Are you sure you got melee select when swooping at them? , cause if you dont it wont let you start meleeMyrmidon said:i liked using the beams very much, thank you, the new melee also seems to have incredibly buggy collision detection, that or I just cant start melee ever, becuase no matter who, what, when, where, or how i run into a person i cant start melee, yet they can start it plenty of times, so im forced to using really fast/insta shooting things to fight back.
You need the Melee weapon slot selected in order for you to be able to use the melee. Otherwise youll just swoop into and around them.Myrmidon said:i run into a person i cant start melee, yet they can start it plenty of times.
You also have to "aim" in this version too. Last time I remembered people just dont stand around waiting to get their ass handed to them ^_^Myrmidon said:Well for instance, the new melee is retarded. Sure, its "fun" for some people, but how difficult is it to tap the forward key 2 times and just move towards someone? At least you used to have to AIM, and when your defending, the only way to defend is to simply attempt to attack back, or hit all the stupid arrows.
Okay, I know it seems like we need another 5 years of testing, but this is the odd thing... The only 'confirmed' is associated with the bots. The whole "join a server, it crashes 50% of the time 2 seconds later" thing is new. We spent tripled our testing efforts for beta 1.2 and we NEVER had this bug. I'm assuming it has to do something with the server configurations, or maybe how the "release" dlls are compiled, since we never got them with the debug dlls.... And quite actually, I've never gotten this crashing bug myself.Myrmidon said:Second, there are so many bugs its insane, this game needs another 2 months of in-house testing.
There was a small error in the code that didnt allow the cvars to be saved, it's already fixed in the patch.Myrmidon said:Im not sure if the music is SUPPOSED to be playing or not, but since I installed "mp3's" I assume it is, it dosent work, at all
Maybe you're joining bad servers? I've played on servers with 16 poeple and my lag was great. If anything my PC started to chug, but my ping was great. Also due to the nature of the melee system, you can have relitivly high ping and still defend/attack.Myrmidon said:The WORST though, is the lag, why does it lag so bad? My ping is insane no matter what server I join, it says I have a 50-60 ping, I join and my ping spikes to several hundred for a few seconds every... couple of seconds. I loved the last release, but I doubt anybody still plays it on steam, some of you apparently enjoy this, but I doubt its fun your getting from it.
