I’ve always said that the worst part of any multiplayer game is the people you play with. Yes, there are some absolute gem moments of camaraderie and teamwork, but most of the time, you have to deal with the worst sides of people, as some players in Dune: Awakening<\/a> have sadly found out for themselves.<\/p>\n

Apparently, there’s been a group of hackers in Dune: Awakening that not only manipulate the speed of a carrier to make it move faster than an MK6 Scout at full speed, but they’ve been using this to pluck other players’ ornithopters out of the sky, take them to a remote location and then execute them.<\/p>\n

One encounter was caught on video by a redditor SpooN04<\/a>: “We know their names, our whole server knows their names. Players on their first day in Dune learn their names. There have been hundreds of reports with evidence just like this. We have been reporting them since near-launch.” SpooN04 has made it their life’s mission to keep sacrificing the (kind of expensive) ‘thopters until Funcom finally cracks down.<\/p>\n

“Technical limitations to detect hacking are one thing, but blatantly ignoring an entire server’s multitude of CS tickets for weeks is some grade A bullshit. The hackers have said that I am personally on their hit list now. But I will keep sacrificing thopters for video evidence until Funcom’s CS finally lifts a finger. (Funcom reward my faith in you).”<\/p>\n
