I saw hackers of all classes in PvP. But mostly it was just teleport to enemy player or knockback with several stacks of stability, but I have never seen what you are talking about and it’s rather …. Interesting that only thieves do that, as the name of your thread suggests. Are you sure you are not just over reacting to a simple Shadowstep + Steal? Cause I have met plenty of people who failed to see that and called hacks without thinking twice. Now, I am definitely not questioning your powers of observation, but merely pointing out that we have been to that whole suspicious “The Thieves are hacking” thingy before.

Sorry for the late reply, I’m sure it’s not shadowstep+steal, and here’s why: There was this thief on the enemy team we were fighting at home (Forest map) and when he went down using that teleport in downstate he moved from home to next to the beast. He went down a second time, and this time moved from home to that wooden gate thingie that’s on the way to mid.

If you are in a ranked match with top 100 players then they’re already the best thieves in the game. They’ve already mastered teleportation halfway across the map in mere seconds for decap/recap and don’t need to hack to do it.

I’m aware there are skilled players who can perform such feats, and that’s exactly how I know which ones are cheating. Two things here; they have 0 skills at fighting and die pretty quick, second is I’m not talking about going from home to mid in 2 seconds, they went from home to far in 2 seconds, their dot on the map moving twice (from home to mid in 1 second, from mid to far another second) not once, but several times, and no there was no trap involved. I’ve played my share of thief and I’ve also played with very skillful players using thief. If that’s not enough for you then go play some ranked games and you’ll eventually run into one, they’re easier to spot on your team.
What’s more, mail me in game and I’ll send you one of their names, see if you can group with them and see for yourself.

Just today I’ve run into 3 of these.
When they shadowstep it covers like 4 times the distance, with no cooldown. Am I missing some secret trait or something?
Sad thing is even if they’re hacking they still lose the match, cause they’re bad.
Might add that this was in a ranked match, so a decent player can easily get in the top 100 using this thing they’re using, plus it’s unfair for the rest of the players.
Are devs aware if this?

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uacSgaWHbqk it’s basically this, but I think people are using thieves cause they can shadowstep and stuff so it wouldn’t be too obvious.

500g listing fee though… lol

I had no trouble doing these events roughly 2 weeks ago, had to wait maybe 30-45 minutes for it but it was definitely working.

Is it a bug or is it intended? When I volunteered to get in the other team (which was obviously going to lose) I did not get the win towards the “win 10 games” achievement, even though the “reward” for volunteering says it would.
It is already a pain in the kitten to get the 10 wins and leaving the winning team to give the other more chances AND not getting the reward is even worse.
I’m guessing this is not going to be fixed soon since it’s one of those temporary events reused every year so I’d advise people not to volunteer.
EDIT: Forgot to add, after the match was over it gave me an error saying “The world is full” and leaving me inside the match without anyone else, timer stopped and all.

I noticed I did get the achievement when the gerent was on phase 3 (not dead yet) but when I did it in nuhoch lane we killed it too fast and we didn’t get credit for it.

Many of these effects can be a laggy connection. I remember once playing with someone sitting next to me. But instead of gliding like on his screen, he was randomly hopping/teleporting every second without a visible glider. Screams hack, but was really just some weird lag issue.

I also managed to run through a boulder in the wintersday puzzle completely unscathed. Didn’t kick or damage me. And I always see people coming out of nowhere or jumping onto invisible snow flakes in that puzzle. I’d say most of it are just effects related to lag.

It’s easy to tell when it’s lag and when they’re cheating. The thing here is if the Anet is aware of that and working it or not. My guess is not since there have been 3 people doing it on my map all day.

You know it’s OP when you have 2-3 dragon hunters on each team. Just compare number of core specializations vs elites. On one side, Cogbyrn is right, it came out recently so everyone might be just trying it, but in time the numbers won’t change if there is no balance patch, that’s for sure. Just try to beat any decent player running elite specialization while you’re running core.

Okay so I was missing the frog hero points despite the map telling me that it was another I was missing. You’re right.

Yeah, stuck at 98% because of this glitch.

Didn’t repair my client, but it’s working for me now. Maybe it was on the server side?

I wasn’t having issues before the patch, but ever since then I haven’t been able to play with the 2 characters I’ve been using the most this week.

Agreed, either buff core or nerf Elites, cause the difference in pvp is huge.

I used to play with 200 average and that was normal for me. But going from 200 to 350-450 average makes it imposible to play, specially if it’s not consistent I can’t even estimate the time I need to press my skill buttons. I know my gf’s been having the same problem and it did start about 2 weeks ago.

FrizzFreston.5290:

One fail and the boss is broken? Gee, haven’t you played it when it first came out? Failing for weeks! Never gave up on that.

Anti faceroll elitism? Some of us prefer to play an actual game rather than something like push the button. I would say that facerolling everything makes up for a very bad game. Some more complicated gameplay while not increasing the difficulty would be great.
That plus Tequila has been designed to be around this difficulty. Hasnt been part of the faceroll train for ages.

It’s not one fail, I haven’t been able to beat it ever since they doubled the HP, and it’s not a change in mechanics where you’d expect fails and try stuff out, you can’t do anything when there’s simply not enough dps in your map. Now, if critical hits were working like they SHOULD BE, it’d be a different story. Cause trying to hit beneath the head/neck is suicide

And crits remain to be seen…

I recently noticed that I can hit up to 3 mobs at the same time using my greatsword, instead of 5.
Anyone else having that issue?

Just opened on Sorrow’s furnace.
