region lock china cheaters getting more common

[Benjo]

im from eu and especially on weekends the game is full of chinese players causing lag. most of them are cheating because they think its the smart thing to do. just came from a round where they spawned tanks nonstop without ressources. why do devs not lock them out. of course they could get a vpn but then they could get autokicked from having a bad ping.

and its not that they dont have servers to play on. its probably that they dont want to play on their own servers because they are full of cheaters.

they also dont communicate and it just sucks to play with or against them

Id region lock all continent's all separately

This will split entire communities and the HLL player base, pretty useless and a not very logical.

Hi EASY OPAcroc tbh it already is split that's clearly evident just by reading all their social media stuff that their various parts of the community post Reddit, Steam Forums Discord etc.

HLL just need a good report system and active admins to check stats 99% of cheater are on rage and can be easily picked out by kill score.

You're absolutely correct the problem is were in total some 3-4 years in development and they still can't provide a basic fit for purpose "Vote To Kick Function" and enough is enough now we have to get serious in our criticisms otherwise they will not pay attention and keep ignoring us. they have to start being held to their word and being held accountable for stuff they are saying.

I mean com'on for example someone is in game start being racist we trigger a Vote to kick cant get the silly 29 votes need so that person stays in game effectively unless someone else triggers a vote to kick right away.

what if a game is happen on a low populated server and has 28 players on a team or less and someone is being racist or abusive? dose than mean the vote to kick cant be finalized? am gonna take it for granted that in a team of 28 players on low pop server would not be enough to finalize a "Vote To Kick" this is the proof that these dev's need to rethink their approach and not just with Vote to Kick.

noone can defend that not even the claquers or Shills etc huh Iv got em and the Dev's there haven't I.

let's put it in perspective it's not a major job like Animations, ballistics, hit registry, etc and is not a huge drain on resources or development time etc and certainly not months n month of work as other features Iv mentioned above are in comparison it's a small job.

Trucks were added but no tools/means to implement and use them as intended they are open to abused by joy riders etc. and when some av infantry jump in a supply or troop carrier truck and drives off with supply's or an empty truck while 20 odd folk spawn in at an HQ and have to run across 3 or 4 sectors to point which results in confrontation's argument's, abuse, Tking, etc it quickly descends into a s*t show and this is some how acceptable gameplay.

I only encountered one cheater. He disabled the vegetation which gave him a huge advantage

Definitely against region locking. I really enjoy playing on euro servers as their player base is, for the most part, far superior to that of North America...their concept of "for the good of the team" is actually present, whereas the "Leroy Jenkins" complex is strong within NA. Regional locks would deny is the fun of playing in Big D with our Oceania buddies and other great servers like WTH, EXD, 82AD and Fins let loose.

Best way to handle this is by adding a language/coms requirement on the server rules and letting the admins police accordingly. Most of these guys are playing in internet cafes where mics are prohibited, so it's an easy out for an admin based in those rukes. Perhaps even a name "requirement" would help as having characters or numbers is very difficult for communication.

I've played with some great Chinese players as well, so the blanket black balling isn't exactly fair either.

If this is your reason for being against RL'ing, i just, i...

I'm against it too because it isnt going to work against who it is targetting, they'll just VPN or find another way, meanwhile those from different regions who like to play on US servers, not being from there, or EU servers, get shafted.
Region locking every player to their respected region is like dropping a nuke on a symptom, it's better to drop the nuke on the cause instead of the symptom.

I like playing on US servers being from Denmark because US folks are more talkative, nothing to do with their, "superiority", compared to the other region, jeez.

Are you going to pay these admins who need to be monitoring their servers? Because i sure as hell arent. Admins and adding on an extra rule on your server, is NOT in the slightest going to help with this, it's fantasy talk and wont actually work they way you think it will, unless these admins get paid and paid good and even then it probably isnt going to work.

I really hope you're not serious about your post and that it was just a troll post, especially considering you not giving any actual solutions or anything.

Dont care, it can't be on a whole communities shoulder that you personally feel you've played with "Some great Chinese players", fair or not, cheating is a big market over there, it's a GOLD mine for game devs, Escape from tarkov figured that out, as they will just keep rebuying the game and sell their cheats, rinse and repeat, it needs to be done with once and for all.

You also said this in a different post.

After that HLL video went viral in China, no way that they even flirt with getting the game banned over there. It's also far too niche to effectively market.

So it's funny you're not giving actual solutions and are more than likely just doing a soft troll, because you can't as i've said before, actually be serious.

"just came from a round where they spawned tanks nonstop without resources" What the hell kinda hack is that?

I do this all the time. In fact, every time I deploy ;)

...sounds a hell of a lot more like a 'your country' problem than a 'the community' or 'game' problem.

It's "the community" and "the game" that set up the servers, not "the country". Of course it's "the community" or "game" problem. Or do you mean your US servers are funded by Trump?

[Zug Zug]

Last night I played on Official US West and the whole server was mostly chinese. Maybe they don't have any servers in China? I don't think they were cheating. We just couldn't communicate much.

No we don't. There are several Asia servers but some of them have even higher ping than US ones. I wonder where in Asia did they set the servers.

And believe me or not, Chinese people would like to play on Asia servers, IF possible, because the chance of meeting their own people could be higher. But number of Chinese players is way higher than the capasity of all Asia servers and it's very, very difficult to find one to join.

And sadly language barrier exists even within Asia servers. There are just too many countries in Asia that speak different languages, and very few of the people are able to speak English fluently.

Region lock China to their own servers. The other regions are fine. Block VPN IP addresses. There, you've solved the issue of Chinese players. They can, and will, buy their own servers. But like another person said here - the devs won't do this because everyone knows China is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gold mine.

This has become a massive issue just in the last week. At least a third of each server I join, and up to half of the server(s), are filled with Chinese players who don't/won't speak English. The chat is filled with Chinese characters, and if you ask them to speak in English they will mock you. Great community China brings to the table. Should also invite Brazil.

Just came from a game where they were teleporting a panther tank all over the battlefield and just running everyone over.

I had noticed a few new Chinese character names in the squad lists not not servers full of them think you might be exaggerating there.

Hahahaha LMFAO! the trolls and shills who are always on my back will be furious about all this hahaha what you describe is the HLL Community to a "T"

it's amazing how much sh*t you miss with the chat closed and Comm's disabled.

now were gonna see folk screaming for a "English Mic user only Squad notification"

It's kicking off!! better stock up on Popcorn what a start to 2021!

perhaps the most ironic thing about 3rd Party cheating software and Hacks?

most 3rd Party cheating software and Hacks are bought and paid for by Us $ bet not many people stop and thought about or gave that much thought huh

in fact most 3rd party cheat and hack software sold all over the world is paid for by Us $

lets see America sort that one out
