Volley?

 

[Leel]

Say hello to volley?

 

[Arnor]

Say hello to volley?

no, put your hands over your ears and yell CHEATERZ!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

 

[xRedfieldx]

Maybe its the delay on the shot being fired, say the archer presses to auto shoot and you go out of view after, most of the time the shot will still fire at you whether your behind a wall or not.

 

[Tulkos]

yeah it is quite anoying . although not as annoying as how many arrows seem to go through my bt

 

[Leel]

Oh, and another thing, if you lag through wall so the archer can see you, he can release the shot and hit you, although you will in reality still be outside in cover of the wall. Can hit with melee attacks this way as well though.

 

[censi]

yer it can be lag a lot of times. in keep raids when peeps are beating on the door you often see them lag right through into the keep. if you are spamming shoot on them u will fire as long as they are visable to your client. same for walls or milegates.

shhhhhh dont tell every secret, much roxor archers dont know it

 

[Urgluf]

Theodoric RR9 L4

hihi

 

[Theodoric]

Yes i know all what you just said ... what i was refering to was being out of los for about 5 sec then getting hit

 

[Theodoric]

Theodoric RR9 L4

hihi

Actually its RR9 L5 and wtf was you trying to say ?

 

[Urgluf]

that you dont know the realm ability volley which you kinda should as a RR9l5? :wub:

 

[Theodoric]

It wasnt volley


and as i said i know all the options ppl gave.....

 

[Urgluf]

you said that after my comment but ok..

btw once a shot is fired it can take some time till arrow hits, can be throu wall etc

 

[Theodoric]

Yes, and thats the point im making ... that is bullshit... if you cast a bolt and someone moves behind wall .. you get the message spell fails

So why doesnt this happen with arrows....

 

[Matmardigan]

it happens, get much enough messages target isnt in view, and ive toa range cap.

 

[-Palan-]

happens often enough that we get the target is not in sight msg...

and bolts even hit us when they are casted while we are still visible, and while that thing is flying our way, we stealth and still get hit by hit... how fun is that

 

[Loxleyhood]

Stop bitching, they've fixed this bug. You're either lying, exagerating or just plain whining.

You wanna learn some manners you sad little child .. i was asking a question
if u cant answer me with civility then dont bother

 

[Loxleyhood]

I did answer. They've fixed the bug where you could shoot through walls. The only way it's possible now is with Volley or possibly where someone has gone into their game files and removed certain models. I dunno.

 

[Theodoric]

Ok then say that ,, dont accuse me of lying or exagerating , the whine ok coz i guess it is alittle .. but i was curious as to why it was happening

 

[Lethul]

strange that you notice it when you are on the reciving end of scouts

 

[Theodoric]

Aye not many arrows got through Theos shield

 

[Spamb0t]

if you cast a bolt and someone moves behind wall .. you get the message spell fails

uhm did they change to that recently or what? cause that was not the case before atleast.
u can(or could) do same as u can with arrows. and often u can with DD's too.

 

[Ilienwyn]

strange that you notice it when you are on the reciving end of scouts

Yes, only scouts can do that but with this:

Aye not many arrows got through Theos shield

I guess you got owned?

 

[Belgerath]

ive been told that there r game files that u can as such ''remove'' thus allowing u to shoot through wall's i dont which 1's so dont pm me but ive been told it can be done theo also on that point its very much against CoC to do that

 

[Theodoric]

I guess you got owned? [/QUOTE]


Oh my yes .... repeatedly

 

[Flimgoblin]

there's a los check at the point of releasing the arrow (never used to be - if you could target them once and queue an autorelease it'd fire and hit whether they were still in LoS or not)

however once the arrow is in the air there's a delay before it hits you - it's like bolts or animist bombers (but without the dodgy pathing )

 

[Loxleyhood]

Not quite. What use to happen was the LOS check would happen when the archer pulled his bow. This meant that if the target then hid behind an obstruction before the bow fired the arrow would still hit true. Now, there are two LOS checks, one when you draw your bow and one when you release your arrow.

But you're correct about the delay. If you hide some time between me firing and the arrow reaching you, the arrow will go round corners, blast through brick walls and possibly follow you through a teleport. Hmmm, I wonder if it would....
