classic's current hd is different than other servers, to deny this is just ****ing ridiculous. it's obviously difficult to point out what exactly is wrong as a player, but the way im hitting people is simply different here than on other servers. that's it. i can't explain why.

Problem is, nothing unexpected is happening. When someone complains about hitting someone else on their own screen without it damaging them, there's nothing unexpected about that, when someone complains about hitting someone else despite not seeing themself hit their opponent on their own screen, there's also nothing unexpected about that.
If hitting other players is different it could easily be down to something such as increased delay as a result of being on a different, possibly lower priority machine than UN or iClassic.

And there definitely is a placebo element to it, a lot of players still believe we have a serverside hit detection, which was scrapped completely.
