This is the part that bothers me even more, like I get it, no career really requires high IQ or anything barring a few exceptions, but jebus, have some semblance of ethics (unrelated to intelligence per se).
These guys just set out to write cheats from day 0 1 and many with the “hmm what will get me the most DLs. Oh I know, cheats! PPL loves them cheats!”.
Writing mods to fill in some niche gaps is why I started doing it, but I feel so disgusted and baffled by cheat mod coders that I don’t even think we share the same reality, let alone morals.
Can’t fix stupid - at least legally. Though in this case $10 US says he’s either using the cheat himself or knowingly runs with someone using one and doesn’t want his crutch taken away.
This sort of thing is why I wish more companies would follow in Facepunches steps when it comes to cheaters. They don’t just ban the cheater - they get as many of the people that play with them as possible as well and make a public announcement in-game when said people are banned. Doen’t stop people from cheating (can’t fix stupid again), but goes a long way to giving people a reason to pause and think about what might just happen to them if they try to reap some of those benefits for themselves.
And that is usually enough to get at least a few to nope out of the whole business.
Ah yes you the mod created and sole voice of the emperor here. We forgot to ask your blessings, maybe when I will get 500 day service streak I too will be worthy to take part in this crusade.
I think this mod woudln’t be as controversial if you couldn’t see enemies through other enemies and walls
Kinda like, make their outline more recognizeable at a range and in between enemies, but not exactly showing you if they’re behind walls or being covered by other enemies like crushers, would be a lot better
The mod creator should do that IMO, cuz I really liked the other aspects of the mod (crystaline will radius, having your own personal radius for other stuff like shout, book, and so on so on). It’s just this cheating aspect of being able to see enemies behind other enemies and through walls that creates the massive issue
Some of you are out of your minds lol
Highlighting enemies in a PVE game is not the same as wallhacking in a competitive FPS. In a PVP game you have asymmetric information, which BOTH sides are using to create advantage. Therefore, knowing the position and movement of your opponents is cheating. And still games will provide visual cues for players with disabilities to use, and which is open to everyone. I am an older gamer, I used to play things like Action Quake 2 and the original counterstrike and I was ahead of the curve on using position audio to track players. Nowadays, games like Fortnite provide sound indicators on screen for footsteps and enemy gunfire.
In this PVE game the difficulty does not come from being “surprised” by the enemies. Enemies mill about, or spawn via known portals, and can even traverse the map entirely via these spawn portals. They give idle patrol barks and have SFX that cue the player in to their presence. Every specialist and boss announces their presence (when it works). For those of us who are hard of hearing or have to play with lower audio, mods which provide clarity for these situations is a godsend. I saw some people saying “spidey sense” is cheating? If you can use positional audio the game will tell you when to dodge, spidey sense simply provides a VISUAL cue instead of an audio one.
There is no strategy being deployed by the opponents, in fact most of the time the game simply sends everyone to your location! The skill comes in actually using your abilities and guns to deal with the mixture of enemies the game throws at you. What is the difference between hearing Rinda Karnak spawn vs being told it via text? There is none!
Enemies do not hide, shooters behind cover do not “wait” to ambush you, they simply light your ass up. Knowing they are there does not change anything.
Additionally, this doesn’t add anything that isn’t already in the game in some fashion. Pinged enemies can be tracked hrough walls, Veteran and Arbites have abilities that highlight enemies, you can see your teammates through walls.
Anyways, I hope Fatshark does not cater to you weirdo whiner types, mods have greatly improved the quality of life of playing this game! Thank you to all the modders o7
Yoo that’s awesome I had no idea that Fortnite actually did something like this I looked it up and it looks very similar to what spidey sense is doing. Fatshark should really do some work to put accessibility options in the game so everyone, console included can better enjoy the game.
