Strafing

[old.Buffer]

Stop it
I have no problem fighting someone of equal con and losing.
But when I see people strafing to avoid being hit that sucks.
You are exploting as far as i can see, server/client lag issues, boils down to a lame tactic

did i say it was bug abuse?

no i didnt

i just think its lame

so get your facts right

 

[wiseguy1]

as ive said on previos posts starfing isnt a bug abuse or exploiting lag issues since its implemented in game on purpose.. if u werent supposed to starfe they wouldnt have implemented it.. just deal with it..

 

[acei]

Ahh right... so you want people to stand there and allow you to hit them when they have a better option? You do reliase the keys for strafing exist on your keyboard too ?

use /face and strafing becomes useless and in fact just increases there chances of losing there attacks.

I don't care about strafing that much, whats far worse is people using lame walk-through tactics, which is not bug abuse, just exploiting poor game design because they lack the confidence in there characters to win fairly.

I fight fair and i fight square, i never cheat , when i see someone strafing then that annoys me as i said for reasons above. Its a server/client issue. You can play fairly or you can play dishonest, i know which way i play.

well if u want to quote NP as dishonest thats up to you, i do not wish to interfere in this matter. It is nothing todo with me.

Like a lot of things in this game it's risk vs reward...
The person who does the strafing has a chance not to get hit, or to pull off a positional style, and in return they get a chance for that 'you are strafing in combat and miss' message.

If you're hitting a caster / support class, why shouldn't they have a chance to avoid being hit, and if you're fighting a melee class, why shouldn't they have a chance at getting that low end / debilitating side positional?

It may be true that due to lag, it favours the person with the better connection, but it can allow for a little more variety than the usual static 'engage in fight and let the random number generator and stats completely decide the outcome of the fight' of other RPGs, even if it still comes down to that in the end.

For a fact i did use face on Tusk the other day in a 1 vs 1 and i did manage to get Not in wiew message for 10 sec.

=(
But i still won the fight so im happy but it was very annoying...

I see ... strafing (btw something the game punishes you for anyway) is exploiting.

What about using styles that depend on your position? Also exploiting, right? What about combining both? Strafe into side position and then do a flank attack ... HELL, what a blatant bug abuse!

What other tools do those damn cheaters use? Shields! YAY! My favorite one. You attack someone but the cheating bastard uses a shield to 'avoid being hit'. Cheater! Cheater! Ban him!

But that's not even as low as people get. The worst cheaters of all are people using ranged attacks. Casters, archers, you name it. How lame can people get? Attacking someone from a distance giving them no chance to hit them back with your sword. Okay, we could run towards them and get them, but come one ... hey ... using the forward or backward keys in a fight? No no no, that's of course also lame and would make us a cheater as well, huh?

Hmmm, by the way ... what about weapons in general. Now that I think about it, people only use weapons to hit me and prevent me from killing them. I have to think about it some more but I'm getting more and more suspicious that using weapons COULD be cheating as well. Anyone know Mythic's/GOA's policy towards this? I think I'll try and report the next weapon user who attacks me. No, I think I'll report anyone who attacks me. It's time the game developers do something about people who try to kill others.

If they don't do anything against the movement-key-abusers soon I'll start to play chess instead of DAoC. So, there!

 

[K0nah]

it needs fixing, yes there are workrounds but that doesn't mean it isn't an exploit/bug i'm afraid.

if u can see 'em (ie they are on your screen and in your frontal 180 degree arc) and they are in melee range u should always be able to hit 'em.

stand still so I can kill you!!1

I doubt xiang is looking for post spam

Strafing is lame; in fact, it's really lame. I don't care what all you leet kiddies say, it's just the way it is.

 

[Stallion-]

just as lame as your zerging is... your point is?


wait no its not..
:doh:

 

[Belomar]

Ooh, that stings, crabcamper. Didn't you quit, btw?

 

[Stallion-]

crabcamper? never once camped crabs at svasud..
sure did now im back..

 

[-Wedge-]

Strafing is as lame as Savages 1 or 2-shotting my casters... So until that Savage-lameness stops, I'm strafing... Kthnx...

Last time I did hold out a good 30s or so against like 3 savages...
(makes you wonder if they know anything else then /assist /stick /f6 & try styles)

As for you strafing to try and kill us, be my guest, never seen a pbaoe spell not hit due to it...

I distinctly remember you whining at us with your scout when me, Pin and Mazsola cba to ferry you to Uppland with speed.

sure did now im back..

Oh, so that quit post was just fishing for attention, eh?

 

[landor]

So strafing according to some ppl seems lame or abuse or whatever... Right, in that case me, being a BM (having my best chain positional) i have to stay in front of the enemy giving him the opportunity to stike me down real easy, and trigger his chains while i am helpless (dont have any desent chain in front position) in front o f him dying?
Well i just dont understand it. In that case lets just "kill" evade and parry since it prevents ppl from hitting their target.
Be serious, bisides when strafing , there is a "to hit" penalty that results to a decent percent of misses.
Hey, i have another idea, lets "delete" the whole stealth classes, cause they are hidden and hit you while you dont see them....
Be serious....

 

[Flimgoblin]

it's not "strafing to get a style off" it's "strafing constantly so that with a little lag your enemy can't hit you"

it means ranged nukes have a point mind you... but it's still pretty crap that it works - Mythic should sort it.

Well, that's just it. The tank in question most likely can get within melee range of you if he is focusing on getting you down, and can then keep strafing to keep out of view while you try to MoC or qc him dead or rooted.
