Nadeshot was saying "he doesn't get people wanting to see games die" I don't think anybody wanted to see any games die I think people feel let down... It's like an I told you so moment that could have been avoided I don't think anybody necessarily feels good about being right unless they just never liked the game
@@NyteFalll it’s hard being a leader and then try to follow another leader especially when they don’t know what their doing. I don’t think we want the game to fail but developers continue to fail US every year with almost every game. They send a rushed product out and expect us to tell them how to fix their game and then get mad we stop playing becasue they don’t know how to make a good game. We don’t get payed to make the game, you do. Xdefiants core gameplay is from 2010s…they should have been spitting out updates left and right after season 1 but fail to do so which is the lack of leadership we have witnessed.
Sorry you’re going through it bro. I tried to get a light shone on the same issues with my other fav game, a western themed multiplayer which will remain unnamed. But everyone is so quick to call everything a skill issue when the cheating and Smurfs are so obvious. Thanks for being a voice for the legit gamers. We need more people like you. 💯
As a casual player who doesn't play ranked and is fine with pubs, I'm so happy that I don't have to deal with this shit myself. But I love XDefiant, and I don't want to see this game die, so I fully support you and fully support your fight against these people smurfing.
Hopefully some of the other bigger people covering this game go over this situation instead of ignoring it like they do with most of this games issues.
Most of the bigger creators don't step on divisive topics such as these, they have a reputation to uphold so they tend to just not speak out about it. And I respect them for that, if this was my full time job I may not be phrasing and approaching this the same way. Fortunately I'm not financially dependent on my socials so I can speak the truth
Yep, my buddy and I already moved on from this game. It's a shame because it was really fun but we got tired of facing Ruby and Legend level players in Silver while we were getting actual silver or bronze level players as our teammates. Him and I are really good, any non-ranked match we are putting up 30-40 with 2000-4000 objective score and 1.5-5.0 KD. We are definitely not legends, but we will never know because we were seeing this exact thing and just got tired of it because in order to stand any chance we'd have to find 2 more to fill our roster.
When the game first came out I loved playing it, got to level 103 (I class myself as a casual player). The game has some serious issues which are well documented so I won’t bring them up here. The season one launch was disappointing to say the least. More recently I am convinced the game has become saturated with cheaters. I stopped playing two weeks ago as I just wasn’t enjoying it much anymore. I agree with everything you have said about smurfing etc buddy, these people are just cheating scum bags, who ruin the game for others. It’s good to see a tuber that says how it is and gives a true account of things. Some other “big” tubers aren’t so honest!
Well because the other big creators have images to worry about and sponsors to please and their hands are tied. I do not have those restrictions. I will never bs people on a game that's trash. I just calls it like I sees it
And this is why you never EVER. Create a game and only listen to the High profile "pros" and "streamers". Because this whats killing the game. Aches should step down. He has no business running ranked. All because he was a "pro" back in the day.
the lack of real patches.. hit registration.. for one HUGE issue.. being shot AROUND corners.. the echelon hacking snipers who "hide" their gameplay as "Just being echelon".. which is wall hacks, aim bot(cant hide that ). they need to get a handle on.. i still like XD.. i dont plan on playing ranked, or not much, or just for kicks.. overall, the game is fun, when you get a game in that is basically just regs playing.. all levels.. and obvious no hackers in the lobby, those are some fun matches.. win or lose..
I was top 50 in ranked; before I got banned following playing vs a rage hacker & tea bagging him 😂. If your a big name and receive a false ban, all it takes is a tweet. If your a nobody like me who receives a false ban… you get told to make a new account & get a strike for opening tickets for info as to what toc was broken… rip the £200 I spend as they can’t refund it as i apparently” broke toc” i have 100 hours of footage recorded and they won’t even review it 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Ps the discords for top ranked players are disgusting. Numerous threats of harm to family, racism, wishing illness on each other after winning games etc. it’s vile.
I just want to say, it's not smart to admit to hacking into someone's account. That's a crime, and you got people backed by Ubisoft who now know. Should have just said that you got it from an 'anonymous source' because they will go after you, even if only out of spite.
In all honesty haven't seen him make a XDefiant video in a bit..or rather I haven't tuned into his channel since he's been on the BO6 no hype. I'm genuinely curious how him and Nero feel about the state of the game now. And stuff like this. I would expect BT yo speak on it.
We need everyone to like and share this!!!! this need to go viral in the gaming community!!!! THis is the most effective way to get voices heard in todays times!!!! Thanks for making this vid and exposing one of thier own!!!!! Btw i dont blame the pros , the dev are allowing it to happen so they continue the their actions because they are competive in nature!!!
Friend, you're telling the truth. And as you know, the power lies in the truth. These unscrupulous players are ready to do anything for the sake of views, new subscribers and donations, and they don't care about the rules and conscience. But sooner or later justice will prevail and they will get everything they deserve.
No reason to back down these players are trash and probably all cheating and people need to know about that and that the devs are friends with them and letting them get away with it
@@NyteFalll yeah I know some of them cheat. Hell they accuse each other of cheating lol. They all have big egos for a dead game. Aches only listens to his little streamers and ignores every1 else.
@@NyteFalll made it halfway thru gold and all matches had hackers or smurfs or no teammates. As a console player why do I even vs PC players? The 30 rank difference change is only to help the high level pc players shit on everyone else
As much as I love you no SBMM, im definitely gonna step away from this game…allowing cheatin and smurfing is unacceptable…but the fact is, since season 1 this game has been dying fast. Call of duty is no better. It Atleast there’s a bunch of more and fresh content coming for bo6. I said this from the beginning xdefiant need to stay on the pace they were the first couple week with all the updates they had but they since stopped updating the game. I wish the game the best but untill big changes happen I will be looking to play bo6
@@NyteFalll it’s crazy how the developers/leaders that we need to trust don’t respect its own community. The funny thing is that this game if free to play. They only make money if a player happens to hop on to the game and like a skin. With little player base at this point they are probably not making any money. But then the developers want to talk **** like their game is good and they’re better than everyone else. I would continue to watch you if you wanted to cover a different game. F these developers who think we’re a joke. You’re the joke for making a trash game. Bad leadership for XDefiant = XDefiant is dead
as a brazilian player of this game, i can tell that even in silver/gold lobbies it is impossible to play ranked, always a 150ping match... in the last xdebrief they told us we gonna be at least a 90ping server, but here in my region it doesnt happn, thank god pubs is going great, but for me (i consider myself a good player, 50+ kill almost every game and mvp) who wants to experience a ranked gameplay, basicaly just cant... sad to see the game dying so quick, such a nice feeling game... and with bo6 coming soon, this game will DIE. nice content bro, keep posting for us
Yeah I can't play ranked anymore for a number of reasons. The ping you have is all dependent on how far you are from the server. So they may just need more servers in Brazil
Game development and community management tip: Do not listen to pro players. Do not give anybody any privileges. Do not trust people who have no stake in the longevity of the product.
This is 100% on ubisoft and the xdefiant team to stop the smurfing problem. If i was a streamer and my job was to play the game i also wouldnt care if i smurfed because i need to find a match in a reasonable time
Yes it's on the dev team, but there are so many ways to entertain your stream without smurfing, idk why people think this is an excuse. You can just as easily play pubs
I havent played since they introduced the new maps and guns, not cause the game is no fun, but cause I cant find any friends willing to deal w this shit.
This was expected since it’s a Ubisoft product and not to mention every cod hater(hates cod but still play/talk about it) loves the game and says it has no faults, literally.
Honestly I was one of those people that are trying to hold on to hope because this game had so much potential. But when there’s institutional issues behind the actual gameplay it’s more than inevitable the game will fail. Honestly I’m waiting for BO6, but also I read Q1 2025 Delta Force is to be released on consoles. People I know on PC are raving about this game. Honestly I don’t know these streamers but I’ve watch them on twitch before. I just get a feeling that they aren’t really playing games because they actually like them. But rather hopping from fad to fad just for views. To me it feels almost fake. In a way they could play a game they despise but they’ll put on a show and fake actually liking the game. This is just how I see it, no clue if this actually true.
I uninstalled weeks ago but I hope it stays relevant enough for you to grow and win the Smurf battle cause OW2 ranked is unplayable cause of this issue
Growing is a side effect of this if that's what happens. My goal is to save a game I enjoy playing and haven't had this joy of playing a game since Apex first came out. But it's slowly dying and I hate it. OW2 is fun also but like you said it's unplayable for ranked
The top 500 on the CoD ranked lists are littered with players posting entire streams bragging about cheating, but i dont see any public outcry about that.
Damn I was so hyped for this game but they shouldn't have forced casuals into anything and given us TDM and decent weapon leveling Day 1 with a 2024 netcode. They fucked up their chance
If there is one thing i can advise to you its this(not saying your not already doing it)...People will always defend the actions they believe they wont get punished for and my advice is to never back down from them people, they are worse than what you find on the bottom of your shoe that smells real bad. You have a right to have your opinion and at least defend your honour, they don't have honour like the games of yesteryear had amongst gamers, integrity and fun is being drained out of all games buy those that want to f**k up your fun.
Well said, my goal is to see them get punished for it because it's crazy. The smurfing sure that could be overlooked but the boosting and playing on other accounts and posting cheat discords for the game is wild
I mean would I rather them go play another game instead of breaking ToS and ruining the ranked experience for players just starting out. Yes, yes I would. But also they could just play pubs
I legit hate ACHES. I knew from the start that he was going to royally botch the Ranked mode. And he has the audacity to say that he's a developer. Dude has no idea how to code, he's just an ex-CoD pro.
First off i do agree with what you are saying but its like this in every other game like this.. im not saying its ok but in my eyes as long as people still keep playing still getting battlepass or cosmetics things will never change.
Exactly. But it's not like THIS in every game. Or if it is, people don't talk about it, the fact that a dev is fraternizing with players and allowing them to talk about and post cheating discord servers and links to sites to get them among everything else they are doing is crazy
I legit am done with game after tonight. Game after game after game of cheaters, losing RP in ranked after half my team leaves(you read that right, two of my teammates left and I lost 45RP), people stop taking damage constantly once they get to 10hp then they’ll kill me and they’ll be literal 1hp. I’m tired of dropping my time in this game just to have a cheater or the game fuck me. No lube or anything. Also I’m not a bad player, check my stats. I’m top 4%. Games just absolute trash. I can’t defend it anymore. I’m done personally.
Yo, death threats? stay safe bro. Imagine complaining about no players at their level while being ignorant kicking butt of new coming players, I wonder what will happen? It must be a horrible experience for that guy that goes 9-45. If the dev keep protecting these '"pros & streamers" smurfing, their game will be dead for sure. These '"pros & streamers" will still be okay and move on to another game, the dev are at loss here!
It is fun don't get me wrong, I would suggest staying in Pubs for the time being though. If you'd like to stop by the stream later tonight I can answer any other questions you have
@@NyteFalllah ok, I was just asking as back when I used to play this on Windows 10 on launch day the frame limiter worked as it should. I only noticed it change when I started playing this game on Linux. So at that point my first thought was the Proton compatibility layer bugging out. Seems like that’s not the case. Thanks for answering
As soon as I saw how the ranked system works I knew it was going to be awful, this just tops it off hahaha So many problems with this game it’s barely worth the time you put in to play, I hope they somehow do a no mans sky and turn everything around
I never play ranked in any game. But I started in this game this week just to do the challenges. I’m in bronze 4 or 5 and I can’t find a lobby. I just wanna knock out these 50 games. 😂😂😂😑😑😑
Blame truth is only going to talk about Black ops 6 until they fix the net code, he just plays xdefiant in the background and gets a gameplay to talk over
Been watching BT for 15 years and he’s one of my favorites, but he is clearly biased about XDF. I got 50 hours, bought the battle pass, and enjoy the game. But most issues people bring up are reasonable, and in terms of responsiveness and overall content the game is lacking.
I briefly talked to you while browsing some streams a few days ago and you asked me about my opinion on the matter (smurfing etc.). I said smurfing is a grey area, which I still stand by, but from what I've seen from your different videos on the topic now, I'm leaning more towards this being a pretty terrible issue in this game (I still think boosting is unacceptable). And having the faces of XD-Twitch plagued with people glorifying it or at least actively taking part in it, is just leaving a sour taste in my mouth. I think smurfing is "okay" in a few instances/games but with XD not having any kind of sbmm other than rp even in ranked and the slow progression to top it off, it should be unacceptable to smurf. Also the talking behind your back and banning etc. is just absolutely awful. These people, again "faces" of XD-Twitch, are acting like literal children. Cringeworthy to say the least. Keep fighting the good fight.
I appreciate you stopping by. Hope to see you again in tomorrow's stream. Glad I can shed some light on why it's harmful to the game. It's more so because it's in a very early and volatile state because of the low playerbase. Otherwise smurfing wouldn't be as huge of an issue as it is. But the slew of other things going on that most people have no clue about is insane.
Games dont need rank to survive, they need content and little to no issues with core gameplay. I watch streamers who are my friends other than that Twitch is for drops only. Since Fornite dropped ranked has been this big popularity complex that most people simply dont give a shit about. Catering to "Pros" is what killed COD. People waste their money on COD every year just to continue to complain a month after its release. Is XDefiant perfect NO, not even close but most people get on play with friends then get off. Stop pandering to streamers and pros whos play on a different level than the casual dad or adult getting home from work trying to blow off steam with their friends. Add content + Fix bug all thats needed for the game to be good.
I still really enjoy this game, but this is sad to see. I enjoy Xdefiant for the casual no SBMM pubs. Sad to see that the competitive of this game sucks for those who want it.
like I mentioned on an older vid, "big" streamers get a pass on rules. COD has had them on a whitelist for their anti cheat, and as soon as one of them tries to smurf on an alt account, they get banned live on stream by the anti cheat, but they swear they dont cheat. I haven't turned my console on or even thought about the game going on 3 weeks now, it was getting stale anyway but why keep playing (even pubs) when all its all full of cheaters. Nothing is legitimate in life anymore, or at least it seems that way. if you can enjoy the game for what it is with hopes of things getting fixed and rules being enforce, then go ahead, no hate from me. But gaming used to be an entertaining escape from reality, not a simulated, expensive representation of how low people actually are. The bedroom twitch streamers have just about ruined online multiplayer games, its all a money grab. They pull naïve adults and children in with their dishonest game play to get tips and ad revenue while the devs look the other way because they are keeping the game relevant with all the views and bs tips to help them play just like them. The cheat programs evolve with more sophistication every day, Call of Shame covers it alot ( if you can look past their goofy/ weird child hero themes and editing ). Its just another black market honestly. Hope y'all find something else to play without these problems or even better, find something else in life that you enjoy doing more than this, cause the best way to win right now, is to not play. Good luck.
Can’t lie bro, ure old vids is what made me sub, the type of weapon details and that sort of stuff but recently all ure vids are just complaining mannn
I'm sorry you feel that way. I'd love to continue reviewing weapon attachments and stuff, but it's hard to enjoy the game when this is going on. Look at it from my perspective, these people are killing this game so I had to shift focus to attempt to save it and do what I can to bring attention to these issues. I don't see how this is complaining when certain people are allowed to cheat, boost, and smurf. Do you think that allows the game to be fun?
Lol fans? Nah not even close here bud. Funny how ya'll don't like when other people boost by throwing your games though isn't it. Like I said you don't care until it effects you. Thanks for the comment though
@@NyteFalll you made about 5 vids on me alone, plus you used cronus and sold scripts screaming about tos stuff you may just be the biggest hypocrite i have ever seen and just may be obsessed with me at this point. if you needed content off me just say it next time.
@@astonish2k He used cronus in the firing range to test weapons recoil as it was completely bugged and clearly stated the reason for owning it in the first place, as he used to sell scripts a few years ago. That has nothing to do with him using it in this game.
Ohh boo boo they ain't just about you, your delusional lol. And yeah sold cronus scripts for a single player game you twat waffle, not really hurting anyones experience over there now is it. And yeah I used it in the firing range one time to test the rapid fire barrel. Like I've said before I'll gladly take the ban if that's what they choose to do, so long as all your idiots are banned for what your doing also.
I think you are reaching for so much. I’m around the scene and have played with or against everyone you mentioned (also doesn’t make you the good person in all of this when you legit claimed that you hacked into their twitters) Smurfing isint something we want to do it’s something at this point we have to do XDefiant is legit dropping the ball on the comp scene and it’s sad to see all high rank players don’t have anyone to play against cause most of xdefiant community is all based casually not many play ranked and if they do they are very low ranks Which causes all of us to make smurfs in order to even get a single match cause if we played on our high rank mains it legit would take us hours to find a match or a lobby full of cheaters
Okay, so never admitted to hacking anyones twitter, in fact I've stated it definitely wasn't me that did that lol People are biting to hard on that thinking it was sarcasm. But also, by making smurfs and stomping on low level players you are turning more people away from ranked which is making your main issue even worse, but obviously no one can see that. But you could also just play pubs, very simple. It's the same or better competition compared to stomping on bronzes
@@NyteFalll first off you can definitely read thru the sarcasm matter of fact you should show proof and sources to these dms. and also its simple keep your ass on pubs if you dont wanna play ranked. if you want to improve and get better then go into ranked i don't care when i get slammed by good players i find it as practice to get better at the game. and if your in ranked there obviously a objective to improve at the game. if you want free no sbmm play pubs and keep your ass off ranked that simple.
Its ubisoft bro,the only thing they want is money..all there games from ghost recon to this there has been always cheatere strickpack zen everything..trash trash trash
And what's funny about cheaters they call out other cheaters for cheating and that's funny asf how are you calling out other people for cheating and your cheating yourself that's what's hilarious about the cheaters
Brother, did you watch the video lol it's not just smurfing, they are providing cheat links to one another and boosting accounts right in front of a dev, they even tag him in this stuff
you are incorrect about something, the other person may have high ping due to their own personal connection issues. Because if it was capped all around at 125 people with bad internet would not play since they wouldn't meet the criteria.
@@NyteFalll you dont get it, the server may be pinging that person the right ping but his internet might be working incorrectly causing the fluctuation. It is a process when it comes to connections. Lets say I have a ping of 25 right and I join a lobby then lets say my GF connects and my brother too and it starts raining when I get into raid. The ping will start reflecting current ping even tho I qualified in search, do you understand me man?
I dont like the misleading title. Smurfing is not cheating and it is prevalent in literally EVERY game that has a ranked system. League of Legends, Apex, Valorant, etc. At the end of the day when you get up into the top 0.01% of players it takes too long to find matches. And this is even more amplified on a small community game like xDefiant. Like it or not streaming is their job, they need to be able to entertain their audience or they cant pay their bills/feed their families. So please stop making it seem like these ppl are cheater scum because their is a huge difference. If you watch any of their streams, you can tell that they dont WANT to smurf most of the time because its boring for them. But if they cant find matches in their elo what do you do? It is on the developers to find a way to improve the matchmaking for high elo players. And the idea that they should just play pubs isnt quite the same because they want the ranked rule set, gamemodes and maps. They need to hurry up and put in the private match option so these high elo players can just make lobbies for themselves "Pro 8s" like in COD.
Wow the fact you are defending them is wild. And the title isn't misleading, you either didn't watch the video all the way through or you just didn't pay attention. In this same group chat they are sharing links for websites and discords where they can buy cheats like wall hacks and aimbot for this game. And the "need to pay bills and feed their families" argument is hilarious, what were they doing before XDefiant came out? Go back to that and I've listed like 6 ways they can still play this game and make content without making smurfs, they can simply play pubs and have more competitive matches than smurfing in bronze. And they don't want to smurf is a joke too, because the other games they came from don't have these issues and guess what? They smurfed there too
@NyteFalll ok you clearly didn't read my comment fully before responding 🤣 I did watch your video and no where in that chat with Aches that you showed was aimbot and walls mentioned. Just smurfing. But if you have a source that's in the chat saying otherwise, that's a different conversation. As smurfing is nowhere near the same thing as aimbot or walling. The argument that they should just stop playing xDefiant is not helpful to the lifespan of the game. If everyone just left xDefiant anytime they didn't like something there would be no players. We need to find a constructive solution, which is why I mentioned private matches. Which makes your comment that they smurfed in CoD make no sense because if you actually watched then they were not. They played private matches/pro 8s for the most part. Unless they were doing a unranked to iridescent series for content. At the end of the day videos like this are destructive and not helpful. We should be finding solutions not creating a ridiculous witch hunt where no one wins. Please read carefully before responding this time thanks 🤷
@@TheFrankIcon I actually did read your entire comment. And you're right I didn't show all of that, YET. Because I wanted to give those a chance to come out and explain themselves first. There's more to come. And your right smurfing is not on the same level of scum as straight up cheating, but both are against ToS. But then you say if I actually watched they didn't smurf, then said they did a whole series where they basically smurfed lol. So yes they smurfed glad we got that cleared up. And no videos like this aren't destructive. Because without videos like this they continue to look the other way and allow all of this to happen and a solution is never discussed. I've offered solutions. Solutions on how to fix smurfing or at least take steps to start to fix it. I've offered solutions for ways they can still make content without breaking ToS like many other creators do every day. So if you watch all of there content and think you know everything they do or have done, please watch all of mine first before you think you know what I'm attempting to do with videos like this. Thanks
smurfing 10000% but with @ACHES not replaying now u are streching things. He cant replay to everything even if its a private thing, do u replay to ever @everyone u get. Person that took that pic can have edited it if @ACHES hasent responded to it. U are just trying to make drama for views or internet points and its fine but pls. If u love comp and acctually grind for being the best dont smurf, go to pubs to fuck around with friends, chat will love it. This is a really bad take from u, but u did something good that i think everyone can agree with and its smurfing. ALL SMURFING NEED TO GET BANNED. U talked about death threats, can u show them? U have snaps of other messages but not them? U can blure names?
I'm not putting everything out at once. And no he doesn't need to reply to everything, but that is the point of the video tomorrow because he does reply and what he says might make you understand that it's a problem. And the other stuff going on that I'm getting the hate messages and death threats, not sure how YT takes that kind of stuff so I wasn't sure. Also I don't want to make this about me because it's not and they can send all the threats they want to. The point of this video is to get eyes on the corruption ruining this game
How is it good? It's harmful to the game. Higher skill players are making people quit the game because they are getting stomped in ranked by players they think are bronze or silver causing more players to leave the game is not a good thing
Not so tight skill difference is still limited though. Pubs is fine with no SBMM there they are free to do as they please. But when they do this in a ranked competitive environment, they are ruining the integrity of the game. If you'd like you can go ask chatgpt why smurfing in video games is bad and then also watch my whole video I made about it. And if you still have questions or want to debate it in a friendly manor I will be live tomorrow at 8pm EST
Feel sorry for genuine fans of this game it is a good game but this stuff kills it ive not played in a long time just playing racing games at this point even cheaters there too its mad 😂 people are bloody sad

@@NyteFalll ty just because when I buy a shooter or download free shooter like xdefiant I never to in my opinion I think it’s a waste of money
Every free to play game allows hackers it’s common knowledge at this point you can easily get banned for toxicity than cheating
And it shouldn't be this way. Time to expose the corruption
@NyteFalll brother you are a breathe of fresh air
.actual reasoning
@@Buglife.352 glad someone thinks so lol
try to cheat in valorant then...
When the game first came out I loved playing it, got to level 103 (I class myself as a casual player). The game has some serious issues which are well documented so I won’t bring them up here. The season one launch was disappointing to say the least. More recently I am convinced the game has become saturated with cheaters. I stopped playing two weeks ago as I just wasn’t enjoying it much anymore. I agree with everything you have said about smurfing etc buddy, these people are just cheating scum bags, who ruin the game for others. It’s good to see a tuber that says how it is and gives a true account of things. Some other “big” tubers aren’t so honest!
Lol yeah JB is blantatly a paid shill now
Well because the other big creators have images to worry about and sponsors to please and their hands are tied. I do not have those restrictions. I will never bs people on a game that's trash. I just calls it like I sees it
And this is why you never EVER. Create a game and only listen to the High profile "pros" and "streamers". Because this whats killing the game. Aches should step down. He has no business running ranked. All because he was a "pro" back in the day.
Case in point. Him being a pro back in the day is arguably whats hindering him from acting on these players cheating
@@NyteFalll Precisely
Also, these "pros" are also one of the factors that ruined Call of Duty.
@@eiontactics9056 Very true
the lack of real patches.. hit registration.. for one HUGE issue.. being shot AROUND corners.. the echelon hacking snipers who "hide" their gameplay as "Just being echelon".. which is wall hacks, aim bot(cant hide that ). they need to get a handle on..
i still like XD.. i dont plan on playing ranked, or not much, or just for kicks.. overall, the game is fun, when you get a game in that is basically just regs playing.. all levels.. and obvious no hackers in the lobby, those are some fun matches.. win or lose..
Totally agree
I was top 50 in ranked; before I got banned following playing vs a rage hacker & tea bagging him 😂. If your a big name and receive a false ban, all it takes is a tweet. If your a nobody like me who receives a false ban… you get told to make a new account & get a strike for opening tickets for info as to what toc was broken… rip the £200 I spend as they can’t refund it as i apparently” broke toc” i have 100 hours of footage recorded and they won’t even review it 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Ps the discords for top ranked players are disgusting. Numerous threats of harm to family, racism, wishing illness on each other after winning games etc. it’s vile.
That's crazy that you get banned for being toxic before they ban people breaking ToS lol
For real man 😣 and the guy rage hacking is still unbanned 2 weeks later… now emerald 8.
I just want to say, it's not smart to admit to hacking into someone's account. That's a crime, and you got people backed by Ubisoft who now know. Should have just said that you got it from an 'anonymous source' because they will go after you, even if only out of spite.
I didn't admit to it I said it definitely wasn't me trying to throw them off my source
@@NyteFalllbro I’m so glad someone has the balls to expose these streamers really appreciate the content as always bro ❤
I wonder how BlameTruth is gonna take this...
Probably just going to continue glazing
Glazing what? This wasn't him dissing the game at all just saying that these people aren't cool for doing the things they are doing
In all honesty haven't seen him make a XDefiant video in a bit..or rather I haven't tuned into his channel since he's been on the BO6 no hype. I'm genuinely curious how him and Nero feel about the state of the game now. And stuff like this. I would expect BT yo speak on it.
We need everyone to like and share this!!!! this need to go viral in the gaming community!!!! THis is the most effective way to get voices heard in todays times!!!! Thanks for making this vid and exposing one of thier own!!!!! Btw i dont blame the pros , the dev are allowing it to happen so they continue the their actions because they are competive in nature!!!
@debizzle3 yeah but the players are acting in ways they shouldn't and they know better
Friend, you're telling the truth. And as you know, the power lies in the truth. These unscrupulous players are ready to do anything for the sake of views, new subscribers and donations, and they don't care about the rules and conscience. But sooner or later justice will prevail and they will get everything they deserve.
Really hope so
I respect you for not backing down. I'm level 230 and this game has ton of issues i only keep playing cause I've made some good friends.
No reason to back down these players are trash and probably all cheating and people need to know about that and that the devs are friends with them and letting them get away with it
@@NyteFalll yeah I know some of them cheat. Hell they accuse each other of cheating lol. They all have big egos for a dead game. Aches only listens to his little streamers and ignores every1 else.
@@NyteFalll made it halfway thru gold and all matches had hackers or smurfs or no teammates. As a console player why do I even vs PC players? The 30 rank difference change is only to help the high level pc players shit on everyone else
As much as I love you no SBMM, im definitely gonna step away from this game…allowing cheatin and smurfing is unacceptable…but the fact is, since season 1 this game has been dying fast.
Call of duty is no better. It Atleast there’s a bunch of more and fresh content coming for bo6. I said this from the beginning xdefiant need to stay on the pace they were the first couple week with all the updates they had but they since stopped updating the game. I wish the game the best but untill big changes happen I will be looking to play bo6
Yeah, big changes need to happen and fast, starting with an inner look at their team
@@NyteFalll it’s crazy how the developers/leaders that we need to trust don’t respect its own community. The funny thing is that this game if free to play. They only make money if a player happens to hop on to the game and like a skin. With little player base at this point they are probably not making any money. But then the developers want to talk **** like their game is good and they’re better than everyone else.
I would continue to watch you if you wanted to cover a different game. F these developers who think we’re a joke. You’re the joke for making a trash game. Bad leadership for XDefiant = XDefiant is dead
as a brazilian player of this game, i can tell that even in silver/gold lobbies it is impossible to play ranked, always a 150ping match... in the last xdebrief they told us we gonna be at least a 90ping server, but here in my region it doesnt happn, thank god pubs is going great, but for me (i consider myself a good player, 50+ kill almost every game and mvp) who wants to experience a ranked gameplay, basicaly just cant... sad to see the game dying so quick, such a nice feeling game... and with bo6 coming soon, this game will DIE.
nice content bro, keep posting for us
Yeah I can't play ranked anymore for a number of reasons. The ping you have is all dependent on how far you are from the server. So they may just need more servers in Brazil
@@NyteFalll South America in general is falling in player count for this game... sad but true
@bernardoreali3650 it's everywhere because of the lack of content and all this stuff going on behind the scenes
I will drop this game faster than cod. Im so sick of multi million or billion dollar companies fucking with everyone
Yeah, it's not a great feeling
Game development and community management tip:
Do not listen to pro players. Do not give anybody any privileges. Do not trust people who have no stake in the longevity of the product.
Great tips lol just need them to listen now
This is 100% on ubisoft and the xdefiant team to stop the smurfing problem. If i was a streamer and my job was to play the game i also wouldnt care if i smurfed because i need to find a match in a reasonable time
Yes it's on the dev team, but there are so many ways to entertain your stream without smurfing, idk why people think this is an excuse. You can just as easily play pubs
I havent played since they introduced the new maps and guns, not cause the game is no fun, but cause I cant find any friends willing to deal w this shit.
Same, I just end up playing solo lol
@@NyteFalll have u ever played with subs before?
@@AJDelanoue-tb9vo All the time when I stream Fridays and some Saturdays
@@NyteFalll sweet man Ill have to keep my eyes peeled
I mean there’s never going to be enough people at the highest ranks unless they fix the game and attract more players
Right, and them smurfing is turning more people away
Its happening in pub too, smurfing
Well yeah they need to get it up to level 40 to play ranked. Smurfing in pubs beyond that is kind of stupid because there is no SBMM
This was expected since it’s a Ubisoft product and not to mention every cod hater(hates cod but still play/talk about it) loves the game and says it has no faults, literally.
I mean Siege went through some rough patches but I don't think it was ever quite this bad
Honestly I was one of those people that are trying to hold on to hope because this game had so much potential. But when there’s institutional issues behind the actual gameplay it’s more than inevitable the game will fail.
Honestly I’m waiting for BO6, but also I read Q1 2025 Delta Force is to be released on consoles. People I know on PC are raving about this game.
Honestly I don’t know these streamers but I’ve watch them on twitch before. I just get a feeling that they aren’t really playing games because they actually like them. But rather hopping from fad to fad just for views. To me it feels almost fake. In a way they could play a game they despise but they’ll put on a show and fake actually liking the game. This is just how I see it, no clue if this actually true.
I haven't played this game in weeks and uninstalled it due to all the other issues. Shame as it had potential and had its fun moments.
Thats sad, I still play pubs every so often because I do enjoy the game still
So did I at first, but you can only go so long while nothing changes. I dont want the game to die and hope it doesn't.
I uninstalled weeks ago but I hope it stays relevant enough for you to grow and win the Smurf battle cause OW2 ranked is unplayable cause of this issue
Growing is a side effect of this if that's what happens. My goal is to save a game I enjoy playing and haven't had this joy of playing a game since Apex first came out. But it's slowly dying and I hate it. OW2 is fun also but like you said it's unplayable for ranked
Yeah, you earned a sub tonight
I appreciate you. Hopefully when the drama dies down we can get back to actually talking about the game
The top 500 on the CoD ranked lists are littered with players posting entire streams bragging about cheating, but i dont see any public outcry about that.
Idk about CoD. If I cared about that game I definitely would be
No outcry? Very common complaint on the Steam forum for COD. Think everyone has realized that Ricochet is either garbage or a false flag.
Yes I have
Damn I was so hyped for this game but they shouldn't have forced casuals into anything and given us TDM and decent weapon leveling Day 1 with a 2024 netcode. They fucked up their chance
Yeah and they force them to face cheaters no less
@@NyteFalll I'm on Xbox and don't notice it but i stopped paying attention to my gameplay in general years ago
If there is one thing i can advise to you its this(not saying your not already doing it)...People will always defend the actions they believe they wont get punished for and my advice is to never back down from them people, they are worse than what you find on the bottom of your shoe that smells real bad.
You have a right to have your opinion and at least defend your honour, they don't have honour like the games of yesteryear had amongst gamers, integrity and fun is being drained out of all games buy those that want to f**k up your fun.
Well said, my goal is to see them get punished for it because it's crazy. The smurfing sure that could be overlooked but the boosting and playing on other accounts and posting cheat discords for the game is wild
tbf i dont have a huge issue with players surfing, if they can't get lobbies on their account. Would you rather them go play other games? Probably not
I mean would I rather them go play another game instead of breaking ToS and ruining the ranked experience for players just starting out. Yes, yes I would. But also they could just play pubs
I legit hate ACHES. I knew from the start that he was going to royally botch the Ranked mode. And he has the audacity to say that he's a developer. Dude has no idea how to code, he's just an ex-CoD pro.
Ohhh then your going to love tomorrows video lol
Smurfing has always been annoying in games but what can even be done about it?
Make an example early on, take after Valorant introduce Anti smurf detection
First off i do agree with what you are saying but its like this in every other game like this.. im not saying its ok but in my eyes as long as people still keep playing still getting battlepass or cosmetics things will never change.
Exactly. But it's not like THIS in every game. Or if it is, people don't talk about it, the fact that a dev is fraternizing with players and allowing them to talk about and post cheating discord servers and links to sites to get them among everything else they are doing is crazy
I legit am done with game after tonight. Game after game after game of cheaters, losing RP in ranked after half my team leaves(you read that right, two of my teammates left and I lost 45RP), people stop taking damage constantly once they get to 10hp then they’ll kill me and they’ll be literal 1hp. I’m tired of dropping my time in this game just to have a cheater or the game fuck me. No lube or anything. Also I’m not a bad player, check my stats. I’m top 4%. Games just absolute trash. I can’t defend it anymore. I’m done personally.
From my understanding if 2 of your teammates leave you shouldn't lose any RP, do you have a clip of this happening?
Top 4 % is still mid. No wonder you’re struggling. You’ll never hear a top 1% player crying.
@pubplays368 well no they just smurf and boost and cheat lol
@@NyteFalllI unfortunately don’t have any footage of it happening, but my house heard it happen at 1A.M.
@@pubplays368have you ever been in the top 10% of anything except for when no child left behind was a thing
Yo, death threats? stay safe bro. Imagine complaining about no players at their level while being ignorant kicking butt of new coming players, I wonder what will happen? It must be a horrible experience for that guy that goes 9-45. If the dev keep protecting these '"pros & streamers" smurfing, their game will be dead for sure. These '"pros & streamers" will still be okay and move on to another game, the dev are at loss here!
yup the devs and the players that actually care about the game and wanted it to succeed
Is this game worth playing? I've never played it. The mechanics look interesting though, good movement and gunplay.
It is fun don't get me wrong, I would suggest staying in Pubs for the time being though. If you'd like to stop by the stream later tonight I can answer any other questions you have
Are you playing on Linux? I see that your FPS drops to 11 instead of 10 when the game is out of focus
@noodlez7101 nope I'm running windows 11, but that's a very astute observation with all that's going on lol
@@NyteFalllah ok, I was just asking as back when I used to play this on Windows 10 on launch day the frame limiter worked as it should. I only noticed it change when I started playing this game on Linux. So at that point my first thought was the Proton compatibility layer bugging out. Seems like that’s not the case. Thanks for answering
Ohh, I see. Yeah no problem
I don't smurf but I have those 250 to 20 games all the time :)
In pubs or ranked?
As soon as I saw how the ranked system works I knew it was going to be awful, this just tops it off hahaha
So many problems with this game it’s barely worth the time you put in to play, I hope they somehow do a no mans sky and turn everything around
yeah 10 divisions within each rank is way too much for this to work
I never play ranked in any game. But I started in this game this week just to do the challenges. I’m in bronze 4 or 5 and I can’t find a lobby. I just wanna knock out these 50 games. 😂😂😂😑😑😑
You can't find a lobby in bronze?? what servers are you on?
Blame truth is only going to talk about Black ops 6 until they fix the net code, he just plays xdefiant in the background and gets a gameplay to talk over
Well maybe this will prompt him to talk about this
Been watching BT for 15 years and he’s one of my favorites, but he is clearly biased about XDF.
I got 50 hours, bought the battle pass, and enjoy the game.
But most issues people bring up are reasonable, and in terms of responsiveness and overall content the game is lacking.
yup needs way more
I briefly talked to you while browsing some streams a few days ago and you asked me about my opinion on the matter (smurfing etc.). I said smurfing is a grey area, which I still stand by, but from what I've seen from your different videos on the topic now, I'm leaning more towards this being a pretty terrible issue in this game (I still think boosting is unacceptable). And having the faces of XD-Twitch plagued with people glorifying it or at least actively taking part in it, is just leaving a sour taste in my mouth. I think smurfing is "okay" in a few instances/games but with XD not having any kind of sbmm other than rp even in ranked and the slow progression to top it off, it should be unacceptable to smurf.
Also the talking behind your back and banning etc. is just absolutely awful. These people, again "faces" of XD-Twitch, are acting like literal children. Cringeworthy to say the least.
Keep fighting the good fight.
I appreciate you stopping by. Hope to see you again in tomorrow's stream. Glad I can shed some light on why it's harmful to the game. It's more so because it's in a very early and volatile state because of the low playerbase. Otherwise smurfing wouldn't be as huge of an issue as it is. But the slew of other things going on that most people have no clue about is insane.
Games dont need rank to survive, they need content and little to no issues with core gameplay.
I watch streamers who are my friends other than that Twitch is for drops only. Since Fornite dropped ranked has been this big popularity complex that most people simply dont give a shit about. Catering to "Pros" is what killed COD. People waste their money on COD every year just to continue to complain a month after its release. Is XDefiant perfect NO, not even close but most people get on play with friends then get off.
Stop pandering to streamers and pros whos play on a different level than the casual dad or adult getting home from work trying to blow off steam with their friends. Add content + Fix bug all thats needed for the game to be good.
Very true. But ranked is a nice aspect to have and when that gets ruined it eliminates a lot of the playerbase
Every game nowadays is always catered to the bigger streamers! I hope some day it's coming back and bite them in the ass...
Hopefully
Regardless i will continue to play because I'm having fun in pubs and I'm definitely not a,good player as my k/d is 0.9 but im having a blast though
For sure, I'll still be playing as well, mostly pubs but this stuff needs to get sorted out
I still really enjoy this game, but this is sad to see. I enjoy Xdefiant for the casual no SBMM pubs. Sad to see that the competitive of this game sucks for those who want it.
Yeah pubs is still fun, actually just dropped my new highest kill game last night but ranked is in a bad place

idk i mean COD sells clean files to cheat devs so yea i rlly dont care about smerfs but yea it ruins the gameplay for other players absolut
It's not just the smurfs, its the buying and selling boosted accounts, and cheating going on right in front of the devs eyeballs in his group chat
@@NyteFalll okay i understand
like I mentioned on an older vid, "big" streamers get a pass on rules. COD has had them on a whitelist for their anti cheat, and as soon as one of them tries to smurf on an alt account, they get banned live on stream by the anti cheat, but they swear they dont cheat. I haven't turned my console on or even thought about the game going on 3 weeks now, it was getting stale anyway but why keep playing (even pubs) when all its all full of cheaters. Nothing is legitimate in life anymore, or at least it seems that way. if you can enjoy the game for what it is with hopes of things getting fixed and rules being enforce, then go ahead, no hate from me. But gaming used to be an entertaining escape from reality, not a simulated, expensive representation of how low people actually are. The bedroom twitch streamers have just about ruined online multiplayer games, its all a money grab. They pull naïve adults and children in with their dishonest game play to get tips and ad revenue while the devs look the other way because they are keeping the game relevant with all the views and bs tips to help them play just like them. The cheat programs evolve with more sophistication every day, Call of Shame covers it alot ( if you can look past their goofy/ weird child hero themes and editing ). Its just another black market honestly. Hope y'all find something else to play without these problems or even better, find something else in life that you enjoy doing more than this, cause the best way to win right now, is to not play. Good luck.
Very well said, couldn't agree more. This is why I enjoy single player games

Even with the evidence laid out before you ? Activision does suck, but it's not just then allowing streamers to unduly influence the game.
Can’t lie bro, ure old vids is what made me sub, the type of weapon details and that sort of stuff but recently all ure vids are just complaining mannn
I'm sorry you feel that way. I'd love to continue reviewing weapon attachments and stuff, but it's hard to enjoy the game when this is going on. Look at it from my perspective, these people are killing this game so I had to shift focus to attempt to save it and do what I can to bring attention to these issues. I don't see how this is complaining when certain people are allowed to cheat, boost, and smurf. Do you think that allows the game to be fun?
im just on xd until bo6 comes out then ill be on n off xd from there every game is corrupt frfr.

I think you are reaching for so much. I’m around the scene and have played with or against everyone you mentioned (also doesn’t make you the good person in all of this when you legit claimed that you hacked into their twitters) Smurfing isint something we want to do it’s something at this point we have to do XDefiant is legit dropping the ball on the comp scene and it’s sad to see all high rank players don’t have anyone to play against cause most of xdefiant community is all based casually not many play ranked and if they do they are very low ranks Which causes all of us to make smurfs in order to even get a single match cause if we played on our high rank mains it legit would take us hours to find a match or a lobby full of cheaters
Okay, so never admitted to hacking anyones twitter, in fact I've stated it definitely wasn't me that did that lol People are biting to hard on that thinking it was sarcasm. But also, by making smurfs and stomping on low level players you are turning more people away from ranked which is making your main issue even worse, but obviously no one can see that. But you could also just play pubs, very simple. It's the same or better competition compared to stomping on bronzes
@@NyteFalll first off you can definitely read thru the sarcasm matter of fact you should show proof and sources to these dms. and also its simple keep your ass on pubs if you dont wanna play ranked. if you want to improve and get better then go into ranked i don't care when i get slammed by good players i find it as practice to get better at the game. and if your in ranked there obviously a objective to improve at the game. if you want free no sbmm play pubs and keep your ass off ranked that simple.

lololololol
Its ubisoft bro,the only thing they want is money..all there games from ghost recon to this there has been always cheatere strickpack zen everything..trash trash trash

Honestly nobody cares about Smurfing. Ranked sucks so much ass Smurfing is the last issue.

@@NyteFalll yes, I get that point. But this is your 19th video regarding smufing. Relax.
That's a little overexaggerating lol and like I said, it's not just the smurfs thats the issue here
you are incorrect about something, the other person may have high ping due to their own personal connection issues. Because if it was capped all around at 125 people with bad internet would not play since they wouldn't meet the criteria.
So what part of what I said was incorrect? They should have been placed on a closer server then obviously. They told no one will have over 125 ping
@@NyteFalll you dont get it, the server may be pinging that person the right ping but his internet might be working incorrectly causing the fluctuation. It is a process when it comes to connections. Lets say I have a ping of 25 right and I join a lobby then lets say my GF connects and my brother too and it starts raining when I get into raid. The ping will start reflecting current ping even tho I qualified in search, do you understand me man?
I dont like the misleading title. Smurfing is not cheating and it is prevalent in literally EVERY game that has a ranked system. League of Legends, Apex, Valorant, etc. At the end of the day when you get up into the top 0.01% of players it takes too long to find matches. And this is even more amplified on a small community game like xDefiant. Like it or not streaming is their job, they need to be able to entertain their audience or they cant pay their bills/feed their families. So please stop making it seem like these ppl are cheater scum because their is a huge difference. If you watch any of their streams, you can tell that they dont WANT to smurf most of the time because its boring for them. But if they cant find matches in their elo what do you do? It is on the developers to find a way to improve the matchmaking for high elo players. And the idea that they should just play pubs isnt quite the same because they want the ranked rule set, gamemodes and maps. They need to hurry up and put in the private match option so these high elo players can just make lobbies for themselves "Pro 8s" like in COD.
Wow the fact you are defending them is wild. And the title isn't misleading, you either didn't watch the video all the way through or you just didn't pay attention. In this same group chat they are sharing links for websites and discords where they can buy cheats like wall hacks and aimbot for this game. And the "need to pay bills and feed their families" argument is hilarious, what were they doing before XDefiant came out? Go back to that and I've listed like 6 ways they can still play this game and make content without making smurfs, they can simply play pubs and have more competitive matches than smurfing in bronze. And they don't want to smurf is a joke too, because the other games they came from don't have these issues and guess what? They smurfed there too
@NyteFalll ok you clearly didn't read my comment fully before responding 🤣 I did watch your video and no where in that chat with Aches that you showed was aimbot and walls mentioned. Just smurfing. But if you have a source that's in the chat saying otherwise, that's a different conversation. As smurfing is nowhere near the same thing as aimbot or walling. The argument that they should just stop playing xDefiant is not helpful to the lifespan of the game. If everyone just left xDefiant anytime they didn't like something there would be no players. We need to find a constructive solution, which is why I mentioned private matches. Which makes your comment that they smurfed in CoD make no sense because if you actually watched then they were not. They played private matches/pro 8s for the most part. Unless they were doing a unranked to iridescent series for content. At the end of the day videos like this are destructive and not helpful. We should be finding solutions not creating a ridiculous witch hunt where no one wins. Please read carefully before responding this time thanks 🤷
@@TheFrankIcon I actually did read your entire comment. And you're right I didn't show all of that, YET. Because I wanted to give those a chance to come out and explain themselves first. There's more to come. And your right smurfing is not on the same level of scum as straight up cheating, but both are against ToS. But then you say if I actually watched they didn't smurf, then said they did a whole series where they basically smurfed lol. So yes they smurfed glad we got that cleared up. And no videos like this aren't destructive. Because without videos like this they continue to look the other way and allow all of this to happen and a solution is never discussed. I've offered solutions. Solutions on how to fix smurfing or at least take steps to start to fix it. I've offered solutions for ways they can still make content without breaking ToS like many other creators do every day. So if you watch all of there content and think you know everything they do or have done, please watch all of mine first before you think you know what I'm attempting to do with videos like this. Thanks
smurfing 10000% but with @ACHES not replaying now u are streching things. He cant replay to everything even if its a private thing, do u replay to ever @everyone u get. Person that took that pic can have edited it if @ACHES hasent responded to it. U are just trying to make drama for views or internet points and its fine but pls. If u love comp and acctually grind for being the best dont smurf, go to pubs to fuck around with friends, chat will love it. This is a really bad take from u, but u did something good that i think everyone can agree with and its smurfing. ALL SMURFING NEED TO GET BANNED.
U talked about death threats, can u show them? U have snaps of other messages but not them? U can blure names?
I'm not putting everything out at once. And no he doesn't need to reply to everything, but that is the point of the video tomorrow because he does reply and what he says might make you understand that it's a problem. And the other stuff going on that I'm getting the hate messages and death threats, not sure how YT takes that kind of stuff so I wasn't sure. Also I don't want to make this about me because it's not and they can send all the threats they want to. The point of this video is to get eyes on the corruption ruining this game
Genuinely don't understand the problem with smurfing. I never do it coz I find it pointless but I feel like it's actually good imo
How is it good? It's harmful to the game. Higher skill players are making people quit the game because they are getting stomped in ranked by players they think are bronze or silver causing more players to leave the game is not a good thing
@@NyteFalll by having not so tight skill difference between players and by playing against better players now and then give u a better perspective
Not so tight skill difference is still limited though. Pubs is fine with no SBMM there they are free to do as they please. But when they do this in a ranked competitive environment, they are ruining the integrity of the game. If you'd like you can go ask chatgpt why smurfing in video games is bad and then also watch my whole video I made about it. And if you still have questions or want to debate it in a friendly manor I will be live tomorrow at 8pm EST
Feel sorry for genuine fans of this game it is a good game but this stuff kills it ive not played in a long time just playing racing games at this point even cheaters there too its mad 😂 people are bloody sad
Yeah it's tough to see what it's come to, this game had such high hopes
@BlameTruth 😅😅
Brother if you see this I meant no ill will lol big fan. But truth is in your name and I'm hoping you stand by what you said a few days ago
So no point to even start playing game lol.
Waiting for some Asian made shooter.
I wouldn't say there is no point, just don't try ranked and think if you get destroyed that your not good enough
