This video reminded me of the fact this was a serious issue back on live servers and obviously someone was daring enough to film himself using it on Uthgard v1. How is the status of lag strafing and "walking through" in Uthgard v2? I searched the forums, but could only find information from years ago and didn't feel like necroing one of the old posts. Are there currently any means with such client lag abuse to gain some advantage in "hit rate"? |

core mechanic in daoc. learn it or die trying

Butter and bread of reavers, NS, BMs, VWs and few more classes. It is not so hard avoid it

Don't forget hunters. Run through and snap face to land that rear spear stun! |

I hate it, but unfortunately this bug has been accepted as part of the game.

It's more like an exploit of Lag, but it has been accepted as a "skill" over the years. I don't think there will be any form of punishment for strafers

tactic as old as this patch level

The status of exploit went away when EA took over. It is now an accepted and as of the live 1.121 patch, now something that they understand will happen so much, that they adjusted the growth rates on the styles because of its abuse.
If you are dumb enough to stand still, and let someone walk thru you for positional styles, then who knows what else you didnt do. Even as a caster, I keep moving, or use PBAOE spells. The glimmer in my eye when I watch a player attempt to walk thru my cast, and then realize its a PBAOE spell, and they just willingly walked right over the pixel that gives them 100% of the damage, instead of the 70% of the damage at melee range... Priceless. The only people that use signatures with actual information only proves they think they are better then everyone else.
Pweet - Go suck your own. The GMs dont need your sucking. |

It's not about straffing (moving to land positional style) ==> skill
But, imo, it's about the "not in vew" mechanic game abuse. If you'r at the right place (ground 0 - on your enemie) at the right moment (when he gona hits you/land its casting spell) your enemie can't hit you or he'll miss its style and land unstyle attack |

Adds to the skill ceiling of Daoc which is why we all still play the game.

You mustn't assume that your personal situation is a reflection of every other person that has logged in to Uthgard. |
