heu Report post Posted November 1, 2006 I've seen some old topics here about the same subject and, as the problem is still there, I decided to post it again. While fighting, sometimes fleeing looks to work perfectly. Either you flee or get a message "You failed to flee.". Ok, I guess that's how it should be ALWAYS, which is not the case... sometimes you click/press home trying to flee and nothing happens. NOTHING. It's like you're not doing anything at all, you don't even get the fail message... and it doesn't matter how slow you click (as I read in another post that it could be caused by overclicking)... I wanted to know whether that's really a bug or it's intentional, because it's really annoying... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merciful Report post Posted November 1, 2006 Yeap, this happens to me too! Sometimes i think the home key of the keyboard is broken and press it stronger, and that way i broke one keyboard yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heu Report post Posted November 1, 2006 its what's called the flee bug, and has been around since as long as I can remember, dunno if intentional or not yeah, I know it's there for a long time now, but today it was too much for me... it took me several minutes to be able to flee... I think it's a bug, but could be intentional... who knows... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atlantis Report post Posted November 1, 2006 If on pvp and your partner is not fleeing, it can take a while, but if your a/d/c is better than monsters I believe you will flee faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted November 14, 2006 Your problem is that you are fleeing the wrong way. The home key was never meant for fleeing, the proper way to do it is with the mouse (click somewhere). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atlantis Report post Posted November 14, 2006 The bug is still there even if you click-flee, I just tested it myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted November 14, 2006 I guess the question is, was fleeing ever supposed to be failproof on every click/key press however you did it? (not including dis rings of course) It doesn't seem logical that it would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bkc56 Report post Posted November 14, 2006 (edited) I guess the question is, was fleeing ever supposed to be failproof on every click/key press however you did it? I'm sorry, but that's not the question at all. No one expects flee to be successful with every attempt. What is being talked about here is attempting to flee and not getting either the "failed to flee" message or a successful flee. It's as if the request (be it home-key, map click, or whatever) was not seen by the server. When you're in this mode, you will never be able to flee. It's not just that you fail, it's that the attempt is not acknowledged. It's as if you didn't even try. That's the bug being asked about, and yes I've seen it too. It doesn't happen all the time, but I have experienced it (with either myself, or a pvp partner being unable to flee) several times. Someone who thought they understood the nature of the bug once explained to me that it's related to which person last did a restore spell (in a pvp situation). I'm not sure it's that simple, but there may be a possible relationship. Edited November 14, 2006 by bkc56 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nidan Report post Posted November 14, 2006 What sometimes helps for me is to stop fleeing for a sec, eat a fruit or something, and try again. I havent got the flee bug in a while, it doesnt seem to occur when fighting monsters. Of course it sometimes takes up to 25 tries to succesfully flee, but thats just bad luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because when this happens we keep hitting our oponent, while with a failed flee attempt we dont hit the other (very often). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heu Report post Posted November 14, 2006 Your problem is that you are fleeing the wrong way. The home key was never meant for fleeing, the proper way to do it is with the mouse (click somewhere). That's not the problem, it doesn't work clicking either, as I said in the first post. I guess the question is, was fleeing ever supposed to be failproof on every click/key press however you did it? (not including dis rings of course) It doesn't seem logical that it would be. As someone said here, it's not the fail that bothers me (us, I believe), it's just that sometimes it doesn't even try to flee (no flee, no fail message and you keep hitting the opponent) as if you were not clicking anything at all...

Entropy Report post Posted November 14, 2006 The server ignores all the click requests that come to more than every 600 MS (I think). So multiple clicks within a small time period are ignored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarr Report post Posted November 14, 2006 flee is verry weird in EL what i noticed is that if u cannot flee, the other person can , and u can flee too, after he trys to flee first vice versa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heu Report post Posted November 15, 2006 and it doesn't matter how slow you click (as I read in another post that it could be caused by overclicking)... Last time it happened, I tried to click every 5 seconds or something like that... same problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puntif Report post Posted November 15, 2006 I've been wondering if the flee problem is a matter of who gets the first attack. If your opponent gets first strike and hits you (even if your armor absorbs all the damage) then you automatically counter-attack whether or not you wanted to flee instead. Is it possible that this is why flee fails with no message? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CelticLady Report post Posted November 16, 2006 I have noticed this also. Most recently just a few days ago with two different pvp partners. Chiapet has higher a/d/c than me and Atavar has higher a/d but matching c. It happened with both of them several times each. I have tried both Home key and clicking on the ground. I notice that it happens to both of us at the same time. Both chars keep whacking away at eachother and no failed to flee message for either of us. We are both trying to flee by either Home key or clicking and it just doesn't seem to get recognized or something. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Sometimes if I restore while I am holding the Home key then I will start to get the failed to flee message and then can finally successfully flee. I don't know if that is just a coincidence because it doesn't always work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
