Bug with influence? S22 Contest related

On our server we’ve seen someone jump overnight to take the #1 slot in our server coop contest. Not just anyone. And not by a small margin. The player in question is a level 47 account and her points are impossibly high. Could there be a bug with influence somewhere?

If you try to calculate back how to get to 1.3M points, with our scoring, it’s literally impossible to get there. It’s 900 points per city watch. Couple thousand per surge if you clear every area with a single hero. And at 47 heists aren’t unlocked even. Stamina gives influence but at that number they wouldn’t be level 47 anymore. We’ve had only 10 guild contests that hand out trophies and she’s never been in a top 3 finish.

So, I’m posting here. There has to be a bug somewhere.

Ps. I didn’t blur the name because everyone can just come to our server and check it out. Public knowledge at this point.

Anything else it could be that I’m missing?

That must be a hack

Yeah smells a bit fishy also 223 day player age and only level 47 not even a active member of the game

If it is not a bug its a hack for sure…

It does seem highly suspicious and there is definite reason for concern. However the forums is not the place to have something done about said player in question.

I would suggest taking the screenshot and information you have put here and make a support ticket with it. It might be one thing if they mass spammed heists but as you pointed out heists don’t open until lvl 50 iirc.

If in the case that it isn’t a hack it might be a case of one player getting credit for all influence earned by their guild but that seems unlikely at this point.

@Polaris any update regarding this? It would be too unfair if it does not get solved before contest end

They only had 4 members (now 3) in their guild, so it can’t be the all guild earned influence theory…

They were in a guild of 1 when they got the points, now its about 4 people

I will review the logs, but if I had to guess, someone has been playing a long time and accumulated a lot of guild influence trophies - that may explain the high point value.

@Polaris this is server 22. Been out for about 9 months. There have been 10 guild contests with Trophies. There aren’t enough for this score.

Thanks for looking at it though :slight_smile:
