tremulous is dieing because of hax
« on: December 06, 2008, 09:44:02 am »
ok i for 1 am completely fed up with playing a game full of wallhax and botters, i have been playing this game for almost 2 years now and ive seen the numbers of players drasticly decrease because of the hacking, and then again if you are a genuinly good player and are not botting you get votekicked anyway, and aall these people on here keep bitching about n00b players, without a few nubs on every server who would be there? most of the actually good players dont play anymore, and the few that do are few and far between. i frequent the skittlez server almost daily and have accounted damn near everyone in that server cheating, and have made demos of most of them, yet the server admins do nothing, what better way to discourage a newbie joining the game then dretching against 5 human botters, and if you say anything to the admins even if they know the person is cheating, they still do nothing, and generally i get called a liar for saying so. it doesnt take a rocket scientist to spec someone boting and figure it out. if they use a rifle and unload 90 rounds (3clips) into the same goon, (and into multiple other aliens that happen to run by) without missing a single shot its VERY obvious, whats even more screwed up is most of the people playing that use bots on that server have low pings (lagged), so if they were any kind of player at all they should really kick ass without one. i average 70-100kills a game aliens or humans on that server and my ping is never below 150, and i only get 10-15fps at times because of spammed rets and tubes. ive only recently found out several clans (entire clans) that are all aimbotters, Sorry [opp] for busting your balls, but i happened into [opp]ressed the other day and there were 7 of their clan members there setting up different weapons for use with thz4.1, and im not even gonna say im all godlike and havent used a bot, i frequently go into t arena and bot my ass off, but to cheat in a game where its not needed is ridiculous. and some of you are probably saying well why dont you go to a different server. 1 not to many lagged servers, 2 i dont like unlagged(even nubs rock at unlagged, and theres nothing more annoying than being a naked human and having a rant attack you from accross the map) 3, ive actually had aliens that i was behind while im staring directly at their ass (rants)attack me, its ridiculous. i guess what all this rant is about is the fact i think the dev team should focus a little more on keeping hackers out of the game, instead of adding a flying alien class or a dodge ability for humans. tbh i havent played in over 3 months just because of this fact, all i do now is join and watch people cheat. i hate to say it guys but if something isnt done about it this game will end up along with a large list of other fps's that are dead because of the same reasons. personally i love this game, always have, and used to play it about 15 hours a day. i havent lost any interest in it at all (not like im bored) but its just very frustrating when you see three people of a clan come into a server, and BAM suddenly the game is onesided because they all cheat, and to apollo and your numurous posts on being banned etc, dont fucking cheat, just because you host a subdomain dedicated to tremulous videos doesnt mean your above the rules. and to all the rest of you people on here that bot, grow a sack and learn to play without one, or please just stop playing

You acknowledge that the admins are capable of handling the problem, but aren't, then go on to blame the devs.

Play on better servers with admins that give a damn.

What do you think should be done, exactly?

why do anything.

whatevers done in the main trem svn will be bypassed within a day. the only way to deal with hackers/botters is with admins. your blaming the wrong guys

@OP: Don't play on stupid servers. Those are where all the noobs go, and that attracts griefers and lamers. Also, not every good player is an aimbotter — they're probably just way better than you.

Uh, dude, the problem with you is you play on lagged noob servers. Like those UBP servers. Try playing on a server that's remotely sensible (AA, NT, OPP, AoD, vR, D*S, DT, RK Unlagged) and learn how all the *PROS* play the game. I play on all of those servers. Those are the ONLY servers I play on. I haven't seen an aimbot or a wallhacker in MONTHS.  (Err, come to think of it, I saw a guy spamming a funlily bind once..)

Also. Your statement of [OPP] aimbotting is full of shit. [OPP] isn't even the one of the best clans anymore, due to their inactivity. But they are still decent, good people. Play there.  Play on the |AoD| and NT| servers. I will PERSONALLY help you.


Now don't go and say the game is FULL of hacks. Because if you even remotely play on a good server, you will see nearly none.

By your own admission, you also bot from time to time. Therefore, shutup hypocrite.
Oh, and the AA server sucks. I was banned for several days for 'camping at s1' and also calling an admin 'juvenile' because he kicked me for camping. Of course, the 'juvenile' bit wasn't in the ban message.

i never said it was any of the devs fault , and just because i bot on t arena doesnt amount to shit when no ones there , and if you want to ask [opp] yourself they openly admit they bot and planned to bot against some AA guys during their next scrim. Mars,War,Revi,Scotty aka Angry Scotsmen and a few others, and to everyone else that said go play on other servers, did you not read what i said? i fucking hate unlagged its moronic to say the least, and i also didnt place BLAME on any dev for the game being completely full of hax, i just said i think if they wanted the game to grow to do something about it. i couldnt count on 4 sets of hands how many friends i've told about this game, that have started playing and then suddenly stopped because they cant even learn to play, if their nubs and feed once or twice their kicked, if they suddenly get better cuz they bot like 90% of the rest of the fucking community they get kicked anyway this game is kind of a lose lose situation for everyone

[OPP] does NOT aimbot.

I'd suggest that you help your friends find their way to servers that aren't shit, but as you seem to have a problem finding those servers yourselves, perhaps not. It would sound more like your problem is your hatred of unlagged which narrows down your server choices considerably. Move to Europe. They have more not-unlagged servers. :)

As some of you may have seen before it was moved or deleted. Someone disagreed with my decision to lock this topic and created an entirely new topic to state this. The reason of disagreement was that he did not see how this thread was not feedback. Alas, what i see here is indeed not really feedback.
First of all it isn't in quite an enticing format to read. No worries though, this does not mean it has no value in this forum. However, once one actually starts reading one can see that this is your basic whine. The thread then proceeds onwards to a flamefest.
As such rules, and since khalsa was so nice to actually number them and all, 3, 6, with an aftertouch of 10 and a lack of 14 apply. I hope everybody understands my reasons and that you enjoy your stay. If not, tough luck.

I’m busy. I’ll ignore you later.
