It's well known the bugs regarding hitboxes and projectiles, you don't even need to swing or dance like a monkey to bypass them. Already tested that aiming to the upper chest neck area it's almost a constant miss if running in a straight line, specially when with the presence of high latency. Also tested it standing still.

People that Q_Q about ranged should be quiet cause if half of our shots actually it when they should, they wouldn't be swinging like maniacs for much time.

I guess it sort of balances things..

I have seen my arrows/bolts going trew people and even horses from time to time.
Have not seen anyone hacking them away though, but i think Karasu is correct.

Its anoying when you see it happen when you are dueling a good HA/HX but it does not happen to often to make me upset about it.

[PhantomZero]

You can chamber couched lances, I've had it happen to me and I've done it to other players, from foot and on horseback.

But this reminds me of the time I horse bumped a teammate in melee, he fell down of course and then the teammate behind him threw a javelin above his head while he was getting back up in order to kill the enemy player swooping in.

But still, the more reliable way to dodge arrows is to not swing and just dance around, swinging slows you down and will also make you vulnerable to counter attack by enemy infantry.

You are not Neo.

[Templar_Ratigan]

For someone like me who has complained quietly for ages, well not quietly on ts, about stones passing through people this isnt that new, but it does let me understand why it happens.

[Tennenoth]

You are not Neo.

But I have his hairstyle therefore I am. =/

Anyway, as others have done, i'll speculate that it's just the hitbox not following the person quite accurate enough so it causes the projectile to pass through the player. Nothing another arrow can't fix, or turn and leg it because Sir Spamalot will never be able to catch you!

Japan = stagnant culture.

Globalised metropolitan= Stagnant culture

[Oberyn]

How is Japan a stagnant culture anyways?

[Henry_Broodsonson]

I  just count sequels.

Yes I saw that.

Strangely enough 3 stories from that series became reality. Car's being crushed into a cube for example.
Thinking about it it's a shame it was 30 Japan's, just 2 out.

Leshma, it's not BS, but I know you are a forum troll so w/e. Btw, this IS NOT CHAMBERING I merely discovered this while TRYING TO chamber.

People think it is just "Moving the hitbox." It is not!

The arrow or throwing weapon goes CLEAR THROUGH your upper body or head!

There is NO noise caused by this.

I am sorry I can't Fraps it, because I have no idea how, but like I said earlier, you guys can test this FOR YOURSELVES

Bold font for those in which it answers responses to.

Edit*- To test this for yourself, position yourself infront of an archer or thrower with an upper swing ready to swing (above your head). Let the swing go just as they let their shot go, and there you have it! Sometimes it will whiff due to bad timing though.

[Erathsmus]

I think it's not chambering the arrow or something.

When you do an overhit your bode it leaning down to the ground and sometimes the hitbox is weird in that moment.

Either you dodged the arrow by leaning forward or it went through you due to the weird hitbox (arrows going through people happens sometimes these days)


Every crossbow guy and every archer knows (or should know) that guys using crossbows are often accidently dodging incoming arrows by reloading their crossbow, which is almost the same animation as an overhead.

miracle solved

That is what I am suggesting, I think it is more like Miracle found, as opposed to Miracle solved.

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

Well actually when you lean forward with your swing you move your hitbox ;)

Because you can if everything is correct easily headshot a person leaning forward. So the hitbox was moved^^

And as we all know hitboxes are weird sometimes atm, so with leaning forward you moved your hitbox, but it's kinda fucked up so the arrow goes through you. This can also happen when you do just nothing

[Penitent]

I dont think this is a "chamber" or a "block"...its prolly just a bug in the swing animation that lets objects pass through you at a certain point.
