[Add-on Request]: Miat's PvP Pump-fake

Solariken · August 2017

Hey guys, I'm tossing this out as an open request - it would be SO AWESOME to have a hard counter to "Miat's PvP Alerts" -

If it's possible, all it would need to do is constantly send fake alerts to your target such that Miat's addon will be constantly alerting its users, leaving them unable to discern which alerts are real and letting them burn their stamina needlessly.

Anybody up to the task? How about you @Dorrino? Is it time to tame the beast you created?

You can't fake a notification like that, it's a reporting and u.i. Interaction scripting language.

If you could reliably fool the app into thinking you were sending that many attacks, you would literally be doing it and miat would just report it.

zenimax, please fix this problem that people use these type of methods to cheat in pvp.

It may be possible to create an add-on that determines if a user is dodging attacks consistently higher than other people though.

You could use something that logs combat with milliseconds, dump that data to a file and then trend graph compare the data to see if there are specific points where people are outside the normal trends.

This would be a guess of course, it you would be able to identify either ridiculously good players or players being informed about attacks from API.

But why would you want to zerg even harder, my man?

10v1 is not strong enough?:)

On the subject, you can't produce fake EVENT_COMBAT_EVENTs. This is outside of the scope of lua on the client.

I'm sorry about that, and check out my new 3d compass:) It's awesome!

Zerg harder? Wut? Why say something so irrelevant?

Your add-on makes main-hand bow builds nearly obsolete, which is extra sad because it's already a combat underdog even without the "help" of your add-on.

'Main-hand bow builds' were never effective outside of xv1 and ganking.

In any case the answer to your question is - unfortunately not possible to do.

Nope, the compass was the first thing I've disabled.

Looked in ESOUI, could not find any "3D compass". Could you leave a link so I could look at it.

@Easily_Lost

It's a part of my pvpalerts. Works only in cyrodiil.

Unless it was implemented in one of the popular add ons or in Miat's itself, who is going to download it

Go werewolf, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony, howl of agony. Profit.

Just ban this ***** addon ZOS, for gods sake! There shouldn't be a counter needed for obvious cheating.
