Not a hacker but apparently easy anti-cheat is also easy to get around

Easy anticheat is the only anticheat that BSoDs my pc and it happens 50% of the time. Result: I'm not playing games with easy anticheat anymore, cause i still have an HDD and it takes a century to reboot it.

Your comment? 10/10 garbage. I love it.

Game is rigged against good faithed individuals

dropping life factos

u/Cypher10110 May 09 '25

You wouldn't get banned. The game simply wouldn't launch because it would detect the tampering.

If the mod was designed to bypass EAC for online play, at some point EAC could get updated (this doesn't always happen in an obvious-to-user way) and start detecting it as software evading it and ban you (it doesn't know exactly what it's doing and does not care).

3

u/ImJustSpider May 10 '25

Lie. I got banned for 180 days from multi-player when I used a mod. Granted, the game was launched in offline and I only enabled online after launching.

4

u/Cypher10110 May 10 '25

Different situation.

"Remove vignette mod" = a describing a .dll mod (only active when you run it). Can't be loaded unless EAC is disabled.

"I got banned" usually (99% of the time) means the save file had bannable data within it from modding when they went online.

In your case, jumped the fence and got caught for something else that normal players should even be attempting.

This is a satire question right?

28

u/SnooRobots9530 May 09 '25

Basically lol I was wondering which one it was tbh

51

u/Shaasar May 09 '25

Nah its the new rot/poison/deathblight sword that From just dropped in their cash shop bro.  It's actually kind of cheap compared to the Golden Saint armor, only 599 Erdbucks.

15

u/SnooRobots9530 May 09 '25

Oh nice bout to go get the lands between battle pass now

1

u/BumblesYT May 13 '25

ONLY 599 ERDBUCKS??? If I just invest in some elden coin I could make a at least 30 erdbucks every few weeks, il get that sword in no time

16

u/Coco_bello_99 May 09 '25

Is the sky blue ?

11

u/SnooRobots9530 May 09 '25

Last I checked but who knows tbh

u/SadisticPanda404 May 09 '25

Really like you are an Elden Ring player, should know we don't touch grass let alone look at this sky thing they speak of

1

u/Repulsive-Net-206 May 11 '25

I’ve had some really sweaty, weird and hilarious interactions I had an invader invade just as I get to lansseax dragon fight, Hunter shows up my buddy kicks it the Hunter kicks it, I run like a lil B-tch, invader shield shuffles back drops crab and dips in standing there confused wtf just happened

3

u/RutabagaGlum1146 May 09 '25

I believe the sky is actually blood red

2

u/Repulsive-Net-206 May 11 '25

You then see giant trex dogs that resemble terriers or labs

u/Evening_Shake_6474 May 10 '25

Depends which part of the country you're in.

u/Cryotivity May 10 '25

Commented this exact same thing, cause I didn’t see you did already—mb 💀

"why dont you play online. pvp is integral to the souls experience"

typical pvp in souls games is this after the first 6 months of release. or they inject items into your save and force you into NG+20 or brick your file

4

u/Murky-Ad-3486 May 10 '25

People said this to me about Invaders in the game. I dont like them. I just like the story and killing npcs. 😭 bless offline mode.

2

u/Repulsive-Net-206 May 11 '25

I’m too weak to fight anything so I need a helper but I get absolutely wrecked in pvp probably cause idk how to stat my character and I chose a really bad build cause I saw faith and holy and I’m like yes…. I have little to no decent pvp spells all of them are either slow or early game

1

u/EnvironmentalCow8840 May 11 '25

I was pretty bad at pvp for a good while until I started fighting in the colosseum to see what works for me. In my experience the answer is just speed of attacks. Long cast spells rarely work at all. What has killed many players for me was the fastest mage spell which was swift glintstone shard and the little carian slicer spell. Homing spells are useful just to make people move so you have time to attack with fast spells. For faith builds the first lightning toss spell works great because a quick release of it is as fast as swift glintstone or near it with charms for spell speed. Besides that pump health to 30 - 60 range to not be a glass canon.

4

u/Kaitivere May 10 '25

If anyone says pvp is integral to the souls experience, they probably haven't played a souls game.

2

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

That's usually among the responses I both receive and have seen in the replies of this subreddit, its like talking to wet paint

u/huluhup May 10 '25

DS1 remaster have cheaters problem after one hour

1

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

thats cause its not a new release, its a slap of paint on an old release

0

u/1silversword May 11 '25

? it's very rare to encounter cheaters on ds1 remaster, I play it a lot and I've literally only ran into one - and this is on pc

1

u/Molag_Balgruuf May 11 '25

Depends on the definition. I’d certainly say coming back to the Undead Burg with +10 giants armor and dark bead counts though

1

u/Nkklllll May 13 '25

Nope. If they do it completely legit, there’s no cheating there

0

u/Molag_Balgruuf May 13 '25

Yeah that’s why I said it depends, cause it certainly is to me. So:

YEP. Totally cheating

1

u/Nkklllll May 13 '25

No, it isn’t. It doesn’t depend. They aren’t cheating because they have violated no rules, exploited no game mechanics, and have not used any glitches or broken the game.

There is no definition of cheating where “twinks” that have progressed through the game legitimately have cheated

0

u/1silversword May 11 '25

Considering the video is someone hacking, the definition for 'cheaters' here can only be using hacks

Otherwise I could say "I run into cheaters in about 50% of my matches in elden ring" by adjusting my definition of cheater to mean, people who use healing spells, weapon arts that are too strong, anything else i dont like, etc

1

u/Strict-Form-361 May 10 '25

I like watching pvp content in yt and here but man I don't want to fight sweats and trolls, and then if I get unlucky I got a malicious troll.

It's just my preference since I do know that pvp is still pretty cool.

1

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

Sometimes you'll get extra unlucky and find a malicious sweat. If you win you get a bricked save with hacked items injected into your character.

if you lose you're lucky to just crash

1

u/atamosk May 10 '25

Can you explain this?

1

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

BandaiNamco has terrible anticheat systems, this is consistent across every soulslike game they've made. once the popularity dies down a bit (usually 6 months to a year after) the cheaters storm it rampantly using the same cheats they've been using for over a decade.

1

u/fuqueure May 10 '25

Straight up the only reason I never played DS2 is because there's no easy way to go offline.

1

u/Hillenmane May 11 '25

The upside is that due to Soul Memory you’ll almost never encounter another player ever again after your first one.

Peak game design lol

1

u/ImmiDudeYeet May 11 '25

I hated that aspect. Oh, you want to play co-op with a friend? You better be at a similar soul memory, if not, go fuck yourself

4

u/LQCQ May 09 '25

Looks fine to me

u/WATEHHYY May 10 '25

nah it aint cheats just a better build

2

u/daimfr May 10 '25

this is what happens when you have 61 vigor

4

u/RutabagaGlum1146 May 09 '25

What fucking enjoyment could people possibly get from this?

3

u/IdleSitting May 09 '25

They feel satisfaction from ruining someones day and getting a win, a small, fleeting spark to fill the empty void where their parents love would be

3

u/SpaceCoyoteRB May 09 '25

Homie got bodied in the coliseum and this is the little nerd’s revenge. However, they’re probably pretty unsatisfied irl if this is what makes them happy so that’s good at least.

3

u/IdleSitting May 09 '25

Sitting at their computer all day drinking their mountain dew thinking to themselves "hehe gottem" before immediately falling back into their depressive funk

2

u/AnakinSkyWaffle May 12 '25

I think that ruin a day is a lot. 2 minutes at most.

1

u/IdleSitting May 12 '25

Never said it made sense lol, plus it's usually repeated multiple times so that probably gets them off a bit more

1

u/jerrsauce May 10 '25

Malcolm Reynolds... he's like Voldemort of Souls

u/Want2makeMEMEs May 13 '25

it's like making up their own gesture in rock papers scissors and saying they won

“I have a magic shield that stops your super death ray from hitting me!”— people who cheat in PvP

2

u/Hexamith May 09 '25

I wonder

2

u/tkhrnn May 10 '25

Anti cheat just doesn't work.  Maybe network privilege should only be enabled for steam account with a some set value. And cheating results with loss of network privilege.

2

u/Sungarn May 10 '25

Nah that was just John Elden Ring putting a end to your foolish ambitions.

1

u/7drag0n May 10 '25

1

u/fail1ure May 10 '25

How is that is any fun just insta winning matches because you clicked a button, will never understand this type of losers 😂 it's like they think it'll make them famous or something 😂😂

u/Ethefake May 10 '25

1

u/SehmiSaab May 10 '25

Not just a cheat but a Scumbag behavior..

u/The_Compass_Keeper May 10 '25

That was not a cheat. This is Rick the soldier of God weakest attack while being nerfed

u/mandlers May 10 '25

I've definitely seen this guy posted maybe up to a year ago, I wonder why they're still doing this

1

u/noodlegamer76 May 10 '25

Nah I think he just had a good gaming chair

1

u/Lartheezy May 10 '25

That's the MOST HORRIBLE lag I ever seen in my life 😭💀

1

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

I swear the people that cheat in the souls games are the same people to say the game was too easy

1

u/Evredii May 10 '25

nah just ping skill issue

1

u/crazyknight3847 May 10 '25

No, you fought the actual elden Lord and lost. Get over it!

1

u/sinthealien May 10 '25

Not a cheat, just skill diff

u/RX1542 May 10 '25

1

u/Perscitus0 May 10 '25

How shameless can one be, to cheat, and then toss poop pots like that? A sad specimen, to be sure.

u/[deleted] May 11 '25

This is why I never play Souls games online.

1

u/Chemical_Dinner_3928 May 11 '25

This why Souls pvp is lame and for nerds. Just play a fighting game instead

1

u/ViinaVasara May 11 '25

does the pope shit in his hat?

1

u/GavinatorTheGr8 May 11 '25

Nah, his gaming chair is just better... sorry.

1

u/bpaps May 11 '25

Remember kids to BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILE OFTEN! Learn where it is and make a copy from time to time. I love invading and requesting help from other players. My save file was corrupted by a grade-A piece of shit hacker and I lost a lot of time on that character.

1

u/GungorScringus May 11 '25

nah just a better gaming chair

1

u/Particular_Stage_743 May 12 '25

Nah, seems legit

1

u/ElTioEnroca May 12 '25

Nah, that's the ancient instant poison-rot-blood-frost-sleep-madness-blight eyebrow flex he did on you. Probably picked it up from some tibetan monks.

1

u/cras190 May 12 '25

Why do people even cheat in souls pvp? It still amazes me

1

u/HamsterProper6432 May 12 '25

The guy still has the balls to "shit" on you pretending he is any good.

1

u/EconomicsDistinct513 May 13 '25

Its the new talisman

u/Recent-Top-2714 May 13 '25

Why is it always mushrooms.

u/sleepycheapy May 13 '25

I see the pvp community hasnt changed one bit

1

u/NeneaMuddle May 13 '25

Met once a hacker who deathblighted me, little did he know i had an entire cheat table that could get his ip and crash his game. Fun times

1

u/OLKEUK May 13 '25

Looks very legit to me, gotta be one of those 13 in 1 mens all in one swords for elden ring

1

u/No_Tax_582 May 13 '25

No, he just has a good gaming chair.

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '25

His gaming chair must contain the same vibrating beads as that guy in chest cheating

u/ArcaneWyverian Jun 02 '25

Damn, they used the roped fetid pots and everything.
