I left the game for a long time and came back to update 1.8. I was told about cronus and didn’t know what to expect. I started getting destroyed by striker shotgun builds and realized it’s kinda OP (so I built my own). After months of playing and refining my striker shotgun build/popshotting, I started to notice that many of the users being accused of cronus aren’t using cronus. The guys that bodied me all the sudden were losing to me. People in my groups would accuse people of cronus and i’d have no trouble killing them. I’d walk into a 1vs1 circle and fight the guy supposably using cronus and id win. It’s funny when the people accusing the person of cronus are using predator or nomad, not even striker shotgun. I found that not many people understand how strong striker is when you have 100 stacks and can popshot half decent because they never even tried it(or were awful at it). I have lost to great players that use striker shotgun and i don’t complain of cronus. Maybe they had more stacks? maybe they hit headshots? maybe they popshotted better than me? People walk out checkpoints when i have 100 stacks and then they instantly think i have a cronus because i 3 shot them with my sasg. I notice a lot of lag in servers nowadays that has players running in place on my screen, when i shoot them in place they eventually glitch forward to wherever they were running on their screen and all my damage hits at once. People think that is cronus but really i just had you not moving on my screen which is server lag. I’ve been shot literally through walls and trucks too but i think it’s because on their screen i was running in place and then bang all the damage hits me at once. Another thing i find funny is when somebody is jumping around dodging all my shots accusing me of cronus when they don’t realize i wouldn’t miss at all if i had a cronus? I know striker shotgun is strong but it isn’t as easy to use as everyone claims, why don’t you try it before crying about it? Only thing to kill me in the DZ is another good striker or constant pred bleed(which requires landing 10 bullets and a house holds 66). Nomad is no match for a striker with stacks most of the time. Also, If players are smart they will keep an NPC around to maintain the stacks, so once a player comes i’m already at 80 stacks and you are at 0...people will think “how did that guy hit me so hard i just came around the corner” Well buddy i had an 80 stack advantage running 9K striker, not a cronus. Because of stacks striker is the best build in game hands down if you land shots, All experienced players recognize this and since shotguns stack the quickest, the best players in game are going to be drawn to the striker shotgun build, and they know how to play. Cronus is a huge problem and i hope it gets fixed but way too many quality players are being accused. My PSN is The_savage08831 and I posted a striker shotgun video in a thread a few minutes ago. Hopefully some of you agree.
Shoiuld read - the truth about good punctuation!
But yes being accused of something that you are not doing is just as irritating as the exploiters hacking. But can you blame them when those issue have reached an epidemic?
No ones for sure whats going except the admins with access to logs and such..... we can only suspect nefarious acts and report them. Ofc the more experience and knowledge you have of the game can provide the tools to enhance your capability of determining whats not quite right but thats a discussion for another time.
Cronus is a huge issue in this game and until they address it, innocent people will be accused daily. At this point, the blame cant be put on the players doing the accusing because of its prevalence. Those who know, know what to look for, i come across good pop shotters daily, i come across more cronus users though.
I don’t take these forum posts that seriously my friend lol...but i understand what you are saying. I agree it’s a problem that needs to be addressed and hopefully will in Division 2. Just people that don’t understand the game (pvp) need to stop cryin about cronus every time they die from a shotgun.Originally Posted by agentCoats Go to original post
I’ve been accused of cheating a ridiculous amount of times. Pms whilst in dz with cronos accusations, death threats, wishing myself or family got cancer is easily in the hundreds.
Does it bother me? No not in the slightest as I don’t cheat and genuinely don’t see the point.
Problem here is the dz has become more and more toxic due to Cronos, strike pack, lag and so on that people are getting so pissed off accusations start flying round. Why blame the players accusing others? Some cases they’re correct others they aren’t. Easy fix to this and that’s Ubisoft doing what various other gaming companies have done and that’s stopping the cheat software! By not doing so it’s a toxic atmosphere created by the people that are supposed to put a stop to it.
Can’t even imagine the amount of people that will be put off buying division 2 due to all of this more than likely being unsolved and most likely completely ignored by the people in power at massive and Ubisoft.
I concur; it's definitely possible to develop a consistent pop shot without using a macro. I have an elite controller---which Microsoft markets, manufactures, and sells---and I set the LT & RT dead zones to the lowest possible setting. I would travel from DZ01 to DZ09 doing nothing but practice SASG pop shot (non-cronus). I don't really like using striker shotgun because I think it's pretty cheesy, but I equip it the minute a player on the server uses predator or nomad (not as a solo player) because I think they are equally as cheesy. Take off the predator and don't run nomad if you're not a solo player and I'll take off the shotgun (non-cronus). Very simple.
Then the question could be asked, why did you bother in the first place if you dont take them seriously? If Ubisoft took Cronus seriously, then you wouldnt have to be in the first place and thats the main issue.Originally Posted by christiancorbs Go to original post
Werent we watching some video with this guy in it last week? I dont think it was about Cronus though. I may be mistaken but i dont think so.
edit: yep, it was this guy. Im guessing he got a warning or 14 day'r from Ubi and that is why he is here trying to explain himself.
This guy gets no credibility when he talks of 3 shotting people who walk out of checkpoints and he is waiting with his cheese churning OP Striker set up WITH a 100 credit stack.
This is why the Division concept of PVP that is the current DZ is a festering pile of formerly large intestine content.
What is the point of a known contest where one side has no possibility of success as the OP has designed it so he holds all the cards, you can bet he rarely if never starts a PVP battle with out holding his cheese grinding stack advantage.
He does know how to work the system to his advantage, you would concede that but any contest he wins is of no consequence as he stacked it in his favour.
Is he a cronus cheat trying to cry bleeding heart wrongly accused, mere agents such as read this forum will never know, but you can be sure given Ubisoft's reluctance to act on cheating if he was pinged it was not a little infraction, it was huge and just could not be ignored.
Hoping the D 2 has a better set up, cheat monitoring, PVP on an even basis, agreed to by both parties, getting rid of stacks and bonuses and other BS, an agent with some armour and a weapon to take out the opposition. Then I will give you credit for a decent PVP kill ratio.
Judging by the video he posted where he never pop shots and ADS in the same clip with a shotgun I'm going to lean that he is.Originally Posted by yamxt6002016 Go to original post
