Solution to Cheaters on Official Servers

[Korintheblack]

Make your own servers.

Game has many more pressing issues currently that don't involve a deep dive into why or how people are cheating in multiplayer.

Devs need to focus on pathing, AI, and other core problems before chasing down some nobody acting like a fool on official servers.

No game has ever eradicated the problem of cheaters/hackers and they never will. As you say, play on Community servers or make one. Official Servers inevitably turn into crap and get abandoned to crickets and tumbleweeds.

Well, I've never seen this level of cheating in a game before, it's not just using wallhacks or aimbot, items in general which are not on the server side, so cheating is very easy. It's not a simple cheat, they have free adming rights, theyc can destroy your bases, spawn bosses, kill you, join your guild, etc. To be honest a bit ridiculous.

Well, if they can't manage their official servers that supposedly cost them 500k a month... Trying to make it seem like it is not important, I totally disagree, some people just don't want to go to private servers.

Like most people that have been playing MMO's and pvp shooters since they became a thing, I've seen vastly worse. Like, WAY worse lol .

As a general rule, games that acquire a large player base before leaving the EA or OBT phase tend to get flooded with cheaters.

It's going to take some time for the devs to plug the holes and I'd agree that there are more pressing concerns rn since people can just play in gated communities or in SP.

It's why Ark servers were abandoned by the vast majority of players. Other survival games have similar problems.

Then you get to play with the cheaters until such a time where the devs have the luxury of time to spend looking at why it's happening or hire an anti-cheat service.

As it stands though, the game needs many more pertinent fixes at the moment than catering to people who *choose* to ignore a perfectly viable solution.
