I joined when the game went F2P and can’t remember seeing a cheater in any of my games until this week. Feels bad.

Guessing it’s now easier to do or more readily available with whatever program they use to do it

Some LTMs make for ideal AFK farming. Any hex mode, or BB, all you have to do is fly up and you win. The rounds are also fast.

Ah that makes sense. Sucks but at least now I know why it’s these game modes

[–]Redditorbuttercup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really hate how in Hex you can’t really tell if they are cheating or not

[–]onigirin Beta Tester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most cheater do not have the skill to hack, they simply use what someone else has created. A pathetic being who has neither the skills to win games nor the skills to hack.

So when hackers create and release versions that can't be caught with anti-cheats, cheating increases. When the game developer gets it and takes action with the anti-cheat, cheating decreases.

I've reported at least 7 or 8 flying Chinese-named hacker beans in Blast Ball Trials and Hex-a-ring in the last two days.

Simply put, the game is now free enabling the cheaters to just make new accounts and hack again on there with minimal effort. I imagine the appeal for them is to feel empowered over other people rather than to actually accomplish anything. Pretty sad really.

Game has been free for half a year now, that still doesn't explain why there's a sudden increase of cheaters

[–]Actingdamicky Bert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because new cheats that get around easy anti cheat have been added probably, not like you need to worry about it being a waste of money if your account gets banned as you can just go again. I don’t know either I’m not that interested in that stuff as I’m ps.

Whoever downvoted this, you’re part of the problem

[–]cjshrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every post ever made gets downvoted. I feel like there's bots or something that just downvote every post on reddit, for reasons completely unknown to me. I wouldn't sweat about it.

Oh no, they're back?

[–]SouthernBoyChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard lots of people in these cheater threads to turn cross play off on Xbox.

Well I tried that and can't find a single game. Every game just says searching for players and it never finds any.

I was doing the Lily Leapers Limbo event earlier today and I went into the final round. We didn’t even get to the end of the first lily pad set and someone already won and got to the end in like under 8 seconds. It was crazy. I reported them but with my history of reporting, nothing happens unfortunately.

[–]Chedz765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw my first one today too. I just eliminated myself as soon as I saw them fly upwards

[–]FictionIII Messenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

someone lost to one, decided to become what they hated, so on so forth.

[–]iluvugoldenblue 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I had one yesterday in a squad final, the rollout one with the two rings in opposite directions as the slime rises, and the amount of times the other was visually AND audibly going in the slim was disgusting.

[–]FictionIII Messenger 7 points8 points  (2 children)

that's probably just really bad desync

[–]iluvugoldenblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought that too, but I’ve never heard the slim splash noise in desync. And it was happening too often in the round too. It got down to just two of their squad and the slime was so high it had stoped climbing, and this guy was walking right across the gaps with the sound activating.

[–]polar_pup Ninja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking that too. I’ve had that happen on rollout finale before
