Aside from other bugs that make clones a joke to spot (spawning with full health when the mesmer isn’t at full health, not dodging, not showing offhand weapons), I just learned they also happen to “ignore” the explorer star, making the real player incredibly easy to spot if they want to be a completionist (actually PUNISHED for playing the game more)
Can we please have clones that are actually believable copies?
- Increase attack rate on clones to match that of the player. Lower damage/chance to apply effects to compensate if needed, but just make them LOOK the same.
- Make ALL clones perform a dodge at the same time as the player. This would also give us some modicum of control over their survivability since they INSIST in standing in every cleave/AoE imaginable.
- Make clones spawn with the same % of health as the player and continue to display this health; give them their own hidden health pool, since they can be one-shot by virtually anything this won’t be an issue.
- Make clones have the EXACT same appearance as the player; title, “explorer” star, ALL weapons (not just main hand). Ideally, have them swap weapons when the player does, as well, at least for appearance sake.
EDIT: So we are clear, I’m talking specifically about CLONES, not phantasms. These serve a different purpose entirely.
