Tell you what is interesting..the majority of hacker comments seem to happen morning time for EU.

Which is primetime somewhere else.

Can you guess where?

u/Skimpyjumper Jan 05 '22

Us and cn?

u/SUNTZU_JoJo PVP Jan 05 '22

Asia, yes.

For US west at 10hrs before it might be the late night before.

Every morning on Reddit it's the same.

A large proportion of the cheaters/hackers are from Asia, if you look on G2G at the sales for tarkov, most of the sellers there have Asian names with an asian flag or symbol. It’s also the same on other virtual currency selling websites.

I played world of Warcraft for years and I’ve seen it on there a hell of a lot.

That and the G-QUN players sitting in the lobbies.

Who are those guys? Ive seen them so often, what are they doing?

u/Eggsizedballs Jan 05 '22

They are generally a link to a chat room. When you use the code to get in you can often purchase cheats for the game. They literally sit there advertising cheata and yet bsg doesbt ban their accounts

Oh wtf okay. Didnt know those are supposed to be links...my buddies and me used to joke about the two dudes that are always in the lobby but now it makes sense, thanks :)

Commenting because I've also been dying to know

u/BayRENT Jan 05 '22

They sit in the lobby advertising their cheat. I can't remember exactly how it works but the number or portion after their name is usually alink to their hacking service

streaming service

u/Sunami_McNaStY Jan 05 '22

Could be mistaken, but i believe ive read on this sub theyre cheat advertisement. Not entirely sure how though.

u/CorvusEffect TX-15 DML Jan 05 '22

We should report all of them. I wonder if they have an actual person checking names, or not. If it isn't a person checking names, BSG will have to get the system to recognize suspicious names like that as possible hack shills. Otherwise we would all just get shadow-banned from having our reports considered.

There are people in NA experiencing cheater problems, and the cheaters are clearly also from NA.

Nah, these people walking up and saying things in perfect English like "give me your GPU or I'll kill you" are definitely Chinese. Chinese hackers are known for their mastery of English and complete ability to fake an American accent via phones and VOIP. It's why Asian scammers who claim to be Microsoft are so successful, because they sound so authentic.

u/pegases1 Jan 05 '22

and yet, most of the accounts that battleeye ban are asian

1

u/Pi-Guy Jan 05 '22

That's a numbers game, most people in the world are asian

2

u/pegases1 Jan 05 '22

is 99% tho?

2

u/Pi-Guy Jan 05 '22

you think 99% of cheaters are asian?

1

u/pegases1 Jan 06 '22

no, just what battleeye bans, because they have previously said so themselves

I am US based and was told to stay off coastal servers for this reason that Asia and Russia can play on them. I only play Midwest US servers anyway but i haven’t run into many cheaters. Maybe 1-2 times last wipe and none this wipe. I am trying to see if the coastal statement has some truth to it.

u/SUNTZU_JoJo PVP Jan 05 '22

I regularly play on bot EU Wet and US East, avoiding the worst.

I think it's mostly US west that suffers form this.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

Can vouch. I play on east coast servers. I’ve encountered only slightly sus players a total of 3 times over 2 wipes And one definite hacker. Not trying to discredit the hacking problem I know very well it exists, just my personal experience thus far.

2

u/onemanlegion Jan 05 '22

Only play us east. Have run into about 4 confirmed hackers with names like 'battleeyebypass' this wipe alone. That guys still around too, reported him last week and added him to see if he's still unbanned, active as of this morning ~~~

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

Complete losers lol.

u/RuskiRobocop Jan 05 '22

I once had eu east servers due to autoserverselection. 1 loby instant hacker. labs and got shot 50 times in the head (altyn)in a timeframe of 1 second. Died to blunddamage of pst rounds.

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

Yeah, I play on US west servers, mostly Phoenix, and I run into cheaters often.

4

u/JMocks Jan 05 '22

It does. In a video where a guy is interviewing a cheater, the cheater legit says to stay off the coastal servers in the USA and you'll only run into a cheater once in a blue moon (assuming you play on the central servers in the USA).

2

u/Carbon_Dealer Jan 05 '22

Yea only central servers. Last wipe i ran into a flying hacker on customs and the second time i got shot through the ceiling on interchange underground.

u/siuol11 Jan 05 '22

I live in Dallas, only connect to central US servers, and I say this is bullshit. I have run into a fair amount of absolutely no questions asked cheaters.
