Strange Bug

    A few minutes ago I was on the HA server. I was at the blue team's castle by the door, above a spike pit with a bomb, when suddenly my knight teleported to the top of the tower. So of course, I was voted off the server, and I don't blame whoever voted me off because it definitely looked like I was hacking. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Loki was there and I'm pretty sure Ha1ter was too.

    There was an odd bug where you'd be teleported to the top of the map behind enemy lines, and eventually fall down. There's one about at the moment where the screen just goes the colour of sky, but you no longer have a character, or scenery, or, uh, much of anything really. Also there's something where if you try to squeeze through a 2 block diagonal hole, and it goes up a few paces, you'll stagger/port up really quickly to the top. Related?

    So really, these kinds of bugs aren't rare. This particular one hasn't happened to me yet, but once it becomes known I doubt you'll be kicked again. Sounds strange but relatively harmless. I bet MM will have it sorted by the time the next update rolls around too!

    Yeah, this has happened to me as well. Though not with such advantageous results. I ended up stuck in a wall instead. As for getting votekicked, that happens to me all the time for simply breathing.
    It most definitely has something to do with a door closing on your character. Perhaps they must make doors register characters in a larger radius around them...

    I had their flag for a few seconds before I got kicked. Not very harmless.

    That was probably the cause of the bug. I hope it gets fixed, because I've been reported for hacking.

    Ah, didn't realize you had their flag. Something similar happened to me a few days ago, where I thought I was just being a badass while all around me were being sluggish amateurs.

    Turns out major lag.

    Turns out I looked like I was speedhacking to those less/more blessed by the Internet Gods.

    I was kicked too. From now on, if everyone's just standing about, or moving slowly, I'll just hang back a bit or something.

    Also it's not just doors; Bridges force your character out of the way too. They do this because they USED to gib you (which was admittedly really cool, if frustrating... ). This is less annoying to players I guess.

    Anyway, best of luck in future. Archers and builders seem least prone to bugs, fyi :P

    There have been a few times where I will be walking through a door or climbing up a drawbridge, and suddenly get shot high up on the map. Usually just get stuck in a wall a little further up, but I have been launched a short distance before from it.

    Yeah door launching glitch was around since first release.

    Do you know the reason that doors die when they get hit while they're open? It's because they used to just close and push you out. I found out that if you entomb yourself with a door or two and then bonk each, you'd fly through the ground.
