Hi all,

Can anyone who's jumped in game since the patch clarify if the Jager's arm hitboxes had more removed (larger side torsos) or added (smaller side torsos).

I ask because the patch notes says one:

Quote

"Shoulders have been adjusted so that a much smaller section of it applies to the arms."


and Paul's Dec. 19th command chair says the other:

Quote

"Jagermech (Pelvis area split for leg/CT distribution, more of the shoulder added to the arms)"


Since PGI has screwed the pooch on this communication, can anyone comment?

As far as i know, i just bought the Jager-DD and the one thing that seems to get taken out more than anything is my torso. Really it seems like the arms are hard to hit, and even though they're weak they rarely ever fall off. The one thing i've realized to do is to aim for the opposing DD's arms, but its not the easiest thing to do. I'd say they made it harder to hit them, but once they do you better hope it's not an ac-20 or gauss.

didn't run mine yesterday to find out, but the Jagers were out in their usual numbers, if not more, so whatever it is can't be too severe or the QQ in these forums would be overflowing.

Heheheh...so many tears.

Haven't had a chance to jump in game yet. Considering the giant armor plate 'fins' that stick out to protect the side torsos...I'd be sad if they made MORE of the arms side torso, rather than less. When I read Paul's update on the 19th my brain said "Oh, they're turning the armor fins into actual ARMOR for the side torsos by applying it to the arms."

Either way I'll still love my jagers...but it'd be really nice to know what the hell they actually did, since we have 2 completely opposite communications...again.

I got in contact with a moderator by PM, who passed it along to the developer who should know...I'm hopeful we may get an answer soon.
