One Dune: Awakening participant 'is not going to bend the knee' to hackers laying waste to ornithopters—'I’m personally on their hit record now'
I’ve all the time stated that the worst a part of any multiplayer recreation is the individuals you play with. Sure, there are some absolute gem moments of camaraderie and teamwork, however more often than not, you need to cope with the worst sides of individuals, as some gamers in Dune: Awakening have sadly discovered for themselves.
Apparently, there’s been a gaggle of hackers in Dune: Awakening that not solely manipulate the pace of a service to make it transfer sooner than an MK6 Scout at full pace, however they have been utilizing this to pluck different gamers’ ornithopters out of the sky, take them to a distant location after which execute them.
One encounter was caught on video by a redditor SpooN04: “We all know their names, our complete server is aware of their names. Gamers on their first day in Dune study their names. There have been tons of of studies with proof identical to this. We now have been reporting them since near-launch.” SpooN04 has made it their life’s mission to maintain sacrificing the (form of costly) ‘thopters till Funcom lastly cracks down.
“Technical limitations to detect hacking are one factor, however blatantly ignoring a whole server’s multitude of CS tickets for weeks is a few grade A bullshit. The hackers have stated that I’m personally on their hit record now. However I’ll preserve sacrificing thopters for video proof till Funcom’s CS lastly lifts a finger. (Funcom reward my religion in you).”
Extra video proof for Funcom to disregard from r/duneawakening
Whereas nothing has come from reporting these hackers but, different gamers have been cheering SpooN04, with some attempting to provide them a bit of recommendation. After a suggestion from a fellow participant, SpooN04 has now posted these movies to Dune: Awakening’s official Discord in hopes that it’ll acquire extra consideration there.
However there is no assure something shall be accomplished about these hackers, particularly as Funcom already has a laundry record of complaints and bugs to deal with. Final week, the devs started a reimbursement program for individuals who have been affected by the Deep Desert structure change. There have been recurring complaints about needing to take away rockets on ‘thopters because it simply arms “griefers to whittle down” the playerbase, and only a common sentiment to take some motion in opposition to griefers within the recreation.
Regardless of there being no definitive date or answer for the kidnapped ‘thopter disaster at the moment happening in Dune Awakening, SpooN04 appears decided that the combat in opposition to hackers will proceed: “Masks prime server is not going to bend the knee!!!”
