the future of rl

as some of you know, in April, epic games will officially be adding Easy Anti-Cheat to the game to prevent ddossers and bots in ranked. however, this also comes at the cost of bakkesmod, which will no longer be allowed in online matches including private matches. since this anti-cheat isnt owned/developed by epic, they cant alter it so that bakkes wont be banned. bc stupid 5 yr olds couldnt behave themselves online and decided to ruin ranked now the whole playerbase has to suffer the consequences.

im letting you all know i will be quitting the game when that happens. im going to push for higher ranks this and the start of next season, but after that im going to play very infrequently. im gonna focus on my personal life and getting ready for college. a lot of people think that its solely epic killing the game, but id say at this point the playerbase is as well.

i dont know whats going to happen to rl after this. we all thought it was gonna die after trading, but it stayed afloat. i doubt its gonna die anytime soon, but this is taking a huge toll on the playerbase, and could have very well been avoided if people didnt decide it would be funny to use bots and ddos attacks in ranked, since i doubt they were going to add this anti cheat before this stuff happened.

for all those people that caused this, is this really what you all wanted?

@Blacknight8400 those “features” added could’ve been done countless times before but they were added to distract all the console players from the main point. One of if not the main reason I bought my pc was for bakkesmod as I lost nearly all my items when changing my psn, but we can say bye to that now thanks to the shitty playerbase who takes fun in buying bots and ruining it for everyone else.

good for you bro, really takes something to focus on you and not other distractions. i myself might be quitting rl as well (playing less frequently) and focusing more on sim racing and getting better on that, plus, getting through the hell-hole of high school. in all honesty, i find it nice that people are taking the time to care about themselves and not games. good luck with college and seeya around ✌🏻

respect for leaving game behind, but honestly i think the removal of bakkes isn't bad bc, 1. it gives console players the same opportunity as pc players, 2. removes bots. also it allows epic to make more money. to me bakkes was like giving a child a diamond ring and another child a lump of dirt. the privileged child is sad now that his diamond was takin but he wouldn't be sad if that diamond hadn't existed in the first place.

was I talking to console players here? No. I’m saying since bakkes has been around forever for pc players it’s tough transitioning to something else. second of all, the dirt analogy is horrible because you can’t physically install bakkes on a console, and it’s not issued by epic, so no one is giving anyone anything. and it isn’t even confirmed that bots will be removed. what happens if this is for nothing?

Kinda true it makes the game more even for console players because being on pc is intrinsically superior for players to improve. BUT @couldbetom although you can’t physically install bakkesmod the game can STILL make a creative type mode (just like fortnite) it’s not impossible, they just don’t give a fuuck.

@couldbetom people who bot would typically combine an external AI program with software that can read game information and send automated controller inputs. First, the program gathers live match data like car positions, ball trajectory, boost amounts, and timing. Then the AI system processes that information and calculates what action to take. Finally, instead of the person pressing buttons, the program sends simulated controller inputs back to the game client. When this loop runs dozens of times per second, the car appears to play perfectly on its own.

@couldbetom So with that, remove bakkesmod will definitely reduce bottling significantly (not completely). But i think there should be other ways of doing it.

i mean i understand why bakkes removal sucks for many reasons outside of being able to modify the car bc like seeing ball speed, tas and the fact that some people like the bryce streamer guy expressed how he'd constantly get sniped if it weren't for bakkes
