Skeletons hit from very far away. (Photo)

Yeah. Here's an earlier discussion I started about it. Well, the thread started off being about lack of range indication for the player and turned into a general range imbalance discussion.

 

I definitely felt lots of combat distance bugs were in this release. I was up on the rock and out of reach yet the mob could damage me etc.

 

I notice fireballs were curving around the rocks I would try to duck behind. Oh the imbalance of the amount of damage done by them vs. what I could do is hugely different (unbalanced in R20).

 

Yesterday I was being hit by a skeleton in Wynton's Folly which was not only too far away as in the OP screenshot, it was also hidden behind a stone wall, so at first I couldn't figure out where the blows were coming from.

 

My character start auto walking on the same spot when engaging in combat, when this happens I cannot move and usually I can't reach the mobs or rather I miss 100% mobs still hit me though. It can get stuck mid air. Pressing ESC will brake my invisible bonds until I swing my sword or get attacked again :/
ranged mobs certainly are hard when this happens

 

The interesting counter to this is that if I shoot an arrow right before my target runs behind something (say a tree) then my arrow does no damage.

 

The counter is even worse. If you literally stand on your enemy to be sure to hit it, and you go half a step too ahead, you're hit from behind, with the devastating effect of a backstab.

Solutions:

- Some subtle-but-not-too-much indicator that your target is indeed in range of your main weapon (for the spells, you're on your own, sorry). On the glyph, on the 3D world, somewhere.
- "Solid" enemies, like other players when you're both flagged PVP, so you cannot "cross" them.
