Speaking of, I have brought up ZackScottGames multiple times to Nick and the rest of the team. Since he has done so much with the series, I wanted to see if getting his videos more involved would be possible.
This is beyond anything I have control over so if it happens I won't know right off the bat, but he has been mentioned a few times due to all those videos!
I watch a lot of his videos on Super Mario Bros. since we play a lot of these games on Switch too. They are great videos!
- VariableCell2 years agoNew VanguardHave you guys heard? GW2 is getting some new kind of anti cheat. Saw it on the floral federation dc and Fujj just posted about it on YT, and I would assume that this is a big step forward for the franchise. So there will be no cheaters and hackers from march 2024 if I heard it right. Cheers

Hey All,
So yes, GW2 is getting an Anti Cheat added to the game as per Braddock's amazing post Here!
I meant to update the threads with it. I'm super excited to see this help with all the ban issues happening on PC.

@EA_ShepardThis is absolutely amazing news! It is just great to see the hacking and cheater issues on PvZ GW2 PC solved and finally fixed! The next important step to do now is to change the Mystery Portal rotation to include Boss Hunt, Cats vs. Dinos, and Community Challenges to let us players obtain the last remaining unobtainable achievements in this game! #bringbackbosshunt

@EA_Shepard How will the new anti cheat affect client side only mods? Or mods that don't affect multiplayer? Also will it be coming to the other PvZ shooters in any capacity?

Hi @DeadEggplant, so we technically dont support mods because those mods are not officially made by the publishers of the games. If anti cheat picks up mods and bans the account, that player still has to go through TOS. That one is a bit out of our hands because we don't support them.
As for future games, it has been brought up of course because of Neighborville and other platforms but no official word if or when it will be introduced into other games within the series. - KillahNinja12 years agoSeasoned Newcomer
Hey @EA_Shepard!, long time reader first time reply-er, if there is hope for another update, no matter the size, please put in a word to increase the size of private play lobbies, me and my friends play all of the time, but we have to exclude people because the lobby is already full.
Cheers!

@EA_Shepard Thank you for the clarification, although I don't play on PC I'm sure those players are glad to finally be able to play the gamevas intended. But for other platforms modding isn't really the issue, more glitch abusing such as going under the map on gw1 and gw2. Can't wait for more news though.

The Anticheat update appears to be a big step in the right direction for maintenance of the game. I realise it is only for PC version of the game but this should effectively deal with many of the issues PC players are having. Hope this means more good stuff will come to the shooter games as well!

@EA_Shepard Will the anticheat immediately ban you when you load into the backyard? Or will it activate when you try loading into multiplayer?
