No need to face opponent for hitting in melee?

[Lovely]

Meleeeeee OPness. It's crazy how easy it is to hit people on beta atm as a melee. Live wasn't even close.. Not that I care since ill be melee main later on anyway [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The difference is less than 1 loc for hitbox range, the only reason its different here than live is due to the lack of dial up connections that we had in 99.

Thanks Rogean.

Melee is OP
Casters are OP
Seems balanced.
Also this shit IS classic.

pvp champs can still joust btw

pretty sure this wasn't classic. the run-through backstab joust that you all remember involved running through the other person while still standing inside of their hitbox. pretty sure that being outside of someone's hitbox and facing away while autoattacking is not classic. it's cool though cause i was thinking of rolling a warrior anyway. Thanks rogean!

This was definitely part of classic. I remember getting pissed when I would hide behind walls and the guy I was hiding from would start hitting me from the otherside of a wall. It was eventually patched.

how does hitting through walls have anything to do with hitting people that are standing behind you?

I've played with the attack code on VZTZ. There is no differentiation between what direction you are facing in the early code IIRC.. There is a hitbox and a distance in which you must be within in order to hit someone. Early emu servers reduced hitbox to the point of impossibility because it starts from the front of your character.

Right now the hitbox is set at what classic was. It was not until later when they fixed directional hitboxes. I believe they just added in a sophisticated sensory system similar to the one used for backstab (which you'll find works in a huge radius 'behind' a person)
