Cheater?

[Gankatron]

I beat the daily challenge (03/17/2018) and when I checked my final score breakdown I was awarded "Cheater". I was curious what this achievement was for, and at this point I hadn't noticed the "-99" to my score, and to my surprise it informed me I had been cheating and if caught again my scores would never be uploaded to the leaderboards.

The problem is, ...I didn't cheat, I don't even know how I could cheat at the game.

So perhaps this is a bug related to the unusual rule-set involved in this daily challenge (for instance the obscene number of card in my deck), but I am writing this to inform you of the problem.

...oh yes, and to please remove the "Cheater" penalty from my account.

Although all sorts of people might cheat, for what it is worth I am a 50+ year old clinical pathologist and ex-university professor who loves your game, and doesn't see the point of hacking a game that is meant to provide an intellectual challenge (and again, for all my training, I never took nor taught a class in video game hacking )

Thanks!

It's a bug, triggers when you have more than 100 cards in your deck. Pretty big oversight.

Thanks for the info!

Seems like a weird thing to set off a cheating alarm. Wouldn't really think a 100 card deck would be desirable.

Weird. I never got over 100 cards during that daily. I barely even reached 80.

@xepho:

The possibility shouldn't be too surprising considering one gets 3 cards instead of one, cards can't be removed at the Merchant, and one gets 3 curses when defeating a Boss.

I ran an exhaust deck with Corrruption, Havoc, Body Slam, block set-up so a bloated deck works.

I found this too, would love to get this taken off from my account as I had 136 cards in my deck by the end of the run, all of them legitimate.

[Shumas]

Had the same issue. Finished with ~130-ish cards (don't remember the exact count). A strange way to trigger such as score modifier when you could reasonably approach getting almost 200 cards in that mode. Also seems like the game didn't upload my score (assuming it was because the cheater flag).

[no way!]

same issue here... Got nice score, had great fun and at the end -99 points for "cheating" :/

[Kiltedfrog]

yeah, I just had a solid run that would have been 1311 score for it, but I had too many cards, and it thinks I'm a cheater now... hopefully since I didn't notice it THE FIRST TIME it happened it doesn't ban me from the leaderboards.

Same here: Ended daily challenge with a whooping 133 cards and called a cheater. -Never cheated in my live, so that accusation pissed me right off and got me worried, because of the Leaderboards - please fix/reset "cheat"-counter

[Xivias]

They know of the bug and are working on a hotfix to A) remove the penalty going forward in further challenges involving 'deck bloating' modifiers, and B) remove any players falsely flagged and reinstate their clean sheets.

Good to know Xivias

I had the same problem too. Wanted to try the daily again as it was fun, but will hold off to avoid the banhammer

Had the same problem on the run in the daily. The devs need to fix this, as I never cheated, just got over a hundred cards in the deck because that's who the daily was working...also would like the cheater tag removed from my account.
