So I've been trying to play LD these last days, never really tryed before. I noticed a trend where my alchemer shots, despite beeing well aimed, are almost never hitting the target, sometimes litterally going through bodies.
At this point it's been really annoying, as it seems other people don't have that issue. I first thought it was the US server lagging, I'm from Europe, but I played some games on the Eu server (constant 4 bars) and I still have the same issue...I know my shots are right on target and it's not the distance as sometimes they are two squares before me. I also noticed turning at on makes it hit more reliably...
Anyone experieng the same issues?
Not sure exactly what it is but I heard it is something to do with the netcode or network protocols seeing as it affects the 4bars as well. Everyone has that issue its just some have it to higher degree than others and thats relative to the ping. Turning on AT works better with better connections.
I haven't played SK let alone LD in a long time so I don't know how it is now, but here's a video I made from a few months back.

vids pretty fail because i was recording with a 1-bar connection, low-end AMD duo core with 4Gb RAM (which pretty much died a few days after) but you can see how ridiculous it can get when gunning.
I always found it hardest to hit stationary targets than moving targets because you're not sure whether you're lagging and the game just froze everyone in place or if the other player is actually standing still.
