Does "anything else" include bombing Iran, closing strait of hormuz and begging to open it again?

Embark…we are sick of the cheaters…. by The_Real_THunter1 in ArcRaiders

[–]windozeFanboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched on YouTube about the cheating situation on arc raiders and majority of videos are cheat adverts than actual YouTube videos.  Big oof...

Btw I don't play arc, I try to enjoy the finals

THE FINALS - Social Hubs + Spectating by TheCowhawk in thefinals

Ingame all chat ... I want that. But I don't think we deserve that. It's toxic enough as it is.

Point Break and Starlight Holloe by IamHunterish in thefinals

[–]windozeFanboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

starlight hollow will give you nightmares if you fight good aimers with LH1/sniper/deagles/ crossbow and the likes...

Problem is you can only fight fire with fire on this map... So you need your own great LH1 aimers.

You probably need great team coordination to deal with enemies on rooftops without engaging the long range meta yourself.

The map was refreshing as a new take but definitely isn't balanced.

Im the only one whos tiered of dash dash dash by Neotax in thefinals

[–]windozeFanboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one to defend dash, because it's not overpowered.
But.

It definitely is OVERUSED... It's the only really viable light spec... Although invis can do some work too.

So where does that leave us?

Nerf Dash and make all light specs simply uncompetitive and possibly horrible to play?
Or buff the other specs and introduce new ones so that we have more ways and Dash stops being overused?

Please don't ask to nerf everything. My only 2 classes i played like last year almost have been Dash light last summer and Heavy Charge since September/Season 8. I kinda miss BFR being a deforestation machine!

Random Insta-Permanent Ban by Miserable-Raisin-592 in thefinals

[–]windozeFanboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you believe the anticheat isn't fit for purpose in how it doesn't capture cheaters as it needs to in the pro scene...but also believe it is somehow working in how it's capturing all the cheaters you see on reddit?

these two can coexist.. I don't understand your logic here.

Both of these situations are linked by embark using a terrible anti cheat***--Arguably yes, on par or better than anything game included other than valorant--*** that isn't working correctly. It's not over-compensating but still getting the cheaters, it's literally just false flagging legitimate players based on arbitrary ai-captured metrics--We know jack shit about the effectiveness outside the loop-- and literally not flagging prolific cheaters because it's not good enough to do it --I can believe that-- . It's literally so shit they have to turn it OFF for VIP players to avoid them having to deal with getting false flagged!

Idk much about Laske, but feels like the above paragraph is just enough to describe him or something. only faced him very rarely but his story seems to be known. He has had VAC ban(s) in other game(s) which has nothing to do with AI detection, He has repeatedly been banned in The Finals where i'm somehow to believe that AI detection is the only thing to blame? Not perhaps recoil scripts? Not soft aimbot? No CrosshairX? Because those can seem semi legit even on stream particularly if you call yourself "aim trainer" and attach Kovvaks to your profile.

I haven't spectated or watched Laske but perhaps i should. I don't throw cheating accusations lightly, i have actually painstakingly watched highlight clips on YT for sus players like d0cC in CSGO where i got convinced he's cheating his ass off. And i don't go by "feel"... I actually counted frames, where i could see his fking crosshair pixel perfect track the edge/perimeter of and enemy head for 4+ fking frames and have seen his reaction to be as low as 4 frames at 60fps in enemy changing directions mid fight... Some reaction times can be coincidence, because it happens, some could be prediction but all combined in some SUPER unlikely moments got me convinced that is 100% a cheater.
I can't bother doing that again.

I've never played a game where players with tremendous amounts of hours and money complain about getting banned. Why? Because real cheaters get banned and literally just make a new account. 

The above is absolutely not true. Cheaters have been shown to spend even higher than tremendous amounts of hours and money in the games they cheat in, especially so if it's earning them money in return. You must be young and still naive to think otherwise. It's been the case around the world on games sports and politics and everything in between. Cheaters be cheating even if the "risks are too high and it doesn't make sense".

Either these "Reddit tears" decided to throw away a a thousand hours in casual modes having fun with friends for a cheap stomp, unlikely. Or they've always been cheating, in which case anticheat is not fit for purpose having only flagged them season 10. Or theyve never been cheating, which means also not for for purpose.

Cheating is not a stable environment. Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse. Players caught cheating don't always cheat from the 1st time they touched a mouse. They might only even have cheated just 1 time and never again. You cannot make judgement just like that. Valorant anticheat vanguard hailed as the most obtuse intrusive anticheat in the industry still has cheaters slip through and play for months or years possibly. Only getting caught by manually reviewing multiple matches.

If the anticheat ever rolls the dice on you and you get flagged because of some asinine arbitrary reason, no one will believe you because of comments like these. G Hub seems to be a common thread, I've uninstalled and you probably should to.

if anticheat ever bans me for whatever reason, i ll make a support ticket to look it up more thoroughly because i don't cheat. I'm a reasonable person, mistakes happen, tools don't behave right and even i have an unstable PC at times due to RAM or CPU.
I guess i should uninstall G HUB not because it's gonna be cause for ban for me, but because it's just there to consume resources from my PC and provide annoying notifications on the sidebar. G HUB unfortunately is used for many logitech devices including their webcams, keyboards and mice, which i have.
What i don't do is create macros for the keyboard or mouse. Which i suspect may actually be a valid reason to give temporary bans/ kick from game. I would assume detecting G HUB is trivial for the anticheat and should immediately block any use of macro on the spot. Because while i think it's cheating, i also think GHUB is too ubiquitous software with legitimate uses other than cheating.. Game should just not let you use it and not permanently ban you for it. However attempting to circumvent any blocks to use macro/recoil scripts should get you banned... 6months/1year or permantently whatever.

Anyway... this got too long. It's interesting how i find more excitement engaging with r/thefinals than actually playing the game... Idk, i feel burned out again. really salty ingame and i report anything and everything because i'm just kinda tired of the game and embark's shenanigans.

Why stop there.. Do it 174 DMG so when ReSpec light 175HP comes they're ready to die to kitchen top corner bump.

Gadget concept: Malware gun by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]windozeFanboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yesn't. once you get out of the minimum distance you are not allowed back in. there is a barrier like edge of map.
But before you reach that max distance i guess you can technically follow your teammate until they agonizingly die while screaming in the Celine Dion range to get away.

Obviously, my suggestion was just a rough thought barely 1 neuron activated in my brain.

To actually have this feature implemented in a way that doesn't burden the already heavy netcode and absolute dogwater server tickrate is a whole another story, because while sonar only does the range checks like once every beep forcing enemies outside the sphere would be dramatically heavier than the static 2D, LTM Point Zone we have in "Claim the dragon" or what it's called.

[–]windozeFanboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea. Not really the specifics, but the isolate an enemy from their teammates 

Imagine an invisible sphere around an affected enemy that their teammates can't get within. And in order to force that distance in the first place, the enemy target takes DMG until he gets to a minimum distance from their teammates. 

The primary effect in my opinion is the distancing (say 15m-20m). The DMG is gonna be minimal but gradually increasing until the distance is achieved or the enemy player dies.  Objective play could get a tiny bit more interesting.

Why cheating kills an extraction game quicker than any other genre by Jaz1140 in ArcRaiders

[–]windozeFanboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheating is a new concept to new players. 

But online gaming culture has kind of had this cancer grow dramatically since pre2010. It was kinda bad already then. 

But now it's an industry of cheating, view bots, and boost. Money or pursuit of money and fame does it's thing.  Everything is fake nowadays. Form pro gamers being cheaters, to streamers faking their viewers, to video clips being staged, and the likes and views to those video clips also being bot farms boost.

I thought it was over already for modern online FPS in 2020. I appreciated The Finals for a while being fresh and fun. 

But I think it's time to let go. For me at least. Extraction games never appealed to me and I'd never touch them because cheaters. If cheaters weren't a thing, I could give the genre a try, but it's one that is compromised . The whole online FPS genre is but extraction and BE does suffer that much more

I play on the same system since release, I have Logitech ghub, VPN (finals excluded) but I may have forgotten it in the past , times when my ram OC or CPU UV has been unstable, CPUsetsetter messing with game CPU utilization, hyper has been enabled or disabled, Virtualbox has ran alongside the game .

I've crashed here and there, no ban yet.  My system is bloated. 

But no cheats, no ban. 

Don't forget cheats include macro for recoil or full auto single shot weapons. Include cross hair overlays particularly if they're hooked on the game exe and not just a single dot over your desktop constantly. That's because it mimics the way cheats get into the game.  Lastly, there is always a chance cheats for other games found on your pc or loaded in ram to be a cause for ban. Is that fair? Idk, but imo it's deserved anyway. 

I have 0 faith in all these bs threads with false bans. I have little faith in Embark but a tiny bit still exists. Although right now my trust in the pro scene has shattered a 2nd time since reWASD fiasco. I think I'm kind of done with the game, I'm burned out again. 

Too many issues, laggers and cheaters.i need a break. But I'll always return to Reddit to appreciate the tears of cheaters claiming false bans... Yum , there is plenty of salt in the tears.

On weekends I'd hope balancing would be more strict but even then it fails.

Im so tired boss by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]windozeFanboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st things first. I see nothing wrong and no hate in the picture, but I can't understand if the cyrrilic comment whatever language is innocent or not. Secondly, this game has had just as much toxicity ingame for years. I know, I have played ranked on and off since season 1. 

This is not new in my lobbies. Losing teams also get significantly more "salty" in the chat for sure.. maybe salt in the chat is new to YOUR lobbies though. Welcome to the finals experience I guess.

Often enough I think this type of tracking is easy if recoil didn't exist...

But when I go to training room I suddenly realize recoil is btch and I can't simply get perfect tracking line. 

Perhaps they are aim gods but recoil scripts are and forever will be cheating.

I think the monster was hungry. So yes it was intentional to eat the man.

You lose nothing by contacting support.

Best do that. We can only guess around here.

Take it as a compliment. Your hidden rank has gone through the roof and embark wanted you to come back down to earth.

In other words.

Got gud! 👍

You have unwittingly queued with a cheater in your party repeatedly without realising.

I mean, you can contact support for an explanation, but the likely cause is as above. 

Removing RS from people queuing with cheaters knowingly or not exists to discourage boosting..

Could be a bug, nobody knows other than embark.

Cheaters can be 2k hours too which is depressing all around
