PvZ Garden Warfare 2 Hackers spotted!
Heya All! Kellinaattori here, if you have spoted me on European servers!
I know that Im not the onlyone who has started to spot hackers more often in the game. Could EA do something about this? I...
Forum Discussion
i was on the same game as you, and same server, he the cheater was using earlier the Treasure Yeti as well, but for some weird thing he was very little, and cannot do damage to both sides.. i have tons of pictures as well.. but now you'd face the truth, naming is against the rules (even for cheaters!) which i find it a bit nonsense, so, your post gonna be re-edited and pics deleted as well.. happen to me week ago, when similar cheater wasn't banned even that i reported him or her, within the link given, and after two weeks the same cheater (not this one on your pic) re-appeared, i reported that cheater second time, which i still can't say is banned, but so far haven't appeared that one. But today this one popped out of nowhere, so we shall report him, as this forum is usually not being watched by some devs of the game, just some moderators and volunteers
I've spotted a different one (different name, but I guess they change their name all the time, so that the naming doesn't make sense). Yesterday during the mystery portal event, also on the European server. He played a plant but looked like a zombie. It was obvious when he (I just say "he", but it can also be she or it) played some sort of hovergoat, smaller than the usual with a different look, and used goat's ability to "help" teammates (don't know the English name for it; it's the one when the arrows show and the target is faster etc.). Thus people saw that something was amiss. But mostly he/she posed as normal soldier or scientist, whilst being on the plant team. Most plants were busy trying to shoot him, and he just liked the confusion. Only once he had a small amount of vanquishes (the team lost anyway), but that's maybe because people would have known too fast what's going on. - What confused me about this special player yesterday: He even has a rank of 9, so he's obviously been around for some time. 🤒
I really wonder how such a thing is possible. Fortunately he didn't stay long in our mystery portal team, or maybe was kicked out because of his re-spawning ever so often. But he did cause a lot of confusion. 👿
I think in GG rounds it's more annoying, because long games can be completely ruined. Or if he would be part of a boss hunt in the mystery portal.
your case sounds like is the cheater that within a month i reported it twice so far.. i hope the player name haven't a girl name tag? something like ''Auntie'' i can't say the full name, since isn't allowed. Anyway this cheater which appeared last night was even max rank 54-55, but that doesn't mean nothing, as they use cheats which have example: 3664.999 xp multiplier, while we can have max 2.00. And yes cheaters are ruining every game, i was long player of Need For Speed World, when cheaters ruined the game and EA did absolutely nothing about it, i'm afraid the same fate is going to happen to pvz gw2, if they don't care about cheaters
Yes, @AceB011 @, it was a name with auntie. Not so nice, this auntie. - I never heard about the XP multiplier. That's really evil. 😮
i am losing faith on origin. there are many cheaters now or may be few cheaters are changing names. I'ts happening everyday. i've videos recorded and going to post on youtube if origin won't reply me. This isn't acceptable and who knows some dev are involved in this. It happened in another game btw.
- Dude * tell that ea have bad anti cheat!

Hi, thank you for posts, i know dealing with these situations is frustrating and I hope it'll continually improve. If and when there's any substantial update or milestone we'll let you know.
For the "name and shame" rule, in brief we don't allow it because this is the wrong place to report it, and such threads can lead to some really nasty behaviour.
If you see suspect (or blatant) behaviour, you can report them using the steps on this page: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/
You guys probably saw it already, but the Live Producer has commented on the invalid character issue here: https://twitter.com/slaker/status/1123744372577665024
One needs to stop and think about why the "name and shame" rule exists. Say xXNOOBinatorXx really hates I_KILL_YOU_LOTS. So he comes here and make a post telling about how horrible he is and how he cheats in various ways, Not only is this total hearsay, but the accused really has no way to rebut the accusation should they try. It's just a recipe for toxic behavior. And I suspect allowing such posts might open up EA to legal problems.
I have been allowing attachments with video proof to stand as long as the accused is not named in text in the post. But please realize that posting on here is preaching to the choir. Popcap is not here reading these posts. A popcap employee is being flagged to read such posts on the reddit sub however, so that is what I am suggesting.
