While playing on different servers a lot of players complained about Chinese Zergs and Script Kiddies.
Those go often under some radar for some reason. I didn't see any other group of players really using them in such excessive amounts. It is especially dire on staging.
So many people are complaining about that and it ruins their game experience. If a server is named EU Staging shouldn't there only be people from EU IPs allowed to connect there?
Either the server naming is kinda wrong ( if you ignore the fact that just the physical server is in the location it is named after ) or we need a geo lock.
If any names of the hackers are needed I gladly provide combatlogs and/or names.
Need in game admins!
I agree geo locking would be a greatly appreciate by the majority of this games player base.
Me and my team play on EU staging and over the past 2 wipes I have had to messaged Alistair to ban two separate Chinese groups.
My main problem is not that they are Chinese or there nationality because that does not matter. the reasons I think servers should be geolocked are;
The high ping of the players often makes them jump when they are running or peaking, this seems to allow them to kill you when you are completely behind cover.
This may be generalization but the groups always seems to have at least 1 hacker with them, I have yet too see a legitimate Chinese group.
Allowing people from completely different time zones gives a great disparity to time zones, this for a non-competitive game would not be a problem but ultimately it allows for offline raids at 6am which in my eyes removes a whole lot of skill requirement for the Chinese groups.
the last point isn't really valid but the Chinese groups always play with 10+ and have at least 20 on when they are raiding and they don't stop until they have fully killed a server. Last wipe for example on EU staging we had full pop until 2 weeks in this wipe because of the Chinese group we are already lower than max pop less than a week in.
A great example of Asian players ruining a game is PUBG, where they had to create a different servers because of the lag and hackers introduced to EU servers.
I have for a long time thought that the servers need another think through and I think Geolocking official (and giving option to private servers) is a good step towards creating a more enjoyable experience.
Any comments from devs would be greatly appreciated on this matter! thanks for listening
Duck,
I agree with Ducke on this one. There should be an easier way to F7 and report because until action is taken it's basically all over for you.
Press F7 to report hackers, any other method is a waste of your time and the devs' time because screenshots don't provide the necessary proof. How is the anticheat supposed to work if you create threads whining about hackers instead of reporting them?
P.S. I am not a Rust dev, don't get confused by my name colour.
I use F7 all the time the problem is not even 20% of the blatantly obvious scripts and flyhacks get actually banned. Do you call that a system that works? I don't.
Instead of being counterproductive and just avoiding the topic over all how about posting something useful and productive in here? Like ideas for a better system or something? Whining about complains is not very mature or productive mate.
Build the Wall !!
Keep foreigners out.
I play US (United States) East 1 a lot.
I get chain-headshotted, ganked, robbed, mugged, pillaged non-stop by the Chinese, Russians, and other garbage countries.
They raid and go straight for my TC's and loot chests, knowing exactly where to rocket.

That's a bit of an immature answer to this post mate. I am looking for serious answers here. I mean geo lock is more of a last resort then a good solution. But it's an option.
Thank you for your opinion.
Sometimes the truth can be ugly, let us have the courage to acknowledge it.
I'm 100% percent all for region/geo locks. Cheating is out of control and it is ridiculous.
But they would never do it, because they would consider it "unfair". So the cheating will continue unchecked.
Greetings from Russia. Cheaters feed administration. give the administration the opportunity to suck cock for money and the little Asian Dicks will Shine. The administration doesn't care about the players, they only care about the money. This is a General trend of steam.
That is weirdly phrased but true. I mean there have to be better solutions though. It is kinda hard to say but so far every cheater I have encountered was Chinese. I don't know why but that's the sad truth.
