Quick Apology...

[Jamagei]

A quick one to the little blue con caster who was at the MMG (Albion) at 6pm (GMT) last night with Nightstar, Belexavier and a couple others. I just logged in, saw you guys and charged... killed Nightstar turned to the blue con and two shotted him/her then turned to Belexavier... was being nuked and stabbed and died (and I still think Hunter evades look the coolest )

You gave no RP's (cos you had been killed recently)... apparently my guild mate Zunrek then logged in about 5 mins later and 2 shotted you with his pole, you were still not worth any RP's.

Well, I found it kinda funny, some nights, it's just not your night (usually it's not my night)

btw: I am trying not to make it a 'I pwned you thread' cos it's usually me getting killed.

And how does Bfr pull of his damn rear positional style from in front of me!?

anyway, just rambling now... need more sleep

<goes off to get more coffeee>

The same way all LW people do. They "abuse" the lack of collision detection to run through you. Lame tactic IMHO, but it's part of the game, like Necro LoS.

There is a split second in which they are actually behind you even with /face or /stick. And with any practise, anyone can abuse/use this method. It's not like they have to abuse it, as it's easy enough to catch other people running. But it's like, Oooh, I can use one style all the time.

No, I was implying that it's "making use of a game design flaw", the same way LoS is currently being "abused". Who knows, maybe oneday they'll implement collision detection and trying this kind of thing be seen as bug abuse in hindsight.

Yeah, would actually make tank lines useful, and various military tactics would work as well.

Make relics hard to defend as you can't physically fit more than about 50 people in a relic keep.

Not to mention, holding a MG from the defensive (stairs) side would be really easy. Wait for a few trolls to storm the gates and mezz them.

lol

<imagines Kobolds trying to climb over Trools>

Also, it would be kinda funny running into an invisible wall of stealthers

hmmm... collision detection might not be so good

 

[old.Pyrotechnix]

Collison detection is in EQ and caused some 'memorable' moments.

Best one i can remember is franticaly yelling at a troll to stop blocking the passage as i headed for a zone-line with a 10 mob train after me Think that was in Sol-B for any ex-EQ'rs out there.

Ended up with about 12 dead people who were trying to get past the fat lump sat in the way. Ah well, at least he snuffed it too once they'd finished munching on us

not just the lack of collision detection that cuases it, the fact is that when you run through them their /stick or /face doesnt turn around in time for you to swing and so you are behind them due to a sort of "lag". So basically its kind of lag abuse like some people do when they tap stuff so they make purpose lag shadows

Your fat trolls will get stuck in the milegates and nuked to death

Will start spamming the screenshot key, and post a pic showing a dwarf evade. Wish there was an emote looking like it flip up showing off your ass.

 

[Kahland]

Pweazeeeee pwetty twolls come out come out wherever you are!

Some trolle tried to hide behind a small tree in emain. I could see like two large sausage-arms sticking out from each side of the tree!

Zega, you miss the point. The point is, that IF CD is implemented, running THROUGH people can be seen as abusing a "bug" since it was changed in a later patch.

And really, how "fair" is it? Running THROUGH someone? So you can pwn them? Why, that's like Necros nuking through walls and saying they're uber.

"I pwned your ass because I 'abused' a game flaw that doesn't make you turn around instantly and allows me to use my totally overpowerred level 50 rear style!!!1111" I R teh uber!

I've said it before. You want to prove you're a good melee player, you kill people WITHOUT running through them to do this. But, oh wait, the game is "made that way", well gee, so was the lack of LoS.
