New Baddies - 2

Nanner · 09-15-2013

These baddies take 3x longer to kill a normal player and they teleport everywhere and you cant even hit them sometimes. I dislike this update

They seem extremely laggy. They walk in place, not getting affected at all. Then when they finally respond, they move quickly going to the areas they walked to when lagging. Note: I wasn't lagging, players around me were moving normal.

Not invincible anymore, but I noticed that if you fight them near Nafet's River Hat Shop, the baddies strafe (possibly due to lag?) and sometimes they hit when not even facing you.

Also, a good thing I noticed is that they are a lot easier to hit.

Are the issues with being able to hit baddies improved any?

I've also removed the cached movement(a feature being used to make the baddies move smoother) so what you see is what you get now. If they're teleporting now it really is because you're getting some lag in some way or the other.

I just noticed something (whilst playing on pc), sometimes when the baddy hits, you only get knocked back, but don't lose any lives, this happens a lot if you're running around them. And I noticed that they only warp a lot when I am on an iDevice.

Weird, I can't seem to replicate it.

I simply have the scripts to tell the NPCs to move to their new position. If their movement is acting wonky/weird, then it's either lag or the way the client is handling their movement.

If you come to Nafet's River Hat Shop I will show you.

Fixed. It wasn't actually them hitting you that was hurting you, but running into them, and I hadn't updated that with their damage value.

I was doing the pyrat quest today and it was like fighting a bunch of neos.

You should try it out again. The initial release was a little rough but I spent the entire day fixing bugs and balancing them. I just hopped on my player account and didn't have a problem killing them at all(killed about 10), and I actually found it very easy compared to how they were originally balanced.

Contrary to belief they do not have ANY more HP than they used to. Though bombs and arrows do a little less damage, since it's very easy to kill them with them. It takes 4 bombs to kill a baddy, and 6 arrows.

I wish there was a way to have client side baddies so they dont lag so bad; instead of delending on luck for a break in the servers lag. Earlier I got 20 eyepatches before rage quitting; but if theyve been improved more, ill check back tomorrow...

I feel they have improved quite a lot over the ones launched earlier(around 1pm EST).

Also while the baddies are serverside, their hitboxes are clientside and serverside. So even if they move a bit sporadically because of lag, if you hit them visibly on your client they will take damage.

Yes, there are quite a few complaints that they no longer have their health bars.

I may be wrong with this, but I think I noticed while near SwampTown tower, the slimes would attack but be way off-center. Dealing damage to me while a good 10-20 tiles away. Does the script affect slimes or am I just halucinating?

Nay, they don't share a snippet of code.

Spoiler Reminiscing: lol all these noobs are like "baddies health looks like players' now?!" LMAO kids OG Baddies were like this, except they had 10.0 HP; and the HP reset back to 10.0 if it killed you before you killed it!
