've never been made a thing in the first place. And even the harasser balancing overall has always been really awful. Things been busted since day 1.

    Then you are literally those players just trying to safe face. Stop trolling or get off the forums

    They're not, and this is gonna blow your mind out your rear but they're not even the best players the game had, most the skilled players left a long time ago.

    You could share your fisu and also a few videos of them "cheating". Though I think we all have a solid idea of what kind of player you are.

    Technically the only one that broke tos so far since those guys are completely legit, is you by directly posting names on the forum accusing those guys and our outfit as cheating. Very funny but if you actually think that you might need to check yourself.

    Funny because there was an actual hacker on emerald yesterday, and the same guys been terrorizing the servers for a while now. Though obviously he gets banned in like a day, since the games free it's not hard to make a new account and start over. Apart from that though your chances of encountering a cheater are really low, and I would consider watching some tutorials on how to play before accusing the few decent players left on the server of cheating lol.

    There is a bug with ambusher jets where it will sometimes allow you to jump twice, there's also impulse nades, aerial combatant, flight suit, etc to make las annoying af to deal with, and I can agree that given the game engine deal poorly with acceleration, a lot of those things shouldn't exist. It'd say that's more of an issue with the game devs than the players, just like you can blame people for crutching on infil, but it's ultimately the devs fault for breaking the class and keeping it in such a busted state for so long.

    IDK, the HackerRay player has 50% HSR on Orion and Betelgeuse ... Looks kinda sketch to me.

    Nope, just good enough to know ******** when I see it. Either put some evidence on YouTube or accept your mediocrity.

    as much as i would like to say they hack (trying to fight him is beyond blood boiling for me)
    they're most likely just really good, and its highly possible to get such a high HSR with the orion and its aurax counter part cus the bloom and recoil is near nonexistant.
    its less a hacker issue and more a weapon balance+ high skill issue ngl.

    Tell me you have barely used the Orion or betel without telling me.

    from a TR main standpoint, any time i play my other faction accounts the lack of recoil on your weapons boost my kd by a ton. havent used the betel, but the orion has roughly the same dmg output of the T1S, and yet the recoil is (or at least feels) considerably better
  14. JustGotSuspended

    Yes but you're not very good and have no idea of what's possible and not.

    He has 34% accuracy. The hsr just means he really focuses on the head and basically doesn't get the kill otherwise. Like a sniper. Played with and against him, dude dies just fine.


    MSWR is literally a better version of the betel/orion. Galilei is basically a laserbeam orion. I don't hear anyone complaining about those. And keep in mind the betel's a worse orion.

    Most of the weapons are just copy pastes anyway, the betel hate is just pure cope.

    Again, tell me you've never used the orion or betel without telling me.

    litterally every non tr player complains about the mswr (fairly, its a powerful weapon) and yet each and every one of them says no one complains about it, which i find a tad humorous..

    personally i prefer the t9 over it, but thats besided the point, on paper the mswr is generally a straight upgrade to it
    speaking of on paper stats, the orion has the same dmg and fire rate of the mswr the difference between it is that the orion has a harder vertical recoil, and the mswr has a harder horizontal recoil.

    horizontal recoil is much harder to atone for, they attempt to rebalance this by giving the mswr a slight biase towards the right, but quite frankly its not enough to improve the handling. on paper, they are roughly equal, in practice, the mswr feels noticeably worse, especially past 15 meters.

    the betel vs the butcher, again, don't have it, so cant say much on how they work in practice vs on paper.
    the same goes for most nso weapons.

    make an actual counter argument. otherwise, you contribute nothing.

    The MSWR is a great alternative to the orion if you want a 750rpm LMG with a bit less recoil. However. Even the t9 carv is easy to use. I've been getting 35-40% headshot rate with on my pan10 character.

    I'm contributing plenty by pointing out that you have no idea what you're talking about.

    A common theme with people who complain about the betel/orion is that they've barely/haven't used it at all.

    not really. Most weapons in this game are extremely accurate. Horizontal recoil is harder to account for, but this is also why there's horizontal tolerance. Most weps won't kick more than 2 shots in one direction, and that balances it out. I've never heard a skilled player complain about recoil or whatever regarding 99% of the weapons in the game. They're all extremely accurate and easy to handle, save for a meme or 2.

    Not sure what you're talking about, the mswr is a laserbeam. It's extremely easy to get targets at longer ranges with, even though you should be using most automatics past cqc, especially with wrels nerfs to automatics and buffs to everything else.

    Also you're complaining about it yet you don't have the butcher or the betel, huh??? Those aren't particularly hard to get, if you can't bother spending a week to get them I'm not sure what you're commenting on them for, and I'm not sure you're the kind of player who I would trust with forming valid opinions on the gunplay if we're being honest.
