Guild Wars 2

So, just a few moments ago I was playing as thief on the sPvP map Forest of Nifhel. I was fighting a ranger at henge (I was red, he was blue). I got him to downed state and went for a stomp, he interrupted me with Thunderclap (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Thunderclap).
I went to stomp again before his pet could start healing him… and Thunderclap, again. I looked around thinking maybe someone had interrupted me (as there were others fighting nearby). No, it was also the same animation as Thunderclap (Lightning Strike shares the animation). I went to stomp again… Thunderclap. Now his teammates were coming over. I went to stomp again… Thunderclap. At that point I had to try to escape because his team was literally on me. He was ressed and I ended up dead.

So how is this possible? 4 Thunder Claps in the span of 10ish seconds? I thought the cool down was 10 seconds. I reported the account and still know his information if this is a hack of some sort.

that’s not right. At most its thunderclap — > Wolf fear…never seen anything more than that. Try to whisper the guy again and if he does not reply then reporting him is the only thing you can do.

Looks like a bug that appeared.. Reporting someone for a games-fault, isn’t going to work. You mean he hacked some of A-Nets scripts about TC and changed it? Seems legit.

Using exploits for your own good is also considered “illegal”

If you use it in knowledge and abusing it on purpose, then ye. But if it happens on surprise and let’s say your thunderclap has no cooldown, you would stop pressing it to get stomped? Mabye a dev could clear this up.

i think what he’s trying to say is:
1. if you were going through the trouble of hacking why the hell would you reserve it for a down state skill, if he was truely a hacker you would’nt have downed him.

2. bugs happen, back when killing minions/clones in ele mistform rezzed the ele it happened to me 3 times in a row, i had no idea what was going on, it’d have sucked if someone reported me for it.

moral of the story, don’t be so trigger happy with reporting, you’re jeopardizing peoples accounts for what sounds like a bug.

It’s a legitimate reason to report. It’s not up to him to decide if it’s a game bug or not. Now, if it’s an allowed action through a combination of some traits or whatever, that’s different. It’s also different if he has inaccurately described (intentionally or otherwise) what happened. It’s also pointless to make assertions such as “No hacker would ever do something so trivial”. How would you know?

Hello,

Thank you for your concerns about this. However, the forums are not the right place to discuss such matters, as the Customer Support Team is the only one who can decide what falls under the terms of exploit/hack.

Please submit a ticket with all the information you may have, so they can look into it. if you have already done so, then it’s perfect.

This thread is now locked, thank you for your understanding.
