AOE-II DE Cheater in Ranked TG

[NuclearPasta]

Encountered a hacker in ranked TG, currently under the name Nodscouter. Obviously this isn't the real Nodscouter, and is presumably one of the same cheaters that was using the usernames of other well known players.

Hacks include:
-Typing under another player's username to use slurs
-Controlling opponents units & vils
-some form of map hack
-Infinite Res hack
-Deleting enemy units
-256x Tech mod
-Crashing the game for players and spectators to prevent being reported

Screenshots of his production queue below show 18 Loom's being researched, and Monks with 600 HP and +183 range.
Recs of the game attached are my own which ends before the game crash occurs, and Wonton Noodle's which ends at game crash.

I don't get the point of using hacks but I hope the devs are able to act quickly here.

It is quite funny that they are struggling even with use of the hacks! 11

Did you report the player?

Seems like cheaters are on the rise again :/ It also sucks for Nod still being impersonated, I absolutely don't understand what benefit the person who impersonates Nod has.

Best thing we can do is report to the devs, via support ticket or in game report function after game.

Think it’s a good idea not to post to forums as we’re giving this person more attention, and if it’s the same person doing the Nodscouter account then they have previous for that.

I submitted a report with the support ticket as did my teammates, but I'm honestly not hopeful that leads to anything. The guy who bug abused and hacked to the top players a while ago had a significantly worse affect on the game than some low level TG, and he got away with it for a lot longer than anyone should have.

Normally I'd agree there's not much good in posting, it was due to the sheer amount of hacks involved that I did so. I've not seen anyone use every hack in a single game before.

As I told my teammates, the hacking and force ending the game I can handle. It is this aspect of it that really I find unacceptable.

There is no benefit to this individual. Based on evidence that has been publicly available, they are racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and probably a bunch of other things.

The Age 2 community by contrast is international, diverse, welcoming, and accepts all people. So such a player really doesn't belong in our community.

They are obviously an individual with fundamental issues in life and likely need professional help. There is clearly a void present. Be it their moral compass, their ability to empathize, whatever. This individual has been doing this for months and months and keeps doing it and we just have to sit back and watch him.

It's unacceptable, frankly.

There is no room for hatred in our community. None.
