Name & Shame (possible) LOPE CHEATER

[Pilotasso]

Not asking for names here mate, but...Was it on our server?

 

No, it was another server. However no server is safe from this. Fortunalty I havent getting these kind of events too often. :)

Rumble dishonorably dismissed

 

Today JaBoG32 Command received the following screenshot taken by MrWolf on the famous VVS504 Public Server:

 

 

We highly appreciate Wolfie´s decision to inform us first before posting the incident here himself.

His effort to protect our good name in the community is to be commended! S!

 

We are taking the incident seriously and will put it under thorough investigation, taking into account all possible explanations.

We would like to express our commitment to the battle against cheaters and our apologies to anyone whose gaming fun was spoiled during the incident!

 

JaBoG32 Staff

 

In the abovementioned case, the JaBoG32 pilot and flight leader Rumble has been found guilty as charged.

He admitted cheating several times on public servers and forgetting to change his nickname this one time.

He furthermore admitted using several discrete nicks while cheating, one of them being BARCAP.

Therefore he is herewith dishonorably dismissed from the vJaBoG32 online squadron by unanimous decision of the Staff, effective immediately, for damaging our reputation and breaking our rules.

He is no longer allowed to use the JaBoG32-nametag and to act as a member or in the name of the squadron.

We are sorry to lose in him a very good pilot and an active flight leader!

Good call....

[Pilotasso]

OUCH... :(

[Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN]

thats gotta hurt, sorry to hear that woody

[Force_Feedback]

And it was a poor lope cheater, how pathetic, if you deceide to cheat online (and you're a retard in this case), then you could as well add like 100 aim-120s on your plane, but this, lope cheaters, are just pathetic, even more pathetic than someone that adds lots of missiles on his plane, because for that you need a tiny bit of knowledge. lope is just retarded clicking with a mouse. :icon_lol:

And it's good taht the online lomac community is quite small, otherwise we would have had lots more of these little kids playing around with payload editors. :(

[JaBoG32_Viper]

Uhm... i think, fixed loadouts will make it hard for cheater.

Classify the mission, set realistic loadouts before and than a cheater wont get the chance to select his cheated loadout anymore.

 

If u dont do this, u have to life with this problem as every other community.

The best way to let cheaters stay away from servers is to make it as hard as possible to cheat. And classifying a mission is the first way for that.

 

IMHO

IMHO

Since 1.11 classifying loadouts does not lock the payload. Which is good. But the loadouts should be limited in such a way as to prevent LOPE-ing such as with the su25t payloads.

Rumble, Rumble , Rumble... your a dam noob!

 

Sorry that this had to happen to a great squad as the JaBoG32

[emenance]

 

But other than that, more power to people that want to show people who abuse this. I would get very frustrated playing a A10 coop game using bombs and a couple mavs, then 2 or 3 people join with 12 IR Mavs. It's to bad locked loadouts were taken out in the new patch.

 

Well I dont cheat and I am sick of restrictions!!!!!!!!!! We pay our money and buy cable internet to play as intented so if my plane can carry em's then I want that freaking option to carry them!!!

 

I am also sick and tired of seeing one server open in hyperlobby with people forced to fly a 10's or su25's!!!!!!! You guys running servers arent that nice when you got 20 ground planes available and 7 a2a planes running , exaggerated!!!!! Whatever, I believe people playing this game online got the hardware to handle anything a server can dish out for the most part so its silly to me to come to these conclusions about limiting this and that esp if its ffa or the typical. If it were up to me Id drop the silly pick a plane server list and opt for a checkmark to pick any flyable of that country and go have fun!

 

Multiplayer needs to be more user friendly here, why set up an evironment to discourage play anyway? Doesnt make a damn bit of sence to me.

[emenance]

rumble is good example of people who cheat, very experienced and bored. Hell most people are still learning the radars right?????? Most people dont cheat and for the very few to cause the rest to take liberty and freedom away from something is just wrong. Seems cheating is easy to spot anyway by anyone who cares to look for it ...

They don't IRL, so they don't in Lock On. Simple isn't it?

Having run dedicated servers for games of all types this attitude is all too common. Since when should I (or other server admins) run our server(s) to please you? Our last dedicated server cost $159 a month, and that was with a years contract. Are you gonna pay for it? Let me let you in on a secret, you have no rights whatsoever to say how a server is run. Those that pay for it can set it up any way they want to. You need to adjust your "me-me-me" attitude. It ain't about you, and in the whole scheme of things none of us really care what your opinion is regarding how we run our servers.

I have no idea where you get that you're being discouraged. I've had LOMAC since day one and never have I gotten an attitude from any of the fine people that put up servers for the rest of us to play on. It sounds to me like you need an attitude adjustment.

Bored?

Never. I would prefer a good ass whipping then to cheat to attempt to give me a better hand.

Been flying this sim, for 2 years. I will never agree. And will condone such action. Restricting the payloads is the way the go. Due to the action above in this thread. It might cause multiplayer to loose interest due to this behavior. It’s Unforgivable IMHO. No. Restricts the payloads once again to give us piece of mind. Without it, multiplayer will take a major dive…. I still get a chill going into a dog fight online. Bored? Again never....How can you get bored? I'll tell you... You get bored BY cheating. No challenge by this action.

You want more challenge? Then go online with a Mig29-A. Now that’s a challenge. Then bragging rights are yours if your hunt is successful, lol..

 

My 2 cents

 

 

PS: disregard my amount of post towards my experiences with this sim. Truly aint the same.

 

 

 

Cheers

There are better ways than restricting payloads, and they are being worked on AFAIK.

Cool thanks GG, beta testers & Dev.

 

Much appreciated.

 

Cheers

[GGTharos]

No problem. To be clear, I don't think these enhancements will happen in 1.12.

 

But because the incidence of cheating is pretty low, I reccomend holding off on the panicking and the restricting and general flamethrowing :)

Wilco. Maybe a bit OT but dude, GG, your rep points 8. Congrats, never seen anyone with that much. Shows how much your respect you have within this community and what you have contributed to it. Just had to point this out. cheers :icon_supe

[GGTharos]

Heh, I hadn't even noticed. Thanks :)

Thats also my opinion. There's no reason to make such a big hunt for only a few cheaters. Better to focus u'r energy to that pilots who are serve the community instead of wasting time for such a normal thing.

Have u ever heard, that there's a community without any cheaters?

Even if they are playin flightsims, ego-shooters, racing-sims or whatever....if there's a way to cheat than there are also cheaters.

We have to life withit till there's a way to prevent that or we have to stop playin.

 

And sorry guys....blaming pilots (even if they are cheating or not) an a way like this doesnt help the community at all. Some newbies see, that there's a cheating-tool (and by the hell...nearly every site around here has it at the download-section, or?) and they gonna go to use it.

Thats freaky normal.

 

Yes, Rumble isn't a newbie, he's one of the best teammate i ever had but i can understand his reason to cheat a little. Sometimes it's really frustrating only to fly with all that restrictions, follow all the rules and leave the fun behind this. This breakouts were his way to keep the fun on this game for him.

 

I spend so much time workin on our dedi...see lot's of pilots around on the dedi, some of them with cheated loadouts too....and there are some mates of other great squads that cheat...

I never thought of taking screenies of them or publish it...my way is to speak with them...most of them never used cheated loadouts again on our server. There are only 2 guys that i had to kick out of the server all that time the server now runs.

 

So please...focus u'r energy to more important things, serve the community with new skins, new documents, new tactics or whatever.

 

Ugh....im finished

P.S.: This is only my opinion...not that of all JaBoG's. Please dont forget that!

Just an idea, but:

You know how there are "Newbie" nights on the servers now, how about a no-holds-barred, "cage fight" night, where you can LOPE till your heart's content ?

Then people who only want to "have fun" as Viper put it can do so - organised air quake. Let people get it out of their system somewhere...

Personally. I think this is a BAD idea

[Guest ruggbutt]

I remember someone set up a ladder for FPS's that allowed you to use whatever cheats you wanted. This is the same thing and anyone with any respectablilty will stay away from servers like that and won't condone the cheating mentality.

So this thread is closed then?
