/face and shadeform

[Joxer]

Has anyone else probs getting an autolock on peeps in shadeform?
Met a scout today in Odins who was able to fire three arrows into me before I was even able to get a target on him and /face him. Funny thing is...on my second run the same thing happened aswell with another scout.

That a "working as intended"-thing or is it simply an annoying bug?

Aye..but he still should appear in your targetbar (as long as you dont have another target selected atm).

Anyways..thx for the input, guys. At least I know that its something I have to live it for now - almost thought there was a problem or noobishness on my side

Only if he's high above you and get an elevation bonus. I use face on all my targets and on flat ground face range is further than bow range. In an elevated position face range is a few loc units shorter than bow range, so unless you where about a couple of houndred locs further than max range, and he was higher than you, you'd be able to face him. Or just step out of range from where the arrow direction said he was.

bind last attacker fortehwin. This is what i believe alot of the radarwhine comes from. Very early when i soloed alot i quickly understood that the game engine is buggy when ppl shoot you, even sometimes when they cast spells on you. Last attacker is never reset so its also a free way of getting around if there are few groups out when you are soloing, ie press it every 5 secs and if the one who killed you last is within 5k units they will pop on your screen. When you get zerged at a mg or similar or when stealthers kill you u can also detect somewhat where they are with this command: a regular stealthed person will be reported as "To far away" while if you are within the range and LOS is blocking your way you will get another message "Target is not visible".
The command has been ingame since 1.48 i think and if u havent used it yet i think you all should it really helps when you need to act fast to survive.

thats because he was in stealth when he shot first arrow at u...
its same with assassins who hit u from stealth, u dont get them autotargeted after the first hit.
