Well Goddamn it...

I was going to go online with my modded dude until I read this.

Guess I'm playing on offline mode. (Have been for the past few days, but wanted to get online at SOME point.)

I wish I knew which idiots were doing it... Now people will probably attempt to lower our reputation and report us for cheating, possibly getting us banned.

This is no suprise at all. I figured it would happen eventually. :P the book of guilty just makes it easy for people to report him though.

That's the thing, even though it's not a surprise, I expected the people who downloaded the editor from here to have COMMON sense. But nope...

What gets you in the Book Of The Guilty anyways? I was looking forward to doing Co-Op online with my Warrior dude. (Not interested in PVP or "Invasions".)

well too bad i'd say....
well we really never intend for our editors to be used in online games... well at least i don't
but... if the games have any protection against something so simple... then i don't see why i would do the job of the devs who get paid for it ^-^

that said...
it's up to the players who use those editors if they really want to risk being banned or what so ever... just don't cry about it when it happens ^-^

just saying my 2 cents iv never been banned using a modded save for a game ever. but i have been reset on achvs.

and to get on that book u have to invade other peoples worlds and kill them. if u invade another person world by being on a convent or w/e its called like the one in the forest u wont get put on it. or i havnt been put on it yet and thats with invading 50 games because all u do is put the ring on the cat gave u and it summons u to protect the area. get nice items out of it 2

Oh, I have no doubt about your intentions with the editor. In fact, I don't blame you at all and I'm glad you made it.

I'm just mad at whichever n00bs got careless with it and ruined it for the rest of us. I'm not surprised, but it is annoying.

I'm not really crying about it. Just very disappointed at them.

I truly hope you're right.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Either ways, just thought I'd give a heads up on all of this when I made the thread.

Well, "who" did it isn't hard, since his GT is mentioned in the Gamefaqs thread (and he posted in the thread taunting people as well). To any normal player (and even somewhat hacked ones with extra souls, equipment, etc.) this character would be unstoppable.

For reference, he has 99k hp, 99 in every stat, 10k equip load, but is listed as level "35". He's darkwraith, but with a cloaking ring.

So, yeah, basically he'd annihilate anyone, and no one can damage him. He's #2 on the book of the guilty, which makes his cheating/stats very very very obvious too.

Well, personally I've playede the game offline, just to avoid this kind of situations...
Aside of this,I think that if people do a reasonable way of modding nothing will happen...
For example, if you mod only souls with 999999 and 99 of humanity, I think it is difficoult for other to detect you... But if you mod stats, hp and stamina to 65535, first of all you are a dumbass, with your brain up in the ass, and second it is really simple that they will make you pay... And, personally, I agree with them...
Modding is for clever people... Otherwise it is like giving a nuke bomb to a child... And it is normal that eventually he will blow it...

if you play offline it shouldnt matter what you do...how ever the D/A that modded his char like that only to run around n kill other players sucks and makes things shitty for the rest of us who dont do it and what not

GLad I only modded 100k souls and nothing else.

Fucking typical of someone though doing something like that online. Way to ruin it for everyone else asshole.

Are people still having trouble with corrupted save files because i sure as hell am...even if I inject it to a new save file I play for a couple hours, save my game and BAM, can't load the file again. I dunno how these guys are getting away with editing their stats like that and not having a corrupted save....this is such bullshit, all I did was edit my souls and I can't even play the game without it randomly corrupting on me.

99999 Stamina and HP. Seriously???
That sticks out like a sore thumb. If your gonna mod, make sure to do it with in the games cap and not beyond.
Something tells me this dude is gonna get banned from the game. NOT from Xbox Live but from he game itself or maybe hell get a stat reset.

So far so good on my side of things and i hope they stay that way. I used to have the save game load error as well. BUT its been working fine since i stopped using Horizon.
OHH and i use the, if you die make sure to pick up your souls BUT if you die twice. Kill someone get more souls then let them kill you, respawn and pick those souls up method before re hexing that game save.

Make sure you are quitting the game properly, not straight out dashboarding it. Start> Options> Quit Game, otherwise you can end up with a corrupt save since this game autosaves after every little thing

Well, when you're going up against a guy that's within 10 levels of you, it's understandable that they'd be a little frustrated if they met an opponent with a frankly absurd amount of health and an essentially unlimited pool of stamina. I do have to agree that they're being incredibly childish themselves however.

It wouldn't really be GameFAQs if they acted any other way though. Oh well

Yeah, that's true. I guess we can still go online as long as we mod within reason and within the game's limits and in-game max stat limits and no further than that.

Game can still be a little hard when it comes to certain enemies and bosses, though, even with 99 max stats.


Man I'm glad I read this post, thanks Rev.

You're welcome.

Believe I'm down with modding game...when the game is absolutely single player only, that way you don't get bad rep,file complain and hateful messages.

Brings me back to the days of Torchlight, in which I cleared legit but for some reason I started a new game being first rank with 0 points. Lord the amount of messages and friends' request I got. ok ok not legit but some games are broken when it comes to leaderboard.

There is always a risk of being banned when using saves or editors. Like Cyber, i try to exclude all of the features that would damage the online side of things. It's not nice. If you are abusing these tools and using online, then shame on you. I hope the "hammerzamabanzorra" strikes you down, and when it happens. Don't come to these forums or anywhere else for that matter to bitch about it. Know that you sealed your fate and accepted you would get banned.

Personally, I don't see the point in online mods. I don't enjoy ruining the experience for other people. This is one of the reasons I play a LOT of single player games, too, though. Everytime I play a game like Call of Duty, I can clearly see people playing with mods, and it just annoys the hell out of me.

Ive been just using for offline. I don't even mod that much, just some to offset the fact that I'm probably bad at the game.

I added 99 stam so I could get the max legal endurance and a few souls to buy Heal. Lately I have been adding upgrade shards because I'm way too lazy to go farm them up.

just don't go around invading people with characters with max stats and at around lvl 20. just make an online and offline player.

yeah there are a crap load who abuse it but really we shouldn't be worry...i mean there are smart people who uses hex workshop before the editor was made or still uses it even now to mod their stats...also there is the dragon head glitch to get you max souls which can make you have max level...mods have been here for a few years on xbox360 so chill everyone...

I knew this was going to happen. The first day Dark Souls was on we posted on the forums it was hacked so Its not really big news But for him to put himself on the leader boards is foolish.:zzzbleu:

yup im getting invaded by more and more hex modders. too bad theres no way to make a noob play good... they just relentlessly attack with their ridiculous stamina... anyways 2 Hex Invaders down and only 65533 more Hex phantoms to Vanquish >=). Im not hating on the mods at all just the people that it does NOT help when it comes to pvp.. its just like fighting a helpless boss if you know what you are doing so almost infinite health does NOT help when you get Wrath of the Gods blown off a cliff or when i even the odds with my summoned friend :).. keep an eye out because we are coming for you.
