Ok, But for real. Are they gonna ban people for mods or not?

[Draknalor]

Hey.

I am just looking at nexus mods and seeing stuff like "Vegeta" skin for iron man or Jeff skin for iron fist.

Stuff that looks really cool

Are they really gonna ban people for using these?

Because nexus mods is really blowing up, the most popular mods sitting at 50-90k total downloads.

they probably will not
mods on client site are just there for the community. But if its became hacks such as resizing existing models and all of that which works outside your own character - then it could be a reason for a bans. Not to mention real cheating such as replacing the sounds of walk and other stuff.
However I dont think they are gonna ban people for pochita-jeff or something like that.

There is no way this game will be competitive. It's slop for enjoyment. The performance and radical imbalance is way too much for it to go competitive.

You will definitely get banned for using those. Maybe not now, but you will. Also 90k downloads on Nexusmods is nothing lol. Skyrim mods get 20 million downloads. That's more than the number of people playing Marvel Rivals.

[Arisato]

If they just stay silent I will take that as they know about mods but turn blind to it. Unfortunately, they gave out warning that you shouldn't modifying any game file on discord so I would recommend not using any mods.

ban incoming 100%. this is a competitive game. any type of modding can give an unfair advantage
it would be nice if the game won't just straight ban you and instead let you know your game files have been changed and you need to reinstall

That's not the main reason.

The main reason is this is a F2P game and the developers make money selling you skins. If you mod your own skins into the game you are literally cutting off their livelihood. You will get ban hammered.

The game is still new, these numbers will only rise.

Not after the bans start.

I see you have a *Banned* tag next to your username... we're you banned on rivals or is that just some weird flair that's actually unrelated?

Banned only on MR forum. Not for game.

[Pachislot Rockman Ability]

so many games, even ones relying on skin sales, allow mods without issue. The "modding to get the good costume for free" basically never happens or at least it's something i've never seen in over a decade of seeing people mod these games

so the only question is if the suits in charge are stupid in that way or not, but good chance they won't touch cosmetic mods

(and the people likening it to cheating are children)

i still think the point stands that they should just inform you that the game files have been changed and would tell you to repair download or reinstall instead of just ban. But it is china so they just dont care

[Player Zer01]

they could if the person is reported. but also with visual mods only the person sees them, not everyone else. unless they are a streamer (and an idiot) then you wouldnt know if they are running them.

Ask people that "got banned for nothing" that appear from time to time on this forum. Any detectable change to game files can result in a ban and they dont accept appeals nor refunds.
