Nothing ****** me off more in this game than being out of bounds - NOT bearing near the line on the map - NOT getting a warning - and then insta dying because of the crappy out of bounds system. Just BS !

Calm down. This game is still BETA, remember? Don't you think they have team of people working on it? They are probably sitting on their butts right now this instance, fixing your problems. So, stop posting rant threads and wait.

the area near Kappa on RCN/RCD needs to be adjust into the mountain a touch more. it causes a LOT of Out of Bounds deahts (ive sdeen 5 this week alone) and there is no reason not to set it back another 2-3 meters at the point behind the small buildings/the corner that goes up/down the hill behind kappa.

If only these reoccurring complaints about specifically River City would ever be addressed...

That was my first thought as well. I think OOB should be hard to get. I mean you'd have to use JJ or really go some uphill to reach OOB, and even then you have those 10 seconds to reconsider. In short, use natural obstacles to limit player's movement, so it does not happen by accident.

How can you miss the big red capitalised OUT OF BOUNDS countdown flashing?

Well, to be honest, if you already had a CRITICAL DAMAGE or MISSILES INCOMING already flashing, they're the same color, location and font, it's pretty damn easy to miss.

Not to mention, in an atlas at top speed, by the time you stop and reverse direction, it's too late, regardless of whether you turn around or go in reverse

This is THE funniest thing I have ever read on MWO forums. By far!

The best part is that it has been mentioned many patches ago.. as if it were an old couple argument.

Yep, that's another problem, which is why OOB needs reconsideration.

OUT OF BOUNDS...with a flashing countdown.
INCOMING MISSILE
CRITICAL DAMAGE

Yup, can see how you mistook the I and C for O, not to mention the other letters.

Pilots that don't try to run the Out of Bounds lines do not have this problem. True Story.

Pros that keep an eye on their minimap don't need a warning to tell them that they went out of bounds. Also a True Story.

Pretty much, but there's a few spots that require tweaking as it makes little sense terrain and route wise why the boundary drops or juts into the area. The River City one being the obvious of these and the only one I've been in combat around often enough to have been caught out by it. Last time it happened the Guy I was toe-to-toe with also didn't realise in time and we both went boom. Funny as, but definitely needs fixing.
