Guild Wars 2

Just a minute ago, while doing the lab in SW, I saw a player which was clearly speedhacking (my partymate saw him too running too fast before, on the way to the wolf champ after the vinewrath).

I checked in game, but couldn’t see a “hack report”, and couldn’t even make another kind of report with some text of explanation.

How to do that?

You can try sending e-mail to exploits@arena.net however you should have some hard evidence. Are you sure it was not engineer or thief using haste or “super speed” buff?

No thief/engi, he was a guardian. Even so, he was going too fast, even compared to the slick shoes toolbelt superspeed (which just gives the usual +33% speed, same as swiftness), I’d say around +100% normal speed.

I’ll try with that email, ty, as for hard evidence I guess they can check things internally after a report.

Unless you have proof someone will just say it was lag.

which can be true these days in Tyria

Its probably not a speed hack, but a random client side bug thats been around for at least a year. I’ve witnessed it several times second hand, and whatever causes it sticks with the client until its closed completely.

Interesting. Do you know by any chance if Anet, after a report, is able to discern between the bug and an intentional speedhack?

BTW if it’d happen to me, I’d close the client, reopen it and report the bug, that player instead sticked with it. :P

Good luck.
