I'm kinda confused... stacking problem? I thought you were going to talk about items in the newest patch being stacked. Can you tell us a bit more about this problem?

Oh, in the new Conquer Online, you can stack certain items. Basically, it puts a number next to the item and when you click on it, it uses one of that item as if it were one. It's really weird but helpful. They don't do it with HP and MP pots though which is the stupidest thing! xP

No, hes refering to the a player stack, where you put a load of noobs on 1 spot and then jump off the screen and then back onto the screen and then onto the stack, this places the last character that jumped onto the stack on the top and can then tank.

As for "fixing" this problem, its purely down to the way the server stores entities, you cannot fix it as the server simply wasnt designed to utilize cell based storage, you would need to convert the entire system over so that each cell contained storage for objects, and so that the last object added to the array was the one that mobs attacked. It would be alot of work.

What Korvacs said, or, you log in with the stacker before the noobs are logged in, as, the monsters go through the dictionary/hashtable and starts from 0, they will select the first attackable entity which would be the stacker.

I don't think stack not working is a bug.
I think it's a bug CO made into a feature.
And it won't be easy adding this.
