I always find it interesting how many people are welcoming kernel-level anti-cheat software. I dislike cheaters as well, but granting a part of a game essentially full access to my system isn’t worth it at all in my opinion.
Also, I didn’t even realize that people commonly play this game on a public server. I thought this was more like a co-op experience on a private server/invite basis, or solo.
You can rent a server with 32 slots and keep your progression playing with buddies. Better than the joining players having to restart their progression to play in co-op
Yup, I’m actually hosting a Palworld server for friends on my root server. I think the invite-based multiplayer is limited to 4 players.
I don’t get the appeal of multi player in this game. Combat isn’t hard. Is it just base building with friends?
The only anti cheat I need is a private server with my friends. If they cheat I can just make fun of them for having to do it.
Remember getting put in jails and generally shamed worked better than any anti-cheat. Anti-cheat really has become trying to fix the issue of taking the option of private moderated servers away from players
If only they would fix the tiny annoyance of not saving local network settings. Just a pain to constantly having to type in the IP and password every time.
Yeah, but at least there’s the recent servers tab on the left and you can use that to join your private servers without typing the server address every time, just the password. A friend had to tell me that as my eyes completely missed this tab existing.
why would a game like this need anti cheat at all? they are using their energy all wrong 🙈
Because gamers have a large population of assholes who believe that making others get pissed off makes them feel better about themselves.
Just… play on a private server… Or single player.
DRG has no anticheat and has no issues with cheaters either.
I would not say that the game doesn’t have an issue with cheaters but it’s a different environment since it’s a p2p environment where the host can easily kick a cheater out.
Very different from the palworld public, persistent servers.
It’s pokemon Ark, it doesn’t need anticheat.
Yup, if you are worried about cheaters, play with people you trust or by yourself. I don’t see any benefit to playing with randoms…
It’s an uphill battle. Better to focus on allowing players to police themselves in close knit community servers.
