Hello, it's beep again, but this time I'm not talking about the bards.
Recently on the server, I've noticed that a significant number of my arrows (including spears too) maybe around 5% (so, still significant if you think about how many arrows one shoots) are simply deflected off of my enemies. Mind you, in most situations I simply do not notice, perhaps I'm too busy firing the next arrow, or readying a melee attack, but I've been seeing arrows bounce off my enemies willy nilly more often lately. This really got to a boiling point for me personally when my spear that was about to kill a troll deflected off them, resulting in my death and moments later a 1 hit kill by an archer's axe. I mean, come on! My spear literally hit the troll and just drooped away all sad like.
I heard of and have seen in the past people deflecting fireballs, some by luck, some by skill shots with arrows or swords, others by hacks. However I've also been seeing more fireball deflects than I expect recently. I have a couple possible reasons for these problems.
a. There is some new feature, add-on, whatever, that allows people to either perform some special combination of clicks and moves and whatever and deflect an arrow or fireball. Or, more likely, there is a new feature, add-on, whatever, that causes every player to deflect say one in 20 arrows, fireballs, etc, to give the hero a better fighting chance. Both of these options are probably unlikely, and if they are true, I suggest they get shut down, this is out of control and I hate having my spears bounce off people because they got a 'heroic skill shot'
b.There is a new common hack going around that people are using to deflect arrows. I know, this one's unlikely too, and I'm rarely one to call hacker, except as a joke of course. However, I do seem to see the same people consistently deflect arrows or fireballs, perhaps not every time but more often, at least twice on me, probably more on others. Maybe this is a manipulation of a feature that may or may not exist in part a, which allows them to heroic dodge more often. Either way, all necessary actions should be taken against anyone who is hacking.
c. It's a bug. I know that I for one, and most people on the server, particularly those in 'Merica, have been experiencing some bouts of wacky lag lately. Perhaps this arrow deflection is simply a result of the increased lag. Maybe my computer thinks the troll is there, but really he's over here and my arrow just missed him, or maybe I'm not looking where I think I'm looking, so I am actually throwing at a wall. Or, maybe, there is some new bug that is found on many servers that results in increased arrow deflections. I know people are always asking for lag to be decreased, and I know that it is hard to do, so I won't ask that to happen, but if it is a bug and there is something you can do, then please do it to end this weird occurrence.
Thank you for your help, and if you have any info on this occurrence please comment below
((Psst, if you know it's a heroic skill move, someone teach it to me!
