Combat

[Morgana]

Okay, I can't take the whines, the pessimists, everyone who feels I'm a shoulder that's in sympathy with the Combat system (mainly I think it's the AIM). I don't hunt anymore and haven't in about 6 months. I've moved on and found something else to do that allows me to contribute to making things more fun.

So now that my whining is over, I've question:

How hard is it to put the old combat system back in place until the new combat system can be unbroken, or fixed or whatever it is they gun-wielding people complain to me about? I don't know if the old one was tossed and it's a new system or it's combined. Just wondering if you've the old system in a backup tape storage or equivelent.

Also would anyone be for doing something like that (Players or a GMs)?

I know the GM's are extremely busy with Live. But it's an idea to keep those gun-loving-aiming type player base happy. And maybe keeping them perkier will help us get the funds to kill the blarghyblargblah lag.

To my knowledge, nothing was actually changed with AIM, the problem is caused solely by the lag. This is the same thing causing delay problems with any timed event such as invocations, spell preparations, etc.

Once the new server is in place, that should be fixed.

That post was in February. Combat things have been wonky since late summer early fall of 2005.

i'd love for aim to not be a requirement for now.

Moved this thread to the combat folder.

And if aiming were removed from ranged combat, I think a fair additional change would/should be significantly higher roundtime on guns (both firearms and pulse)/bows to put them more in line with the less-accurate melee weapons.

Yeah perhaps, but to toss out a figure off hand, I'd put us at about 40-50% right now.

- As a temporary measure due to a lagged out AIM command, aiming is now
instantaneous. This will be reverted once server lag issues are resolved.
