Collision detection could improve pvp?

Yes. I was surprised not to see it in the game. To me having collision detection is a no brainer. However, it could cause a serious problem in voidstar as two people could effectively block a corridor, especially if the attacking team didnt have anyone with knock backs.

The concept, yes. See Guild Wars.

 

Would it be pratical? No.

Top-end PCs are already exploding with groups of 20-30 players on Ilum. Image if this sorry excuse of an engine had to calculate all the collisions.

Not going to happen.

 

Wasn't collision detection in beta at one point?

 

LOL, if so, I wonder if some of that code is still running, contributing to the performance issues.
