šŸŽ® WarRock – Time to Take Action Against Hackers & Unfair Play! 😔

Dear Admins,

I’ve been playing WarRock for years, and it’s honestly frustrating to see how badly the game is suffering because of hackers and exploiters. Almost every match now has players using aimbots, wallhacks, or lag switches — and it completely kills the fun for genuine players who just want to enjoy the game.

We report, we record, we complain — but it feels like nothing is really changing. The same cheaters keep coming back, and honest players are the ones who end up quitting out of frustration.

Here’s a simple suggestion:

Create an official WarRock Discord server (like many other games have) where players can directly report hackers or cheaters in real time. If an admin or moderator is online, they could quickly verify and take action. It would bring the community and developers closer and help maintain fairness instantly rather than waiting for ticket responses.

Also, please bring back or integrate a strong anti-cheat system like PunkBuster. It used to make a huge difference — we need something that can actively detect and prevent:

  • Aimbots / Wallhacks
  • Lag switches
  • Players deliberately lagging or abusing the connection to win

WarRock still has a loyal and passionate community. We just want a fair, competitive, and clean gaming environment again. Please, developers — listen to the community before the real players give up for good.

  • Official WarRock Discord? Like this one which exists since 2017?


  • Great - how many admins are online? or do they even come and check whats happening in game ? is it even active ? we had an update today and the very next hour we had hackers, hacking in clan war// I see month on month there is a list of players who are banned for various reasons? but has it stopped? NO - at least there should be a hardware ban so that they cannot come back. its so frustrating.. 🤨

    they will just use a hardware spoofer. It will never be able to prevent hacks in WR. You can just increase the speed of them getting caught and get banned.

  • This is a wonderful article. It should definitely not be ignored, and a swift decision should be made and implemented. Respect for your effort, my friend.

  • Hi,

    A direct channel to report hackers on-site. For example, it could be called #hack-alert.

    This requires a lot of commitment and I understand that it would be quite difficult because no one is there 24/7 to quickly log in and block the cheater.

    Thanks.

  • If no one's watching the match, they shouldn't just sit idly by. They should shut down the game too. The admin has filled the game with cheaters. Cheaters never punish their own friends. Didn't you see the tournament room? Two stars were flying. It was obvious they were flying. What are you complaining about? What happens if you report this guy and he doesn't get punished? It's obvious the VIP is cheating. Or maybe the admin has a father.


    Don't engage in idle chatter by asking for a complaint ticket.


    We demand punishment for cheaters interested in the game and regulations regarding our permanent belongings.

  • WarRock war schon vor Jahren am ende, aber jetzt ist richtig ende im GelƤnde...

  • Very soon... that's all we'll say.

    PunkBuster was honestly never a great anti-cheat system for wr. It was outdated, slow, and really easy to bypass. Cheaters always found ways around it, and PunkBuster barely kept up with new hacks. Most of the time it detected the same old cheats, but anything newer or slightly modified went straight through without any problem.

    On top of that, PunkBuster needed constant updates to stay effective, and wr simply didn’t get those updates anymore. So over time it became more of a ā€œcosmeticā€ anti-cheat — something that was technically there, but didn’t actually protect the game.

    That’s why the amount of cheaters never really went down. PunkBuster just wasn’t strong enough for a game like wr, especially when the support behind it got weaker and weaker.

    I really don’t get why some players still think PunkBuster was good. I think it’s simply because the player base back then was huge. When you look at the old days of wr, there were tens of thousands of players online at the same time. So of course it felt like there were fewer cheaters.

    If you have that many people playing, the few hundred hackers that existed just didn’t stand out as much.

    Today it’s a completely different story: only a small number of players are left, and a few hackers on top of that. With such low numbers, every cheater becomes super noticeable.

    And let’s be honest — after more than a decade of wr, some players still struggle, so it’s easy for them to think everyone who plays better must be cheating…xd

  • So, I knew I was right when I called someone a cheater.

  • Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts — but let’s clear up a few things.

    First, nobody here is claiming Punk Buster was perfect. Yes, it was outdated and yes, people eventually bypassed it.

    But even with all its weaknesses, the situation back then was still nowhere near as bad as it is today.

    That’s the point we’re making.

    Right now, with BattleEye in place, hackers are openly:

    • speed hacking
    • walling
    • no-reco
    • lag switching
    • using ESP and aimbots
    • Clumsy APP - which is not at all detected
    • …all without any real fear of detection.

    So clearly, whatever is running now is not stopping anything either.

    And regarding the ā€œplayer base was big so hackers weren’t noticeableā€ argument:

    That’s only half the story. Back then, even if Punk Buster wasn’t amazing, the combination of:

    • active GMs
    • community reporting
    • regular monitoring
    • server-side actions
    • made a big difference in keeping things under control.
    • Today we have NONE of that.

    About your comment on players ā€œstill struggling after a decadeā€:

    Come on, man. We’ve been playing this game long enough to know the difference between a skilled player and somebody snapping from head to head through walls with 0 recoil and 0 ping delay.

    Trying to paint every critic as a ā€œnoob who screams hackerā€ is a cheap way to dismiss valid concerns.

    It’s not about skill issues — it’s about the blatant, obvious cheating happening every single day.

    What we’re asking for isn’t complicated:

    • A proper Discord or real-time reporting channel
    • Active moderation
    • An anti-cheat that actually bans people using current hacks
    • Some level of transparency or engagement with the community

    WarRock still has loyal players who genuinely care about the game.

    We’re not mocking anyone — we’re trying to help the game survive.

    If people are still here, it’s because we WANT to see War Rock improve.

    Ignoring the problem or mocking the community won’t fix anything

  • This article should be pinned to the entire forum.


    Make sure all players, especially cheaters, see it.


    Thank you very much.

    Cheating and anti-cheating long story. The publisher simply doesn't want to change the game server.Ā Ā Ā 

    The publisher doesn't want even the slightest change to the game, improving the connection between players and the server. We play on a server designed for forums and chats. An online shooter on a server designed for forums and chats. Of course, there will be a high ping.

    Using Starlink, I got a full 4 bars ping. How far do Mask satellites fly above the earth? 4,000 km?

    You wish it would be like that. Way too many of those which should know the difference, are unable to tell the actual difference and rather cry since a decade about the same players just because they are unable to improve themself. Best of it: if you tell them their flaws, they will insult you, ignore it and continue to call you cheating.

  • He described himself quite formally.


    He was a cheater, and he used these word games to conceal the truth.


    And unfortunately, such cheaters have plenty of kin in the game.
