slingshot or sidestep bug

[captaindruidblade]

In svs now after the updates ships glitch all on own now
your whole crew will be firing away on the left cannons to take a ship with a sliver of health out and hokus pokus Blamo poof its gone!!!

Where did he go?

oh no how did he do that?

did he log?

NO!

the ship was in front of your crew on left cannon side and like magic he is on the right now when he was running away from you going east now hes on the other side of you going west?

What in the caribbean is going on?


once again its the update if you think back the ships never poped from one place to another or from one side of your ship to the other before the updates


these issues are so top priority people are loosing interest fast in svs!!!

personaly i think its the new graphics updates but thats just me

what you experienced is what is called lag jumping where a ship slingshots forward apparently on purpose. I think they are using an admin hack like stop lag or end lag etc..

The ones where the ship appears to magically encircle you is probably because they used full sail at same time as stop lag and literally sailed around you while you were in freeze frame mode.

I think these are admin codes used by Disney employees as they do not appear to be used by many people.

A few ships on abassa and andaba do this on regular basis.

What a lot of people do not realize is that most of these glitches in the game are not accidental and are putt here on purpose by the game designers themselves as they are gamers as well and like all programmers they like to add back doors and things to any project so that when they are playing they have an upper hand.

It takes awhile for them to fix glitches simply because the Disney programmers are thinking up replacement glitches to be installed with each update to take the place of the ones Disney has forsced them to fix.

Call it job security. They get paid to fix things they created.
