Performance
On March 5th Host State Rewind (HSR) goes live. This new system allows players with high latency pings to fire and hit more reliably using Lasers, Machine Guns, and Flamers. Often referred to as the lag shield effect, HSR will significantly improve the reliability and accuracy of weapon hit detection, making certain BattleMechs much easier to hit. We anticipate overall damage will increase, resulting in some possible upcoming weapon balancing changes if needed.

Dude thats the Crow.. our 3L's dont have Brandon Lee's skills.. If they did they wouldnt be piloting 3L's.

Inb4 him raging about ravens still killing him tomorrow

[BlackSquirrel]

Eh didnt they roll out a "lag shield" fix around a month ago that fix performance and net issues? I haven't really had lag shield issues is 90% of my games for quite awhile.

Honestly if you have a ping under 100ms they shouldnt be an issue. I think you are going to be disappointing a bit my friend.

I could be wrong.

[Little Nemo]

Lulz. I'm glad you're so hopeful.

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black missile as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my chassis unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy laser from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Oh the effect it had on my score
To see that raven dropping missiles forevermore
Rapping, rapping upon my mech's door
Rapping, rapping, cracking upon my mech's cockpit door
'Leave from this place, stop your rapping upon my cockpit door!'
Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.'

Every time they change something there are these wild assertions that all bad players will suddenly turn into good ones. And it was just X issue or mechanic holding everyone else back.


It never happens for some reason.

Despite being able to hit them, the 3L is still the most viable light in the game. If this is considered a nerf to 3L's, it is actually a nerf to all light mechs.

+1 for Kelly's heroes reference, but currently I have had no issue hitting lights since the last patch, this patch is to help hit laggers and help laggers hit us.


Also.. It's gonna be a beautiful bridge!

[Broceratops]

well the other thing is that this only affects people with bad pings who are using lasers, machine guns, and flamers on lights. so i guess tomorrow your cicada 3C with a flamer and 4 machine guns will finally shine now that the hit detection chains are removed

[Tennex]

sure the raven is nerfed. but so is every single other light mech.

On cored I run "The Crows" lance and thats our motto! So +2,048 for you!! We only run Meds and heavies.

You realize that the 3L will be replaced by more LRM and more poptards...right?

[Rakashan]

Will this patch just reveal how bad the RVN-3L hitboxes are? Interesting questions abound.

[Star Captain Obvious Kerensky]

With state rewind all the crosseyed grognards run out of excuses when they still can't manage to hit a raven just 60 meters in front of them.

[squidvt]

Yea.. I will make sure to say "Craw, Craw" When I core you out tomorrow.
