Hey there,

I've watched your proof a couple of times and it looks super sketchy but we can't just trust your replay program 100%, and we don't know the player his ping. If you have more proof that isn't from your replay program send it to me asap so we can handle with this report or this player

Since when is replay program “super sketchy”? I have a lot of footage but it’s all on replay. Lol what other proof do you need? it’s all on replay. How else should I Record?

Bro LOL you got to be kidding me replay can tell you the players ping by pressing tab.you should read that sometime.....https://www.replaymod.com/forum/thread/2273

So what’s sketchy about it now? Look at the ping and video in real time. https://imgur.com/gallery/reaMDii

 

Hey @DarkNator,

The faction staff team and I have already reviewed your evidence
However, we cannot really seem to come to a conclusion to be honest

We will take a look at it once again, and hopefully come to a conclusion this time

At this exact moment, it indeed does look like the player was cheating
However, we're trying to confirm how accurate the mod is

The link that you had provided will definitely help us with that

We will come up with a final statement, and/or conclusion by tomorrow this time
As first we have to take a look at every possible situation, and/or explanations
And especially confirm how accurate the Replay Mod is regarding this

Additional to that, it was only one hit, a very much out ranged one
And it was also the first one, which is why it couldnt have been due to the player's ping
You have already also proved that the player was not lagging at all, and actually had a good ping

In case you have any more evidence, feel free to share it with us
It may always help us with the decision,

Thank you for reporting though
We really do appreciate it!

Have a great rest of your day

-Martin

 

Yes I have a lot more footage I will upload.

Martin here is some more footage. If you need more let me know I have about 3 hours of gameplay from that day. I’ll just send with my cellphone because it’s faster and it seemed pointless to render a detailed mp4 only for it to be called “sketchy” :-/ lol. Anyways here is the footage have a good rest of your day as well! - HackoNator

Hey @DarkNator,

The factions staff team and I have reviewed the evidence once again
I've even gotten even more staff members involved this time, including Elise, the Server Manager

We've come to a conclusion that we SHOULD NOT use Replay Mod based evidence for hacks
As sometimes, it may bug out, or mess up the entity position, even the Developer himself has said this:

==========================================================================================


In the first video, Keyword had somewhat jumped,
It wasnt really a proper jump, it was more of a bow - boost
Which I would assume should actually count as somewhat of a jump
And thats probably why it looked like he could've been far away from you

And in the second video, both of you were in a water, between someone's walls
He was below you, and you of course above him in this case, which gives him an advantage

This type of situation would give your enemy the ''Lowground advatange''
As his hitboxes would be far down for you, and yours would be closer to him
And therefore, I would like to point out a little bit of a correction to one of the photos:



In this case, you do not count the distance from his feet, he's not hitting you with those
Instead, you count the distance from his sword, which is pointed upwards, to your feet
As he's hitting your feet, with his sword, and of course not with his feet

However tho, afterwards, there was few more hits
And the final hit indeed did look a little bit sketchy

The reason why the final hit might have looked sketchy could've been because you somewhat lagged out for a second there
Your knockback did not seem to be normal for a second, and/or a hit there, so I assume the last hit could've been delayed knockback

Anyhow, we have come to a conclusion TO NOT ACCEPT Replay Mod based evidence for hacks
As I have already mentioned, the entity position may bug out, and there are many other aspects that matter with the decision

From now on, we will only accept Replay Mod based evidence for ''Fly Abuse''

You may download a proper recording software if you would like to report any and all possible cheaters
As in that case, the entity position will be much more accurate in the video recorded

The most basic recording software is actually ''Bandicam''
It is really easy to use, you may download it and try it out I guess

The report has been denied!

Thank you for reporting though
We really do appreciate it!
