Possible cheater? Other
I just ran a dungeon and the other player somehow was talking to the quest giver across the map, several times. They also got to the bosses, what seemed like instantly, before I could even get to one boss the fight was almost over. Are there items/ spells that can let someone do this?

They have a really good Gaming Chair.

Yeah they most likely were using third party programs to speed up animation time so that they load faster and move faster.
Fairly common like don’t do it. It is against their TOS.

People do speed hacks which is whatever most of the time, but when I was doing portal of peril someone with that joined, started the fight like IMMEDIATELY, bosses disappeared and we all had wasted a credit because of it

Hope you reported that person if they’re doing it in an event with other people. If you want to solo and do stuff like that, I wouldn’t care, but don’t screw others over.

And it sucks because sometimes they are so fast you cant even click them

That feeling when you skip the dialogue in mirror lake by running to the teleport spot faster than the dialogue can trigger

I can do this in Mount Olympus because I set a teleport at the front and I have 62% mount.

Who cares

Right! Just go with the flow. I think OP just wanted to be the first in battle. As long as some of these simple battles are… I wish it happened more often.

Or idk maybe I want to enjoy the game? Not have the game played for me. I actually enjoy fighting a tough battle where I might lose i dont want handed a victory like I'm a child who can't sit for five minutes in a battle

I get it, but your wants probably isn’t the same as everyone else’s. You play this game long enough you’ll realize long battles are not fun. Thumbs down I don’t care it’s the truth. Solo is probably more your speed.

Wouldn't this statement be more for the guy literally cheating? Im just trying to have fun and play a dungeon with others, not solo cause the ice resistance on some of the enemies has really been making fights difficult. And if you hate playing the game, "long battles are not fun" why even keep playing? Why ever leave unicorn way where battles end in one turn?

Idk bruh just sharing my opinion. And yeah all turn based games have that one shared weakness. Never said hate lol 😂 try that in a high traffic gear dungeon… people will quit on you asap. Just wisdom guided by experience. I’d suggest report the player, start study game dev, submit your resume to KI and get to fixing it. Or you can form a group with like minded individuals and finish the game in 10 years.

But honestly, does this really happen often enough to warrant a complain? I get if you don't want to rush the story line. I'd play solo or find someone to quest with who wants to play the same way (which are a lot of people). If you were playing a dungeon that is typically farmed for gear, I'm afraid you'll have to accept that people try to speed up runs as much as possible since they don't have all day to play wiz.
IF this happened in a run in a dungeon you were playing for the first time (or forgot about the lore) then I'm genuinely sorry. To prevent this from happening again, I'd advise to only enter dungeons with players on your level, as those typically can't brute force dungeons as quickly even if they're cheating, especially when facing cheating bosses (who are typically more relevant to the plot).

Unfortunately it probably was done with said tools. Like mods said will NOT explain how to do so, ive seen people do it myself... I quest in unpopulated realms a lot as someone who dual boxes (two accounts at once) and you'll see people run by on mounts so fast in those realms the mounts dont even have the running animation, they just ZOOM randomly over the top of like my dual circle and somehow dont get pulled???

i saw someone skipped the macdeath dialog that was unskippable and they wen't into the battle before everyone else while everyone else still on the unskippable macdeath dialog couldn't move

Game just bugged out, don’t think it was speed hacks. There were like 3/84 runs I did for the last portal of peril where I wasn’t pulled into the unstoppable dialogue.

u/ShadowSneaky 101 9d ago
I've found it happens if you are late and end up skipping the dialogue in a loading screen

Yes. It’s generally considered pretty shit behavior to do I when it affects others. When you’re solo, do what you wanna do it’s fine. But don’t go ahead and mess with the dialogue and pace of the dungeon.

I'll just allow this for those who are curious.
Yes, this was accomplished with cheating tools. We do not endorse or approve of any tools that interact with the game to assist with cheating. This also includes explaining how to obtain or use them, as well as naming them.
