I think that's not supposed to happen, but it did my last game. My Blackjack with STD engine was slowed to the point where I was no longer going faster than King Crab walking BACKWARD.

Please let me know if this in fact is not supposed to happen, so I can move to report this at a proper channel.

Shouldn't happen.

How long was it for? You do have that STUPID stunlock mechanic when you get legged... but shouldn't happen when you lose an ST.....

Something like the last 5 minutes of a single game. It was down to me and a King Crab duking it out, so it was quite noticeable that he could somehow back up faster than I can chase him down.

You were legged? Because those 20% wouldn't give you such a huge penalty. Legging does.

That stun lock mechanic when you're legged actually got removed entirely a couple months ago.
Possible you were stuck on another mech or terrain? Video or it didn't happen

Thank god it was removed. But losing a leg will still slow you down.

I'm thinking you lost a leg and didn't realize it.

I remember giving Russ an earful about it on twitter a few months back, and he did agree it was dumb... didn't realize it was gone... but it's probably been that long since I was last legged, too.

You were probably legged. I just tested this in the testing grounds and a blown ST had no effect on top speed with an IS mech and standard engine.

I can't remember the last time I got legged... Usually lose my CT or ST's before my legs are gone....

well, it was early september last time I ran Light Mechs.... and coincidentally, the last time I recall being legged.

Even my Locusts get ST'ed down before being legged....

There's still the initial slowdown, but no repeating 5 second long locks after 0.01 damage taken.

[Xoco]

Nope, wasn't legged. Guess it's a one time bug thing. Hasn't had that problem since. Guess I should be happy that it doesn't happen again.

[Not A Real RAbbi]

Still, report it. PLEASE, I mean. Sorry. Not trying to be bossy...

I personally think there is something going on hinky with the servers.. i usually run fast mechs but notice at times that mechs that should be slower than me often times stay in pace with me or routinely clip in front of me . (My favorite example: is a fast dragon 106 kph vs a timber wolf 87 kph yet some how the timber keeps pace with the dragon or actually out paces it at certain times. ) also there are times when in brawls or even when maneuvering in battle taking shots from mechs will also slow you down it feels like your being dragged back wards.

so in my experience i think what may have happened was that you was engaged in a battle with a high ping player or was being shot by a high ping player the resulting shots were actually dragging you down in speed . allowing the opposing player to out maneuver you.


there was thread earlier this month posting about speed issues it was largely dismissed , but i believe it may be coming more of a common occurrence lately.
