Guild Wars 2

I really just want to know why the dev’s have not sorted it out yet? its the most annoying thing when you have someone sitting on an AC behind a wall then shooting over it and just killing you and that fact you can’t stop them….. Also why can’t you report people for hacking? do anet let people hack ?

Well in some cases they might just be using the hole above the gate to fire over a wall, but I’m going to assume the situation you’re talking about doesn’t allow for that possibility.

While FOV hacks exist, you don’t need one to do what you describe. Eyefinity/Vision Surround (software that spreads the game across multiple monitors) will get you a wide enough FOV to do this, and you can also put the game in windowed mode then shrink it vertically to get a ghetto version of the same effect. Neither of these are against the rules, though I’m sure the red posts confirming that have long since been quietly deleted (along with most of the threads on this subject).

As to why Anet hasn’t removed this “functionality” from the game, I’m not really sure. They’re probably unable to limit AC fire to the basic FOV while still displaying a larger one, so I guess they’d have to discontinue multiple monitor support in order to stop this. Maybe they have some sort of business deal with AMD/Nvidia that prevents them from doing so. Or they just don’t want to because the issue isn’t prevalent enough.

One thing is certain though, it’s not a high priority issue for them.
