Apologies

I have joined the T:V Public Beta so I will not be around much. I am not in very many games at PBW, so I doubt I will be missed.

Its time for me to go re-educate my old victims, and make some new ones as to why they call me ATROCITIES.

T:V?
What is that if I may ask?

Happy hunting AT, squash the vermin and report them bugs. Try to have a 'little' fun and remember to get some sleep from time to time.

Cheers!

P.S. Keep in touch.

Hmm... I got Tribes 2, but I really disliked it. I like Ut2k4 better. But that's just me.
Happy hunting.

Ooooo, Timstone, now AT will come and bLast you for not liking Tribes 2. That is his beloved game and no one can dis it.

Isn't that right, AT?

But have fun while beta testing!

Hahaha... bring it on! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon42.gif[/img] I was in the top 100 of the [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon12.gif[/img] in the first two months it was released. After that RL got me back in it's icy grip.
Happy hunting AT!

I cannot believe that already, in the beta, we have cheaters! I mean what in the hell is the point of buying a game when you know that there is cheating in it right out of the box. They have the Speed hack, the invicibility hack, and now the never miss hack.

For the love of God, can't a game company make a game that is cheat proof for Mulitplayer?

Chalk Tribes Vengeance up to another game that has been ruined by cheaters.

The Beta is only four days old already and they are cheating. I am so discouraged and upset over this that I am thankful that Space Empires is pretty much cheat free.

Thank God for that.

There is also a difference in player's style between Space Empires and realtime multiplayer Online games. I doubt there would be such a widespread abuse of bugs and cheats even if they would exist in Space Empires. While in the TV kind of games there are a lot of kiddies who's main and only fun seems to be to invent and use cheats. Not that the game itself is bad, it just also attracts another kind of player base.
But I am surprised that the programmers obviously have not thought of cheating and cheat-protection. Where have they lived in the past 10 years? This is a well known problem, and the main problem - as you said, games can be totally ruined by cheaters, despite their overall quality otherwise. They surely will patch the biggest holes, it is still beta after all, but it is very difficult to make a game cheatproof that has not been designed against it from the very start.
But - I must admit that I have kind of mixed feelings. Sorry that a game you like has been ruined, but happy to see you back in PBW

Cheers!
