Massive cheating on the loose!
1-5 in War Mage Hallway
1-2 in Nightmare Hallway
1-8 in War Mage Chokepoint (121 million is pretty impressive though)
Just some I noticed recently. I don't want to go through all the levels :/
looks like the wiped all the scores for the lost adventures.... or they are having tech difficulties, but they aren't displaying.
Not sure how they do it.... but it's lame and annoying. And it causes legit scores to be deleted occosionally.
look like it was just an issue with the website, they are back up now
Sorry guys, this is on me. I'll clean them out first thing on Monday morning. I got sidetracked this week by some big support needs over on Hero Academy. The good news is that these guys are pretty easy to clear out. Thanks for bearing with me ;)
thats one thing i never got, how do people cheat like this (not that i want to know how)?
The only way to get those scores is moddifying the onslaught files i'd think but it should disable them from leaderboards. Is that not working?
I'd think robot would fix this if they could versus manually partolling the leader boards and deleting?
It's not that. There are, unfortunately, many nefarious methods of cheating scores in the vast PC gaming community. There are not always easy fixes for these type of things, unfortunately. This is one of the unfortunate side effects of having a relatively open platform (PC) - a small group of people will inevitably try to take advantage of it. But we try not to let a few bad apples ruin the bunch, though, if we can.
well we thank you for your time in helping to patrol them. Never did get that mentality,, "Look at me i cheated and i'm number 1" :)
Would it be pheasible to add in an option in game to exclude a profile from posting to the leaderboard?
In my opinion I do support single player cheating, as in most aspects it shouldn't affect anyone else. However, seeing as this is a single player game with a leaderboard, I would like to see some sort of option of being able to exclude a game profile from posting / contributing to my main profile's scores. Since this isn't currently an option that I have found, I have actually held off on using my dummy profile as I sincerely dislike cheating scores showing up on those boards.
Play in Offline mode on Steam if you want to cheat.
Well, that could work out , but is there a guarantee that your scores won't post when you go back into online mode?
Most of these things can be solved by in-game cheats that deactivate leaderboard, or unlockables that give you those perks that when enabled, disable the leaderboard. This would also need to apply to achievements as well since those are being tracked. It's just a suggestion that may help keep the cheaters off of the leaderboards. Granted, if they aren't as "honorable" as I am on this type of subject, then there's nothing to do about that except keep removing them or block them from the leaderboard (if such an option is available).
Robot should appoint someone that can look at private video evidence, so the person can have their secrets and we can all be safe that scores are legit.
Six you really need to start pruning some of these cheaters, on some maps being first means being more than 10th!

We've discussed similar ideas for future games, but we won't be setting that up for OMD for now.
