Server or cheat?

Kel

Just came across this.....thing. Don't know exactly what to call this, as I've never seen this before.
Players were blinking in and out. Not a nightblade, but one or two DK's and a sorc...couldn't touch or target them but for the briefest moment.
If this is server, I'm really hoping a fix comes down soon. With Midyear Mayhem just around the corner, this kind of stuff will only get worse. The servers are already full of unbelievable lag and freezes...Midyear Mayhem is going to be a nightmare of epic proportions.

likely the undo psjic skill

Def not Undo. Undo would not allow them to pop in and out of visibility over and over. Odd, Ive not seen this either. You where not the only one having trouble seeing them, thats obv from the reactions of the other players. I would report this in game if you can.

LegendaryMage

What the hell is going on with this game, it just keeps getting worse & worse.

Raraaku

Based on the body count and the coordination of the movements/execution of the... I don't know what to call it, teleportation? I would definitely say it's intentional what ever it was. I'd send a copy to ZOS for them to take a look at immediately.

I saw this happen to us just earlier. We were attacking Arrius when half the players there DCed en mass. Right after that one of the enemy players was attacking us all while completely invisible and untouchable, popping in and out for barely a glimpse. He only became visible when trying to rez a buddy, when we all bombed him.

So, server issues?

Looks like a lag switcher lol

Raraaku

Don't want to name people but you can get the name of one of them at 00:26 mark. Even watching it at .25 speed the flickers are just insanely fast and you can clearly see the skills being executed while they're in that state of invisibility

All of you who are experiencing this...are you all on PS4?

Yes, this was ps4.

KittyHazWares

Think it’s just lag. My group memebers will disappear and teleport. Not their doing.

Vizier

Never seen that before... ever. Very strange. Love to see what ZoS has to say about that.

Vapirko

Midyear mayhem is going to be an absolute disaster this year. Maybe the servers will finally crash for good and ZOS will either have to actually do something about it or finally admit they don’t care about PvP.

Pink_Violinz

Looks like lag. I'm on PS4 as well right now and we're all freezing and jumping across the map. Considering how much of a pain it is to hack or cheat on the consoles, it's probably the game itself just bugging tf out

Yolokin_Swagonborn

WOW. Everyone's a nightblade now. And that lag looks maddening. I think its time to take a deep look at why anyone who loves PvP gives this game any time anymore.

Its simply disgusting how we are treated. But with so much forum censorship it's really hard to get a movement going to force ZOS to address the PvP community formally instead of just zoning us out.

Argruna

I've....I've actually seen that before. I don't pvp but I tend to lurk just to see how pvp changes will affect my pve build and ESO had something like that happen with Meteor spam. Like they could just cast it over and over and over again with no pause. This looks just like that but instead of Meteor, they are spamming Undo.

DanteYoda

More customers join... more hacks made.. more customers cheat.. Its online gaming in a nut shell, its a main reason i gave up on pvp games..

Yes it could be server issues but usually the most basic answer is the most accurate..

The BG was like that the entire match. Both teams.

Was also just this moment in a BG on my DK, ballin' out 25K-5D with 20 points left before the game ends, TV goes black, kicks me to the dashboard. I'm done for the night. So sick of this ***.

Prabooo

this happened to me recently in Cyrodiil… the guy was a nb, wearing sloads… weird thing is he had perma invis and not even AoE's could take him out of stealth

technohic

I was seeing this a bit tonight. Even with summoned pets. Something is just up with the serversI think. Had a lot of audio queues that I would drink a potion for example, but it never gets consumed. Abilities not firing for 2 seconds. TBH I think things got worse this last patch.

EDIT: OPs video is a lot worse than I saw on PC. Thats ridiculous

Troneon

They should just cancel all PVP events until they fix servers/performance/bugs/cheats/exploits/pvp etc...

It would be a lot less damaging to ESO/ZOS doing that then having a pvp event with it's current state....

Osteos

I would message Gina and Jessica and include the video.

Yeah, even if it is, those guys certainly seem to be making the most of it.

I'd say Server. I've never seen hackers, or at least blatant hackers on Console. It looked to me like the game just refused to render the player, which meant none of us could target him but they could still target us.

geophonic_ESO

This is happening on PC (EU) too, but it is, in my experience, not hacking. Actually the same thing also happens in any non-PvP environment that player chars fade in and out. Just go sit at any wayshrine with lots of traffic and you will see it.
I might try to get a video on this.

Lord_Eomer

looks fishy, ZOS might need to check this.

StackonClown

is lag switcher a thing on PS4 ?

Fischblut

I haven't been to Cyrodiil since update, except for some quick treasure map collecting. But I saw something similar in PvE a week ago... I was waiting for BG queue inside building, and suddenly saw how other player's character appeared and started teleporting from one container to other (supposedly looting them). The character's body didn't show any movement (as if he was actually running) - he was just standing still, appearing near container for a moment, then disappearing, and after a moment appearing at next container Then he noticed I watch him, stopped doing it and stayed at one place, and started talking to me about some random things. I told him I saw him teleporting and said this was probably lag. This was weird...

In pvp I also remember during first double AP test we had widespread bug with invisible players, both enemies and allies - but those were completely invisible all the time, only effects which they cast were visible. And the video from original post looks similar to that old bug, except those players look like Nightcrawler clones teleporting and appearing to strike enemy or break free, looks cool but also really weird I'm looking forward to double AP, but not looking forward to encounter such things

Berenhir

The same thing is happening on PC EU whenever it gets unplayable (so from 7 to 11pm on Vivec).

Arunei

That's not a hack or a cheat, it's been happening for at the very least a few weeks now. I'm on PC and I see this all the time. Not sure what causes it, I would assume some sort of lag or something.
