FAO: Scerus and his cheats

[Aoln]

Today i was playing my Paladin in Thidranki ( Fonzy ) and came across a ranger named Scerus who was a blatent user of some sort of cheat/hack.

Several times i was shot by him and when using /face he turned out to be on the other side of a wall, hill or other obstical that has LOS.

Im not the only one to be a victim of this, also i was grouped with an Armsman at one point who was also attacked through one of the large stone pillars seen in a screenshot below.

My accusations are not without evidence but unfortunately they didn't come out as a clear as i hoped due to a the slight delay on taking screen shots, here are the only attacks i managed to record (not very well ) although there were other events.

http://loe.effectus.dk/Aoln/Sce1.jpg - This 1 lagged and failed to take with Scerus in view, although he was on the other side of the pillar on the left.

http://loe.effectus.dk/Aoln/Sce2.jpg - Here you can see me being hit by the arrow
http://loe.effectus.dk/Aoln/Sce3.jpg - And here you can see Scerus running away after shooting it through the hill.

Myself being an archer i know that if u can get the arrow prepared while the character is in sight then it will fire through, ignoring the LOS, but this was not the case here.
With the attack in the first screenshot he fired 2-3 arrows through the wall by standing in the same spot behind the pillar, with Smashzor also being a witness of what happened (hopefully has some sceenshots of his own that are also more clear than mine)

These were not the only attacks made upon me, I will report this to rightnow and also hope that you stop being so lame as to using such tactics in thidranki.
If anyone else has any screens of this please send it to me

Aoln, tbh I don't think that this is a cheat or a hack, I think that it's just a bug because I have got a hunter and if a member of the enemy realm shows him/her self and then runs behind an object eg. wall or hill, I am still able to shoot them once so long as I loaded my shot and was ready to fire before they ran behind the object. You might just want to say something on RightNow, In my view the ranger has done nothing wrong, unless he targeted you behind the object and just unloaded a lot of arrows into you.

i suggest you read his post again... he already stated that he knows when u load an arrow with a char in your LOS then they move out of LOS, you will still fire the shot.
I think what hes trying to say, is taht he was never in LOS, when the ranger loaded his bow, and shot multiple times.

The screenies might not be perfect... but it certainly shows enough to make u think something cant be right.

it might jsut be lag... but it doesnt seem that way at first glance

I saw somethign very strange just a few seconds ago, also involving scerus.. I was shot by him several times whilst running away from a hunter pet, turned round and couldn't see him at all.. Assumed it was LoS again, until a giant wolf seemingly aggrod something invisible, and proceeded to run right upto me. I got spam emssages saying the giant wolf was hitting scerus, but he was not visible to me still. He must have run right over me with a giant wolf hitting him and not getting uncovered at all.. Are you sure he wasn't this side of the pillars in your SS aoln and just perma invisible?

Doesn't show much, but from my viewpoint, you see the giant wolf running away having walked over me. You can see the message saying he hit scerus, yet no scerus in view. I'd have put this down to lag usualy but the fact I had no connection problems on the perf metre at the time, and the already posted message made me a little suspicious. Kinda hard to tell what happened during the whole thing tbh. Shortly after this screenie was taken, a ranger appeared behind me but no idea if it was him or another. The giant wolf didn't turn and aggro this 'new' ranger who ran off and restealthed so I guess this was someone else. The wolf just continued to chase an invisible Scerus.

Anyone else seen anything dodgy from this guy?
