Immunity to arrows - "transparent" targets? Bug or haccck?

[Niemand]

Same Problem here sometimes.

But its not your ping. its not the lag. its the archer-nerf!

But its not your ping. its not the lag. its the archer-nerf!

in fact its not an archer-nerf, it's a everyone's buff against archers. even an archer is damn hard to hit for the other archers

but thats ok, it is still possible to hit any target.

The opposite happens as well, I've had this happen with throwing lances several times. The lance passes over the target, then, a moment later it sprouts inside their face O.o

Some weird quirks like that which, probably can't be blamed on lag.

I don't think its lag. I think there is a bug somewhere. My throwing axes will, at any given throw, disappear in mid-air or go through someone. I've thrown axes directly into trees, heard the thunk, walk up to the tree and find the axe on the ground behind the tree. Pretty sure lag didn't cause that.

It's a bug. Definitely not lag or ping. It has been around from warband beta. I'm not 100% sure but from my experience I would say that it happens more often with the head hitbox.

Well these bugs became more apparant since the last batch of patches, I don't remember whinging about phantom blocks and crap before the last lot of patches. I'll block left, the enemy swings right and still kills me. I'll block up and he'll do an overhead and still kills me. I've seen arrows that were meant to hit me, suddenly go slow motion infront of me as if they're hitting an invisible wall then dissapear.

I've stabbed people with spears, that appear to go through their chest without inflicting even a stun, only to have the person I stabbed casually walk forward and kill me with an overhead.

Really frustrating as alot of my deaths are a result of this bug recently.

thanks for all your replies, guys!

so another bug, I guessed so. *sigh*

This game has a lot of them - and still manages to be fun, lol
But it is really funny that a not-so-old game does not manage to get simple things like collision detection (magic walls that lead to off-the-map-nirvana, massive doors that you can hit through, etc.) and hitboxes right. It also still gets me annoyed that walls extend into the air (your arrows stick in the air besides the wall, when you shoot very near to a corner), ladders have 50cm to 1m solid air added on top, where arrows and axes hang and defy gravity... etc...

So - solution: if your arrows go through someone, walk up to him and slay him. If that is not possible, shoot someone else. LOL

I like the floating ladders that hang up in the sky where no player would ever be able to place them.  Sometimes you can get an entire squadron of ladders just hanging there as though frozen in amber.
Quite pretty really. 

*goes of to write poetry about wanderin as lonely as a ladder.*

The issue where projectiles stick into the "air" next to a wall or tree is the invisible box around the object. Its not an issue when the object is normal size. But when it is doubled for a map, the invisible box around it also increases. I noticed this when I first got into making maps. I make a tree double its size and suddenly it has a force field around it. Thats not a bug but a limitation with the game objects.

I tend to concur. Ive swung my mace through an enemy in front of me, only to have it swish through them like a mist and nail my teammate behind them instead.
