Hello. Love the game so far. But will there be a ranked queue in the future? I think it would drastically increase motivation to play the game for some people.

Ranked is planned as far as I know, yes.

Hello. The only threads that have been locked are those with accusations of spyware where we have presented our case and explained the issue. There is no discussion to be had on that matter beyond that point - the claims of spyware are false. We are running an anti-cheat that functions the same way as most others applied by many major online games. We are a Swedish company bound by Swedish and EU law. All data processed by Bloodhunt stays on servers in the EU, US and Singapore.

We have no issue with negative reviews and we in fact see them as a great way towards improving the game and making it better. We have had it with lies and misinformation though.

Hello,

We felt obligated to post this statement here as well for further visibility.

The spyware claim is blatantly false. This has been demonstrated in many articles already. Not only is it false, but it is also damaging to our first game, Bloodhunt, and our studio Sharkmob. By posting these types of unfounded reviews and discussions, you are potentially putting in jeopardy the work of more than 150 people who poured their sweat and blood into making Bloodhunt the game we are proud to call our first baby.

The allegation of Bloodhunts anti-cheat software being spyware surfaced a few days ago - and it is simply false. The rumor started after a community member discovered that the anti-cheat application was sometimes running for a short while after the game was shut down (for up to 90 seconds). A few files were also left on the hard-drive after uninstall of the game. These two problems were connected and classified as bugs by the development team. They hav... Read more

Originally posted by Gasuikan: Well the devs better start banning threads about spyware then. I report dozens of those fake news threads but they dont even delete or ban it. If Sharkmob really cares how about put some work into it. Take the reports seriously and start cleaning the forum?

Thanks for reporting and we are ramping up! With Discord, Support Ticket, and the game to attend to, we were spread a bit thin but hopefully it gets better soon.

Thanks!

Hey there,

We always welcome constructive criticism but I think everyone will agree this is not the case here. Therefore, there is no much point letting this discussion go on.

Thanks!

Or just very very bad programing in their anticheat. The game seemed cool, but I also kept crashing and couldn't get past the tutorial so that's great.

Hello Segfault. I don't know why your CPU runs at 100% but I can tell you that there is no spyware or bitcoin mining in our game.

Originally posted by PRSENahkaveturi: Nice to get an answer, but would more appreciate if u could give information why the game wont launch at all after updates. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of messages about this on your forums. Any update to those of us who cant still launch the game?

Sorry, but I don't have the answer to that. I recommend you contact the technical support, they are better able to help you with this kind of thing. https://support.sharkmob.com/hc/en-us

Hello! Glad you enjoy the game. We have indeed plans for additional content in the coming seasons. We haven't released many details on it yet though, except the next clan which will be the Ventrue (like Hendumaica pointed out above).

And do not worry, we will be working hard to deal with exploits and cheaters - it is a constant battle in a live multiplayer game.

Hey sHo. Agreed! We are working on educating more players about this crucial feature - both inside and outside of the game.

Hop on over to the public Discord. PM "Martin_Sharkmob". That's me.

so you want me to go by the fact that a person on the dev team on discord is the same as a rando level 11 profile on Steam?, how dose that prove anything, here is a thought get that account on Discord to post proof they are connected to you instead

So it isn't enough that I confirm to you, in person, through the official account on Discord? ... Read more

Hello. I am one of the devs at Sharkmob. The anti-cheat software we are using for Bloodhunt had two bugs in it at release. One such bug resulted in the application sometimes running for up to 90 seconds after shutting down the game. The other bug resulted in some files being left on the drive after uninstall (the bugs are in fact connected). Both of these bugs have been fixed and patched. There is no spyware in Bloodhunt, only an anti-cheat that functions the same way as most others used through out the industry. The community member who initially discovered the issue has even confirmed that it was bug related and nothing else.

Cheers and have a nice day!

Hello. I am one of the devs at Sharkmob. We launched into early access about two weeks ago. One reason we chose to go with an early access first was to fine tune some systems and features. The anti-cheat is one of those systems. In order for it to function optimally we need to run through a certain numbers of matches and player behaviors. We are also discovering some bugs that have allowed people to cheat - some of those bugs have already been fixed and others are being worked on. Even then, we know cheating is rampant in online games and cheaters will keep coming up with ways to abuse the systems. So its a constant battle and one we are willing to take in order to get a fair and enjoyable experience for the players.

Cheers and have a nice day!
