[Please read it] Some Advises about hacker and game futures.
Dear Game Developers,
First of all, I need to thank you for developing this game, I love it so much. I have been spent 56+ hours on Apex!
Recently, Hackers are increasing every day. I'm an Asian player, After 22:00 every day, as the player decreases, the probability of matching to the hacker increases. You even can't solo because it always be really "solo" ! .... Cheat software sellers join in your team, advertising in the chat box, posting a recorded ad in the team voice channel, and when the game started, they cut off the game connection and proceed to the next matching.
So if you are solo, you will always have to face players who are teaming up with friends. 1v3, Always. I am not shroud. How to win this game? I really love this game, too many royale games, i only love this one. I don't want to see another game ruined. (RIP H*Z*) I used to work in a game company and I want to give you some advice.
· Hacker Seller cut off the game connection hundreds of times everyday, but as a normal player, they won't leave game so many times. So we can give each player three to five chances for leaving game, if they exceed the limit, prohibit them from continuing to match for a while (example 6-12 hours) or ban them forever.
· Hacker Seller from China usually use QQ, An online chat tool like skype, developed by Tencent as a sales tool. They usually post a QQ group number, let players join their chat room by number and send them hacker software. So if you can, It's a good idea to contact Tencent to stop more Apex Legend cheat chat room were created. (In China, making game cheats software is illegal, depending on the circumstances, will be sentenced to several years in prison. but the cost of arresting criminals is high.) Another solution is to limit the frequency of chat sending, only the microphone can be specified as an input device. But that will affect the normal player's gaming experience, better not.
· Apex Legend is a free-play game, Most of the time, cheaters have only this game in their Origin account. So they don't care for their Origin account, if banned, they sign up a new one and continue to use the cheat program, It's not working, the total number of cheating players has not decreased. Some hacker use account register program to batch register blank account, so what we need to do is to increase their cost as much as possible. For example, new registered players must spend at least $5 to enter the official server, otherwise they will be in the trial period and match each other. For those who have already played Apex Legend, check their Origin account ages or the number of products they have, to decide whether they can join the official server or not. I know that there will be some opposition to this, but you can't deny its validity. A common approach for Korean game companies is to suggest that players buy a pass to unlock all features and unlock some unique rewards. This is a good idea. If the player really loves the game, it will not stop them for a small price, not to mention also get some useful props.
· One of the reasons that Apex Legend appeals to me is that it doesn't have any daily quests. I can pick any legends, use any weapons, perform any tricks. It's so free, I don't need to look around for a specified weapon to complete that annoying quest and get the reward I want. In other Battle Royale games, I have to go online to complete a specified number of quests every day. I have to play the game in the way prescribed by the screenwriter. I feel uncomfortable, look like I'm still working. So if you want to add the season pass system to the game, please consider other ways to create a daily quest or something.
· About Legend Tokens. Now it has only one way to get it —— level up. I admit, I'm not very good at this game. Short survival time, poor kills, a little exp earned. But I opened so many loots that i have 20000+ crafting metals and about 70 Legendary items(Heirloom too). Those who are good at this game can get the unique color skin in the store, but can't I exchange money for it? I think this is fair enough. They play better so they get that for free, i'm weak, but I can pay for it. I hope you seriously consider it, this is very important to me.
This is all the advice I want to offer, thank you for seeing it here. English is not my native language, sorry about the inconvenience this may cause.
Nerf Shroud,
Your game player
