The fact that monsters can hit you from 30+ meters away from you when you are running away from them...it makes no sense and it shouldnt happen.

Re: One of the few things I wish they would fix
Its actually you are in their attacking range due to server latency (Or something like that), that makes it seem you are actually further than you are.Originally posted by AzureDemon View Post
If you start running from a goblin you attacked, you are actually closer to it, than it shows you are on the screen due to the server latency. -
Re: One of the few things I wish they would fix
People probably wouldn't have such a problem with this if only you could hit a mob that you're following ... I mean, the game won't LET you get any closer, and it's not close enough for the game to think you can hit.Comment

Re: One of the few things I wish they would fix
You have to run through the mob when you're following it. Again, server latency, the mob is further away from you in the server's mind (which is what determines swings and damage) but it's physical representation is in your way on your side (which just loads the models). Unlock target and keep running and you'll be able to hit it."I have a forebrain, my ability to abstract thoughts allow for all kinds of things" - Red Mage 8-Bit theater

Re: One of the few things I wish they would fix
I'm guessing that's because of the collision detection in your client, which makes you pause for a moment when passing through another player's character, for instance. I've had luck with turning to the side while locked on, but that doesn't help you get a solo Sneak Attack in, nor does a ranged attack or quick spell.Originally posted by Nuriko View PostElwynn @ Fairy Elwynbelwyn @ Sylph | PS2 PC

Re: One of the few things I wish they would fix
I totally agree with you on that! I understand magic or ranged attacks but not the ones were they are swinging a weapon of some kind.Originally posted by AzureDemon View PostEmmanuell

Something I wish they would fix:
Ranged Yagudo Mobs in Campaign in Meriphauted Mountains shooting arrows at me through the rock I'm attempting to kite them around.Comment

Re: One of the few things I wish they would fix
lol YES! That one is annoying. They cant see you, but they can sure as hell hit you. Just like you cant see a monster when you are trying to shoot it, and it move behind a tree, and it says you are unable to see it before you fire your bow.Originally posted by Mythik View Post
Or when you cant run up a certain hill, yet you ranged attack a creature, an it runs up the same hill you where unable to a few seconds later. But then again, that is a bit of a good thing, otherwise you could get a ton of links when it runs around the hill to get to you.Comment

Re: One of the few things I wish they would fix
Both the OP and the Arrow through the rock are the same issue. The positions that the client and the server know are going to be slightly different because, in order to cut down on traffic, the client extrapolates where things would be while sending and receiving periodic updates to the server, however while it is usually pretty close it's not going to be exact especially when you're not moving in a straight line and so while it looks to you as the mob is far away or on the other side of the rock, the server might know differently.
This is compounded by higher latency between the client and the server.Comment
