Great so there's a new exploit/bug floating out there where players are considered "no pilot" and are invincible. Notice in the second pic how nobody on the other team was a disconnect?

[Mcgral18]

You sure they are invincible?

[Flying Blind]

No, turret kills come up as defensive turret. I think the no pilot thing happens when someone disconnects before their weapons hit and kill. fired by flying blind but I disconnect so when they hit they are owned by no pilot. I haven't seen anything to suggest someone is invincible but I guess it could happen. hey OP got more info for us? I've seen the no pilot killed x alerts too but never able to exactly pinpoit what is going on. if they rejoin the end score board won't show them disco, you'd have to look right away.

I think turrets now come up as No Pilot.
*edit* see above post ^

Wasn't me and no it wasn't a turret. Just pointing it out to help spread awareness.

Wish I did but I was spectating at the time so that made it more difficult. Just keep your eyes out for it.

I have seen a situation where a turret got a kill but "No Pilot" was given.

Same here.

I have seen a couple times where at the start of the game there is a 0 ping "no pilot" that at some point becomes what looks like a player connecting late but not changing the "no pilot" designation. The 0 ping is now shown as a normal ping and on the teams screen all players names are present, but the mech still shows "no player" when "Q" is pressed. I have then seen enemies get killed by this player and it states "no player" has killed...

I assumed this was the result of a clever pilot's name. I never leave no pilot mechs alone anymore. I had one wake up when I passed by and proceed to relieve me of my mech's back once. Won't happen again.

Witnessed a turret kill showing up as No Pilot as well.

People jump to conclusions way too easily these days..
