Ximming is about to be detected

Yes, greatly reduce the matchmaking pool for yourself in a game that is already hurting for players.

Let us know how that works out for you in the end.

I see no problem here…

Id gladly wait 10 minutes between matches if it means no console feeders on my team…

One thing is accidentally having softwares that DO put overlays and get into game files marked as cheat engines even if they arent. Specially after updates that add functions or just some lines of code that should not be there.

Another very different thing is hardware detecting other hardware that poses no issue so far in dozens of titles across all consoles.

Hell, some consoles are capable of detecting if you plugged in a brand peripheral accessory or not. Nintendo is specially good at this.

Before getting paranoid and despondent over a single word, research how both cases actually work because so far you have done nothing but ambiguously whine about words that scare you.

Lol im a pc player… all i see here is potential to get consoles out of pc lobbys.

So im all for (abusing) it

What I hope is K&M support, and adding ximm to that group (which, lets be honest, would kill people actually using ximm).

And controller people left playing controller people.

The real question is direct M&K support going to happen, given they didn’t talk about it, likely not, which honestly is a shame. But, who knows.

updated the OG post with the link.

it would be easy enough to pick it up server side statistically from the inputs

they can’t really do much about this, short of restricting the range to match the controller (which would defeat the point)

I’ve talked about this a bit but we are working on XIM detection so that we can stop this from happening.

so given the clan system still isn’t implemented, I guess we’ll get this by about 2080 or so?

Nah I think it is about to drop next season. Back channels say they have it working, it is tying into other systems is happening.

I wasn’t surprised as it was only a matter of time. The genius of exploiting digital security moves only slightly faster than digital security itself with most things that are massively abused continue to be exploited because they are behind-the-times/lazy.

If new software is able to detect the way that XIMs and other hardware mimics work, it shouldn’t surprise anyone. The only thing that shocks me is Overwatch/Blizzard actually doing anything about it.

After everyone else has already turned into into an art form.

I’d also would like to add that if ACTIVISION can do something about this, a company that I absolutely label as a failure in almost everything they attempt, that’s even more sad for Blizzard’s end. Especially since they are related by blood at this point.

That i can say will never happen… because the players who would still choose to use a controller would have meltdowns because ā€œits unfairā€ to them

Other games have done it, but they end up in the PC groups.

With gyro controllers will be able to match kbm

You don’t need xim or aim assist with gyro

Exact quote from Jared Neuss. Its nice to know that theyre supposedly doing something, but this is Blizzard. They dont have any credibility left. This could come 2 years from now, this could never come.

I never understood why players want MnK for consoles. Play on PC then? But anyways…
Considering Blizz’s timing we’ll probably wait a loooong time for this.

It sure sounds personal

Why be a piece of garbagio when you could just play the game?

Why am i as a pc player forced to share lobbys with console players…

People want to cross play, i have no issue with that… i just should not be forced to participate in it as a pc player

The ablity to opt out is to much to ask for obviously

Who cares? Very few people, that’s why it is the way it is

If you cared about serious matches then you’d be playing comp anyways. Stop projecting your own inadequacies on others.

Nice try, but i got that out of my system a decade ago… i work though my issues, not run away from them…

You clearly arent familiar with who i am…

You think i get mad about loosing? Lmfao… im the guy who does everything in his power, within the context of the ToS, to make every crossplay group im matched with loose…

Had a 4top (3 consoles) the other day… played hammer only torb, the enture match, no turret, no rivetgun… only hammer and overload…

Surprisingly kept up with damage… and only won because the match was heavily stacked…

So its not an adequacy issue… its more about wanting even matches.
