This also happens with human opponents, when you're lagging in the middle of a duel. Invisible damage sucks. It would be interesting to maybe have both the lagger and the attacker be temporarily invincible until they sync up again. Of course with CTF it's very much exploitable, but that won't be in for long... no?

and I quote

2) Bug abuse: If a bug (that is, an aspect of the game that is not working as it was intended)is discovered and it is misused to seriously interfere with players (killing others while invulnerable, flag capping while invulnerable, etc.) the offender will be asked to cease. If the bug abuse continues, measures up to and including banning can be used.

* There is much talk of "exploiting". This is actually a term used mostly in internet security to describe gaining access through un-secure software, but in Vendetta players are using it to describe the practices of rocket-ramming, stationing, station mining, jumping, and so forth. While many would describe these practices as "cheap", they are NOT against the rules. There is no official punishment for these practices because they take advantage of aspects of the game that are working as they were expected to. The developers have told me, essentially, that the game issues that result are the fault of the developers and are not to be policed by the guides. The developers are well aware of the impact of these practices, and fixes are in the works.

Is fenix just randomly posting these two paragraphs into every thread on the board? 'Cause they don't actually have anything to do with this thread. His abuse of bug abuse is bugging me, and I haven't even posted or read this forum in forever.

Oh, wait. I see. He seems to be posting this quote right after any post Arolte makes, no matter the topic being discussed. That makes it a personal attack and something a mod should look into.

I think you are blowing things a little out of proportion.

Nonetheless, see: http://vendetta.guildsoftware.com/?action=msgboard&thread=3044&page=1

a1k0n has said he understands the problem and will fix it, so this can be locked now.

Ok this bug is really pissing me off. Every once in a while i get a high bounty and then all of the sudden when i fight a bot it will lag up and no matter how far away i go it comes and kills me without it even near me. It is practically a lag attack that shows the bots in two different places, but the things is it doesn't even show up it just sits there and kills me within 1 second so i can't escape it. And this isn't the first time it happened when i had a 17k bounty and then it finally appealed to me that it was a glitch so i went on angry at it, and then it happened again and 1 last time which is now. I find this really annoying because it keeps happening no matter what i do. Please help me.

I am working on a fix. In the meantime, sorry, it's something I fixed long ago and forgot to fix in the new server.

That just happened to me. I lost a 41k bounty and im so pissed. It took me almost a week just to get 10k bounty. When i went botting i got hurt and had 10% and ran back to the station. OMW there i just exploded and its said that [NPC] Banif destroyed ahdinh2, although i killed it first, that happened 10 sec. after i killed it. Also the nearest bot was atleast 5k away. If you can somehow restore my bounty id be very thankful. (although i dont think you can do that)
