Lol goodbye to the obvious cheaters

[Rune]

Looking at the rankings in the arena, there are many people with sub 10 seconds on the arenas, both the rathian, chatacabra, and the challenge arena doshaguma, it takes liek 10 seconds to walk to the monster lol

goodbye to obvious cheat times, they're going to be removed from the leaderboards and be banned

Here's hoping they actually do that and they don't just erase the numbers. It's so ridiculous to see that garbage and those times actually staying up for any significant amount of time.

I think the people who care are simply wanting the rewards, and not the actual spot on the leader board. Capcom could solve this by setting a benchmark time and if you hit it you get the reward and leave the leader boards to the cheaters.

I am yet to meet a single person that cares about Arena times, or treats them seriously. Even on a console they aren't relevant to anybody. I am surprised anybody even cared about the cheated times, don't remember a single person complaining about this in World ether...

So would be massive props to Capcom if they did these leaderboards to hand out a mass amount of bans based on an uploaded world record, and just auto-banning anyone 15-30 seconds quicker than that playing solo.


However you have probably not experienced Capcom cheaterboards before. All they do is ban the impossible scores. And I don't mean 10 second completion times aka the time it takes to get to the monster. Only the times of 0.00 seconds. That's how they've handled resident evil games before. Truly is a shame.

there should be recorded replay like dota 2 if you will, so for everyone can verify it's legitimacy for themselves.

Ban them from ever having a time on board sure

I think they plan on banning them so that they can only ever play Online Single Player and can never have times posted to the boards again.

Don't worry. All the non-obvious cheaters will be unaffected.

Only half the obvious ones. In my experience with Capcom and event leaderboards, they played it safe by a mile, leaving up plenty of obvious scores back in the re(dot)net days with Resident Evil Revelations 2.

Like they'd only ban the super impossible scores, the scores/times that could beat the level faster than someone running through and using a one shot hack. That is to say they still kept the scores up that were as fast as someone using a one shot hack. All 200 or so of them. Just banning anyone faster than that.

I hopeful they will be at least a little more aggressive than they were in the past. However, they do, like your example, have a habit of disappointing even in the most basic of ways.

Nah, should absolutely ban them from online play entirely. Because any of the people getting caught here are malicious cheatings, not stealth cheaters. I wouldn't want to see them in an SOS flare either.

As if they would ban 10k moneybags. If they get perma banned they won't buy teh expansion. THey will tink twice about it.

[SotiCoto]

The same player is in the #1 slot for both the Arena matches AND the Challenge.
I'm tempted to follow them JUST to see if they get banned after this.

[Kiririn]

The expansion AND microtransactions.

10k people not buying the expansion would be a drop in the bucket. But that logic cuts both ways btw. Banning people means they may be repeat customers, and may even buy dlc again. After all, it's not like they are all that capable of self-restraint.

Well, starting over completely would probably discourage most of them from buying the game again. Cause I don't think the save file of someone else can be used by the new account.

Either way, 10k cheaters banned wouldn't mean anywhere near 10k DLC sales.

Agreed, they have already said any they cant prove was cheating they will just remove their times and stop them from getting rewards !!!, so yeah they will not get banned but they will not get any goodies either and probably be put on a flag list.
