Can Warp be detected? (1 Viewer)

[Talerian]

Hi I was wondering If warp is somehow detectable by a GM and if so do they have to be in the same zone you are or can they in some way detect it and then log in and come to your zone or what?

Can Warp be detected?

Yes.

It it likely that you'll get nailed for it when a GM's not in the zone?

No.

But is it possible?

Yes.

While big warps are definitely noticable, and supposedly Sony does keep logs for a period of time, I have been wondering about something else.

Are mini warps detectable? That is someone is at loc 400, 400, 0 and warps to 401, 401, 0 ? I figure if no one is watching the character physically, to a log it would appear just like regular movement?

that could be mistaked as lag, your movement delta (basically what is the distance you crossed between updates to the server) would be smaller then walking so no, it wouldn't be logged I don't think.

Identifying mini warps by code is difficult at best, but a player will spot you iinstantly if you do it near them.
