With the fall of the pizza guy, I don't see how that's possible...he shall never be forgotten, though.

This. This sound accurate. Familiar, too. Not sure why.

Yes. The "EA" in my username stands for...not Electronic Arts.

Honestly, I thought the two of you were escorting Luke to be executed via the open shafts or something, like walking the plank. He accepted his death and wanted to go out with some dignity.

"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the F—...oh."

Just wanted to state that the team are aware of this and are investigating it, we don't have any updates to provide at the moment but your comments are being heard on it. Sorry for the inconvenience folks!

Can you at least comment about protections against hackers? I know it's been a problem since launch on this game, went away for awhile, but recently on PC I've been seeing more aimbotters recently.

Nothing I can commit to right now, but we’re talking. Trust me, we hate it when people ruin our games for others.

Pity this post has been removed even though you guys appreciate me bringing this to your attention.

The mods made the right call. It's the same reason why we don't comment on this stuff too much. It leads to witchhunts and worse. Better to handle these things privately.

Hey I really hope the way that these trolls are talking to you doesn’t impact how you work on these issues.

It doesn't. The team gets the feedback, never the negative attitudes. Though that's for me to take, I call it out when it goes too far. We should all hold each other to a higher standard.

Lmao, Battlefield 1 everybody? They did this too and it's from the same devs.

So, the logical assumption is that it's clearly more complicated than it seems if the same people have shown they can do it elsewhere.

I mean, you could also just say 'No we're not doing anything about this'

That would be lying.

I feel like that's up to debate.

u/ea_charlemagne anything to say about this? These type of posts should receive dev responses.

There are multiple different asks about this sort of thing, so there's no one answer. Some people want a map/super high birds-eye view, some people want a nice scene, some people want a live look at the game, etc. So yeah, all of it is up for debate, per se, haha. Nothing else I can really say though since I don't want players to mistake it for a commitment. We're aware players want something like this, but we don't have any plans to share.

whatever it takes for devs to actually acknowledge this :)

We rarely comment on these matters due to legal reasons, as we've said many, many times. You being downright rude in several comments you've made to me is not appropriate. I brought this up to our team directly during the weekend.

Comment

Thanks! I've brought this directly to our security team over the weekend when it was flagged to me. I won't be able to provide updates beyond that, though.

Stop being a jerk. I'm trying to be helpful and you're just being condescending. That doesn't make anything better. I'm talking to the team about this right now.

what do we need to provide to get thing done more quickly?

Every time i see an aimbotter. i just choose:

Cheating/client hack > in-game

    additional comment: 

    aimbotting/one shotting

three months later the aimbotter is still there.

Preferably, the username of the person as well as any screenshots/footage.

hey bud, any update on how that tracking is going? thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm not able to provide details into on-going or past investigations.

Instead of reporting through Origin, report through the EA website. I did that and had a representative reply to me right away saying they were investigating the cheater's account. I haven't seen him since and I used to see him all the time. I'm hopeful my report worked!

help.ea.com is definitely a fantastic way to report since it allows you to provide way more information.

Comment

Wow, Ben. I can't believe you'd do this. For shame. I'm reporting you to DICE.

This isn't something we are currently working on bringing back, however there are a few people asking for it on a regular basis and if interest is shown who knows what might happen. Will continue to relay through to the team :)
