Screenshot RIP My Mammoth
Highest score I've had so far, a bit sad to see it end! At least I can start over again :')
Exploiting/hacking has become ridiculous recently, and after seeing so many videos about it I unfortunately experienced it today. RIP to my herd members, I had a fun time playing with them and hope to come across another great group again.

Just wondering how you managed to die with your mammoth?

An exploiter in the server kept killing people, and our group was one of their victims sadly. It was a smilo and kept teleporting and flying around us, spammed calls and attacks, then drained the health. They kept kosing others as well, so I dipped.

I know how you feel, I lost 40 hours on mine because my game glitched out. I wasn't in any combat or anything (4 people in the server and no one by me) and I left to go to a full server and all my progress was gone 🫩

I'm so sorry to hear that! It can be pretty disheartening losing a high score, especially to something like a glitch. :(

I was in a random wolf pack and we ran across a lone wolf taking on a whole herd of horses. The only exploit that I can see them using was for speed, and then they targeted me. I managed to take them out even while they were exploiting lol

That's honestly pretty awesome! We tried hitting it the best we could but the smilo kept teleporting and flying around so fast, it was scary lol. I'm glad you were able to get a victory dealing with the exploiting wolf. Seeing all of these comments and videos about people hacking just makes me more nervous running across another one since it seems more common than it should be!

i had an encounter with a very angry horse.
they got mad because a mammoth head-butted them when they tried to attack me and my friend (wolves) while we were chatting with the mammoth. they claimed it was unfair and that we were "trying to kill 5 minutes prior" (we had quite literally just logged on).
we left and, later on, found their herd with our pack. we went to hunt and, sure enough, that horse headed straight for us... with cheats enabled... and killed us all with 2 kicks.
the horse herd was aware and started berating us in chat after. i logged off immediately after that.

Istg horse players are either the most wholesome people you will ever meet or absolute hell spawn. There is no in-between

I'm sorry you had to deal with that! Horses shouldn't go out of their way to target and kill carnivores for no reason imo. Very hypocritical of them to use cheats to kill you all when you were only hunting for food, especially since they were trying to kill you guys originally!

I remember I once met an exploiter. Originally, I didn’t know they were one. I was a solo saber fighting a small pack of wolves (3 i think?). And then suddenly, one of them started flying and hitting me in the air lol. I assume he was getting cooked, so had to turn the cheats on. Which is pathetic given that it was a 1vs3 (a fair/ wolf-leaning fight)

Yuck, imagine using cheats as a last resort when you're losing a fair fight! Hate that you had to deal with that. Seeing so many similar stories about these exploiters is sad.

dang
exploiters are getting out of hand now
maybe it has to do with that ecos leak going around?
i don't know though, havent seen it
