DLKnives Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 There were 4 of us tonight in The Regulators when we were attacked by (I think) a posse of 3. One of them was a level 84 who massacred us and I finally found out why.He rode up to me, dismounted and stood there. I fired about 10 shots into him - nothing. Then he killed me again. I don't know how they do it but it's pure cheating when you can't take damage, makes the game kind of easy I'd imagine.
Poggy Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Yeah, I don't know how they do it, but ghosting is a thing and some people use it to grief with impunity. Double life fail - first to grief, second to cheat on top. I can only imagine that irl these people look like Voldemort and smell like a sewer. 1
DLKnives Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 I read that there's a spawning glitch where players ghost for a few seconds but this was about half an hour. That they take advantage of it is really bad and I'd say a banning offense.
Poggy Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Yes, I've been killed by ghosting griefers, and so have others. There's a thread on it somewhere. No idea how they do it. It's tragic 1
HooverRAD Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 I was holding my own, but they all Parley'd me, and I couldn't help after that. There's actually a split second where you can get a shot in on a ghosting player.. It's how they're able to fire at you, but you're dead if you miss it. 1
Poggy Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Some dumb exploit that needs a fix. How tragically socially crippled must someone be to grief with a cheat mode? 1

Wild Bill Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Been checking on this myself coz after the last time with the regulators I just got really angry and quite verbal to say the least. Dice hoovered and diligence mentioned the ghosting and cheating it does get u mad especially when the regulators lik e many others are just wantin to play the game fair n honourable I hav almost been thinking of giving up online gamin it’s that bad. Coz I thought it was me n I had a problem. To be honest this believe it or not is the first time ever played online multiplayer n I was really enjoying it so in future I’ll just jump servers as advised by marshal hoovered and his deputy the six gun shooting dlknives. Peace 1

Peace It's all good, Bill. Stuff like that happens, we just deal, laugh about it, then move on down the trail. Don't quit just yet, man... We like having you around.. Echo and all. 2

I really hope his console goes on fire and burns the disc inside, the Internet router and while he jumps away he runs in the cables and his LCD crashes on the floor. Life ban wanted for this genius. 1
Poggy Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Trouble is, as word spreads on how to use this exploit people gonna eye it more and more. Saw it for the second time tonight . A gang running around invincible.

SpeedyBeagle Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 I've seen this a few times in online pvp....thought it was a re-spawn feature at first before I realized it didn't seem to happen for me. Surely Rockstar has to look at banning players who are using this exploit? 1
mizTik Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) They punished players for exploiting glitches in GTA V so rest assured, these people will get punished. I have fortunately not experienced this yet. Edited December 27, 2018 by mizTik
zinussan50 Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Spoiler No. They're not ghost or cheat. Just simply have high level ability card maybe with tier 3 upgrade. Which turn them into terminator. 1

cory206 Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Yesterday was the first time I really suffered this, spent ages hunting in the swamp, rode to Rhodes to be safe and got shot in the head *at the actual butchers*, again, but this time the guy just sat on a buggy in Rhodes Main Street ghosting, other traffic going through him, for ages, denying me my fair return headshot. Do I let it spoil my fun? No way San Jose, I jumped into a race and forgot about it in 30 seconds. those feelings ain't no use to me... 3

I have fortunately not experienced this yet. Maybe or maybe not. As for this glitch, i have seen it more then a few times. A group of players will start sh*t, then when unloading on one, they just gray out or ghost. Can't be hurt. Their buddies un-ghost and shoot you in the back. Reported one pair and never heard a word from Rockstar. Don't if I will, but have encountered them a few times.

They should make it where when you report a player, the game will avoid putting you in the same lobby as them again. I ran into these guys 3 times in less than a week. Edited June 16, 2019 by Kean_1 removed partial name due to naming & shaming rules
DLKnives Posted December 31, 2018 Author Posted December 31, 2018 I wish I'd of reported the level 84 that was ghosting against us but I figured I could go into "recent players" and find them - nope! The name was Neon something and just didn't show up.
YodaMan 3D Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Has anyone heard if this is going to get dealt with in some upcoming update. Still see it on occasions, but not as often as I was.

I'm just going to report it and hope others are doing the same. I heard someone mention that it may be tied into stranger missions and takes more than one and a posse to make it happen. While I think the mechanic is likely tied into it, I'm not so sure his answer was the solution.

Spent some time trying to find it too and the only info I cold find was related to the stranger missions (likely we've seen the same video) and a reddit post that states something about hard resetting your console over and over, but that sounded like a "delete system 32" type troll.
RorshachFromHell Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Not sure if this was "Ghosting" but my girlfriend and i were out hunting, as usual 1 lonely pink dot cant help themselves and blast 2 hunters waving to a passer by.. Well at that point i'm no griefer but i will give it back if i get attacked first which usually is just getting a few kills to make a point then mosey on down the road to keep hunting. but this day forgot the dudes name he just kept coming at us after we killed him 2-3 times and then ran off he chased us on foot/horse across the map to try and kill us. So again we fought back and pushed him away for a few minutes.. again he comes back this time we decide to play not so serious and just take some pump actions out and pew pew. At this stage i thought ok 2 shots make 3 with a shotgun have to be dead for sure.. This guy took 5-6 shots from both of us and never went down. turned around and killed us with 1 pistol round each. i know i'm horrible with a controller just switching from PC to console when red dead came out. but come on point blank 2 people .. i thought it may have been lag or a latency problem but he kept coming back and then just poofed off to a diff lobby. anyone have this issue?

That may have something to do with the ability cards. Some players that I have played with have been talking at a certain level and you upgrade your cards right, you are almost invincible and can deal some real damage. The crazy part is this player started out letting you kill them and then comes back with a invincible chip on his shoulder.
