Gradivus Dilemma: Nodes Compromised

[[DE]Rebecca 171,153]

As of last night at 9:15 PM EST we were alerted that the Spear node was acting in a way that suggested a bug was occurring with the event. We reviewed the data and sure enough error was present and the investigation began.

 

This morning we reviewed further and discovered that this node was in-fact manually altered by a user who again struck this morning with the “Tharsis” node and subsequent active nodes.

 

All compromised nodes will be excluded from event results. These nodes include:

 

Spear, Tharsis, Martialis, and Augustus.  

 

Battle Pay will still be given out for these nodes.
 

We are hotfixing now to continue the Gradivus Dilemma and are monitoring closely for suspicious activity for the remainder of the event.

 

Edit: Your contributions to these nodes still count for your mission totals.

YAY! I hope this player will be getting the banhammer...

 

Shut up about this now, please.

I guess that public skinning with fruit peeler and rolling in salt is not an option supported and/or endorsed by DE?

[Flatline22 240]

what exactly was happening?

[Hobocannibal 20]

Wow, I assume by altering it you mean the grineer/corpus power balance was changed?

[PsychedelicSnake 56,346]

Seems like all it takes is one person to ruin the fun for everyone.

I had a feeling it was cheating. Glad its fixed, thanks DE!

Well this is not comforting to hear at all.

Wow leave it to d-bag hackers. 

[NightWillShade 40]

Sad to see the community do this but stuff happens right?

[EganMC 3,284]

I guess someone didn't want the Corpus to lose.

[OniDarkClown 3,291]

Thanks for the Update DE.  nice to see that the Node "Silliness" will be taken care of.

 

why is there always one Person that craps in the Breakfast cereal?

That's a horrible excuse! Oh my god, now you're saying CHEATERS did it? WOW, just WOW

[Katakuna 16,818]

So you're tellin' me that a salty Corpus supporter was mad he was losing, and tried to cheat his team's way to victory?

 

A victory through cheats ain't no victory at all.

 

What I'm more concerned about is whether or not he or others will be able to do it again.

So with those nodes excluded, whats the score with grineer and corpus now? 

[Genoscythe 6,566]

Oh my god, so you were hacked?

 

I hope you track this guy down, grineer AND corpus would have great interest in getting him alive I think.

So... do you mean these nodes won't count towards clan totals, or not at all, as in, I'll have to re-run 10-15 missions just to get the tier 2 rewards?

this smells like a ban

[AyezRed 96]

I don't care if the Corpus loose, I support what I believe in. I do not, however, think that people should stoop so low... 

[Zagrax 2,449]

I wonder if the devs know who this user is so we can execute them for war crimes. :D

Cheese grater flails are so much more satisfying.

 

Also, what Oktober said. Am I going to have to run like 15 missions again, or will affected missions still count for reward tiers?

Be more negative please.

I dont think they count for the overall territory captured, but runs and battle pay still count. Obviously Im not DE, but Im guessing thats it.
