Lost everything to some hackers

[DaBabyYodi]

They found my base and somehow destroyed all structures, and killed my pals. They dropped me rocket launchers and a item called eTIM.

Just cant believe lost my stuff to some hackers lmao

First time playing online multiplayer I take it?

Best to host private groups or join ones run by trusted individuals.

Agreed.

It sucks, but it's a big part of online gaming, and also a risk you have to accept when playing multiplayer games on PC with or against strangers.

that's why single player is superior

First time playing any sort of game like this in multiplayer?

Well actually it must not be accepted, especially if there isnt even PvP in the game officially.
I think they were surprised by their own success, they need to come up with VAC or some other kind of Anti Cheat fast, or the player numbers will drop hard soon.
Until an AntiCheat is implemented, the first step would be to actually region lock China and Russia to their own Servers, what would probably reduce hacking by 90%.

I don't know of any game where hacking is eliminated completely, If i were Palworld I would focus on gameplay/bugs.

Players will likely leave once they hit the content wall and never come back.

Nobody cares about any gameplay or actual bugs, if all you did and worked for is ruined by some angry kid in his moms basement.

Can hacking be completely eliminated? Of course not, but you can permaban those who get caught doing so. 1 hacker that slips thru is still better than 2 hackers.
More than one promising Online Game died a painful death, cause the developers refused to adress this issue.
Same will happen here if they dont adress it.

Doesn't affect me cause I play these either with my close friends or by myself I never trust any open server for stuff like this learnt the hard way with Mincraft. If you wanna see how amazing Vac is head over to the CS2 hub.

Im happy for you, that you decided to play solo or with friends only.
But many people actually play online games... well... to play them online... with other people around the world.... cause yay its an online game.
If they really add PvP one day without proper AntiCheat, this will become a massacre and it wont be fun for no one, except the hackers.
Anti cheat sadly is mandatory for an online game. Especially if it plans to go PvP.

RUN YOUR OWN SERVER!

This has been a public service announcement

[Cioper]

Just play alone in singleplayer or with friends, not with random people.

And such players are not called "hackers" but "griefers".

Actually, pretty sure this happened to a community server I played on too. I wasn't there for the incident. People talked about it on discord. The admin failed to kick/ban them, and then the server got nuked. I don't even know how a kick/ban can fail...

it's not normal for hackers to be able to have perms to delete your stuff or have kick/ban immunity. And as for the in-game griefing, the hacker just forcefully joins your guild. Forcefully gives themselves guild leader position. Then deletes everything via the clicking dismantle on foundation until the whole base is deleted. Then they move onto the next person. Those perms shouldn't be accessable to the client period. I can't ever remember other online games like Ark or Minecraft having that security oversight. But maybe I could be wrong.

This. There are people out there who are really... "dedicated"... into ruining other peoples games. So I'd rather play a survival game like a chill game, and leave the pvp part of it for "real" pvp games.
