It sucks,Anyone else agree?  

Hit detection?

Hit detection?

The hit detection as in when you hit someone with your sword in spar or pk etc.  

huh?


I don't get the hit detection part  

lol. Hit detection is the range of the pixels your sword will detect a hit on another player, or vice versa. The actual sword image does not affect this. Some servers have more narrower, broader, longer, or shorter ranges than others.

No, I actually think it works pretty well. Seeing as you must be used to original Classic hit detection, it must seem very different. But I don't think it sucks. Just get used to how another server runs. :p  

It runs clientside, incredibly annoying. This way laggers completely own because they can run all over and spam sword all over then when it finally sends people get swords all over their screen. Needs to be calculated serverside like Era. IDK why they still use the default system.

Then again, Era is a different server, based on the narrow range of a bullet rather than the broader range of a sword. I don't think the comparison can really be addressed correctly.  

AGH Y U NO DIE LAGGERS!?

Or they can just fix it and make it better.
And btw I'm glad someone here finally knew what I was talking about lmao.  

Serverside HD was done on Classic PC and it was pretty ****ing bad. The problem is that it's an online game that needs quick and precise calculations, but doesn't have the technology to support it. The servers are too poor to support serverside HD in a way that wouldn't piss off EVERYONE.  

There are some spars when hit detection is spot-on, and some where I can flank and precisely slash without a single hit. And then, there are those spars where I completely miss and somehow record a hit. I ascribe it to clientside lag.

You have to understand the hit detection is clientside. That means the only time a hit is registered is when the other player sees YOU hit HIM. If they are lagging, either internet-wise or hardware-wise, there will be less chance of your hits registering.

I'd like to see some combination of clientside, from both your client and the opposing client(IE if YOU see your sword hit a player, it registers a hit, and if THEY see you hit them, it also registers a hit) as well as serverside detection. It'd be nice to see how a combination of all three works together.

I should also note that the problem with serverside hit detection is that because of lag, hits are registered by where the SERVER sees the players. This is often NOT synced with what the players see, so you'll often get hit and wonder how the **** you were hit/where it came from.  

Hit detection is fine the way it is. Laggers could wreck havoc in spars if it was changed the way Dust suggested.  

pointless thread :3

no this thread isn't pointless. just because you aren't a sparer and experience these problems doesn't mean you can call this "pointless"
