if you play this game for pvp and every battle grounds you run into people macroing clear as day haha?
I am a pve player just doing it for the event items but lol at anyone who thinks this game is playable on the pvp side. Its ridiculous how many people macro and how many can spam ults within 2 seconds of the last one haha.

Lucky I dont need to return after I get the event items.

    Is it possible that the macros are not macros and you just get out played?

    My skill is very low. In fact I would say and without joking I am the worst pvper to have the emp title and costume. I say this because I am a pve'er.

    I however also record videos for youtube and its very clear some people can cast ults within a few seconds of each other and or shoot 2 snipes in one or 4 lethals as 1 etc.

    This is not a thread about how bad I am (which I am and dont care lol) its about how people could deal with the state of pvp when people clearly macro.

    Wouldn't the global cooldown make it impossible for macros to activate multiple skills as one? Maybe it's just really bad lag.

    That's not a macro. Macros are just prerecorded keystrokes that can be played back at the press of a button. Ult spamming is someone who's actually cheating, using cheat engine, or another memory editor utility to artificially alter their ultimate value. Similarly firing multiple Lethal Arrows at once isn't possible via macroing. It can occur from lag, and I wouldn't put it past the range of possibility that there's an exploit which allows someone to bypass the cast time and GCD for an ability, but I'm unaware of that occurring right now.

    Yes. Though, it's not outside the range of extreme possibility that there's an exploit to bypass the GCD at the moment, I simply haven't heard of one.

    This has been explained hundrets of times before. But just for you I will say it again:

    MACROS CAN NOT BYPASS THE GLOBAL COOLDOWN!

    It doesn't matter if macros are a thing or not, which they just aren't. What you are experiencing has nothing to do with macros. Either it's lag or you mistake incoming damage ticks for individual casts.

    Fast reaction speed, muscle memory, memory of what people usually do, memory of how I die when I play, and not being afraid to die. I usually train my reaction speed and response to enemy tactics on the spot. Every time I die I remember it and immediately know what I did wrong, by doing so eventually I become able to tank a zerg in light armor with base resist on my healer...

    I'm actually thankful when a faction rolls over me, it helps me get used to them and come back worse :D

    Mind sharing some videos of the "macro" users so we can see what you're referencing?

    Human nature. If people can cheat they will cheat!

    True PvP people are highly competitive and care about little else but winning at all cost.

    Leave them be for they burn in an emotional Hell of their own making.

    The only thing I do not like when it comes to PvP players. They share a virtual space with me.
    So send them to Mars! Or send me to Venus...which ever...hehe.

    Good luck to us all.

    I play BGs nearly every day and never run into cheaters. Also, using a macro is useless with the GCD on skills. You most likely just got outplayed. Depending on class/build, players can get cheap ults like dawnbreaker up pretty quickly.

    This. I know someone who shall not be named that constantly complains that better players are using macros. That’s bullcrap. There’s a difference between using macros and having skill + using animation cancelling
