Bay 12 Games Forum

That is an interesting thing I noticed too... Before this was even implemented I saw absolutely no cheaters at about the time halloween kicked in. It makes me wonder where they all went.

 So apprantly this new 'roboshield' thing is Easy Anti Cheat. Looking over the robocraft forums has people suggesting that it keylogs and screencaps your computer, and publicly releases the information.

 Now I'm wondering if these accusations actually hold any water, further in the thread I found this stuff they mentioned that the program only does so in competitive tournament settings. Other people mentioned how they were concerned with the program having the capability to do so at all and the potential for the terms of service to change allowing them to make wholesale use of such features at a whim against whoever they please.

 Can anyone confirm that the program can or cannot actually perform this?

I jumped off the roof.
Ground view from one of my friends.

Game is Payday 2. Before this we had a game with all cloakers. I don't know how we survived.

I've tried to build it to eat more fire than a railtank should really be taking, since medics tend to be... less than reliable; the chassis and superstructure supporting the guns/around the cockpit is all orange, and I've got cyan ablative in the front/green in the rear. Went with the 8-wheel pattern because 6 either feels unresponsive with only front steering (+ that's super-vulnerable; lose the front wheels and you're done) or way too twitchy and unstable with front+rear steering. With 8 it's stable, has great straight-line speed, decent handling, and if the front wheels are blown off, I can spin around and drive backwards.

Firstly, how many cubes between the back wheels and the pilot seat? Any tri-forcing?
 That's really my primary concern beyond the potential for plasma splash bleeding through to the seat mount since it looks a little narrow back there.
 The reason I focus on the wheels is because when any non-basic cube gets damaged by plasma, 80% of the damage converts into an SMG/railgun like algorithm directly onto the mounting cube and eats its way through your tank, and when plasma hits directly, it hits very very hard.

Hmm. They definitely have some new anti-hacker stuff in place. Unfortunately, it's a bit...overzealous. I've been kicked from battles twice now for 'invalid data' coming from my machine, and I wasn't doing anything all that odd. Turning to fire my plasma behind me a bit too quickly, maybe? Not sure what it was upset about.

Judging by reports on the forums, it's catching people firing single plasma weapons, presumably since it reloads too fast.

The crosshairs aren't going to be perfect because weapons do not account for their placement, they aim in the exact direction you are, resulting in a parallel firing line to your direction of aim unless you place your weapon precisely and aim in a very specific direction.

I like it better when I can actually try out new and interesting ideas and not get punished for it.

 Not everyone can be happy at the same time, but I feel not having that huge barrier to entry is better for a lot more people.
