That's what you get for playing online on PC. Nothing but hackers hacking all day long.
Time to move back to consoles, so we can also play Destiny.

Well, as I wrote the "restoring save" thing it's not true, since when people got flagged and they restored their saves, nothing changed and they are still banned.

Also From should really work on really updating their anti-cheat system, even if people don't alter weapon's stats, as some streamers showed there are plenty of ways to cheat, including the fact you can create an infinite amount of Steam account and keep cheating using family share.

I suspect Scamco's answer to this will probably be to disable Family Sharing instead of employing an ultra-basic implementation of VAC (multiple VAC bans from a single shared library triggers a revocation of Family Sharing privileges).

It works if you restore save to another account.

Honestly it would be much easier: just hire the dude who did Watchdog for DS1 so he can implement it in DS3. It worked well, way better than From anti-cheat at least.
He already stated he can implement it in DS3, but if he does so, it will trigger a ban of course.

Yeah, in fact this is the way cheaters keep going on.

Huge mobile ads

EviLore said:
We're running some tests on modernizing the extremely archaic and useless mobile ad units by utilizing google's responsive tags that will tailor the ad dimensions to the current standard ad sizes that Google serves for each class of mobile device these days. The old ad units didn't even fit the page layouts at all, generated almost zero revenue because they were designed for older low res devices primarily and are no longer really even used by advertisers, and those static-size tiny banners looked absolutely ridiculous when viewing mobile-gaf on tablets.

These responsive units should display standard desktop banners when viewing mobile-gaf on a high resolution tablet, which is totally appropriate and looks a hell of a lot more aesthetically sensible than a big empty bar with a pinhole ad in the center, and on high resolution smartphones the tags should utilize a moderately sized banner at the top of the screen and then a rectangle footer ad below all of the content and navigation controls. Yes, the rectangle is a little scary looking at first glance, but as it is below all the content and navigation controls it is not actually interfering with user experience to any significant degree that I can discern.

It's still two ad units, one above all the content, and one below all the content, and no shitty anchored ads that scroll with you, or interstitials, or any of that nonsense. Mobile-gaf was basically not monetized at all with the ad units it had in place, and these current-gen ones don't appear to harm user experience and also conform to the site layout better. If you have legitimate concerns here about user experience, feel free to provide feedback on that front.

I met about 3 hackers in DS3 but as allies. It still made me feel like a cheater, when they killed the bosses in 10 seconds.

Its Dark Souls. By taking advantage of buffs and weaknesses, using a fully upgrades weapon and have a tightly constructed build, many bosses can be done in 10 seconds without the need to cheat. The people you encountered could be legit.

Sure, but if your partner is not having any animation, doesnt lose health when getting hit and stands next to the boss all the time, I am sure thats a hacker.

I still haven't encountered any hackers in Dark Souls 3. I must be doing something wrong with the 100+ online encounters I've had.

Same.
I was a little worried to run around in boreal valley and the area after that after that one dudes cheat stream, but it's been fine. Aside from Aldrich faithful folks invading at the worst times.

It's been a while since the last time I'm grinding my ass to find my dream weapon.

Is the silver knight straight sword actually exist?

In other news: is there any chance of Dark Souls showing up in May's Humble Monthly?

Stellaris preordered after reading that it's supposed to be their most accessible game yet. In theory I'm fascinated by the genre but then I get overwhelmed and give up, last one I completely got into was Master of Orion.

Like DS1? 1%. Pretty sure the rule was just has never been bundled and I don't think it has been.

Not really. The problem you are describing is due to lag / net code. It's happening in all version of the game.

Valve Launches new anti-cheat policy.
According to the updated VAC support page, gamers will now be banned on the basis of the linked phone numbers. As a result, those having multiple accounts linked with that number will also be banned from the same game as the original cheater.

In case the other accounts do not own the game, they won't be able to purchase it, while new accounts will not be able to link the same phone number for a period of three months. Currently, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, one of the most popular multiplayer games on Steam, has enabled the phone number ban. However, it is at the discretion of the developers to introduce it for their games and may not be implemented by everyone. As per the CS: GO blog, the latest update already supports phone bans, so players with known hacks should stay wary.

Funnily enough, not really. The netcode is fucked up to infinity, and that can actually happen without any hacks whatsoever.
