Why all enemy I encounter strafing like hell and don't wanna win by skill or spec or some? Retards.


Yes it's a QQ but no midi or hibi out there who can fight fair.

I am not sure about any of these 'strafing bugs' or anything similar, but when I melee I need to position behind or to the side to get certain styles off. Unlike my alb counterparts I do not have any 1st blow in your face stuns etc.

Now, if you wish to be a good alb and do the odd 180 to show me your back once in a while in a fight I will gladly refrain from moving.

As for the people that do that side-to-side strafing thing then just stick to them ... I hear it can induce lag but I have never experienced it. If you feel that strongly about it report the individuals.

start by going solo for once, and leave your buddies at home, then start talking about fair fights.

A strafer can be beaten, a duo/trio/or more cant by a soloer.

Thing is, you cant do anything about it, mythic knows about this 'bug' but they cant do anything about it couse of there poor coding, so they say its ok instead of fixing it.

As for your sidepos styles, if you were ment to pull those off in a 1on1 encounter without strafe abuse (i call it abuse as i consider it a bug in the /face and /stick commands) wouldnt it have been diffarent then?
Afaik the positional styles are mainly made for group combat, where you, without abusing said bug, can get to the side or back of your target.

never seen you alone.

the one or 2 times i could of said you were solo, you were camping a milegate, mostly amg not far from help from the regular stealthzerg.

btw, soloing for a full day, great work, you done more then 98% of the alb stealther community dose in a year /sarcasm off.

Never seen me alone? What a surprise, this means I'm not the only stealther in Albion \o/
And yes I was camped milegate because these are the main fighing points in Emain, 98% of the stealthers camping milegates or portal keeps.

btw, maybe the question you should ask isnt why do they do it, but why dont you do it? :p

then maybe you can understand that the game isnt "fair" anymore, i dont like it, you dont like it, but "they" do since it means they get what they are after ;)

I don't like strafers
you don't like strafers

does it help to post here? No.
so stop whining and if you encounter a strafer.. just happily return him a favor.
This topic has been done a million times now.

No changes planned. Desing decision.

(Tbh it should be fixed, the "out of view message is very frustrating)

Was out solo one day and met a Hero (think it was), he kind of jumped me
when I was fighting a mob outside mpk. He mezzed, I purged, we fought
pretty evenly until he started to strafe and stuff. I hit zerk button and down
he went. :twak:

I said it a few times already and say it again: There is no such thing as a strafe bug nor a strafe cheat. Its just poor network code.
