Wait until they are riding on creature mounts and in vehicles.

The servers can't even keep track of the position of a guy on foot. It's going to be 10x worse when they're moving much faster.

Yeah its bad enough now when those pansies run away and shoot during pvp.With vehicles the pansies can really get the cheap win!!!

umm...try this on for size


you think it is hard to catch a running ranged fighter now?


wait until you can only use LUNGE EVERY 30 SECS...


currently, i need 1 lunge to stop them, 1 lunge to give the client/server enough time to agree on where the mob/player ACTUALLY is, and then a few more lunges/knockdowns so i don't have to start this all over again...



wow, i made a stoplight...in any case, this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed...melee players need a way to stop ranged people from running...after the next big patch, we'll lose our only method

Ayup, one lunge doesn't usually mean you get to start hitting your target.. it usually takes 2 or 3 before you can start hitting a target which is standing under you.


If I had a dollar for every screenshot I took wheren I am <2 meters from target and I get "Your target is out of range" I'd be able to pay my subscription.

Who said anything about shooting from mounts and vehicles?I haven't seen anything from the devs to support this fact yet.

It has been said that mounts and vehicles will have gun mounts. I'm sure that at first they will not but eventually they will. Either way, there is another advantage for marksman in that I'm sure you are still a vulnerable target as an overt player on a mount. The gunman will have time to hit a mount a few times before he leaves range but there is no way we will be able to hit someone on a mount.

Taken from:


http://www.ugo.com/channels/games/features/starwars_galaxies/raphkoster.asp


"UGO: Will players have direct control over vehicles and mounts or will it be rail-based travel (as in Dark Age of Camelot)?

RK: No, you'll have direct control. And there will be combat on the mounts. It'd be hard to do Teras Kasi [the unarmed combat profession of Galaxies]. Yeah, we're not doing DAOC style mounts. More like UO [Ultima Online] style mounts."
