Whats the crack with the walk through ppl bug?

[bigbirdster]

Last night in DF i was 1 on 1 with a mid stealther me being a sorc, he must of have been either unexpieranced or low RR but he certinally knew how to use the walkthrough ppl bug for casters, every time i tried to Qc a lifetap he walked throught me 3 times this happend till i used /stick /face and kill him,

personally his attacks was weak, ive had better mid stealther pwn my ass b4

just wondered if anyone knew, when mythic might change the coding or fix this bug issue?

but respect to him for going at it solo and not in a duo/trio ,

cheers

Its old, people been using it for a very long time, even see the mobs in PVE use it a lot now....

In order for it to be fixed (Assuming it is a flaw) would probably require some sort of collision detection, somthing the game does not really have.

So basically dont hold ya breath

If u didn't use /face - then it's ur own fault for not hitting him - if u want to hit experienced ppl strafing/walking through u - start using mouselook as u can turn same sec u see him start walking, it's easy ..

press QC - spam lifetap, dont just press lifetap once, helps a little

or remove los in a 30-50 radie around the char

Or just remove the restrictions on targets having to be infront of caster. And do the same with melee. Nuking or meleeing with your back against someone can't be overpowered, in melee it only opens up for positionals against you..

Can't see a reason not to do it if Mythic wants to fix this issue, except 'realism' that is.. Cause it's going to look very silly if people .

or when some run trough u, just run forwards, works very well, special if u got very fast cast speed

hehe then you can use frontal styles against someone while running away, nice

 

[Tiki]

Think most use it when they get close too any class with moc n lifetap...

Pff, stop pointing out flaws in my suggestion!

Casters allways whine about this, but what about when tanks are chasing casters and practically have his fists up the casters ass and still get the message "Gimpcaster is too far away to attack!".
If they are to fix the walk thrugh bug then they should fix this too otherwise it's only fare and sqare.

If casters could cast on you after you walked through them, you wouldnt be able to chase them, you would be rooted/mezzed/stunned ^^

Anyways, its not a bug its 'working as intended'...

Best thing you can do is, the moment they walk through you, sprint + run like a dog chasing a firetruck...

Seeing the melee char is running the otherway, you should easely escape (unless snared, in which case your dead anyway)... And you should be able to smack a root / whatever on him...

What about positional melee styles? For example you really want a stealther PA'in from any position within a set radius? PA does 2 x Backstab dmg on my inf, so I know I would luv it

 

[Dracus]

Ye that would be fun...then ill never kill a caster again..pls fix this!!! /sarcasm off

With all the OP pets, cheap MoC and lifetap fotms no way in hell this should be fixed and yes i use this as often as possible. Most casters can kill a low CS assasin today, if they just play their class right. But casters need more help....raaaaaaaaight.

It doesn't work both ways. It only affects YOUR physical orientation of your character. You will still have to be infront of the target to get a frontal style on the target, but you would be able to stand with your back towards that target.

Ah yes because ALL casters have lifetap... ALL casters have 30-point moc (moc3), as without MoC3, no way will a caster kill a tank... All casters have Purge 2....

As you said:
raaaaaaaaight

And with 'most casters kill a low CS assasin today', you mean, most rr5-6 casters kill rr1 and rr2 assasins... Get PA + CD off, and the caster should be stunned / nearly dead already... Notice how the caster needs Purge 2 to survive ? And MoC 3 to nuke for reasonable dmg?

And even then, if the assasin uses the walk through trick, half of the spells (if not more) wont land anyhow...
