PVP Cheating? | Forums

[forkmantis]

I got matched with Matrix-3932014, and I'm pretty sure they're hacking or cheating somehow. This is the first time I've run across anything like this in the bunker. Is this common? Is there any consequence for a player doing anything like this?

Interesting... The flooded highway time seems incredible (though my bikes aren't fully upgraded and I haven't played that track in a while). I was thinking that it could just be a graphical glitch but not sure. The other two tracks are currently definitely beatable but yea it does seem strange. And added to that the fact that it happens against him on all three tracks its equally strange.

He's a known cheater/hacker and resident piece of trash that needs to be removed from the leaderboards.

Yeah, he's been spoken of earlier-on this week, about the same thing, make sure you tell RL and Ubi about him (Via Support Ticket) and be sure to attach the video (or at least the link) to show them as well !!

Hopefully they'll do something about him and the others SOON !!


I've never understood the point in cheating in any game because it essentially kills-off what there is to actually play for therefore making it pointless playing the game at-all !!

OK, full disclosure.. I just did the rocket technique and put myself on the legends leaderboard for the first time.

That being said, it's not something I plan on doing regularly, and I take no satisfaction in it. It was an experiment to see if it worked the way I thought it would.

I enjoy the game and enjoy fair competition and the satisfaction of winning legitimately.

It seems like it would be pretty easy for them to resolve this. They could do something like make it so that you only earn a star for a victory if the player you defeat is at least within 2-3 levels of your current level at the time of the victory.

I did file a support ticket with a link to the video, BTW.

Well, tying it to the others guys level can cause trouble... he can lose other showdowns and drop a level, so then you are penalized for his mistakes.... but you can get the same affect by saying that you only get stars when your own level at end of showdown compared to your own level at start of the same showdown is within 2-3. Stiill, nice idea.

Last time this came up, my suggestion was that RL continually add 5 more tickets to the cost of a showdown, for every open showdown over a certain amount (lets say 6). So 7th costs 15, 8th costs 20, 9th costs 25, etc.... and even make it more costly per showdown at some point beyond that. That way the average person isnt affected, and if somebody really wants to exceed 6 showdowns they can, but the cost of opening 30+ to reach legends... not really worth it. And RL gets to get rid of all those excess tickets people have...

Its good matchmaking to pick opponents near the same level as you.
Nothing prevents opening massive number of showdowns. If anything RL encourages the ticket usage.
RL allows showdowns to cross season boundaries (although I consider that weak design on their part)

Just want to say that maximizing the effectiveness of RLs existing system to your advantage isnt quite on the same level as a guy who is hacking the game (like the Matrix-3932014).

That's an excellent idea. Similar to the way that spinning the loot wheel more than once gets progressively more expensive.

Yeah. At the end of the day, if you're a power player, you're going to learn how things work and exploit every edge to your advantage.

Actually Yeah, you're both right, I understand what you're saying and I've gotta say, you've changed my mind and I agree with ya's now.....It's not technically cheating if it's something they "Sort-of" promote, you're not exploiting a glitch coz that's how they've made it and it's Nothing like that hacker that calls himself "Matrix-(numbers)" !!

So, apologies to all those that I might have offended but in my defence I am still a bit new to this game and as they say, we learn something new everyday and I have been with this game (lol).....So cheers for taking the time to explain things to me !!
