box bots back?

so i have a member in my clan who is in 1-1 and has been in 1-1 for about 8 hours straight and hes flying from box to box in straight lines no stopping or anything just goes straight from box to box even if the 2 boxes are on the opposite sides on the map from each other he still goes straight to it and hes not accepting my invites or answering my whispers and isn't reacting to me flying next to him.

soo are box bots back? or has he just not been caught yet?
and ive seen a few other people say they have seen a few bots here and there in the past few days... so i think DO should running those scripts again.

 

Lol, when I was in 3-1, I think I saw the same guy, can't remember much though, just saw him in a Piranha, flying in straight lines, box to box, etc.

So yea, I agree, they may be back.

 

If they did, they will be detected and banned, I see any problem

 

Nothing is unhackable. I do not have a large amount of knowledge about computer software, but it is to my understanding that flash games (such as Dark Orbit) are fairly easy to hack. Dark Orbit can try as hard as they can, but they can never permanently get rid of botters forever. People that hack can always find loop holes and windows to plant their code, no matter how secure the data is.

A moderator will probably just close this in a couple of minutes/ hours because support will tell them that the game is "Bot free".

 

I can see bots being back, explains the amount of cloaked vru in 4-3 boxing and not running for their base. Also explains how their going from noobs to hitting 20k more x4 in a week.

 

Like everyone says, DO can only rebuild the wall to keep them out. But like any wall, there are cracks that some people look for and try to sneak in. They all get caught. Maybe not right now, maybe not next month. But they all get caught. So watch for the signs of these cheap clowns. Target and fire. Pop them until your out of ammo. If they are in a clan then do what I do. Send war to the clan and explain that you are only targeting their one player or however many there are botting. At the very least, take advantage of the free kills before they are gone.

 

LOL kinda what I was doing the other day in 4-3 lol. Sad thing was, I got auto locked 3 times. And yes, the auto lockers are still here. they never left, if im cloaked, and 3 people from a known cheat clan come flying in already shooting me, something is wrong.

 

IF packet bots they will be banned in No time as long as BP is not Dealing with Bot Developers there were rumours that BP was Having Deal with Packet bot developers.

 

i will try to express myself without message get deleted

u botters & cheaters have destroyed our loving game
get out of here & let us play fair

 

The bots never left completely and they never will, they just got reduced drastically in numbers and changed how they work, they went from packet to pixel.

The infamous packet bots, the ones that were the kings of the bot scene for 3 years and made thousands from it have actually shut down, their websites no longer exist.
They just made way for the pixel bots which are much less efficient and can't do anything near as much as packet programs could do due to them being pixel based.

I doubt they will ever return to the game with the numbers that there used to be but I also highly doubt they will ever go away, there will always be people willing to risk their account being straight up deleted for the chance of easy uridium ^^

I think people forget that DarkOrbit isn't BP's only game, there were bots on loads of BP's games, all developed by different people. The whole idea of BP being "in" with the bots is a rumor and nothing else, people like a conspiracy story that makes BP look corrupt in anyway.

Why would they intentionally try to kill many of their own games for years.

 

Packets bots will be once again easy for BP to find but i believe BP will never get 100% results on Pixel bots it's a Very hard thing for them and i bet there ban waves for Pixel bots will only be fail and ban innocent people that collect Palla just to keep their Ship up and don't spend money,1 of my friend got like 29LF-4 from doing only palla.He is a free player,Never bought premium and he is Almost UFE.

Well i don't know that much but There were hell load of Rumours and in just 1 day Bigpoint Did that they never did in 4-5years banned everyone botting in just 1 day.
All Bots went off like Crap they never went off like before so i think BP was involved.Well that was Past Though.

 

Now all we have to deal with are those past infamous bot users. I have an acquaintance on this game who used a bot the past 2 years before they where banned.

He still has his account, stopped botting before the big hit. But he still has 65 LF-4's, all 10 drones, all havoc's and hurc's. 10 million x4.. 2 million RSB and a few million Uri left.. and a full pilot bio.

So even though he doesn't bot any more he still cruises the maps one hit popping noobs and 3 hit popping other fine players.

With all that he has accumulated and may I add "illigally" we the legitimate players will have to put up with him for some years to come. So where's the justice for us?

Remember, this is only one player I have mentioned here, I know of many!!

They use to be my comrades here on the game, but now I don't speak with any of them. I feel they have cheated me and the rest of the legitimate community out of a once awesome game.

If these cheaters have returned I truly hope they are stupid enough to be caught and "DELETED" not suspended or have an easy thing like BIO taken away.

Peace

 

it seems that those who make bots ...evolving
DO hope to identify players using bots

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

 

Lest you forget BP denied the existence of bots for years. It was bannable to mention it and when you wrote "support" (player volunteers) they would respond with the usual canned response of no that isn't happening. Its hard to defend BP in anyway. Even as player mods, they dont value you actually reporting bad mods or pointing out flaws. no no they reward loyalty above all else, even if it screws the player base.

 

They have actually been banning bots for years, just not as effective and giving out stages instead of deleting the account so the effect wasn't as obvious. It's not been a case of 0 bans then all of a sudden all bans.

There was many anti-bot scripts that worked, but only for a month or so then the bots found a way around it, it just so happens that this anti-bot script is the best one yet for packet programs.

Years? Think you are over exaggerating that quite a lot.
They denied the existence of bots for a couple months at most.

It was bannable to accuse people of doing it in chat because you cannot provide proof in chat.
When the bots first started on the old client support would delete someones account is you sent in a video of them botting.

The whole reason an anti-bot script was made is due to support wrongly banning people for looking like they were botting (collecting boxes cloaked) off player recorded videos.
So support did try to help with he situation but their ability to do so was taken away.

 

Okay I case boxs all the time. Even when I'm shooting npc's. I am alway's in control of my ship. I do not join in on company's unless they talk to me first in the chat window. Figure if you don't wish to talk to me why join up. Then we have those day's when the chat window does not work. that has been going on for 2 day's now for me. So they may not be bots just don't feel like joining up. One thing more When I 1st started playing if I joined a company or got to close to a group the lag was so bad I could not play the game. Its seams to not happen any more but it stopped me from joining a company for a while. Any way if they are bots ban them but make "sure " I was one of those who got banned by a bad writing script not to long ago. Have fun

 

They were never gone i think. Second spaceball i'm playing that same guy got me on lock in no time while flying in cloak.
And about the box bots i guess they were never gone either.. Always see 2 guys in 3-1 and 1 guy in 3-8 cloaked flying from box to box.. Every time i'm online i see them, if i trow emp on them they instant use cloak again.

 

Yeah me and a buddy were whipping out 4-3 the other night so I could get the rest of my rank points to rank up (I did) Some of the players I thought was weird they got strong in a week ended up being locks we got, and what did they do? Went straight to box to box to box. Not once did they run and stop in base, and they all died. Not that base would of helped them, I popped 5 people in it :3 but they didn't know that lol they died before that happened

 

I haven't really noticed any box bot using. Guess I just don't pay much attention to it now. Mind you, when I am on I'm generally in a enemy map so when I see a cloaked ship it's a red dot so I track it, lock it, kill it Oh, they still run, but not far lol

Peace

 

go to 4-3 after base defenses, go ahead and look around for the cloaked boxers, then shoot them. watch how they keep collecting and don't bother running, also saw a member from our frenchy clan in 2-4 circling npc's today
