FS won’t be communicating on this topic - ppl are complaining ALL the time, about everything, even about launcher. I don’t blame FS for not wanting to discuss anything with sweat boys or sweats wannabies…
Let’s try to be honest.
I have never seen an other company that fails to communicate as badly as Fatshark does.
Most of the complains come from the fact they never answer. The only thing that works is to harass them.
So, the fault is on them.
Sidenote: at beginning I had the same position as yours. But since, I have seen how they handle their business. And this is really sad how they handle it…
wow thanks for all the insightful responses. I have changed my mind about using macros. I didn’t think about the fact that it lessens the experience for the other 3 in my lobby.
Also that streamer guy was very rude and bad at the game and I would like to be good and earn my skill by myself instead of relying on a macro.
No you can do whatever you want even outright cheat
That’s where we differ. My teammates are not my competitors. I don’t owe them anything.
I’m not defending macros but these replies are a great insight to how people feel. Its just not that big of a deal to me, if that’s construed into me defending someone well I guess I’ll hang out and dry for the sake of the argument.
personally , i use the scoreboard to improve my play. the others are there and don’t concern me. if i see someone do a lot of damage, i might inspect his build. i could play without the scareboard, and it annoys me when people play worse than they could only because they care so much about numbers on it.
with macro users it’s often that you see them play in a rather… unsophisticated way, holding +forward and trusting in the increased damage they do, so their results, while irrelevant, come across as undeserved by someone with the displayed skills. while others who try to hone their skills know well that keeping that input so consistent under pressure is barely possible for humans.
I have no idea about the animation cancelling or whatever, but autoclicking saves people’s joints.
Yeah nobody ever cared about auto-clicking, the points were about about animation+quell+spam exploit macros.
For future reference, nobody cares about:
- simple auto-clickers.
- actual hearing impaired people (all 3 of them) using ESP mod triggered on sounds.
- photosensitive (strain, headaches and much worse) triggers replaced, reduced or even removed via mods.
- Ogryns getting extra rashuns.
These are never worth bringing up as abusers hide behind legitimate uses and users, co-opting them.
Fatshark’s official stance on macros, straight from the horse’s mouth.
Yes, I was there 3k years ago and it was understood back then that that referred to simple auto-click macros and not the current crop of exploit macros.
Not sure what point you’re tying to make.
I think it’d be better for game exploits to be patched rather trying to ban macro use, doing that would address the actual issue rather than a symptom of it. Banning macro use doesn’t make sense and would be impossible to enforce.
i mean games tend to have internal cooldown intervals for weapons that would already prevent like half the exploits
nobody would care if your macro wouldnt actually be able to give an massive unarchivable advantage.
