PSA: Online Hacking has been confirmed, unfortunately

[NWPlayer123]

Sure? I wouldn't want to risk it.

Even then, I'll hopefully have done my job right and gotten them to do something about it :p I'm even willing to work directly with them.

Hey NWPlayer123, are you the same one from Kuribo64? Because I'm TheSpeedyMouse from Kuribo64.

As long as you don't release this/it gets patched, then I don't care. You said this was a one time thing but if you did do it again you would do it in Private Battles, right?

 

[ZainreFang]

Well by then they'll probably have been patched in the latest version anyways

That's a funny mindset.

"I'm gonna hire an elite group of terrorists to assassinate the President."

"Why? That would be awful"

"Well, they'll probably beef up their security in anticipation of us anyways.."

I guess passion is passion. Human nature is basically "do everything that's possible".

@NWPlayer123, I noticed your videos have been taken down from YouTube. Have Nintendo spoken to you about this, and do you feel this has successfully brought the vulnerability of their online servers to their attention? I was angry that they took your videos down and supported what you were doing, but hopefully you'll get the results you initially intended now.

Really? That's harsh...

 

[NWPlayer123]

Nah, more then likely just someone upset over this submitted a bunch of false claims. For now, just go watch the VODs at http://twitch.tv/NWPlayer123/profile, the insta cover was at the end of part 2

 

[Sethy]

I'm all for mods, but hacking is just boring on multiplayer games.

Single player could be different.

Good on you for wanting it to be fixed.

 

[Inyo]

Probably the best thing to do would be to show Nintendo, and then lock all the methods away in the Disney vault before griefers get any bright ideas and ruin it for everyone.

Other people DO want to play this game fairly, you know, regardless of what "dedicated people" cook up via hacking

 

[NWPlayer123]

Well thankfully the devs already know about my channel and they've been working on a fix. Dunno if it's in 2.0.0 or if it'll be a hotfix, I'll have to see.

Hotfix, I hope, though if it comes with Wednesday's update, then that's soon enough.

This stuff is like opening the Ark of the Covenant: there could be untold treasures inside, but there is also a good chance of head-exploding

How do you know that the devs know?

Because of my friend who asked their friend who works at the Treehouse

Ahh that makes sense. People at NoA seem pretty nice and tend to be fans of the company so it makes sense they would eventually see a lot of stuff or be told about it.

I heard it from a friend of a friend of mine

 

[Dreamy Luigi]

As long as it doesn't turn in Mario Kart Wii with hacks and hack accusations every 5 minutes we'll be fine, it's 2015 and Nintendo has the power to take out the trash when need be.

 

[MaikoRules]

so hows it looking? did they patch it?

Haven't tried yet, might soon in a private lobby. Been busy mining the update :P
I'm betting that footnote with quality of life implies it, though.

Didn't they say something similar after update 1? Is that just a way for them to say 'technical improvements?'

Heard it from another you’ve been messing around

The Splatoon mod I would use most would be ink color. Even though I love the new Squid Girl color, Milk Tea color is pretty tempting.

 

[skyphoi]

Hacking in Splatoon could become a serious problem. Lag is present in the game and you don't see your actual healthbar so there are various ways to cheat without attracting immediate attention.

I agree. It would leave you wondering if maybe that player was just a little TOO good... or was it just your imagination? And with the constant miscellaneous glitches, both scores and footage of gameplay would be pretty unreliable proof that someone was cheating. Hopefully nintendo and the devs pay close attention so this doesn't become a problem! I would hate to see random turf war matches be destroyed.
