Macro using and cheating seems allowed by ZOS?

The macros are cheating as they even have it set up for perfectly timed animation cancelling which is a feature that ESO should NOT have.

Maybe it was an accident in the beginning, but they have already said it's a legit technique and have no problem with people using it, so I disagree with your statement.

Unless you are part of the weak, protected RP population, ZOS will not intervene in-game. You can hack and exploit as much as you want in pvp as long as you dont hurt the fragile sensibilities of the RP community. To bad they don't set foot in cyrodiil anyway.

the best cheaters in ESO are emperors.. their excuse? that they are emperors.. what a joke.

You do understand that even with macro executing 7 actions under one second is just not possible because game doesn't allow such combination. Or what skill can be spammed without any cooldowns or casts?

then you probably never cross the players who do this.

i shows like this - Marked - Poff bam splat - dead ( not even a second ) when you look who and what did the dmg.. its a single guy who did 5 attacks under a second.

Because the fact you can Animation cancel you can hit a lot more manually but with macro you can hit a hell lot more.

i should not comment this if i were you, if you don't understand how it works.

NONSENSE.

Anyy player with or without macros has a limit of actions that can NOT BE SURPASSED. And you have literally no clue about how animation cancelling works. And I will be animationcancelling perfectly. Do I need macros for that? NO, I don't. And anybody who does need macros for that is just bad at the game and will be bad at the game even with his macros. None of the top players in this game use macros. NONE.

And also: yes I can oneshot you within 0,1 seconds from stealth, but that works completely different and is not 5 active abilities hitting you in 0,1 seconds because that is and will always be Impossible.

I wouldn't count on seeing macros banned anytime soon.

A. It would be difficult to do. Macros occur outside of the game. They originate either from the device or from a software associated with the device.

B. It is as major feature of gaming mice/keyboards. People would be unhappy if the features of high-end gaming peripherals were banned.

Are you a vampire by any chance? If you are, you need to stack more health as fighters guild passive lets people to more damage to you. Not only that, you have camo hunter and silver shards. With the procs on those you can in fact get 5 or more hits due to procs. I have been called a hacker by some as-well, simply by doing a heavy attack from stealth, killing a vamp in 1 blow.

This is not a macro issue, but more a vampire (even WW when in WW form.) issue. Not only undead are affected by this though, even regular characters, due to the fact camo hunter can still proc, even though it has a lower chance to do so.

It happens to me on console. I'm pretty sure we don't have macros

It usually goes like this,
NB from Stealth,

Dual wield,
Sneak up to person with Camo hunter active,

Heavy attack, Surprize attack, DEAD......

Check recap,

Camo hunter 9k,
Heavy attack 7k
Camo hunter 9k,
Heavy attack(Dualwield) 6 K

LOLZ..... Been killed like this a few times now..

The more i see this the more i think some people are using a lag switch but its so hard to prove I have taken to using similar software to shadowplay to catch them. but even with said software they could claim an unfortunate lag spike. for eg me and me friends all experienced pvpers got hit by the same guy with 3 wrecking blows in less time then the gcd would allow for 2 and with no visible animation this happened to 4 people on 2 separate occasions.

1-2 months ago i written same thing in forums about getting 8 hits instantly. People told me l2p and they said its not possible... (i would insult those people very harshly in real but i dont want my msgs removed) and few days ago i was standing still middle of nowhere in cyordiil texting to my friend and a NB 1 shot me i got 24k hp so i thought he hit 24k +with surprise attack i opened death recap and i saw 5 light attack and 1 surprise attack...

But its not my concern anymore cuz i stopped playing this game. Cuz i cant learn to play. I guess this game for people with extreme IQ levels.

And its not the only reason i stopped playing there is lag issues and pvp imbalance.

-Macros aren't forbidden in the game, using scripts to create bots or lag spiking is.

i've seen Wallhacking -
A sorc was going through the wall and AE spam then Enter again.

If that's true and the Sorcerer did get somewhere he shouldn't have been able to get to then it is illegal.

Abusing scroll -
They don't even take the demanded keep before taking the Scroll behind the wall's.
Abusing some sort of death resurrect maneuver.

You don't need to take the keep to grab the scroll, all the players have to do is breech the walls and grab the scroll. If some sneaked behind enemy lines after the keep was retaken they could still take. The keep is there to prevent players from progressing into the area.

Heres what I do:

From stealth, charge heavy bow, animation cancel to weapon swap, ambush, soul harvest and surpr attack. All this can be done within 1 second if you animation cancel it. I get cheataccuse mails and whispers everyday from "fail2l2p ppl"

Kryank

On my NB I get accused of macro cheating all the time when I one shot a vamp, I use camo hunter animation cancel a heavy attack with silver shards(fighters guild skill) then fire another silver shards. The first 2 attacks land instantly and both proc cameo hunter followed by the 2nd silver shard. That will show as 5 attacks on death recap due to procs. I dont block cancel because I'm rubbish at it.

I take time to set my burst up and it will 1 shot most vamps. Understand mechanics before you scream macro or cheater. This kind of attitude is toxic to the game.

Have you ever wondered why nothing is done when you report everyone who does this?

It's because Zos knows this is legitimate gameplay and easily possible.

If you choose to be vamp be careful in the open or I will find you :-)

Zos have meant to have fixed the multiple camp hunter prod in the last patch so this may help you a little.

It's not their game. They already fired those people who created this game.
