Bosses and other characters in PVZ GW2 Multiplayer Lobby???? - Ruining games

It's starting to get on my nerves but everyday when I play Turf, there's always 1 person who is playing as some type of non class plant/zombie, First I ran into Sensei thinking ok... then the next day BaronVBats... whats going on? Day after day the same crap ruins the games. I get one shot by the most random thing that shouldn't be in public lobbies. I'm writing this after i got 1 shot by a goat AS PLANTS. I got transformed from peashooter to goat and 1 shot with the gnome sound. I'm sorry if I'm ranting but I just wanna play the game with friends and have a good time but this crap ruins the games. Anyone know of this?

Thanks

  • I'm guessing you're on PC like I am. Hackers have been a thing unfortunately and while EA recently brought up reporting hackers again, their track record hasn't been great. I still recommend reporting them, especially if you can get a screenshot of them playing bosses or other illegal characters. 

    This is far too common a problem, especially for a 5 year old game. But as I've said before, we can still buy the game, play the game, and buy coins/upgrades for it, so a minimum expectation of dealing with hackers and other problem players is to be met, and it's currently not doing so.

    @Xaadriano wait you haven't seen the worse, there's cheaters that kill you instantly, zombie character playing on the plants side and vice versa, then bosses which you can't kill them, nor do damage to them, but they do one-shoot kill no matter if your energy is full or no. Only solution is to use the report option, even spamming it, does have results not instantly but there is, i had seen some results from the reports i did, some names aren't appeared longer than two weeks now, which means they're banned.. but then a fresh ''new'' name player even rank 01 would appear and do the same cheat, still don't know how the cheat system works, seems like they can return after some time and start it from begin
  • I was playing with my friend, we were just walking to next area. I got hit by 1 Soldier pellet and died. I was perma frozen one time and the list goes on. Gotta love people like this 

  • I've  posted about the hacking many times as  many others have , especially @Iron_Guard8 ( thank you).  This is nothing new either. I remember seeing a Zack Scott video that had a dino cat in TT  long before GWII was discontinued.  And as @Iron_Guard8 has said and I have said: EA is continuing to sell a broken and  incomplete game.  I registered a formal complaint with my state's Attorney General / Consumer Affairs but obviously games are not high on their priority list.

    I report hackers every time I encounter one but it's difficult to see if anything is being done. But I think everyone who encounters a hacker should report it and post it in the forums so there's a record.

    Attached is a recent one. This morning I was on an EU server and there was a Yeti in the game. It was harmless, but still. I hardly ever see hackers in GWI and BFN. Why is GW2 so difficult to control?

    I can't link Reddit here but apparently they've banned at least 6 of the big cheaters that people have been reporting for some time. This is great news to be sure and I'll keep reporting these people when I can and encourage everyone to do the same. 


    This game is so much fun when people don't ruin it with this kind of stuff, and I especially don't want new players turned away by hackers.
