Anyone else notice when dropping they're facing the wrong way? Used to be you'd drop facing into the map, on about 70% of my drops tonight I've been facing out towards the boundary.

[Ozric]

Aye this is a pretty funny one. I'm waiting for somebody to just go full speed ahead at the drop and run straight out of bounds.

Yes...but maybe it prevents the 4 FPS bug

Had this several times:

1x River City Night (by the dropship)
2x Caustic (at the refinery)
2x Frozen City Night (at the north end)

Those were all 4-player group matches. Also made 3 8-player group drops before them (all Forest Colony), none of which had the problem.

All 'mechs start all matches facing 0°, cardinal north. Funny, but a bug nontheless.

In the Ice Map i mean this where in the middle a plane lies, when ppl start in c3 all looking to the south and must turn to go.

[MadPanda]

Its not just the ice map. All maps it seems your facing is messed up. What's the point in facing towards out of bounds at the start? Seems like a bug.

[Armorpiercer M82]

definetly bug. facing rocks, turning back to battlefield. happend in most of the maps for me from yesterday.

[Apoc1138]

played a few matches last night and nearly every drop my team all started off facing the wrong way... e.g. on frozen city side tunnel side of the map, we all started facing 90 degrees left, directly away from the tunnel entrance, river city, high end, we all started facing 180 degrees directly away from the river... it happened every time we loaded on to these maps at these ends... the other end of the same map seemed ok

someone I played with also mentioned that it had happened on caustic, but not sure which end as I didn't get it in my rotation last night

[Hauser]

Your mech is always facing north. Niko says, "Maybe the armour is a little to ferro and not enough fibrous...")

It's a know issue:

[Thorqemada]

Its PGIs subtle way to show us a "Braveheart"

[Mazgazine1]

i don't think this is a bug, it may be to combat some type of farming exploit. before when you spawned you could walk in a straight line into action, but now you have to turn, which may cause some scripts to have them run into a wall.

Its speculation I know, it kinda makes sense?

[Cest7]

Had my whole team spawn at the north facing north.... no?

[Latika]

We created a 4men group right after the patch and played a lot of matches. I cannot say if it was a frequent issue, but we did end up facing the map borders several times. All of the team was facing it, both our group and other players.

[Mims]

Bug or not, the game loads up faster now. no need to fix it.

[StalaggtIKE]

I believe it is some left over code from the new duel mode to be released in the next patch:

• Take 100 paces
  
• Then turn and shoot

I can deal with it, and it may help with less damage from accidental FF clicks at match start.

[Magnarr]

Not much of a big deal really, but since the recent patch I've found the entire team facing towards the outside of the map half the time. Not every match, just sometimes.

This wasn't in the patch notes but curious if it was intended for some reason or just a simple mistake.

[The Legendary Samurai]

Yes, highly annoying. Please fix that.
