Shadow Jump/Teleport

Lots of the instant port skills in the game are buggy.

Try jumping around in hilly areas on the World Map or in Disaster. These two skills can fail, jam you in the ground and once just above DW I managed to get pinged under the map by using jump on a mob.

As for FC there are two bugs that I can think of, the first is never jump to a max height harpy in a low ceiling hallway (often slopping hallways), you can be ported on top of the ceiling of the hallway and often can be out of range of people on the ground and so stuck up there. This can be done in a lot of instances, my favourite is a SS I have of me and my friend standing on the top of the church instance.

The other that I have encountered is the skill failing, I never really played much minded to it but I assumed it was to do with zones in FC. The skill would recognise that you are in range so set the skill on CD but then during the execution of the skill a zone wall made the skill fail. (This is just random musing however. So sorry i cant really help)

It could be that it is just one small variable that is failing the skill. So you may never be able to see from an in game point of view what is making it fail. What I would advise is just use the skill on well known assassin jump points in FC and other than that dont rely at all at other times.

EDIT: Sorry bad ennnngrish, may fix up later (tired now)

There is definitely something wonky as chopstick with these skills.

I don't remember EVER seeing the "You cannot use this skill" error before, but now I see it fairly regularly when porting between the mobs for Shocktrooper.

I noticed this as well, though one thing I started paying attention to is that shadow jump has a chi cost and does not go unavailable due to lack of chi like other skills do. This makes you believe you can use the skill when you actually don't have enough chi for it.

I believe there may also be some kind of bug with it as well, but when you get this error look at how much chi you have.

I've noticed similar things in different instances.

In some areas you can click teleport and it'll walk towards the target until you are in range then teleport, but in other instances you just stop where you are and get that "cannot use this skill" and stand there like an idiot. I know the ground in BH79 and Warsong is a little buggy because everyone stands a foot or so above the animated ground and I wonder if its this. Similarly, the invisible walls in Seat now won't let you teleport at mobs that are remotely near the edge, and the same thing in any instance or NW where something or someone is standing with a shoulder in a tree or wall.

But that's not what you're talking about. You're talking about mobs standing in the middle of a hall and you try to tele at them and get the "cannot teleport" message and stop moving. I think it's just a range thing and for some reason half the time you move towards the target and half the time you stop moving.

I have always has this problem in fc. Both on the groups of mobs in the halls and the elements around shocktrooper. I have found that for the elementos there are very specific points I can stand at that seem to always work, and for the hall mobs it usually works if I tab a different mob in the group after it fails. Used to drive me nuts, and I've had other sins tell me they didn't know what I was talking about so it may not happen on all clients. Now I'm used to it, and can work around it, ready to holy path if it comes down to saving someone.

Alot of times I'd get stuck in those Elementos.

i still remember those days when sot use to be extreamly glitched to shadow tp use to get stuck they still couldn't fix it in fc in some places xD b:laugh
