Flying in Blade & Soul? As a hacker, no problem! Cheaters are currently dominating the arenas of the new MMORPG.
Flying through the air with the teleport hack
With the release of a “new” MMORPG, numerous problems usually arise. While Blade & Soul had a pretty solid launch, aside from the overcrowded servers, more and more hackers are being spotted, especially in the arena, cheating to gain a significant advantage. As players are meant to walk upon the earth, hackers simply fly through the air and destroy their enemies from there.
It’s no surprise that the reactions of the streamers are quite shocked. The streamer Yuketsu definitely looks like he just saw a UFO.
As if that weren’t annoying enough, some hackers can teleport all over the place. You can tell that people don’t take themselves too seriously when they name their characters things like “Exploit”, as some streamers on Twitch have lamented.
Complaints about the cheaters are also being made on Twitch. But who likes to be sent to the afterlife by teleporting summoners? The streamer Xukania, however, takes it quite calmly.
Since it takes some time to investigate and confirm hacks, it will likely be a few days before NCsoft issues the first ban waves. Until then, players have no choice but to take it with humor – but flying girls with big eyes do have something quite fantastic, don’t they?
On Reddit, players blame the anti-cheat software Gameguard – it is outdated, easily bypassed, and practically invites others to ruin the fun for players. In the past, Korea imports like ArcheAge had problems with hackers here. In Korea, players must provide their “ID” when starting an MMO. If hackers get caught, they face a lifetime ban. Here in Europe, a ban in a game comes with fewer consequences.
