are we all ghosts?

[Balbor]

wounder what RvR would be like if you couldn't walk though enemy players?

 

[old.Lianuchta]

Try Planetside to see what large scale battles are like with collision detection. It is all slightly more realistic (infantry hiding behind tanks, armored infantry guarding doors etc).

 

[Validus]

colission detection can be silly. what if 2 prats decide to block the door to a trainer or some important merchants?

i said enemy players, not own realm or mobs (dunno if its possible to code for that).

I mainly came up with the idea so that tank classes could protect form lines that would work in rvr battles for protecting archers and casters.

Collision detection has been on many people's wishlist for a very long time.

Have to agree it would be nice to see this on the frontiers, but its damned handy not to have to bother with it in PvE.

Relic raids and stuff would be a nightmare though

 

[Kagato.]

At least it would put a stop to lamers expoiting it to give people 'target not in view errors' by walking through them in one-on-one fights. Being able to do that is soooooo realistic

You'd still get CS players doing the silly circle strafing but at least you wouldn't get anymore people walking through you in fights.

Ghosts don't use PCs as far as I know. They go around doing what smurflord was doing.

 

[Marcus75]

old.Dillinja:

Of course they do...havnt you seen the movie "Ghost"?

 

[Oddorvard]

They have collision detection in Planetside. It allows for more tactical use of tanks and heavily armored characters. However it can be very annoying when running through hallways or accessing equipment terminals. I think that might be fixed by removing collision detection on friendlies, but that might reduce the feeling of realism and might also be rather hard to implement.

 

[zedmeet]

Would be feasable if they changed it so all AE spells affected friendlies as well as enemies.

Otherwise would make the walking box of tanks with a caster snug in the middle, the main tactic used in RVR.... /yawn

Magic is not real world, which is why this game is such a bitch to balance.

 

[mestoph]

To be honest, i think i am a ghost. I seem to be always the first to die in RvR. There can be 100 people stood around me and guess what, the SB hits me first. I wouldn't mind to much if i was an actual threat to them. But even with 65 fire, i can only do 300 max damage to most mids now adays.

nah ghosts dont rattle chains mostly they sit quietly scareing the hell out of dogs or have converstation with each other which u can hear cos they dont realise there dead the odd time they get aggressive they may hit someone but thats because they are frightened themselves
be nice to any ghosts u meet cos u may become one one day

 

[mid_Efour]

we should get ghosty RA`s like...

BOO! = 14ra points 30 min timer

effect: say boo to enemy realm mate




but not aLL ghost are badies i like ghosts and cheese i like cats too. looooooolololo rattle rattle jewelry jewelry. i dont belive in ghosts either and have you seen Starcraft ghost from Blizzard? FPS game in Starcraft univerese uber! call the shot! imagine fighting a protoss dark templar would be well cool eh? huh?! yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!1


yeeehawwwww

 

[sheepseyes]

ghosts dont rattle chains ffs unless of cors there into bondage most chain rattleing is for tv where it sounds good but in ghost life they dont but they may rattle the odd cup thou

 

[Sarnat]

DAoC wasn't designed to have collision detection. It would create major exploits, for example. Just a bad idea IMO.
