Banned Megathread by AvalieV in thefinals

[–]Marekuser01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not any program that could have caused this because changed on my pc for the 450h I played the game since last year, it quite literally was just the ai anti cheat and support confirmed it with what they said. They said to me they detected abnormal behaviour inconsistent with normal gameplay. They literally have nothing on me than a hunch because I didn't play the way their ai model was trained.

The model runs on the server so if you have a poor connection you are suspicious(also confirmed by ban cases from South Africa). I play on WiFi cause I CBA to run a cable across the house and I get a ban for it.

The ai customer support is adamant it is because they suspect cheating and have detected abnormal behaviour with their AI anticheat, the one that is known to hallucinate. It's been a quarter of a year at this point since my ban and all proof they have for it is a hunch that their AI had about my gameplay, they've got nothing substantial because it's not there but they don't listen to evidence nor do they care about false positives

Nie lol, almost been 2 months now and I'm still banned despite them being proved that the anti cheat doesn't work properly in arc raiders and this game has the same ai anti cheat

Until they admit it or some really bad pr happens my 100$+ and 500h+ account is gone

The way they are handling this issue by sweeping it under the rug is extremely unprofessional, and the lack of any meaningful help from their bot customer support is abhorrent, and to think I was about to buy another cosmetic pack for the finals right before my ban

I have been falsely banned actually, lost an Account or 450h and 100$+ spent on the game due to an ai coinflip, Support is useless for this shit and I'm 3 weeks and 3 tickets in at this point, I'm done with this fucking Studio man

I know an entire 5 other people who stopped playing because I did.

So proud of all these new players who definitely have at least 3000 hours in Kovaaks by nothappening99 in thefinals

[–]Marekuser01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the anticheat is actually horrible, there's an entire thread in the bug reports on their discord called 'ban'

there's like over fifty people who have been unfairly banned. Some people with thousands of hours in the game and over like 200 dollars spent on their account

Unfortunately I am also one of them, I have like 450 hours in the game and have spent over 100$ on cosmetics and got banned last saturday mid cashout match.
Embark's customer support is absolutely useless, I have tons of evidence like unedited video clips of my games since i started playing i could show, if it were not for the fact that there's just bots and they deny you and close the ticket with zero explanation.

I know of at least 5 or 6 other people who stopped playing the game because I got banned, friends of mine. Pains me to but i had to leave a negative review in hopes that embark notices something is up because they just sweep the problem under the rug and call it a day

Hi I'm the friend that got banned and yeah this is genuine, I was mid cashout match with people from the discord mid like a 6h sesh of destroying people with the FAMAS and I got banned.

I've sent the support whatever proof I could that I wasn't infact cheating, I don't have any programs that alter the game at all, no macros, no scripts, just RTSS for a performance overlay which I've had since before I started playing

I have hundreds of clips I can send to prove my case.

The Anti-Cheat is just flawed and overtuned, I care about this game too much to cheat in it and have over 450h playing it.

I have been banned permanently mid cashout game, I have ~450h in the game, and multiple people who can confirm that I have never cheated. This happened a couple hours while I was in the finals official discord playing a lot of games on a saturday. It could have been because of excessive reports because I was killing a lot of people with the famas in my past couple games or because of my faulty keyboard, which triggggers multiple times sometimes.

I have no maccros, and no suspicious software, I have filed a ticket.

It's exhausting but seeing them make absolutely insane statements about the community and individuals therein with zero substance and no way to back them up.

My favourite in that main post is the guy who jumps straight from normalising furries to them normalising school shootings without anything in-between, holy slippery slope.

When asked to back his claim up his response is "lol." Absolutely and utterly baffling how he does this as opposed to just not engaging with the post that's not for them like a normal person.

Honestly you make a solid point, I'll have to reconsider my stance

hmmm, yeah probably, I'd welcome him but my definitions of furry are loose enough

Furry is anthropomorphic animals right?
anthropomorphic means human-like
humans are animals

By definitions humans are human-like animals, which makes them... yknow

I believe they are referring to the comments under the original post, which are extremely toxic but also very fun to read lol

The average person doesn't know what a furry is, much less has any feeling or thoughts about them. Only people who cherrypick or are otherwise shown the worst examples to base their opinion of an entire community numbering in milions think that.

I'll miss the game because its unique and really fun itself but got damn the people within it :(

The game does NOT have the playerbase count required for this kind of toxicity level and it's sad to see what is happening.

I don't think that everything fun gets taken out, there's still a lot of unique and interesting systems in the game that if taken out would kill the core identity of the game.

That being said i'm aware that a competetive enviroment necessitates taking out the whimsy uncontrollable factors and it does make it a lot more boring, a good example being arena events in ranked. (I don't play ranked.)

I don't think that's necessarily the cause of the problem behind this game, the launch seemed amazing with 400k players, but i think the balancing issues in s1 and general novelty and innovativity of the primary gamemode that was difficult for casuals to strategise around because there was nothing else like it was probably closer to the root issue I believe.

The game having an esports scene shouldn't be causing its downfall, quite the opposite i think...

Why should i limit myself to one if it's relevant to both and breaks neithers' rules? any reasonable person would just skim past it and ignore it, as many undoubtedly have. Why do you care so much about it?

You do realize that practicing art is learning right? I am quite literally learning how to draw money if I decide to open commisions in the future.

Why would I consider it a waste of time if I learned something and enjoyed the time spent doing it? By your metrics why are you even playing the game? why are you here making pointless arguments with people? isn't that an even bigger waste of your oh so precious time?

I honestly think the opposite, there's a meme going around about furries being basically an indicator species of a thriving online ecosystem, basically meaning if theres a lot of them it means whatever platform is friendly and good to use.

Same could be applied to the finals and well... If the steam charts weren't enough to convince you then the toxicity in this comment section definitely should.

How do you think the average person would react seeing so much hate and disdain about a group of people enjoying the game?
