Before the patch that fixed the hitboxes I was pretty decent with the class. The last few playtests, tho, I've had some pretty major issues. The rifle works as intended a lot of the time, and I feel like the registry is great. But then there are times where the target is standing still for a lengthy period of time, and I have shot 5+ shots, to the torso of the target, and them taken no damage, or only a hit or two registered.

Happened the other day when Praz was typing. Five shots unloaded into the torso, centered in, and he said he heard the shots hitting the ground all around him. I was standing still, not too far away, with a clear shot. Ping and everything was okay, wasn't any kind of performance type issue.

Was wondering if anyone else had any similar issues? It isn't all the time, some shots go where intended and register perfectly. Then there's a pretty good number of times the above scenario happens and it's quite frustrating. I had a demo recorded and accidentally deleted it thinking it was a different one, next playtest I'll get one recorded for you tho, David.

Sniper hit detection was working alright for me, torso damage could be better though.

I havent had many problems with it.. i was doing quite well yesterday with it

Yeah a video would help then I can show the programmers and technical artist (dec) what's going on and see if we can throw together a fix.


I haven't had too many problems with it my self, but I have witnessed a few weird situations regarding it.

There was a time that I got six shots off on a guy (2 in the limbs, 3 in the torso, and one in the head; with blood hitting the ground for nearly each shot) and he ended up killing me while I reloaded. I tried the sniper for fifteen minutes and don't recall getting a kill with the rifle even though at least half of my mid range shots were connecting.

I think that's a ping issue. I know my shots were sometimes missing for what i thought was no apparant reason but i did have a ping of about 150+.

That's entirely likely. Five minutes later I was having lag from hell that game.

I agree with Vaygus, on the last playtest I could barely hit anything. It definitely felt off to me.
