some postive news on this glad to see that its been taking note of and that there working to counter it
great video again very informative as always keep up the great content
cheaters are still there just had 4. new sub to your channel ,keep up with the good stuff
The in game report system has always felt hollow. Not only from reporting potential cheaters and getting no feedback, but the other side what's the point to "Giving Props" to somebody? Imagine if they gave even a TINY BP bonus (like 100BP) for giving a thumbs up.
There is no win here. There's nothing here that indicates more dedication or progress, just what amounts to platitudes from a dev standpoint. Promises of improvement are not the same as improvement, as anyone who's gone through an abusive relationship can attest. BHVR's kept things vague not just to "not give ammunition to the opposition" but also so they can walk back any hyped action that doesn't live up to creator speculation; "we didn't actually promise that" is gonna be a good paraphrase from NotQueen coming up.
So hear me out:
So reporting should be majority prioritized to Cheating, threats, exploitations, and Specific types of trolling like holding game hostage working with killer etc.
But for the people who waist those reports on tunneling, camping, slugging, etc. Should get a separate report button for those specific things, but the catch is. It will do absolutely nothing and will filterthem automatically from the real important reports.
haha you have to be joking…they are as clueless and helpless as before xD How?
Well BHVR knew FOR YEARS that cheaters is an issue and their vague statement of "we dont disclose what we do against cheaters to prevent them from cheating" didnt do much did it? Cheaters shat on their "changes" didnt they?
why do you think that was, hell still is and likely will be?
Cause their "anti-cheat" is deeply rooted in their game, they cant just "upgrade" it or even better-change it, cause if they do, well look at the kajillion bugs that happen just when they attempt to "update" the game due to their redicilous sphagetti code that would even make a black hole blush…
And cheaters stated themselves that it is complete joke, and unless they drastically switch or update (which remember they cant without remaking the game) they`re here to stay.
What might be nice as a added on feature is what Halo does; you can go back and look at the games you played, it saves your last handful of games in the cloud for a while, and as you play new games the old ones get replaced. That could help players double check their games and allow them to report hackers or cheaters. I acknowledge however that this could be abused, I'm sure, in some way. But for the most part, I believe it can be helpful.
I wish they would of done this earlier especially since I'm not going to want to play after the new update with the basekit and mori changes
As long as it's not blocking people who get false reported
I play on switch so when I report a cheater I can't give details. Only 50k this year in a small number when the game has had cheatingin it sence the 1st year dbd came out and dbd is what 6 years ago soooo their saying dbd has only band 200k cheater in 5 or 6 sniff sniff i smell bull crap that may be just me but what do u guys think?
I think the way CoD handles cheaters is awesome … just don’t ban them, put them in a lobby all together so cheater will have their own cheater matchmaking so they can compete who is cheating best xD
I nearly stood up and applauded. 😂 I'm wondering if their tech team could purchase the cheats from the creators and then create anti-cheats from them like creating a vaccine for venom. I know it would cost money, but it would save them by not losing the most influential DbD players who have voiced their annoyances and concerns.
Hi Aaron! It was really fun running into you again today! (You were Ada against Artist and I was Feng ❤) GGS, friend! You were a great teammate. Till next time! 🥰💕
PS: That pallet should have stunned. I was robbed.
I'm excited about this, it's going to make game play a lot smoother over all I hope. I'm always for dedicated servers for validation and that should take care of some of the worst exploits that can be used when it's on the PC directly by removing the ability for 3rd party software to impact game play action validation.
They should do to all cheaters, what they did to ochido and hardware ban so they can never play again
Currently in a game as a ghostface end game collapse has been over for 30 minutes have 3 hackers here just holding me up… 😂
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Glad BHVR is crackin' down. Was really worried about them just letting the game fall off.
Idk if it's cheating, but I've had 2 games where a survivor DC and crash the whole lobby.. it even ended my stream last night…
Your outlook on stuff like this is always very impartial, in my opinion, and thanks for that! ♥
Looping is certainly not a reportable offence and it’s definitely abusing the report system for anybody who does try to report looping, but the report system definitely needs to be changed updated or improved if everyone continues to believe that body blocking is not a reportable offence since it’s listed under The griefing category for The reporting system.
I play DBD but also play overwatch games. I believe BH4R communicates MUCH better than Activision Blizzard. Honestly this response, and how quickly it came out after creators started talking about it seems nice.
Talk is cheap. Follow through on it, then get back to me.
A replay option would be pretty good for watching your own gameplay and improving as well as vetting for cheaters.
I think the only thing im going to be scared about; would be the automated bot thinking I’m hacking when I just have terrible wifi-
I get saved by my wifi; and it looks like I’m just cheating; but I have a red bar, with 200 ms on the esc menu 😭
I just played with a subtle cheater against a booba. He had unb and boil over. First, he went down on the ground floor, and it took him no less than 10s to wiggle off. Both us went down in shack, and starting from him getting downed and to myself getting picked up and hooked in basement(not he went down inside the shack), between booba carrying me and going back up to get him, it took him 24s to pick himself up on his own. He was very subtle about it until it wasn’t.
Hackers will just make it so that you never trigger the end game collapse, so you'll just be held hostage for 1hr.
This isn't really about cheaters, but I feel flashlights need a cool down. One of two things to solve toxic flashlights.
1) Every time a flashlight is turned on, they use 1 full charge, this only applies to turning them on, not off. So this makes it so rapid clicking results in flashlights draining fast.
2) You cannot turn a flashlight off or on until 1 second passes since you turned it on or off previously.
I truly wish the Devs the best with this. I have personally only gotten matched with one cheater in 1500 hours and they only became blatant when the killer downed them. When they started zooming around while downed I immediately went to the killer to kill me but who knows how long that killer might have been held hostage… Can't imagine what it's like for streamers. I'm all for them delaying new chapters to show the game love because I can see this game lasting for many more years as long as they keep trying, blunders along the way or not.
I've seen coconut use the video ticket option a number of times and it seems to have a very reliable outcome. The cheaters usually get banned. Obviously it requires clear video evidence, but still.
The whole thing that has bugged me about the cheating issue is how screwed I feel as a player when it comes to reporting cheaters. Granted, my ranking is piss-poor so it’s not like I’m being put against high-skill/high-stake players, or that I’ve encountered a lot of cheaters in my time playing (in the year to year-and-a-half I’ve been playing I’ve only encountered 2 cheaters), but as a console player, I feel like I don’t have any ability to effectively report cheaters. The report system is rubbish, and the whole issue of submitting video evidence is ridiculous; I don’t stream, so I don’t record any of my games, and I’m not going to start just on the off-chance I run into a cheater. It would be great if they could revamp their reporting system and actually make it feel like console players can make effective use of it.
I just really hope whatever updated Anti-Cheat there is handles Subtle Cheaters. I actually felt relieved when subtle cheaters go full blatant at the end of one match where I was like "Are they cheating??? I can't be too sure." But the matches where I'm suspicious but I just cannot truly know? Those matches I hate.
Games where it gets down to a 3 Gen. I check one Gen, it's at 0. Patrol the other 2 and after a really short chase, than 1st Gen somehow popped. And I'm just going through endgame going "Ok please show me some perks or Toolboxes that make that somehow make sense."
Like there just isn't really a way to know if one Survivor has "Give me the Resilience Gen Speed Boost at all times" cheats on or something. How would I know if a Gen I am far away from and haven't checked in a bit pops 20 seconds faster than it should?
Course some cheaters aren't as subtle as they think. A Yuichi one time hit me with a DS he simply did not have and even if he did it had been well over a minute since his last hook. Or an injured Feng I tracked near Basement on the Game via doctor's power but then her scratch marks and blood literally just vanished around the corner. And no they were no perks involved that would've helped her with that.
Yeh yeh modders always was and be here. Create a playground where the players can have actual fun so ppls no need to touch kinda apps. Everybody knows why their numbers go higher nowadays. LOL
You can't win even if you win if you were responsible for the battle in the first place.
All those accounts were just park of the account bank hackers made when it was free on Epic Games.
cheating is ot the way of the bean
honestly i feel like they should handle this first vs updating moris and chapter releases 🙁
