The developers of Palworld admitted that cheating is a real problem. They plan to call on external solutions to counter certain phenomena that penalize the community.
At the end of January, Palworld had a more than canon start: many people got into this “Pokémon with weapons”, out of simple curiosity or the desire to capture cute creatures. Things have calmed down a bit for the Pocketpair title but, every day, several hundred thousand fans continue to explore its universe. These big numbers are accompanied by an unfortunately inevitable phenomenon: cheating.
In a press release published on February 16, Pocketpair put the subject on the table, in complete transparency. The studio details the measures it plans to take to clean the servers of ill-advised behavior. Some people actually use loopholes in Palworld to pollute the parties. “ We can confirm that some players are unable to play the game correctly », Indicate the developers.
Palworld in turn targeted by cheating problems
Palworld just runs into the same problems as big multiplayer oriented titles (Call of Duty on your mind). Pocketpair admits to being overwhelmed by certain fraudulent activities, which can prevent caring people from connecting to Palworld. For developers, it is therefore imperative to implement means to get rid of cheaters as much as possible. “ We are working hard to return as quickly as possible to a situation where everyone can comfortably enjoy the game, and with peace of mind. “, we can read.
In the short term, that is to say at the end of February if all goes well, Pocketpair intends to introduce a functionality allowing players to be listed. The studio, which is committed to improving the content of Palworldsees this as an opportunity to identify cheaters more quickly, in order to sanction them if necessary.
In the longer term, Pocketpair will not hesitate to use external solutions, which could prove much more effective. We recall on this subject that Activision has gone very far to Call of Duty. Recently, the publisher actually integrated a “spy” tool to monitor as closely as possible. Palworld should escape it, but it is good to remember that publishers and developers are ready to do anything to clean up their communities. The future of the games concerned depends on it: if there are too many cheaters rampant, no one will come.
