shooting from hay and other objects where the enemy cant see you is fine in normal battles i dont see why it wouldnt be on strat battles
For two reasons :
-maybe because the ennemy can actually see you if he pays attention
-because the object in wich they are hiding is ALWAYS SMALL ! If you notice a shooting from there, you can blindly shoot at it too, and hit something.
In this case, there's a huge wall, where range can easily sidestep, and stay invisible, and there's no way you can dodge arrows since you don't know WHEN they're going to shoot.
I don't know HOW you can compare this situation to normal battles.
To the people saying : "they got there themselves, so they deserve that advantage", i call bullshit.
How hard do you think it is to hide in a destroyed wall, when the offenders/attackers have their forward spawn just behind it, while the defenders spawn on top of the other walls, where there's actually fighting going on.
There is litteraly no way for defenders to hold this breach, since attackers swarm it way more effectively.
I just heavily despise the range exploiting this bug. It even makes me sad when the players have enough skills to do well in normal situations, and don't have to exploit this shit.
It should be under the common sense rule, that you can't shoot from there...
I'm all for a punishment for griefing for players abusing this. Just make it clear not to SHOOT from there. How hard and gamebreaking will this simple rule be ?
On another note, i also have screenshots of this exact incident at our own Guard's castle, still not taken, because i was really frustrated by this one sided situation.
