Yup. There are cheaters in every game, and there will be times when the leaderboards will be corrupted. The key is for the developers to “clean up”.
i think they tried to abuse old bug (which may or may not be fixed in zombie MM), but discovered new bug. without seeing any code i would guess that all 3 groups requests arrived at same millisecond and that is why it put them in same queue. if my guess is correct this is one in a billion event.
The foundations of this game is so unstable so it’s not exactly surprising what’s happening
i am shocked and appalled. i simply cannot believe that such travesty would happen in this game.
and you’re so predictable I’m starting to suspect you for being AI.

To prevent any further discussions about this 1-8 tops rn. Preliminary plan is remove their max wave result from leaderboard.

Were they? Thats hilarious!
So any follow up going to happen, or the 8 stack what we should all do to get higher on leaderboard?
And how do we know there aren’t other people who might deliberately take advantage of this exploit? And just aren’t stupid enough to end up in the first few visible places.
That’s unfair, your leaderboard can’t be trusted for obvious reasons. Everyone who’s practicing in the event should get a portrait!

well it is quite easy search in sql. they just need to see if there are more than 4 players in match and if more than 4 players have kills and disqualify all matches with those conditions.

I’m not a tech guy, I have no idea what you mean by sql. (Although it’ll probably be some totally obvious thing)
You, as a player, have the ability to check it? Since I pretty much doubt they would have addressed this issue themselves if the community hadn’t pointed it out.
And I have no good reason to believe that they’ll fix something that isn’t visible at first glance.
At least for the vast majority of players it isn’t easily visible.
Given that we’re talking about a MEME portrait, it would perhaps be more reasonable to tie it to a fixed goal, such as “reach wave n° X or higher”, rather than making it available in limited amount to a tiny portion of players who may be earning it in shady ways.

im at wave 16 and ranked about 40k, so we have at least more than 40k people active. Damn
Yes, exactly. That’s more or less my point. You just said it much better and more reasonably.

You get the first portrait playing for 4 time
also im top 37% so about 110k registered account i guess
it is database language (most data is usually stored in it)
nope. they are rather restrictive with their data. it would be nice if they gave access to their API like wargaming cause i could make loads of things.
Want to improve zombie AI
Zombies cannot climb, which leads modders to place them in other maps, where they will stay put due to poor pathfinding.
In addition, I think zombies should be able to destroy some fragile scenes, such as sandbag walls, wooden fences, etc.
