    Fine. I will admit it. These guys are a lot better than me. Someone teach me a MagDK build that can counter that so I can get gud.

    P.S. For anyone that wants to make a "that was just one time on PC and ZOS fixed it argument" I have plenty more recent clips - even on console. Just to lazy too edit out the names but if you want them, PM me.

    I don't buy the PS4 Cheat Engine explanation for one second, not without evidence.

    If you've got evidence then post it.

    Sure. So ZOS can use that as an excuse to lock the thread because it contains names? Remember this is the company that un-banned 40 of the 42 "permanent bans" for confirmed cheat engine users in the aftermath of that event. They have a demonstrated a vested interest in sweeping this under the rug and will use any excuse to do so. PM me if you really care about this issue and aren't just sticking your head in the sand because you would rather live in a world where console cheating doesn't exist and everyone who beats you is just better.

    Read the TOS of the forum you are posting on. Look at the history of closed threads on these forums when they start talking about specific instances of cheating. Posting any video footage without names completely blocked out gets "interpreted" as naming and shaming, which is against the forum TOS and usually gets the post locked or flat out deleted. Lol there was a time where you couldn't even say "blinxey" without getting your thread nuked but it seems ok now since its ancient history.

    I'm not asking for a video I'm merely asking for a plausible theory as to how it's even possible to use something like cheat engine on a ps4 or Xbox. That's it. Becuase I can't even come up with a half-baked explanation as to how that'd be possible.

    IDK if its cheat engine or not. The exact methodology is unclear to me and I never stated otherwise. All I know is that there is recorded evidence of cheating/exploiting on consoles. Whether they found some way to bug something out or they are actually modifying their system, who knows? We go through this same song and dance every time we see something suspicious. Maybe its a bug, maybe its a gear set, maybe its Maybeline, who knows?

    There are some companies out there that have a zero tolerance policy against cheaters and have no problem publicly shaming them. Its just this company that gives cheaters a free pass.

    Please don't let this thread turn you off of PvP. I've never encountered anything like what people are claiming in this thread. Seems like a bunch of crack-pot conspiracy theories. I think everyone needs to take the tinfoil hats off.

    Thanks mate. I love ESO.

    Part of two guilds that help me along. Run events, and everyday we doing cool things together. Our guild hall has all the crafting stations so there's that to look forward to.

    I have ventured into Cyrodiil just for the fun of it, and even when I get slaughtered think nothing of it.

    Jump on mah pony and ride (a long way!) back into certain death.

    One day, I keep reminding myself. One day :)

    How cheat programs work on console is you connect your console to a computer, the computer then adjusts values in the game that is being hacked. This works because the computer modifies what's going on in the console.

    This was being done originally when a lot of calculations we're being done console side - not server side.

    To combat this they made calculations be server side. Why we got so much lag etc.

    I have not heard of console cheat programs functioning ever since that change.

    - now what ever information is provided by the Xbox to server can be modified - this is where I can see current cheat programs working.

    This would mean adjusted stats as the gear selection etc is prob console side. This would allow for a little play in stats, this however, would not result in one player being a "God"

    Even if this kind of program was working, I would say 10 pro PvP players would still take him out.

    Either way, I doubt we will see unlimited meteors again

    @Waffennacht Yeah? You really believe that? Tell you what. Slide me your PSN or Skype via PM, and I’ll show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes. After what I’ve seen for myself in the past few hours, I definitely can say without a doubt that anyone who denies CE existing on PS4 is a complete fool. A complete fool up and down.

    You all really believe that consoles can’t be modified, and or have certain scripts ran on them eh? As @Yolokin_Swagonborn has stated, the only reason why I haven’t posted documented proof of any of this is due to the fact that I will most likely get permanently banned from these forums (I have no more warnings or chances to screw up here), and this thread would end up locked and or nuked. Only to be swept under the rug like the vast majority of exploiting threads, or anything remotely naming and shaming.

    Let me ask you all a serious question. Why is it that when things involve consoles, people claim that such and such things don’t exist? Only until of course things can no longer be contained, and become a widespread problem that picks up traction on media outlets (e.g. IGN, Kotaku, Giant Bomb, etc.). This happened in GTA5. People swore out that cheat menues didn’t exist, and there was no such a thing as “modded accounts”. Then of course what happened happened, and R* ended having to do a money sweep of every single account on GTA:O (regardless of the platform). And even now, modding is extremely prevalent on console. People swore out how people weren’t cheating, and using keyboard and mouse on Overwatch. Claimed it wasn’t just people naturally better than others. Until Blizzard could no longer sweep it under the rug, and officially spoke out against console players using adapters such as XIM to keyboard and mouse peripherals. Warning said players to cease it immediately, and supposedly lobbying against it within their game. Why? Because of the ridiculous edge on anyone with a controller these players were having, and the unnatural accuracy some of these players were having. Even on the same topic of Blizzard, the entire Diablo 3 incident, and how modded items and gear completely ruined the game for years. On both PS3 and PS4 systems by the way. People again claimed it didn’t exist, until those “Professional Russian Swords” and “Professional Russian Crossbows” started appearing everywhere. And ridiculously high-leveled gems. And gear with 3 sockets on every piece became apparent.

    So why is this? Why don’t you all take heed when things are in the beginning phases? Why don’t you ever heed these warnings and cries out of something wrong? Why is it always a “not on console it doesn’t exist”, until things get way too problematic and serious to be contained anymore? Why do you all do this, my fellow gaming brothers and sisters? I may prefer my gaming experiences to be on console, but this is 1 trait about us console gamers that will forever be something that irks the **** out of me.

    Edit: I’m logging out of these forums for the weekend, and possibly next week too. I need a serious break from this community for a little while.

    Well I know it has existed, I'm sure something can/does exist... But rampant would imply a whole lot of people.

    You could PM me about how it's done (I honestly don't care about specific players) but I would love to know what it is.

    Biggest thing about console is, when you do what we're talking about, it goes beyond ZoS, Sony will absolutely brick your stuff (same with Microsoft)

    I do like how you noted it was a dk... as if stam dk is over performing when thats not the case at all. Stam dk on its own is definitely not in a good spot currently unless you want to tank. The build can work on any class and its very common on console. The counters are dots, bleeds, ground AOEs, penetration, and any ability such as curse that can't be blocked. The fact 10 people died to this build is astonishing and only proves your lack of knowledge on how to go on defense. The build is definitely over-performing but don't pretend the dk is the only one capable of running it. Moreover, 10 people couldn't heal through the damage put out by SnB and 2h? I hope the man was also specced to reduce healing, otherwise you have a lot to learn. I also hope he wasn't using dizzy swing because thats the easiest ability to counter in the game.

    To add

    I visit other gaming forums outside of this one. I have read several threads about Sony in particular. They are not kind when it comes to banning. Once your account gets banned on PS4 from Sony you can not access all your digital games any more. Even mass reporting one person can get you banned.

    Their CS is not kind either. It would be wise to never cross the Sony and MS overlords. Getting all your stuff banned on an account is just a really dumb idea. You lose a butt ton of money if you bought digital games.

    Y’all some salty plebs if you think people are cheating on console.

    To alter ANYTHING on a ps4 you have to jailbreak it, which is something that is only done by master coders in Russia or India.

    Any jail broken ps4 has been known to be bricked by Sony within a couple weeks.

    If you are so sure someone is cheating, report it to Sony; it will be dealt with and y’all can stop QQ’ing.

    Until just a few seconds, I had heard of the build that everyone is talking about in which people run 2H and S&B while being completely immune to CC and damage for the most part. And is capable of dishing out skyhigh damage. I thought this was just a rumor, as Morrowind nerfed a lot of things. And how supposedly healing was nerfed in PvP. Boy oh boy was I mistaken...

    This joker was at 30k HP, ran 2H and S&B, absorbed the damage of no lie 10 people wailing on him (colonels and above), and managed to kill us all no problem. He generated ultimate like nothing I have ever seen, and seemingly appeared to have no problems with sustain. Even though everyone is running resource poisons. It was a StamDK we were fighting by the way, and no. He wasn’t emperor. And no, we could barely CC him outside of an occasional Fossilize (which wasn’t that effective).

    What type of super build is this, and why is it growing that popular all of a sudden? I usually duel in Auridon, and had heard of a growing trend in either StamDK’s or StamWardens with ridiculous sustain, damage, and healing. And are completely immune somewhat to resource poisons.

    And before someone asks, no. They weren’t wearing Troll King. They were wearing Blood Spawn. Although, I have been noticing that Troll King’s usage has spiked ridiculously these past few weeks for whatever the reason in both duels and Cyrodiil.

    Didn't you make a thread like a month ago claiming that DK was by far the worst class for PvP and was completely dead?

    Edit: I looked back at the thread and you and I had an argument where you claimed that there were no longer any DKs running around Cyrodiil becsuse they are they are terrible compared to Nightblades and other classes.

    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/379466/does-zos-actually-know-what-class-balance-is/p1

    Come on Ch4mp, you just gonna ignore me like this???? Harsh.

    I didn’t even notice that comment, to be honest. But, I still stick by my statement that I made in that thread. DK’s in my opinion are the worst class for PvP. Especially when compared to the others. When you have the benefits of running: A Sorc, Templar, Cheeseblade, or Warden — why else run a DK? Unless if you’re a true fan of the class (like me for example), there’s absolutely no logical reason to run a DK.

    And as for the class being dead? I stick by that remark as well. DK’s are by far the least encountered class for myself and for those that I play with. Most are Nightblades (still). Then Templars, Sorcs, and Wardens in that order. With DK’s being of course in last. And even then with the DK’s I encounter, they fall into 1 of 2 categories. They’re either incredibly easy to defeat, and hardly worth an ultimate. Or, they are damn near juggernauts with insane “skill” or cheese or whatever it is you all on these forums would classify it as. And that’s it. There is no middle grounds. There doesn’t exist a so-so DK on PS4-NA Vivec. It’s either you get stomped, or you do the stomping. The days of being a so-so/moderately-skilled DK have long disappeared when Morrowind was ushered in.

    Cheeseblade ?! You cut me deep brah ...

    Me too. Going to go cry now.

    I find it amusing that everyone is theorycrafting builds in here that could potentially do what OP described but every suggestion is different. So there are what? 5 different potentially game breaking stam DK combinations? Really?

    Maybe 7th, maybe truth set, maybe fortified brass, maybe blessed armor (LOL) maybe all of them at once. The problem with all the theorycrafting is that if you want to watch someone running any of these combinations, there are plenty of gameplay videos available on youtube. No video that actually lists the gear used can do what OP described unless they are fighting 10lbs of potatoes.

    So you are left with three options:
    • Assume OP and his crew were total potatoes and, if that is the case, then any well built build on a skilled player should wreck them, not just this one.
    • Pretend there is some magical combination of sets out there that turn you into a god, you just haven't found them yet because if you did, then you would be running them too, the secret would get out, and there would be an army of unkillable DKs in cyrodiil.
    • Admit that there is a TON of cheating in this game. Not just CE but ways to bug out sets so you can get multiple 5pc bonuses). Some of the most notorious unkillable DK's were just running bugs and exploits (like histbug before it was fixed).

    The fact that all of the armchair theorycrafters aren't running out to farm whatever gear they claim can do this so they can wear it and be immortal themselves is very telling. Seriously. If you think this is possible without CE or other exploits, then put your gold where your mouth is and go craft it, and post a video of you soloing a zerg at primetime. I'm waiting.

    Been there done that. It's super easy to strap on 7th + Ravager on my stamden and wipe out 10 potatoes.

    I find it boring tho.

    Looking at champ's build, and if his buds we're equally equipped, they'll get destroyed by META builds.

    Boring ? I throw a party when I can solo 3 mud crabs at once.

    Lmao. I like themes or styles, pizzazz ya know? Stamina sets have very little pizzazz, it's all bamf stats.

    That's why I'm extremely bored with magSorc in BGs now - going 15 /1 is common but TK + Transmutation + Axiom = hella boring tho very effective

    My only question is:
    If he's running SnB why on earth would he be using Corrosive Armor as his back bar ult?

    Because its situationally better than spell wall? Or maybe he wants to feel like a dk?

    Spell Wall is so much cheaper though and in most cases, it also helps with your offense.

    And corrosive armor gives %100 physical pen.
    Its berserk mode for 10 seconds.

    I can’t link the video because of forum rules but google search “Researcher Cracks Elder Scrolls Online” and watch the youtube video. Cheating exists in eso, not every case of suspicious behavior is cheating but it does exist. Other times it can be just Wrobel Mechanics™.

    Those most of had been over ranked pugs. Being a colonel doesn't means anything anymore considering there are august palatines with 400 cp who just ran with zergs all day capturing keeps during double ap.

    The video is only about pc, has been patched, and the only exploit was for guild trader bidding. So again nobody can provide evidence on something that doesn't exist on ps4. Unless you can somehow link a guild trader bid exploit to someone doing a 1v10 as cheating??? Ummmm no!

    There isn't any set that lets you 10v1 against good players. simple as that.
    Its either cheat engine or you're all pugs. No class, not even stamden, can go ahead, permablock, and then kill 10 good players.
    Something is off here. Again its either

    A. cheats
    B.exploit, bug.
    C.Puggy eyes.

    Even a good emperor only takes 4-5 coordinated people to kill.

    http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Devil Grip/video/40044235

    Not me and not emp but he does ZERO damage he has clips on his Xbox and he has taken on "tanked" 25+ ppl

    I Don't see good players in that clip.

    All I see are a bunch of pugs to be real.

    and that thing, I cannot call it a sDK, It would be an insult to all the good sDks out the.. of wait.. they all rerolled stamdens. rofl.

    If that’s the guy he’s running a pure tank build with mostly defensive skills in that vid. He’s alternating between resto ult and shield wall and those dudes are trying to Jesus beam at full health. When the ults come down he does take damage. Yes he’s def cheesing it in this clip, but that’s a combo of that and those guys taking the bait. I tanked 7 players on a light armor magblade yesterday without thee resto ult, just shield and healing ward. They had me out of stam and ccd so it’s not hard to imagine this guys avoiding that kind of damage with a stam DK tank build. Who can say for sure but in that clip it doesn’t look like cheating.

    Most people can't even tell the obvious difference between a sDk an mDk anyways.
    These type of talk builds always did exist, It only really works against potatoes and even then, you need to be worse than a pug to die to these.

    I mean one of the guys is using a 2h, starts to dizzy swing, then starts spamming whip... 2h sDK using whip... :/

    LMAO what?

    Yes. Countless times on my mDk people called me a ''Kodi sheep'', or ''meta boi''
    Kodi doesnt even play mDk ffs... and mDk is anything but meta. Its very strong, but Im talking open world here..
    And recently while I was complaining about the state of my sDk some dude came out and legit said,
    ''DK is fine, you're trash, they hit like 8-9k whips and root you 7/24''
    The guy said this despite he saw me using a 2 hander.

    So yeah,most people who don't play Dk seriously don't have much idea about the class. Except they know Its a Dk, oh well that is a start.
