Issue With Shields

The current system of shield laddering is great, except for one problem.

Archers.

There have been many cases where and archer comes flying down after grappling. Because the grapple acts like a bungee cord, they will be OK even if we are not there. However, when we are there they slam down onto our shields throwing us to the ground. We take no fall damage, but glitch out really bad, sometimes clipping through the map.

It happens with builders and other knights too, but not that much for it to be a problem.

I don't know what can be done to fix it while keeping the current system intact, but I would like something to be done.

Anyone have any ideas on what could be done to fix this or if you all even consider this a big enough problem to fix.

 

Are you talking about archers on your team, or the enemy team?

I think physically pushing knights off of walls that way is a really good tactic. I think the falling through ground issues you speak of are server sided, having to do with server lag and such.

 

This is server sided. It happens sometimes.

 

i've had full frontal assaults on towers thwarted by a friendly builder / archer landing on my shield while it's faced up. the worst feeling.

 

Im talking specifically about archers ON YOUR OWN TEAM.

It makes sense for enemy team members to do this, but when your own team members can jump on to your shield while you are gliding or scaling a wall and knock you down to ground, it gets annoying.

 

I didn't know it was possible, for now on I shall knock down every knight ignoring my arrow ladders.
