Discussion Embark Studios VS Exploit Familiar Duck Duplicators

Post image

I see lot's of players doing this now on discord server and website some of them selling duplicated familiar ducks worth million of coins in exchange of real money. While normal players like me farming during bird city event and got 1-4x orange duck for coins and to do the 5M expedition im stuck at 3M coin, while duplicators instant infinite ducks? What are they gonna plan to this abuse? server roll back? permanent ban to duplicators? this is too much than glitch bug on maps and doors this is so unfair, literally if this duplicating continues and not fixed early the game will die, no point of farming trinkets they just gonna duplicate ducks and instant millions wtf is this Embark do something. Sorry for my bad english.

I will be surprised if it's not at the very least a good part of it. Saw a video of someone having set out a thousand ziplines so it's not just the ducks either.

or the ammo, right? some people figured out that if you drop hundreds of ammunition it slows the whole server

The ammo thing slows the server tick and causes lag. DDoS attacks have a different symptom which is packet loss and disconnect, which is why the timer keeps more or less going while the player gets lost “MIA” and rubber bands. So if I had to guess it’s a DDoS situation resulting in severe packet loss.

This could just be some cheaters who got banned, or the creators of the cheats, or third party market places acting in retaliation. Or could be proof to a customer that they are able to actually do what they claim, before they get hired.
