Cheaters/Bugs/Hack ???

[Rollin]

@Harlems369th are there more and more cheaters in the top 1-20??? felt everyone has Permanent Nighthwakshangar or a normal hangar and Fortified Strongpoint building active??? and alot old Eisenhowers with 7 ranges... what's happening right now? It wasn't that noticeable a few weeks ago

Exactly. It's bad enough that people need to buy troops or tactics or buildings to win battles in a game that's designed for people to win battles.

I don't understand all the talk about wanting to defend better than others can attack. This game is called Dominations for a reason - it's not Defendernations.
If, by some arguments, defense needs a boost and they want more options to defeat an attack, wouldn't that then make it harder when they attack and by definition make it harder for them to gain resources?? This doesn't make sense to me.
Unless the people calling for stronger defensive options are the top tier bases and don't need resources ... in which case you have zero sympathy from me - and I'm Drone lvl 380. You are the smallest percentage in the game and don't seem to appreciate that other levels need to dominate battles in order to gain rss. That's how this - and every other attacking game - is designed, isn't it ??!
If you want an advantage then maybe BHG can make specific Info or Drone age boosts just for you - but calling for a defense that beats an attack is counter-intuitive to the basic design of the game.

Considering gaining resources is based off multiplayer attacks and not war attacks I dont see how your viewpoint applies to the conversation in that aspect. Paid to win drones as I suggested along with other pay to win stuff isn’t typically used for multiplayer attacks and resource gather.

If you’re going to take the name of the game Dominations into factoring your reasoning then we should also take into account how rich in history the game is with key historical events. Since historical events are now understood to be relevant you can be expected to take into consideration that as ages increase the more defense based civilizations become. Currently we are in drone age which I would consider the present day. Society now is more about defensive strategy than just going in and destroying other countries effortlessly. Russia/Ukraine is a prime example of this.

Ultimately none of this bickering matters because everyone has their opinion. You have yours, I have mine.

It's a game - plain & simple. It's allowed to have artistic licence. Yes the game has historical references but I would hardly compare a game against reality. You mention Society now is more about defensive strategy than just going in and destroying other countries effortlessly yet I don't see different countries forming alliances to go to war against other alliances on a regular basis. Russia vs Ukraine is an aberration of what mankind/warring has traditionally been. At least, for me, I'd like to think we're more enlightened than that.
Anyway, this game is reflective of what we used to do - but ultimately it's still just a game. imo.

ps: if your point is about wars and not mp battles, then the argument for better defense should be confined to wars. I'm hearing "better deff" and not "better deff in wars". But if BHG made any changes to deff, wouldn't it apply across the board?

pps: Let me change my comment from "If you want rss, wouldn't a stronger def make it harder for you to gain rss" to "if you want stars in WW, wouldn't a stronger def make it harder for you to gain stars" ? The result being you're shooting yourself in the foot.
BUT, if you want a stronger challenge when attacking, as opposed to wanting to stop others from attacking, then forget everything I've just said.

Hola, leyó todos los comentarios y la mayoría habla sobre bases y duplicación de tropas. Lo mío no se si nadie lo ha notado o no lo han discutido, pero siempre veo las repeticiones de los que me atacan y compartir con mi clan, esta semana he estado viendo y los que me atacaron estas dos últimas guerras uno ni me sacó ningunaa estrella en su ataque pero en su resultado le apareció las 5 estrellas cosa que le sumo la victoria su clan, y también ví el de otro compañero que le había sacado sólo 3 estrellas pero le marco las 5, y para colmo en el mapa mi base dice que resistí y tenía las 5 estrellas ganadas. Solo por eso pude ganar 92 a 82. No he visto
las bases pero si lo de las estrellas que si nadie revisa las batallas pasa inapreciable.

yes replays are inaccurate.

As always, please report Players you suspect of cheating to our CS team here with as much information as possible. This includes video, screenshots, time/date of encounter, etc. The more information the team has the better they can shut down a cheat/exploit and ensure variations of them are accounted for. We continue to monitor and take cheating seriously, but we, unfortunately, cannot divulge specifics regarding what we do to combat cheating.

Reports won't always receive an immediate response, please keep in mind these things take time to investigate before taking action.

I think it's useless. You are fighting the effect, but you need to eliminate the cause. Until you do this, the "server" will be used by more and more players. Ban everyone?

BHG, turn off the taps.
It's absolutely frightening what fair-playing alliances are facing in recent weeks. In particular, the top 100, 200 and even 300 alliances tend to be the most affected alliances.
The gates of hell opened and hundreds of players returned to using the server and exploiting the app's bugs. It's scary to see bases with 2 or 3 special constructions being used in an unlimited way, as well as Recon TT's, Stallion, Tupolev, BHM among others.
If you were really selling the amount of troops you are using in each battle, surely BHG would already be among the most profitable apps in history. But we know that is not the case.

I fully understand that the advancement of the game cannot stop, but getting rid of cheats should be the number 1 priority for everyone again. Those who do not support this are certainly on the side of those who are committing abuses.

Unfortunately many try to throw a smokescreen on this subject while I see players putting their accounts up for sale and others simply stop playing.

To be explicitly clear, selling accounts is against our ToS and players caught doing so will be dealt with accordingly.

The team is continuously working on combating vulnerabilities that pop up, unfortunately, they aren't always immediate fixes. We cannot disclose the methods of our investigations. We do rely on assistance from players in helping us gather data when encountering suspected cheating in the game. A cheat/exploit may show a similar end result, but to get that there may be a completely different method than what we've tackled before. It's why investigation and actions take time, like we said previously, we're trying to remove the official cause not just the results.

Do your developers have game accounts? Let them go to the top alliances and ask for a server, let them pay for it (on behalf of the company). You will have several accounts with this functionality and you can carefully see how it works from the inside. Is it really that difficult?

For a dozen bucks you will get a lot of useful information, which will then pay off 100%

It's time to try another approach to this problem.
We all know that Dominations is a pay-to-win game.
Offer a VIP account pass with premium troops and buildings.
Sell the same hacked package that players are interested in.
Obviously, with a compatible price.

It's not pay-to-win, it's pay-to-win-if-you-want-to-win-without-trying. Anyone can win without paying if they want to work at it instead of taking the easy way out.
Besides, there's nothing wrong with pay-to-win, it's what keeps the game free for the rest of us.
