Radars in Frontlines and Hunts - Any word from SE?

[Kallera]

That's nice and all, but it doesn't really matter. This is an issue literally all games are vulnerable to, and there is no way to really stop it short of adding some cheat detection to the client, which is just going to start a neverending arms race between SE and people who create the cheats. It's expensive, time consuming, and not really worth the effort if the game is designed properly. While the radar app definitely gives you an advantage, it's certainly not one I would call a "huge strategic advantage", since the range is very limited and anything the radar shows is also visible in the game world...

The ability to predict a flanking maneuver, to determine reconnaissance attempts and ambushes from character model distance(considerably more that what we have now.), to have 360 degree vision through barriers and rocks?

I stand by my assessment. An app that can do this is a bigger deal than you think in PvP.

I think they should just let them be shown on everyone's map if there's no way they can find out who the people who are using this app are. This is pretty much what they did in 1.0 so might as well do it here too.

I think it would be hilarious to place elites underground that move around and teleport around the region to completely throw people off that use radar, lol. They could do the same for frontlines as well...have random player names moving around the field underground.

People use radars in frontlines now? Why? (´・ω・`)

So you can see when drones pop and where the other team is.

Hey everyone. Actually in previous thread I had come up with the barebones idea of a solution to the problem. A few others commented and helped iron it out. I would encourage you all to read this thread and post your support if you like the idea. The more support it gets the better chance SE will take a look at it.

How can we know that you're not one of those users fishing for what SE plans to do so you can come up with new ideas to evade SE's detection?
We can't of course, and can only take you for your word that you're not.
But the above question is one reason why you shouldn't expect anything other than occasional announcements that X numbers have been (temp)banned.

Was this directed at me? If so, this is kinda amusing. I made that thread because over and over people are saying nothing can be done nothing can be done, doom and gloom. So I figured I would spur the community to be a bit more productive and actually help look for a solution. If you actually read the thread you would understand that what you said makes no sense. What I proposed was a solid solution to the current exploit. Sure other abusers will come around and try to find other ways to abuse the system, but i would have nothing to gain from putting that solution out there seriously. And I'm not looking for a response from SE to say they did or didnt implement this, I do want them to see it though because with their programmers I am certain they could take it even further and remove the advantage of these abusers. If that comment wasnt directed at me, my apologies.
