Hackers

Just had a match against nurse where the first two survivors were instantly sacrificed on their first hook. I assumed the nurse was hacking, but it turns out the Ace was flying around the map and standing on killer shack.

These kind of matches are really making me want to play something else. Not only did I have to do 5 gens because the nurse was going AFK. But the ace just frigged around and did nothing the whole time as well.

When will devs focus on combatting these people? Yes I reported them and linked the evidence. But what a waste of time. I'm sure most people don't even bother reporting because they just want to go next. Why do I have to go through so much hassle to report someone? According to rules, you need video evidence and all kinds of foolishness to even get your report reviewed.

Do better.

    I've had three encounters this week and it's usually one sighting per month. I don't know what's going on.

    I had an ace and Jeff like this on the RPD the other week. It was me and Rebecca with Gunslinger just trying to figure out what was going on. We even tried to get the GS to hook us but they'd made it so he couldn't. Did all but 1 gens instantaneously and kept reverting the final one (atop the stairs) to zero every time we got to 40%.

    The ace left early on but the Jeff stayed for ages and held us all hostage. It was bizarre.

    I had a game against a Zarina who was doing the hacky thing. Instant gens, ridiculous speed boost, rapidly stunning me with the same pallet so quickly the audio couldn't even finish playing, and then closed the exit gate while I was inside so I couldn't get out.

    That's insane. I haven't had any that bad. And luckily I wasn't held hostage but I was expecting it. He basically auto opened the gate and left. I wanted the nurse to hook me so I could record the auto sacrifice hack but she refused. Oh well. I messaged them after the match and they said they just wanted to let everyone go after they saw they were hacking.

    The only one I've encountered was during the event. We were going up against a Doc, and the game was going decently in our favor, but sometime on the last 2 gens when he was chasing a healthy Cheryl for a really long time, he dc'd. Cheryl said in chat, "He couldn't catch me," something of that nature, and Cheryl had No Mither equipped with Self-care of all things. Not the most subtle of hacks, if the perks are gonna give you away...

    Yeah, hackers are much more common. And they appear more at nightime in my region more.

    I do not hack; the TTVs I’ve played have oddly been accusing me of havking.

    Its annoying that people, who obviously forgot how scratch marks work, are quick to the hacker excuse to explain their misplays.

    But yeah OP. Survivors don’t get sacrificed on first hook so take a video and report.

    The worse hackers are the hackers that make other players think someone else is a hacker.

    I had a survivor hacked me to have all kind of Hex perks, so other 3 survivors thought I was the hacker.

    Perks of being bad at the game is that you don't see that many hackers, blatant or otherwise. The only one I've seen throughout my time playing was 6th anniversary, a Meg with instablind flashlight that went through walls, insta heals, and no collision. She was harassing the killer, but left when me and my two friends didn't seem to find her fun. She just DC'd when killer went to a corner and we kept pointing at her. The rest of the game was farming with the killer and having a slug race, so it still ended on a positive.
