Game Mechanics: Melee PvP on Project Red99

[Combobreaker]

Is truly atrocious, it always has been - I pushed for a fix back during Beta on the melee range problem however it has eluded a proper solution, hopefully we can change this fairly easy? fix.

There is currently NO face-check on melee pvp. You can literally stand ~10yards away, about-face & continue to swing regardless of range/distinction.

For example, rogues don't need to be facing the back of an enemy target - they just have to be placed BEHIND them. (WHICH IS BAD FOR GOOD PVPS).


Is there anyway to check the current melee range restrictions and compare them to the NPC range? I ask this because you are REQUIRED to face the npc aswell as be within close range (This is easier because mobs usually run to a set destination in front of you for engagement).

You never had to be facing them to get backstabs in. On live, I mean. You'd get them as you ran through.

That said, the way things work here for melee in general is definitely off.

I remember Rogues not having to face me to backstab, which was horseshit and definitely a bug, yet Verant never got around to fixing it (big surprise there).

Being 10 feet away and not even facing someone and wailing on them is so not right, though. Also hit rate is way too high in PvP.

Agree it's to easy to hit people on this server

IF they never fixed it early on then I guess it's whatever, not a HUGE advantage since rogues are squishy anyway.


HOWEVER!!!!


the 10 yard melee range for pvp needs to change, please

Hit rate is through the roof.

If you had that kind of hit rate in pve you would be a farming god.

[no chewie dont]

hit rate seems reasonable but the 360 degree hit box is the problem
hit box on beta seemed legit from what i remember

I'd say there's easily a 10 yard range for melee pvp when standing still, it's pretty bad

[Softcore PK]

Hitbox was always 360 degrees on live. It's a little too big, though.

Had rune 5 and 1100hp. Got pk'd by a rogue in FV - 1 miss throughout the whole fight. That's a little over the top. Even on a clothie
