Guild Wars 2

Recently in every sPvP match that I have played I have encountered a hacker. This is ridiculous. The last game I played I was against 4 hackers. What is the point of playing a game, especially an MMORPG game if you are just going to hack. Its really sad to be honest with you.

I am curious on others views on hacking/hackers

Never saw an Hacker in a pvp match yet and I playing since launch. My guess is that they beat you, you disliked it and you call hacker. But can you elaborate. What they did that make you think they hacked?

Vague post is vague.

How did they hack?

guardian came alive from being fully downed, warrior take 0 damage, necro 1 shot without wells or marks or condi or crit. that was the latest game

Never saw a hacker either and I’m playing since launch as well.

Generally speaking, I could think of two possible reasons why you may think otherwise:
1. You don’t know the opposite class that well and encountered a specific build that easily countered yours.
2. You suffered from a bad connection / lag and died without really seeing what’s going on.

Anything I missed?

Guardian coming back up after being downed → Rally from kill or Warrior Warbanner
Warrior taking 0 Damage → Endure Pain (Utility) or Defy Pain (Trait)
Necro oneshotting → Lichform (Elite) and/or Spinal shivers proc combined with air/fire procs + you having boons on you.

OPs first forum post was March 2nd. Might be new?

Im also a day one player,started in 2012 and havent seen any hackers in spvp so far.

I did meet a few teleporters in wvw tho, usually teleporting away when they get downed or low on hp. they just teleport incredicly fast in like 600 ~ 900 distance unit steps untill they poof at render distance.

no lichform. guardian was fully downed so banner wouldnt effect, and warrior was no damage all game

me new? my account is over 800 days old. 863. admittedly only 437 hours. However it wasn’t just me who saw it. All of my team saw and agreed they were hacking

Got any screenshots or something?

like your combatlog thats shows you dealing 0 damage to said warrior for several minutes?

Are you sure the guard was fully downed, healthbars can appear 100% empty while in reality you still have 15 ~ 10hp

Also what build do you play? if its something like ele i would not be surpised to see a necro 100 – 0 in 2 seconds or so. all they need is that spinal shivers proc.

unfortunately i have no screenshots or anything i was also playing a guardian with 17K health, Dolyak runes, Berserker amulate and 2.6k armour

Honestly, without proof, this just sounds like a case of not actually seeing what you think you’re seeing.

Most ‘hackers’ are good players beating bad ones.

He means “defeated” not “fully downed”.

Revive skills do not work on defeated player characters, only downed player and some defeated NPCs.

If a character rallies from defeat, they are cheating somehow. It may be exploiting a bug, it may be hacking. Whatever it is, it can’t be done through normal gameplay and skill usage.

HACHERS EXIST!
I fought 1 hacker that created dublicates of himself! He just Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and new copies were created faster then I killed them!
At 2nd, he used bug with weapons: he had GS, but it had RANGED attack – 100% cheater

I’ve actually faced a few hackers in my time. They were all clearly using speed hacks. My entire team reported the person, and I added their accounts to my block list. A week or so later I didn’t see the hackers logging on anymore. Pretty standard fare, really.
