I follow Hacker News. Go ahead, please. I'm listening ..

If there were a way to play hacks in a test or other isolated mode, I'd be all for it. But I don't think that's the case, which means you're messing around now with live players. So in my mind, it's as bad as intentionally tanking/fading when the rest of the team is trying to win a game.

That being said, I do think what you're able to squeeze out of the engine is pretty cool. I though the high altitude view over Shenzhen was pretty sweet -- there's a whole rest of the earth beyond the city that you never see in normal play.

Cool. Just don't use it against me. Specially like the giant bot hack.

Sorry, I see this just like a cheap hack promo.

Titles in attached hack video lead (by googling) to game cheat website where you can buy hacks.

What's a weeny-waver?

I have a conscience conflict. Do i release my hacks to public and kill the game or not. That depends from uberclever guys as you tonyfla 

-sarkasm off-

You are able to conduct a constructive discussion without insulting and stupid questions or not?

As i said in first post, im a hackdeveloper.

Thats enough to let half smart people google for "geribaldi War Robots hack" and they will find me shortly.

Another point against your arguing.

How many cheaters you see every day on servers where you 100% know that they use hacks? 0?

You can look at our website. Try to get a hack. We never released it. Make it sense to advertise a unreleased hack what nobody can buy? I think not

I appreciate your honesty, and would ask you to take a moment and consider what you're trying to achieve here.

Hacking and cheating in a single-player game doesn't affect anyone except the cheater; hacking and cheating in an exclusively multiplayer game affects everyone playing. More importantly, a cheater relies on everyone else playing the game honestly in order to get his or her advantage. So a cheater needs the majority of players to be honest.

Honest players, on the other hand, do not need cheaters in order to enjoy the game. But cheaters drive away honest players from the game. After all, what's the point of playing if you encounter cheaters using hacks to give themselves absurd advantages? And as more and more honest players depart, it can create a vicious cycle that ruins the game for everyone (including the cheaters) eventually.

You say you're in contact with Pixonic. Good! I hope you're able to help Pixonic identify and protect the game from exploits like the ones you developed. If you do that then you're helping the game thrive and I applaud your efforts.

If, on the other hand, you're expoiting those hacks in order to cheat; If you're offering those hacks to others so they, too, can cheat; then I think your actions are harmful to the game you seem to enjoy enough to spend time developing hacks.

You seem to have technical skills. You seem to have enough integrity to explain your actions honestly. Combining those two aspects together could certainly help the game you enjoy to thrive by working with Pixonic to identify and disable exploits.  Who knows?   Pixonic seems very open to the community, and it is fairly common for game companies to hire people from its gaming community. I think helping create a game like war robots would be much more satisfying than selling a hack to a few unethical people who want unearned rewards.


EDIT: Changed a sentence for clarity.

can you hackers do one of these?  then I am willing to listen:

(1) fix the MM,
(2) reduce lags, 
(3) reduce splash dmg of rockets based on distances from the detonation center, 
(4) let Griffin and Rog jump in gradients, 
(5) show dmg, beacon capped/liberated, and time spent on the battlefield for each robot, after each battle, as a part of the battle report, 
(6) improve the hanger and weapon storage UI, 

let's begin with these, 

I found it interesting how one of the hacks basically pushes all the enemies in the air so that they can't move. How does your devices' processor not melt with all these things happening?

I'm going to lock this thread. geribaldi, regardless of what one might think of what you do as a hobby, I at least note that you tested the waters rather than blasting it all over the forum, so thanks for that. However, this topic is against this forum's Code of Conduct, and therefore prohibited.

There's another War Robots players forum out there with a higher discourse tolerance you might try, or the Facebook Group. Alternately, feel free to DM me to see if there's opportunity for a guest piece on MECH*SPECTRUM.
