Leeway update

Ogimirak:

Ziryus:

That’s fine except that a lot of people who have actually played for any real length of time are reporting the same issues so I doubt it’s just me.

Please. Nobody noticed this until some streamers did some detailed analysis on it, were surprised and reported it as a bug.

Since then everyone is a leeway “expert” and it’s ruining the game even though no one was even aware of it until the original video was posted.

Honestly, this is all most likely just a bunch of butthurt ranged pvp’ers who don’t like that melee range are getting a perceived advantage (one that they’ve always had but nobody noticed) so they are now trying to get them nerfed.

Which is another true #NoChange… whining pvp’ers begging for nerfs to other classes. It’s neverending.

No that’s just when it started to get out onto the forums, I noticed it pretty much as soon as i started to get to a high enough level where combat becomes a little more involved than 1 ability.

We all know leeway was not on private servers

Eaglesgift-ravenholdt · July 10, 2019, 4:53pm

Now I am to believe you were involved in enough wPVP in beta to notice leeway was getting out of hand? Please.

HE NOTICED IT RIGHT AWAY

Kindwolf-emerald-dream · July 10, 2019, 5:08pm

I’ll play both thanks fanboy.

Ziryus-doomhammer · July 10, 2019, 5:12pm

/shrug I think it’s going to be funny when all the people ranting about #nochange realize that these mechanics really aren’t working the way they worked or felt in vanilla.

Qklazsiqh-alexstrasza · July 10, 2019, 5:25pm

This would explain why melee range felt so wonky sometimes back then.

Ogimirak-medivh · July 10, 2019, 6:07pm

We’ll adapt.

Ogimirak-medivh · July 10, 2019, 6:08pm

Just making a joke, man. That’s why I put the REEEEEEEEE in it.

Eloraell-moon-guard · July 10, 2019, 6:13pm

We are not making up a new game here. Blizzard is recreating 1.12 as it was. Leeway was added to the game back then and has remained since. It’s not something they removed when internet speeds got better.

That would be the problem.

Aeternus-stonemaul · July 10, 2019, 6:45pm

I am seeing some posts where leeway was not included in ps…is this true? no layering either or sharding…you mean we can play wow without sharding layering amd leeway for…free? lmao. its going to end up where the dang ps are more appealing than blizz’s authentic layering kek and 10+ yard melee ghost attack leeways. leeeeeewayyyyjunkinzzzzz. yay.

Eloraell-moon-guard · July 10, 2019, 6:47pm

See you on August 27th!

Aeternus-stonemaul · July 10, 2019, 6:58pm

you will see me on august 27th. i will sub…for one month. i was initially planning on 6 months. but now its just 1 to see how all this nonsense pans out. im giving it a chance, but the first time i lose wpvp because some clown attacks me from across my screen, im done. thats just amateur coding/management in today’s environment. theres no room for that garbage. ill base it on my own experience. however, the videos on youtube from streamers and videos posted in these threads look absolutely atrocious. I dont understand why people follow asmongold when he obviously calls it out as an advantage and advocates rolling melee because of it. the people on this forum calling it “minor” absolutely contradicts the streamers who are calling it “game changing” “significant advantage” “woooow thats awesome!” “tauren warrior is the new meta” and so on. but you guys just keep those blinders on…

Qklazsiqh-alexstrasza · July 10, 2019, 6:59pm

I prefer not having the leeway, but it certainly won’t make me go to pservers.

Lucitia-kelthuzad · July 10, 2019, 7:24pm

I think we’d know if something like this was blizzlike:

Any “leeway” in vanilla was Client-side, this is server side “batching” which creates scenarios where tauren hit from football fields away.

Kindwolf-emerald-dream · July 10, 2019, 7:43pm

Might be for you.

Eloraell-moon-guard · July 10, 2019, 7:43pm

Well no. Not a problem for me.

But if you think that changing the game is going to happen… sorry…

Kindwolf-emerald-dream · July 10, 2019, 7:46pm

Meh it’s not vanilla, so it’s completely different in my book. I’m all for QoL changes along with fixing broken mechanics.

And it’s quaint you think Blizzard won’t cater to it’s player base.

Galdor-maelstrom · July 10, 2019, 7:59pm

Ogimirak-medivh · July 10, 2019, 8:10pm

So you’re telling me that leeway was in Vanilla and that Tauren warriors COULD hit from a distance?

Nice catch.
