Game is full of cheaters

[Cetha]

Can't do online battles because every orc is hacked to have no weaknesses, all the epic traits of reduced damage taken and increased damage dealt, and the no chance trait. This game is trash.

[Saint Hamudi]

This game has problems

I agree. Unfortunately this has ruined the online game element as hackers often do.

I did read on another forum post however, the way to combat these d!ck heads is to join them at their own game; use wemod to enable one hit kills then wipe their fort.

I personally don't do this, I just avoid attacking cheater forts but its an option if you really wanna stick it to them.

[Mushihimesama MAYA]

Me and my friend Catherine are working on ways to fight back these kids without becoming one of them, but you'll need cheat engine which a lot of people are afraid of (for good reason)
I was testing her armor build today and the damage was pretty good to the point of fighting normal orcs.

Of course, all of this would be fixed if the devs' cared enough to pull a report of forts with clearly edited stats, then VAC ban them all + delete their forts / stats.

So, people should literally be VAC banned for cheating in what is basically a single player game with optional online components? This is beyond absurd in any way, shape, or form. YOU choose to do online conquests or vendettas. People do not get the option to disable having their forts as targets for conquests, otherwise I would disable that aspect. And what they do in their own games is their own business. So that is on the developers, not the players. I myself? I have a few cheated orcs just to mess around with as bodyguards or to generally murder the NPC invasions. I have zero interest in online conquests. I do muck about in vendettas though just for spoils of war upgrade chests and just to see what kind of orcs other people have. And possibly recruit some. Also, as far as 'combating' them... If a person fails to defend against a person or etc, it literally does not impact them whatsoever. Only the attacking person has the ability to lose orcs.

The online element of the game introduces a competitive element and people who cheat to gain advantage of that element should absolutely be VAC banned.

That said, I agree it should be an optional element to an otherwise single player game.

Uh, no. it does not. Competitive actually implies you lose something if you lose. The only one that loses is the attacker. If the attacker 'wins' the loser does not lose anything. You are not 'punishing cheaters' if you cheat and do one hit kills on their entire warchief side because they do not lose anything. Especially if they are like me, and could not care less about that stupid game mode.

[Zoe & Kids]

So why you springing to its defence?

I am not interested in arguing as clearly we have different views. I am just stating IMO that VAC is applicable to any online game mode, which given the score board, rankings, ability to attack other players forts etc falls under VAC rationale.

Regardless, the point remains that people cheat, as they do in every game. Sad really they need to do so to feel accomplished but each to their own.

Well yeah, online cheaters SHOULD be dealt with. I don't know about VAC banning, but if I were to take part in the online portion, which will ONLY affect MY orcs in any way, I don't want to lose anything due to the vast number of griefers out there who cheat for the sole purpose of messing with others. Because that is the ONLY reason people do this, it's not like they lose anything to somebody beating their fort online. They just want to be dix.

That said, yeah I'm all for a way to opt out, or at least somehow identify the people who are clearly cheating and if nothing else don't make them available for online conquest.

Refreshing old topic :) Does anyone have any idea how to recover cheated orc (which look awesome) to more "regular" one? Tried to brute force picker abilities through cheat table from more or less standard orc to bring the cheated one to usability, although as I was trying to do it in one go -> game crashed ;d - Any ideas?

[Mushihimesama MAYA]

Picker ability -> give them weaknesses remove no chances and anything that looks like a EPIC trait.
Or you know...look at what other normal orcs have and copy that.

Well, tried to like copy that by brute force mark->roll to another :D that was when game crashed. Guess am gonna try to do it one by one I guess. Or try to copy the look combination. Unfortunately am clueless how to add special body type, or accessories if they are by default as "??"

Alternatively, without cheating, recruit the 7/7/7 captains and put them in your own garrisons. It can be done. It's not easy, obviously but, if you are persistent it is possible.

Thanks but u got me completely wrong :D I can recruit these "7/7/7" ones with ease. Thing is that I want to revert the "overpowering" process via the cheat engine to bring these captains, or at least the ones which looks incredibly good, to more "real" state. I tried to mark in bulk the things I want to re-write & scroll over like from regular orc to cheated one - to somehow do it at one go but I guess this is too much for the game engine to process at once & this way game crashes.

[Long_Beard_Mike]

Nevermind, I found the way around - fixing the cheated orc is too much of a work, but giving their look 1:1 to another orc is possible without an issue ^^
