Commando pro

Everyone old enough to know this term already gets a +1. 

So what’s up with the commando pro melee’ing that’s going on since mid last season. It seems like it’s even worse now. 

I mean at first you had to be practically kissing your enemy to be able to land punches. Now you can be like 3m away and lunge at an enemy! It’s fun but it’s ridiculous... is it something wrong with the game or is it just how the game is now?

If it is, I’m all for it. If not then wth is happening

    @Koochi-Q

    Maybe too many players complained that landing punches required too much accuracy?

    I do not know why it is this way, but I have definitely noticed that punches range is significantly longer.

  • @Koochi-Qlarge FoV creating a little bit of a fish eye effect (close stuff appears a bit further away) + lag effect (each 100 ms of delay between you and the enemy can make a difference of over 1m) + increase of melee effective radius / angle to account for the lag (besides lag compensation).

    But I don't think it got changed recently. I remember a few season 3-4-5 moments when I died with the PK / devo in my hands by the fists of enemies that were punching me from like 5m away. My FoV was at 110 during those seasons, things got a little bit better after reducing the angle below 100.

    EDIT: Actually, the radius adjust may be to overcome the Covid related social distancing requirement of 2m :D

  • @VdstrkK so luckily it’s not just me... I started noticing around midpoint last season. At first I just thought it had something to do with the server and ppl far away connecting in with me and punching me... but it kept happening... especially characters with heirlooms have a larger lunge it seemed...

    But then I tried it and I can just see the lunge as well...

    @hayhor, you pottyhead! Get your mind out the gutter! There’s kids reading this!

    @MandatoryIDtagit is but I don’t use it often enough to really notice. Since season 5 or so I’ve had the melee assist turned off cause it annoyed me...

    @DoYaSeeMe  That was exactly my thinking but the fish eye effect isn’t the problem. It’s actually seeing them seemingly lunging at me. I have clips which I’ll post in vid thread... maybe later on... maybe next week xD. Heck I still have the one from mid season 8 which I was too lazy to post xD

  • @Koochi-Q Yeah I've seen this a lot too. I thought it was lag or something. Maybe it changed when Pathfinder Arena was added to make it easier to fight in there?

    The lunge is lolzy.  I've missed more people being too close to hit them.  It makes being in the Olympus boxing ring a true art, and the fistfights last a rather long time as people have to super anticipate the range to the punch against a moving enemy 😃
