They REALLY need to make the ghosts ghosts, and stop all the bloody body blocking!. I mean a ghost that gets blocked by a bunch o humans ? seriously. I mean interrupting, knocking down etc fine. But a ghost being blocked lol..

So you are in the hall, kill all other ghosts. But the other team wins because they can body block the hero for 30 seconds?

What do you guys think?

Atleast it means you have to be better than just running a stupid gank build.

I said it when the game first came out that the targetting system and auto-pilot can be exploited. I often find myself getting stuck or stopped dead in my tracks because my auto-pilot turns off when I bump into people.

Uhm, then don't use auto-pilot? How hard is that? And how the hell is it considered an exploit?

Body blocking is fine. If a ghost can be poisoned and bleed, it can be body blocked... lol.

I noted this same problem in the chatroom. Even if you use manual, character freezes, which has happen with my warrior.

It gets even worse with spirits, ive seen teams surround their hero with spirits so no one could reach them, or block the hero with spirits. spirits and ghosts should be transparant like they look, and you should be able to walk through them..

Saying body blocking is better than a gank team has nothing to do with the whole subject. Body blocking does not make the game more tactical. Being able to knock the hero down etc does though.
