Cheaters: kthula666, Ardenwolfe and !!!!!!

Please Zen take this more seriously for the sake of the players who care about the game.

The fake scores are spoiling the game. I think it's disgusting that Zen Studios are not doing anything about it.

[cantankerous--]

Due to the continued lack of policing of your own leaderboards many members within my ps4 pinball community which comprises over 600 members have taken the drastic step of changing our ps4 privacy settings to just see ps4 scores thereby excluding the bogus scores which are all from computer users. Sadly, this will also remove the hundreds of legitimate computer players, many of which are legends in their own right and I love to compete against them, but what alternative have you given to us other than this?

For those on ps4 who wish to follow in my footsteps the settings can be found here:

Fix this. We want to play with everyone that wants to play fairly.

Superscore on Xbox

I know I'm not the first to point this out...

The top 26 superscores listed on the Xbox are higher than is possible. if a max of 1,000 points per table is all that is possible, the top 26 scores are all over 15 million.

I hope that a glance at the superscore leaderboard would make that an easy investigation.

Could these scores be removed?

Zen doesn't seem to care as this topic continues to grow. It's always front page and near the top. Perhaps new prospective players will come here, see that, and be turned away.

Keeping those scores isn't worth losing money over is it?? I guess so.....

Why no response?

You've had a very long time to "observe" and can't figure out how they are doing it.
Obviously you don't know, so just accept that.

Now do the right thing and remove the scores. Why are you so tepid about doing it?
Are you afraid the cheaters are going to complain?

Guess what?, there's more legitimate players complaining than there are cheaters.
So take the cheaters complaints and ignore them, instead of ours.

Can't they just make the leaderboards relevent to each platform, so xbox will only see xbox score, PC for PC, android for android and PS4 for PS4.....at least that way the console leaderboards will be at least cheat free as the console versions are not hacked for online play.

You can already do that if you want by turning network sharing off in the settings. It still doesn't fix the problem of them not removing cheaters though.

Oh, i did not know this, thanks for the info, at least its a nice stop gap to get rid of all the android and PC cheaters making the leaderboards look a mess across all the different formats.

[MuddyWolf_Beta]

My gawd, still not a single reply from Akos.
And the cheaters keep pilling up.

This is just sad.

[Tech101]

Can't let this fall of the front page now can we.

I for one would love an update on this

[Arpegia]

I wonder what could take this long that they still haven't figured out what's going on and taken action or at least give feedback about it?

Honestly, I just think they've given up. As long as we keep buying their new tables they'll carry on pumping out more buggy table packs & ignore the state of the completely ruined leaderboards. As a community, we're partly to blame for continuing to buy their new tables day one.

I think they are still looking into this. That is what they said, anyway, the last time they replied in this topic.

Maybe it is a very, very complex problem, so it takes some time?
