Last night while playing after having downloaded the new patch, I noticed that assists occasionally wouldn't show up while I was dead. I wasn't sure if this was just a glitch in the display of "Kill Assist 7500CB" but after a match I noticed my assist count would not be as many mechs as I had gotten hits on that round. I hadn't read anything in the patch notes about assist credit being now only being awarded after a damage threshold, so I'm assuming that it is a bug. Several friends that I was playing with were having similar problems with assists counting.

Other than that, I love this patch (besides my friends constantly raging at the new team-mate color) and I love the new pre/post match screens.

He didn't just say that the assist wasn't noted at the time of the kill, he also noted that the end of game totals didn't match up with the number of mechs damaged. I have also noticed this.

It might be worth while making a more formal announcement of the assists not being announced, since it's a deliberate change to how people have come to expect the interface to behave.

Niko, do you think that the assists being programmed to not show up during the spectator screen could be causing the issue of them not counting when the match has concluded? Is the other UI issue being looked into for the patch on the 19th? Thank you for your time and response.

I think they may have upped the damage required for a kill assist from the previous - any (it seemed) to something around 10 damage. Possibly to deter suicide 1/2 shot touch laser divers.

il've hit things and didn't get an assist, not sure if my crosshairs are showing damage that didn't register or there is a min or its just glitched. I have for sure (on my end at least) hit someone and not gotten credit for the assist.
