And breaking stealth happens all the time. The combat is a spam fiesta and if you spam the correct skill you will always break it like gap closer or some aoe ability.

How does something like this exist? What happened to actual player skill and awareness of surrounding?
This addon comes across as literal cheating, or am I reading it wrong on it's page?
You are not wrong. This is the public add-on, just imagine what the private (for friends only) add-ons can do.

Do you know specific facts, or is this just some urban legend that gets passed around as fact? The ESO API does limit what players can know about incoming attacks. If there are bugs or exploits that bypass this, they need to be reported. If you are not just speculating because you think something like that must exist, have you reported it?

I'm not saying everyone play fair, but it *is* possible to dodge roll a charge coming from behind.
You can maintain awareness of what's behind you by spinning the camera independent of your movement and keeping the camera zoomed out to max.
When you know or suspect someone's following you you can also roll dodge the moment they appear at the edge of your screen -- on the safe assumption they're gap closing.

Almost no players ever cheat in PvP. And why would you? You can just play the most meta build and be better then the rest.

The original author has made claims on these forums about what he release and what he doesn't.

And click before colliding with a player like that, he does a rolldodge, I repeat it on that person 5 times. And the same thing every time.
Every seven people could be stunted, but not this person.
Not to mention that the same player hit me with single target skill before he discovered me in stealth mode. (I drank the potion with invisibility.)

OP...
i hate PVP with passion, but I still think you're BS-ing here...
Even PVP scrub like me knows how to rotate camera in 3rd person mode, and how to use detect pots...
Gave quite a surprise to several EP stalkers last MYM when I jumped on them while they've been stealthed,..

I don't think you are constantly zooming 360 degrees during a fight etc. You are not able to avoid 100% skills, although it is not known what pvp god you would be and how closely connected to these lame servers.
And I started this topic not to blame people, but to highlight a problem that will eventually start to grow. No, ESO is not free from cheaters, but as I can see, a lot of people think we are a true paradise free from these kinds of things.

Welllll, I'm almost certain I ran into one the other day (though I didn't bother reporting in case it was a bug). I have a low health build, but with close to 8k weapon damage and lots of pen. It can shred 30k+ tanks in 2 hits. I unloaded everything I had onto this nightblade, including a dawnbreaker (24k tooltip). They were on the ground taking zero damage - 100% health the entire time. We fought for about 5 seconds before they wiped me out, still jumping around with full health.
Pretty demoralizing stuff.

I'm sorry but...what is this logic? QoL addons are not cheating and I honestly don't understand the thinking that arrives at the conclusion that they are. If I use an addon that helps me do my crafting faster, how is anyone that doesn't use that at a "disadvantage"? Is there some kind of competition for getting daily writs done faster I'm not aware of? Or an increased reward for people who use addons for it? People who opt not to use the addons aren't at any kind of disadvantage other than their crafting taking a little longer, but like...in what way are they actually at any sort of disadvantage?alberichtano wrote: »

If its one of those russian, "below ground" cheaters. Thats known for while, they somehow exploit being below ground, flying etc. But normally there are close to 0 cheaters. Ive never once met someone who couldnt be killed. And why would you cheat if your not getting immortal.
There are so many mechanics and server side bugs in the game that seem like cheating for example:
- positional desyncs where your enemy appears to be hit but was like 10m away
- stamsorc ganks have invalid locations, the attack seems to come from behind even when they are not also the game cant register all 4 skills used for the gank so it looks like you get killed by 7k cristal weapons and nothing else
- invinsible jabbs from animation desyn
- healthbar desync + instant death at full health
- people that crashed but their chars are still visible yet not attackable
And much more. Almost anything can be a "cheat" if your new to pvp

Yeah, you do, when fighting alone in close areas like IC.
Also, FG/MG crit skills are quite useful for detection, especially when you want to save pot cooldown for immovability (although i am mainly using them on my pve alts while leveling for TC)
And yeah, people could use a lot of addons or poor-balanced sets in ESO - that is why, except tournaments with massive limitations, there is no point to invest yourself in pvp. Just take hammer, get emperor and enjoy title & new colour at outfit station XD
