Friendly Collision
Friendly Collision
I ask my self if friendly collision is necessary. I find it often just impeding. For example, a busy postern upon re-entry everybody gets stuck on each other. Also can be a pain when trying to kite in densely populated battlefield. Does it serve a purpose and if not can we look at getting rid of it? I'm referring only to friendly collision.

Re: Friendly Collision
Do you realize how OP death-balls would be if it had zero collision?
Re: Friendly Collision
I don't know if dev can remove only friendly collision.
I think without the friendly collision the game can even gain in performance , because this is a big performance taking .
I remember on live , mythic did some test (on the ptr) about this. as far as i can say , the test was done in a Fort , with like 400 people on each side. Without collision at all , the game was smooth and has stable fps. But funnel and defense became impossible.
If only ennemy collision remain , i think this can be a really cool thing. Defense is still possible , and everybody gain better performance (on ptr back in time , the gain in fps was like100% more , from 20/25 fps to 50+ but again , it was all collision removed.)

Re: Friendly Collision
About collision aza told me the two are bond together.
So impossible to remove only friendly collision and keeping ennemy one it seems

Re: Friendly Collision
Friendly collision and tank cc is what makes WAR what it is. Its about the only thing that limits deathblobs at all.
Re: Friendly Collision
Also Colission gives you the feeling that you actually "in there".
No one can in a battle walk through you and you have to find a way if you are moving backwards.
And as said, it is one of the cornerstones of AoR that Tanks can really keep opponents from moving past them.

Re: Friendly Collision
It’s part of what makes the game so good , collision is something we need to keep
Now the boxes that drop if you can change them to be walked through it will be good , they hinder combat movement and punish the aggressor,
In funnels or tight spaces they act like the keg event on live when you use to block doors with them to aid funnels

Re: Friendly Collision
Friendly collision was removed and the game play became horrible, so it was turned on again. The fps gain was no convincing argument to keep it like this.Kalt wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 8:54 am I don't know if dev can remove only friendly collision.

Re: Friendly Collision
DAOC didn't have collision.
they /stick or /follow leader.
and /assist when enemy is in target range.
what's the name of dance that ppl line up like train and circling?
exactly like that.
looked silly, felt silly
though it was only rvr game back then.
collision is evolution IMO.
now get rid of /assist macro and make it character skill.
that would be next generation of rvr game, IMO.
