問題の詳細/Issue Details
Currently, it is possible for players to receive rewards in a group hunt without endangering themselves by:
- Enter a group hunt with other players.
- At the start of the hunt, once the countdown timer is visible and player can take action, lock the phone/turn off the screen.
- During the hunt, this player who locked their screen will be present in the hunt, and the monster may attack the player, but the player will never receive any damage.
- Wait for 75s for the hunt to end, then unlock the device and check the game app.
- If the hunt was successful (due to other hunters in the group taking down the monster), the player who locked the screen can still receive the hunt rewards. If the hunt was unsuccessful, the player simply received no rewards. But the problem is that the player has an easy way to leech from the other players without even endangering themselves and yet still can receive rewards. This is distinctly different from a player who got disconnected due to poor network conditions, who stands to lose the expendable items consumed in the process of the hunt and the potential rewards.
Expected:
- When the game app is not running in the foreground, it should be considered to be in the same situation as having disconnected from the server, and should be treated as a case of disconnection, just like it’s the case for players who encountered poor communications with the server during the hunt. These players should then be disconnected and booted from the hunt and be given the message as if they had lost connection with the server when they return to the game app at the end of the hunt.
- To further deter such behaviour/exploits, I would even go as far as to ask for the game to immediately disconnect from the hunt as soon as the app is no longer running in the foreground, either by switching out to other apps or by locking the phone/turning off the screen.
その他の情報/Other Information
There’s no workaround for this. This exploit can be performed on both the Android and iOS versions of the game, and can be seen regularly in DL hunts, HAT hunts, and even EDI hunts.
