Overwatch Cheaters Will Get Slapped In The Face By Blizzard!

Overwatch Cheaters Will Receive Permanent Bans, Blizzard Confirms

Blizzard Entertainment has outlined its policy on cheating and hacks for the soon-to-launch shooter Overwatch. In a forum
post, the developer said "Play nice, play fair" is a "core value" for Blizzard, and as such, there will be stiff penalties for cheaters."If a player is found to be cheating--or using hacks, bots, or third-party software that provides any sort of
unfair advantage--that player will be permanently banned from the game. Full stop," the developer said.

Blizzard is taking such a hard line because it said it believes cheating "undermine the spirit of play" and also impacts other players' enjoyment. The developer stressed that is has systems in place to monitor the game
in search of "exploitative behavior" and will "take action as needed to preserve the integrity of game."

"We've always taken cheating in Blizzard games very seriously, and that stance is no different for Overwatch."

However, don't expect Blizzard to publicly announce when cheaters are caught.

"We are unlikely to publicly acknowledge when accounts are closed as a result of cheating or using unauthorized programs," the developer said.

Blizzard also confirmed that Overwatch will have an in-game player-reporting feature that can be used to alert the developer to suspicious behavior. Additionally, you can send tips to Blizzard at *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***. You will
not receive a response from Blizzard, but the company said it monitors the mail that is sent to the inbox. In fact, the company has already tweaked the game and kicked players out in the beta who were discovered to be cheating, Blizzard said.

Before you report a player, however, you may want to consider the following items (written by Blizzard):

• Our in-game camera system does not always play back footage at the same fidelity as real-time gameplay (this loss in fidelity applies to the killcam, Plays of the Game, Highlights, and--to a lesser extent--the spectator
  camera as well). This can sometimes result in a player's aim appearing more snappy or less fluid in playback than it did in-game.
  

• With the above, there may be bugs with the in-game camera system that affect playback footage. In the closed beta, we actually had a bug that caused the killcam and spectator camera angle to suddenly "snap" whenever Zarya
  cast Particle Barrier or Projected Barrier. While we're unaware of any issues with the camera system at present, undiscovered bugs are always a possibility to consider.
  

• Lastly, some players are just really good at first-person shooters. Through practice and years of experience, these players' movements and reaction times can occasionally appear unnatural (if not physically impossible)
  to those who may not have been exposed to that particular level of play before.
  

In other news about Overwatch, the game's recently concluded beta attracted 9.7
million players, which is more than the betas for Destiny, The Division, and Star Wars Battlefront.
Overwatch launches on May 24 for PC,PlayStation 4, and Xbox
One.

Overwatch Xbox One

Blizzard: Xbox One X hardware 'incredible,' Overwatch 4K enhancements on the way

 

Phil Spencer & Co. slapped everyone in the face ...

I like to get slapped in the face

 

Every game should have these features Blizzard is implementing.

I'm glad they are doing it.

 

im glad they are implementing it but the console player base will have moved on within a month. It just doesnt have enough substance under the hood imo - esp for a £50 release

 

so they are actually saying there visuals are sub par and the information they capture isn't presented in there visuals, as a result we can ascertain cheating using visuals.

They should however be able to compare button presses and stats such as damage per second and accuracy etc, but they won't so as with any system I won't believe in it.

Player reports are pointless it should be an automatic process when loading in to establish if you've cheated.

 

There'll only be about 50 people playing this by week 2.

 

^ Sounds about right. Only 9.7 million people played the beta. I'm guessing only 100 of them will actually buy the game.

Nearly 10 Million People Participated in Overwatch's Open Beta

Hello everyone

.........

I find it interesting on how Diablo 3 doesn't have a system in which cheaters would get in trouble yet Overwatch does.

.........

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone

"Some of the shifts you may be seeing on leaderboards are a direct result of a recent ban wave issued for cheating.

Players that were found to be in violation were removed from the leaderboards and other rankings have been adjusted appropriately as a result. This means your ranking may have increased if someone ranked above you was removed from the leaderboard. As we
move forward to future seasons and eras, we'll be continuing to monitor for such behavior and take appropriate action, though we may not always message when such ban waves occur".

COD really needs this too. COD kids BEWARE. I wish Microsoft was this strict!

 

What I would do to get rid of the children in cod,,,,,,,,,,,

 

I think lots of kids still hang out on Xbox 360. The majority of my full Xbox 360 friends list, still play on Xbox 360 with like only 22 or so of them have an Xbox 1. When I play Forza 6 or Halo or COD BO3 or COD AW on Xbox 1, I only run into mature people
on it. There's like no one playing music in the background or stuff. I got so bored a few times I played my music through my Kinect and mic. I want at least some hype otherwise it feels like a morgue. I know some games penalize you for how you play. Like Halo
Reach will give you temporary bans if you quit. And Forza Horizon, and Rocket League for Xbox 1, will kick you from the game if you're afk.

But it's good to see a game developer policing their game without relying on filing a complaint/report to Microsoft.

I've seen the Overwatch ad on the dash, it looks kwl. I'll look into getting it, but Xbox is charging NZ$114.95 for the digital version, where as JB Hi Fi (which for you Americans is an Australia/NZ retailer) is offering it for NZ$94. Releases 24/5/2016....
that's Tuesday next week ^u^

Games I'm interested in getting this year on Xbox are Final Fantasy XV, Recore, Mirrors Edge, Star Trek Online.

 

Kids who play music through mics and annoy other gamers should be banned from Live forever.
