Game is not fun anymore.

Ok, smart guy, I've only encountered two dudes that were aim botting and one group of speed hackers that negatively impacted my level of enjoyment in the game. ******* troll.

You didn't tell us what you searched for. It would be sickening if [planetside 2] gave that result, but not if [planetside 2 hacks] gave that result. That would be expected.

Is that really something to be upset about, though? I mean, it's wrong and should be dealt with, definitely. But if you can't tell the difference between a person using subtle hacks to give them the edge and a person who is just really good at the game, is it really hurting your game experience?

I don't give that situation much thought. Those people ruin the game for me as much as a really good player ruins the game for me. I'm not suggesting that they be left alone, but the most egregious use of hacks definitely need to take priority, for obvious reasons.

You will notice hackers when your entire Outfit Platoon is currently attempting to capture points in several Hexes and the cheater is flitting between your groups and killing you to keep you off the points. Or when your Outfit members are busily spawning at a Sunderer and in the process of capping a Hex when the TR cheater cruises in, kills everyone on the point and then hovers over the Sundy killing anyone who spawns/starts repairing/starts defending said Sundy while waiting for NC with C4 to come and blow up your spawn point. Or when your desperately trying to defend the Stronghold and stop it from flipping into NC hands while a cheater is the only one on point, killing dozens of you as you try to reach it.

The hackers you don't notice are the lame cheaters who just get the hacks to bump their score or mess around. The problem we're starting to notice on Miller is that the cheaters are hacking in favour of their faction and deliberately preventing out faction from accomplishing objectives. I defy you not to notice the cheaters that are actually in it to prevent you from having a good time - period.

i dont even care abotu hackers at this point. my primary reason for not wanting to play is the absolutely horrific framerate problems the last update brought on.

sure before the update i was getting 30ish FPS in large fights, but i never had sudden fps drops and stuttering. it was a relatively smooth palying experience. now, i cant even LOOK in the general direction of even the smallest of fights without losing all performance

I am appauled that ther is an entire ******* website dedicated to it. Its not a torrent or soemthing obscure its a friggin quaintly designed website with everything you need to be a ******* ****** canoe in this game.

Its not that hard. I have been tempted just to make another account and hack my *** off just to see how long it takes the mods to do something about it. One of my friends did it and it took over a month, that alone speaks volumes for SoE's envolvment in removing hackers. You can't call them out on the forums or you will get banned because SoE has some dumb *** No Public Shame policy on the forums because they dont want that person to be grienfed. When infact that person is just the one doing the griefing and deserves to be griefed publicly or in game. If I ran this site it would have a thread for exposing hackers. You must provide evidence (i.e. video) if you don't your complaint is ignored. If your conplaint is legitement then they get banned. And you move on. If your complaint is untrue or false YOU get the ban for being a dick and trying to get an innocent person banned. That right there would keep people honest about who they report.

OK, seriously... Are you new to gaming, the Internet, or what? You act like PlanetSide 2 is the only game in existence that has this.

Edit: And the word is spelled "appalled".

^Lol'd at this guy who called out and defended his own poor grammar when the guy who quoted him didn't even say anything about it.

Actually, in his defense, I did comment about his misspelling of "appalled", thought better of it, and removed it. Not before he saw it, though, apparently. I've put that part of my post back in since he's already responded to it.

Although I will point out that it was a correction to his spelling, not his grammar.

Stay in school, kids.

You don't know what SOE is doing, they don't tell you directly or any of us for that matter. You are only assuming that they are not doing a thing. One thing I learned about assuming is that you are usually wrong, as far as hackers are concerned I've seen 1 since release and he was shooting though the floor. I amaze myself at things I pull off in this game that the other person like you probably thinks I cheat.

there is a nightly occurrence of at least one person using terrain hack/exploits being inside walls, or under the ground shooting up, I guess we are just unlucky on Connery.

I suggest you calm the hell down. You've engaged in numerous violations of the forum guidelines that would get your posts removed and you possibly banned if anyone saw fit to report you.

Yeah, that was the high point of the thread so far. But I am holding out some hope that he's just joking before I facepalm. Afterall the whole thread is absurd: There isn't close to as much cheating as he says and of course SOE are acting where they reasonably can.

Hardly encounter hackers. What I do encounter are a ton...I mean a ton of Lock Ons which IMO is probably worse than hackers.

I just want to be clear about this:

There are plenty of things to criticize Suriakk about, but this shouldn't be one of them. Sorry for the confusion.

all these people saying "I've never seen a hacker" piss me off bad.

Look people, you've never seen a hacker? That's cause you wouldn't recognise one if it smacked you in the head with a rocket.

We're not talking about hackers doing obvious "flying around in invincible mode one shotting everyone" type of hacker. That's the kind of hacker people mean when they say they've not seen one. You get them but they are rare.

I totally sympathise with the OP because after a few hundred hours of gaming you get to recognise hackers that aren'"t flying around with a huge "i'm hacking" sign on their head.....


edit : and there's a hell of a lot more hacking going on than most people care to admit.

Said it from day 1 free2play = pay2hack instead.

Free2play works better for the mmorpg NOT the mmofps.

I don't know. If they're blatant, they get reported, and (in my experience, anyway) are rarely a problem for long.

If they're not blatant, well, I assume a skilled player first. It keeps me from seeing hackers in every player that has the fortune to send me to the spawn tubes.

I think a dose of this attitude would be well received by many on this forum, actually.

You make a bold assumption in saying people can't recognize a hack. Actually, an aimbotter is VERY easy to spot. The ONE I've seen was obviously "snapping to" targets, even at extreme range. I doesn't take an eagle-eye to spot that kind of behavior.

Please don't assume you know something the rest of us don't.

it's not me vs "the rest of you" nublet, what are you the embassador for human ackowledgement that there is no hacking in this game?

lol

When you start off addressing your post at "all of these people who say they've never seen a hacker" in a thread where I stated that I've only seen one to date, then it is fair for me to reply to that.

And I nor anyone else said "there is no hacking in this game", I implied there aren't as many as these panicked post make it out to be.

And then I simply pointed out that make wide sweeping assumptions and generalizations about those of us who aren't screaming "the sky is falling!"
