Multiplayer hackers spotted! Beware!
A friend of mine has encountered a hacker lobby!
Those guys somehow hacked the damage dealt to enemies in, like, 15 times and are hard-farming gold on Perilous difficulty level.

funny how this shows up a week or 2 after people claim to get past the denuvo. it seems denuvo protects us from multiplayer hacks maybe? I was actually hoping that it would make it much more difficult or at least delayed before cheaters start their stuff up. I'm wondering how well it could be applied to multiplayer only games possible, if that would be doable for future mmo's or games like cod where there are sometimes aimbots galore. I find it timely hearing about this kind of thing now, though I haven't really come to these threads until lately so maybe there were cheaters before recently. You get gold farmed up easily enough anyways, easily a big chest or 2 in a night so i don't see the need for people to do that kind of thing. it'll make it entirely about the most efficient grind for them, which will wear the mode out quickly for them and they won't be using most of that loot once they lose interest. maybe they're farming stuff to breakdown for mats to unlock other classes, but either way i can see them losing interest before they make much use of those other classes playing the way they are. thinking about it a little, damage must be local. that's what happened when defiance came out and people were running crazy shotgun damage and crazy damage during arkfalls, though the arkfalls some people didn't mind ha ha. it was still pretty whack though.
cheaters will always find their way around the 'code', and its not just about how hard developers make it for cheats to work, but for the way they respond to it, many developers ban cheaters right away, some temporaly and some permanently

I'm new to Origin , so I'm not sure how they handle it here. but on steam , rather than lose their whole account, they're banned from the specific games' multiplayer functions and I believe the engine used or the chains of games. like in one cod, then maybe also in the next ones. or on source engine, from other source engine games. that's just what someone told me though. I'm assuming those guys may have at least a DAI online ban coming, and if they're real unlucky possibly keep use will be affected by it worst case.
They may be on a stolen account, I can't imagine people risking their own accounts with blatant hacks. ingame exploits, that are parts of the game without the use of any tools to exploit them, I can see that. that would be part of a game and would eventually be patched. that's been consistent with games, and when it's patched people stop or look for a new exploit. use of tools or modding game files though is a crummy thing to do and it's more than fair to cut multiplayer access to games when people hack into the game or change it's files so they can cheat. They must have altered a file or files related to the damage their characters or certain weapons do in multiplayer or to the stats of the characters or items. Since the damage is probably local to maintain smoother online play.
Account theft or sharing should be looked into. since some people will cheat on stolen accounts rather than their own since they don't care if stolen ones get bans.
