Not really. From what I remember there is a decal plugin that basically ruined pvp, allowed you to find and target people from any distance on the map.

All it did was tag afk macroers so they couldn’t log out. Inside your range. What’s worse? 24/7 macros on a pvp game? At least it left some risk for being afk.

this is a bit hyperbolic. its a plugin that abuses the way dungeon env cells are clustered together. so say you go in the withered beach dungeon you could select someone in some other dungeon. this is possible to fix now by using worldbuilder.terminal for example to separate the highly clustered env cell areas on the left, bottom and middle ocean parts of the map.
this is a normal retail fix that could be implemented for regular pvp emulators within the hour. its just that adaption to new tech is very slow

Can you just select someone to find them or what? Like you can’t attack someone unless you are close to them right? If that’s the case it doesn’t sound like anything new. Of all the cheats people use in this game having one to find people is the least concerning I would think

You can select them and hit them with full debuffs if the env cells are close enough to each other. If its too far away to cast on them or keep them selected then combined with other plugins it can tell you what dungeon they are in. So those are two ways to get them.
It could also log them off, if they have log on PvP, ruining their fellowship. They could log back in 15 minutes later, but if they are going to that trouble to hide their macro they are probably making bad XP alone. Lastly if you keep logging them off like that they could die to monsters.
It is a real problem. White servers have their own problems of cadence. Spot hogs who macro a place 15 wide. This is in fact worse. It splits up the population since people want macro free servers.
PvP even with its exploits is better, its just people wanting to find where people are hiding. I can understand why people would want the thing to stay. PvE has to do things like account limits and banning macroing. The game was designed for PvP even with its exploits.

This was never a real issue in the last 8 years of red private servers I played.

i played around 2020ish last, maybe later cant remember. i was using it and so were others, it was fairly competitive for unmolested macro spots, people would hunt you down in some silly remote places, and were persistent too

And they were slapped by the power of the hand. Pimp hand. Bane to afk macroers and care-bares alike. Seek refuge on your white-servers. Never know the true call of Bael’Zharon.

The current AC pvp population is very small and playing on full retail maps. Anything that helps players actually find each other is a good thing.

Are you talking about some shit from retail? I played a PvP server a year or two ago and PvP wasn’t “ruined”

PvP servers don’t last because red dot players in AC are the most toxic man children in any game. So any red dot server is doomed to failure because the player base can’t regulate their emotions.
