So because some people have a disadvantage in some other games you're going to completely change the game mechanics so that they have a disadvantage in this game too? Perfect logic.
Serverside hit detection won't make things fair, it'll just change who has the advantage. Somebody is always going to have a latency advantage, so why not just let it be the laggers for once?
@ Slash, Geo & Raven
Chris can probably script better serverside hit detection than Jenn did.
And he's only talking about serverside in events/spars. So not for everyday PKing (probably only because serverside projectiles are still terrible at travelling between levels).
But Geo does have a point that under serverside the projectile will NEVER be exactly where you see it on your screen and dodging will count a lot less.
Could you achieve the same effect by using a serverside movement system instead of serverside projectiles? At least that way projectiles would maintain their honest positions and be kind of dodge-able if you know your own movement latency.
