Max Speed Exploit

Ezareth

There is a Templar player on DC in Thornblade who has found a way to replicate and is exploiting the max speed bug. I've had this bug once before in PVP, in the middle of fighting I suddenly got max speed. I've had a teammate (who is a templar) have it happen to him twice in a row while sieging a keep. Every time you die you lose the speed, yet I kill this player constantly and she always moves at max speed.

I've reported the player in game to no avail (as with every other exploiter I see). Maybe someone from Zenimax will take a look at this video and do something. If you can't fix a bug fine, at very least ban the players who are exploiting these bugs. It is getting to where I can't PVP anywhere in cyrodiil without being chased around by people abusing exploits.

lol @ that knob trying to outrun a bolt sorc. only with an exploit could they do that.

be prepared for the following:

1) the video will be deleted due to their naming and shaming policy

2) enjoy watching the person in question exploit to his hearts content

3) you will get a polite msg from the forum devs informing you that you have broken their terms of service and please don't do it again in the future

4) you will also be informed that 'if you feel a player is abusing a game mechanic, please report them using the report player feature', despite you having done so numerous times and the person still runs around which led to yopu posting here in the forums in the first place

5) welcome to Groundhog Day

Unfortunately your right. Wish ZOS would do something about these people purposely exploiting. Then people wouldn't feel they need to post these videos in order to get something done about it.

I can see the "bitting Jabs" lock is still working (0:56). I counted 8 successive biting jabs with no way out. We got a "pro exploiter" here. At least his were not hitting for over 800 damage each.

Cody

good lord can this Templar do SOMETHING besides blazing shield and biting jab spam? its bad enough she is doing a speed hack. The very least she could do is show SOME degree of skill

Cody

that is the worst Templar I have ever seen. i myself expect more from a Veteran tank 11 player than endless spamming of one ability. combine it with that speed exploit she was doing...... just....... wow.

Only skills on his bar probably.

Ezareth

Yeah the player in question is complete garbage. The only thing he is good at is exploiting, this seems to be the case of most exploiters thankfully. I really have no respect for any player I've seen exploiting, even the caltrops abusers.

Bolt Escape + shield mechanics gameplay. how fun.

why r u spamming mage's fury?

you might also notice that ez had no stamina to break/dodge... he wasn't locked in cc, he was out of resources.

You forgot the GM telling the person reporting the issue that the player in question is "just a very skilled player."

Because it costs next to nothing, is decent damage and has a chance to proc crystal fragments, disintegration, and execute when less than 20% health.

Exactly. As evidenced by that annoying "out of stamina" sound. Thankfully (I think) this sound is getting replaced next patch. Hopefully it is less jarring.

It was funny in the video the player spammed that until he was OOM though haha.

Well the dirtbag kept chasing me back to the keep every time I tried to leave it so I gave him a taste of his own medicine.

He was doing this again today several times and I kept killing him. Finally he brought his garbage train with him and while he kept knocking me down they were able to catch up to me and kill me. If I saw someone with speed hack chasing someone down I'd not follow them and I'd hope whoever they were chasing turned and killed them. The same of anyone I see exploiting, I want nothing to do with them. Something about the mindset of cheaters just really irks me. They are like the scum of the earth.

Watched the video. I actually tested a whole bunch of stuff for ZoS and gave them a full report, so I'm familiar with exactly what he's using here.

It's not a bug or exploit, this is a straight up hack that this game is susceptible too. I figured ZoS would've fixed it by now, since I linked them the exact download link to the hack...

Anyways, you can tell by his attack animation speeds if he's using a hack or if he got the max speed bug/exploit. Also I'm fairly certain zenimax was successful in fixing the max speed bug/exploit, because it used to happen all the time, but I have not had one member get it since one of the patches that claimed to fix it.

This guy deserves to be banned. He's using a third party hack. ZoS please fix this before I get fed up and just share publicly the name of the hack and ruin the game..

Edit: or at least ban the people using it, since I know the code changes to fix it would require you to rearrange how all your location data is stored and transmitted and that would require a *** ton of code refactoring. Third party hacks are against your ToS, I've read them, it's explicitly stated. Ban this guy.

On that note everyone should report this guy in game.

Ya when I got speed bugged I could run across the map in no time at all, so this is def diff.

He was out of stamina for the first biting jabs. After which it is impossible to block or move out of the way and so he was locked in for 7 more successive biting jabs. Notice he had plenty of stamina after the first hit but did nothing but eat 7 more biting jabs. He didn't try blocking or even attacking either and there is a reason for that.

on a side note, i really don't understand why sorcerers repeatably cast mages fury for most of a battle. iv used it, the damage is not as much as an actual weapon, and you could save that magicka for better abilities. Aside from the insta-shard chance I don't know why sorcerers do it

You'd have to play a sorc to understand. I'm light attack weaving typically between Mage's fury so there's no real gains there and it ups my dps versus going pure light/heavy attacks. 35% chance to proc fragments, keeping the execute debuff applied, and a chance on every hit to disintegrate your opponent (when low health) is huge. I keep velocious curse up most of the time but you can't spam it, and actually casting crystal fragments in the vast majority of situations is terrible (and absurdly expensive).

There is also the irritate/annoy factor of mage's wrath spam that often forces your opponent to overreact.

Better abilities like what?

Destro abilities are mostly terrible and easily countered, and you need to have mages wrath on your bar for the execute which makes it one of the most powerful sorc abilities. I'd love to be able to put some other magicka cost spell damage abilities on my bars but there really isn't any room.

I've not changed up my damage rotation in 4 months and there is a reason for that.

There are cheats and bugs everywhere. It's ironic that the person making this video is using a bug to huge advantage as well. Aside from the ludicrous notion of shield stacking the meat&potatoes of a bubblespam build is harness which, currently, does not do what the tooltip describes. It returns magicka on all damage.

Find me a build that isn't exploiting bugs and I'll show you a build that's gimped by them. It's nigh on impossible to make a clean build.

Sure, there's a difference between using a build that exploits bugs/mechanics (especially accidentally) and triggering a bug like maxspeed. But how much practically? The game is riddled with bugs and unintended effects. It's a mess and they just don't care. Give up. They have.

zScars

you use ball of lightning lel

Cody

I do play a sorc, but mines uses 2H, not a staff. so idk how you would do it with a staff.

What the hell are you talking about? Harness magicka doesn't return magicka for physical damage attacks. I don't use any "bugs" to my advantage.

Yes barring a hybrid build a pure casters has no better options than Mage's wrath for base damage. It's actually pretty stable range DPS that I can spam constantly without running OOM.

Someone using multiple damage shields is in no way an exploit, in fact, I'd go on to say that it's working as intended. It's like saying using more than one healing ability is some sort of exploit/bug.

Some sorcerers use damage shields because they can't heal themselves very well in pvp.

Bolt escape ignores immoveable. Sometimes it ignores block even.Until they fix that you are in the same corner with us CC stun folks.

Stack em up, stand in caltrops and tell me it doesn't return magicka on physical damage. It's bugged.
