Guild Wars 2

While I was playing a sPvP match a few moments ago, I had a very weird encounter with a person playing a Ranger. I had just gotten them into a downed state, in the process of stomping, and it teleported… I thought nothing of it the first time, then I went in for the second stomp, did it once more, and then again… I then asked what was going on. The player replied with, I don’t know, I am lagging or something… And with out any other word from me, they said, I’m not hacking, if I were hacking I would be killing people…

Is there that kind of hacking in Guild Wars 2? I also noticed that they player was using elementalist attacks…

Oh, they also left the game right after..

There are hacks out there that will let you teleport, but severe lag can do the same. There’s a gap between where the lagging person is on your client and to where he is on the lagging person, causing him to ‘teleport’ as his client catches up and says ‘No he’s here’ to the server.

combine that with the other threads complaining about severe lag in SPvP, and I would think that that’s the case.

Is there something that can let a Ranger use mist form, and other ele abilities(hack wise)? I know it was a Ranger because they had a pet.

I wouldn’t think twice about it if so many things didn’t feel odd about the situation. I should have saved the video :/

There is a Rune that granst u that Form when below 20%…

Rangers + Teleport hack go together way to well.
Willing to bet he was hacking.

Something like that happened to my girlfriend yesterday and I thought I was crazy or maybe I had missed something about the class. It was a mesmer, I play a mesmer and am aware of downed skill 2, however, one is also aware of its cooldown, and that mesmer ported back 3 times when she was trying to stomp.

Might not be hacking after all. I remember having similar problems in WvW a few times. Once tried to stomp somebody several times, it didn’t work (or so it seemed), but from the TS I figured out that it indeed had worked, only I didn’t see it while everyone else did and thought I was being stupid. Don’t know about the guy I stomped, ‘cause WvW, but it might be something similar. If they left the game right after, might be that they really lagged horribly and then DC’d. It would also explain the mistform – if they had the rune of vampirism equipped and lagged, then there might have been a delay in triggering the mistform, making it seem like they used it after getting downed.

What I don’t understand was their need to mention that they weren’t hacking. No one even brought it up.

Unless there is a big issue with these kinds of hacks, then I guess I would understand.

The players was running around capping and killing people before without problems.

I’m not trying to reinforce that the person was hacking, the our thing was just really odd.
