Cheaters

[Bubbley]

@londojowo Mino doesn’t usually play at the same time as me but because my mum is here I’ve not been tackling my objectives until the morning. This morning he made more than 5k in two minutes and he had already completed his objectives. Steelheart has come up quickly, he was in first place when I joined the league by which time most people had started. Grinding? We will see.

I sometimes have to read my objectives several times. I have had several contradictory ones this week. Today’s knockout 30 birds and knock out no birds. Lovely! Have you noticed when you get that all you seem to play is resurrection emblem.

In spite of it all I have enjoyed playing this week. Thanks.

Another cheater, look at his point, and his level is 46!! I think current version’s max level is 45, right??

[LondoJowo]

@bubbley Wow, I didn’t realize players had different objectives. No wonder some people can jump so quickly. Yesterday’s objectives for me was 1) Win arena battles and knock out 3 birds with red. 2) Win 3 battles without using the Rage Chilli. 3) Win arena battles and knock out 3 birds with one strike twice. I have not been able to accomplish the last objective.

I’ve enjoyed playing with you this week as well.

@anmcfan
You need to open a support ticket with Rovio support and send them a copy of that sreenshot.

[Bubbley]

@londojowo for knock out 3 birds with one strike I use bomb Palladian skulkers. Weaken with skulkers and paladin especially if enemy has red, his health is high, then explode the bomb. If you choose you can use captain self buffed for more power, I never do that although I regularly play with captain.

I have had those three objectives this week they commonly come as a group I find.

[angryde]

Still no obvious cheaters on my board… with two hours remaining… highest score is a feasible 140,000 points.

[Elespejo]

I found a cheater with over 10 000 000 arena points yestarday, but today is gone. It were removed or whatever?

[Eramaled]

How do you get two rage chilli uses in a row????, I have just been hammered by red using the chilli on there 1st attack, I then got hammered by chuck using the rage chilli on the second bird the opposition used. Looks like I’m going to loose this battle.

[Zack Voyager]

@eramaled I don’t know, but it could be the cumulation of several rage chili related skills and abilities.

[redbankmoz]

Someone in my league with a score ending in 6………..
Cheating?

[t_russell]

@eramaled @zackvoyager — The double rage is a bug. been around a while but is quite random.

@redbankmoz — Scores ending in anything but a 0 or 5 are the result of leaderboard hacking. You have a cheater indeed. Have you changed your player name to reflect this question as well. If so I see you on my board.

[Bubbley]

Oh well having cheaters in my league is normal but at least this week they have already declared themselves instead of waiting until Thursday. It’s so tiresome!

[Bubbley]

I am not really playing the Raiding Party event but within 1 second of the start a player named PAS had 6410 points. Rovio just doesn’t care.

[RuCustum]

I have the same player on mine as well. Pas has 6410

[Spartacus]

Pas has 6410 on mine also.

[Bubbley]

@rucustum are we in the same league I play as Bubbley?

[RuCustum]

@bubbley
I do not see you, I play as RUCUSTUM. I have 6 players with no score, but only 2 of them are unnamed. I also have 2 players named Thor that are both level 20. that is weird.

[Dahnlor]

I don’t have PAS, but I do have some fishiness in my event group. After I completed my first fight about 45 minutes after the event started, there was one player with a significant lead with close to 3000 points. Obviously not impossible, presuming the use of stamina potions. However, after completing my second battle, which should have put me in 2nd place, I found myself in 3rd with now two players at close to 3000 points. Each has a different name, but the same image of a bird next to their names.

Checking further down the list, I found two more players (with zero or very few points) that had the same image by their names, and three more that also shared another image that was similar to the two leaders. I’ll post screen shots when I figure out how to do that.

[Dahnlor]

Here’s the top of my leaderboard:

Either “Pands” or “FY” popped up within the time it took me to complete one 7-stamina fight.

And the two additional players with the same drawing of a red bird (two players with similar drawings of a brown bird can be seen as well):

There’s a third brown bird named “Hard” not shown.

Oddly enough, none of the other players in my group have images at all, and all but two of those are “Unnamed Player”, and one is named “Thor” like one of the birds. May be too soon to assume cheating here, but a strange draw nonetheless.

[RuCustum]

@dahnlor
I have PANDS on my list with the same score(3200). I also have Thor on my list, twice. He/she has a score of 745 on the 1st one, and a zero on the 2nd.5 players have the exact same image as the one Thor has in your bottom picture.

too much coincidence?

[MVNLA2]

@dahnlor @rucustum — Amazing. I have Pands at 3200 (red bird); Thor (no avatar) @745; Vyomkeshbakshi (brown bird) @40; Chgchhchohoohxrz (red bird) @0; Nabo (red bird) @0; Thor (brown bird) @0. I have 2 more of those birds: Pas (brown bird) @6410; Muuna (brown bird) @3100.
Maybe this is Rovio’s new way of dealing with creating full leaderboards?
Anyway, very strange. Will be interesting to see if any of their scores change as game progresses.

[Dahnlor]

@rucustum @mvnla2
Yeah, #5 on my list is the “Thor” with no picture, also with exactly 745 points.

Does anyone on either of your lists look “normal”?

[MVNLA2]

@roviokien @roviolumberjack — What’s going on with the repeated players across many leaderboards, and with the similar avatars?

[RuCustum]

Seems like you have all the names I have on mine. This is the current list:
Pas @ 6410
PANDS @ 3200
MUUNA @ 3100
FY @ 2955
RUCUSTUM (me) @ 2150
THOR @ 745
VYOMKESHBAKSHI @ 40
CHGCHHCHOHOOHXRZ @ 0
unnamed Player @ 0
THOR @ 0
NABO @ 0
HARD @ 0
Unnmaed Player @ 0

[AMslimfordy]

Pas is a dummy character. Not a cheater; just motivation.

[Bubbley]

@rucustum @dahnlor @mvnla2 the players in my league just vanished but both Pas and Thor were in it with the same avatar. I can’t remember the other names apart from @pal9 but I think Fy may have been one of them.

Edit: Thor is level 20 with 0 points. Fy is not in my league.
