Title: Melee weapon on AoMr
Post by: ZZ on November 04, 2009, 04:00
If you atack with a melee weapon on AoMr it takes no time but atacks. Some people use this like cheating, but I think this's a bug.

This was reported not long ago, but it seems good to know multiple people are picking up on it. Because, we use melee weapons on AoMr :P

Not always the case. What weapon are you speaking of? In some cases it simply says "This isn't blah blah blah..." and you then make a melee attack with your fists.

Which weapon equipped makes it instant?

Combat Knife and Chainsaw. And just checked, AoSh gives this bug too.

I've tried with Chainsaw and it wasn't an instant attack for me at least. Would be awesome if you could melee the AoD to death with a chainsaw. o.o

Anyone else able to repeat it with a chainsaw?

Reproduced with chainsaw, fists used. Screenie attached.

EDIT: Attacks were instant, with no movement or firing from the other former humans. Which would lead me to believe that it registers the attacks as taking 0.0s.

It's easier to reproduce with certain traits...

The effect is predictable, so if you use for instance shotgun, you won't use it but enemies wouldn't react. Kornel didn't block the usage of melee weapons, but did that if you forget that you're an Angel you don't miss anything.

Good luck Aki - this doesn't always seem to work. I had the same idea, and got wiped out by a bastard squad of lost souls that spawned all around me..

Lost souls spawned by pain elementals grant no experience.

Naw, you play normal N! AoMr up until you get to the UC... :>

Really, it's saving time. To get the Longinus Diamond normally, you've gotta get something like Dervis had (AOP Cybernetic armour) with infinity fucking bajillion Large Medipacks and the Chainsaw. You'd get that combination eventually, it would just take forever.

I'd be saving time ;)

I was. I had a knife handy, so I switched out, attacked once, and got ripped apart. Cue tears :(

Also, playing on AoSg might make it that little bit easier. After all, killing multiple enemies with one shot IS handy.

Yeah, sorry, knifes don't give that bug.
