AD cheating in growing numbers on PS4\PS5

AD is cheating in huge numbers by glitching through broken mile gates, they are supposed to be impassable when destroyed but more and more AD players are learning how to glitch through the center thus cheating. this has been going on for months and I know lots of people are reporting players for doing this yet... these players are never removed from the game.

    They are only impassible from one direction. Are you sure they aren't on the passable side of the gate?

    I don't PVP, but am very curious. How can AD glitch through gates but other alliances can't? I remember a few months ago about some alliance abusing low population credits by going into the delves at counting time(?) I know Cyrodill has many bugs, but this just amuses me since it seems like it would be difficult to do on purpose.

    The Mile gates between DC and AD are set up so that if DC takes down the center AD can not pass through them with out cheating. the gates between DC and EP are set up so that if EP takes down center DC can not pass through, then there are bridges between AD and EP and if you destroy them ... I think anyone can cross there.

    Anyway I know the developers are not going to do anything about programable devices people are cheating with but this should be something they can deal with... I am getting to the point where I may make my own order and just fight fire with fire.

    This must be why the AD (my preferred faction for all my high elf alts) was always on the losing end when I went in when I played on the PS4.

    Honestly with the lag I have been seeing in GH, I wouldn't be surprised if the gate was fixed on their end.

    First of all, you can still get to the other side, when you go around! Even if all 3 gates or bridges are broken, there is always a tunnel or small wooden bridge that you can use. Takes you 2 minutes. You don't have to wait in front of a destroyed gate/bridge for the rest of the evening...

    Second, i don't think it should be called cheating or glitching when you know how to jump over the river between Sejanus and Alessia. And finding a way to jump over the remains of a broken milegate, step by step, doesn't make you a cheater either. Everyone can do it, it can be a little complicated, it will probably take you longer than just going around, and Meatbags and other siegeweapons can make it hard to succeed. There in no glitching and cheating involved. Jumping on the walls of a keep from the outside, that's cheating.

    Asking for players to be banned from the game always seems a little extreme. Especially when there is nothing wrong with the way they are playing. But some people see cheats and conspiracies everwhere.

    Maybe there is a completely different way that i haven't seen yet. Then i am sorry for wasting your time.

    Jumping through a broken gate has happened on PC too. To be honest, most of the time just going though the tunnel saves time. Or even repairing the gate. Looks to me that some enjpy of the challenge it gives to precise those jumps

    It must be a new thing on PS, because we've been ignoring this glitch on PC for years now.

    Reminds me of my DAOC days when I found a tiny seam at the edge of one of the Albion milegates and would get through it with my Midgard toon and run around. Once past the gate there was no PvP, no guards to worry about, nothing but the hostile mobs and I'm sure the puzzled looks on the faces of the Albion players behind their keyboards.

    The Cyrodiil gates always felt unncessary to me. Even if you can't jump through them you can just go around through another gate or a tunnel. There's no actual blocking off the lands beyond them.

    I’m looking forward to another round of bans by ZOS for cheating. It always results in a huge drop in the number of suspiciously “skillful” players.

    I'm going to get some unpleasant feedback here but can we talk about the incredibly suspicious way AD seems to have no lag or issues with lag? I play on GH PS NA server and even though I've been told multiple times "Everyone lags..." it just does not come off that way whenever we engage AD in fights. It feels like we're running in quicksand mashing the same buttons over and over again just to get a skill to work while you watch AD bunnyhop firing skills like lag is non-existent for them, lmao. If they are lagging then it's hidden very very well....

    I can assure you I get plenty of lag in gh on AD. And I get it while not even engaging in the big zerg battles at keeps.

    Go to the titan two console tuner website, get the invite to the discord channel, and see how they are warning script writers and the lazy people who just pay for scripts to make sure scripts have variability built into them to make it harder for game developers to detect the use of scripts.

    I will never understand why Sony and Microsoft as well as every other game developer just do not ban the MAC address to consoles. Make it so a once a console is blocked for cheating it will never be unblocked, guarantee just about all but the 1% of the most hardcore will only lose one console to this and never risk it again.

    And regarding AD I think most of the people getting scripts from others are consolidating under AD, I don’t see anywhere near as many EP or DC players pulling off half the garbage AD players are. but this is my opionon.

    I saw the first real cheat I've ever seen in Cyrodiil during the Jester's Festival. Someone managed to get max mount speed on one of those gimmick toy horses running around super fast. It was pretty funny to watch. They were EP though, not AD and it was on PC NA not PS. It wasn't even malicious. They were just running around trolling.

    Not sure what server you're on but I absolutely feel this way on the GH PS NA server and it's not just my guild or zone chat. I've seen DC players bring up the same thing. As I stated above, if AD is experiencing lag like the rest of us, it's definitely well hidden. I'm over here struggling to barswap, fire a skill, barely do anything while AD is hopping around firing skills left and right like it's nothing, lol. Just my perspective

    It's an uncomfortable fact that a big part of what determines a player's "skill" in this game is their ping. I've watched videos of fights that I was in, from the perspective of a ball group player that streamed it, and it can be super depressing. The streamer and their buddies are zipping around freely, bar swapping and using skills with no lag or failure, while I feel like I'm crawling through molasses and can't drink a pot or get my ult to fire at all.

    Good.

    The destroyable gates are stupid and do nothing but funnel players to the same places which causes lag. Plus it's totally imbalanced as one side can still use it.

    Once it's destroyed, it shouldn't be immune to fixing just because someone is spamming a balista at it.

    It should be unrepairable for a period, then be able to be repaired.

    Running all the way around to stop someone sieging is long and boring.
