Feign Death + Trap Bug

I can picture a poor guy BS’ing his boss on why the keyring still isn’t implemented at Acti-Blizzard.

“Oh that was an update to the client, not a patch”.

“That was just a hotfix–dont worry, we’re still on schedule for the first patch

“Well the guys over in accounting said they felt like that last one was better defined as a band aid, not a patch per-se”

Lol like the “Scheduled Maintenance” that was scheduled 5 minutes ago.

Fein in pvp is just straight broken. With leeway and fein broken warriors just eat you for lunch. Its already hard to win vs a warrior but if you cant fein you have 0 chance. This is getting real old. It works maybe 50% of the time

hey! just wondering if this will EVER be fixed ? :slightly_smiling_face: the hunter’s most important spell being broken isnt good ! :slightly_smiling_face:

If we’re luck they might try and fix it again in 2 years.

Don’t think I’ll wait that long.

I gave up on my hunter at 60 after i tested it pvp wise. I was one of the better hunters on my server in classic and it’s embarrassing how messed up hunter is atm. The way spell batching works and the atrociousness of “Leeway” makes hunters ez kills

It is truly ridiculous… This present incarnation makes playing a hunter outside of a zerg pack impossible VS anyone that has an actual brain in their head. Even if they’re decidedly worse and you can easily tell; you’re never going to defeat them even though you should simply because the game engine is a PILE OF POOP.

I really pity rogues too, because like us their kit depends on the game engine working correctly, and this is just not it…

Blizzard can lie to us or make believe that actual vanilla played like this; some will say it was because our internet was bad back then… Dude in 2004 I had what was considered “Great” internet, I had 1 meg download and 1 meg upload with a 45ms latency connection to Blizzard…

That kind of latency is still considered “Great” for most players, hell I would not be surprised if some are just barely there now 15 years later…

Now days I have a 28 ms connection typically with occasional bumps into the mid 30’s… For me my connection to Blizzard in reality excluding the maximum volume that I can download at has not really changed much at all in any kind of meaningful way.

MEANWHILE in Classic 2019 my game plays WORSE than it did in 2004 while I am using entire orders of magnitude better hardware…

There is no rational excuse for this kind of low quality… They need to just un-ruin the system, Leeway may have been a thing in Vanilla but it was set up in such a way that you did not notice it as a player, I never had enemy players or NPC’s hitting me with melee attacks at absurd 50+ yard distances at all EVER.

Nor did I have warriors clobbering me from outside melee range while they were effectively inside “Charge” range… This game is so broken that I am simply going to do whatever one else did… Play a different class; it’s sad that I have to change my class simply because Blizzard busted their game…

Most of the pvp’rs have re rolled to abuse the leeway mechanic and take advantage of bugs and what not. Hunter IS NOT good in pvp.

Hunter use to be wpvp gods now they’re trash. How does blizz explain that?

Sure more knowledge of classes now days helps a lot but FD/Trap not working with bgs coming out is an absolute joke

Some one is going to say “oh but players got better” NO… No they have not, I have see worse play in Classic 2019 than I did in actual Vanilla.

The kind of mistakes and garbage tier play I have seen in “Classic 2019” is inexcusable and it’s all made possible by this horrible imitation batching and wonky leeway.

Dude I am about to make a warrior and name it Leeway, because that’s how freaking broken it really is. If I could re-name my Priest I would name him “Batching”.

You guys still whining about this? I mean look at the date this post was created … … … … 3 MONTHS AGO.

Not to be mean or anything but, this WON’T get fixed (Or i dare you prove me wrong Act…i mean Blizzard).

And yes, the leeway and batching are broken as F in this game, literally ruining it’s hunter population, and more. Meanwhile i’m just enjoying myself with other NON BROKEN games.

After all since they don’t care, why should i?

it should be constantly whined about. but I agree with your other sentiment that people should just give up on blizzard. I can’t believe I actually came back for classic-I never thought I would give blizzard another chance. care to share what other games you are enjoying? I am looking for other things to play but it’s barren out there

Still wondering if this issue will be resolved or I should just quit the game? Not re-rolling, if its not fixed then why waste the time to find out what other classes are broken… just sad at this point. It seems this is a bug that is caused by spell batching and will NEVER be fixed…

I’ve been using it successfully for a while now. /petpassive /cast feigndeath and your traps become usable at about a second delay after you click it. The delay is reasonable and fair, gives a warrior or rogue a split second chance to back off and not get trapped if the have the discipline to do so. I use it all the time in PVP with good success and have no complaints.

Still horribly bugged, and even more so while in a group or battleground. FD trap without a scatter or stun works 20% of the time. Fix this trashcan of a recreation

Sadly I’ve decided to cancel my sub, mostly because they aren’t fixing this and because they decided to ban a player and take back his prize money for standing up for Democracy and freedom in Hong Kong.

(here’s where I tried to provide a link to a site that talks about said banned player but links are not allowed lol)

I’ve loved this game since it came out in 2004 or whenever. But every time I get I fall in love with a class and get good and get to high lvl Blizz decides to nerf something, generally in favor of Mages. It’s interesting they banned the player who was pro Democracy because they are constantly making choices that are dictatorial and anti-democracy. Can’t blame a single person for choosing private servers. We paid for the game and they keep changing the game.

My last reason is because they are avoiding contact from customers. Used to be pretty easy to talk to customer service or a GM, now they hand out Bachelors Degrees on how to contact Blizzard lol (joke). But seriously why would we hand out our cash to a company that won’t fix its product and refuses to be talked to by its customers?
