REAL CHEAT INVISIBLE

[Scubatropin]

SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT THERE WAS A [D-O-W] (DOGS OF WAR CLAN) CHEATER IN LEVEL 1 TODAY, HE EVEN BRAGGED ABOUT IT, HIS SHIP WAS CLOAKED FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE GAME - HE WAS RIGHT ON TOP OF ME - NEVER SAW HIM ALL HE DID WAS BRAG THAT I COULDN'T SEE HIM. SO TROLLS SAY WHAT YOU WILL BUT THIS WAS A REAL THING TODAY AND I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

Ok, I'll say this:

Replay or it didn't happen.

Game automatically makes replays of all your recent matches and stores them in your game's "Replays" sub-folder: So there is zero reason not to upload the replay for us to verify what you're saying.

www.replayswows.com < upload it there and link it.

And before you come up with some BS excuse not to do so like "I lost it" - if the problem were genuine, you could simply keep playing until you run into it again and then upload *that* replay.

What a goofy clan, all Tier I'ers.

This is what's called a seal clubber, someone who knows the game and gets a kick out of torturing new players.

Which he did to you. He just knows the game better than you do.

Pretty sure the OP's just a troll.

Last time he was lying about "shooting through mountains" and refusing to provide a replay.

He's the guy that wanted the game the be Pay-To-Win because he thought he could buy being top tier and was upset that he couldn't; and then repeatedly said he was going to get the "FTC" to take legal action against the game.

I vaguely remember a similar user making the same complaint about "invisible ships" and swearing blind that it wasn't the detection mechanics, nor a problem with his installation, that was causing it.
No replay was provided then, either.

Replay or it never happened! really easy to get BTW

[Banzai]

He posted in all capitals so it must be true.

As above, by all means provide a replay. Spotting and detection is dealt with server side btw which makes what you are describing incredibly unlikely.

And "Bragging about it?," please. Don't you think of a player was called out for cheating there'd be a strong temptation to just roll with it? Knowing WG won't do anything about it since they're not? This is ridiculous.

Replay or it didn't happen.

WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR POST REPLAY....

Friendly reminder. This is a FORUM, not a COURT. So everybody can say WHATEVER they want to say. Presentation of evidence is not required.

If someone is making outlandish claims of this sort then proof is very much required if they want to be taken seriously, not least because if such a bug (or hack) actually exists then its in every players best interests for it to be verified and dealt with.

Worth noting that the OP has made similar claims in the past, again without providing any evidence. And of course he can say what he wants and isnt obligated to provide replays, but without that evidence the obvious and reasonable reaction will be "I dont believe you".

The point of a forum is to have discussions, what's the point of trying to have a discussion without any kind of evidence, More so when the claim is "The game is full of cheats and hacks"

If it were a court, there would be punishment or a fine involved and you'd be trying to prove innocence.

Required to post? No, it is indeed not.
Required to be taken seriously? It very much is! No one here told the OP to gtfo. They asked for evidence for his claim so it could actually be discussed.

To be fair, many of the Cheater Sessions keep generating Corrupted Replay Files.
I know, I've had to submit a couple recently, and the response I got back was, the File is Corrupted, and is thus, unwatchable.

I know that there have been a few instances with issues occurring with Matches recently, since something got broken in the Update 0.14.1.0 Release. Not seen any Invisible Ships this time, but have had a few that Dodge Fish that somehow phase through them. I did submit the Replay Files to WarGaming, but they said the Files got Corrupted, so the Client can't play them back. Now I got a back and forth of Diagnostics and blah blah.

I know that the PTE Server sees many Hackers trying to test out their Hacks ahead of time, only for the Developers to Patch them same Hacks just prior to release.



In an ideal world, the Replay File would be presented. However, if that File has been corrupted, I know that I wouldn't be surprised, as I know I've had 4 Corrupted Replay Files in as many days. Even one that I didn't suspect any Cheating in, and I did really well in, turned out as a Corrupted File, so I couldn't watch my really good match.

Side Note though, if the Guy was Bragging about it, I know I'd have Screenshots of that S###, I'd take joy in Shaming that F###er all over Steam, and see how fast he gets a VAC Ban. Thus, another Cheater would bite the dust.

Pro Tip for catching Cheaters in the act:
Screenshot Key = F12

That doesn't do anything. I've seen people claiming to cheat when accused of it just to annoy the accuser. Near as I could tell they weren't. One person I knew did stuff like that just to ruffle feathers. I was divisioning with him and I am certain he wasn't. These people just knew game mechanics and/or got lucky with a good shot. Cheating is practically impossible in this game. Not exactly impossible, but extremely difficult.

Replay would be better than a screenshot most of the time. For example an invisible ship is just concealed by something. A screenshot won't show anything, but a replay would show who was doing it and then presumably, if it's in question, WG could take action.
