Is it skill or hacks?

Mon Jun 09, 2003 2:36 pm by Perseus

It seems that players have trouble when dealing with their own demise. A player seems to believe he is invincible and when someone does kill him, he screams hacker. It's typical that players would confuse hacking with skill. Does anyone else have this problem. You have better skills than someone and they whine hacker?

"Everyone thinks they are better than everyone else but when they are proved wrong, they scream hacker. This is a universal gaming truth. Don't deny it, don't dispute it, just accept it!"

Its around everywhere.... "I shot you like 50 times in the head and you didn't die! You shot me like 3 times! Cheater!". Man in shooting games or whatever involves guns or a game thats hackable to many, you can be sure that people will call you a hacker or cheater if you have skill. But usually you can define this though. Hacker = Some banged up Light-Fighter flying bloody fast and shooting about 50 laser things a second, Skill = Some banged up Light-Fighter flying normal speed, dodging lasers and missiles and getting you in a defensive position,,, Oh darn its late i'm talking crap again, lol.

sure sounds familiar...go to Elite server and kill any NEO member...you will be called "cheater"/"hacker" in no time...they think only they can kill and if their ship gets destroyed it's like: "oh, man..you actually killed me!?!?...I can't believe that!!!"...funny to read their comments, though

Is it just me or does lots of people say stuff about The Elite?

I've actually only accused two people of cheating on elite (one had quite a few extra nomad weps mounted on his sabre, the other (wonderer) had an apparent speedhack that allowed his sabre to out-turn an eagle), and I've had the game since the day it was out.
Oh... I'm in NEO, by the way.

how did u know he had extra guns mounted on his sabre?? did u scan him (and see all the mounted and UNMOUNTED weaps) or did u see more than 7weap slots occupied on his ship?

They weren't unmounted. How do I know?
Me and Tasiin were camping him. They would have been long gone after his first death, but nope.

It takes strengh to admit some one have more skill then you.
But if this person known of hacking befor? Dont you have doubts?

I had personal experience.
I see the hacker I say he is one, but hard to prove anything.
Today hackers are smarter then it was in begin of FL,
how can you prove that his sabre running faster then my?
how do you prove that his nomad guns firing faster then your blaster?

New weird days are comming to FL, I just hope they be able to fix it befor its too late

Lot's of people are better than I am, but when someone is attacking me with about six nomad cannons, or when a sabre is flying around like a light fighter, I get suspicous.

i always say hacker when i die... people get so pissed off its usually just lag tho or low fps
