I have never even seen a 1:13 before. I went straight to one fucking twelve. I like you.

	I assume its just optimization issue. When comparing distances doing math in metrics where point [1,1] and point [2,4] distance is "4" is far simpler than when the distance is "3,16..." The answer "4" is not 100% correct off course but its "good enough" and "3,16" is not 100% correct either because there are many more numbers after the 6. We cannot get "perfect circle" even if we wanted. The best we could do is polygon with many many many vertexes. I would say enjoy this aproximately 27,3% bigger AoE area with corners reaching 41,4% farther than circle could and exploit it if you can

This is because you have more rods than cones in the corners of your eyes. Rods have better low light vision so they let you see all the squares better. The symmetry manifests itself in the light of rubbins which reveals that all eyesballs in ddo are in fact eyecubes.

	Oracler wrote on Jul 9^th, 2018 at 5:53am: Spell circles are drawn client-side. We can waste those few CPU clocks. Squares are server-side calculations that saves hundreds of resources Compare 2 values: 1<x<10 15<y<25 is much easier in CPU terms than ((x-10)^2+(y-25)^2)^0.5< 10 (and that's just on 2D plane) So if you love lags alot go for it and force SSG to implement circles server-side. Couldn't they split the difference and better approximate a circle with an octagon (or dodecagon or whatever)? Not that I expect them to change it...

I think draw distance works the same way. Objects at the edge will disappear if you look right at them (and reappear if you look aside).

What I'm saying is, if they changed the actual AoE from a square to a 5+ sided polygon, it will be less inaccurate compared to the displayed circle without consuming a circle's amount of resources. (The more sides, the less inaccurate, as in less total area outside the displayed circle that counts as the AoE.)

Making a 'slightly less inaccurate shape' is just a bandaid that doesn't stop the bleeding. And the clock cycles thing should just not be an issue. Since their data center move they are running with modern hardware in a vm environment.

	Something a little less well known is that for melee, attack squares grow when moving. Test it by standing as far from training dummy as you can while still damaging, then move further away and attack only this time moving slightly side to side and see how much further away you can attack using this method. Turbine introduced this to combat latency issues while meele were attacking mobs on the run but it can be exploited and used it many situations.
