Guild Wars 2

Is anyone else seeing what I am in WvW play? In recent days, it seems that a lot of players have employed hacks and cheats. Players are regenerating health at incredible rates. A ranger can take out my full-ascend warrior in one hit. I’ve seem unusual moves and speed that’s way outside the norm. What’s with that? Arenanet should be able to detect cheaters and ban them. Is unusual behavior that hard to root out? I’m seeing a lot of them on the Ferguson Crossing server. I hope the development team can do something soon.

There are no hacks, glitches or bugs in that game mode. THis topic will be moderatord in 3…2..1.

First sentence is, quite obviously, false. I don’t know what world you are from, or which ones you are facing, but down in T7 & T8 there is some pretty obvious, shameless hacking going on.

Second sentence is, unfortunately, true.

It’s very hard to write sarcasm there is no font for it.

That’s why you use <sarcasm> tags </sarcasm> duh, get with it. :P

The history of inaction by Anet (or at the very least perceived inaction by the playerbase) means there’s no deterrent. But yeah, the speed hacks especially seem to have spread quite a bit recently. I wonder if they have this problem in sPvP?

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some people using the speed hack to a less obvious degree (45% or so). I just know I’m done with this game.

Most common i’m seeing are speed hacks,some are kitten obvious like skipping off 10m per step in the distance and theyre gone..and some are a bit harder to describe..Like fighting someone and when he goes to around 50%hp he suddenly starts skipping around and im not doing any dmg while im right at his face,its like they suddenly start desyncing from the server while im not noticing any lag myself,i hardly hit him at all,and thats also happening quite frequently.

meh theres only renders and lags in the game people take advantage of, XD hell even some spell usage has been modified to force the said rengers and lags out of the fight. the mesm’s used to render into forts and now they cant due to spell modding XD so sure if you cal rend manipulation a bug or hack then go ahead, but thats not really a game issue but a player graphics issue.

see this thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Ingame-GMs-do-they-exist

the TL;DR version is, report these people using the “botting” report category. sending email to exploits@arena.net is not an effective way to stop hacks (it should be used only to report exploitable bugs in the game, things any player can do without third-party tools).

I dunno if ya’ll just started playing the game recently, but i’ve been seeing hacks for the last 6 to 8 months now. sPvP and WvW. I know how they’re doing it too, but if you mention specifics on the forums, its an instant x amount of day forum ban.

AFAIK, ANet is on a “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” plan with the hackers and etc, so get used to it. They need people playing this game to keep getting paychecks, regardless if they hack or not.

When you openly say you cannot do something without visually witnessing it…

You open pandora’s box.

Anet’s time to fix their mistake here.

Perhaps they have a lot of GMs? Enough that they are able to respond immediately to any report to catch the hackers in action… so that justice is dealt swiftly. Is that not everyone’s experience with reports?

Oh i’m sure they do… that explains a fair bit of the forum activity.

Thanks, but you obviously don’t understand the problem. Hacks and cheats are rampant in GW2. Do a little research to inform yourself. The game is going to die sooner rather than later if Arenanet doesn’t get more aggressive in dealing with this. I love GW2 and think cheaters deserve a lifetime ban.

While there do seem to be plenty of players hacking/cheating, by comparison to other MMOs I have played it seems pretty tame.

I would also guess that many of the current issues are tied to the recent ever present lag that many players have suffered. I am quite sure to some recent opponents I appear to be teleport hacking because on my end that is exactly what is unintentionally happening. Course it is offset by the many skills that won’t activate in a timely manner.
