Thread: VK 5m distance even working?

I notice no difference versus players.


Stopped by Yavin today to test it out. Pre patch,the supposed 5m distance patch I could not hit any Giant Crystal Snake because everytime I got close to one to land a blow it would slither away and just stay within reach of nailing me and my usual "target is out of distance" spam.


Well with the 5m increase patch, it still does that.


I don't think it went in.

The problem is with the snakes. They have long bodies and the actual "spot" you have to hit is in the middle which you cant reach after the snake positions itself.

I got same issue too with snakes, and so does my pet. So what happens is if my pet aggroes onto it the snake and pet run into infinite loop god knows where. They both trying to reposition for combat end up running away pretty quick.

Unless it was fixed today, mine is still at 3m

I think the issue is you may need to purchase a post patch knuckler. I don't believe they modified existing wepons.

Mamiens = 3m


Snakes = 3m (keep moving out of range)


Gackle Bats = 3m


The stupid dogs = 3m



VKs are still 3m. If your lucky and you inch up you can do a very very close 4m, otherwise 4m = out of range. Nothing has been fixed with the Vks range that I can see unless its only on NEW Vks, but I have yet to test out that 'last hope'.

I'm puzzled. Although it is true that snakes (recluses on Lok) give me this problem, they do it because they move to 6m away.


I have ALWAYS (for weeks at least) been able to hit anything 5m or closer.


Am I missing something here. I find this anomoly disturbing.

BTW, my VKs are 3weeks old.

I'm not sure why that happens, but sometimes I've been able to hit things at 5m as well, but only bigger creatures. Walk up to an NPC that you can attack and see what range you're at when you're finally able to attack.

Well, awhile ago I asked Holo why the range wasn't going to be set to 8m like without VK's. He said he'd ask, but I think its one of those things that he selectively forgot to do. I have no idea why they were even thinking about 5m when normally it should be 8m. Go figure.

I'm with Glib, 5 with VK's on, 7-8 (Can't recall) without VK's. They need to just remove the range differences and just make VK's operate off unarmed. Giving us the cert at TK Novice and then basically prevent us from using them in PvP seems kinda lame. I'm not going to shorten my range when I need it most.
