I'm seeing tons of situations where cherry red mechs are surviving an abysmal amount of punishment, like damage is not even registering.
Had multiple situations the last few days where my TBR would connect with its ERPPCs and no damage would register whatsoever.
Had another situation where a I alpha'd a cherry red mech that was standing still with 6 ER Mediums. It turned an even darker shade of red. Heck, one of my teammates was spectating me at the time and even said, "I have no idea how that mech is still standing after that."

I even restarted MWO AND rebooted my pc to see if it was on my end, but it's obviously just event woes. Get in a mech you don't care about (to save your k/d and elo on good mechs) and go to laggy town.

I just got killed on one volley from an Oxide, from the front, at essentially full armor. I was in a Hunchback.
I think I'm going to withhold my wallet until they fix this bullshit.

None of my damage is registering on target, I'm going to just take a break from this game I think.
May or may not be on PGI's end as much, from doing Traceroutes, seems like at least 1 hop is acting up regardless of having 40 ping hops all the way to PGI's server.
hard to tell, either way its too frustrating trying to play atm.
I know China has been going crazy trying to DDOS some North American hubs, maybe thats what is happening again?

It seems to me that whatever compensation calculations the game is performing in terms of latency heavily favor players with high pings during combat. As someone who has a ping of around 20-25, I never find myself benefiting from my low latency; I only end up subsidizing others.
So what, should I just start lag-switching to get an advantage now?

That's four 42-damage volleys at at least 90% damage each due to range. Do the math. The players spectating me were incredulous.
Not a single dollar more, PGI. Have fun losing paying customers like myself. Also, enjoy your Steam reviews, if this game hits it in such a state.

I ran brawing heroes most of the weekend. Most notably the Protector and the CN9-AH. I was working heavy AC20 and SRMs. I never saw a shot miss that I thought should have hit. Either I clearly hit the thing, I saw the cross hairs light up and the enemy paper doll update or I clearly missed and saw the projectile go wide (or right under an arm, I hate you Stromcrow).
I had a great time of it for the most part. Posted big kill numbers and big damage numbers. I killed quite a few ravens, spiders and firestarters. Hit reg was working for me.
I am blessed with very good ping as my area has a fiber backbone, pings are between 23-30 for me. Perhaps that's got something to do with it.

Laser HSR worked flawless when it was implemented - then Ballistic HSR came and Laser broke.
Ballistic HSR worked flawless - then Missiles HSR came and Ballistic broke.
Missile HSR came - it woked a short time and since then we play HSR ring around.
With another Missile Mechanic (all Missiles active + semi guided) we did not even need to have Missile HSR and PGI could maybe achieve a good Balance between Laser and Ballistic HSR.
I did 1 whopping match yesterday and i swear the shots that were missng me would have hit me only a few weeks ago or so as i see the hits often miss me while HSR makes them damage me - so i did survive in my yellow crit CT Cicada.
From my PoV right so bcs iwas missed but thats not allways what the enemy Pilot does see at his Screen.
My Mech Damage Screen flashed sometimes (obviously from the missing shots) but i did not receive some damage.
