NOW NOT LATER! As a 3L pilot it liquids me off to know nothing is being done about this! Th 3L was nerfed for the same reasons the spider needs to be nurfed yesterday!

thanks, that is all!

or you could take an LBX 10 and SSRM's...both great for killing light mechs.

Hah but you'll have to spend 5 min to kill light with this combo, not to mention bigger mechs
Take ac20 with you and youre safe

SPIDER SHOULD HAVE HITBOX LIKE MOON!!!

ac/20 makes a great light killer. but the lbx10 is nice for those with worse aim...and the SSRMs ;p

I am pretty sure the issue is with hit registration/damage application more than the hitboxes.
Many times I see the paperdoll light up, but the correct damage is not done.

[Tezcatli]

The most straightforward fix would be to enlarge the hit box to compensate for the latency issues. But I don't think people would be very happy with that idea. And they are trying to work on improving the issue, but with 12v12 coming up, whatever improvements will probably be overshadowed by the strain of 4 additional mechs on each team.

[Armageddon]

Please, PGI, I beg you... I beseech you... fix the Spider's hitbox.

[Chavette]

The spider mech is so low on perks that the only way to make it somewhat competitive is broken hitboxes... shame they took the balace the most possible frustrating and lazy way.

A 3L pilot complaining about a Spider is what I call poetic justice.

[Roadbuster]

I agree with the OP.
Hitting a Spider is like gambling. You can have perfect aim but only a fraction of the damage will register.
The only chance to really hurt them, besides doing potshots, is if they shutdown.

[Tectonic]

I keep hearing people QQ about spiders, it's all I pilot, somehow my Spiders seems to have no problem registering damage. So what's the problem exactly?

Seems my Spiders are the only ones out there without this hitbox 'problem'.

or, am I supposed to run Vuze or some other BT program to receive the benefits?

More likely you think your amazing skills come naturally when the reality is that you do as well as you do because you pilot a mech with known issues that make it extremely easy to do well with.

The biggest problem actually seems to be Hit registration and for whatever reason the Spider seems to be the most affected by this. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense why it would just be the Spider but that has been my experience.

Oh yes, I one day how to be as Uber as you.

Actually, I die faster now, then before this 'hit-detection' glitch made it's appearance.

Aparently the 20 different pages on how hard it is to kill most spiders dont mean anything. Im thinking that its your skill as a pilot that is getting you killed but the average or above player using a spider will always be the last or one of the last guys alive on the battlefield.

[Corwin Vickers]

You mean the smallest, fastest, mech carrying the least weapons is the last mech left alive?

Must be hacks.

Or maybe it's because he's the smallest, fastest mech on the battlefield who knows he's not winning any DPS comparisons and that that dual PPC mech will leg him or one shot him if he doesn't run the whole time....
