    Can this game even be saved at this point?

    It appears that they are hemorrhaging players....at least the ones that dont' exploit the game. Sadly from what I've been lead to understand is that the servers trust the client side. If that is the case then they will have to rewrite the core code for everyone one. For those that don't understand any of this, you basically have a bunch of files on your PC, XBox, PS4 that contain information on the weapons and items your character uses. Some editing of these files can allow you to increase your rate of fire, ammo, DPS. Since the server trusts what you have on your computer it allows this in the game.

    Looks like the game is doomed folks.

    It will require an old priest, a young priest, a different developer, different publisher and the will of a bitter old man to even attempt such a thing. Ahab has met their whale.

    So you have definitive proof you have seen files edited/hacked on the console version?

    Sure

    Well, for me, all they would have do is put some leveled pve on 70% of the map where I could play and farm. Then they could take all the frikkin time they need to buff the dz and the loot system.

    It's not the glitchers, cheaters, griefers and bugs that get me down. It's the boredom. Sooo much map and nothing to do. Pretty easy to save it in my world.

    Yes it can be "saved". It isn't dead-at least on XBox. It needs some work and polish and they apparently missed a lot of stuff in beta testing but overall the game is really fun. All MMOs are a work in progress. This isn't CoD folks.

    Interesting articles on the net showing how consoles can be easily hacked as well and once the hacker community realizes this they will begin to demolish consoles.

    yeah ,
    that wont happen ... they actually removed what was there in first place

    plus
    Here is the list of changes implemented during the maintenance of April 28:
    Protection from Elites will now correctly reduce damage received from Elite enemies
    Fixed a bug with Rehabilitated where the talent could remain active when used in combination with a tear gas grenade
    *Fixed an exploit where players could go through walls by using a ladder while the Jumping Jack emote is active
    Falcon Lost: Players will no longer be able to shoot inside the incursion when they are standing outside of it
    no mention on anything :S

    The hemorrhaging players is an issue. I'm not shocked the weekly numbers are dropping off, but there's almost no weekend spike, which is not consistent with how good games perform. If it continues, Ubisoft may not have any incentive to actually fix anything. They'll throw some quick updates together to deliver on the pre-sold season pass items, and call the game a wash.

    Well everything I read about the PC is no, not without a complete rewrite apparently.
