Chat + Movement Glitch

Winter · 10-07-2013

What's this glitch I see people using during spars that makes it tough to hit? Did it come with iOS 7? I've seen like 4 people now go into arena and start chatting, so I sit there and wait. Then they warp right on top of me still chatting and slashing, and they start running around with the chat box over their heads, skipping frames and only being hit by a fraction of the swords that connect with their hit box. Where did this come from, and is it able to be stopped? I think I've seen something like this before, but I forget.

Has been around for a while, it shouldn't affect lag.

Winter · 10-07-2013

I didn't say lag, though.

Yeah, I've seen it. While it doesn't really bother me I can see how it would be annoying to a lot of players.

You rapidly hit the chat button and hit the button which makes your keyboard vanish.. I don't know what's the button named since it's for iDevice only.. lol.
If you do that five times or so, the keyboard will vanish but the chat bubble will remain until you hit the chat button again, I believe. However, I'd need someone to test this out, I don't know if it'll work that way but that's the only logical way to me.

Ah, cool. Someone do the rain dance so Dusty will come and fix everything.

I tried what was said in the thread and couldn't manage to allow my player to move. If the player is suddenly very jumpy then chances are they still have their keyboard open, which causes a huge drop in fps. However, having the keyboard open means obscuring the keys for movement. Also, even if you close the keyboard and leave the chat bar open(by hitting the down key on the keyboard instead of done), you can not tap or change focus at all to the game. Maybe they are using an external keyboard(bluetooth) or such, for which I can not test.

Also if the root of the problems is the in-game keyboard, which it probably is, it is not something a scripter can deal with. We have absolutely no access to the keyboard at all.

wow a thread about sparring and a glitch and no Thallen post......yet I'm somewhat surprised lol.

Makes sense. Guess we'll just have to live with it for now. Oh well

His description of how to do it was off. Try replicating it like this, I can do it with my iphone, ios 6, and ipod ios 7, no external sofware, aswel as different connections compensating for lag. All you do is open up chat, click done and as its descending reclick the chat. Make sure you do reopen as soon as you click done. I think the problem is when you close it, and reopen it, it is busy closing therefore it will not open, but appear so.

Oh, well that causes the chat bubble to stay open, but it has no real adverse effects at all. Doesn't cause a framerate drop or anything.

I was trying to say that at the top of this thread, i shouldn't have used the word lag though. IMO it isn't something that really needs to be fixed, because it looks like a shield almost, two shields on at once :0 but again it is a bug.
