well this explains quite a bit at why Im so terrible at pvp. I have no problems hunting monsters, evasion tanking bams and so forth but I get absolutely destroyed in pvp, especially against elin/popori lancers who seem to hit me from way outside their weapons range. I assumed it was lag or simply a lack of skill on my part but it's an actual game mechanic? I'm sorry but my 30 second racial with an hour cooldown does not make up for this in any way shape or form.
I really don't mind the hitboxes because I'd rather know where I'm aiming at. Though I could get used to invisible hitboxes considering I'm a veteran MH player (Damn you Plessy and your hipcheck) , but the extended range just shouldn't be there.
If anybody should get extended range on their attacks it'd be the larger races because it makes sense. Have you actually seen the length of a Baraka's arm and your telling me their range should be less than a Elin? In the end though I think all animation speeds and ranges should be equal between all races.
I must play with the best players in the world then cause they don't have any problems landing hits on me at all.
Guess they must just practice in game and not on the forums crying.
The problem is that you're playing an Elin, which has been shown to have longer ranges with certain classes. So why don't you try a Baraka or Aman male? Oh yea because you know those races suck.
Elins are such lovely creatures~
