I am on the lookout for you.

Yet another Alb with the very handy lag effect, managed to be too far away for a whole minute with me /stick to him as he ran back to the apk emain.

So I couldn't mezz, I couldn't DD, hell, I took my sword out and couldn't even hit him, yet was stuck to him when he agro'd a gobo enroute to the apk, it seemed to have trouble hitting him too., and it wasn't any lag ghost, they don't run around trees.

Didn't seem to happen when I ran round behind you 5 minutes later and mezzed you then, did it? Probably cause you couldn't see me coming, eh?

FAR too many Albs happen to have this effect when they are under attack, yet it doesn't have any effect on their ability to play, the most famous being Walker.

I'm gonna push GOA to get this sorted, or figured out, as there's too many people complaining about it, and now I know how it is done, the info has been passed onto GOA.

This has happened to me 3 times in the last week in odins so I fully support you, however I won't name people unless it is the same ones persistantly as I have no idea how they are doing it and don't want to get someone banned who is innocent. Thankfully no one can point the finger at me cause I die way way way too much sadly.

Hohoho.. All I can say is.. Some times god is on my side ;)
I didn´t feel that much lag tho, and I am a realy good runner =)

And I realy hope that you isn´t acusing me of some kind of "Lag when I need it" Cos that I do not do, better belive that.
Well well.. Sorry anyways.

ROFL, you actually think they do it on purpose? Well, to be truthfull I don't know for a fact if 'the others' are using some kind of exploit to lag, but I know alpha wouldn't.

To sum up: live with it oh lil one

only thing GOA can do about it is ofc increase bandwitdth AND/OR install 10Mbit lines in every house in Europe. NP

I think Froler is right.... It must be 'Teh Twick!1'

It also might have been somethign similar to a bug I've been experiencing on my minstrel. On 4 separate occasions, I have stunned an enemy and switched to flute, only for them to be out of range of my mezz... I can DD them still so they are less than 700 range away, but my mezz won't work even if I run upto them. The only way I can get my mezz to stick is to run away and come back into range... Several times I've literally been stood on top of them unable to mezz due to range, yet they are in the process of hitting me with their sword :/ (I don;t usually try to mezz people hitting me but in this case I did for screenshot purposes). Only happens with mezz though, and being a song it probably won't happen the same with spells..


[edit: just read that you are a bard and so the same might apply here... although you claim you can't even hit with shouts which I know I can when it happens to me.]

If you stun someone, the computer often calculates for another second or so where the target would´ve been, so he´ll lag on a few steps. V annoying though if it lags into a mg wall:)

"your target is stunned"
"you begin casting your Shadowdoom"
"target is not visible"
<sighs>

Personally I know how it's done as well, but haven't done it a single time. And I agree, people who do it should be reported asap, since this is plain bug exploiting.

btw: Froler learned me teh trick!!!

I've come across this, some Mid caster on top of the milegate in Odin's who was nuking my group, but when we climbed the steps and stood round them, they were "too far away to hit".

What is it ?

amazingsteve why dont you just jump up on my stick and spinn.

Belive what you want. I know the truth, and I do not use some lag-trick. Ever herd of Telia ADSL ? Look it up other wise..

Client passes coordinates of player, not direction of movement. IMHO its easy to guess the rest. Thanks god no one is clever/stupid enough to change one dword and make airborne runie. :)

I hadn't thought about this much till today. I had one possible instance of it a while ago, when a caster just disappeared on me. But today someone who was stunned and I'd hit once, moved before the stun wore off. So I missed the second hit I normally get from a stun. I wasn't sure if this is the kind of thing the evil trick manages to do and so whether I should report it. Any ideas? Or is the evil trick mere fiction?

With my minnie, it isn't lag. as I can go instastun (in range) - mezz(out of range) - DD shout (inrange) - mezz again (out of range) - second DD (in range) - Opponent hits you for XXX damage (in h2h combat range now) - mezz again (out of range) etc. It's bloody annoying and I'm just glad it happens so infrequently... Enough bugs with minstrels charm, alone, never mind mezzes/ and other songs.

? dont think he is saying you are using any trick there.
It is right what he says.

Cast the stun, target lags of out of range. Have to walk closer to start nuking, no cheats, just annoying:) losing a few secs of nukin, not that it ever matters.

In Unreal Tournement there was a console command that you could type in which limits your packet sent/recieved and increases your ping by loads (around 2k).. basically making it impossible for anyone to hit/kill you because you "Ghost" around.

Maybe there is a similar thing in Daoc?
