"even if remotely, there is some kind of lag hacking in this game?
It has happened many times before but i just shrugged off as being a coincidence, but boy oh boy, at some point you start to be wary of certain “coincidences”.
On several occasions, on very tight games, out of the blue i start to lag and get disconnected when im just about to win. And the strangest thing is i wasnt lagging before, just at that precise moment when im about to finish my opponent.
Oh, and on EVERY other occasion when i get disconnected in an ordinary game i can simply alt+f4 and resume where i stopped, but not in these games that i just mentioned, whenever i close the game and get back i simply start over as if wasnt playing a match."
Well, guess what just happened…
ON MY LAST HIT, when i had lethal and was going for the kill, i get disconnected…
i wasn’t lagging before or after that, but solely and precisely there… screw this game
Ofc you don’t have to hack Blizzard servers in order to drophack someone
You can also just intercept packets of internet signals with a sniffer while the signal is travelling TO the blizzard server, but you would have to know some details about your opponent to make it feasible (IP, or at least where it’s coming from and from which ISP)
The net code in this game is terrible. Your client does not recover from a dropped packet in a sequenced event, you just hang from desyncing.
Your opponent can’t directly do anything to you, but if they understand how certain cards are coded they can sometimes trigger these conditions. The warrior pirate card Nellie, which had the player pick 3 discovered cards in a row was one such example. If the playing player snap picked their choices it often cause the opponent to desync and have to manually restart their client (if they noticed and did so fast enough).
The game needs a rebuild, but money money money, nothing will be done.
When you have the option to debate by giving actual arguments, or to directly accuse of gaslighting, and you chose the second option, you’re the one escalating
Im not the one telling people its impossible to interrupt an internet connection tho.
And if i knew more than the very basics of information theory then obviously id back up my statement with facts about packet loss and resolving at the host versus client side, but since im ignorant to that i kept my mouth shut.
Neither did the person before you, even though you just implied that they did, they just said that the most likely is a personnal connection issue rather than someone hacking blizzard’s servers
So that’s what you call keeping your mouth shut about a topic you admit knowing nothing about ?
I don’t want to see what it’s like when you think you have something relevant to say.
Your only argument is that hacks do exist in other games
It’s not because they exist in other game sthat they can exist in this one
It’s not because they can exist in that game that they are the only answer to a lag issue
You can steal gas from a gas car doesn’t mean you can steal gas from an electric car.
You can steal gas from a gas car doesn’t mean that your car is out of gas because it has been stolen.
Yes, maybe hacks may exist that explain what OP is experiencing on rare occasions, but even without technical knowledge you can use your own intellect to think about what’s the most LIKELY.
You’ll notice that not only are there a really small amount of people complaining about hacks, but also they complain about being hacked often
Just quoting OP : “It has happened many times before”, “On several occasions”…
So what’s the more realistic ?
A very small number of players is experiencing hacks on a regular basis that no one is experiencing, meaning there’s a vast hackers community that manage to target only these players ?
Or there are a very small number of players that have specific conditions making them disconnected more than other players ? It can range from driver issue, software, hardware, internet provider, geographical specificities… Not things being on the player’s fault necessarily, but just factors that lead to this issue when paired with blizzard’s servers system. I’d like ot remember you that there’s a pinned post in the bug report section about connection losses, proof that there’s a long history of server disconnects on blizzard’s side.
People that would be experiencing hacks are way more enclined to report it, as opposed to people not reporting what they are not experiencing
Based on the fact that there are almost no reports of hacks, the conclusion is that there are a very small number of people affected by what they think (and maybe that’s true) are hacks
Proof being that there was a lot more reports about bots accounts in PvP before the big ban waves, even though these bots were only present in specific matchmaking rankings, facing a very reduced pool of players
So you admit not being familiar with network coding and server protocols but have no problem denying the need to hack blizzard servers in some way to willingly disconnect another user ?
It would be fine if you were just talking about lag switches to raise a point of attention, but no you use it as proof to deny someone’s reasonnable explanation AND call them gaslighters
You’re the one twisting the words of the first person you replied to.
NO ONE in this thread said that it’s impossible to interrupt an internet connection, even though that’s what you imply to deny the fact that you started the escalation
Quick tip against escalation : being wrong is not lying. So next time you see someone that you think say something incorrect, maybe simply try to correct what they say instead of calling them gaslighters.
Great, so you’ve had gas stolen from your gas car, can we move on to the problem of the other car now ? The one you don’t know if it’s a gas one or if it’s protected about how your gas has been stolen.
Also your experience, as interesting as it can be, is not a proof for the current situation.
I’ve experienced huge connectivity issues on an online multiplayer game, and it solved itself the day I updated my graphic driver. So Obviously my experience leads to the only conclusion that OP’s problem comes from their driver, right ?
What you call “essays” is simply giving arguments. You know like in a discussion, some people react with emotion and make quick claims with no backup to their sayings, while others try to communicate in a meaningfull way by providing context, examples…
Sadly writting something elaborate can hardly be made in a few lines, like denying someone’s opinion without a single argument.
And in the other topics that i tried to make people aware of lag switches and was met with the same belligerence? “Lag switches dont work because x and y”, and “if someone was hacking they wouldnt be doing it to win a video game” blah blah.
And all those words you wasted time on.
If you cant convey a thought in simplicity then simple minds wont ever comprehend it and will often meet it with defiance.
This is amazing, it just happened again…
Not before, not after, but precisely when i go for the kill.
I just can’t explain this… i think its the universe telling me to stop playing this game.
Sounds more like a technical issue. It is unlikely, that almost noone experiences hacks, and it happens frequently to you.
I had a similar problem. I fixed it by turning off screen shaking. Turns out my tablet couldn’t handle it well. When I would’ve won, the game bugged, because the screen shakes when the opponent explodes.
So, it only took another month for it to happen again?!?
Wow, you have (not) convinced me that it must be “hackers” and not an issue with your device, or connection.
Thats the only logical explanation! You would be rank 1 legend, if not for these cheaters! I am sure of it!!!
