This has happened to me quite a few times now where hitting a wall at a certain angle while jump jetting causes my mech to get launched incredibly high or far, and actually ends up causing quite a bit of leg damage. It's usually triggered when I'm using a light mech, such as the spider, arctic cheetah, or jenner. Oddly enough, it mostly seems to happen on Vitric, but has also happened on Frozen and Emerald Vale.
Sadly, I don't have any screenshots of footage to showcase this. Usually don't record any matches, but thinking now that I should.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas as to what might be the cause?
It happened to me a few days ago on Vitric Station. I was piloting a light 'Mech. I was on the ground and I wanted to jump on the platform. I jumped and I when I was about to land on the ledge, I used my jump jets to soften my landing. You know, you have to be careful because you have only a minimal amount of JJ fuel left.
But when I actually touched the ledge, I skyrocketed into the air. I hovered much higher than the highest spire that was suddenly under my 'Mech. It was really funny.
After a few seconds I came down softly like a feather.
