Enemies take FF damage when I hit them

[Spa_geh_tea]

I dont know if this is a bug, or a cheat people are pulling off the internet. But, on NA seige I got to hit enemy troops and my swings will "bounce" and do little damage as if I was hitting a freindly troop. This never happened before the patch, and has slowly become more frequent throughout my playing on the server.

Char stats, 123 polearm and 7ps hitting tunic people. So dont say my character isnt strong enough.

This is serious, and needs to be looked into. Especially if its a cheat folks are implimenting into their personal scripts.

Yeah, this isn't any sort of bug. I'm assuming you're hitting them when they're to your side like 90 degrees? If they're right next to you you can't hurt them with a polearm.

[Spa_geh_tea]

Nope, I'm at perfect distance with any type of attack(side swing, overhead, or stab). Ive been playing cRPG since inception. This never existed before and has been showing up since last week. Slowly becoming more frequent which is what really bothers me.

If you could get a video of it it would be much easier to help ya.

[Spa_geh_tea]

Ive never done that stuff, so, how would one do that?

Also ill check to see if its a random occurance, or repeated offenders

[Earthdforce]

You could use fraps or xfire, but I believe testing it out would be the best bet. If you can purposefully make it occur often enough that it's a problem, then there should be a fix.

I realize this is something you've considered as an experienced player, but could it just be the higher number of strength builds out there? There's definitely more folks with 9 IF or more than there ever was.

I remember this happening to me a few generations back. It happened a few times and it was weird but I didn't think too much of it. I think i was using polearms too so dunno if that has anything to do with it.

The attack happens exactly as if ur hitting your own allies in that the attack never goes thru the enemy but bounces off em. You can see that the person you hit does feel the hit and it isn't simply just a glance that does nothing to phase them.

Yup, thats what is happening exactly and it occurs with both my characters(pole, and a 1h/2h). However, it is more prevalent with pole-arms for some weird reason. It is not a cheat, definitely a bug and I can not quite figure out how I am initiating it. I did manage a few times to get it to occur causing me to have this effect against every enemy I encountered in that "life". I was on siege and went to the boxing arena on that one map, fought a few attackers that came by and wanted some fun. Every single one of them this FF damage bounce stuff occurred no matter their armor. Also, overheads always miss just as they do when you FF with polearms.

I just had this happen to me today, i was trying to kill some one in cloth but i hit the gate lever first (idk if this is relevant just sayin) then after that it was like i was hitting an ally, it took around 5-6 hits for me to finish him off and he was only in monk robes.

Ahh looks like I was wrong earlier. Sorry for my arrogant sounding posts

[Spa_geh_tea]

Well, using a horse on seige tends to get this bug to occur after ive been dehorsed.

It's most likely related to how horse FF is handled, but I can't see anything wrong with the code at first glance.
Does it happen when you dismount or when your horse is killed? Was it your spawn horse or a horse that you stole mid round?

From what happens to me, it's once the horse(spawn horse) is killed.

I really can't see what could be triggering the bug.
I moved some code around, it might fix it or it might not. Please report when next patch is out.
Also, if you have additional info feel free to post.
