Y'all know you love it.



7 assists with 0 logged damage. 'Mech with a 20-point alpha. Per my subjective experience, at least three solid hits within minimum range, and several more outside before catching an unlucky PPFLD to the knob.

But yeah.

7 assists.

With 0 logged damage.

PGI?

Fix.
Your.
Bloody.
Game.

Your ping looks nice so I don't think it'd be a lag/latency issue but the game does have issues registering hits of everything but lasers. Part of the reason for laser dominance. They're the only weapons that register hits right.

[Brain Cancer]

I've seen that happen, but only with team damage/kills involved.

[InvictusLee]

Happens to me all the time despite my favoritism towards PPCs.

Also, what we really need to see is your individual report, not just the team one. That might have the clues needed here.

team damage from strikes

yeah I know you can hardly do any damage to the enemy
but damage to friends registers fine

I removed all of my strikes from my medium IS Mechs
because they will eventually get to the point where they are penalizing
you for excessive team damage

[WrathOfDeadguy]

No strikes used. 0 team damage dealt. No collisions with enemies. Don't have a screen proving that, but... well, I may have been a tad salty when that match wrapped, so I was busier pouring a drink than I was taking screens (someone else snapped that one). Least satisfying win of the year? Definitely.

That's the only time it's been that bad, admittedly. However... c'mon, guys. Really? Zero damage? I'd have had to do less than 0.14 damage per enemy struck to manage that nonsense score. Less than half that, actually, because the game rounds up in the stats, so if I'd done even 0.5/7 damage divided among the enemies I hit, I would have still registered at least one damage. I mean, I'm not one to cry wolf where there's nothing hinky, but... seriously?

Sigh...

But really, I love this game. Kept playing for ~6 hours. Wouldn't complain if I didn't care.

*edit*

Oh, and feel free to embarrass me with that later. I was totally awful in that round, scoreboard weirdness notwithstanding. I deserve every little bit of ridicule you can muster for that performance.

Currently assists are given for any enemy mech that died and witch you had targeted with R key at least once throughout the game.

So, you missed all your shots or hit beyond dmg range, but did target 7 targets with R key before you died. Your team killed them all, so you were given assists for those.

End of story.

[A Headless Chicken]

I believe things hurt/killed by your lancemates are considered assists. I have not done testing, but there are games in FW where scoreboard says I touched all 48 enemy meks (yes i am a creepy uncle) despite me obviously not having done so.

edit: just read the post above, now i know.

I have to admit I have made the same experience but not with 0 damage. I'm pumping damage into enemies all the time and no damage is count. It's the same for a Friend of mine. Something feels off. Happens with lasers but is recognizable best with PPCs that hit and the crosshair is not turning red.

[Vellron2005]

Oh, hitreg issues are not new...

I've unloaded 70 point laser alphas into Urbies only to have them not register and the urbie killing me with machine guns.. it's frustrating..

I find several mechs soak damage like sponges.. Urbies are the top offender, Assassins are the next, and then there are a few more..

Only yesterday I unloaded 7 or 8 nice 70pt damage LRM alphas withing LOS into an Urbie, and barely broke it's armor.. That usually kills an Atlas outright in 4 Alphas..

So yeah..

Oh, and there's ačllready a thread somewhere about doing 0 damage and having multiple Kill Assists.. Still have no idea how that happens..

Yeah I've seen these odd assist notifications on enemies far away from me, I guess it's because of this.

I'd consider it an achievement tbh.

First player ever to do 0 dmg but 7 assists.
