The game mechanics of making an enemy attacks target a player instead of a point in space completely invalidates the inclusion of telegraphs in the game itself. If I see a crusher charging an attack and I dodge behind him he should not just turn 180 degrees and throw the hammer on my head. If a mu…

This is also true for simple trash mobs: it does not matter that you run away when they wind up their attacks, they just teleport to you to get the hit in. The only way to avoid it is to use a dodge.

you’re dodging too soon. there’s a point in the animation when the attack is “locked in” and you can juke it, but if you dodge before that they track you. most people just dodge as soon as they see the attack coming which leads to getting hit.

That’s the issue: the animation means nothing. I know I have to wait, but it makes the whole concept of looking at my enemies pointless.

I believe otherwise they won’t be able to hit anything. Just like during that Mutant patch where it couldn’t catch anyone unless you stayed still (probably OP didn’t witness it).

The mutant seems to have a too small hitbox in there, but the fact that once he start running he just goes straight is correct, the fact that if you’re walking out of his trajectory it should not hit you is correct.

This isnt what he is talking about, this just makes it more laughable. Mutant not being able to grab you while it almost literally runs through you IS bad. → they should be dangerous in long hallways where there is no room to dodge. However same mutant doing easy 90+ degree insta turns to grab som…

It is what it is, pick one. Unless you’re still naive that Fatshark can do better.

[image] desrocchi: If I see a crusher charging an attack and I dodge behind him he should not just turn 180 degrees and throw the hammer on my head. Yes. There is an element of this that is absolutely weirdly constructed and can feel very strange at times. [image] desrocchi: If a mutant …
