How do you report cheating ?
The usual alpha-caveblocking grooming tribe wiped me for the 100th time, but I noticed that when I respawned on the other side of the map it took one of them under 2-3minutes to find my exact location. When he killed me, I respawned again on the north side of the map..this time he was there in probally around 2 minutes...this kept on..where ever I spawned he would pinpoint my location in the matter of minutes. When he came flying he didnt even look around, he just came towards me like he would know my exact coords.
When they attacked my base they used about 40-50 seconds to remove all traces of it, they pretty much just used demolish.

How is this possible? Ive heard that if you report cheating the devs dont care much and dont reply, but I still would like to try.

there are no such thing as "good friends with the devs". thats just a very lame excuse and a lie nothing more. it simply an other point to report them. but don´t expect asap response. they will look at it but that takes manpower and time wich is both rare in such a small development studio

Ive played since the first day this game was out, and yes there is such a thing as someone playing with a dev, it was not that uncommon for the devs to be active in the very beginning at the official servers. Cheating has been rampant the last few days....really a level 10 russian tribe with 1000 narcs and a journeyman quetzal saddle platform?. Yeah sure no such things as cheating and help from the devs.

The Devs do not play favorites with groups of people on any server for any reason. Anyone found cheating, hacking, or breaking the rules with sufficient evidence are dealt with as they should be. Anyone claiming they are friends of the devs are doing so as an attempt to cause you to fear retalliation, and to make you lose faith in the devs themselves. Report them with evidence and do not let them attempt to bully you into silence.

This is game will soon see its death, fewer and fewer players are playing everyday and nerds are just ruining the game by denying high level tames and blocking of caves and caging all whom they see as a potential treath. Good job letting nerds screw up the joy in this beautiful game for all other players. How about actually making the game so that normal people can play and enjoy it, must every game be tailormade for the avengesick beta male queek to destroy. It was fun, now its just a haven for queeks who like to bully others.

Now you are turning this thread into a complaint against the dev team for no real reason. I see no reason to assist this thread in being seen. Good day.

The games only played by noobs/trolls now anyway because of the win mechanics 1: have the biggest tribe or 2: spend the most hours ingame. No-one with any skill plays this game anymore.

Don't waste your time reporting anything, nothing will be done

I have solid video evidence of a speedhacker (among other cheats) www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1HpM5AYFAk

Sent it to all the relevent people, nothing was done and he's still cheating on offical servers today

Some one sounds like whiner and a cry baby. Oh look it's you.


@ George. Whether they are friends or not with the devs doesn't matter you should still report them of they are hacking and or cheating. I've played a lot of games where people would try this tactic to bull or trick people in to not reporting them. And the devs take this behavior seriously if you have proof in this game. But with them being a small team it may take a bit for them to respond.

Just always remember.
All it takes for evil to triumph. Is for good men to do nothing.

If you say so. Not that I care what your opinion is.

And no matter what you want to call me at least I try to be helpful to people and not just say spew negative comments. But then you are most likely one of those teens that thinks he knows everything and seen it all. Lol.

this vid shows no cheating. no speed hack. nothing. only very poor quality nothing more.
StoneTiger Jan 17, 2016 @ 6:04am 
Yeah I don't see any sign of any cheating in your video there. I think you are seeing stuff lol half the time they missed you. Looked more like they put a few lvls in to speed

At the start he comes flying past the screen as I'm in my inventory

0:50 - run into two guys fighting him, they have also commented on his hacks as heard over voip

3:40 the speedhacker returns with a friend to fight me...

He manages to catch me from behind while spearing which shouldnt be possible as attacking slows you down

Note how fast he fully charges the spear for a throw, only possible with speedhack

Also obvious as he uses his speed bursts to try and time his last few attacks coming into me and how fast he moves backwards.

He is lvl 5 so even if he invested all points into speed he would not be moving like this. He is cheating, and it's obvious to anyone with an average level of intellegence. I don't see the relevance to pointing out that he missed me with the attacks? I said he was cheating, I didnt say he was good at it

Sorry if I hurt you by useing facts and evidence to belittle your favorite game
