Return of Reckoning

I'm not entirely sure about this matter, but I like to share it with you guys and hear your opinion.

I know DCs in scens due to server-lags are nothing new or special in WAR and usually i wouldn't pay attention to it, but what happened to our grp the last few days was more than Strange, so to say.

We play Destro usually in a premade with changing setups and since couple of days, every time we encounter a certain other (order) premade, at least one of our groupmembers is having a Disconnect out of nothing.
It's like, we play 10 Scens without any trouble or DC (besides minor lags maybe), then when we encounter this premade and by the first inc, one of us have a DC and is out of the SC and that every f-ing time! After that everything is fine, until we encounter this premade and again one of us get a disconnect, right at the first inc.

Again, I'm not talking about Situations, when a keep is being zerged by one side and the server performance drops significantly. In all Situations I'm referring to, none of us had any kind of lags before or after.
This happened to us now on several days with different setups and now we try to wrap our heads around it. We asked other destro premades to observe this and share their experience with us and that's what i like to ask you guys too.

I know from other mmos, who had troubles with so called "sniper-hacks" and I guess my question is: Is something like that, possible in WAR?

Please share you experience and pretty please no name calling or flamewar here, there is an advice-channel for that kind of stuff.


Edit; typos and my terrible english

I've been getting a whole bunch of disconnects recently, dunno why.

technically its possible to spoof the ip of other players and then ddos that player.

but i doubt someone would put that much effort in a f2p game where nothing counts anyway?

It's random, I'm a t1 junkie and this happens to me all the time.

That's what I tought the first couple of times, but than I realized it' happends near always when we encounter certain premade and it's not happening all the time randomly.

I tought more of a macro-programm or macro-keyboard/mouse and spamming an anytimer.
It's the kind of DC similar to the DC you got, when an entire zerg is stomping over you.

You can ask the same question about people gold-duping or speedhacking on a f2p-privatserver.
It's a PVP game and unfortunately pvp brings always the ugly face of gamers out.

Well, if you knew that a certain action causes a certain major error, you might be able break someone's connection. There are still enough bugs in this code to accomplish this. Wouldn't happen to know any example, though.

I feel your pain, there are days when I don't use any potions because of the high numbers of DCs I get. But that's not the case here, as I mentioned before this happend in a time when there was no lag befor or after the encounter.

i didn't hear about that yet. must be the same phenomenon than the "dps lag" caused by Sealclubbers. Probably it is because the guy crashs himself to avoid dying in a PvP game more than one time. nothing new for beWARe. i mean you guys love the guards and the warcamp. there are a lot of ppl who crashes the game when CHCH or focussed. i'd not be surprised at all if your guild would use that "feature" too tbh!

Funny how you came out of your dirt hole, mud throwing, even when I didn't mentioned your name.
Not sure if your'e feeling guilty and try to smoke' nade this or just the usual stupid flame only you are capable of.

TBH, I don't even care little man...
