Archage plagued with Hacks and Bots
Hello guys
im unwilling to write every detail again- pressed wrong button and closed browser but let me tell you this:
Apparently AA has no secure BOT and HACKPROTECTION.
It seems like AA has alot of Skills clientsided wich means you can spam your skills as much as you want,
Also things like teleportation, Boss spawn and mob spawn are possible as long as you know the ID of that command.
Up till now hacks are going rampant in russian and korean version- still no fix yet (after so many years).
Let me show you some vids, what im talking about:
->lvl 4 killing lvl 44 mobs in 2 sec.
-->3 Bosses (inkl Kraken) get spawned to a raidgroup
-->another hacker
->> some insane mob spawns
-->teleport hack
-->Instant telport to trade routes with material
"Im following AA like many of you- just posting after so many talking good about AA- some bad things.
by informing you guys about this problem and Trion im hoping to see here some quality improvement. Just saying this because Trion does not make the game and have in the core build not much choice (game being client sided and not server side).

Stages of a new mmo: 1) It's just beta. It still has plenty of time before release. 2) It just launched. Give it time. WoW wasn't built in a day. 3) We don't need you anyway. 4) F2P announced. 5)Huge influx of players. 6) Look how much has changed. 7) Cash shop is the only thing developed lately. 8) It has been a long journey and we thank everyone who was part of it. Shutting down in 3 months. (Courtesy of Robokapp.)

The worst part is that when it happens state side NOTHING can get done until XLGames deems it a problem THEN we have to wait to catch up to their patch cycle to see the fixes (if any). This is why I can't touch asian mmorpgs anymore, as tempting as it is. I've experienced it with Aion, and then TERA. Not doing it again.
People are paying $150 to get in alpha and the company getting the money can't even use it to fix the game when there is problems. That's a red flag for me.
Enjoy.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.
I know it sounds funny but- the problem is been discussed in AA Forum.
The Botmaker of rus version is waiting for the game to go f2p. THat hackprotection your talking about can be disabled by every amateur- wich was possible in the last decade of mmos. It is used only to statisfy the customers that have no clue how to disable it- wich is easy once you know how ollydbg works.
Sir, you are wrong. I do not play ESO or played anything related to Elder Scrolls in my life. Just not my type of game.
As far as bots and such that is one area Trion did really well with in Rift most people who do bots gave up on Rift.
I did not look at the videos that was posted on this thread but killing mobs is really not what this game is about. There are places you can bug mobs on ledges, water etc, not really important. If you do not like what someone is doing you can kill them, give out your own justice.
As far as speed hacks and such we will have to see how good Trion does keeping them out.
For those of you that are come to the forums to put down AA because someone put down ESO I know you want to hate this game. Let it go AA has some really neat stuff in it give it a try even though you want to hate it.
I know in KR and RU people will put stuff on their keyboards to make their horses run in circles to level the horse, seen people doing it in Alpha and some have already received warnings for it. So there will be different tolerance levels between Trion and Mail.RU which I'm very glad for.
1) You made quite a few leaps of logic to state that I was implying that.
2) I came here because I just couldn't believe that AA could have any problems at all.
ugh... sorry ... Dizzy from the GW2 Hype-Train flashbacks..
Alpha state games = unfinished product. Features missing, Many bugs and problems. Goals of alpha state games are to implement designed features and ensure game runs in a playable state.
Beta state games = Finished feature set. Many bugs. Beta is for squashing bugs. Bug bugs bugs.. Lots of bugs. Beta's supposed to last as long as is needed to squash the many bugs.
So in your opinion, neither an alpha nor a beta state game is for squashing bugs. When are the bugs supposed to be squashed? pre-alpha? So dev's are supposed to be spending their time squashing bugs in a game that doesn't have many tester to find them, nor even 50% of the features even implemented yet to see what bugs come up?
Wildstar this weekend had one day of d/c's that was fixed in the evening eastern time. A new bug popped up, in a game that is free to play currently during it's beta weekends. I haven't paid a penny and i've been playing every beta weekend. Optimization isn't finished. Dev's communicate strongly with their player base. Not my fault you don't read what they are writing or even pretending to follow the games development.
AA's alpha might be a big misleading. Should be in a beta state. Features are in, bugs in western translation need to be fixed. IMO the $150 alpha is nothing more then a cash grab. If there wasn't already a Korean and russian version available for awhile now, in no way should the game be considered alpha. That is not the technical term. So you got it right for AA, but for wildstar, get your facts straight.
There shouldn't be many bugs in this game build AT ALL. The game has been live in Korea for HOW LONG? And it's been live in Russia for a while as well. So, bugs in the code (which don't have much to do with Korean/English/Russian) should have been fixed by the game's dev team long, long ago. This game isn't really an "alpha" at all. It's a game whose translations are being updated, but the core gameplay and programming remains the same. That's like saying they'll "fix" a bad movie while they do the translations for dubs/subtitles. Trion isn't re-programming this game.
As for people not seeing much hacking/bots right now in ArcheAge, you're not going to see that as much from people who paid $150 just to get into the game. When you'll see it explode is once the game "launches" with its free-to-play model and anyone/everyone can get in. Then there is nothing stopping a flood of cheating. It's actually not as likely that the developer will make this a top issue. Cheating just isn't considered as serious of a problem in Asia and Russia. They just consider it like, "If you can profit from the mistakes of others, then you should do so." So, unless Trion gets control of the game's source code, don't expect to see many changes to core game mechanics.
Wildstar is another matter, and we'll all just have to sit back and wait to see how that turns out (just like with ESO). Maybe it'll work out, maybe it'll be full of bugs and a huge mess. We don't know. It would be nice to see a game like this survive and develop, but I still feel like they're making a mistake trying to go with a purchase/subscription model. I'm still doubtful that ESO will be able to maintain subscribers enough to keep the game developing at any reasonable pace. But we'll just have to wait and see...
That is a blatant lie. There is next to zero discussing anything on those god forsaken forums. Perhaps one person tries to converse while the rest are asshats. terrible place.
There will be a character wipe, you get a four day head start for buying Beta or Alpha you do not get to keep your characters.
So AA is in no way live.
Its not fair of you taking my post history and using it here against me- where i clearly stated im against Founders packs in generall.
Maybe i just want to inform the consumer to be aware whats goin on behind the curtain. Nothing is wrong with that
Archage palgued with Hacks and Bots....ESO plagued with Hacks and Bots....next will be Wildstar Plagued with Hacks and Bots.
It's annoying as hell. And devs all across the board try and combat this plague of asshat players. I'm sure someday a game will come out that is anti hack proof and anti bot proof....but I am sure that will not be happening for quite some time. So it's really hard to say 'Stay away from XXX game because there is bots n hackers.', because this game will have problems...the next game will and the one after that will have the same problem.

There aren't a lot of bots, if any in alpha.
As for the hacks/bugs (lol kraken vid) I wouldn't worry too much, not hard to take care of by release.

Im pretty sure it will be hard, if it wasnt- XLGames would have gone with all the things serverside.
And noone is stupid risking a bann after paying 150 dollar for a game for making a bot- they wait till it goes f2p.
If no one is stupid enough and you acknowledge I was correct why did you put bots in your title then?

That's a post from a player on the Russian servers? Where's an official forum post from a US server/Alpha/Founder player concerning hacks and bots?
LOL, explain why no one can play the "Beta" card? Its not even at beta phase yet. You're the only jack ass that brings up ESO when the topic is about AA, wrong place buddy. Bloody hypocrites, honestly even Runescape is better than ESO. Either you're new at MMO and know nothing about what an MMO should "Feel" or you're just a hardcore Elderscroll worshipper, because you bringing ESO here is like those people who brings up the name of God at a muslim or other religion conversation, people like you causes the religion War, get a life douche.
So you believe a game that has been released for over a year in many different countries is in alpha because it is moving to a new region?? Besides translation and minor tweaks the game is done. That is borderline headstart. Certainly not alpha.Error: No Keyboard Detected!
