Weapon damage is client side... So is vehicle speed, etc. Way to go Trion, way to go.

So can we get some sort of official dev response? Anything? Even something along the lines "We know and are working on it" would be better than complete and utter silence.

I have yet to come across any hackers. As many in the forums has stated. So it is very possible that this thread is just yet another poorly attempt to discredit Trion and the game. It is not working at all. These so called hackers are like little boys starving for attention. "Look at me see I can stand on my head." Sad and pathetic actually.

So you have mixed feelings cheating the game just cause you have clanmates who do it?

This is Trion's fault but this stuff needs to be fixed last week. I don't care if someone only adds 1% extra damage to their gun, it still gives an unfair advantage and one of the many reasons why PvP is currently a joke.

How is it Trions fault? People will find a way to cheat and hack no matter what. Is it WoW fault that they have hackers? Is it EVE fault that they have hackers? Is it LOTR fault that they have hackers? Is it EVERY MMO out there fault that they have hackers.

A lot of people seem to have this "I've never seen it so it doesn't exist" attitude. Trion are stupid for having client side damage - that's not up for debate and it's not an attempt to discredit them. It's just a fact.

Can't enjoy Arkfalls when everything dies in one second from a guy running around in a circle with an SMG one-shotting everything and you can't enjoy PvP when you die from a stray bullet from across the map either. Until they start handing out permanent bans to these cheaters it's just going to get worse and worse as more people do it.

Lol yeah, I know. But I would hate to lose some of these people to a ban. We chat a lot on TS and run a lot of co-op's together. Plus completing some of the pursuits is a lot more viable when someone on your team no longer has to reload.

I think Trion should fix this issue and give everyone that took advantage of it a clean slate. After all making damage client side doesn't exactly discourage cheating.

I have mixed feelings about this because a lot of my clan mates use the damage hacks to aid them a bit. Nothing extreme, but enough to make the game a bit easier.

I wonder how Trion will catch people the only bump up their minimum damage to be closer to their max, as well as give themselves unlimited ammo so they don't have to reload.

Have a few in my clan that have been using these since launch, and they are still not banned, while some of the ones that made their weapons do damage over their maximum have been hit with a 24 hour ban.

hehe i wonder how your clanmates will feel about you outing them to trion?

Again I have yet to experience this. And I have been playing since beta and STILL loving the game.

He might get yelled at once they get back from their 24 hour bans.

Congratulations on having yet to experience it; that must take a lot of effort to do. Regardless I too love the game... but like I said it's not fun when cheaters run rampant. It's Trions fault for having no anti-cheat system and for client-side statistics.

Well I didn't really out anyone, and I'm posting from a public library while doing my research here. Just got bored of reading and decided to come check out these forums.

good news everybody! he hasn't experienced it, so this is obviously false. we can go ahead and close the thread and go back to playing now! only one problem. we apparently cant like the game, AND expect improvements. that would just be inconceivable.
