Something Odd...

Lately, i have been playing archer, and i found out something wierd.
When you press down as an archer you faceplant and lie down, right?
Why, then, do you not get impaled when you do that on spikes?
Wierd.
Anyone got reasons why the devs didn't do anything to this? Or was it just deemed unnescessary?

 

Mhm...true but,when the knights and builders kneel down on spikes they don't get hurt?
Same way they haven't thought of it yet. Funny though i guess i understand.

 

Mmh, but builders and knights stay on the same block when rouching, so its understandable.

Archers flop onto the block next to them.

 

Archers are like disgusting slimy jelly fishes, they don't feel pain.

 

Hense the 'flop' of my above post ;)

 

This is bug using.

 

I'd love to see those one spot shooting archers start impaling themselves at will.

 

How is this bug abusing? The only reason is seems like archers lie down on the space next to them is because their "crouch" allows them to hide in tall grass. If you're already on spikes, pressing down on them isn't going to harm you further. In fact, it might be useful for playing dead.

 

No, it's not. It's questioning the theory behind how an archer is allowed to 'slam' their entire body onto spikes in front of them and not get hurt.

 

1. (red knight) Hmmmmmm





Temt a knight to fall in and attack you.(your archer)
Last second-duck down so your lying down.
Knight dies or gets afterlife! (the no health bug)
Shoot him quickly.

Repeat.:)
Win!

 

That's not exactly what Beef said at all!

 

That tactic is WIN.

That was the inent of the original post.
Although it has strayed

 

I say it's bug using.

 

I like to say that a lot too, but it doesn't get me very far.

 

seriously: its clear that you havent played the good old "prince of persia" games.
of course, if one would lie down on top of some spikes, he'd get impaled.
but if YOU would lie down when standing on spikes, how would you do that?
In those prince of persia games, you had to hold the shift key: the key that makes you sneak and be carefull.
if you'd lie down on spikes carefully, you wont be hurt:
the spikes have only a tiny point where they actually touch you, but if theres lots of them, each spike will press just as hard as any other one, and your weight is completely supported by them.
a little bit easier: if one spike will impale anyone weighing more than a pound,
two spikes will need two pounds,
three --> three pounds
etc, etc, etc!
this is actually not completely correct, but its good enough for this situation.

 

I think I understand...
Not sur ehow relevant it is to the OP, could be my inferior intellect.

 

Nothing funner then tea-bagging a long sharp pole as knight, taking damage would ruin that.

 

doesnt have anything to do with inferior intellect.
most people would not even take the time to tell you that I dont have any AT ALL.
why it relates to the OP, is that it explains why its possible that one doesnt impale himself when he lies down on a spikey surface.

 

Its Actually a .25 HP Bug i beleive.
And this would be great fun as an archer :3
