Catapult exploit

So.. I was explaining how to use it on few servers so everybody could do it too, and game would be more fun. I already teached some people how to use it, and they are doing it well. Just stand near catapult and keep holding F + some of WSAD buttons (it depends on direction where you want to fly). Your char should start flashing and teleporting/lagging/speeding. When the char is in air, you can release the F button, and your char should be launched into air, or teleported/speeded however you call it. Sometimes (i'm not sure - perhaps in more lagged servers) you can control the flashing fly before you release the F.

This glitch allows:
Launch yourself alone from catapult - without any help.
Launch practically as high as you want.
Control the fly during flashing if the server is more lagged (?).
Sometimes reduce falling damage - if you know how to control.
Get behind enemy lines.
Destroy enemy skybridges after successfull landing or throwing bomb while falling :).

It makes game more balanced, especially when people still make unreal long skybridges. This glitch couse you to build anti-air constructions and.. skybridges are useless. I would advise you to fix this bug same as skybridges.

P.S. Of course there are also other bugs, for example - walking through the blocks, but i'm not sure how to use it, or building outpost on the very bottom of map from 5 wood and 5 gold (i'm not sure if it was fixed or not). If nobody would use bugs, nobody would know about them, especially devs. Remember - it's still alpha/beta.

Edit by Shadlington: Moved from report abuse thread

 

theres also a bug that allows one to be launched from a broken catapult.

 

Is it reproducible?

 

yeah you just go and press F as you normally would.

 

I accidentally did this when I was trying to get rid of my bomb near a cata.

 

bomb in hand,walk to broken cata to throw bomb to enemy...
bomb wont go. SUPRISE.

 

There should be a way to launch yourself in single player

 

I do find glitches and bugs - and what i noticed?
That work ONLY on lagged servers, so on servers like 150x150, 200x200 catapult cannot be glitched. If you don't belive me - try that on single player (where no lags exist).

 

Glad its being fixed.
