On the plus side, my Awesome's no longer have the easiest to hit center torsos in the game...

Seriously, what happened here? Did somebody roll dice to determine what hit location each mech section would be?

Well this hitbox bs definitley explains some things. I knew I wasnt that bad a mech pilot. Just sucks for those of us who paid for these Mech packages to see such shoddy work being put out. I ordered the Wave 2 pack and the first 2 mechs released are a joke so I was hoping the HB and Gargoyle would make up for the IF and ML mechs. But alas more problems, come on get your house in order and take pride in your work PGI!!!!

They released it like 4 days early, that probably didn't get to fully test the hitboxes. this thing was bound to happen with them releasing a mech earlier than they should have.

I find it hard to believe that PGI and their so-called playtesters didn't find this hitbox thing before they pushed this **** out.

It really calls into question exactly how much testing they actually do. None at all it seems.

Well they poetically play amongst themselves, hence, a built in failure rate? Jk ������������������
Truly, most you folk are really that good, and do not understand how anyone could miss that, because you don't, ;0) dacka dacka.
p.s. this mech is the deciding factor in buying this package. Hope they fix it so you fellas don't ct me so quick. I need all the help I can get, being average pilot at best. Gl hf

It must've been some drunken bet internally @ PGI to see if the hitbox guy can make the Loki become AWESOME... as AWESOME as a Dragon.

The Mist Lynx's large arms is probably the result of the Arm Wrestling with Russ vs Paul.

Wow... I've never seen this meme before. I love it.

But seriously... What do you guys think the adjusted hitboxes will be? Obviously no front torso in the back, but I'm curious if they will fix the arms.

They bloody well better. CT on shoulders is pants on head ridiculous.

It feels like it was on purpose. Like someone at PGI thought ECM was such a boost that they needed to ruin the HBR's hitboxes. If only they realized ECM isn't a big deal in higher ELOs.

'Cause they can aim with direct fire weapons....

i just made that meme...

but anyway, i would just expect them to remove all the happy little center torso spots the dotted over the mech and just make it normal...

in other news i just had a 4 kill, 8 assist, 1001 damage game in a nearly cored out hellbringer, all thanks to the power of ecm! 4cermlas, 1gauss. netted me 470k cbills (premium time standard variant) and 25135xp!!!!!!! unlocked the extra module slot in a single game!!!

[ChapeL]

Look at that CT .. it's going all over the place !

Still love the damn thing! Can't wait to see it fixed

I am surprised that a single gauss build could be that effective. How much ammo did you bring?

Congrats, that's the highest XP I've seen from anybody this weekend, or any. Crazy!

They need to fix it all and then possibly adjust what they have fixed. Seriously, ECM isn't the big bad boggie man that people love to make it out to be, especially on a mech as large as the Hellbringer. Unlike a Spider or even a Raven which is sometimes hard to spot off in the distance, I have had zero problems seeing the Hellbringer even without the red box and arrow over its head and if you can see it, you can shoot it, well at least with direct fire weapons. Fortunately (or unfortunately if you are in a Hellbringer), 80% of the weapons mounted and used are direct fire weapons. Also it has easily identifiable hit boxes especially with the protruding chest which draw the eye and act as a natural aim point, kind of like a bullseye plus that protruding chest can be easily hit from the sides (unless the change things and make the sides at least partial part of the side torso). Basically my point is, the CT already has enough drawbacks that it doesn't need PGI creating artificial ones just because it has ECM. Honestly it is never going to be a Timber Wolf, no matter what they do so they just need to fix it correctly and be done with it.

I think that's the consensus. I really appreciate that PGI released it early, ready or not. The XP weekend helped a lot even if the mech explodes in most matches.

Yeah I am still glad it came out. If nothing else I managed to elite all three if mine rather quickly (was a bit tough though considering I was having trouble breaking 200 damage at times before I got cored) and I have some good solid, tested, builds that seem to be working well. Honestly I was chomping at the bit to build them out. Some of my ideas worked well, others kinda flopped.

[MoonUnitBeta]

I think the shoulder is hilarious... omg.

And I can confirm this is true. I just played a match on the Maybaline map, and someone was shooting my shoulder through a crack in the crystals, and before i moved I went into 3rd person, and yes. I watched him hit my shoulder, and it went to my CT and turned it orange. Side torso? Nope. Arm? Nope. CT. lool.

Like wow. lol.

and wtf is up with that little blob in the LT?! ROFL.

This is just.. yeah i don't even know lol. just totally wacko.
