Ok I know this is for suggestion, but these things are more of requirements. First, The server needs better anticheat so that it's not just filled with hackers. It's become a big problem. Second, the server needs much better hit detection. I have died many times because of this problem. Lastly, an afk timer would help a ton. As suggested by robosmith, voteparty should definitely still give you levels. I'm guessing the reason it was removed is because of all of the afk players just farming levels the whole day. We could bring the voteparty levels back if there was just an afk kick timer. I would much rather see improvements that fix the game first before new features are added.
Neutral. We are NEVER going to get a better anti-cheat. The only way we could improve is by removing the one we currently have as all it does is make it harder for legit players as the majority of the clients bypass it but legit players suffer the lower reach and hit detection from the anti-cheat. On your second point, I'm pretty sure it's the anti-cheat as well as other problems that are causing this bad hit detection. We've had to suffer this for years. Hit detection was perfect on this server but mid-late 2015 it started going downhill and it's never been fixed. Support an afk timer for Infection but not game modes like skyblock and factions where you afk alts on your spawners ect. But I think vote parties server-wide should be nerfed especially Infection and prison (if it's ever released).
Watchdog is trash, I clostcheated for like a year and only got banned for using forcefield LOL (Was a free leaked client that was ratted)
I'm looking into other things. However, what we've been using has been a well established anticheat that has been known to work very well. I've mentioned before, but things are a lot different compared to years ago. There is a ton of hacked clients out there, not just 1 or 2, each one has their own take on bypassing certain hacks, so whereas an anticheat can block a specific hack very well, a different client may easily bypass it. There is also a new bypass going around where some hacked clients can alter packets that are sent to/from the server, making any anticheat, even if its the absolute best useless. So this is why, some players say an anticheat from whatever server works very well and why some say it does nothing. A better approach we're taking, is monitoring those that are hacking, and banning them permanently along with their alts. Also, if these hit detection issues is related to infection only. It's something to do with the way disguises work. It's basically turning a player into a zombie, that of course can cause issues in hits registering. I'm trying to make this a bit better as well.
yo genius, I don't think the words "well established" fit for your anticheat. We've told you a 100 times how to stop people from bypassing https://www.mineverse.com/threads/suggestion-for-anticheat.151020/#post-1343313 just do it already it's just an easy fix and it will make the server MUCH better and MUCH more playable. Last time I told yall how to block the bypass, you listened after a couple months, it worked for a week, people found a new one that's exactly similar to the other one. Repeatedly getting kicked = bypass. Just make it so people don't get kicked ffs it's like you want the server to die
Crew has been loyal and dedicated to this server as a constant, for years. Though, the server is nowhere near as big as it was, he's stayed true to the players that still play his server, because he obviously cares about it. Saying he doesn't, is kind of like saying Trump is black. It's nonsense lol. I agree that we need a new, and better anti-cheat, as well as better hit detection and the whole other 9 yards, but you need to remember, that this stuff takes time, as well as money, and we just need to sit back and watch instead of complain.
Sit back and watch lmao do you hear what you're saying. This fix literally takes at MOST an hour if you're unexperienced with servers, I'm sure noob can stop people from getting kicked for spamming commands in a mather of minutes. That's all it takes 10minutes of his day and this bypass will not be possible anymore. It's just so easy to fix there is no reason for it not having been done other than lazyness or not caring. So don't come at me with your bs, you just want mod.
