The excitement surrounding Fire Emblem Heroes - Nintendo's most recent foray into the world of smartphone gaming - may have died down a little since launch, but plenty of people are still playing it - although some of them don't seem to be following the rules.
Nintendo has issued a statement via the game's notification system which reads:
Thank you for playing Fire Emblem Heroes.
Since the release of the game, we've detected improper use from some players. Countermeasures are being employed to address this, including temporarily limiting access to certain features.
Players who are subject tot these countermeasures will receive a notification in the "To you" section of the game's notifications.
We asks all our players to abide by the User Agreement, including the Code of Conduct, as they continue to enjoy Fire Emblem Heroes.
What could Nintendo possibly mean by this? Have you encountered any issues with other players breaking rules in the game? What do you think Nintendo's warning relates to? Let us know with a comment.

Lol I guess it's people hacking the game some way or another.
This is why we can't have nice things
@liljmoore
Yup.
When I saw the title all I thought was:
Camilla xD
They just need to add more variety to the game. I'm down to playing it 1 time day. I just do 1 training for the shards, and the 3 arena quests. I don't care about grinding so I can beat the other difficulty modes. Game needs to add more elements.
From what I've seen, there seem to be a number of hacks to get unlimited orbs. I frequently see links to these whenever visiting a FEH related article or YouTube video. Plenty of other posts responding with "thanks", so I imagine these are working for some people.
It'll be interesting to see what the actual countermeasures will be. I imagine it'll be more than a friendly message requesting users to stop.
@XCWarrior Agreed
Curious, I wonder if it is some way to grab more 5 Star characters somehow?
lol, I think my username might be part of what they're talking about...
@Reignmaker I'm curious about this claim, there are a lot of spammers stating infinite Gems in YGO Duel Links giving themselves "thanks"... but everyone one of the sites etc. they post are pfishing scams. Is it not the same with every game with a currency?
Why is it so hard for people to be decent? Sigh. Where is a global extinction event when you need one?
Does the game have a chatroom? If yes, I'm not surprised by it. Kids and scammers do it all the time in other similar mobile games, except Nintendo does something about it.
I was tempted by unlimited orbs but thought better of it. Trying to earn the orbs is what keeps this game interesting, been playing since day one with only two five stars to my name but haven't had to spend a penny. If I used other methods for summoning heroes and levelling them up it would be dull as dishwater so I'm glad I didn't.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that every man and his dog seems to have a ton of 5-star characters, except me who only has two.
Find it strange they'd announce it in this way, rather than just dropping the banhammer.
It's a game... it's supposed to be a bit of fun.. cheaters just destroy the enjoyment for themselves. Pointless!
As difficult as "beginner" is in arena, it wouldn't suprise me if some losers are cheating.
I wonder if those "naughty things" are that so many people are busy playing BOTW to even care that any other games exist?
I know what the issue is. There are people out there with Takumi's level 40+10 amongst other characters with levels that are unattainable unless cheating. I am disappointed they are "limiting feathers" to cheaters & that's it. It does not stop anyone from cheating and they still have those characters they cheated to level up. Does not make sense. Very disappointing.
Probably just some hacks to get extra orbs... I was hoping naughty meant something else, although some of the low health character images can be quite ranchy.
What could this possibly mean? Unlimited orbs? Unlimited Five-Star Heroes?.........unlimited Kagero's and Camila's?
@Raptor78
I dunno what's the fun in everything to me right now kind of playing?
Yes.. when I was 10 and played first DOOM, of course codes to get all keys and weapons were used because I was afraid of the creatures XD But now as older I do enjoy the playing itself and not just everything handed to me.
But ya.. my guess is also some naughty levelling up or unlimited orbs or other s...tuff.
@DanteSolablood Honestly, I have no idea. Tough to validate unless you're personally willing to try it, which I'm not.
One of them must be the characters hack. Pretty much when you battling in the Arena, you can see some people using characters that is impossible to get without cheating like a level 40+10 Alfonse or like Srabbit said Takumi 40+10, sometimes more than one.
I know it's only natural for a game to be hacked by people, it's one of the reason why games like this have to be "always" online. I just hate it when it ruins other people's fun and the user of the hack justifies their actions like the creators of the game is the bad guy.
40+10 for Takumi!? Wow.. he's overpowered enough as is. I have mine I was fortunate enough to get grinded up to 40 but I can't imagine 40+10. I use him to level up my 20 somethings higher once they get to that point. If they get in trouble, he rushes in to save the day. LOL
Now that the switch (and Zelda) are here, I've probably played my last serious games with it. I didn't even touch it over the weekend. I got a good few weeks out of it though but they are releasing Mario Run at a really weird time... for android at least. Switch is going to drowned out the mobile games.
I think it might mean sandbaggers who abuse the player matching system by having a level 1 character.
@liljmoore I was thinking the same thing.
@Reignmaker What's the point in hacking for unlimited orbs? You can easily get them by farming different difficulties of levels, and there's not a lot of point in summoning heroes in large amounts since 5* ones aren't that rare. I'm currently sitting on about 80 orbs because I can't be bothered to summon.
@David_Dudeney That's more than me. I've only drawn two 5* heroes. I agree the game is generous with orbs though. Some people are impatient though and don't want to grind, though it's kind of the point.
Well they don't allow rooted phone to play the game anyway. Even if you rooted and unrooted you still can't play it. :I
@Reignmaker I also have only drawn two 5* ones, but comparing the number I've done and cost of summons to similar games, that's a lot
Doesn't surprise me lol
Funny enough, I came across a player that had 2 5-star Lyns in the battle arena. Unfortunately for them, I had a 5-star Olwen and a 5-star Reinhardt, that were both summoned legitimately.
@XCWarrior
Nailed in 1. There is nothing to do, unless you are a competitive player(which is usually a quest in futility for a pay to win game) or a collector (and being new to the series, so far I know 1 of 3 characters I have even gotten)
I know ninty is all about the monies for investors, but I would rather have a $10 game that I can play rather than a few to play. And no I don't count super Mario, it's a runner. 10 for a real Mario game would have sold, 10 for a runner, albeit well produced, isn't going to fly.
If ninty want to get in the mobile market,sell actual games. There are thousands of free to play games already, they won't beat out those games to the average phone gamer anyway.
It's funny, I've been playing BOTW nonstop since Friday. FE Heroes is the only other game I've played in that span and that's just because it's easily accessible on my phone. If I'm out and can't play Zelda (WiiU) then FE's right there.
How come all the colours on this page are purple and not red?
Nintendo will ceased future game launches on Android.
@Fandabidozi Because it's in the Fire Emblem section of the site.
@Fandabidozi Maybe because it is a mobile game?
Are they talking about the uninstall reroll trick? You'd think they'd just make an app that prevents that exploit rather than complain at gamers for breaking their system ever so slightly.
Have you encountered any issues with other players breaking rules in the game?
It's not actually possible to interact with other players other than fighting against their AI teams in the Arena though.
If I had to harbor a guess it's probably people modifying their game data to give themselves free resources like Orbs. They made FE: Heroes require being online to play even though the entire game is played offline except for fighting random AI teams from other players, which you can only do 3 times a day anyway.
