Terrible shield bug 1.154

[mikeboix]

I have talked to some guys who has the same problem than me, so I can't believe nobody speaks about it in here.

With patch 1.154, there is a huge bug with the shields. When I shoot an arrow or throw a javelin against somebody covering with a shield, if I trie to hit him at the legs, the shield stops the projectile and I can't hurt him.
So the shields have some kind of gravity attraction, even if the shield is as little as a buckler.

No one else has noticed it?

it's not a bug, it is a feature. It's based on the 'shield' skill of a troop/player/agent. It is to represent that normally you could move your shield around and block an arrow.
A shield skill of 10 will shield your entire front and perhaps a bit on the side. Shield skill 0 will shield only the size of the shield or less.

Oh, really? But the npcs can also move de shields, right?

By moving you mean, putting your or their camera up and down which looks really silly and is annoying to use?

Yes, that's it

It's supposed to be this way though I admit I'm not a fan of mismatch between graphics and gameplay. It's the same thing with weapons that are longer than their models suggest.

It's a fail feature basically.

+1. This feature wasn't in 1.153, right?

 

[Scully]

No it's always been in the game.

Sure? I always shooted arrows at the enemy's legs... but when I uploaded to 1.154 I found this ****.

It has always been in the game, and I am sure they have found a better way to deal with this in MB2, or at least I hope so.
