Not really arguing that. What Im wondering is whether or not we didn’t see it that way because of how connections were then as well as how batching worked.
Im not sure we have a way to replicate that.
Valid point. I have some old videos on my rogue in pvp back from vanilla that I took a look at and I definitely see leeway existing. I even see that my playstyle was to constantly strafe back and forth behind my target as I was performing backstabs so that as they try to move away I gained the extra distance.
What I do see though is that I didn’t have the distance I’ve seen in the beta videos and the leeway would drop off as I would enter in and out of general melee range. I was able to crippling psn kite warriors in their charge range and situationally pop into melee once a stun was off CD. I’m also seeing quite a few videos of mage farming videos from vanilla (not pservers) where they weren’t getting hit by slowed or frozen targets from these type of distances on beta.
I don’t doubt there aren’t some bugs with NPC’s and how they act, just wondering if its actually leeway causing that or something else.
Frankly I’m kind of wondering if the spell batch mimic they are running isn’t causing most of the issues as we know it is just a recreation, not the exact process.
I can still force it, though I was only testing Spell personally. There’s videos from 2016 of the melee leeway still being an extra 2 yards or so.
I think the main takeaway here is that the video is showing it isnt functioning or performing at the same distance as in vanilla. also, aoe farming is not the same because of the way leeway is implemented and therefore creating an unintended change. it needs to be reviewed by blizz. who wants classic to remain changed to that kind of sloppy play? well besides you, galdor (warrior), or any other melee looking to hide exploits/unintended gameplay advantages.
You are upset over something that was part of vanilla. That’s…pathetic.
They stated it was in classic and is intended. Referring to it as an exploit weakens your argument.
Since I will be flag running when the BGs open up, of course I don’t like it. However, I vividly remember in classic on occasion thinking, “How was he able to hamstring from that far?”
I prefer to recreate the whole experience.
you are arguing for something that isnt working as it was in vanilla. thats pathetic. fix or remove leeway. we dont need melee attacks from ranged. dumb.
Yeah seems a bit silly how the range increases when moving.
Then again if it’s authentic it’s authentic.
I would not mind if they tweaked it to be a bit less authentic though it’s not really a big issue for me.
so you prefer glitchy slop to cleaner more accurate gameplay…and the idea of melee attacking at ranged is “ok with you”. great for you and lucky for blizzard they have some customers who dont mind sloppy play. even if its sloppier than it actually was in vanilla. i think the ps are gonna win with this kinda logic from blizz.
No I said it doesn’t matter to me all that much, don’t put words into my mouth I never said anything about PREFERRING it.
didnt the ps take this out entirely? can you imagine all those players pissing and moaning because their ps are cleaner and seemingly less buggy than classic? this is what blizz wants? lmao.
Why are you talking about pirate servers?
This leeway thing is not a bug it’s a mechanic and the question of whether or not it should be in the game is rather nuanced.
If it was like so in the original game then removing or altering it would be non authentic. Now the question is should something be done about it.
And the answer is maybe.
And that is a subjective point of view type of a thing.
To me it does not matter all that much. But I would suppose it’s more meaningful for those more interested of the PVP aspects of the game.
plz stop with the “authentic” RHETORIC. because layering only at launch is “authentic”. because layering until phase 2, or who knows when, is “authentic”. in this case, melee attacking from 10 + yards is not authentic. and even if it were, its not necessary to keep a mechanic at its same spec, if it is creating inauthentic gameplay today. use some common sense for the love of azeroth. tune it or dump it. dont say “authentic…but only when blizz feels like it”. its hypocritical. it stinks of “you think you do, but you dont”.
Why not just read my stuff on Leeway and be done with it. We all know leeway in Classic is wrong. Every1 will stop being delusional eventually.
GJ to Aeternus for fighting the good fight, keep it up.
It’s Sunday everyday here in Classic forum land.
galdor, cant you request a transfer to general forums or something? you sound tired. ![:rofl:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/rofl.png?v=6" ":rofl:")
You should go back to your pserver forums, seems like Classic isn’t for you.
That guy/girl/animal whatever it is had over 11k post in a month lol. If they’re not being paid that’s actually pathetic
