There are many types of lag ofc, and I agree with you that it's not the usual client lag.

But yes, I'm pretty sure it's triggered by server and/or network lag.

I'm pretty sure it's triggered by MA testing their software under ideal network conditions and making no effort to code in simple preventative measures. (if action.type == attack and selected_target == self then cont) I shoot myself at least 15 times a hunt these days on a brand spanking new high-end system with a broadband connection. I miss a lot due to another similar bug that seems like it must be due to decay-producing events (ammo burn) being sent by reliable protocols like tcp, while "inessential" things (like hitting a mob) seem to be sent by udp.

It's not the kind of coding idiocy i feel like paying for anymore.

You're talking about the cause, not the trigger.

Apart from you being more upset than me, I think we're pretty much agree what we think the problem is. At least that's how I read your post.

And I do agree too, that while the 'bug' might actually be hard to get rid of, a few extra validations in the code, could prevent us from shooting ourself, and from killing other people with our faps etc.

I was hoping that MA would add Areanatrox Alpha Satan Stalker spawns to the LG land marker areas.

Can anyone tell me what the hell a GBP is? Or for that matter a PaySafe card?

My guess would be a GBP is a Great British Pound and that the card in question is a way of depositing or withdrawing money.

But I had thought their card-system was non-functional at the moment, so it's an interesting update.
