Despite the description I do not think it ever made you actually run faster, just fly faster.

The health does not go away after leaving flight, so each time you enter, you gain that much health. Given max rank is almost instant toggle and gains 10 hp each time, I don't believe this was the intention.

lol, zero foun that out earlier.



and it is supposed to increase running speed. seems to at least for me. maybe you on't have it leveled enough? you don't see a real difference til it's at least haf-way leveled (only 15% increase at that point)

something is wrong with this guy's ultimate.
if u click ultimate while running it does nthn, not even lift off, u have to be actually JUMPING first.
lets say this is what is supposed to happen, well there is another thing, when u lift off without running or accidentally press ur ultimate without run+jump, you cant move at ALL until the ultimate wears off and u press +ultimate again to land... its just VERY hard to control this guy.
not to mention that, if i was flying , and i die, when i respawn (for me im talking about same round respawn at least), i respawn in flight mode, and since i respawned that way , i,e without running and jump +ultimate, then i would also be somewhat stuck, only able to move sideways for a very limited area...
i guess u have to see it urself to judge,... it could be just me failing, but i asked around and a lot of ppl like echo told me that the ultimate of this race IS somewhat glitchy to use...insight?

were you running up a ramp? i don't have much of a problem controlling it for some reason, and it was never all that maneuverable to begin with

nope, i would be on straight line... it tells me "ready to lift off", i use it , sometimes get stuck in place if i wasnt already running uber fast and jumping,
but u cant stop the lift off in mid air untill all ur ultimate seconds are used up? its just confusing.,.. thats one of the 2 races i never understood the point of em...but still at least u know it is hard to manoeuver it nways.

No, it doesn't, I have it maxed out and there is 0 run speed bonus. Ive tested it with people running normal speed.



Despite the description I do not think it ever made you actually run faster, just fly faster.

I say this class sucks then. You have 3 pointless skills. One, you can't fly on our server, its almost impossible and easy get you out of control, so the ultimate is a bust, if you can't run faster, then there is 0 logic in putting points in run speed untill after you max out fly and because flying sucks, you now have 2 skills that are worthless in wcs. 3, pistols? Seriously? Do i even have to speak on how stupid it is to get a free pistol? Oh, thats right, you get a choice of 2 pistols...lol Def not worth it. Thus, 3 out of 4 very, extremely, useless skills for this class!

No, you doing fail. Its almost impossible to fly on WCS servers. Its only good for long distance moving and to land on something high up for advantage points. And because 90% of the time you can't control the speed or direction, its almost worth not doing it just to save yourself trouble and stress.

wow, you're quite wrong. flying is a pain to control, but once you're goo at it it's quite effective. yes, zero needs to fix run speed bonus, but earthquake is fucking insane, and the free deagle/m4 is very nice (though, increasing the proc chance woul be very VERY appreciate zero)

the race is a sleeper race, not too goo on paper but great if you use it right. crackhouse, nipperhouse, deathcookin...they're all goo maps for archmage, because of it's flying ability, and it's earthquake is incredibly disorienting.

The description shows 2 pistols, not an m4. But I had 3 points in it and in 25 rounds I didn't get one proc either way. As for flying, its only usefull if someone DOESN"T see you. If anyone see's you, your dead, you can't shoot in the air and you can't move in time to get out of the way. And shocke is decent, but if they don't move their mouse, they are still shooting in the same direction and thus, doesn't affect the bullets being shot at you. Any noob who sprays and prays can easily get shocked and still kick ass.

are you talking about in-game description? because it's a deagle/m4A1. and even if it procs, i buy a pump shotty an use it in the air.

i'm not saying that it's a god-class, just that it isn't as bad as most people say. i've found that most of the races everyone says "is worthless" end up being decent to really good once you learn to play them. take human for example. everyone just ramped it to 10 and got off of it because they thouhgt the ult. was useless. but then i took it, learned to use the ult. and the class correctly (this was on the pre-OB update server) and ended up showing people just how incredible it was.

The flying is fine. I am able to run very fast on the ground with it and i can controll it in the air almost perfectly. It's a very reliable race depending on the map you play it on. I had a 30 10 score or something with just flying around and shooting people with a shotgun in the air.

The only fix needed is the Weapon of a sorcerer skill which dosn't seem to be working.

weapon sorcerer is working ,but VERY rarely, but i did get an M4 3 times in a full game... which needs to be more.

and btw xenerix, the shooting in air only works for u bcos of that fucking aimbot of urs -.-

The weapons do work but the leveling is very steep you do not even have a chance to get a m4 until level 5 at which the chance is then 30%. Ultimately you have a 50% chance to get degal/m4 when fully leveled.

xerenix, take a hint, am just fucking with u :P

but yeah, archmage's fly is "progressively" learned, but there is a VERY steep learning curve and it depends on the maps... it is very unfortunate that what seems to be open sky maps actually have a very low skybox...
also the recoil in mid air is retardedly annoying...

can anyone tell me from experience where to aim with a scout or shotgun on a person to get the highest probability of a hit when u're in mid air depending on the current reg? i never get enough time to test it bcos i would be a sitting duck up there...

pump shotty, directly at their chest.
scout, LOL. you're fucked.

if you're using archmage to fly to someplace to scout from, you're best off taking a glock as your pistol, since it's burst fire is suprisingly accurate in midair. otherwise, shotty's the way to go. it's incredibly accurate while your in the air

I ALWAYS GO WITH SHOTTY, BUT IM JUST SURPRISED AT THE RATE I KEEP GETTING SCOUTED IN MID AIR...

ANY CHANCE A PERSON CAN GET EITHER AN M4 OR PUMP SHOTTY for weapon sorcery?:P instead of the worthless deagle (fucked by the new update:P)?
hehehe jkkkkk... shotty imho is probably the best overall primary weapon in wcs, if u consider the (strenght+accuracy)/price ratio :D

Would it be possible to place a "AAAAAAAAAEEEENNNNNNNNGGGGGGGHHHTTTT" kind of harsh buzzer sound when a teleport failed to go off because of someone else's necklace or whatever?
I don't really understand what the hell is going on; think lag is the culprit, and then realize sometimes too late that it was prevention. It would be nice to realize I was prevented. Wouldn't I in real life? INstead of wondering what it was, I would know. I'm being prevented from flying. I wouldn't be like, "hmm, is this lag?" What do you think?

I've noticed a few people have been abusing the fly ultimate to get back free health. Before the update, it originally gave you +15 health when you flew but took it away when you landed. Right now it only gives you the health. It needs to take it away like it used to.
