ya it should be like 8 or 10m imo, or improve lunge

No sh1t, im always knocking down people, and then it says they are out of range because they slide all over the place. End result is I dont get a hit on and they recover. They really gotta fix this lag.

yup lag is to blame. server end lag and user end. the sad thing is there isnt much you can do.


if they increased melee range someone would find a way to exploit it. the people who were lag free would now attack in melee at 10m.

changing the range isnt an option, but yeah the lag issue could be helped.

what about increasing the taunt range past 15m? this is our best way to aggro mobs off ranged group members outdamaging us. 15m taunt really really sucks. When the krayt or other mob warps 60m away its not very usefull in drawing the aggro away.

taunt range is already 15m

I cant see how adding 3m to 5m would be a exploit?

why range dont need to worry about this ,

Yeah, I hate that KD and then they slideaway. And the worst part is, they're ranged so you've been chasing them around forever and then you finally catch them and knock them down but they slide away and it ammounts to nothing. I hate it, they need to rid the lag or give us a range of atleast 10.

bad choice of words on my part. i forgot that you cant use the term exploit with online gaming. i meant it as take advantage of.

what im saying is that giving everyone 5m more range will help the people who have horrible lag, but the people that dont have lag become more powerful because they can truely attack at 10m or so.

i dont think adding range (beyond lunge and such) is the answer. server stability and a decrease in lag will have to be what gets fixed.

You must have a pretty long melee weapon to be able to attack something more then 5 METERS away from you. Do you understand that 5 meters is the equivilant of 16 feet ? Even that is unreal. How can someone with a melee weapon attack something that is 16 feet away........ ? And your asking for more ? I'm melee myself, so don't say I'm only saying this because I'm ranged or non of that BS. Say if they increased the range to 1-6 meters... that would be your attacking something 19 feet away from you, with a melee weapon. Thats insane. Measurement in this game is messed up anyways. Meters are more like feet in this game. When your five meters from something, you seem like your 5 feet from something. When your actually five meters from something, you would be 16 feet from it, so 16 foot steps, not 5. They need to change this measurement system.
