Explosion Pots and Uneven Terrain

[uofuntime]

Hi there. So I've been testing out explosion pots and I found that even the slightest uneven terrain prevents me from throwing it to the target/ground. I was in T2a where the ground is slightly uneven and even if I throw the potion at the ground adjacent to the target or on the target, it ends up not throwing over and exploding on me. I can still cast spells and shoot arrows at them, so I don't think they are really "out of sight". Is this era accurate? We're talking like a little bumpiness on the terrain, not like a hill or anything.

Do people encounter this problem as well? I heard people use explosion pots to kill people running away. Do you ever encounter this type of problem when you're fighting on a non-flat area?

I thought it was fixed.

I thought it was fixed.

^ Darn. I hope it gets fixed. Kind of a nuisance to use xp pots, except in tournies... Those who use it on the field: how do you manage?

I've been noticing that even after throwing the pot, seeing it land on the ground before it explodes, somehow it will mysteriously transport back to the thrower and blow up in the face.

I noticed the especially durring the tournament last night, when i manually threw an explosion pot to the other side of arena, but when it exploded, the explosion animation appeared ontop of my character and did damage.

Yes, I've noticed this as well. The animation shows it throwing over, but I still get the damage on me. Tried it on 3, 2, 1 second timers. Doesn't seem to be a timing issue. All this happened within the 10 tile distance range. It happens sometimes, with maybe 1/2 of the pots I throw, so I assumed it had something to do with the terrain.


I HOPE this gets looked into (if it's not era accurate of course) because I would be hurling these pots non-stop with my archer if it wasn't so darn buggy!

Nobody cares? Aw...
