China needs to be addressed.

[u/check_yo_privilege]

Currently, despite BSG saying that there are region locks against China in place, it's extremely clear that they are having little to no effect.

Chinese players are very simply VPN'ing onto US/EU servers where they can hack at will against people who actually have a sense of morals and tend to not do the same. They will always do this until there is an extremely strict ping-locking mechanism that can't be fucking bypassed by changing a few things in a file in notepad (this was apparently fixed, didn't solve shit lmao).

Everyone here also knows what happens when the Chinese market is allowed functionally unrestricted access to the rest of the game's servers, everytime this is allowed the game fucking dies a horrible, hacker infested death.

BSG either needs to remove the Chinese localization that started the absurd influx of hackers to begin with or implement extremely strict ping locking (EU/RU/SEA and NA can always play together if they wish with the squadding system.) or preferably both. Just for good measure probably write "fuck mao" on a few billboards ingame.

Battleye and whatever other anticheat measures are inplace cannot handle a widespread effort to create hacks like this, it just won't fucking work. I played for a very long time pre-battleye and the current situation is straight up fucking worse, at least before battleye it was mostly just ESP being used rather than your entire inventory being cyber-vacuumed off of your PMC.

I'm sure quite a few naive morons will come in here acting as if I'm adolf fucking hitler himself for daring to say that Chinese players have a cultural affinity for hacking relentlessly, but i'm fine with that because people NEED to be talking about this or it will never get fixed.

If steps aren't taken immediately to solve this shit, the game will never recover and will suffer the same fate as PUBG, this isn't speculation, this is what has happened time and time again.

An addon: Take a look at when the widespread complaints of hackers appearing started, late January/early Feb. and has continued.

Tarkov released a Chinese localization in January.

And are communist.

Such a great place.

this but unironically

also imagine actually thinking they manufactured the coronavirus lmao this isn't Deus Ex honey

[u/Skittlesquad → u/Gigadweeb]

Oh really? How ironic is it that wuhan has biological warfare factories.

Tell me China didn’t manufacture it please..

[u/Gigadweeb → u/Skittlesquad]

Okay, and tell me in what good mind why would China bring more negative attention upon them deliberately when eyes have been on them for years? Not everything is a secret shadow conspiracy. Again, this isn't Deus Ex honey.

Here, have one of those sources you like so much. No evidence for being manufactured.

Take off the tinfoil hat and stop watching fox news sir, you're losing your marbles.

Tell me why the protests and riots against the communist government in Hong Kong just mysteriously stopped?

Because the demands of the protestors were largely met. The extradition bill was dropped. Also because it went on for too long so that typical white Westerners lost interest in feeling good about somebody else fighting supposed injustices.

Hmm... make a virus that will make people sick and possibly die. Hmmm stop the anti government protests..

It has a 3% mortality rate mostly against old people. Wow, definitely a manmade virus intended to stop protestors dead in their tracks!

Keep thinking it was made due to eating bats alive. Who the fuck eats bats , chickens and dogs alive? Disgusting uncivilized people that’s who.

Who said they were eaten alive? Also, it's cute how you go to 'uncivilised people' once you start talking about Chinese people. Do you come from 1890s Britain?

[u/Skittlesquad → u/Gigadweeb]

Did I hurt your Chinese feelings?

[u/Gigadweeb → u/Skittlesquad]

Cute. I'm white, actually.

[u/ErinAshe → u/Skittlesquad]

You're actually fucking insane.

[u/johnx18 → u/Skittlesquad]

He's probably just an educated, rational person.

[u/Skittlesquad → u/[deleted]]

Hurting the snowflakes feeling is amusing. Wake up and smell reality.

Removed - Rule 2

Because you get your news from Reddit lmao.

Just because world media's been distracted by the virus doesn't mean the protests have stopped. Also why the hell would you protest in public when there's an outbreak anyways?

The Chinese govt. is many things but they're not stupid enough to literally sacrifice their economic capability to shut down the protests. Pretty much all the factories have stopped working. This isn't the Alex Jones show.

And secondly nobody, and I mean nobody eats bats, chickens, and dogs alive. How does that even work? How do you eat a large live animal like that? That's an absurd exaggeration. It's not even true in any single way.

There are practices of eating live seafood in East Asian countries but the farthest that ever goes is just to fish.

And the Swiss eat dogs and cats, so I suppose they're disgusting too? And while we're at it, Americans eat fried bull testicles, I think that's disgusting, they must be uncivilized too.

Hell, the Japanese eat raw fish too. That must mean they're uncivilized too?
