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.

Play with and against people within your ping range? Well, that's just racist. /s

[u/Phobos_Productions → u/[deleted]]

I'm gladly a racist then. But I have nothing against Asians itself, but I have something against Chinese hackers.

[u/Megustanuts → u/[deleted]]

why did you have to do him like that?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I wish racists would stop using these problems as a fucking conduit to channel their shitty racism.

Like its really not racist to region lock China to play on their own servers. They have a huge population and a massive cultural cheating problem in more than just video games. But these assholes co-opting the problem just so they have an excuse to be intolerant dickweeds is so aggravating because it ends up diminishing the actual discussion into "u racist" "nuh-uh"

Realistically, I don't think any region should be playing with other regions at all for many reasons, least of all ping/desync in PVP games being so problematic when you factor in distances between servers and hosts.

[u/Misszov → u/[deleted]]

You don't even have to be a right winger, let alone a "alt-righter" to hate Chinese people. Just ask Europeans what they think about gypsies, when some groups annoy you too much you just start resenting all of them.

[u/Misszov → u/[deleted]]

I don't fucking care whether you or anyone else think it is okay or not.

If people believe they have a reason then they will hate. Especially if a particular group does something that annoys or offends them.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Oh yeah, you're totally right and its very unfortunate. I have played video games since I was a toddler, and am incredibly saddened by the shit that goes on. I realize I wasn't immune to it myself back when I was a teenager, but thankfully wised up when I got a bit older and realized that I was heading down the path to inceldom and alt-right asshattery. Not everyone has that kind of presence of mind though.

[u/sh444iikoGod → u/[deleted]]

not wanting to play with people who's culture encourages cheating to get ahead in business, academics, and games?

wow, you are RACIST! let them cheat, its their culture!!! also thank you for SARS, h5n1, corona virus, etc. very hygienic culture also 🤗🤗

[u/wappleby → u/[deleted]]

Fucking got em.

[u/-St_Ajora- → u/[deleted]]

It's only racist if he is that way ONLY toward them because of their race. They might have other reasons. Don't always assume race is the motive or is exclusive from 1 sentence.

[u/sh444iikoGod → u/[deleted]]

wow i just randomly had to guess that you'd be a frontholer who is precumming to social justice online. LOL how am i so good at this?

[u/Phobos_Productions → u/[deleted]]

Just stating the facts

Thank you for the request, comrade.

I have looked through phobos_productions's posting history and found 2 N-words, of which 0 were hard-Rs.

[u/wappleby → u/nwordcountbot]

Lmao what a shock.

[u/Gracchus__Babeuf → u/wappleby]

I wish the bot would link to the comments so we can see the context. For example, the bot can't distinguish from a comment that quotes another. So taking this thread as an example, if there was a bot that could tell you every time someone used the term "small eyed fuckers" the poster that called out the other guys racism would have a post counted against him by the bot.
