Hi Dark, That’s my whole point. IN beta 18 the harpies are not on the same level as you. To attack them you have to aim up to shoot one down as they are actually flying and attacking from above you. They are not on the ground on the same level as you. Not only that, but now that I have activated the look down/look up feature in beta 18 you can now stand on a ledge and aim your weapon downward and pick off enemies below you from a snipers position. Beta 18 as you will soon find out is taking full advantage of the 2d format and combat will now will take place in and all directions. You will have enemies attacking from above you, you may encounter enemies below you on the ground, enemies may come at you from the left or right. For this reason that’s precisely why I mentioned only seeing enemies when Angela is looking up, down, or straight ahead is not a good idea. It would royally mess up the new combat system.
Cheers!
