Plenty of other people out there that want to shoot me vass, don't need the 3 other people I'm dropping with doing that for me thanks.

I don't know if engine crits are in, but XL's really do seem to just pop as soon as the internals get touched.

I can confirm this is happening 100%

All sections effectively have 0.1 structural HP now and will die the second they take damage.

I have no clue how a bug this game breaking can get through even the worst QA

Oh wait, because PGI doesn't have QA,

yes they do, you're an *****.

Wouldn't be surprised if the "tweaked" aka broke the critical system and now every weapon dose criticals at a much higher rate so you see exploding stuff everywhere.

No, listen. Asshattery and joking aside, IF they have an internal testing team it is easily one of the worst that I've ever seen. I'm not convinced that it's not just the devs playing a match here and there when they get a chance. The amount of obvious bugs and issues that get through is nothing less than ridiculous.

They literally release patches and within hours the playerbase has already detected bugs/issues often with math to prove/explain it. Edit : These are not obscure and hard to detect bugs, either. Not to even mention that the same 6 month old issues are still here and have shown no signs of even being worked on.

I've said it a couple times, they're either disconnected from how the game is actually functioning because they're the ones developing it or they're incompetent.

Someone suggested it might be Endo Steel specific. ALL my mechs use Endo practically.

I will go test this right now

I wouldn't mind if the LBX10 did this, honestly. It'd give it a purpose.

[Vassago Rain]

I'm poofing trialmechs and everybody else in one hit now. Poof. poof. Farming kills. But it's working as intended, right?

Right?

[De La Fresniere]

Happened again.

I guess I'll reequip the old SE 190 for now...

EDIT: And yes, I use Endo-Steel too. If that's the problem too, I'm pretty much screwed.

PGI doesn't have a testing team because IGP is supposed to handle it. From what I've been hearing they've been dropping the ball so that PGI has to make impromptu testing.

Well I'll get some books read and marked off my list of things to do. Here's a hotfix, soon.

We are seeing that EVERY internal hit is a critical hit.

Get hit 3 times in the CT internal and your down.

They might have screwed up the crit chance roll... Did you have anything else in your CT? If not, then a 100% crit chance means 1 shot minimum 3 shot maximum to kill on an exposed CT.

Engine crits were never functional before, though. Even w/PGI's patch noting skills, enabling something that major w/o notes seems shocking.

That would actually be a very good explanation, since most parts in the mech only have 10hp even a triple critical hit of a small laser can kill you engine, not to mention when it not hits the engine but just the internal structure itself nearly 1/3 is gone.

[Clay Pigeon]

And since lasers do DoT, each tick should crit.

[De La Fresniere]

I kept the Endo-Steel but switched my Engine for a non-XL one, and I didn't die instantly when my side torso internals were damaged.
