Hacker found - Video proof

I have no control over this vid and the character names are all visible, but not in vid-title. Hope I'm not in trouble for this...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs8u_MBqk08

As you can see, BLM gets out of reach/invisible. BLM can target us but we can't target the BLM. This is clearly not a bug but intentional hacking (or whatever it's called).

EDIT: The same person appeared in the next fight I was in as well. Did the same thing there apparently, though I did not see it.

That BLM.. Taking the class achievement "Bring Out Your Dead" to a whole new level.

this happened during slaughter aswell fairly often

Holy crap dude

Report him hella quick

But one problem how will se report him? His name is blackmage not his real name.. And im sure flames have a ton of black mages

Maybe like SE can go into the coding and find out? Jesus christ, that is a creepy hack

Imho no wonder PvP in this game is an afterthought, if cheats like that work they got some serious security issues with their game. This video makes me think of other things as well, if wall/memory hacking is possible then how do you know people aren't using this to exploit other content. A simple thing that comes to mind is duping expensive stuff to sell on the MB.

I really do hope there's some security in this game otherwise this is a joke.

I think what they did is clipped themselves underground. That way, they can see through the ground and target people but can be seen/targeted.
The Devs needs to find out how they got underground and fix it.

I remember that name i got him in my team today,he kept goin to enemy nodes solo and i found it strange how he wasnt getting murdered.this explains it

It used to be that if you did an emote at someone it would come up with their name in the text log, did they fix that? if not you can get their name that way

You know it's people like that that are the reason I have never even tried PvP in this game. Which sucks cause there are some really nice glamour pieces I'd like from doing it but what's the point if there's people like that in there?

Hope you have a better time OP & he gets banned >_<

Nope! Still works. OP shouldve tried that now that I think about it.. They couldve easily gotten the hacker banned.

The character name is there, just not very obvious. If any SE moderators reads this and put any effort on finding out, they will find him. Otherwise I know who it is, but how would I go about reporting? Tried to search for a way but found none.

EDIT: And the game is not available to me now so can't do it via ingame.

His d'c is mostly a part of the game not allowing him to clip.
Also, He's using a known bot, and there is only 1 that clips.

As for the cheating happening in PvP, I see people use Sprint+1 often almost 1/1 in every game. Always 1, usually a mage or a warrior.

And SE will never do anything about this, in FFXI it's a given that everyone cheats and it is acceptable, even preferred.

I'm still waiting for someone to use the clipping tool to capture nodes while underneath them. Instead of trolling for kills someone could get first claims on all nodes and harass with taking them down without harassment (underground of course).

Ban hammer these mofos, please SE. >.>

This is the 2nd video proof + thread of hacking in less than 10 days. Something needs to be done.

Maybe if he sees this thread he will report himself?

It looks like what bots use to farm as gatherers. I once saw a mining bot popping under the map whenever it would be done with a node.

Sad and pathetic.

how is sprinting cheating???

Sprint+1 is perma sprint. Or rather, the ability to sprint while Heavied. With the blessings of "Leviathan" they don't need any "Help" chasing of kiting anyone.

I'm confused. Sprinting while under heavy doesnt make you run any faster at all. Sprinting is a god send to pvp. Would you rather walk away from them and get killed?

Perma sprint and sprinting while heavied are two completely different things.

Perma sprint= Run forever without slowing down

Run while heavied= Slow running

Sir, the actual tool references it as Sprint at the value of 1. Most run it at Sprint+1(or at the setting of 2).
So I am referencing SPRINT+1 because they are either in PERMA SPRINT or SPRINT+1 (because the actual SPRINT skill when activated can move it to the (2) value range.

As for the Heavy notation, at the value of 1+Sprint skill. The debuff Heavied = Sprint speed.

You can see the name of an opposing faction by typing /echo <t> while having them targeted
I guess that would not work if you cannot target them at all, but I think it would show up in the battle log too.

I'm truly enjoying that there have been two video proof threads of confirmed hacking, one involving a clear as day No-clip exploit, and yet there has been no response by the Dev's. It's stuff like this that makes the PvP community feel so loved lol.

You can go to youtube and find all the ways to get underground there. There are tons of videos that show players going off grid so to speak and how they do it. All SE would have to do is a simple google search and then add and invisible wall to the next update.

These scum cheaters use programs that allow them to run at all times and usually at a speed much faster than even a chocobo can run. It's disgusting and completely unacceptable.

That's not what this is at all. The (banned) program these cheaters use allows you to fall through ALL scenery, no matter where you are. For example, they can stand BENEATH the floor in Alexander & hit the boss but nothing can hit them. They can walk through barriers, float high in the sky and other nefarious stuff.

So, in other words, it's a speed multiplier variable. Gotcha.

There is no place for this I hope this person is found and banned asap, this reminds me of a lala whm in slaughter that could double/triple fluid aura you from the middle of the map off the edge in 1 shot. Never saw him again

This is a great example.
Think of it like flying in Diadem, where you can sac monsters and with a little bit of range hold them while flying.

Practiced in reverse, a whole entire team of ranged dps can in theory drop below the ground and clear it w/o ever taking any damage.

Ah Ok, I have just seen ppl use pieces of the map or things onscreen to push against allowing them to do the same thing, drop down thru the maps and attack from below or access other areas you normally couldn't.

woah that is crazy.

Ughe, this really isn't cool. Cheaters ruin it for everyone else, luckily I haven't seen one in a FL (yet)

This particular person has even "outed" themselves in the comments on the YouTube video. They seem really proud of the fact they are cheating. My pee boiled so loudly I began to whistle when the "reply to comment" notification appeared. >.<

you should probably see a doctor about that

I had a long reply typed out but decided to delete it as I'd probably be the one to suffer from a ban as a result. I wouldn't give you the satisfaction.

i dont see how you can type a long reply other than "hah thats a joke about urine being at boiling temperature, its obviously not good for your health"

why do you think you being banned would satisfy me, wtf

To the people who understand how this cheat works, can you provide an example of how the SE can stop it?
For example I remember a lalafel during secure that basically with any step did a 10-20yalm distance and he was always damned behind you and sleeping you, after they introduced the forced dc once the position from your pc and the server can't be paired (I usually lag a bit and so I dc sometimes when I ride a mount -.-, but ok) or something similar.
So is there any easy way to check that all the character are not under the groundline or something similar?

It's not up to us to provide an example of how SE can stop this. noclip has been going on forever and god knows why Square hasn't done shit about it yet.

probably somethingsomething ps3 limitations somethingsomething no server space

My purpose is not to help the SE to find a solution, honestly I think they can have a clearer vision of how the software work and so do what it's needed, but I was just curious to know if someone know if it is an hard solution problem or SE just dont' think that it is so problematic for player and dont' act.
