Hacks Already Out

[Vidarr]

I've just been in a PVP match and a 790 rated guy got 24 kills (on waterfront) with a heavy scatter gun I'm a 1800 rated fully tank spec who's played hundreds upon hundreds of pvp match's with some absolutely amazing pvpers and not one of them has been able to 1 shot me its been a drawn out shotgun slugfest but yeah 1 shotted off a gun that was green under 500 rated is bollocks not even a sniper round to the head could do that proof was stuck up in the issue part

Was it a sawn off by any chance? They can 1 shot you.

Having the big cheat companies make cheat for a game is good, means the game is big/good enough to work on it

Cant wait for the first topic of someone who's being banned, wasted 60 bucks on the game and felt he needed to cheat

xbox has hacks or is it called mods... for get... try it on friend xbox to many cheaters... compare to pc... just no fun play pvp maps any more

for the XBOX you would need to mod Your XBOX and the moment you Connect to XBOX Live, Microsoft will detect the modded XBOX and bans it from the network.
It would mean you will have to fork out cash to buy a New XBOX, which is considerably more then having to buy/create a New account in an Online PC game.

So the treshold for hacking on a console is considerably higher then on PC!

One of the big First Person Shooter hacker websites has already released a hack package for Defiance. Other sites are going to soon follow.

I hope during the design phases of this FPS MMO/SyFy TV Series that Trion and others put thought into how they were going to defeat the rampant hacks associated with their game.

I was planning on picking up this game with the hopes of playing a fun FPS MMO, but after seeing on the net that hacks are already out, I'll hold off on buying into Defiance until Trion shows that they are going to be proactive about this.

Trion what are your plans for these FPS hacks being used in Defiance? (and I hope your only solution isn't to try to sweep this news under the rug by deleting this thread)

Since when game never have hacks. Even WoW have speed hacker.

That is entirely untrue. You do not need a modded Xbox to cheat, at all. Sorry if I go off topic, but cheating on the xbox not only doesn't need a modded xbox, but the only franchise that will get you banned is Forza. (Personally I have been banned from Forza Horizon until 2032... lol ) It is a simple matter of hex editing and modding the save. I save edit almost every game I play simply because I think it is fun. HOWEVER... I do not cheat a game in multiplayer, (except for Dead Island.. but that's because I ran around giving out money and XP plants.) because just because I like having infinite money or ammo or lives or whatever in my games does not mean other people do. I cheat for my satisfaction, not to ruin the game for others. I do not play PvP anyway for the most part, but I still wouldn't. It is a game. It is about fun, not just about winning. Stupid leaderboards encourage these actions.. I simply don't care.

Secondly, cheating on Defiance on the 360 is rather difficult. Why? I am glad you asked. The save that the 360 gamer would have to edit is not stored on the HDD, but on Trion's servers. Meaning the normal save editing or hex editing process is not applicable because the save is not attainable. The second way to cheat on something like this would be through GPD editing. However, aside from Borderlands 2 for Golden Keys, any time of GPD editing is very obvious and will get you banned from Live really quick. Of course, it is the console ID that gets banned, not the gamertag, so the easy solution is to purchase or otherwise acquire another 360, but I digress.

Sorry if that was a bit off topic, but this poster was absolutely wrong on that information. I'm saying that in an insulting way by any means, just saying it was entirely untrue.

BTW ... Cheating is great for soloplay and can add a lot of fun, but I agree with the rest of you about hacking / cheating in multiplayer.

well in that video the person above posted, it says in big red letters use at your own risk, which means whoever made it is fully aware that Trion will actively try to stop and ban hackers when caught. That is the difference between a game like this and other games, Trion has a pretty good reputation they built with Rift, I doubt they are going to jeopardize that by not aggressively going after hackers.

With that said, no matter how hard they push, and how hard they work at it, a few hackers will always get through, typically a few days after each patch or update to the anti-hack the sites will update their software to bypass the anti-hack.

it's unfortunate that people feel the need to cheat in games, it's really the biggest blight on current gens. It's one thing to give yourself a bunch of crap in a single player game, it's another to cheat in an online game.

If you know of a hack, submit the link and any info to the defiance support. They will patch it and make the hack useless, while banning anyone who uses it.

If the next gen xbox IS online only it will making hacks a bit more interesting lol! Hopefully it will put an end to it. Can't stand cheaters.
