sounds like the lag hack from days on old...u used to see it all the time in huttball...player starts to flicker then reappears miles from where they started...its an engine weakness that is exploitable and definitely falls into the 'intentional cheating' category edit: the OP's topic not the odessen one

its hillarious to read these responses and the utter assumption i have no idea what im talking about...i have played since beta...have every single sith class (yeah i have a maur, jugg, pt, bh, sin, inq, op, sniper...etc...) all at cap and all pvp as their primary lvling mechanism and then futher play at cap for funish...nothing u say here is relevant to me and yeah i can identify the diff between a jug tank speed buffing his whole team and maur with his speed buffs going vs a true speed hack... a good example of the naive attitude about pvp hacks is some player in the forums stated he had never seen hacking except for operatives rolling twice in a row..and he attributed it to positional lag..now we all know that all operatives can as a class feature roll twice in a row with a 10sec cd...so pardon me while i dont give a **** about his opinio

yeah the OP most likely did fall off the pipe...since i play jug, maur, and PT i have never bounced off anyone...but i have encountered all manner of cheats, exploits, and most likely hacks (most via cheat engine)...and ur broken *** arguement of 'wheres ur proof' is just the main weapon in the arsenal of the deniers...where is ur proof that hacking DOESNT go on... and no the amount of allegations USED to outnumber the actual amount when this game was vibrant and alive and regularily policed...but since im seeing the same people doing the same **** over and over i realized that the mods simply dont care/cant care/or dont have the ability to care about pvp anymore and even in the 'good ol days' cheating went on with no punishment...who hasnt played huttball in the old days and didnt see the rubber banding exploit done time after time after time...i have witnessed everything this game has to offer in regards to pvp content and i can say with absolute certainty that it does go on and no one gets punished for it anymore

actually i find that most people who are saying hacking doesnt exist are the very people running speed hacks and such...makes more sense for them drum up conspiracy theory bs...in life the people most in denial about a subject are most likely to be the ones doing it...hacks and cheats exist and since swtor is a dying game the mods and devs dont do squat about it...u see it in pvp all the time the whole get gud thing is just cheat speak for "Lulz i just pawned u with my hack and there is nothing u can do about it"

hacking has been an issue in this game for a long time...plenty of deniers who, as someone pointed out, are doing it for various reason...i think most fall into two categories 1- those who are naive/ignorant 2-those who hack to boost their skills and muddy the waters the problem with hacks is that once you have seen them you begin to start to suspect everyone who does something out of the norm...skill becomes synonymous with hacking after a while...its a disease and on the harbinger server that disease is very real and very destructive...i played this game in beta and onward since then...i have quit playing 3-4 times for extended periods of time because pvp just wore me out...and every time i return there they are again...the names change, the guilds change but the attitudes and the people doing it are the same...i was there for the 'hax' named guilds and players (a few of them are still around though its rare to see them anytime but on weekends and usually late at night) ive seen speed hacks, wall hacks, tele-hacks (void star was a notorious wz for that), invisible capping hacks, toons that are invisible save for their guns (i just saw two of them yesterday)...but by far the most destructive are the ones u cant see...the guys who run their damage say 5% higher and their defenses the same...how can u separate them from the actual good players...well the only way is to pvp your *** off...get geared...and learn your toons...once u get there u realize that guy that you always thought was just a plain ****** beyond calculation was probably just cheating ive read this entire post and this wall-o-text is my only response to it...yes hacking exists....yes it ruins pug-unranked pvp...yes skill does exist...and yes a premade will always beat a pug all things being equal...and yes plenty of people to this day still deny it...all evidence to the contrary.... why do they do this you decide

thanks a bunch!

is there anyway to see allied players health?...and what is the defualt c key...i have extensively remapped mine...third what is the v-auto roll used for?

yeah pvp in this game is a crapshoot...u either get full sync drop pm's with hacks running aplenty (you can tell those easily enough at the end when the opposing team has like 1 death lol)...every once in a blue moon if u play at the correct times u can get an honest match that is a test of skill not website and it is getting horrible in GSF since so few people play...gunships with no cooldown and instant power up...aim enhancers...GCD enhancers...they really like those... makes missiles worthless its a shame bioware doesnt do squat about it....i reckon there isnt much they can do with the current setup...but what is really frustrating is that they allow pvp to influence conquest... i keep hoping these little f###s will get bored and move on...but i can only assume that their life sucks so much that griefing gives them a sense of selfworth...or the pressure to win is so great they dont care...either way it is laughable when those people try to insist there is no hacking/exploiting/cheating going on is swtor...the louder they cry the higher probability they are....what is really cool is when the 'good' players chime in and are themselves nothing but hack bots...

lol....the problem is there is just no way to know...and no i dont need a comp...i have one...and pls dont try to pretend that in voidstar since the launch of this game there havent been 'exploits' to walk past the screens and cap....and it still hasnt been fixed and whether or not pm's hax or not is irrelevant to the fact that they are the single biggest cause of problems in unranked pvp...or should i say farm pvp... pm's should be exclusive to ranked ques...because getting farmed by voip/and party balance is boring as ****...the fact they may or may not be hacking just adds salt to the wound...

yeah pretty much im seeing premades in non-ranked games doing...well *********** amazing ****...i mean its almost as if they are cheating...but no that isnt possible is it?...i mean this problem has been in the game since launch but so long as the cheats are kept to pvp and not pve bio wont do **** about it... and all the saints that scream to the high heavens how there is no cheating in swtor...well lets just say i would check their accounts first if bio really wants to get rid of cheats in pvp and pls dont come off saying anything different...i have seen people go through walls...shoot through walls....just run a little bit faster and hit just a little bit harder...cheating is an ongoing issue in swtor and it has been for years now

did ask in general...got no response so i hit the forums

anyone know command for fps?

just returned and was wondering what the best pve server for pvp imp side is?....

premades are a huge advantage in pvp....so much so that running pugs is a losing proposition...and it all boils down to one major advantage and one huge advantage...voice comms and group selection... i cant tell you how many times i have been in pugs with no heals....or too many heals...or some other horrible mix...in premades that isnt a problem...u select your groups based on gear and class...pugs u get what you get.... voicecomms allow for ff of units...response times that dont rely on typing and people reading chat....and a level of cordination and awareness that isnt possible via keyboard these two advantages take subpar players and turn them into gods...and it simply isnt good for the game...and the solution isnt 'join a group'...because many if not most players simply want to play pvp with the expectation af winning at more than 10% solution: force premades of more than 2 people to play ranked (that way you can still play with a buddy and not feel all alone...a carrot as i prefer complete pugs vs complete pugs only)....those premades that troll unranked for whatever reason (mostly they cant hack it in ranked) will be forced to either join the ranked que or play at the same disadvantage as everyone else...and for crying out load...2014 and sync dropping is still an issue...lets at a minimum remove that feature....otherwise why limit premades at all?

scariest moment: at the moment toth and zorn are killled (in 16HM) and u get ready to celebrate only to realize both tanks are dead and all of the raid that is left are 2 healers and and a couple of dps...and battle rez is on cool down
