Guild Wars 2

I had never meet players who cheat. I had heard of glitches on SM and Keep but the tournament began three days ago and in JP is already the second time that i meeting thieves who strike you as invisible. (Im in Gandara against FS and Piken this week) Can not hit them, you can only see in history “Unknow hit you for.”

Is this the way? Use the cheat to kill players in JP? Or use glitches to flip SM or Keep?

Why Anet does not solve these problems? Some of them are also known.

Knowing about a problem does not mean it will magically get solved.
They still need to actually find a working solution for it.

give thief or any profession that can go invisible giant visible foot print. i think this be fair, if you don’t learn to see/read the environment, then you get kill.

Cloak and Dagger, most likely. That’s not a cheat, they’re just using you to refresh stealth.

Nope, that’s not it. There are two players with perma stealth (thief and ele) trolling around. You can not see them at all, not even for a moment. They are even killing NPCs in our spawn base.

You can not target them, therefor no way to report them. Combat log says that damage was from “Unknown”…

There are already few threads about this issue (with video clips), but moderators are deleting them every now and then…

If you never noticed, patches of grass and flowers would move even if a stealthed player runs through them. Though, I think you need to be on certain graphics settings to see it.

On Topic:
I’ve ran into a hacker in the past as well. I was on my roaming on my Warrior and ran into this Necromancer, his conditions melted me pretty low and pretty fast so I tried to disengage. Though, even with sword/warhorn and a greatsword, the Necromancer would still be able to catch up. I wasn’t snared or anything and he caught up to me. When I looked back his character would be running but making little teleports forward and with each little teleport he got closer to me, which should be impossible.

Anyways, I don’t think there is an effective way to catch and punish these hackers unless video proof and/or screenshots along with an account name or something is provided.

I’m from FSP and I’ve been trying to get a glimpse of them however tbey don’t even show up on OUR radar. They are invisible to us also. We’re trying our hardest to report them but it seems they have figured out god mode after all.

Apologies as we are all for fair competition, however it seems they have knowledge of an exploit nobody else does.

Is there any legitimate reason to get hit by “Unknown” in WvW because, if not, it shouldn’t be that difficult for ANet to program their servers to not accept or pass on damage from “Unknown” damage dealers that don’t identify server and other information, since it needs to pass through the server to reach your client.

It’s nice to hear this! I was wondering how come that there was no reply from anyone from FSP in those previous threads. I hope this will be resolved as soon as possible!

I believe there are legitimate reasons to be hit by “unknown”, although they’re very rare cases that require specific situations. I can’t think of any specific situations though, perhaps if the attacker somehow drops out of range/line of sight before the attack hits, or somehow disappears from the game. For instance, meteor shower and blink away, shot a projectile then portal back far away, shoot something but disconnect from the game before it hits, &c.

I think there’s also some weird bug where, following a fight, you randomly get “hit” by some attack, but it doesn’t actually hit you… I usually see it following a respawn. It’s hard to describe. I’ve never checked if that gets listed in the combat log or not, maybe I’ll check next time. If it does, it’s possible it could register as unknown.

This kinda stuff would have to be tested though, and even then it seems like very special conditions that wouldn’t cause any problems if the attack damage was to be ignored.

After 270 WvW level with a Thief I think I’ve discovered the existence of Cloak and Dagger.

I did only a stamp :P

Well it can’t be cloak and dagger because using that skill while in stealth, ends the stealth. My server encountered the same nonsense and there has been no response, even when i emailed support and exploits… some acknowledgement from a dev would be good to hear, but when/if that will happen is anybody’s guess.

This again? Since the last thread with the invisible warrior and ele mysteriously vanished, don’t know what will come of this…

I haven’t seen anyone geting ganked by nothing from opposing sides myself, though I’ll remain vigilant, because this is really making me boil. The suspicion rests at someone from FSP, as the last matchup with similar issues was FSP, BB and Piken, where Piken was the main target.

Hurt my server pride alot, so I hope I’m wrong.

It’s confirmes the hackers are on my server (fsp).
Already told by Kiro, we also stand in front of their AoE but we can’t see their name even if they are our ally.We cannot see em on the miniradar too.
But we can see the effect of their skills like ele burning speed, thief poison field etc.
If we stand in their AoE we don’t take dmg while our enemy die…so they must be our ally.
Also (if any devs can find it usefull before the thread get closed) they usually play around 19-21 gmt+1 , they farm obsidian sanctum and then join borders (i guess they farm in OS till their queque is ready fora border).
Anyway guys, don’t be sad if the thread get closed.
Hackers want visibility, and this kind of thread give them what they want.
Anet know about the problem.
Continue reporting the issue to the support team via tickets, and try to give them more info like the hour, the map, the skills, screenshot of your combat log etc etc.
