Splatoon 2 doesn't have any auto cheat detection and now players can't even report cheaters
- Thread starter Atheerios
- Start date
Haven't play Splatoon 2 for a month. So I guess I haven't yet.
I know that. What I'm saying is that a feature to report bug to be put on the game isn't responsibility of Nintendo but TPC. That's what I've been saying.
I sold my copy because I'm not gonna pay for Nintendo's sorry ass online service. The fact that there's hackers now makes me miss Splatoon 2 even less, if at all.
I haven't experience anything like what I'm seeing on these videos. I have 1000+ hours in Dota 2 with no cheaters on PC, and 50+ hours in both BF1 and COD titles on consoles with no encounters with cheater.
But if we go back to the PS2 era, I definitely had encounter cheaters.
There are some awful cheaters in those games you mentioned, they're not very abundant though. Same thing with Splatoon 2. The percentage of cheaters in Splatoon 2 is very small and some in this thread have also listed their hours in Splatoon 2 and never having met a cheater.
Lol. All those games also had cheaters. The simple fact is even if there is hackers on those games or even this one.
The number is so small that it wont matter much as u can play like 1000 hours and never meet even once.
All this overeaction is just stupid. And considering how active nintendo is banning all this hacked switch. They wont be around for long time.
Was actually watching some "Playing Splatoon in 2018" videos... What a massive trainwreck that is, basically unplayable when they get in and are fairly common. Hopefully Nintendo does something on the matter fast before Splatoon 2 gets to those levels.
Honestly very worried about Smash. I gave up on Splatoon a while ago, not only because of these security issues, but also because of the archaic QoL options. Nintendo has made it clear that it is incapable of protecting its ecosystem regardless of all the restrictions and limitations they have placed on the Nintendo Switch in an attempt to prevent piracy. They took out save files, themes, and even streaming apps of their latest console while the previous generation included them all. Ultimately, it amounted to a wasteful act because the Switch got hacked anyway, and pretty fast too.
Good luck trying to get people to pay a single penny for your online """""""""""attempts"""""""""""" Nintendo
Considering you're going to need to pay for it to play Smash online...I think they'll be fine. Unfortunately.
Luck you.. I never played dota but put 1000s of hours in COD and met cheaters probably about 100 times.
How many times have you met them in Splatoon 2?
I just don't understand why people do things like that. How can you find the game fun if you just press a button and essentially win a game
Where's the evidence that they removed themes etc. to prevent this?
There's no evidence, this is all based on speculation. That's the best you can do with Nintendo sometimes. You have to ask yourself if the 3DS had themes, why would Nintendo backtrack on that feature with the Switch? It just follows the indicative pattern of Nintendo removing features to prevent piracy. The internet browser is another example. Literally everything from themes, apps and a browser were means of hacking at one point or the other.
You're right because, clearly, no other console maker that's ever charged for online (which Nintendo isn't even doing right now) has ever cheaters on their systems. Oh wait, no, that's not right because the Xbox 360 and PS3 at least were rife with that shit. I don't play multiplayer games on Xbox One or my PS4 now but I can't imagine it's completely absent.
Is this bad? Yes. Does this somehow make Nintendo worse than everyone else who has had to deal with hackers on a paid online system? No.
Get a grip.
Not being able to report players on the gaming device itself but through a phone app... Now that's a bit odd.
If it's really that easy to cheat online and hacking switches becomes as normal as R4, ninty better build in some anti cheat solutions into their game or risk lots of players moving away from that environment.

Paid online didn't exist on PS3. Microsoft has a proven history of providing a durable service through XBL. Nintendo's online infrastructure has always been qualitatively lacking.
OP played 900 hours ever encountering an issue.
I just hit 600, am Rank X in 3 modes, and haven't encountered anything suspect and I'm sure many other players can attest to something similar.
It's an issue that Nintendo isn't prepared for this, and the fact there are no repercussions means the likelyhood of cheating will increase in popularity, but please - enjoy the game and don't be so dramatic.
I've been playing Splatoon 2 a lot past week and I've not encountered anything absurd online. People thinking online is crawling with hackers are badly mistaken.
I never encountered any cheaters on PSN, but it has plenty of annoyances for me to stop subscribing it. All of these paid online services are nothing but greedy cash grabs and I'm having none of it.
Not many. I am more worried about playing on unreleased stages and getting banned in the process. Will wait how this situation develops and come back to the game later.
What are you talking about??
PS3 online games were littered with cheaters. Ever tried playing The Orange Box version of Team Fortress 2 on PS3??

Yup, you're right. PSN was for the free monthly game downloads on PS3. Edited.
This is overblown, I don't arguing that they are some hackers and Nintendo needs to complete solve this, but chances that you play with some players that use hacks are minimal, like one match in few play seasons from couple of hours, people here sound like every match in Splatoon 2 has few hackers, while plenty of people in this thread that actualy play Splatoon 2 saying they didnt notice hackers at all.
Also whats with this meme "$20 for this"!? You paying $20 for hole year to play online online Switch games, not just Splatoon 2.

I only picked the game up a few months ago and have been having a great time with it. Hopefully Nintendo stamp this out quickly.
No. People in this thread are overreacting.
However, Nintendo should do something before things get out of hand.
Nintendo's weakness when it comes to online really stands out in the spotlight this gen, in my opinion. I know people blast PSN or XBL, but it boggles my mind how Nintendo still doesn't have a major online system yet.
Maybe MS can help them create a dedicated portal similar to XBL. I don't mind paying $50 a year if it keeps hackers away and gives me good online chat system without using an app.

Some of you guys don't mind looking ridiculous with your "grand declaration" as soon as there's a little something, a rumor, or a stock variation lol. Anything to post those super concerned definitive "end of the world" things. You don't give a shit about the game, which doesn't suffer from that really, it's just the last "this is why I blahblah" lol.
Some good buffs/nerfs here. I'll be sad to see the Custom Dualie Squelchers losing their insane ink usage, but glad to see the Custom Splattershot Jr. getting a buff. The rapid change was well needed and the Undercover brella getting the brella back after getting a k/a sounds great and helps differentiate it more. The inkjet landing marker getting a timer is interesting and hopefully this will make tenta missiles a viable option again. Looks like a solid improvement, hopefully they're also pushing some anti-hacker stuff in the background
