Rofl; I can't just help laughing at all the people crying about how the game is now doomed and will die now cause some cheat program that will probably be fixed within a week just popped up. The game didn't die when blinkxy was running around cheating it up; and that guy was around forever.
Probably because the FPS games doesn't have to deal with 10FPS, 999+ ping, a constantly degrading quality of PvP and with that a degrading playerbase number.Rofl; I can't just help laughing at all the people crying about how the game is now doomed and will die now cause some cheat program that will probably be fixed within a week just popped up.

People who doom the game for this obviously has not played FPS games where hacks are even more common and there are multiple detection and ban countermeasures in place and people still do it and also many people still play them never the less.

Edit: Also the issues with gap closers better be fixed before the patch goes live to. Delay the patch if you have to.
We cancelled raid tonight because of this. I solo'd on my v2 just to have some fun, and after not encountering any of this and a few guildies wanting to join, we started a small group. Ended up running with friends and getting a large group going, and I'll say this, not one of the enemy groups we fought did this BS, so THANK YOU. Regardless of whether we dislike each other or not, regardless of group size and the usual petty crap, we had only one instance of a single person spamming meteor early on in the night and it was during a fight that would have been a wipe for us even without that.
I was pretty disheartened watching this thread all day long, but to the few guilds on TF left playing, thanks for restoring at least a little faith in the pvp community.
The past exists only in our memories, the future only in our plans. The present is our only reality. The tree that you are aware of intellectually, because of that small time lag, is always in the past and therefore is always unreal. Any intellectually conceived object is always in the past and therefore unreal. Reality is always the moment of vision before the intellectualization takes place. There is no other reality. - Robert M. Pirsig

Good luck collecting video proof from people who are using this tool to hack in a smarter, less visible way. Even more good luck trying to get proof of people using this tool to farm their vMSA loot.ManwithBeard9 wrote: »

This makes me sick, an EP kid who was already permabanned for hacking/exploiting and bought the game again did this to me 2 months ago. I should have reported him then.

Everyone knows he wasn't permabanned for hacking OR exploiting. It was a silly reason and everyone remembers. Who are you trying to fool?

Jessica. I know its standard procedure for ZOS in these situations to go dark regarding results of actions against players, but in this case, because your game is currently vulnerable to an easily configured and readily available third party program...
You need to make a statement to the community, stickied and visible to all, that anyone using this is going to be permabanned, and put some fear into the hearts of the people who will see a slap on the wrist behind closed doors response, and say "hey i can get away with it"
You gotta do this, because its already spreading like wildfire in Cyrodiil, and examples need to be made to curb it until your engineering/programming team can secure the client vs the hack itself.
Course, one of the guys using it is in YOUR guild no?
Not anymore.
Good thing DR took a stand against this. Much respect for that.
Yeah we had to wait for the council to log in so the kick was later than Id like, but we just did it about 10 mins ago. Sad day, I love the guy, but this is over the top and we dont tolerate cheating.

This program is able to do more than just spamable meteors. And it's not only used since its latest patch. Ppl use small speed hacks since ages. You can boost your regen. I doubt you can evidence this in a vid.
Ppl will continue to use it. Detect the tool in the background from your side. There is no other way.
I've heard it's been used to increase everything, the smart cheats don't go too far....
It can probably explain the dodging... the super fast wrecking blow spam and a 100 more things that have been attributed to skill or l2p or "I r gud animation canceller".

That's the sad thing about all this.
They're going to ban the few people doing meteor showers in cyro, but anyone using these in a more subtle fashion will get away with it.
People can use things like +10% speedhack (and it's not just running speed, it also speeds up global cooldown etc.) to give themselves a slight edge and nobody will even notice.
Or solo group PVE content, and because there's nobody to take a video of you, you don't even have to be subtle about it.
This game needs a client-side detection system implemented like VAC, GameGuard, etc.
Banning the few individuals who actually brought this problem to people's attention is just a publicity stunt that isn't going to solve anything at all.

And....we still need to have faith that the majority of gamers are honest. I understand your feelings, but every sport has cheaters and not all of them get caught. But do we quit playing or enjoying the sport?

We introduce mandatory drug tests during major events
Or in this case, client-side anticheat software.
