Glitchy players

[genak138 950]

I was in an Island CP, and I noticed something weird. I could not see two of the enemy teammates! I could see them at the beginning, but they later disappeared. They were both hornets, one firebird, one freeze. They weren't just paused, they were invisible. I could tell because the last enemy was an isida, and I kept getting frozen or heated. Also, the bar that says who killed who kept saying that those invisible players were killing me. There was only one way I could tell they were shooting when they were. Whenever, they were shooting, a stream of ice/fire would stream out of an invisible turret, but only in one spot! The streams would never move, yet I would still take damage. I tried to get some screenshots, but none of them showed the problem well. Could you please explain to me how this happened? Thanks :)

 this seems to be a hack

Such a problem normally occurs with PING lag but only at the start; when a player enters without completely loading some bits/parts of the battle.

 

Since you could see them in the start but later on they disappeared, you might have encountered some hackers as it isn't possible for it to happen out of the blue during a battle.

 

Did refreshing help?

That happened to me too, long time ago. I was getting killed from nowhere.

I even tried to report them, no way... (screens doesn't show what is happening)

But after I refreshed the page, everything was ok (not counting the problem, that during the invisibility opponents took many flags - even flags became invisible)

PS: However other strange thing happened: when my teammates got killed the flag returned automatically, and not the way: "someone" has returned emeny flag, but: enemy flag returned (like hack, maybe just invisible tank)

I forgot to refresh...

I had this same problem with my alternate a long time ago, but the hacker was on the other side of the map! :blink:

I think it was some sort of lag now. Sometimes I try to pick up a drop box right as a lag starts, and then I can't pick up that drop box at all, but I can pick up others. I think maybe I lagged a bit right as they were close to dying, that's why their streams of ice and fire were in the same place, and... yeah.

So problem: Already stated. 

Solution: Probably reloading. 

This topic should probably now be closed :)
