invading is pointless in the new update, to many cheaters and matcmaking not working

@morknag said in invading is pointless in the new update, to many cheaters and matcmaking not working:

I have played the game since the beginning, i love this game in all its worth, this update is pointless.

Sorry you feel that way.

I'm an average decent player and I do decently in pvp and pve.
with this update I only encounter player who have the new curse, player who have sunk over 100+ ships, I'm not even over 40 sinks.

Most of the players with the curses I've encountered aren't very good. Also, it takes way more than 100 sinks to get the curse.

with matchmaking it should not be possible to matchmake with some one who have 50. 100. 200. 1000+ more sinks than you.

Correct, that is why Rare is trying to fix it.

my biggest problem with this update right now is that most of the reapers (cant speak for the Athena) are ONLY sitting WAITING around smuggler's bay, and in the devil's roar. they only need to sit there wait, and they pelt player who spawns and win every time. most of the time I'm on 0 streak or 1 streak and I get matched with champions. being a fresh spawn in the fight it should not be possible for a player who is not champion to matchmake with champions

I've encountered one Champion as a Champion. Also, I have never once seen anyone camping at Smuggler's Bay or Devil's Roar. I feel like this is heavily exaggerated.

ANOTHER problem with this update is an INCREASE with people using double gun WITH MACRO, Macro being an 3rd party software, for your computer, mouse or keyboard who lets you push multiple combinations of keys with one key, according to xbox Terms of usage that is not allowed, but more and more people are using it, EVEN SOT Partners are using macros

The macro works in a way where it SKIPS ANIMATION so they are able to handle the combat faster (Allows them to aim before they can fire), making it harder for non cheating or xbox players to deal with them. in the beginning of this game, even in its early states it was not possible to use two fire arms because of a glitch they did a quick fix to keep it.

It is nigh impossible to tell if someone is using a macro. Remember, it's not hard to animation cancel. I do it accidentally all the time. My sweaty friend does it on purpose, but he doesn't use macros. You have to remember that many people have animation cancelled for a long time. It's become habit for many of them. So much so that they don't even have to think about it, they just do it.

the glitch in the beginning of the game was for example, you could spawn with two sniper, no weapons, or two swords and so on.
they fixed it with a quick fix, telling the code for example "if blunderbuss" "then sword or pistol" ruling out the problem they had, later problem become when people started using macros to cancel reload animation and pulling up animation, to get an edge in the game, they did somewhat fix it, but not completely.

Okay. Again, I feel like you are heavily exaggerating the issues you face.

there are still people AND PARTNERS using macro so they can shoot with a blunder, mid air and before landing swap to a sniper/pistol and still hit you, making it no room for you to escape or survive.

Yeah, you don't need to quick swap for that. I do it all the time.

with this update there is an increase of cheaters/cheesers and they are getting the reward people are fighting for.

There certainly is, but it's not this big an issue.

I'm fighting for Athena 'cos I want the ghost curse, but its impossible to get it because almost no reapers invade because they know they will lose with out there cheesy strats. and invading as an athena you get trashed on with cheaters/champions/sweetlords and alliances. why is this not being addressed by the devs or moderators of this game. again I love this game, and I want to see it survive, but cheaters and exploiters are winning, pushing the casual and decent players away from the game

Reapers (and Athenas) don't invade because almost no one is defending. Most of those who do defend are new players who have no idea what the hour glass does or alliances which, I need to point out, are both Reapers and Athenas. Your side isn't any better than the other. In my whole time playing this game, I've encountered one cheater using ESP. Once. In Arena. Over a year ago.
Both sides face the same issues. There isn't one issue exclusive to a side. Both Reapers and Athenas face the same issues.

recently today I got one shot by a sniper by a pirate, and i did hear the shot, the shot was from a sniper, but the pirate was holding a blunderbust, they can swap weapon faster than the game and animation allows, and they don't have the pull up animation like you normally would have

I'm sorry, but that's literally impossible and I've yet to see videos of cheaters of YouTube doing this.

i just called out a streamer for using macro and there chat blamed me for not being good enough to cancel animation, using an exploits in the game system to be able to fight, saying something like this "you even animation cancel bro?" "shoot, swap guns, slight pause, tap sprint, aim, shoot. its not hard" from what i did read in both xbox and SoT terms of ussage, its not allowed to use exploits like that

I don't see people being banned for quick swapping. Besides, how do you know he was using a macro? You don't. If you want any TDM montages from the time of Arena, you'll see that they didn't need to think about quick swapping.

why is this explot still a thing

Because Rare has other priorities.

@burnbacon read before commenting, you only leve comments on every post you can to get a point in your forum profile, read the post then awnser it.

Burnbacon certainly does not do that. No one does. That's a stupid thing to say.

if not stop responding to every post you see, your not helping the community, stop trolling

I'd say that he is helping. He usually provides a different perspective to the greater community. It's quite interesting, tbh.

Strewth! The amount of exaggeration and nonsense in the quoted posts above is staggering! 🤦‍♂️

with matchmaking it should not be possible to matchmake with some one who have 50. 100. 200. 1000+ more sinks than you

Why not? What if you have 40 wins, 50 battles and your opponent has 100 wins, but 200 battles? It's the win/lose ratio that matters, not the actual count.

I agree a little bit tho - when you have a low amount of battles your rating is probably not accurate. You could be bad player and win 10 out of 10 by pure luck and randomness.
