I stood in front of a cherry ct crow and fired till I over heated and none of my shots hit his torso. NO, he wasn't a DC and it wasn't a desync. WTH, at least give my lights some ultra light medium range ballistics if you are going to make lasers not work.


I am getting so frustrated with this... and all russ says: "um, it may be a problem." Ya, thanks for nothing.

How about you introduce a 30% zero-damage change for all missiles and ballistics till you figure out what is wrong with them?

Was tangling with a locust, last game -- i shot till overheated and he took no damage on his body.

Now a direwolf, back, no armor, 2erlls and a ml....no damage.

Missiles have the worst hit detection in game...
It's better in the last patch but it's still there.

Ballistics would have slightly better hit detection and then lasers are top... it's a reason why ER Large lasers are in the meta...

How about you go check your internet connection or learn to aim? if your lagging you may want to aim a bit infront....

Maybe you should pay attention to the forums where there are videos of what I am describing and an official response of "oh thats bad."

Laser hit reg has been messed up since a couple of patchs ago where sometimes they will not register a hit at all.

Thats supposed to make it better?

Find it's worse with pulse... checks for damage fewer times, so more chance of nothing. Happens quite often... pulse does not do nearly as much as it should (especially given that 4 lrg pulse should do higher than dual ac20 dmg, but do about as much as 1 ac10 normally.... >_> )

[Alienized]

just pre-aim a little bit, like with ballistics
a raven pilot yesterday thought he can kill my dragon with orange center. all he was hitting was the left side since he moved but i didnt.
suffice to day that i splattered him...

also its propably a netcode failure as well. no idea where you are but i have more problems with ppl living near the servers that got a low ping. (i usually have around 100-120 here in germany)

What's crazy is that I can remember a time when hit reg wasn't an issue for most weapons in the game...

[Kain Demos]

I think PPCs are the worst. I've seen them pass through 'mechs a few times now.

And no, it isn't in aiming issue. I notice it the most on my 2 x C-ERPPC/1 x C-GAUSS Timberwolf. I'll get a head-on shot at someone moving towards me or even standing still and my Gauss will hit but I see the PPCs go right through.

[Kaspirikay]

There was a period where hit registration was near perfect even for my 270 ping. I didn't need to lead with lasers at all. Now its really a hit or miss. Can't even lead reliably now.

This is a server performance issue. If you want the problem to truly go away, start trying to convince PGI to increase the frame rates on their servers. This will probably require more powerful and more numerous servers.

That's perfectly fine to me. Just remember that nothing is free, and if you want better performance then you'd better be willing to buy stuff from PGI.

I think it was a bit bad sometimes. I was blasting an ember with my Pretty Baby. All it was doing is walking back so I kept up with it easily. It wasn't even turning. I was using 2 LL and 1 ML and it walked all the way from one end of the cave in Forest Colony to the other without turning red. I tried torso I tried legs. What killed it was other mechs that came up behind it and not me even if I was solo shooting it the entire time.

crows have the smallest CT out of any medium.

If i hold down the button to fire my AC/2 (IS) my second shot never registers on my reticule and only every other one will show as a hit after the first shot. If i wait longer between shots even my a few split seconds all the rounds show as hitting on my screen.

I have the same issue when firing PPC's to close together when in chain fire as well.

"HOW CAN YOU PLAY WITH HITREG SO MESSED UP WITH LASERS"

I'm not. Especially since the end of this latest tournament where I saw just how bad it was with my WubFox.

[Clit Beastwood]

observation, and I'm looking for confirmation

normal drops - poopy laser reg

private drops - great laser reg

can anyone validate the above?

[Tombstoner]

I chain fire 4 ERLL and have no issue dealing damage or over heating

Lasers are the only thing in the game that doesnt have reg problems. what the **** are you shooting at? it goes in a straight line! turn off arm lock.

[Coolant]

i don't notice non hit-reg for beam weapons. live in california, USA, with an average ping of 78-85...have a good internet connection...

[Kavoh]

I can't say I see or have any Hit Reg problems with lasers (or any weapons) in any of my games. 50-100 ping Central US. But I do have people shooting ME with lasers that damage my front and back armor when shot from the rear. Hm.

I often have the same problem firing single PPCs - main reason I don't use them. Tired of overheating myself just so I can blow up a poor innocent rock whose only crime was standing behind my target.
