Board Thread:General Pixel Gun 3D Discussion/@comment-35631823-20190410002705

'''So I read Pixel Gun 3D’s recent Facebook post and I noticed a lot of flaws in their explanation. This is sort of a rant but with a lot of criticism towards the company as well. I will be separating this into different categories and I apologize if I go off topic at times.'''

Hacking and Account Sharing

'''Their post said that they rebuilt Pixel Gun from the ground up and have reworked on the anti-cheat system and will start banning players. Sounds good, right? Well yes but they also said that they are gonna start banning people who have merged accounts which I think is ridiculous. I think doing this is is a big mistake since they’re essentially banning people who used a function that has been in the game probably since it first released back in May of 2013. This method has been around for almost 6 years now and because Pixel Gun has been pay to win for the longest time and because of that there are a lot of people who used this method to obtain weapons that were trapped behind a paywall, such as the Exoskeletons and other weapons that cost parts, or weapons trapped behind a file wall, such as the Mega Destroyer, Christmas Sword and other “removed” weapons, these file weapons were essentially unobtainable and they had no good reason to remove them. They didn’t remove other “underpowered” weapons and they certainly didn’t remove them for legal issues, if these were both the case then many other weapons would’ve been removed. By banning these people who used a function left in the game for so long they’re going to wipe out a big portion of their player base. This was a hack it was an exploit left in the game for a long time much like the annoying 3 category spam/the No-Skill-Insta-Kill trick. They said the reason why the game was so pay to win was because of hackers, I find this claim to be hogwash since there were many precursors in the game being pay to win before people hacked it such as the introduction of gems and making a lot of weapons cost gems, making the coins and gems difficult to get especially gems. They raised weapon prices because of hackers but that doesn’t make sense because these hacks have shown to generate thousands of coins and gems and they only raised the prices by a couple hundred. Also, by raising prices of weapons they’re only motivating more people to hack because they either don’t want to or don’t have the money to spend on weapons. Getting one gem weapon without hacking or paying would take months especially if you’re a high or maxed leveled player. Overall I think the people who merged their accounts are justified and shouldn’t be banned because they weren’t technically hacking and were using a function left in the game for years and they didn’t cheat in currency either. The legit hackers/modders I’m glad are getting banned but not the account mergers which is a good chunk of players.'''

Pixel Gun World

'''Remember Pixel Gun World? That game was great. When it shut down I was rather irritated but I thought maybe they could just add the maps, gear and weapons into the game. They said they couldn’t because of it being made by different developers. Here’s the catch, they still have the rights to add the stuff from that game into Pixel Gun 3D because Pixel Gun World was under the Pixel Gun name and the lads over at Cubic.Games had a hand in making it since they gave them the licence to use the Pixel Gun name and to use aesthetics, mechanics and items from Pixel Gun 3D. Now that the game is shut down and the Developers are gone that agreement is now moot and they have the rights to add that stuff into Pixel Gun 3D, well they had the rights to add that stuff to begin with but you get my point. I don’t think they really have a good reason other than they’re lazy but I might need to do some more research on the situation.'''

Empty Promises 

'''They have made many promises that they never acted on or kept such as returning old weapons like the Plasma Rifle, Cactus Sword, Lucky Strike, Christmas Sword, Dark Mage Wand, Etc. Remodeling and adjusting all those reskin weapons like the Blighter, Devastator, Vampire Hunter, Future Police Rifle, Thunderer, Etc. Custom weapon skins but I’m kinda glad they didn’t or haven’t acted on this one since it may just be like the Call of Duty banners where kids would draw naked women. The Boss Battles gamemode that was hinted and teased long ago but was never implemented. This is just a handful of the stuff they said and I don’t trust what they say since on the internet you can just say stuff and pass it off as real even if it isn’t. They have had a history of scamming people, saying they’re going to change even though they didn’t and just straight up lying. Though they have made progress this time I don’t think this change is gonna last any longer but I hope I’m wrong. I still don’t trust them after all their antics they pulled for the last few years and banning account mergers certainly didn’t make me like them anymore cause these mergers haven’t done anything to ruin the game unlike legit hackers. I think they should remove the merging function but not ban players who have already done it. '''

Minor Complaints

'''I would like to play the game since it seems like they fixed the lag for weaker/older devices but I haven’t fully tested this since I get kicked from the game when I try to get into a game or if I’m in the lobby for too long. I also can’t open Lucky Chests, I press open and then a loading screen pops up and doesn’t process the spin. I don’t know if anyone else has these issues but it irritates me that I can’t play at all. Also, I really wish they had a skip function for the Jumpbox level for World 4 since even with this improvement it’s still a very difficult level.'''

'''Anyway that’s all I have to say. If anyone can help with these issues I’d much appreciate it. Also if you have anything you want to add or call me out for anything I'm incorrect on that'd also be appreciated.'''
