Hindsight Bias And What It Means In Judgment Of Enemy Abilities

[Azawarau]

Do you really not understand it was done for testing and showcasing the broken mechanics? Like, really? 

Its hook went through a wall after you danced around taunting it for 15 seconds not shooting or using powers

 

I dont see how its broken

So, is the problem with the ancient hook or that object?

Its that it passed a solid object

 

But the enemy didnt respond for 15 seconds

 

There is no issue here

 

It was completely avoidable whether it passed through an object or not

Grappling IS cheap/cheat/broken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaHGAYPmEnk 

 and it should be tweaked to stop this nonsense and make it non-isntant to give players time to react

Report the bug and stop rabble-rousing.  Also, it's far from instant; it's telegraphed and can be dodged with ease.

Reported like 2 months ago (shotly after U14). And reported about similar stuff with scorpions like half-year ago. In the Infested general feedback threads too (one of which is followed by AI coder).

It happens in ~1 sec, its not telegraphed and the animation looks like a normal attack swing too.

But my point is that did the game think that the specific object was not solid, or do ancients do this with any solid object like actual walls?
