Wonder Woman in ESO

Universe

Hello,
I love Velyn Harbor and it is the place I do all my crafting writs, but today I had other surprise there.
It appears that Wonder Woman has visited Elder Scrolls Online(*No naming and shaming - all character and account names are not visible):


I heard that flying hacks are back to ESO but I wasn't sure the rumors are true until I have seen it by my own eyes.
The player was flying for several minutes.
Judging by past history of exploits reported, he probably used a third party program.
I hope that ZOS will increase the server's security and make such hacking impossible.
Currently, it seems there is ongoing raise in the number of cheaters.

@ZOS_GinaBruno I hope that you will see this discussion and take appropriate action to prevent such weird activities.

P.S - I hope that you liked my khajiit character's dyed costume, I worked hard on the colors

She just looks like she is standing on the roof or that rock with a bad hit box to me.

ZOS_GinaBruno

Could you PM me the character name or UserID, please?

No.
She is flying above the rock.
The roof is much further away.

Are you sure that's wonder woman? I don't see her invisible jet.

I saw someone doing this in Rawl'Kha a few weeks ago, I assumed it was bug, would have reported it otherwise.

Oh if only there was the film of this … set to music of course.

Looks like this player is standing on invisible wall near rock/roof area.

Kind of reminds me of that rock in cyrodiil that was a rock to some alliances but to others it wasn't there so you could duck in and out of it and gank people if you were DC, while if you saw an EP or AD standing on it as DC it looked like they were standing on air.

That rock was fun, and it took like 3 years for them to fix it. I was going to make a DC character named Sinnerman, just so i could run to the rock and ask the rock if it could hide me, but the name was taken.

XD, I speak of Post-Crisis version of the DC Universe

In the Post-Crisis version of the DC Universe, Wonder Woman can fly, regardless of wind currents, and so has little need for the Invisible Plane. The Plane's history has subsequently been revised as well.

I knew it ! ! Invisible flying mounts ! ! !

Well she did do the voice over for Azura so...

What? It just looks like they're lagging above the rock, which on your side makes it look like they're floating.

This happens ALL the time, especially in Cyrodiil or major cities, where you occasionally will see floating/flying players suspended in place.

There are also areas where it has an invisible "barrier" that you can stand on top of.

It comes a different story if this person was actually flying around and doing actions, such as attacking mobs near the ground & they can't reach the person.

She was flying and landed near me later, probably when she noticed I'm there.

Maybe shes a witch and was messing around with alchemy and mixed the wrong weeds together. No shes high.

I am not sure about flying hacks. But, I know some third party sites selling speed hacks which is affecting PVP in a great way.Some are free & some are paid. i think players coordinates and positions are still hackable and ZOS anti cheat system cannot detect it .
Please note it does not impact health or other core numbers as far I know. But who knows ?

I think it’s just client-side desync with characters’ positions. I see this in cyrodiil with players and npcs. They will both float or warp back to locations; and no, I am not talking about the skill ultimate. I know on my client for years stealth friendly players will not move fluidly they move then pause and just appear in another place. Other times I will get messages saying “the target is out of range” when the player or npc are right next to me on my screen.

So, you think they took the time to CE flight, but didn't bother giving themselves perma-invisibility or hiding their nameplate?

I'm guessing good old broken game here.

(I've been spawned in from great height and gone skater sliding off the roof slope before.)

I'm still catching up on the Infinite Crisis story line from the YouTuber Comics Explained.

Me personally, my favorite run was the Flash Point series. I loved it so much I bought all the books related to that Universe. Seeing Wonder Woman and AquaMan duke it out over a completely ruined Europe was fascinating as it was intimidating just how far both of them had fallen in their rage.

goldenarcher1

Wonder Woman been involved with the Elder Scrolls for a long time now.

BWS2K

I still remember the only time I purposely watched Larry King was to catch Mrs. Carter's blurb on Morrowind...

Davor

Here I thought it was about Lynda Carter.

Salvas_Aren

Maybe the player bugged onto an invisible platform?

I did this before. And the game is probably full of them. As long as the average players don't do this, nobody cares about fitting them to the textures or removing them.

Davor

It can be a bug. Yesterday I tried to mount my horse and I shot up in the air just as if I got hit by a giant from Skyrim. About a second later I was on my horse again.

Just like the Running on the Horse glitch, the person flying in the air may be on the ground it's just we see it them as flying just as the person Running on the Horse doesn't know they are doing it.

Either way, ZOS probably have character logs and they can check the position the player was in every given moment.
For example, "Hero" was at location [x y z] vectors and then moved to [x y z] vectors etc.
ZOS have many means of checking if a player is cheating and I trust that ZOS will make the right decision

Good point. Thing is, if it is a glitch, like the Running on Horse glitch the person may not be aware that it is even happening. So they think they are on the ground when they are not. That is my point.

The person "flying" is seeing themselves on the ground while others are seeing them flying. So if others are seeing them flying that could mean Zenimax would see them as flying. Thing is if they are flying why is the person still thinking they are on the ground?

That is my point. We can't just say BAN person they are cheating. They may not even notice they are cheating. Just like you when you think you are on the ground, to someone else you could be flying because of the "glitch" or "bug" that shows you to them as flying.

Perhaps, though I believe ZOS have final* values for a player location even if the player can be seen in a different location due to a bug.
Also, if hacking was involved, maybe that too will show on ZOS logs.

I've seen similar things in Rawl'kha before. While flying and other hacks are almost definitely still around, this seems less like that and more like some other visual bug. There's also a variation of this that's relatively common in Cyrodiil where your character can get "stuck" on the terrain and be unable to move forward or backward. If you are mounted up and mid-jump for these events then you will legit just be stuck in the air. It's quite a sight. I don't think this is that kind of situation though since it doesn't look like there's anywhere to have jumped off of to get that kind of height, unless that rock is actually traversable.

That was my first thought as well. Like the skyshard rock in Dune. OP, do you have a screenshot in open space?
