Title: When are macro abusers getting banned?
Post by: sjarken on March 27, 2014, 09:22:46 pm
Macros are cheating, you are not doing those feints and its an unfair advantage. Why dont admins deliver out bans?

Macros have been out since the age of cRPG, pretty scrub, but you can get punished for it as well when fighting. Dunno.

Force ppl to play fair and watch the "heroes" fail. So many of them are going to have a hard time playing with normal feints.

Native turnaments forbids macros, cuz unfair. Crpg should punish those that use it aswell

I think adapting to the timing of your opponent is better than whatever a pre-programmed input could ever do. Then again, I don't *think* I ever fought someone who abused this, so I can't say whether there are any weird feints that are impossible to see. Doubt it, though.

As long as some mechanic isn't telling the admins that that special someone is using macros noone will ban them. No matter how obvious it is, they still could actually wiggle their mouse around like crazy.
And if you are reading this and you are one of them: Burn in hell.

I can't really see even normal swings that well on EU3, so I'm not sure how that would help if I tried :D. Feints are easy enough to master by mixing up timings yourself imo. I have a really tiny mouse, so it's easy to move, though.

Not sure how the auto-block detection thingy works. But I guess it just detects 3rd party programs that are meddling with the warband.exe. While feint macros only effect your mouse input, making it "invisible" to the scan we have now.

Overall, I think all 3rd party programs enhancing your performance, autoblocker or feint macros, are cheating and using them should be bannable.

If you build a 30/3 char you will notice your feint's will have a reduced speed. Macros remove that penalty, unbalanced weapons would get fast aswell. macro cheating + high str is 100% win...

I don't see the point of feint macros anyway, I can already click my mouse faster than what it takes for my character to switch from one attack to another. When you feint too fast, the animations don't play properly and it's not very confusing for the enemy. Unless there's a trick to force the game to show the animations switching appear fast and spazzy, in which case there is a problem. And yes on occasion I've been feeling some people's characters can feint much faster than my character can do at maximum speed, which is weird.

Maybe some people use macros, maybe not...but if its really that common in native most people must be really bad there and pretty much failed to master this cheat.

Based on my thousands hours on  EU3 I cant recall more than handful possible macro users, there.

Why do you people all post random videos from native duel servers when we are talking about cRPG duels /EU3 here, and what do the guys in this video have to do with Qoray Algarn?

And for those feints you don't need a macro + if you got some skill and experience most of those feints are easy to block anyway, I don't see why people complain about things like this.

Maybe there is a handfull of people that uses macros in cRPG, but there are dozens of more important things in this game to look at, in my opinion.

Its the same way u cheat in native as in crpg warlord. Dont matter if it is from native, it displays how it looks like.

This is how it actually is.

I don't really have a problem with macrofeinters since I can't spot them, except for those few who have admitted they are using macros.
You are still quite able to block thier attacks.

But it seems like there is some truth to the fact that using macros on an STR build greatly improves your ability to do decent feints which in my opinion is rather gay since "slow feints" should be one of the disadvantages from picking STR over AGI (WM/wpf).

yeah, you don't need macros to feint that fast. Plenty of people can do it manually.

I don't understand how macros could be good anyway; wouldn't it make cancelling attacks/feints incredibly hard?

I can't feint that fast and consistently, perhaps if I would be enough of a scrub to practice it, but I can definitely see how macro's can give you an advantage with it. Even if you are able to do it flawlessly on your own, using a macro will still free up a huge load of concentration and improve your vision due to not having to move your camera extremely fast. Therefore clearly a cheat if you ask me. And don't give me this horseshit that these feints do not work, I have seen Qoray using a Longsword confusing the shit out of opponents in the duel tournament and the practice duels for it that weren't exactly bad players.

I don't understand how macros could be good anyway; wouldn't it make cancelling attacks/feints incredibly hard?
No because as soon as you actually press LMB or RMB it interrupts the macro'd sequence and uses your input, as is explained in the video.

You're able to repeat same complex pattern of movements five times in a row in less than 10 seconds, every time that pattern taking exactly same amount of time? Are you a machine?

Qoray obviously is, because he does it all the time, every time and for same amount of time. Flawlessly.

It takes no effort or concentration to quickly alternate between left click and right. I don't know what your sensitivity and DPI settings are like, but my camera barely moves at all when quickly feinting. I use a heavy mouse with a fairly low DPI and it still only requires small amounts of hand movement.

Of course not, dunno why one would feint that much. I was just saying that you can make complex swings manually, and (to me) it's much more rewarding to learn yourself how to get the timing and mindgames down. I think using tools to make it better solely for yourself is cheating and takes the fun out of the game (some things like increased FoV was a godsend, though, even though that's WSE2).

I just can't tell when people are using these tools, since as others have said, you can teach yourself how to do weird things, although probably not to the level you described.

You need to be really good at spamming (fast) or to be good at chamber blocking. Chamber blocking macro feinters is fairly easy because once you see the pattern you know how long it lasts and which attack will be in the end.

Problem with that is that chambering requires concentration and skill while macro feinting doesn't. Therefore you can make mistake but macro feinter won't because software controls his attacks.

Actually the best way is to keep them at bay, combining endless spamming and outreaching (footwork). Just don't come close because those macro feints execute in portion of a second and usually you're following what your enemy does and that makes you slower. Keep range and spam and macro feinter is dead.

Or you could learn how to block fast feints, it's really not that hard, no offense.

Interrupting feint spam only works against players that can't cancel attaks/feints reliably

Totally agree. Feinting in cRPG is useless. I spent some time in Native to see all the feinting they have to juggle there.

I tried to do the same feints in cRPG and it is completely impossible. The animations are much slower and feints do not look the same.

What if I told you that Qoray would tear through you if he uses his longswords solely because you can't deal with the feints.

It takes no effort or concentration to quickly alternate between left click and right. I don't know what your sensitivity and DPI settings are like, but my camera barely moves at all when quickly feinting. I use a heavy mouse with a fairly low DPI and it still only requires small amounts of hand movement.
Well, I think I use really high sensitivity. Let's see, if I move my mouse about 2.2 cm sideways I will have done a 360, so that is 16 degrees of turning per milimeter of mouse movement. My style of lolpiking requires a lot of movement and if I have to do it for 1,5 hours straight in a Strat battle I would get a sore elbow, so I have moved up my sensitivity, took all the weights and even the weight tray out of my mouse to reduce strain and prevent injuries, hehe.

But they don't need hands to use macro anyway - they can run it even with nose :P.

On a serious note, fortunatelly this isn't big problem on battle/siege servers. Just few people uses macro feinting there. It gives them clear advantage, you can check this by watching how they are playing. Most of those macro-feinted attacks reaches the target, so it is very effective (otherwise, they wouldn't use macro at all).
But look at people who uses this - they aren't really top players. Yeah, they do nice KDR (thanks to macro), but from their gameplay you just see they aren't good players (mainly blocking part reveals this). Best players don't need macro to do well. Those who uses macro, are not good enough to play well, so they prefer to annoy others with macro than being annoyed by their incompetence (which is understandable).
The problem is in Warband itself - devs just didn't predict this can be a problem in future - you can cancel current animation and start another one straight away anytime, how many times you like to, which gives possiblity to use macro. I hope in Bannerlord, devs will implement uncancelable feint animations or delays between feint possibility (which will last like ~0.2s). This way you won't be able to get clear advantage using macro.

When I played as an archer, I had funny situation with one of known EU macro feinters. In battle mode I took an arrow from the ground and didn't notice I dropped my sword. Later, known macro feinter attacked me, and I couldn't take out sword, because I didn't have one with me, so I stayed surprised and defenceless with bow in my hands. The guy made 5 feints and hit me once, then another 5 feints and killed me with his second attack. I was laughing so hard. It still brings a smile on my face when I think about this situation :lol:.

As native player I can say that only bad players use macro because good player can be skilled enough to make these feints without it. Its not hard to defend against macro, Qoray is very easy for me to hit quickly lots of times while he does feints. Most deaths occur because enemy out-times or out-ranges me, not because of these feint.

Those who say macros are bad on their own, I agree with them.


The problem is people that are very good at the game, without macros, who use macros on top of their very good skill, putting them on top of their equally skilled opponents who doesnt use macros. Those are the people to target in priority, because they push past the boundaries of "normal skill ceiling" by the combination of human skill and software skill. I treat macros like autoblock in this sense, because if you're really a legit good player and use those things to boost your skill, you become imba. The only difference to me, is that autoblock is easier to detect, but this is another topic.



Good skill + macro =

- you have combat awareness (to know when to use/cancel macros),
- you know what are the most efficient/most confusing combo to bind to your macro (right or left feint / stab or stab feint / left or right, looking at the ground, to name the most infamous)



I understand we cant punish those people solely by software detection, because we just cant. But it is so dirtily obvious when someone uses macro, as long as you've played the game long enough and are aware of the speed input limit of only using your mouse buttons, that it should be possible for admin to give local punishment to infamous macro users, if they want to have a feasable anti-macro policy. It would be open to interpretations, but I think we can agree on some solid names of macro users  :rolleyes: it is the "pot aux roses" of cRPG.

Its very easy to counter those macro feinters, just after he blocks ur attack , he will start feinting,u just have to spam ur left mosue buttom right after he blocked the first one(he wont except you to spam ) and u will get free hit in 99% of time.

It's usually STR tanks saying that because holds tend to work better for them and moreover when you two shot anything you don't need all that fancy feinting.

Feints work, so does holding your attacks longer and at unexpected intervals. But it depends on the opponent.  Neither of them are going to work against a pure spammer (or someone who block/hits and you are always within block/hit range). 

Using macros to feint is certainly cheating in my book, but I don't see how it gives you much of an advantage on c-rpg.  If you're trying to feint too quickly, you will not give a very convincing feint (i.e. you won't chamber the weapon back, you will just go from one starting animation to another).  Any random scrub off the street can feint as fast as is useful in crpg.

I never saw him with any other class than 2h or polearmer. I doubt he would be dreadful as shielder compared to when he's 2h.

He's very experienced player, just give him a weapon and see him slaughter people. I like his playstyle as he keeps the fight intense and adjusts very quickly to the conditions. He pr0, I srs. Must be asian deep inside.

People who says feinting is very overrated, I really can't agree with you. Even after all these years, I still feint a lot, because coupled with held wiggles it's one of the best moves for getting past a good opponent's defense (do them in the same moves)

This man speaks truth.

Lollling around with spammed feints is just inviting someone to hilt you in the face. I find proper use of held attacks to be alot more devastating.

Of course feinting is essential part of the game and is a skill every good player has. Super fast feint spam looks kind of impressive but the truth is, it's not very effective on it's own. You got to do other things as well to make it really work. That's why I often say feinting is overrated. I feint a lot myself but I want to think I use it "tastefully" among other things :D.

Then about the macro users... Just bury an axe between their eyes with a straight swing. Be more offensive (fast, clean, simple attacks) than defensive and you'll beat the macro kids every time since they usually can't block for shit :D.

Hey man I don't know Qoray, but I've played a lot of online games, some competitively, and I always thought it was lame as hell to ban someone based on a sketchy opinion.  You know what they say when you assume.  Makes an ass outta u and me

There's plenty of things they can do to crack down on cheaters and not have to worry about speculation or assumptions, but they have chosen not too.  Not to mention macro feints aren't even that big of an advantage in c-rpg (but it's still lame and should be bannable if you are caught...)

Qoray is unbanned.

Both because it would be insane to just ban someone hard with a sudden new rule, and because he really was a good sport about it all. (It was never my intention to keep him banned..)

For now though, I would strongly suggest people that are using macros to stop using them. It's detectable, it's recordable, it's spottable, if you know how it looks. It's also of course bannable. And I will ban macro users for real next time.

Please realize that we are a small community, not some huge game that drowns in cheaters. Using macros is undermining all we have.

If you had a macro it wouldnt be shown on this cam angle and hard to tell with your player cam if you're as fast as when you use them.
Would require someone else to capture you in-game, and you recording yourself not moving the mouse (except tiny bit for the attack directions) and just using mouse input with cam showing where your fingers hit (only the mouse 1 and mouse 2 buttons)... If you really want to defend your name.

I've been playing this game for 3 years, I believe I know what speed is impossible to achieve in feinting. And if I'm wrong I'll publically post my apologies.

That's neither common sense, nor a law.(which is apt for this case as an example.)

If it is detectable, then no admin should ban, and only Zagibu(who is the manager/runner of crpg right?) should. Otherwise it should be CMP/chadz like it always has.

Beyond that, stick to the rules you have already. Remember, Innocent until proven Guilty. Never the other way around.

Banning cheaters should be our number one priority when it comes to what admins should be doing

But, I feel everyone should be treated as innocent until proven guilty. Admins have to provide evidence before using their powers, otherwise we will open a can of worms. No player should have to prove they are innocent before other evidence is provided, and a video like that isn't really proof anyway (he could be hitting his macro keys on his mouse with the thumb, or just because he can feint like that manually, he might have macros too but it seems anyone could be now)

Without evidence you can ruin a legit player's reputation. I wouldn't want to play if I thought everyone thought I cheated. Now in the back of my mind I might think people are cheating when they are just good at the game. If Qoray isn't cheating I think he should at least get an apology

If macroing is just "hacker paranoia" i'd rather we just play and assume people are legit until proven guilty. If qoray stayed banned maybe we would have people turning off macros, but now I think we didn't really achieve much except make people suspicious of others

Thomek is a good admin though, we need guys that will use their powers even if it means false positives sometimes. Just need evidence first in future

Yes, there is a way. Play the game for longer than a year or two, get to know the boundaries of normal gameplay (basically the common sense of experienced players), then analyze why you cant feint more than 3-4 times in one second without fucking up, while some guys can feint more than 5 times in half a sec and does the same combo over and over and over like robots.

I dont believe in guys having +100/200% hand agility/speed than the top brass.

Yes, there is a way. Play the game for longer than a year or two, get to know the boundaries of normal gameplay (basically the common sense of experienced players), then analyze why you cant feint more than 3-4 times in one second without fucking up, while some guys can feint more than 5 times in half a sec and does the same combo over and over and over like robots.

I dont believe in guys having +100/200% hand agility/speed than the top brass.

Nice of you to get all elitist and assume that I'm an inexperienced player because I think differently to you (been playing warband since mid 2011).

So again, your argument is "I can only feint 3-4 times in a second, someone else can do more than me; they are cheating". Maybe you're using a shitty mouse that isn't registering your clicks correctly, or maybe you're simply not capable of clicking as fast as some other nerds are. Also, Why wouldn't you use the same combos over and over again if that's what was most effective?

Wow, if I read this thread too much I'm going to believe macro doesnt exist and anyone who think the contrary is a conspiracy theorist!
Autoblock ban waves should tell us something about cheaters: they will always try to get the advantage on others, and use their advantage the longest possible without getting banned; those that arent still banned are either counting their time, or smarter than the rest.

Also, Why wouldn't you use the same combos over and over again if that's what was most effective?

No, the argument is: you cant do more than X attack/parry/attack/parry in a specified timeframe, whatever is your mouse quality or fine motor skill. Whenever you exceed that number, you are using something else than a mouse and a hand. I put numbers in my example to illustrate that, not to show the exact truth...

I personaly still didnt accuse publicly anyone of macroing... the border between excellent skill and macro use is not that big, so there is a niche where they can hide, and if they are smart they will not overuse them nor will they record themselves using it, and it doesnt forbid them from having a legit skill with which they can beat other people.


Call me paranoid but there is some clues to be find:

- exact same combo pattern all the time, especially when its 3-10 different attacks done in a extremely short timeframe
- 100% of combo are done perfectly and with 0 execution difference
- camera pitch of the fighter barely moves at all despite the extreme change of weapon attack directions in the combo
- the fighter has problems canceling his combo if you harass him midway


Those clues are easy to pinpoint, as long as you have a big enough recording without the guy noticing, because its very easy to manually fail on purpose, adding to the exceptionally nerdy investigation job. Who will do it frankly anyway? If there is no software detection possible, it will be pretty hard to get someone red handed, because ultimately they can always rely on the doubt.



TL;DR: macro exist, we gotta find it and kill it.

In french, macro is pronounced almost like maquereau which means 'The Pimp'.

So, i like to use and abuse of the Pimp, every morning !

ok i admit it, i am using a macro to hold my shield up.  :oops:

How come it's "detectable, recordable, spotable" if you just accused someone and failed with that? I mean, does every player have to have a video of himself playing to not get banned when you "will ban macro users for real next time"?
If someone who is accused to use macros, is makeing a vid of himself, you really think they would then use macros while doing those vids? Not saying this was the case here or Quoray is one of the cheating macro users, point is you cant trust vids made by the accused. You need to catch them in situations where they believe they would not be monitored and make a vid yourself of them.

Also as Buttan hinted towards, there are physical limitations, which allows you to spot macro users and only aslong they break those physical limitations, they do have a clear advantage, otherwise the advantage is just making same patterns flawlessly which still can be an advantage. In terms of strength builds when a restriction like the speed limitations would be broken by macros, the imbalance created is even higher but also easier to be spotted. I think you can get a server side programm going which counts meta data on the users which would hint towards macro users. The list of names then still would need to be monitored and vids be made when they appear on the servers. This is not a small thing which would need to be done, to make it fairly certain the bad apples would be filtered out. The punishment then when all that is done, should be drasticly as they made us use up that energy of programmers which should have been used to make the game better.

Your bad and an idiot yet still you post in forums: dude go avvay.

BACK ON TOPIC: VVHY should they be banned:

IMHO all macros use should be permaban, but even autoblockers vvho vvere permabanned came back eventually. Is Macrofeints really vvorse than the mods you can use to give you flourescent arrovvs, massive markers on enemy players, neon vveapons vvith arrovvs shovving attack direction, removal of fog, removal of all nonsolid textures (trees bushes haystacks)?

Because all of those excist and are used extensively.

The only solution vvould be to have a reliable system of checking players game files: ANY custom content = permaban.

Back to macro users: There are 3 players I could name that use them day in, day out, in battle and on duel. You can easily spot them, and its as Butan states: Repeated actions, at incredible speed, vvithout ever an error or adjustment of the players stance or head angle. They do give a very large advantage vvhen used a player vvho is good anyvvay, but it really is not trackable unless someone either sits and reads OR makes a program to sift through hours of data records and videos and the advantage is not really more, infact I think less, than you can get from simply modding your game anyvvay. Im pretty sure there is mod that can remove night-time asvvell (Not seen this one myself tbh but have been told)

All those infractions should be put in the same "legal" basket IMO: ban.

Hehe I got the point, but you don't have to be a tank to test people. You just have to play it safe for the first few rallies and then you'll see what kind of person they are.
Of course, you can be wrong about his next move and get hit, in which case, yeah, it helps a shit lot to have HP. Basically why I went full STR in the first place indeed. STR also means that when you're right, you punish the guy hard and since he dies quickly he doesn't see what tactic you're using.
It still works pretty well with 24 str, and with training, you 'read' your oponent better and you hit more often. Using your head is underrated :D

Again i am not saying it would not be true what you are saying. Still imagine, someone taking a vid, aslong till he gets it right, the way he wants it to be. Also when someone is making those makros i guess he needs an understanding how these things work, therefor he would have trained that shit anyways already. I would compare it with doping of toure de france participants, they are good without it and even better with it.

Point stands, if the accused is doing those vids, it could be fishy. I believe only a third party can do tests independently.

I really don't want to sound elitist here but seriously how the hell are macros a problem in cRPG at least with 2h? (I assume we are talking about duelling) I just don't see how you can feint  that effectively no matter what you do mostly just because of the completely different stab animation, if anything it just might make some other elements of your play more clunky while you are betting heavily on something that simply can't be that effective. Obviously feinting still has it's place but it's not comparable to native and what you can do with macros there.

Ofc this doesn't justify using them and I don't think it should be allowed but I don't see how you would get a advantage, at least vs more experienced players.

He isnt arguing, he is just pointing out that he doesnt believe it vvould confer a mssive advantage. I think it can give a big edge, if you use a STR based build and reverse attack directions, combined vvith a macro, theres no vvay the more traditional players (players vvho block each part of feints, or chamber the first attack and are still hit first by feint macro) can match the speed.

The majority ( I hope, I mean cmon its 2014) of players hold their attack key during fights and dont release it vvhile blocking, and sure not everyone has a 100$ mouse, but the game simply doesnt take so many mouse imputs a second unless they are being precisely delivered by a 3rd party program.

I dont think its a problem on 2H especially Cyber, polearms/1H also have some hard-to-read combo which could be even more hard-to-block if it was macro'ed.

Its fairly hard to know where the hit is going to land after a extremely fast combo with correct manipulation of your camera angle relative to the enemy point of view. Its true for both legit and macro combo, but macro are (by comparison) faster and easier to use.

Fucking stop this obsession man! It's fucking 12 pages of QQ against macroer's of which I found 1 in cRPG and I haven't seen him play for a good few months if not more. I admit that I once thought that Qoray uses macros but if he says that he didn't and tries to prove it however he fucking can, then I believe he doesn't and it's fucking unfair to harass him for something that you can't prove. Your saying that he uses macros is as good as his saying that he doesn't and because he tried to prove it with a vid, he actually brought more reasons for me to consider him not using them than you.

Hahaha! A scheduled patch. Good one!  :P

The only schedules we make, are ones that are done 5 minutes ahead of time.
 
#YOLO, #SWAG, etc, etc...

Which really hurts me as a map maker.  Luckily, no maps were updated which means I still have time to upload my latest updates.  :lol:

Also, macros.  8-)

cmp: can't bother...
chadz: okay, i'll do it... patch incoming april 1st.

WTF! That donkey face player did a 360 spin in midair dodging 5 arrows, blocking attacks from 4 different directions almost simultaneously and one hit me with a long spear before he landed on the ground! On top of that he took no damage from a 2 story jump! He can't feint worth a damn, but I swear, he's using macros!

What can I say? Everyone has been dragging this out, I might as well too.  :mrgreen:

Bets are opened; giev us neim.
I don't only have the name but also a screenshot where I asked how that guy is doing so quick feints and he replied that it's because he's using macros. cRPG taught me to screenshot these but I won't reveal his name as getting people banned is lame, alse he's not even playing, or at least I haven't seen him play for a long time and dunno if he would use them now.

I think adapting to the timing of your opponent is better than whatever a pre-programmed input could ever do. Then again, I don't *think* I ever fought someone who abused this, so I can't say whether there are any weird feints that are impossible to see. Doubt it, though.

I've never seen anything I can't block.  Maybe I don't block it.  But that's on me.  It's usually a mis-step that leads to my downfall.
