An idea to fix track in pvp

[BardPop]

Well it could POTENTIALLY be a pve problem. Pvp and pve are interrelated here so anything that affects pvp also affects pve, people could potentially lose mobs over track being broken. It is important for pve as well that we keep pvp working, otherwise we'd have a few op classes shutting down the server and making people not want to play. Did we opt to have that here? No, we put a nuke cap on nukes, we made melee range not so big that any rogue with an epic could get a kill on casters, and we tweaked the pvp code in every way to be fair for velious. I'd say most of the pvp code is ok right now, just implement a successful track fix and that will fix the biggest pvp issue we have.

the ghosting really fucks track aswell.

The bug is fixed on other servers. Just sayin'.

Really? This gives me hope.

The reason you get weird ghosting and track bugs has to do with anti cheat shit if I'm not mistaken. Basically, the position of other clients is only reported when you're within a certain range so things like ShowEQ won't work in PVP. I *think* this issue was addressed on the devn00b/image boxes but I guess I can't confirm that for sure.

Then again I could be talking out my asshole since I don't even know what game we're talking about.

It's cute when Bards and Druids make words about Tracking. They can't even sort.

I've got ways of using my track-list to find folks, but it would shame my kin to divulge.

Well looks like the community has spoken, the vast majority of players want a track cap that is effectively lower in pvp. If haynar questions this I challenge him to log on p99 and try to track other players. I spent over 5min today trying to find a player who was on track near the wc druid ring and never found him, the track path would always lead me to the dervish camp and when I got there where he tracked to, low and behold he wasn't even on track. Eventually he left, and I never found him in the short time I had to find him.

ya nerf my track from 200 to 70 skill to fix this.

How about fix the zone in bug which is more than likely the cause of track being fucked for players zoning in.

Obviously fixing that bug would be best but that bug has been in for what, years now?
It's never being fixed.

Track being reverted to 70 range (even just for players) though is something they could probably do quickly and at least it would work then.
