I can also report, I know I was supposedly retired, but I couldn't help seeing you all die over and over, but this guy was no fun to watch!

Re: House just got hacked

I think he is using a macro or bot or something that retraces the path taken to the safe or something. That's the only reason it'd do it direct to safe or glitch out and do 11700 steps.

Re: House just got hacked

@AMwhy not sure I let Stein die after being cheated upon about a week ago.  Took a break, then came back and did santa claus runs for everyone, and was trying out some magic dance stuff, but now I've got another combo house and it immediately starts doing well (I'm dying too much in the magic dance self tests).

The strange thing is i have never seen that house on the list. I have been doing a lot of reading for work and whilst doing that i have TDC open in one window and an excel in another, ever name that appears, and change in value, any change in kills/attempts i update the sheet. I would say over this weekend to day i have covered about 40% of the time between my laptop and phone. And i have never seen any of these names :S

Re: House just got hacked

I've been santa running and learning the big houses.  However, with this anonymous player taking down all the big houses with flawless routes, it's hard to do anything right now!  Russo is in my sights now - the house doesn't seem too difficult.

Yea the houses seem to either be huge value, then get hit by the hacker.

Or just not worth robbing (less then 1k)

Re: House just got hacked

that certainly is a popular design, people get caught by the released pit bull that is inevitably behind the powered door all the time, I believe the only way to pass a pitbull is to shoot him (or otherwise get him out of that hallway so you can get past

Yea, i killed myself again by mistake so had a further look. Both have same start but different ways to set them off.

Very much an all or nothing kind of house with a start like that. When i was actually worth money i wouldn't even go past that door big_smile

Re: House just got hacked

Wait, record the values of all robberies the hacker does. I think the bot may only be targeting those over 10k or something...

Re: House just got hacked

I dunno at this point there are 12 houses, if this asshole is using automation to determine which house he hits I'll be a monkeys uncle.  he/she is a douche bag plain and simple

I would agree that it isnt auto selection. Also they are def doing something to keep there house permanently off the list. As none of the names seen have come up.

Re: House just got hacked

There were a couple of players a while back using macros to keep their name off the list.  Of course, you'd need your computer on 24/7 for that to work all the time, right?  Quite frankly, I can't see why anyone would go to these lengths to cheat in a game with so few players now.  It's odd!

Re: House just got hacked

Don't think it's a bot. And Limbo is another tactic to hide value without a house on the list.

After you successfully found the vault or leaving the house, there is a screen showing what you snatched. If you do not press the button "return to your house", but close the game, no funds will be transferred to your house. Meaning, as long as you don't log in again this wealth is safe. So, even if someone robs you in the meantime, he will not get this money.
