remylion Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) In PvP I just watched a sniper use a speed hack and teleport hack. I was told these were not possible but the guy was traveling at beyond normal speeds the whole game. This was not a short burst of Cover, Countermeasure speed or lag and I was able only to follow him around because of my dots. He also teleported on top of the middle turret multiple times. Not the node you activate to capture the turret, he was on top of the turret structure when we started to get him low on health. This is not a bug report or a cheat report. This is a discussion that such cheats are possible. Edited March 21, 2023 by remylion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardrossan Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 GSF, SS, a couple days ago, in a starship graveyard deathmatch, I saw a gunship player who could phase in and out of the wreckage without any visible means of getting through. The wreckage can be a good place to hide normally, but this was different. I can count the number of times i've seen a genuine hack (and not just bads complaining) on one hand.

xordevoreaux Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Maybe it's just desync? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortenJessen Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I have my self only 3 times seen real hacks. All 3 times in Alderaan map. One player would be at the middle and capping from the very second the gates went down. So hacks do exist. All 3 times most other players simply quit the match in disgust though. Eidt: Although I suspect having seen it a fourth time, in a 4 vs 4, where one player simply could not take damage, no matter what we did to him/her. We lost in 3 rounds, but even the acid did nothing to him/her, when he/she was the sole survivor in round 2 (we lost 1 and 3) from his/hers team. It is hard to prove because suddenly he/she just melted from full to 0 hp in a second. We suspected his/hers teammates might have told the person to call it quit before it got too suspect.

Not saying you didn’t see it because it’s most certainly possible & has been recorded over the years. But you may not realise there are 2 speed boosters in the Alderran Map that respawn a lot. Snipers also have a teleport now that they can choose to add into their build. Not that many do because it’s now a choice & not standard ability. They also have built in speed boosts they can also choose as part of the build too. Lastly, Marauders have a group speed boost called predation. If the player you saw looked like they were speeding all match, it’s possibly a combination off these things happening. Remember, Snipers do the most damage while in cover. A good sniper or one in a pre-made with a marauder & on comm’s, can time when they move to take advantage of all the mobility options. But if you really think you saw a speed & teleport hacker, the best thing to do is report it. Here is a link on how best to report it. This is the preferred way because you can also provide screen shots or video evidence this way. https://forums.swtor.com/topic/881858-how-to-report-cheating-and-win-trading/#comment-9408450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kept up the speed the whole game and would teleport on top of the turret on mid where no one could reach him then teleport back to the ground and start attacking and running around. We had him marked and I could follow him through the walls by watching my dots tick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be excellent footage to give BioWare & it would be entertaining to have seen that. As destructive as hacking can be in the game, I’m always amazed when I watch them do it.

I saw my dots suddenly coming from above me and ran out to see the sniper sitting on top of the turret. I didn't even think of capturing video or screenshots as everyone on our team was talking about him teleporting and running around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it happens again, try recording or at least get their name & guild to report to BioWare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnAskham Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 They were totally playing the game legit, just like the credit sellers offering a billion for a little over a dollar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth__Payne Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I've seen a sniper do this before in pvp. Really weirded me out. Also frustrated me because he was basically unkillable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
