Hahaha! I'll keep an eye out for you.
The automatic ban system is broken. Though I suppose you could stretch that to the game itself since multiplayer is a huge part of it.

This guy reminds me of Death Gun from Sword Art Online, except instead of dying IRL his victims get banned.

yeah, he got soft banned for hacking so as retaliation he's getting others soft banned.
I see. Well, nothing justifies what he's doing, but the anti-cheat system has been broken since launch. My wife's Japanese Steam account was flagged for "invalid data" even before she created her first character. With zero hours of playtime.

Shame about season 2. Season 1 of that show was top tier.

Like the guy in the video? They are looking for very specific things. You can use things like sweet fx without getting banned.

Did you miss the entirely second half of season 1?

I'd still rather be playing the PC version of DS3 tbqh
No it wasn't.

Eh, it gets a bit rocky, but I loved the concept and idea. Wish it was more fleshed out with MMO content.
Overall or my remark on season 2? I just couldn't get into the fairy stuff after season 1.

Wait he got killed by another hacker? lol is there a vid somewhere?
Online has been broken in many ways since launch.
Your remark on season one.

Fair enough. It's not my favourite anime by a long stretch (Evangelion and Steins;Gate just now), but the MMO idea just had me hooked.
Keep in mind I didn't really start watching anime seriously until last year. I have a ton of stuff to experience. I'm also an English dub peasant race. Just prefer things without subtitles.
Black Lagoon is what I'm finishing off right now, love it as well and good dub.
season 1 first half probably had the best plot and stakes, like you die in real life if you die in the game, them changing it up and all just bleh.
hacker name was MalcolmNoticeMe
or a time stamp......would love to see this

Going through his other videos, seems he's butthurt he got banned for hacking once.
I think getting dozens of people banned and complaining to Namco will probably light a fire under their ass to get it together at least.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I have a funny feeling if there was a button you could click that would make some random person on the other side of the world spontaneously combust, way too many people would never stop clicking that button.
One would hope.
If a button would give you great satisfaction but kill a random person in the world, people would press the fuck out of it.

Every human invader I've had all the way through NG and NG+ has actually been worse than the NPC invaders, so I can't say it feels like I'm missing out on much just switching to Offline Mode.
I stopped watching but I will request a compilation of his deaths.
Well thank god their "ban" system is shitty enough that you can just go to one of your backup saves where you're not banned yet and go on your merry way.
Remember to keep a recent backup, you'll never know when you need it but you'll be glad if you have it!
EDIT: Wondered why "Feel the bern", but now it hit me - OP wanted to PSA us, right?

This is a terrible anti cheat system. If you have save backups, the end of this would be getting killed, returning to your world and restoring your save file, all good. At worst, if you had no backups, you could at least create a new character.
I've been invaded by hackers before. Then I restored my save and moved on with my day. Nature of the beast.
Fix your bullshit From.
I don't think it works that way. Your info gets sent to From for review, then they manually ban you. Save backups won't help for long.

So how has he been killed?
Better cheaters
Bans come in waves (for DS2 it was every Wednesday and Saturday iirc) -- once your data is flagged it's flagged for good, even if you restore it, afaik.

I mean it seemed like he couldn't be hit and was invisible. I assumed if he encountered another cheater it would be a stale mate.

Bandai Namco support is saying otherwise, that you just have to remove whatever is triggering the "invalid game data" prompt ASAP to stay unbanned

Bandai's support for souls 2 bans was shocking and kept passing to from then from passed to bandai etc etc. Huge thread bout it on reddit regarding souls 2 with sweetfx etc
Not to be dismissive or anything but after what happened with DS2 softbans i wouldn't trust what Namco says. They gave out false info (knowingly or otherwise) then too. Seems like From runs the servers.
