I noticed this fighting Imps in moenia last night. Even though I was easily in range at 5meters, I still kept getting a "that traget is out of range" message. While the ranged guy kept pluggin away (slowly mind you- but his ability to fire wasn't affected like my ability to attack was)

Anyone else notice this? I'm assuming it's the lag, because I don't ever recall having such a problem....

yes, this is aknown bug, because where the person seems to be on your client might not be where he sees himself on his client. there have been some propositions to change this, such as some kind of /stick command, but i don't really know much about these.

yeah its a major problem.. I dont know about this "Stick" command either, looks like it would be easy to exploit.

ahhhhh doh! Sorry, I didn't realize this was what was being brought up before. I really did just notice it for the first time lastnight- I ran and ran and ran, and got shot and shot and shot...

Aye, I noticed this while dueling in some field on corellia as being the cause of the problem... same as in most 3D MMO's, from Neocron to Planetside, no-one is where they appear to be, if they are moving they are two, to even thirty plus metres ahead... They really need to fix the rates at which we recieved peoples locations, as an added problem not mentioned here is:

FOLLOW MODE is effected! Follow locks onto the model as it appears on our screen, not the real location, so if you follow your kiting target to free up your hands for some quick macro work, you are literally chasing a ghost, and you'll be standing still next to your enemies mannequin while he shoots you, and his model will fire from where he stands, but the shots are actually being fired from his real location 20m away. The character, the bolt on armour and clothing, the gun, the projectiles, every single piece of that enemy is infact somewhere else, but not on your screen.

One of the worst problems around :\

Atleast its not like neocron where everyone could walk through walls and fly because the model would simply 'chase' the real location of the player, so if they ran around three corners and climbed stairs, the model would beeline straight through the walls and ceiling, instead of following the same path.

ahhhhh I was using follow as well...

No wonder....

And honestly burst run doesn't help, if you DO succeeed in knocking down the guy, you overshoot him by METERS, and by the time you stop, turn around, hit the attack button, wait for it to load, well, he's up on his feet and off and running again......

Same thing happened to me last night. This is BS. I can take on the biggest MOBs in the game but let some novice ranged guy come along and I'm dead. Doesn't matter if I can beat his kiting tactics or not, I still cannot hit them even when I'm standing on top of them

Ineed 3 good reasons by 6:00 pm today as to why I should not go home and wipe myFencer off of my hard drive. I see absolutely no reason to keep him.

4 months of grinding and experimenting in order to make my character the best he can be and I've got to deal with this load of crap coming up on my screen

"That attack cannot be performed because the target is out of range."

BS!!!!
