Runes of Magic US / AU

I have said this many times in the last 3 years, put ghost GM's or CM's in guilds that face those accused or presumed of doing it. See for themselves and ban them for 90 days and get it over with. They have complaints of players sending screenshots, fraps and nothing is being done. They would have sufficient proof when you see someone with no buffs whatsoever and run at super speed all the time. Die on our home side and 3 seconds later see them coming back to front gate loll.

But they don't have the time or will not do it, would stop a lot of QQ'ing about this issue. Also i love being killed by a level 50 toons with green and white gear in siege, it's awesome.

I don't do it very often, but Escape Artist + Mad Rush+3 + Spellweaver + Godspeed (HK pot) + Thunder Force + 10% Herald speed buff allows me to zip right along and outrun just about anyone or anything in siege. (Yes, they *do* stack, macro to call everything but Thunder Force FTW, baby!) I've caught up to and killed toons on Rune Disks who also have the 30% mount potion + Galloping Gale equipped. Pisses them off and causes them to call hax on me.

No, I don't play a Rogue. P/S all the way.

If you got killed by anything other than a bursting beetle, could you post a screenshot/video?

Lvl 50 will hardly be able to even hit a lvl 77 just because of the level difference.

I don't know why you guys can't deal with the guilds that cheat. When I see people speedhacking I find it mildly amusing. Same with castle jumping. I have yet to see a guild who cheated so hard core that it gave them enough advantage to win. Yet, I see al the same people on forums QQ relentlessly about how broken things are.

The only thing that's broken in siege is balance. Fewer than 5 guilds in siege are worth their salt. All other guilds are a steamroll.

Malignatus,

I am well aware and I use those pots/buffs the same as you do. It allows me to run fast, but once buff is over, I slow down to normal.

What we had in siege and what we see more and more is people running that fast without buffs. The way to do it is fairly simple and would someone with all those buffs and script to run all the time at that speed, without worry for time out. Of course, we are not allowed to spread knowledge about exploit, but at this moment it is more common knowledge, if you ask me.

What I wonder is - why has not been prevented/fixed yet. Should everyone be allowed to do it once opposing guild has done it - because at the moment those using this exploit have huge advantage in SW.

Are you aware that when a guild has a building called a "Stable" that entire guild gets a passive speed boost depending on the level of that stable?

Thus if your stables are lvl 4, and your opponants stables are lvl 7, they're going to be moving passively 15% faster than you at all times. Any speed boost they may have (20% herald speed boost, housemaid speed pot, thunder force, farm buff, etc, etc, etc till my eyes bleed) layer on top of that passive movement speed increase.

Consider this lesson free of charge.

There are a lot of things that are technically possible, maybe, but I don't see that they occur that way. Speed is one thing. Yes, one can hit high speed with preparation and macros. Doing it at spur of the moment in middle of combat? Over and over? For a long time? Not that likely.

There are many things that are possible to do. A scout can see me in hide, pass "target my target" to a nearby warden and that warden can have Chiron hit me. Having it done several times, with no scout I have seen (not that I really have time to survey everyone nearby and check their classes and levels), and I start suspecting some kind of shenanigans. Same for speed. Possible does not mean it is done that way. Yes you can be really fast, but not all the time and in circumstances we see, realistically speaking. Same for immunity. Someone can be immune in legit ways, but I see it too often, for no reason, and I smell a rat.

Edit:

P.S. Oh, and remember, kids, if you don't want fat trolls running around your threads, don't feed them.

What huge advantage? Speeding people die just like the rest.

Quoted from "RoMage;592412"

Speeding people are not affected by traps, its possible to come, shoot, move back with small lag that is sure death as well being able (almost like on mount) to outrun spells/shoots and be able to come behind at very fast rate... (should I continue??)

If is not being advantage, let's remove CD from pots and make them all 15 min pot that will not disappear on death.

Your problem is that you are getting 1 shot by the speeding people.
Stack more stam.

Quoted from "RoMage;592415"

No, I don't have a problem with being 1 shot. It's something you get used by being mage. I have a problem with folks exploiting game and ruining it imho.

Just as I said, it is global knowledge how its being done, it is possible to do it, and IT IS DONE. (in my opinion more and more)

I am sorry people are making it harder than it already is on you. Life of a mage in siege is very sad. Even if you are a 200k+ HP M/Wd.

I have no issues killing speeder on S/Wd because I will not be one-shot, lvl60 elite will most likely bind them, and charged-chop one-shots the speeder.

Well, I guess I haven't been facing the same guilds *you've* been facing, with players using a certain well-known-but-not-to-be-named 3rd-party program. In fact, I cannot recall facing such guilds or players within the past year or so. But then, I'm old, I've slept a few times, and I haven't yet found a *legal* way to be everywhere at once.

What I will say--and I think I mentioned it in a completely different thread--is that the first few times I used the skill and pots macro setup, several of my guildies gawped like proverbial fishies at just how fast they observed me moving. It's not that they were stupid (or stupefied; well, maybe just a little bit), it's just that they were ignorant of the skill and pot combinations. I zoomed from the left middle area to right middle, to assist in its defense--a relatively short distance, and there was time to spare on the skill/pot combos. It took all of 10 seconds to explain it over RaidCall, and I provided the macro I used at the time in RC's chat text area after siege.

I do know that yes, once the skill and pots wear off, I slow down to almost normal--TF is still usually in effect, presuming it was in effect at the time, and if not, I put on an Unbridled pot to help speed me up again.

Personally speaking, I believe the number of *true* cheaters in siege are far and few between. I also believe that players who see or experience things they don't competently understand are more likely to call "hax" than not. Two of my Rogue guildies were called hackers by our opponents in our siege last night, 03/10. They're not hackers, they're just well-equipped and very good at what they do. I don't need to name the guild, but they were from Palenque. They know who they are. We'd never faced them before. In the spirit of the "Good Siege" thread, they were pretty decent, had some well-geared and skilled players, and did show some good tactics at times. They played clean, and I look forward to facing them again some time.

Everyone likes to call speedhacks.. But the reality is ifntheyre actually using speedhacks to zoom ridiculously fast theyre not going to be able to keep tha up. Speedhacks WILL rubberband you and even STD you. I believe people are just liable to calling hacks without knowing anything.

I love being a m/wd and having 200k HP

m/md? never heard of it.
