The Player Observation Thread

So basically this is some kind of variant of the old gear exploit?

Yeah, old relic of the past that probably happened by accident

Probably recreatable 100% if someone wants to spend the time too

Alright. If it just randomly happens then itā€™s Illfonicā€™s fault for making such a weird, buggy, shitty game.

If people were doing this deliberately the same way they used to do the infinite syrettes & ā€œair strike grenadesā€ then itā€™d be more scummy.

I can understand why there is no organized group to black/greybox testing, especially at this stage.

Dev/QA presence seems to barely exist, some patch fixes are pretty much gaslighting.
Probably are met with the good old fix one thing break 5 other issue on top of that.
Honestly now that I know theyā€™ve fixed somewhat plenty of bugs/glitches throughout the years sound kind of surreal, but not nearly enough. The DX12 thing and optimization update is great, but they are so far behind on workload.

That one game I had Craft wreck me, at the start I leaped inside a edge of rock in highground, tried to replicate it few times, did not work, then they chased my ass away. :D
Like how does that even happen in the first place :D
That was like a day or two after some guy played time in 1v1 and I could not find him, he appeared to be inside a rock or on top of the map.
Some last AI FT that does not exist on the map type of roleplay bug. :D
There is so much shit code in phg.

I understand where he comes from with high expectations of fairplay or wish the community to display strong stance against bug abuses and 3rd party since devs are not proactively working on issues.
But it really is not our job at all. And cheating is happening on a daily basis, regardless if its premeditated or incidental. Like others have mentioned, some abuse class specs, others have theirs messed by game updateā€¦

CS given as example once more (and not only) is a hacker paradise, there are literally youtube channels of people recording themselves hacking or ā€œtestingā€ when will they get banned, if at all.
Its a whole new subculture. Gaming is crazy at the current era.

Valve of course are more worried about their monetization and microtransactions, rather than the cheaters. VAC has been long breached and not properly updated. They implemented some Overwatch program I did my share of where the community can review random demos of reported players and give verdict, which is also supposedly used for machine learning.
But in the end it is not nearly enough to fix the issue, more of an excuse to look like they are actively doing something about cheating.

In this game however we do not have even half the tools or security implemented there, weā€™re just lucky real hackers are not around.
We have bugs on the other hand and bugs tend to be abused a lot.
And nothing we can do from our side. Devs create and dictate the environment for their players.

At that point give me the asshole squad as FT DLC

That was a long-winded way to say: ā€œI cheated, others cheated, and itā€™s fine because the game sucks and some pros did it too.ā€ You wrapped it in stories, name-drops, and nostalgiaā€”but all of it boils down to excuses.

Yes, exploiting gamma settings, using overlays, or slapping tape on your screen are all forms of cheating. You admit that, then try to drown it in a ā€œwell, others did worseā€ defense. Thatā€™s not an argument. Thatā€™s damage control.

And spare me the ā€œweā€™ve done so much for the communityā€ speech. You donā€™t get to exploit the game in public matches and call it QA. Thatā€™s like robbing a store and saying you were just ā€œtesting the alarm system.ā€

Cheating is when you intentionally use somethingā€”exploit, tool, or trickā€”to win. A random glitch happening to someone isnā€™t cheating. But you already knew that. Youā€™re just projecting, because guilt makes people real creative.

Expert, what exploit was used here? Recording from three players with slow motion. https://youtu.be/_v931QduQx8?si=vSYHk-M5Urqmoq9w

Hereā€™s a strange thought, since FairYautja seems to interpret things so horribly I thought Iā€™d bring these up

There is continuous butchering of what seems to be basic communication and more importantly comprehension skills, the underlying issues are different but ofcourse the comprehension skills could at least be defined a little more

Additionally it would seem we meaning the conglomerate of players FY hates seem to be along the lines of an existential crisis for his concept of Predator as a whole quite literally investing time to perfect his English skills and even wrote whole stories in English out of love for the franchise like most other passionate players who dive deep into lore

Previous comments also make it seem like he believes all PC players are some type of single entity possibly with the same exact motives and opinions from what it seems

LMAO! History repeatsā€¦ so now weā€™ve reached the mock his English phase. Thatā€™s weakā€”especially when Iā€™ve openly said Iā€™m not a native speaker. If youā€™re digging up screenshots just to mock someone for improving their language skills and expressing passion for the lore, youā€™re not making a pointā€”youā€™re just exposing how petty and insecure you really are.

You toss around big words and play armchair psychologist while dodging every actual argument.

And this whole ā€œPC player conglomerateā€ fantasy? Youā€™ve got it completely backwards. Itā€™s you and your circle that constantly act like a few toxic assholes on this forum represent the entire PC player base. I donā€™t think all PC players are the sameā€”I call out the specific ones who defend cheating, exploit bugs, and lash out at anyone who holds them accountable.

Youā€™re not some misunderstood elite. Youā€™re just a group of players who normalized dishonesty and got defensive when someone called it what it is.

Stop projecting your identity crisis onto me. I know exactly who Iā€™m talking aboutā€”and every one of your replies just proves me right.

If you donā€™t understand what Iā€™m saying, thatā€™s on youā€”not my English. My points are clear. You just donā€™t like where they lead.

I donā€™t know why butā€¦ I see a lot of truth here.

I streamed with the camera pointed at the monitor, you can see that I donā€™t have any overlays. I donā€™t understand why Iā€™m a cheater or a hacker? What did I hack? His brain? It also says that Iā€™m an exploiter. What am I exploiting, a keyboard and a mouse? šŸ¤£
