Thoroughly and utterly disappointed with ESO response to hackers/cheaters in the PvP environment

    Correction, the evidence starts at 8:20

    At this timestamp I see seven guys push in to transitus vs four AD defenders. One of whom is the emperor.

    Meanwhile the templar in the group (i assume you) is exploiting the healing ultimate bug by casting it repeatedly in sequence.

    Id also note that as healer youre out of the range of most of your allies, and they are not getting healed, while taking multiple inevitable dets, NPC attacks, and what looks like overloads (or shock staff light attacks, hard to see in this resolution) to the face.

    You literally need to learn to play healer for one thing. For another you pretty much screwed up the moment you went left into the guards, especially with what looks to me like a sorc emperor standing right behind the breach detting all of you.

    There is no hacking or cheating in this video, its a pure case of you really sucking at this game and trying to find an excuse for your ineptitude. Sorry to be so blunt but I am sick of people calling out others for doing nothing wrong. My group would have wiped you too, possibly even faster since most of those guys are low alliance ranks without all of the passives. Consider it a stroke of good fortune youre not on PC.

    Edit to add - No offensive siege like a meatbag hitting the breach either. Tut tut. You failed before you started.



    PROTIP - Meatbag the breach, in to the right, up the stairs, establish high ground control, isolate the players, oil the flags, profit. Youll learn, just like the rest of us did.

    The video isn't as long as I expected so I might have only captured and saved on example of people exploiting the bug but it certainly ruined fair and balance game time for HUNDREDS on Azura Star.

    Start watching at about 5:50 for proof

    @theyoungerbrother Could you make it simple for me too what exactly is the proof of cheating? Also @Rylana he isn´t spamming the templar ultimate but Healing Ritual skill (I hope I got it right now). The visuals have some similarities. Otherwise, I agree that this looked like AD player/s dominated the fight although npcs were of help. Silly to start name and shaming with this little proof.

    Edit. So Inevitable Explosion might be the assumed cheat?

    @Dreizopf I fixed that in my post. Thanks.

    ... Also @Rylana he isn´t using the templar ultimate but Honor the dead skill. The visuals have some similarities. ...

    As far as I see he is using the templar skill Healing Ritual or one of the morphs, cause he can move slowly. With using the templar heal ultimate Rite of Passage he wouldn't be able to move and an ultimate can't be spammed like he did.
    (Rushed Ceremony and its morphs Honor the Dead and Breath of Life are instant range casts and have another animation)

    So one faction is hard-working, tactical and honest, and the other faction is a bunch of cheaters and exploiters? Is that what you're saying? Is that how you presented your arguments when you submitted tickets? Cos if so I think I know why you didn't get a response.

    Aside from that though I agree with the notion that we need to feel like pvp is being monitored in some way. Maybe focus more on that as your argument.

    Pretty much this.
    The generalization of both factions -one revered and one demonized- is just seriously laughable.

    Correction practice incantation can be spammed. My highest record was 5 in a row, however this I believe is only a by product of lag since it only occurs when there are a) alot of players on my screen b) skills being spammed (healing springs/spin to win/stack groups/wb spammer/ crit frag spammers) almost ensure if it get within a certain range I get 2 practice incantations in a row.

    Is this a bug? Is this an exploit? Or is this emergent clever gameplay taking advantage of game setting a la animation canceling?

    I really have no clue but I would enjoy a return to 1.2 server stability.

    I always lol when people say that exploiters are "hacking" the game. Does anybody know what "hacking" actually means? Because it isn't what the people being accused of cheating are doing at all.

    Um, it wasn't because he was emperor. He had been hacking bug exploiting along with a few other yellows throughout the days previous and many can attest and will attest with better videos. My plan Is to fill my hard drive with more videos of proof since you are refuting this one.

    This is exactly what you should do because the video you provided just sees you getting destroyed by an emp. Supply videos that actually contain someone exploiting and you might get a bit of back up from the community. Otherwise, your just creating a place for people to laugh at you. No offence intended.

    I'll have to go and upload from my saved videos. Watched a lvl24 char hop (not walk) along his merry way as I was blasting him with everything I had- VR7 NB/Vamp. Never got him below 75% health once.After about 6-7 mins I just stopped trying, he stopped hopping, gave a wave and went hopping along to where ever he was going.
    Combat characteristics working as intended?

    @Hawco10 That's possible if the character you were against was a sustain or healer build. For example my healer Krogmak can withstand alot of damage 1v1, I mitagte alot of dam and heal through the rest. I, however, wont engage in 1v1 unless forced because I know DPS isn't my strong suit (9/10 i loose). Both bars work healing/support so fighting 1v1 or 1v2 is folly.

    If a ganker tries to gank me better believe I'm picking out where I know there's support and it'll be your desicion to break attack or follow.

    Let me start off by saying that I probably log 100+ hours in the Azura Stars Campaign every month. AT LEAST. Let me tell you how terrible I think it is that there is not a dedicated staff member in your company who monitors and enforces policies against hacking and cheating. Let me tell you that Daggerfall Covenant puts in alot of long hours, tactics, and hard work to overcome adversity but all the hard work I put in is undone by a new bug that people on Yellow Team have been using. There have been dozens of tickets made against these infractions and yet there is nothing done to insure the quality of the game is played as intended despite coding flaws that allow for imbalance. I have been a paying customer. I buy crowns, I subscribe, I thoroughly enjoy this game and it boggles my mind that the amount of revenue and time that people play you won't make the gaming board cheat free! How may days should it take to respond to daily infractions that are happening for the past two weeks? Do you care about the quality of game and cheer it brings to people when they get to actually play it the way it's meant to be? Why is there not an easy way to contact an ACTUAL GAME MASTER for immediate observation and repercussions of the people who EXPLOIT CODING FAILURES.
    I've uploaded a video to YouTube, though rather long, will show you the cheaters and what it looks like and how they are maintaining their lead. I kind of expect a credit to be issued to me based on this sloppy handling that isn't just affecting me but the hundreds of players who try to find some reprieve from the real world only to be confronted with exploitative imbalances in the gaming world. So there is no way to reach a live person, tickets have no replies to them in regards to this, so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring a staff member to play each campaign and keep a monitor of people who exploit. This will require a team member who loves the community and wants to insure a positive gaming experience for your product. Please and thank you!

    Just let me tell you, that things happen in all factions, i am in Aldmeri Dominion (the yellow team) and see how just 2 people from blue team killed a 15 man team and please people don't tell me they are super players and know how to play his classes, people with never ending health, stamina or magicka

    Lol what? They aren't hacking. They are well geared, and their heal over times are stronger then your groups damage which makes it look like their health bars aren't moving. They know how to use shields and look like they know how to play. I don't even think it's possible to 'hack' console anyway. There may be a few bugs and exploits like gap closing into a keep but that's about it.

    You didn't watch the video so please remain silent. Thank you

    I watched the video, I really didn't notice anything that looked suspicious.

    The templar was emperor, but honestly the blues in the video really didn't seem particularly good. They stood under oils and meatbags, they stood in the horde of guards while fighting roughly equal numbers of players.

    Find me a video of a guy tanking 8+ people in an open field and killing them over 3+ minutes and I'll be more inclined to believe you.
