Just curious,

Supposedly last week's big patch included increased movement penalties associated with moving and shooting and with shooting at a moving target. The Devs had talked about this as one of their proposals to help balance kiting.

Since the patch, I've mostly been doing creature missions, so I haven't run up against any kiters. Has anyone noticed if the patch changed anything significantly? Do you get hit less often when you are being kitied by a target you are following?

Just curious.

I cant kite anything with a sword...If the target moves, I cant hit it anymore...

Right, but if the target you can't hit is shooting at you, is it missing you more often now than it used to?

Well, from the other side....When running with my pistol, I do seem to miss more often. So it takes a two or three more shots. With a Pistol, this is no big deal. With slower weapons this noticable.

yeah, accuracy did get worse when running or vs. running.

And with my pistol, I had noticed previously that long range accuracy had gotten worse.

Course, it's kinda dumb that somebody with a sword seems to have a big penalty hitting with the sword, even though they're right next to the guy.

its worse than before. Still pistol hit pretty often. Was training up to see what commando would add to my pistol and i was amazed how much easier pistol was than everything else. But i guess every little bit helps.

The bigger question is

Is the person who is kiting at a higher level than you..during a duel I had to chase down a guy w/ a pistol and a carbineer.

He was wearing full Bone Armor(1st clue that I knew I could own him).

But yeah he hit me ..but he missed alot he eventually bleeded to death.

I dont care what the DEVS have said concerning us hitting whil moving...I checked his distance and at times I was 2 meters away from him and still could not hit him w/ my sword! this needs to be addressed.

I even used burst run..ran past him..stood still but because he was moving it didnt work.
