Emerald the game has been broken for the last week or so now. There are rampant hackers.cheater. And no im not talking about lag randomly die as you move behind a wall cry that the guy killed you through a wall. I am talking about CLEAR cheating.. Last night till like 4am.. so for like 7 hours, this guy named DRS33RDR i believe it was. I reported him twice. He was glitching inside mountain walls, and on the bottom of the map floor. He was shooting the mana anti vehicle turrent like a machine gun, and wiped our 15 man squads 3 bases linked together in 5 minutes. The map locked 20 min later, and then on esamir.. same thing, he was glitching under the ground in a PROWLER shooting VS and NC, destroying everyones player bases... My squad got liberators and parking on the ground using the cannor to glitch down to shoot his poweler, but he had like super speed and was zooming all over... when he started shooting us, we flew away but his cannons were like heat seeking missles.. it was insaine. In fact VS/NC all noticed this and talked in Yell for hours about him and a couple others doing this. They were all on TR as well, which is interesting because TR latetly has been winning every single continent just about.. please fix this !!
*Cheaters doing their thing to ruin peoples fun and attention* *Everyone gives cheaters the immense pleasure of voicing their hurt feelings and loss of fun with heaps and heaps of attention* Be smarter and they leave 10 times faster, the cheater above would probably barely last an hour without the entire server continuously egging them on and giving them the recognition that what they are doing is 'working'. That said its pretty standard that the cheaters comes out like this during evens and the devs should have learned this several years ago and be ready for it, sadly not. PS2 community has even had some good ideas for self-management with some people given some power with the report function to use against these very blatant cheaters, for example these semi-moderators could temp ban people with just a few of them reporting someone but the report also needing a youtube link or something with fake reports and bans being heavily punished. Few people would throw their multi-year accounts away or get a long timeout to false report someone for like a 1-2 day temp ban + would require more than one to do it(temp ban to allow the devs to view the video and decide on permanent or not). Thats just one of the decent ideas I have seen that would not be perfect but at least a big improvement over what we have now which is a near 0 response to cheaters but until we get something more responsive than sending reports and emails, the best way to deal with them is to ignore them. Cheaters are like 5 year olds, if they are bothering you they want attention and if you give them attention they will keep doing it.
yeah he had a base at Lowland and was dropping a router under the ground in Quartz, several of us tried to destroy it but it was clipped just enough under the ground to where people would use it but it was immune to damage
I tend to err on the side of players not cheating when something odd appears to have happened. That guy has a bad connection, or you got shot at a high deflection angle from a well hidden opponent not through a wall. Yesterday I lodged my first cheater report email in this game after several years of play. Server was Emerald, early evening US EST, level 13 TR max that was hovering through spawn room walls, killing multiple persons in spawn room, then poof gone, a few seconds later he is back again, rinse and repeat. I logged off afterwards. I do not play with or suffer cheats. It lowers the thrill of PS2 if the level playing field is artificially disrupted.
