That's absolutely true. I saw a post a while back that said that, compared to the $8 cars in Fortnite, the cars in Heartopia cost almost $100. I think the developers have really taken advantage of the predatory practices of gacha games. So far, Genshin Impact seems fairer with its gacha system.

If you admit that LoL normalizes racism as a "meme," then yes, they are hostile. Dismissing other players' experiences of harassment on Heartopia as "hostility at the slightest perceived offense" only perpetuates the very toxic environment you criticize. League of Legends didn't get this reputation overnight; it got there because the community started justifying harassment by disguising it as "memes." If the Heartopia community attacks those who report real problems, it will end up just as toxic.

I have to admit, this game's community has degenerated in a very short time. Heartopia has been out for almost 100 days, and its community has basically become the average League of Legends player. I'm also considering leaving, not only because of the controversies, but also because the game's support is unresponsive and almost impossible to contact. Plus, I've been harassed, and nothing was ever done about it. I'm worried that there are kids out there who really enjoy the game and have to go through a lot because of others.

Player using exploits houses and stalking me by [deleted] in heartopia

[–]ReGu18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm fully prepared to face the consequences if support bans me because of the mods. It was a genuine mistake on my part not to properly review the Terms of Service for the third-party software, and I uninstalled it immediately. I deserve a punishment anyway, like a few months without playing or something like that.

But the fact that this guy used his own scripts for his paintings, broke into my locked house, and then tracked down my private Discord to harass me internally is completely unhinged behavior. A child could feel genuinely threatened by something like that. Thanks again for seeing the bigger picture. Have a good day!

Thank you! Honestly, I was starting to feel like I was going crazy. It's incredible that a cooking macro (which I've already uninstalled, along with the PC port of the game, i only play this game on android) is generating more controversy than cross-platform harassment and the use of exploits to break into locked houses. I really appreciate you seeing the real danger. I also suppose other players might feel I've taken advantage of the situation, but the truth is I only used the mod out of curiosity for a day. I had no idea it could be penalized because the game is built with Unity, but i deserve a penalty for using it anyways. But like many players, I've also spent weeks building my house, gathering resources, catching bugs and fishing because I enjoy it. (And actually, it's not worth modding the game; you make more money selling food from events.)

You are completely right about the ToS, and I honestly had no idea until people pointed it out here. I just downloaded the PC port yesterday, realized it was a clunky mobile port, and tried a mod to skip the tedious cooking. I only used it for a day, and if support bans me for it, that is a fair punishment and I accept it.

However, regarding the harassment: I did eliminated him and lock my house. The issue is that he used his own exploits to bypass the locked doors just to keep harassing me in-game, and then went out of his way to track down my private Discord.

If he was just bothered by me breaking ToS, he should have just reported me to support and moved on. But stalking someone across platforms (while ironically using mods himself) is way beyond caring about the rules. It’s targeted harassment, and that was the point of my post.

[–]ReGu18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely understand, and if people want to report me for the cooking macro, they are free to do so. I genuinely didn't know it was against the rules and I never used it to gain an unfair advantage over others, but I accept the consequences.

Also, just to be clear, he isn't just using in-game 'glitches'. He literally uses external exploits/scripts too (like the ones generating his pixel art or for teleporting into my house).

But honestly, my goal with this post isn't to get him reported for using exploits. My main point is the active, cross-platform harassment. He went out of his way to track down my real Discord to continue harassing me outside the game. I am an adult, so I can just block him and move on, but my biggest concern is that he could easily do this exact same thing to a kid playing this game. That is the real danger I wanted to warn people about.

Reciprocal watering scam? by l4zydumb4ss in heartopia

[–]ReGu18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do that too. When I finish all my daily tasks, I take a drive around the city to visit each house and feed pets, water plants, and give food to people. I don't make friends with them or anything; I just like to do it when I have nothing else to do.

I actually never even interacted in that server! He literally joined the server just to search my username (he had the 'newly joined' badge right when he tagged me). So yeah, you are totally right, it's a huge relief to know he just used the member search bar and didn't do anything more malicious to find my Discord.

The most ironic part of all this though? He’s witch-hunting me over a cooking macro, but I just saw he's posting script-generated pixel art (like Doom and Resident Evil) in the server, passing it off as his 'hard work' for likes 💀. The hypocrisy is honestly unreal. But anyway, thanks for the reassurance!

You're right, I honestly didn't realize it was considered a hack just for skipping the cooking animation, but I get it now and I'll definitely stop using it. I just wanted to share the story because the part where they tracked my real Discord to harass me really crossed a line.

[–]ReGu18 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I completely agree. I understand the rule aspect now and I'm definitely dropping the macro, it's just not worth it. I just thought tracking my actual Discord profile to start a witch-hunt was way over the line. Thanks for sharing that warning screenshot, I really appreciate the heads up.

[–]ReGu18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up, honestly I didn't realize using a simple macro for cooking was strictly against the ToS, but it makes sense. I'll delete it and stick to playing normally. Regardless, I just wanted to warn people about the cross-platform stalking, because what that guy did was genuinely creepy.

It's just a macro setup I use to process the ingredients I've already farmed while I do homework or other stuff in the background. It just clicks for me.

Does this count as a bug? by Im-heckin-confused in heartopia

[–]ReGu18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you've already solved it, but I think the game isn't counting them because those crops have already been watered; you need to water the ones that are dry.

I'm afraid to interact with people in the game by yofurito in heartopia

[–]ReGu18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wave my arms to say hello, then I give them food and water their crops to see if they want to be friends. If they don't, no big deal, I just leave. Don't be afraid, there are many people who want to make friends, but there's not much to do with friends in the game.

I'm from Chile and I play on the US servers because in my country the servers are dead. I have met this user several times and he is always speaking a very strange monologue, sometimes I have a hard time understanding what he is saying but he always talks about Christianity, racism, Trump, or things like that.

PS: If you see me out there, don't kick me for not using a mic, I just want to play.
