Any plans to fix Illusionary leap?
I have been away from the game for quite some time and I was expecting this ability to be working properly by now.
Just wondering if there has been any word on when/if Illusionary leap will be fixed.
Just to clarify I am referring to the fact that the ability fails to work far too consistently; easily over half the time I use it the clone will get stuck half way at best and will then either die or slowly make it’s way to the desired target, well after the opportune window to follow up with the second half of the ability.
It goes without saying that this can really kitten a MH sword Mesmer especially when it happens multiple times in a row.
This ability will probably always function in it’s current state. I’ve played darn near every mmo under the sun and 99% of them have trouble with X axis blinking type abilities. I’m not a coder but it has something to do with the mesh mmo’s use on the maps.
I remember WOW mages blink often bugging out if there was a rock or slight slope. I’m not sure if WOW has fixed mage blink but I know that I played wow for several years after it’s launch and it was broken until the day i quit WOW.
Maybe someone who codes or builds pc games can chime in and tell us why this issue is so consistent across games. All I know is that I’ve learned to deal with it across multiple games by not using blink type abilities on uneven ground.
Well if it’s so difficult to fix due to how the ability works Anet really need to consider changing it’s core mechanics or at least altering them, but keeping it’s function the same. Reverse the leap and the clone for example? I am sure there are plenty of viable solutions :/
Or just make the second half of the ability function like the Warriors MH sword leap.
