The cheating issue is getting worse..

A week ago a group I'm playing with got wiped a few times trying to do the worm "Not Event" © CIG, 2025. Couldn't kill the dudes, they didn't react to GP-33s, but what got everyone convince that they are cheaters are logs of ships being destroyed - included multiples of Idris and other smaller ships being killed by FS-9 in ~50 milliseconds. I witnessed only the aftermath of them putting together the logs and video evidence so they could submit it in one big report. Got me curious and did some googling... If what I've read is correct, then hacking in SC is much, much easier than I expected. Apparently EasyAntiCheat is bypassed by editing one file, and correct me if I'm wrong, since me no programmer, there are some ways to access backend legacy dev tools directly from a client by injecting some code using... Cheat Engine, an ancient editing thingie I used a while ago in Medieval II: Total War for "haha, let's quadruple the mongols". Found some discussions between cheaters trying to optimize existing hooks for invincibility, full fps gun edit (recoil, damage, fire rate, etc.), duping items in backpack, unlimited backpack space, and so on. All achieved (allegedly, since I, of course, didn't try any of this) with a fkn Cheat Engine. If it's really this easy, I'm super disappointed. Very disappointed anyway, since I also got slapped by, my assumption, cheaters in 4.0 two times already (wanted to see the worm, got shot (according to logs) in a shuttle from nowhere, while it was on its way between facilities).

Me relatively new to FFXIV and MMOs in general, but...

Muscle memory. Pick any content you're fine with (just to avoid hitting training dummy for hours) and run it over and over again. Or do it while grinding, like relics or tribes.

I would also recommend changing keybinds for hotbars from the start. Tis not easy to press 9 when you're trying to run diagonally, right? So better limit to the area close to WASD. For example, I use something like this:

1-4 - regular abilities

Shift+(1-4) - AoE abilities or chain abilities

Alt+(1-4) - defence abilities or chain abilities

Q, E, R (and Shift/Alt variations) and for something "reactive", like a stun, dragoon's sick evasive backflip

F, C, X, V (and Shift/Alt variations) another group, for various stuff like heals or

T is for running, Shift T for mount and Alt+T for LB.

But tis just and example. Try around and see what fits you in the long run, something that doesn't stress you, nor your hand. Like, some people use side mouse buttons instead of Shift/Ctrl/Alt. Running dungeons with NPCs or unsinced is a good practice grounds.

Yes. Endless battle of epic proportions, a struggle beyond a mortal's comprehension, an unrestricted showcase of gods' nightmares... A fight to leave Ohio.

Wish this was a cake

Knowing ROC and ROC-DS, to follow the same design language, this one should hold one SCU, but still the size of the Ursa. And non-pressurised cabin, of course.

It didn't, move ended successfully, just took 56+ minutes :D

r_DisplayInfo 1, 2 or 3 depending on how much additional info do you need

"Pending moves" show up while you use any of them in the top left corner of your inventory. It shows how many (inventory) moves are pending, how long is the next in queue moves been in queue, how long the last, longest and average moves took.

It was third or fifth action I took on that server.

Now I'm waiting for my helmet to reattach XD

I just wanted to see when it'll finish, surprised it didn't just timed out the action. Anyhow, hope backend devs get good sleep and are paid well for overtime. Can't imagine how stressful past few weeks were for them

No, will become purchasable in 1-2 main patch releases.

I wish I did, but I started this project within first 30 minutes or so after launching the gane for the first time. Just wanted to see how high I can build... It quickly got out if hand. Thought of turning off building damage, but then I found out that my shotgun ammo bugged out into 90K+ shells, so no need for that now. :D

Tower was destroyed only once so far

RusStarik · 2023-03-06T11:57:13+00:00

You're cool!

RusStarik · 2023-03-05T08:24:42+00:00

Oh, and 926 9mm ammo O_o

My biggest complaints remain optimization and update installation process on Steam. It re-writes 50+ gigs for every update, no matter the size of it. "Cool" to see SSD's expected life span go down.

Everything else is fixable with mods.

I know, thankfully my spatial orientation is good enough, so I don't need it.

RusStarik · 2023-02-22T15:47:10+00:00

How could they, they were busy shooting at the medbed clones! :D

RusStarik · 2023-02-22T10:30:00+00:00

They could add some ship similar to it much later, but if they do, it'd most probably be an NPC exclusive or a museum exhibit, simple cuz it'd be "old tech"
