cyxish.1384 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Hello, I have no idea what is going on, so I recorded it: He's basically, in loop, going invisible - dying - respawning at the same place. This happens at several places at the same time. Guy from my team is attacking him, even when I don't see him and I don't think I can hurt him when I am using AoE spells. I am not sure if these people are associated, because it was happening even before my teammate was there. E: Yes, I can indeed damage him, it's basically free participation (and weekly/daily achievement for defending keep) right at EBG gate E2: right now this bot (same character) is on every tower on EBG at the same time Edited July 19, 2023 by cyxish.1384 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more likely to be position-hacking (teleporting). The marked-effect itself is also an indicator that they're teleporting to somewhere, where they get marked, and it´s an effect that can only be obtained from 5 sources: sentries, recently flipped keeps, target-painter, target-painter trap, and watchtower. So unless you put a target-painter/-trap there, they probably TP'd somewhere, as they would´ve been revealed after 1 second if they stealthed. 1 hour ago, cyxish.1384 said: E2: right now this bot (same character) is on every tower on EBG at the same time that´s basically the confirmation that they don´t go invis, but teleport-hack instead.

Chaba.5410 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hacker. Probably doing that to keep the structure contested so no one can use the waypoint. Please send to anet. Also as others mentioned, remove the names. It's against forum policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy from my server Guy from enemy server E: Yes, I can indeed damage him, it's basically free participation (and weekly/daily achievement for defending keep) right at EBG gate E2: right now this bot (same character) is on every tower on EBG at the same time Teleport hack. Not sure on botting. Also there is a questionable green port in your sample (between 0:53-:054) as well besides the toon that may just be afk that was reported. The reason I say not botting is they didn't follow a pattern as much, or the sampling was too short to catch one. Don't think the goal was for participation since they weren't actually doing anything to gain wxp that would extend that, that applies to both the target porting in and the afk player that was standing there who wasn't being hit. I would WP contention, but there isn't one since its a T2. So goal? Practice with a teleport hack, general griefer? Hard to tell. Good catch though.

cyxish.1384 Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 He was actually teleporting between our keep and all other towers (and who knows where) - you could kill him over and over again to get participation, or achievement for defending objective + loot. He was doing it for at least an hour. He also spawns healing and rifle turrets that are "friendly" so you can't attack them. 0:53-0:54 is weird, maybe he's doing it on our server too?

MedievalThings.5417 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) The engineer that was enemy didn't spawn the friendly turrets. There is also a HOPE guild engi from your team doing the exact same thing as the enemy one. Which is why, near the end of the video, you see 2 teleport hackers briefly. Probably the same person controlling both accounts though. Now we patiently wait for the experts to chime in with "the guy was just using rocket boots".

MedievalThings.5417 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Sadly, I wish this was an isolated incident, but it isn't. This is the type of stuff we have been talking about for years, that tons of people say we aren't seeing. I literally see stuff like this every single day, and I play wvw 7 days a week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loctar.3987 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I personally reported this several times, and several other things, but no one ever answered me, I also asked here in the forum, the same with no response from arenanet. it's like buy gems, buy skins, buy other expansions, but mainly they don't want anything from us 🤮 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verungi.4396 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I also saw something exactly like this on desert borderland today. There were two places, at Stoic Ramparts south outer gate and Osprey's Palace north inner gate. Two different accounts (blocked and reported both, for what it's worth): one was a Piken Square player (the same account name as in your video btw), the other from Aurora Glade (guild tag was [HOPE]... quite a coincidence). Edited July 20, 2023 by Verungi.4396 remembered AG player's guild tag thanks to Ubi's post above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
