That's not another variant. Just a tweaked build of an existing variant.

So firing a pair of AC/2s in two separate groups is supposed to cause massive heat spikes? Looks broken to me...

Thanks for the advance notice - this is good!

Why not hot fix them when you do the sale this Friday...?

[color=cyan]Hello everyone![/color]

I just wanted to tell you guys really quick the following bugs are fixed here and will be added to the Oct. 15th patch:

• Streak SRM's always targetting BlackJack centre torsos.
  
• Atlas head hitboxes being larger than they should be.

There will of course be other fixes and tweaks, but I wanted you all to know those will be included.


Cheers,

Hotfix for broken hitboxes? No.
Hotfix for end of round screen? Yes.
I AM glad my Atlai are being fixed, just sad I have to wait two weeks for it.

Thanks Garth!

[SIERRA 116]

Atlai heads were too big?... that's kinda funny.

[ShinVector]

Garth... Just a thought since see you guys did it for Blood Bay.
If it is not too much to ask.

Could you pull all the mechs chassis in the game currently in the Testing ground maps ?
Also maybe list them out for us in the forums or something as to which mechs are in what maps at which Grid.

PEEF had to proven the BJ/Streak problem existed in the a Live game.
It would have have been much easier to find a BJ in testing ground and just fire Streaks at it from there.
2 mins tops to have evidence of the problem.

Probably more involved of a fix that will need to be in a patch. Also they probably need to do some internal testing to make sure they didn't mess anything else up, as can happen with hitboxes.

[Squid von Torgar]

Thanks for the Heads Up (no pun intended) Garth.

Was hoping for a Hotfix re the Atlas, but at least its confirmed to be fixed.

Keep us updated!

With regards to that, we still would love to know if the Spider is actually meant to be hard to kill or has some faulty hit boxes..

[aniviron]

Thanks for letting us know. :Thumbsup:

Yeah, I knew about the champion coming out. I wouldn't call that a new variant as it has the same hardpoints and other stats.

Anyone else seeing the connection between... BJ and... head?


Please fix the Spider hitboxes, too :-)

well played sir well played

[Prezimonto]

I can remember more than a few matches in closed beta with the gausspult where I would snipe 3 or more atlases in a row with head shots as they popped over the ridge in snow city.

[Caswallon]

Thanks for the info. Keep this up!

Was beginning to wonder at the amount of headshotted Atlai nice confirmation. Keep working away at those bugs despite thinking there are longer standing bugs than these I am glad to see you actively working on fixes like this. Bravo

[AlmightyAeng]

Garth,

+1 to PGI for following up on issues, and communicating the fact that they're getting fixed

-1 for letting me think that the Atlai headshots I was getting last night with the AC20 were mah own leet skills...

Still, I was IN an Atlas...so maybe that balances out.

[Nehkrosis]

gj dudes, keep up the communications!!!

(Orion)?

[Snowcrow]

PGI has really stepped it up a notch in the last month with communication. It's wonderful.
