An attack that hits for 20 metres... is that in a straight line or does it follow terrain formations?

    Appears to be a straight line from you to the target regardless of terrain or objects. You can shoot an arrow, cast a spell straight through anything.

    Well, unless the terrain were a hill between you and the monster, in which case I think your char would run until it'd be 20 metres from the mob with the terrain included. If you're talking about walls and the like, yeah, 20 metres from you to the mob, but I don't think the 20 metre straight line works with hills.

    I dunno, I may be wrong, but from experience it feels like that.

    I'm quite sure it's just 20m linear. The hill thing is just an elevation issue, I guess.

    Try shooting a mob from the slope of a hill at your maxed distance and you will see how fast the mob is able to reach you.

    me think mobs ignore teh Z axis.
    they move faster then they should.
    X_x'
    while we get slowed by it.

    (also mobs can go vertically up a few hundred meters in a blink of an eye.)
    xD

    My Dear Hamsta.. you are absolutely right . Y axis is basically ignored and to the mob, the X axis is still a very short distance.

    Yep, you can see that in FB59 where the mob just runs up the wall. It's only 1meter for them, so they do it in no time. And no skil (skil also is effected by hight), or person can reach them.
    Really frustrating when they stand just a tiny bit above your head and 2 stamps drop, just outside of reach b:cry

    Hm lol melee mobs will still magically hit you even if you ride past them 5-10 metres on a mount. And if this game had any kind of physics you wouldn't have a dozen people or mobs stacked on top of eachother.
    I am a Demon Axe/Fist BM and proud of it. b:victory

    Played for 4 months between 09.21.09-01.18.10

    Then quit playing a game that I had grown to hate every day. b:bye
