I did a quick play match tonight and ended up on the European server. I am in NA. I was piloting a HBR Prime with 2 x cUAC5 and 3 cERML. The map was Frozen City.

One minute into the game I crested a ridge and saw an Artic Cheetah. I fired an Alpha and got a hit reg on the target reticle. He closed on me and I fired the ACs again and followed with the ML. Again hit regs on each salvo.

I took damage from him and another more distant Mech so I retreated over the ridge line and he followed. Coming straight at me. I painted him with the lasers and then turned to get unstuck from an object. He let me have it in the back.

I then turned and faced him. He stood dead still at about 200m and I hit him 5 x 2 cUAC5 dead center in the center torso and 3 volleys of the 3 x cerml at the same spot. Then he advanced straight at me and let me have it with lasers as I torso twisted to no avail. Dead.

I have been humbled. Just when I thought I was beginning to improve I get taken out by a Light pilot who does not even try to avoid my shots. To his credit he ended up with 6 kills and 685 damage. We lost 4 to 12.

It may be time to report to a solhama unit for garrison duty.

Nah, been seeing some very funny thing with regards to hit reg lately.

I get shot from the front with my back against a wall and it registers back damage, weird.

Absolutely no light pilot would sit dead still in front of you and just let you three volleys of laser alpha into him. You are suggesting that he stood stationary in front of you for about 13 seconds?

Honestly though, some players almost appear like that. I've run into some ACH pilot lately (always the same name, on NA server) with ping that would jump to 4000-5000 during combat, but otherwise okay out of combat. It causes him to teleport all over the place, or appear stationary (but with no shot registering). All while his own shots still work properly with HSR.

And someone is making a killing selling lagswitches.

Yep. Did not move. Just stood there as I shot five times with the two acs and 3 times with the lasers. The only thing I could figure was somehow I was lagging like crazy but my ping at the beginning of the game was around 150.

The haxusations are real.

[Roland09]

Yes. It's called "naming and shaming", and it's a violation of the ToS. If you suspect people of foul play, take it up with PGI's support, preferably with supporting evidence, such as match recordings.

Someone went full mudhut.

This thread is going places.

Not good places, but places nonetheless.

Ballistic Hitreg bugs AC-5s and Gauss are notorious for causing Back-shots from the front

Well maybe the topic will get deleted. Or what ever. But it makes me happy to mention this in passing. I'm off for now. Have fun.

Looking forward to the faction play event tomorrow.

Maybe no tier 1 jocks...I've seen it plenty. Usually they die, but sometimes Hitreg says naw..this lil pukes gonna live. *shrugs*

This may seem off topic but it isn't.

Think goal tenders in the NHL are wearing goalie pads 2X the size that goalie pads were before because they are better goal tenders? No its because they suck more than before. Suck with a capital SUCK. No I wasnt a goal tender its just the perfect example or really bads changing the rules because they are really bad.

wanna know the secret hack?
Torrent.
I don't know if possible, but pgi should watch/register how the player's ping changes during a match.....and ban.
