[graphics glitch] Players being sent flying.

[Teala]

I dunno what causes this, but sometimes when a player is hit they get sent flying(those from horseback) sometimes 10+ meters from where they were knocked off their horse or when their horse is slain they(the player that was riding the horse) appear to slide across the ground for some good distance.  What causes this and how can it be fixed?  Is this a latency issue tied around the physics engine when it tries to caculate where the player would end up?  Explain please.

Flying players (and horses) are hilarious. Heh.

On a serious note, I believe these are some of the (many) things they're hoping to fix with the new physics system I've heard they're working on. Don't quote me on that though. >_>

I hit someone with a warhammer once and on my screen they flew back 10 feet against a wall during knockdown animation. It was epic. Then they repopped in the correct spot getting up and hit me in the back. Still, was pretty amazing.

I am hoping they fix some of these glitches with the physics as cactus said, though to some extent the 'power jumping' is a little bit of a skill in knowing the map and moving. I still don't consistently hit the side wall coming up the ladder in village so I can get over to the rooftop. I've seen some really nice movement around the walls on ruined fort as well by utilizing the power jump.

In all honesty though it would probably help map makers and players alike if the environment behaved correctly

If it was just graphics I wouldn't mind. But when a horseman falls 100 meters away from the horse, it means I can't hit him again before he gets up.

That's true, definitely not just graphics. I've also seen infantry get knocked or jump 50ft into the air, and die on impact.


Still, though, playing Ruined Fort and seeing a horse fly off into the horizon.. that's just too good for words. Heh.

Also happens with throwing weapons (and maybe arrows/bolts). Hilarious to see people get knocked down from towers by javelins.

this bug has been around since 5.0 defintaly my favorite bug, u feel bad for dyeing but its so awesome at the same time illl kinda miss it when it is fixed.

 

[ares007]

yes, this is definitely a bug that affects gameplay. However, if there is a bug that makes things more fun, this is it

I especially love when you kill the horse, the rider gets thrown off, runs into a wall, then goes flying about 50 feet in the air and dies when he lands

it also happens with kicks sometimes, its quite funny to see
