I Noticed this the last 2 days


1st instance- I was at the Geo caves and was spaming AdvStrafe ( i mean Smashing those keys) and all of the sudden i just stop doing damage. So i move my mouse over to the cobat que, and click clear repeatedly. then targeted a new MOB and try to shoot again, nothing.. im just sitting there taking damage till i finally decided "screw this and ran away"



2nd instance- Doing faction missions, Spaming Advstrafe again same thing happens. i run away and peace out, come back and finish the base and npc's.



3rd instance- While doing the faction missions that day, 2 oposite faction people show up and i play stupid and act like im pulling missions. all the while i have one of them on /exam (so im looking in the window, and i see him, 120m away raise up his carbine, and start shooting) i knew they were attacking so i ran after them, threw a poison, and HS3 the carbineer, to death. the took off after the master swordsman, thats running like hell, and finally catch up to him, but i cant attack its just sitting there while he hits me. By now my poison has him down to nothing.. but i cant do anything to him, so he flys away, and i shoulda had him..




I have +102 Rifle Speed

and use a 7.6 speed t21 for PVE

and a 5.1 speed Jawa for PvP


Even with the 7.6 im hitting every sec and sometimes a 2 a sec gets off, rare


im just wondering if im shooting to fast the game cant keep up.. or what...



any idea's??

Wow, same thing has been happening to me starting a few week's ago. I also have over 100 rifle speed due to tapes, sound's like that might be the culprit. Only way I could get it to stop was to either 1) open range to over 100m from the target, or 2) mount my bike so my shooting stops.

I don't know if that is the case guys. I'm only at the +90 for being master and I had the same problem lately. I checked the combat log and it said some kind of spamming error. Didn't pay attention to it too much, I was still under attack. Maybe it's something the devs put in to stop people from just spamming shots and actually do combat more play by play.

I have not noticed it much lately, but I have seen this happen in faction PvP. In the cases I have seen it happening, I believe there was an exploit involved because it was always "happened" in the same area against the same guild, but that obvioulsy would not be the case with NPCs (although, the NPCs on the Corvette shoot through the floors near the elevators *mumble -- darned exploiting NPCs --mumble*).


Rifle speed should not have anything to do with it. I have at most +94 speed if I have the right armor on, and I still had the problem.


By the way, with a 7.6 speed rifle, you will always hit the speed cap with a personal speed mod of only +97. Any 2 second times with that speed would be due to server lag, not the speed calculations. So if you have some speed tapes on decaying items (clothing or armor that can be damaged), I would put aside any unneeded pieces to get it down to +97 and save those peices for later or for different clothing/armor configurations.
