In the past 4 days of my returning to pvp (sg fix and splash potions) I have noticed there have been multiple upon multiple hackers. Whether it be forcefield, to xray, to bow aimbot, they have been happening in SG the most and there was even an obvious forcefield kill in my stream earlier this evening. This needs to be stopped, now. People seeing that it is this easy and safe to hack will make them think that they can go do it and will just make the situation much worse then it already is. The only way to do it is by dedicating a few staff members to pvp, give them /vanish to spy on these hackers and catch them, then immediately ban them. I have sprung out to many staff members about getting rid of these hackers and only 1 had an ounce of interest in catching them (you know who you are, thanks for trying). I am fed up with this and it needs to be stopped, if you have any ideas feel free to comment and i'll edit them into here!
I agree. It is completely BS how a bunch of people feel they can forcefield and use hacks without there being any consequences.
I dont feel we need an entire new rank. Honestly there is a 75% chance Andrew comes here and says; "I am fine with how staff handle my server" Take a video, post a complaint. If said user is hacking Kuke or Unknown will warrant them the acceptable punishment.
I personally, don't see the point in this? We already have a strong staff team, why add more staff rank(s) when we have the staff already?
I don't feel a different rank is necessary, however, allowing certain staff to use those types of commands in PvP might help. Seeing as the PvP world disables ALL commands, having ones like /fly /god and /vanish available to certain staff in pvp might help this.
Its easier said then done most users either dont have software to record or they lag to much when recording
^, If I record, I will have to edit my video since it will show my personal details, and in order to edit my video, I have to open up my editting software which takes 1 hour to load up all the previous videos, at least 12 hours to import the video, having 5 fps for the whole time the video is being imported. Then I have to edit the video with 1 fps due to the massive amount of previous videos which cannot be deleted which I have, this will also result in me crashing multiple times while editing the video, and finally when the video is done editting, I have to export it as the 'share on youtube' thing doesn't work. Exporting takes a good 5 hours and by the time I do all these, the hacker would probably already have had his fun on the server pvping and left.
+1 upon leaving for a few months ive returned and noticed several hackers in pvp and sg including auto clicker and forcefield it isnt fair that they can get away with this and there gaining alot of money since prot iv is selling alot more then it used too i dont think we should add a whole new rank but staff should be more interested in watching pvp to prevent alot of the hacking/slandering that goes on there adding /vanish /fly /godmode for mods or smods+ would be great and would allow them to monitor pvp battles and chat without being killed/noticed a hacker isnt going to fight with nodus when a mod if right behind him.....but if there vanished its a whole dif story.
New staff ranks arent needed. But, having some staff occasionally watching sg matches, justhow they watch spawn, sounds more realistic.
I personally feel that the way staff handle possible situations where a user is believed to be hacking does in fact need to be changed, specifically in SG. I feel that staff should be able to spectate or at least be able to vanish and follow suspected hackers. That being said, creating a new staff position solely for investigating these suspected hackers is not the right solution. Staff are already very busy and creating a position such as this would require staff to be specifically trained or at least experienced in recognizing when a user uses hacked clients.
New position: not warranted Rules in place: woefully ineffective Burden of proof: insanely too high People crying "OMGHAX": every time they lose People actually hacking: most definitely
Staff to watch the PvP and SG worlds would be nice... Currently there are TWO staff members who are suppose to handle hacking complaints... They are also game admins which just means more work for them, mods who know what they're doing and can help stop these hackers would be nice. EDIT: I wasnt saying kuke or unknown don't help/know what they are doing, I meant more PvP staff who are like them.
We already kind of have these although they aren't classified as [PvP Mod] kukelekuuk00 and UnknownRider already deal with anything involving and sort of complaint regarding hacking so I don't think this would be really needed.
We don't need staff to do this, as PVP is not the main focus on the server. I would suggest having radthorne or some other minecraft account similar to radthorne be set up recording at the PVP arenas. don't know. mods should be able to /vanish in the PVP tbh, so if you see a hacker pm them and they could perhaps check it out and record it for you.
