Action Taken Towards Players Using Modified v3.0 Client

Kaz · February 8

In version 3.0 of No Man's Land, there was a number of players that installed and used a special modified version of application client on their devices, in order to get unfair advantage over other players.

After collecting the analytics reports of players using it, we fixed and closed this breach in version 3.1. We want to promote fairness in competition for all of our players, and this kind of hack provided clear unfair benefits in combat for players using it, which we cannot tolerate. So we took an action this situation: the players who were caught using this, have been banned today. Current ban is issued for 2 weeks; if the players are caught using other similar unfair means again, a permanent ban will be issued in that case.

We cannot provide more concrete information than this, such as which players were banned or what kind of specific client hack was used here, but we are monitoring the situation with it, and will be continuing so in the future. We would like to remind that any other possible offence of fair play in No Man's Land will be treated accordingly, and we want to give a warning that players spotted will end up in the same situation.

AWESOME!

(IMO they got off lightly)

Even though I don't know the extent of the advantage or benefits that resulted, it seems like a slap on the wrist.
I will be taking a look at the the Guild Wars leader board on Monday.

Did someone modify my game client to make me terrible?

SCBMA · February 8

People deliberately hacked the game to gain a clear advantage and the punishment is just a warning with a 2 week ban? Boot their asses from the game permanently.

Excellent! 🙌🏻

I’ve always suggested putting the game on the Skynet system. I don’t see how having NML become self-aware would ever come back to hurt us.

For those of us not use this hack, during this 2 week period, can we can get oh...let's say...an increase chance of radios event in every crate, with an increase number of radios? Just thought I'd ask.

TJS · February 8

It should be....

Pic · February 8

Should be permanently. I can see a ban for a cpl weeks for an exploit. But eh another application that modified the game should be a boot in the toot. But hey glad you all caught it

Im dying to know who they were.

msapaev · February 8

@Kaz, that's awesome. On the other hand, one of my guildmates has been banned although he has never used any modified client at all. Of course, it's only his words, but I have no reason to not trust him... What can we do with such an issue?

Edited to add: of course he immediately reported to the support.

GoatKing · February 8

Did this affect Guild Wars?

msapaev · February 8

The worst thing is that you did it on Friday and it seems that nothing will happen with my guildmate's support case till Monday

Andy_b · February 8

2 week ban?? These scum need permanent bans minimum!

Dear Set,

I'm so sorry for your acct bro.

ignas · February 8

Maybe also -50% of all time stars, so they would disappear from all leaderboards?

JediMasterYoda · February 8

Great job catching the scoundrels, but IMO, you let them off easy.
I would have banned them for life.
Zero tolerance for cheating.
Better yet, take away all their cool weapons and ammo, reset their survivors to level 18.
Maybe they will think twice before trying it again.

Kick_ass · February 8

@Kaz can you possibly tell us when the ban begins and ends and also have players been notified?

Jenng · February 8

I was thinking walk of shame, or firing squad.........but I guess a two week ban seems most reasonable 🙄

.......And we wait until they f up again......... it’ll definitely happen.

xbamfx · February 8

If anyone assumes that our guild Army of Slayers (AOS) have in any way used some kind of exploit or mod or whatever please feel free to contact myself or @sbf. We would be delighted to share screen shots of every single battle that took place and the final scores. The possibility of seeing us at the top of the leaderboard once again is highly likely so please before you assume leave the “witch hunt” to the developers. Good Luck this season 😁.

On an unrelated note I will be offline for two weeks practicing my basket weaving.

Firekid · February 8

What makes everyone think this is to do with guild wars? Is this not relating to those players who were turning up in outpost with 10 star michonnes at whilst at level 20 etc?

Mario_Romero · February 8

Of course I understand not posting the names of those players @Kaz .

I would be perfectly happy with just the posting of the first and last four characters of their in game name, which I believe is a reasonable request, no?

Cronus · February 8

There are ways of telling who the cheaters are
We know what you do with cheaters
Burn'em! Burn them up!
And what do you burn apart from cheaters?
Wood!
So, why do cheaters burn?
Cuz they're made of... wood!
So, how do we tell if a cheater is made of wood?
Does wood sink in water?
No. It floats!
What also floats in water?
A duck!
So, logically, if a cheater weighs the same as a duck... they're made of wood!
And therefore, a cheater!
We can use one of my largest scales to find all the cheaters.

I'll start the list since Mario requested first AND last 4.

No "penis jokes" please. I'm going through a hard time right now. The competition was stiff at the top.
