I know most who have played have been wondering why is it I feel my suit is made out of glass. I have had suits with 1200+ HP and get cut down with ease. I just want to know is this from hit detection being fixed or is it another bug. I have never had this problem before until now. So any ideas as to why it seems our suits are easier to destroy. Not a rage or QQ forum. This is a peaceful open discussion, so please keep civil.

This could be from lagging. I have a proto logi with little over 800 ehp in shields and armor. What you describes happened to me playing on the US servers and worse on the oceanic servers, I am from Europe. And it was on 1.3.
I would be killed by milita starter outfits before I got more than a few shots towards them. The latency can result in you being shot at 300-400 ms before you see it on your screen, ie. you are already half dead. I will show as if only a few bullets strips your shield and half your armor before you get to react.
Other indication is the curving bullets, you are taking fire and dive behind cover and continues to take damage and die even if you just stepped behind the cover.

I easily go positive K/D on the Europe server when running in my proto suits, but it is far more challenging on other region servers.

The same applies when other regions players enter the Europe server, I feel invincible killing them quickly before they start to react.

Server lag is improving, however lag compensation is still in effect which means that bullets that you do dodge are considered in the wrong place, this is the bullet curving you are refering to?

Tl;dr version:
GÇó In the next hot-fix weapons will all get a 10% damage increase to compensate for the removal of the Weaponry skill bonus.
GÇó HMG damage buffed to 18 HP (including aforementioned 10% increase) and given a 5% dispersion buff.
GÇó In the near future, we will address range issues by removing the hard stop that currently takes place at maximum weapon range.

In Chromosome, the Weaponry skill gave an across the board 2% damage bonus to handheld weapons per level. Given the low SP cost of the skill (and the fact that itGÇÖs a pre-req for every weapon in the game) the majority of players would just skill straight to level 5 making the skill pretty pointless. So, in Uprising we removed the skill bonus. The side effect of this, of course, is that time-to-kill has increased.

This, combined with some of the control issues weGÇÖve been seeing, has led to combat feeling worse than it did in Chromosome. We will address this with a hot-fix that gives an across the board 10% increase to all handheld weapon damage to put DPS back to where it was. Additionally, weGÇÖve increased HMG damage and reduced the dispersion penalty when moving by 5% to address issues with the weapon.

The removal of the Sharpshooter skill (which gave bonuses to range) has also highlighted some issues with range in general. Weapon classes need unique range profiles. I doubt anyone would dispute that. And the sharpshooter skill was pushing far too many weapons beyond their intended engagement ranges. While itGÇÖs removal has caused some issues, the SS skill was a crutch and it hid more deep-seated problems with range in the game. It will not be coming back.

Right now, all weapons have an optimal and maximum range. Unfortunately, at its max range the weapon simply stops doing damage. This is bad for a whole host of reasons and weGÇÖll be addressing this with a point release in the near future by giving all weapons an optimal, effective and absolute range. Up to the optimal range weapons will do 100% damage (shield/armor profiles notwithstanding) and then drop off slowly towards their effective range. From effective range out to the absolute range damage will drop noticeably but weapons will still do incidental damage even at extreme ranges.

Some of thatmis old news, but im concerned they wanna decrease the ttk further its what makes this game different!!

Pretty much, however be sure to improve your jitter on your line lag, is less about distances from servers more about how many times a command has to be sent to register!!

There's something funky with the AR's, I know aim assist is helping them stay on target, but from experience, no other weapon bar maybe the laser rifle has had as big of an improvement from pre-patch to post-patch, and considering the AR was already good pre-patch, it's become insane afterwards.

When you have a weapon that can out DPS large hybrid turrets with 60 shots in the clip, virtually no dispersion/kick or anything to counter trigger feathering, what do you expect? Yet somehow other weapons are deemed as OP.

Or more, have you seen CEOpyrex s video, he swipes across a guy three times and clunk!!

The standard AR is insane and needs to be toned down at some point. It's the elephant in the room that's always going to get ignored and people are too ignorant and stubborn to see it.
