    new hack being used.

    5/18 on Connery, around 2 PM MST.

    All players, all factions, instantly commit suicide on foot, vehicles, etc, at least hex wide.

    Suspected player is Vanu at time of hack use. Players noticed (TR and NC fights far from VS territory) appearance of 1-2% VS pop in our fight when it happens.

    Suspected player (VS) was at Eisa Tech Plant, Esamir, at 2:23 PM PST

    The Vanu Player moved over to Mani Biolab (Connery Server) around 3:30 CST and advertised a website, as well as using the hack there.

    The player (and supposed hacker since there was only 5% Vanu) went by the name of "blackgoy"

    Both TR and NC players as well noticed the Vanu Presence. After about 20 minutes of so, he left Mani Biolab.

    I also have video footage. (coming shortly)

    this **** is seriously game breaking, and has to be sorted fast. Also, statpadders will rage the skin off their body

    I'm entirely sure it's coming from a player, or a group of players, as I just witnessed the line of extinction follow me intelligently, lol. Jumping around doing evasions seems to have cut it for me for a while, but it later came back for my Sunderer, additionally killing a Magrider in the process.

    Happening right now, Mao Southeast Gate, Connery.

    Happened yesterday afternoon on Emerald at Eisa tech. Funny that a player named "Blackgoy" was brought up, because I caught a hacker streaming proof with target overlays and damage modifier, by the name of "BlacksRgross" the other night!

    UPDATE: System message was just posted in game that said hacker had been dealt with.

    Cool. While at banning people, can you guys sweep active padders on Connery?
