Rune Central

slot what do you think?

just now i got off a game.

the situation during the game was that i was on one side of an open area and the other player (steve) was on the next side. i wanted to blow up, but it didn't reach him which makes me go "god dammit!" and steve just said "lololol"

yay or nay?

I don't agree. I think you should be able to dodge by getting behind a wall or turning the corner.

no no

you see the thing is is that steve was just standing there not bothering to dodge....and i just blew up...and he didn't die.

He probably had an enviro suit or environmental protection rune.

that can be a possibility



there were othe strange incidents with it as well.

i remember someone trying to blow up in front of me and i didn't have either of those items, and i didn't die.

I have found that almost anything can shield you from Divine Wind. Being one step down the stairs, being partially behind a torch or other map element, sometimes being 1 step up the stairs.



Was this the map? I bet Steve was standing on the ledge about a step back and I bet that would have shielded him.

[Of course, it could have been enviro rune like Funkify suggested.]

Maybe you had spawn protection.

I have noticed that if someone is on a ledge beneath you, even when you can see them at an angle, you can't kill them with your blast. I use this to my advantage. Crafty players who have been around for a long time (like Steve) also probably know about this. If that could have been it, then I think that it's a feature and not a bug.

he was at the left of the image near the lightning gun and hanging at the right of the exit with the hook. i was at the very top right of the image you have on the left pillar when coming out of that gate on the right of the picture. steve had a clear shot of me and i had a clear shot of steve.

haha ^^ lolol

Yes it was that map. I had a clear shot of him. I was not blocked by anything, although the wall (side of portal) was near me. The only reason why I was not killed has to be distance from him.

yes stairs can shield you from rockets and stuff depending on where they shoot.

I read the code before on this and distance has nothing to do with it. The code reads similar to the radiation rune. Baker is right. If the player is not 100% visible (including his feet) the rune may have no effect. I have seen many players get pissed off at me and call me a cheat because of this knowledge. What can I say though?
