medieval madness leaderboard hacked

[Yakass]

You can report that score all you like, but I didn't cheat in anyway to get it, nor am I responsible for somehow deleting anyone elses score. I have also had at least half a dozen top scores trashed since the last update. Indy, Getaway, TOM, MOR, all my top positions on the leaderboards were wiped on those games (and have since clawed them all back). Ironically, the scores I got that are getting the most attention (MM and AFM) did not get deleted. I think it's a random bug (that occurred during and since the last update), and given the game is in early access, who cares? I couldn't care less if any of my leaderboard poll-positions are wiped during EA. When the game is officially released, however, then it would bother for sure.

Offcourse someone is cheating the leaderboard, my 700k highscore got deleted after i reported the 1st position. Seems that someone can delete results and input any score. i reported to devs that my hs got deleted and nothing happened. Almost everygame that has issues with cheaters it´s because the way dev´s wont do anything, or in some cases even sell software to allow people to cheat, in order to block accounts and sell even more copies. All top 10 HS should have a replay option.

1. One thing is an 'hack', where someone uses mods or other methods not supported by the game natively to modify the game and uses them to improve their score. This would be cheating.
2. Second are exploits, where bugs present in the game are used to get a gameplay advantage. This goes against the 'spirit' of the game and competition, but it's not really cheating, as it's just a flaw with the game that needs to be fixed by developers.
3. The game is not well balanced, which makes it easy for some people to find ways to maximize their scores. This seems to be what user Yakass here did. Definitely not cheating.

People like you make other players like me not purchase any table.

Wow, what a response. Listen, when someone basically accuses you of cheating, which is what is going on here, I'm going to stand up for myself. I mentioned the fact that I know the game really well simply to point out that if anyone was going to get a score like that it was going to be someone that knows the table as well as I do, which aside from being the truth of the matter, is far more diplomatic than saying 'get gud', which I believe is the standard retort to being accused of cheating.

I didn't feel a need to report anything about this game directly to Zen because I knew they would be made aware of that score somehow (like this post for example) and that they are smart enough to know its not quite right and act on it accordingly. I did post about it on the FB group, which I'm pretty sure they're watching.

(point being I know how to play the game better than most) .

Instead of report it you come here with that overbearing assumption when you did that score knowing that 10h of marathon isn't the normal way of playing a table if you don't take advantage as you said with the endless easy extraballs but there are more tricky glitches with ramps that a had to be fixed.


Unfortunately zen won't change leaderboards. All need to be reseted. People like you make other players like me not purchase any table.

I am the guy who got that score, and no, it was not hacked. It was a marathon game that lasted 10 hours, which I managed by racking up endless extra balls. Last time I looked I also top the leaderboard on fx3 as well as Pinball Arcade (point being I know how to play the game better than most). It just so happens that this version of MM is by far the easiest version ever, by a frighteningly large margin. I expect Zen will get around to address this, and I also expect that all leaderboard scores will be wiped when it leaves early access.

now my 700.000.000 hs was deleted lol, time to stop playing.

The leader at medievel madness has a ridiculous highscore of more than 16.000.000.000 points, people already cheating? or the HS is legit? game should had a replay function at least on all top 10 HS, and a report button.
