At this point NGD has been abjectly mute about this subject. I think it's time everyone who has ever supported NGD and invested real money into this game got, at the very least, a straight answer from the source regarding these bogus Phantom Swings. We all deserve at least that much.

At current, Phantom Swings serve no real purpose other than to aggravate and frustrate those playing the warrior class.

2. Fix Mouse Targeting. This is easy to fix. Have the mouse button which controls the camera only actually move the camera when SHIFT is held down. Otherwise, this mouse-button needs to be SELECTION/TARGETING ONLY. Targeting DOES NOT WORK WELL AT ALL in its current state where the mouse-button serves as both camera AND targeting.

Any feedback on this would also be greatly appreciated.

3. Fix Positioning. It's still not fixed. At all. Fix it please. And the terrible lag-spikes which have been crippling Horus lately are making it way worse.

Amen

Worst thing to me is this targeting issue... wanna click somebody? you will not get him, but your camera moves T.T

This!
First two points affect me so much, that I've quit the game. Point no 3 does not affect me because... I've quit the game.

But anyway. One thing needs explanations. Phantom swings were introduced with the change of positioning code. To smooth the game, now the code predicts positions of enemies. Swing starts when client (based on prediction) thinks that character is in range. However if after communication with servers it shows that the prediction was wrong and the character is not in range, the swing becomes a phantom swing.
So in theory, the more zig zag moves the enemy, the more phantom swings you should experience.

Selection system is fixed/rebuilt. 2. Phantom swings are gone.
