More and more I'm seeing collisionless avatars in combat zones, and it starting to piss me off.
Tonight some griefer by the name of *edited*, took down rausch and was not able to be hit by ANYTHING. Harry Linden was of no help either...
I need to know 2 things.
How are they doing this?
And how do I hit them?

Have you tried pressing Ctrl-Q and then playing a real FPS? SL has the potential to do some things reasonably well, but anyone that ever thought it could mimic UT credibly was very, very confused.  |

And how do I hit them? They are not doing anything to become phantom, unless you count being teleported away and your client not recognizing that they are no longer there. When this happens you need to restart SL to get rid of them. Its a bug in SL, not some fancy new weapon.

And how do I hit them? Um. If that sucker is able to turn phantom after all the precautions we're seeing taken, I want to know how he's doing it too. It still pisses me off. If it weren't for p2ptp I'd be ripping into LL for taking that away. |

First: You aren't supposed to name names here, tut.
Second: You were just as annoying as the other person in Rausch.
Third: They were sitting on a transparent cube.

From: Enabran Templar Um. Got enough ums in there, Burke? I just woke up. And if they're on a cube, in a DAMAGE ENABLED sim, they'd still die. If they have a really good sheild, they can still die. If they are walking through walls... that's not supposed to be possible. If they're standing there while you lob a thousands rounds into them, it's possible they are dying several times over but your dumb ass jammed the assed queue preventing a proper teleport (HAppened me a few times, got a dozen dialogue boxes saying I couldn't TP. |

The most hillarious thing I've had happen to me in the last few months was, I was screwing around with a script in the the damage sandboxes, and somebody flys by and sionizes me (or some other weapon that didn't even register on my shield). I "die". Server is currently having problems, and it's unable to teleport me. So I'm still fine, unkillable

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

What annoys me is that I get a bunch of error messages that i have to click out of faster than they can kill me. |
