pvz shooters unplayable (READ)
-announcement by pvz fb discord-
and the banning situation is worse
And we're back with yet another update about the state of the PvZ shooters on PC:
# SERIOUSLY, DO NOT PLAY OR STREAM GW1/GW2/BFN MULTIPLAYER ON PC.
There's either a massive influx of skids right now, or they've managed to automate the process of banning random players and ruining lobbies. Since <t:1771756200:s> today, almost EVERY active lobby in GW2 has been crashed/ruined with some random exploit (such as invisible characters), and random players that were in those lobbies have gotten banned shortly after. GW1 has also been affected by random lobby crashes/player bans, but not to the same degree. If the lobby doesn't get crashed, it effectively becomes "poisoned", meaning that whatever was enabled (such as invisible characters) will stay enabled until that lobby is crashed.
To make it even worse, skids can now also drag you into their private matches, rendering the game nearly unplayable if they decide to target you.
And as a reminder,
# IT IS NOT SAFE TO STREAM ANY OF THE SHOOTERS ON PC IF YOUR USERNAME IS VISIBLE IN ANY WAY.
You WILL be targeted by skids if you try to stream.
