Screw you. I am not defending it I am pointing out where you are exaggerating the effects of these things. Field hacks aren't even a hack anyone can change the artwork and last I checked it was legal to do so because it only effects what you see on your screen.
How does a "speedhack" help you take over the island in despise? Guard a faction base? And even if it lets a player run slightly (keyword) faster than another player... is not an advantage that will make or break the outcome of a fight.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahhaahahaahahahahahahahahahaha
The art hacks are superficial. They don't offer you any advantage other than a mental one. You still double click, mash buttons, target and everything the same with or with out them. If you really think it's that much of an advantage go do it (since you're not hacking anything and just changing the animations in the game) and I GUARANTEE YOU that you will still PvP the same and still die just as often.
It makes all the difference between a char living and dieing.
When a script runs all the processes where you don't even mash a button it is clearly an advantage over another player.
Actually there might be a cost effective way to address both. encryption of files and packets would probably knock out both.
Because you say so?
What?
And you'll still die just as often...
#1 - I know they've said they took measures to prevent speed hacks from working, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
I'll make this simple and even include an example:
Your fighting in despise and pushing onto the island. You really think your *disarm shield and chug* script is going to help you when your standing in your opponents poison fields, under the spell protection, casting essence of wind, whither, EQ or any other spell? I bet you'll come to appreciate the *You are busy doing something else* message you will repeatedly get because the script is running.
I'm here to get the people to wake the **** up regarding this "issue" of yours.
I'm glad you know so little about them, it shows you don't use them.
Just because a speed hack doesn't let you play in god mode doesn't make it okay to use. Even small advantages add up over time. The house advantage in blackjack is well under 1%, yet casinos make millions and millions of dollars each year off that small advantage.
Superficial huh? When was the last time you saw someone run over a candelabra or a bagball without using an art hack? When was the last time you saw someone lay perfect feilds from a screen away while other fields obscured the location being cast upon? I suggest you pull your head out of your ass, because these two alone have a huge effect on big fights. (FYI...Friday night I watched the same guy run though candelabras and bagballs...looks like an *interesting feature!*) BTW..this is the 4th time I have tried to explain this to you...*shrugs*
Perhaps you need to look at the big picture. In the above statement you say you have never cheated...which is very admirable. My problem with this statement is that you say in the first parragraph that such and such and such and such have no effect, but yet you really have no idea of this because you have never used it yourself or seen any of them used in an advantageous manner.
You are incorrect. Whle I do agree that practice makes you better, there are many situations in which others can achieve an advantage through cheats, client mods, and/or speedhacks. If you dont see the situations, chances are you arent really aware of your surroundings.
TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you know that every thing he said is a valid problem in PvP, is effective and possible, and needs to be fixed?
Well, the problem here Ender is that we are talking about an individual who says one thing and does another. He is against duping but asked in PMs with Beerman how it was done. He is against cheating, but when someone else complains about cheating (I am going to go ahead and *assume* the OP was talking about Doomsdays considering Doomsdays response to said post) he develops a complex. What is this world coming to?
*a tear forms in Omnicron's eye*How ignorant.
A speedhack will help someone during combat in these ways;
Their target has problems predicting their route when they spell dance, mana dance, escape or hunt them because they're skipping steps for them.
Target has much less chance of catching up with them in straight line runs.
They have a good chance of catching up and running faster than the target, giving them time to cast for example, when running straight lines.
A script can run very complex strings of actions combined together at the hit of a button, with the option to instantly cancel the actions or freeze them at any point to continue with another macro or just stop.
A script can also help them stay away from a melee character if they're a caster and vice versa.
There are scripts that can be set to ON or OFF at will, most notably "Medic" scripts, responsible for what appears to be UBER timing in potion chugging/healing/eating apples and whatnot/curing/using smoke bombs, Shuriken, Fukyia Darts, the whole deal of support actions.
There are other hacks which are most obvious but are more "damaging" like boosting casting speed, messing with the line of sight (Example: Someone's casting from behind a house on a target on the other side), accessing the bank box from anywhere etc. At some point people were able to wear 2 tunics, at another able to wear 2 of each jewel. I have SEEN this. Lots of crazy stuff. There was even a hack that made someone miss all the time against the player using it. I'm talking 100% miss, all shots, in a row, every time.
There are even hacks that indicate where a person is stealthing so the hacker can cling on to them. Pun intended, hackers are **** to me.
Then there's exploits like duping items and all. And let's not forget bots. And that's a summary of what used to be around- and about 80% of it still is around and works fine, at least the last time I checked.. Always on 2D.
Moreover remember than a tiny bit of "help" here, and a tiny bit there, end up making you invincible when they are added together.
So you might not defend or attack a hot-spot better directly by cheating but you will definitely have a far better chance of killing than being killed. Which eventually leads to you defending or attacking a hot-spot better, for the matter.. :loser:
And no, hacks that eliminate tree tops and all that are not SUPERFICIAL. Where is it easier to see the other person, their actions, what spells they might be casting etc? Obstructed by tree tops or in plain sight? Even this small thing gives an advantage.
See, assuming you are using it, you must be otherwise unable to focus on your target and combat and that might have cost you the fight. This cheat eliminates your PERSONAL SKILL disadvantage instead of you trying to improve. It's therefore CHEATING and the degree of it doesn't matter.
Those of you STILL ARGUING (FOR CRYING OUT LOUD) the very existence of cheats need their heads checked. And you're probably the same people who fell for the anti-PB propaganda. Or cheaters. Maybe just too ignorant.
Have I used a cheat? Yeah I have. Why? I was curious. Do I care to prove it? No I don't.
PB won't be implemented, EA does nothing but scrape off the most blatant and stupid cheats and people still dupe. 1-0. Nuff said.
As to what comp and connection I'm using, I've gone into detail in the past(as I have about my skills and items). And for the last months I've been running on 25 Mega kthxbye. Comp handles Crysis on Ultra High (DX10), 1680x1050. KR is flying on this machine. Face it, some people CHEAT in UO.
I'm not defending people who use cheats. What I'm saying in this thread is that cheating isn't the "advantage" people are claiming it to be. Having the devs waste resources and time on things that aren't really an issue solves nothing and it keeps our game broken and missing other things for even longer... things that actually matter.
This bit of craziness. INVINCIBLE!!!?!?!? He's lost his mind.
Read my last post above me as that's all I have to say about this. I do want to say something else though.
Are you ********?!?! You changing the way something LOOKS on your screen does not change the way your character interacts with it.
