It would be a good idea to directly address the hackers issue ASAP. This game is great, probably one of the best games I have played in years. However, the reason it is great, is Rocket had this great idea to make a totally immesive game where everything is on the line during every confontation. Balls deep everytime, all the time. AWESOME concept Problem is, this is 100% destroyed in 2 seconds by a hacker. Would love to donate to this game, commit my time to it, love the concept and gameplay. However, tonight this is how my groups night went: US 239: Guys in black escalade looking SUV ran over my buddy who was in the woods somewhere SE of Stary. 5 mins later, I was ran over in a field about 5 KM away. AWESOME, lost days worth of gear. Okay that could of been a coiencidence, maybe they added some new SUV and these guys just randomly found us. US 257: a minute after log in: THUNDERDOME BITCHES!! WOOOOOOO! US 540: couple minutes after log in: see 257 US 1586: Everyone becomes goats. Awesome. Farmville. good times. You should consider dealing with this, game was unplayable on 4 servers withing an hour on 8/1/12 due to mass hacks. Massive exodus of playerbase if you let conditions such as this exist on a daily basis. This game has a huge income potential but once it goes viral on social media that hackers can have free reign, the potential exists for dying out, as quickly as it became popular. my 2 cents, hopefully planetside 2 beta starts soon if you don't deal with this, yeah SOE sucks but atleast they deal with hackers. Love the game and will try again tomorrow, but hackers will hack unless u deal with it.
