    I'd like to talk about this aspect of the game if you don't mind.

    Some call it a glitch, some call it unfair.

    I call it art.



    How do you feel about it?

    I can list many pros about tent fighting, even with quarters inside it.

    No collision on tent is probably meant to prevent spawn killing but all it does is make it worse.

    However, it is impossible to shield bash in a tent, making it one of the best places for a defensive last stand you will ever see in the game.

    Yes its also half way impossible to shield yourself from attacks on a tent seeing how players can move right inside you and just stab from there. The worst place to be because you can be raped from 8 angles by one sword.

    Therein lies the art of tent fighting.

    Weaving in and out of the tent like a crazed madman, moving almost as quickly a featherweight boxer would.

    A quick double slash at the right time, and your work is done.

    I only recently found out about this. Is spawn killing the only reason for it? There has to be a better way.

    I can't think of any way to stop spawnkilling. This is only encouraging spawnkilling... But hey, without spawnkilling we'll
    have trolling AFKers in RTDM. :D

    The players used to bug out and spawn on some top edge of the map when there were enemies on the tent, due to the collision, and so the collision was disabled in it. Fighting in it is terrible, but there's a short spawn protection so you should be able to blast your enemies if they're stupid enough to just stand in there ;)

    The tent 'glitch' is presents quite the advantage for an archer though, because the brawling knights usually don't hear the 'smack' of an arrow or the flash that indicates damage when an arrow strikes.
