Guild Wars 2

Another unfortunate consequence of the AC buff patch is the sheer amount of zoomhacks that people are reporting daily.

Seems like the new and fast way to deal with the ac head-ache is to just simply use the all-so-popular zoomhack in order to remove the defensive ACs in a keep.

Reports keep pouring in from T1 and T2 servers and I am sure many others are in the same situation. Siege wars has never been so dull and annoying.

Arena need to do something fast before zoomhacking will be part of the meta.
And honesty I can’t blame the hackers THAT much. I cry like a baby seal each time a commander wants to attack a keep these days.

Zoomhack?

You mean, you can zoom at the distance of SAB boss?

Seen screens of them zooming further. (To the moon alice!)

Well by the Six Gods and Abaddon below! That’s far too OP! Especially with the mechanics (and damage, and range) of Arrow Carts

FYI, multiscreen setups have a larger FOV, MUCH larger.

So it’s possible that some “zoomhacking” is simply people with nice setups.

Which makes it an zoom-exploit instead of a zoom-hack. Even if it is possible without modification of the engine, I can hardly believe that ANet want people with larger/more screen or “clever” exploit of window-mode to have such an advantage over the rest.

Therefore I think: I should be fixed.

ANET should just chime in on the issue and settle it once and for all.

Those in position to use the increased FOV will loathe having it deemed an exploit and defend it as as intended since there has been no feedback from ANET.

It doesnt really matter how the player’s rig is set up. He’s using the zoom-bug/hack/whateva in a way that was not intended by Anet. Defensive siege is rendered useless.

It’s getting worse every day.

And that means, they’re not on even ground, which is simply not the way to do battle honorably.

Skill is one thing, premium zoom is another.

Hi everyone,

If you suspect someone from hacking or other illegal actions please remember to report them either using the in game report tool or by providing screenshots or other evidence to the CS team – http://en.support.guildwars2.com/ -. Also, please remember that posting in the forums about it does not help the team solving the issue, and that posting screenshots about it is not allowed.

Thanks for your understanding.
