Something wierd.

[Fafnir]

Ok, ran into this infil in Emain, he was right infront of me was hitting me, but i could not hit back he was out of sight all the time. Nothing i did helped. Ran away and hit face, then tried to use dd, target is out of sight etc. Whats up with this?

PS. didn't seem to affect the mid caster that came and nuke the infil from behind.

Got similliar happening to me at Emain,Savage(?) was attacking me,he was too far away to face,stick etc.I even didin't see him anywhere around

I know of some "bugged" map spots in SI where LOS calc doesnt work properly. You can't attack mobs when they are standing on a certain spot. There are probably some spots like these in Emain aswell. I'm not going as far as saying that certain people know the whereabouts and use that knowledge... anyway, if you found such a spot write down the /loc and report it to RightNow.

Thats an easy thing to do, most assasins use it.

What the inf does is hit you then runs through you just beofre your hit (has to be timed right). Then hits you again and just before your hit runs through your body again. This cuases you to see the enemy infront of you when they are behind you or running through, even if you turned around it still says out of veiw so when they do it right you cant hit the enemy what so every in melee range.

Works even better with casters though if you are close up to them even if they use MoC they never get a spell off.

Yeah... it's cheap as hell.... Nullifies a casters only means of escape/survival, the QC root.

Hmmm when i sprinted away and got a bit of a distance between us i use /face, and hit my dd quick key. But got the message he was out of sight, even when he charged me from the front i could not use my dd before he hit me.

Sounds like some sort of packet-loss or lag, never come across that before where they can attack you, but you cant attack them, you sure you had the right infili targeted?

Now are you REALLY sure Faf?

You can actually before you hit your target run into it and eventually you can perform a backstyle?

 

[sieben_dapoet]

i have seen this happen in duels, but not experienced it in rvr/pve...

had duels or seen duels where you simply cannot target the other player so it looks like you get ganked, when in fact you havent hit once because theres nothing to hit...

if i were you i would class it as a one off and move on, bug that pops up from time to time...

cheers

 

[Old_Bean]

Had this loads of times in PVE.
Creature is right in front of you, you have it targetted, but it says that it is not in range/sight.
Had to keep retargetting it, and changing target back and forth, eventually i could hit my chosen target.
Damn buggy.

Yep easily possible

Also to the guy above ^ yep monsters in pve sometimes do some version of it

Here's another stupid and annoying bug I have had a few times in the past and once recently. Hypothetical scenario: I get messed, I stand like a goon until it breaks... "yay!" the mess breaks. Chase after my first target, I hit my style key and get the message: "you can not enter combat mode while messmerised!" (or whatever the message is). This was really annoying, I tried sitting, re-equipping my weapons, but to no avail. It just seemed to eventually wear off and I could attack again.

that probably isn't a bug but rather:

your minstrel used SoS, so you could move again, but your mez was *not* broken yet. eventually the mez really did wear off, so you could attack again..

 

[vindicat0r]

Mireth , That was SoS.

Fafnir that was a lag bug u get wher ur sever and goa server are not sending enough or the correct packets back and it means u may still appear to be ther but ur server thinks its not. usually u LD about 1 min after that and its ye its a pain in the tits.

As for the so called trick that assasins think they can run behind ppl and not get hit, haha. Use /face end of problem, some ppl just get flustered and dont press it , instead u see something in guild chat like /gu f/ace gag/face 1212/rfae !! ....... Its funny to see and even more funny when they explain .

btw same thing works for the dual wielder's who try strafe around u hitting fast while u miss. /face sorts it , shud be binded on everybodys as the default is Shift+ F ..... or Shift +H ... cant remember : P ...... 1 is /face other is /follow .
