People just don't know when to let a thread die.

People are just mad because PPCs and Gauss aren't easy to hit small targets with, and no one wants to deviate from their cheese builds. Use some lasers.

And honestly, I notice shots failing to register just as often on any other class as they do with lights. And really, having 45+ damage not counted against an assault is a lot worse than it not being counted against a light.

I guess YMMV with this stuff, but I pretty much never notice it with assaults and heavies.

I do see it sometimes with Cicada's and Centurions occasionally.

It just really goes to show the underbelly of the game still has some major issues which will be compounded by things like removing the speed cap, adding MASC, adding Clans, etc.

If you haven't noticed the insane survivability of spiders these days, you aren't paying attention. Hit registration is bad lately, it is especially bad on lights, and I don't have a mech built that uses PPC's or Gauss.

And light pilots who say this should hop into a Heavy or an Assault and try to shoot lights.

Been there, done that. It's a joke. I was stuck in a mountain in an Awesome to where I only had like 20 degrees of visability to where I could fire a single PPC. Jenner started running by that I could see coming with lolseismic, aimed, fired, headshot.

Ended the match with 9 damage as the rest of the team converged into an area I couldn't fire and massacred the half visible awesome.

Best shot ever though was when a Wang was charging past me in Frozen city and I blindfired before he could kill me and his head was literally lined up exactly with my arm PPCs and just dropped.

It's not "lights", it's spiders.

Spiders hitboxes are behaving, right now, like Ravens did back in January. Barely anything registers, unless you get a really lucky shot with some heavy weapons, or streaks.

Like I said, it's everything right now. It's especially noticeable on lights and the spiders in particular because they just should not be able to take what the are visually taking.

As if anyone has trouble with lights anymore with Seismic.

Go run a Jenner through the center of a PPC+Gauss sniping team.
I don't think much will come out the other side.

Is it so wrong for lights to be able to survive? They take longer to kill enemy mechs than any other weight class due to more limited weaponry.

If you are asking if it is wrong for a Light to survive a PPC/Gauss line My answer is yes. A Light Mechs perk is speed, but Speed's weakness is damage. It is the trade off that goes with being small and fast.
