  • H could have also had his game bug out like mine and his standards turned into heroics last week.,.. I dunno.

    Lol, did that really happen?

    He either cheated or stole someone's identity. I know how much I have spent. Since release I've spent a fairly consistent amount per week. That guy had to spend 3 times more than me, in addition to regular play of about 20 hours of week.

    I think the amount of time and money I put into the ga me is extraordinary. That guy would have to be beyond that.

    You've been very forthcoming with info about how much you've spent (amongst a lot of other useful tidbits) and I actually think of you every time I see a roster like this. There is only one person out there who can say no one has spent more than them on this game and it's highly unlikely (just by the numbers) that person is on this forum. I for one would be very curious to see the roster of the highest spender.

    I didn't personally have any unopened at the time but there were a few on here that were affected. But in general it seemed to be isolated to a small subset of players.
  • That's an enormous amount of Iso. Without having additional characters at partial levels I can't see how its legit. I level up characters to the point where I feel I can use them. Then I raise their level depending on how useful I deem they will be.

    Dr. Doom was my first maxed 3-star though his max is 115. I only recently maxed gsbw, im40, and hulk.
  • All I would say here, has anyone seen this person in events before now? You'd expect a player with a roster of that strength to have been performing at the top end of the game. After all, if they have not done anything before now, why bother having such a strong roster?

    Knowing how much I have spent on this game, to get a roster of that strength without playing in events, would cost a colossal amount of money.

    Yes sir. I recorded all my token pulls in the spreadsheet. You can see one or two other people on the spreadsheet that had the same thing happen to them.

    And Bugpops suggestion about identity theft is a very likely alternative to cheating - it is fairly common for identity thieves to max out stolen credit cards on in game currency because it is harder to track down online purchases without shipping addresses.

    I haven't cashed mine in yet and got all the way up to 180 stashed heroics. One day...one day...

    I hope when you inevitably complete your roster, Someone posts a picture of it with your name on it and calls you a cheater.

    People who have been playing since day one and spending money are nowhere even close to this guy. This is literally thousands of dollars spent if its legit. Are you really that oblivious?

    I see you haven't come across Delusional Dave the Mighty before if you have to ask that question

    Its one thing to have some nicely leveled 3^, maybe even 10 maxed. To have everyone maxed out is impossible without spending money. Esp when you throw in the 4^ characters.

    Also someone posted that it costs over $100 in ISO to max 1 3^ not to mention buying all those HP for the covers and roster space. I dont even think someone who has played from day 1 could reach this guys level if they spent $1000 tomorrow.

    9/10 this is a cheater. I never looked into this game but other games will have someone go in do their thing and give you everthing for like $10. I think thats how you can tell this guy is a cheater, HE HAS EVERYTHING,

    I actually think its easier for hackers to just take 1 of everything than going in and maxing only some stuff out.

    That's what the devs said, but that's also what the devs want you to hear. Whether this is true or not is unclear to me. There has to be a step up in terms of fighting cheaters, because now it just looks like a witch hunt. People reporting when they think someone is a cheater, devs encouraging those reports with forum posts. It's utterly ridiculous.

    Maybe if you looked for some evidence it would become clear to you? We have seen cheaters vanish from the leaderboards of events. We have even seen them crowing on Steam forums only to have it pointed out to them that they don't actually exist officially anymore.
  • His roster is worth like $3000.00 or more. Im f*cking jealous. :c

    It's a miracle to have 2 X-forces maxed, 2 Patches maxed, 2 Hulks maxed ( he/she had to buy the red covers), and he/she probably the only person i have seen with psylocke maxed.

    If we are asked to report cheaters, it only means one thing, their internal tools to detect them don't work very well. And detecting cheaters is the only thing these tools can do, because it certainly doesn't prevent them.

    The people who got caught might also have overdone it. There are still bugs in this game that allows you to cheat discretely and yet efficiently, like the bug that allows you to use, rather ridiculously, the same tokens over and over again until you get what you want. It's plain ridiculous.

    The iso alone for all characters, excepting X.Wolverine, Black Panther, and Invisible Woman, is just about 3,000,000. To purchase that much iso would require 58 Mother Lode orders at $ 99.99 each.

    Black panther would require an additional 2 orders. I don't know how much iso the 4-stars would require.

    Getting every cover is a challenge. To get every cover, even in a month, would be very expensive.one would obtain significantly more 2-star covers than 3 or 4 star. It would probably cost at least 100,000 hp to get every cover. Probably more. It cost me 12000 iso [edit: 12k HP, that's 3x 4000 HP guaranteed featured character 10-pack] to get all psylocke covers. That was just to get each cover color. It costs an additional 12500 to get the abilities maxed if only one of each cover is obtained from the 4k hp guaranteed psylocke 10 pack.

    This.

    If he was killing it to get this many iso people would remember his impressive roster from events prior, and the tops of leader boards. But it looks like he's seemingly popped up overnight, out of thin air, like the Count of Monte Cristo.
  • I saw a guy named d3ath...something. I don't remember...last night. Same team basically. Every. Character maxed and multiples of other characters. Notably he had a maxed 5/3/5 psylocke and a 1/5/1 psylocke. So either the guy has an addiction and enough money that he can afford to be stupid with it (or he cannot afford go be and is stupid with it anyway lol) or he was cheating. There are only 9 psylockes available not in packs atm. He had 20. So either he bought 7-11 psylockes worth of packs or he wad cheating.

    How are you getting multiple Psylocke covers for 12k ISO? That makes no sense to me.
  • to clarify sandbox I am a known cheater with maxed roster who yes is in sandbox don't bother me and sandbox players can't join alliances or create them we can attack but you don't lose points we just gain them basically to normal people we don't exist we can't be attacked we play as a one player game
  • my hack is android and very detectable it fakes game into thinking I'm making purchases don't know about steam or iOS

    Maybe 12500 HP? 3 free Psylocke covers from event placement, + 10x 1250HP per cover upgrade = 13 covers
