Attack Bug

Post by Secular »

I know this isn't technically a bug, or flaw in the system, but I think it is something that should be fixed to where it cannot happen.

I know certain classes have ranged attacks, I just don't think players should be able to attack you through toll gates.

EDIT: I probably should have put this under Suggestions, sorry.

Totally agree. Just to add a further point, archers can shoot through walls in dungeons and they may well also be able to attack as shown in your screenshot.

Good point, I don't think you should be able to shoot/cast directly through walls.
It just seems unrealistic to me.

Same thing goes on walls.. (in dungeons for example)
Edit:
mage vs mage sounds fair to me,even if through the wall..
but close attack chars like ogre,dwarf and swordsmen have no chance vs ranged attack chars like mage and archer..
A good solution might be not being able to attack through walls..

I agree as well. This topic was brought up in "class balance thread as well" ..at the time I didn't see it as pvp issue so didn't realize how frustrating it could be...now that I've seen it again it seems even worse than I first thought . Hopefully it'll be fixed (creator has obviously super busy with updates, hopefully this makes the cut

So I guess this is necro-bouncing this thread. I apologize for that.

But it fits exactly what I wanted to address.
Three years later the problem persists ... bug, glitch or feature?

Last night I had a couple of "red mummies" 'stolen' from me by a more powerful archer(94) shooting through walls.

Laws of physics don't apply to archers?
Can mages / fairies do the same?

Perhaps walls in dungeons are not floor-ceiling walls; we could think of them as 1,5m high walls

Then why can't I attack 'over the wall' with my sword?

Wow - I can remember posting that as well. Few names there that we sadly no longer see on FT.

Sorry- I digress. It does seem strange it's not been resolved after all this time. Mind you, I'm no programmer so it might be a bigger task than it looks.

This suggestion would work out great on clan maps ;)
