Greetings, if you are looking here, it means you are fed up with the Colony hacks. I hope that Krin sees this and attempts to follow my proposition, as i KNOW it would reduce hacking to a bare minimum.
1: Have administrators. I understand why this may be improbable seeing as it's a free game, but it really is a necessity. Somebody who can be told "xyz is cheating by doing this." All games within the past 1 hour are recorded and the admin can observe the game and determine whether or not that person is cheating. If so, one time caught cheating results in an account closure. New problem "hackers can just make a new account...or play as guest..." refer to steps 2+3.
2: Link Colony accounts to an email address. When you insert your name and password, also require an email address. ONCE AN EMAIL HAS BEEN USED, MAKE IT UNABLE TO LINK TO A NEW ACCOUNT. That means, one email: one account. If people want to hack, they have to keep on making email accounts which is both time consuming and boring.
3: The guest problem: Eliminate guests. What is the purpose of a guest? To allow new players to experience online play? If a person wants to try online play, they should only need to insert a username, create a password, email address, and they can play...nobody enjoys playing with a guest, it's a risk to have on your team, they either don't know what a bank is, are rank 10's in hiding, or hackers. Get rid of them.
Feel free to comment upon whether you think this is a good or bad idea, or whether it will even work. Personally, I think it would vastly reduce the hacking going on, but I also understand it would be difficult to get admins.
There are still exsist players that never have resorted to cheating.
simply because u refer to them this way PROVESSSS they r near extinction XD....... and back to the
Yeah, "some" is too many
problem..... again if we all have the same tools "some" would nt be a problem....... the only problem is the instakill problem...... that much....... is still a problem a pact cant be struct because there is no trust or pride XD.... thusk we come back to the root of it all.. the cause of ALLLLLLLL the problems......... the players..
the cause of ALLLLLLLL the problems......... the players..
Yeah, sadly it is down to the lure of the forbidden fruit and noob's weak will power. Lol. I mean, I never met a hacker or knew someone who started hacking that could out right beat me in a 1v1 or in 2v2. I been beaten a few times by guests and what not, but never a hacker playing legitimately.
Just got to say; yeah, Hackers are slowly destroying the game. Making it harder for people to get good which means less challenging games for older players and means that the actual only decent games come from using crap builds or actually semi setting up a pro games.:L
I hate to say it, but I think Colony's multi-player is just a lost case. I think we should just get a better, more secure Colony 2 out here and play that.
People generally make accounts anyway and pretend that they are older than 13 but, most people let guests play in games anyway, seeing as almost anyone could be a cheater and more often than not, it is the players with accounts and not the guests, it seems nowadays.
THUSK WE MUST ALL CONVERT TO GREENICAISM.....errr, that was a stretch, u know wat i mean peggy, revive 5.3 people thats the only solution.... as far as i see.

Indeed. From what i can tell, when you have 7 guests in the lobby, usually only one is a cheater, and this one is probably someone who has an acc and is trying to discretely cheat on a guest acc= A coward. Still, if you play two games strait with this same person, it may appear as if all guests cheat since you cant really tell the difference.
One way around this is: instead of trying to keep track of all the guests online that you know you cannot trust, try to keep track of the online guests you play with who do not cheat and are not complete newbs.
I only recently began doing this, and i must say, it is much easier and more effective than trying to keep out the cheating guests who constantly relog to change acc names.
If you were to use a hack to counter hack other hacks then someone would try to use a hack in order to counter your hacks which would create a never ending loophole of hacking which would leave us exactly where we started...:L

ridiculous..... a guest number and the player r NOT absolute..... they change each time..... u basically did the same thing twice in that situation..... if u have a problem with guest dont play them, if not just be quiet and hope for the best.
