Game Mechanics: sneak pull

[vouss]

Haynar will melee attacks be breaking sneak or just ranged? Currently they are tied.

I know about the 2002 patch but my posts from 2001 do not make a distinction between miss and hit when pulling out of agro range from other mobs or when they have their back to you.

So what should a miss do?

In combat range, if mob does not normally aggro, doesnt do jack til u hit.

The plan is for anything that blocks los, will stop an arrow or bolt.

What about other players? Block bolts i heard yes.

Players no, pets yes. Stopped hitting pets with bolts and ranged attacks at the same time that they fixed the aoe rain spells to not hit pets 2 months into velious.

On that note, green spell gems (pillars alkabors) never hit pets. Not sure why targetted non-rain aoe such as pillars and alkabors are currently expelling charges on pets, while aoe mez is not, but it was never supposed to be coded that way to begin with. When the aoe rain code was regressed to hit pets (on p99), it was coded to do this with all aoe spells, and then you put an exception in for mezmerization and fascination. That exception should be universal for all green-spellgem targetted aoe.

Rangers used to have to be careful on raids when they were firing arrows to make sure they hit the boss and not their raid mates (no damage done but arrow blocked).

it was fine for large model targets becasue the arrows hit a hitbox which was taller than the players. they just had to stand back a bit further.

i'm going off memory though as i never played a raiding ranger. they did all used to levi and try and fire from height to prevent issues

This was also post velious when ranger bow dps got alot better and viable

I did find something that is making sneak pulling too easy. Farm ur Fungi's boys and girls while easy mode is still in.

I have projectiles and bolts tracking their positions now while in flight for basic trajectories. Working on collisions with world objects next. Then with NPCs, then players, are the goals.

I am really looking forward to actual classic difficulty pulls. Great work Haynar!

Sounds good Haynar thanks for looking into it.
