any time this archer was more than 100 meters away, it's Center Torso and Cockpit would literally pop out it's butt. Haven't realyl seen many Archers about post patch, so IDK if this is isolated yet or what.... (Running Graphics on stock settings: Medium)

Was unable to interview the pilot as to whether his new CT placement actually helped minimize damage, sadly. ;)

Just curious, anyone else see this yet?

From the Hotfix's patchnotes.

Greetings MechWarriors,

We will be rolling out a hot-fix, currently scheduled for Thursday July 21st at 3:00 PM PDT [10PM UTC], with the following changes:




• Archer: Fixed an issue where the Center Torso could appear invisible at certain ranges.
• Crab: Fixed an issue where the claws would be removed when no weapons were equipped in the LA/RA.
• Phoenix Hawk: Fixed a tilt issue with the Center Torso.
• Viper: Fixed an issue where the Set of 8 Bonus was listed as a Set of 2.
• UrbanMech: Fixed an issue with Torso Twisting beyond a certain degree.
• Viridian Bog: Fixed an issue where the Mini Map did not reflect the updated terrain.
• Fixed an issue where OmniPods could appear to be duplicated when they are unequipped and the Loadout is saved.
• Fixed an issue where the First Victory of the Day Bonus could be rewarded multiple times.
• Fixed an issue where double-tapping C-UAC weaponry would trigger Heat Scale as if multiple weapons of the same type were being fired simultaneously.

Perhaps unrelated...
Last night I was trying to cap the enemy base in my Daka Timberwolf

An archer came to kill me with a couple of his buddies

My fit can dish out 75 damage In just under a second. Uac20, uac5, for 50 damage on double tap. 5ersl for backup at 25 damage I think. Possibly more

I popped out and gave him a double tap alpha into his ct at 160m
Good hit reg on my end
I ducked back into cover for a 3 second recharge break.
Popped back out and gave him another 75pt alpha into ct at 100m
Followed up with an additional double tap uac5 and laze strike for 35 more damage, then I died

All three of my attacks landed with good hit reg on my end

I switch to a team atlas to view the rest of the match

I was surprised the archer survived my assault but didn't think much of it until..
Here comes the same guy in the same archer strolling up to my teammates atlas with NO damage whatso ever
Paint not even scratched

The archer mauled the atlas taking no damage. Though I witnissed it take several powerful alphas

The archer then turned and mauled a maller
And then a hunchback...
And then...

I chalked it up to lag or something..

In the end he did have damaged arms. But pristine core!

Stranger things have happen.

Pull the head out of the butt and put it in its place is definitely something they should do.
