The game is hacked and hacked hard. With 2.5m concurrent players, the law of avgs says there are at least 250k hackers. I'd say its higher. It's definitely worse every day. Which can be expected, kind of the PC gaming status quo.
The game being so popular will cause more hacks to be created, because there is a market for it. This game, just like all the others before it, will lose a massive chunk of the legit player base in the next month, before it dies down some. If it's not dealt with more quickly and aggressively than PUBG or H1. Then this game will go the same route.
The question is why?( Not why the hacking, egos are egos.) But why allow cheaters to crush a huge portion of your population? That's big big money going out the window. It's not the same as PUBG, where Bloehole actually made money on each hackers ban/rebuying of new accounts. So why wouldn't Respawn/EA be more aggressive with stopping this immediately.. before it costs them millions of $$ in potential profit?
Receipt for fail : client sided shot calculation ( and not server sided ) + F2P game + Battle Royal. Why?
- cheap developers or publisher. It's harder and resources consuming to make server sided games ( at least the part that calculates movement, aiming, and hit registrations )
- it's f2p and everyone will cheat at some point because they can start over once they are banned. You can create Origin accounts, as many as you please and get the game for free.
- it's BR so you are not loosing any progression if banned ( unlike a mmorpg or Battlefield or CoD or Division, Destiny ). Those who cheat don't give a sXXit about skins or level. They are doing it for various reasons such:
1. frustrated ppl who can't admit others are far better than them. I could go deeper into this but there are psychiatrists articles for that. 🙂
2. ppl promoting their own cheats
3. groups payed to cheat only too add a bad feedback, name,reputation to a certain game.
But it's EA and it's about gambling after all. This time you are gambling your odds and hope to play some games with no cheaters. And pay with the most valuable commodity in the world, your TIME 🙂
""The question is why?( Not why the hacking, egos are egos.) But why allow cheaters to crush a huge portion of your population?"
Your question assumes that hacking is easy to prevent or dealt with, when it obviously is not, else there wouldn't be tons of hackers in every online game.
Your statement assumes any of these companies are doing 'enough' to combat it. They aren't. Do any of them hardware ban? Barely any. Spoofing IDs or not.. Heavier counter measures and punishments, even threatened, will help deter much more of it.
Its so easy to ban hackers. they just want the large numbers to make it look like the game is the next best thing to sex.
Numbers dont lie .!!!!!!!!! just have to look at their stats and see. 100 shots fired 100 headshots ???? simple huh? (just an example)
from the hacks i keep seeing everyone is using aimbots and walls . Its very funny how they never miss and the second u fire a shot 3 squads magically appear to wipe u out.
Happens way to often!!!!
If i had a dollar for everytime my squad got triple teamed I wouldnt have to work just like all those hard working streamers !
I just witnessed a cheater. I was dead and was able to see from his point of view (he was my teamate). He was looking at the sky and made crazy instant headshots to everyone around him without seeing them coming, so there is no any doubt.
The other mate, dead too, recorded it.
Even if it's not that easy to prevent or deal with cheaters, a functionnal report button is a strict minimum. And maybe they should spend more money on anticheat systems than on marketing.
well said cheaters are in full control of this game now
"With 2.5m concurrent players, the law of avgs says there are at least 250k hackers. I'd say its higher. It's definitely worse every day. "
There are games that 1 out of 3 players hack (games with no anticheats)
and there are games that 1/10 players hack or 1/20 players hack (at BEST).
Because apex is a new game and there are a lot of new players still playing, it is too early to be in the category of the 1/10 players hack. For now things look a lot better. Maybe its like 1 hacker in every match. (at least in the aus servers that I play) ....still bad tho.
Almost every game on pc there will be a cheater and it dont look like they can do anything about it, cheats have already destoyed it theyt own it with no signs of it stopping any time soon sick of it
On Xbox:
