Ploo-Koon Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 277	Posted - 2013.11.11 16:49:00 - [2] - Quote Holy ****, I thought I was imagining it last night. I tried with a Isakone, a Thale's and a Charge and NOTHING I did would register a hit. I thought maybe it was an environment glitch on Spine Crest.

Zero Notion Wraith Company 308	Posted - 2013.11.11 17:08:00 - [3] - Quote Ditto.
DEATH DEALER 1975 KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 5	Posted - 2013.11.11 17:10:00 - [4] - Quote I have seen this too.
Doc Noah Algintal Core Gallente Federation 840	Posted - 2013.11.11 17:14:00 - [5] - Quote The environment has a larger hitbox than you think, if your aim is just barely over a hill and your target is in sight, its possible the server registers your shots as blocked by the environment but on your screen it plays out normally. Same for the other way around, if a person's head just barely clears a mountain hill or object, the server would register as hitting the environment even though the shot is made on your screen.
VAHZZ The dyst0pian Corporation 136	Posted - 2013.11.11 17:16:00 - [6] - Quote Alas, this is the plight of Snipers. I have been a victim of the enviroment guarding my enemy just as Noah has said. ^ The merc with a mouth - beware of random bouts of insanity! i should make an Everything Nixon Corp

I get that, but I've miss targets who were fully exposed on towers. They take one step to the right and I can hit them, but one to the left and no joy. If the environment hitbox was consistent that'd be a situation you could adjust to. (GöÉGöî ).....[ a¦Å^Gûá ].....{ a¦Å\°/a¦Å }.....( : : )
Kasira Vorrikesh Paladin Survey Force Amarr Empire 11	Posted - 2013.11.12 08:02:00 - [8] - Quote I notice bad detection still as well. The blue shield hit really bothers me, because I think they (the target) can tell they've been hit even though no damage registers, and so they take evasive action. I've also noticed that it's much easier to headshot a running scout or medium than it is to HS a stationary heavy; seems illogical. I find it's almost impossible to HS a heavy with any regularity; and I mean strictly in wide-open areas, no cover.

ChribbaX Otherworld Enterprises Dust Control Otherworld Empire Productions 835	Posted - 2013.11.12 08:53:00 - [9] - Quote Lots of bad with snipers imo. DUSTBoard - Mercenary sheets DUSTSearch - DUST Forum mirror

Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 2095	Posted - 2013.11.12 09:53:00 - [11] - Quote Combine it with a redline, and counter sniping becomes a health hazard. And I'm not talking in-game. No.

PADDEHATPIGEN BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 90	Posted - 2013.11.12 11:47:00 - [13] - Quote Yes im having the same problem.
Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic Top Men. 269	Posted - 2013.11.12 12:20:00 - [14] - Quote Are you in the redline? Maybe it's only an issue from there.
calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 1205	Posted - 2013.11.12 14:30:00 - [15] - Quote ya 1.6 screwed the sniper hit detection. you can still snipe but the outer edges of a character causes a blue shield, and latency correction seems to be gone. I often hit a character that is running by completely missing, but if I hit dead on it's a miss.

IKR I honestly felt there was an invisible wall just trolling me. I could have gotten so many kills that match. There there Mr. Scout and Ms. Heavy, don't cry* You'll still be useful in my eyes
Cody Sietz Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 1389	Posted - 2013.11.12 14:51:00 - [17] - Quote Tell that to my dead body! Seriously though that does suck. My snotty has been a little wonky too. Mostly late at night when I've been playing a bit so it could be the memory leak thing.
lrian Locust DUST University Ivy League 292	Posted - 2013.11.12 14:56:00 - [18] - Quote Same here. But I think this error has been around before 1.6. There's been more threads on the blue flare.
Kasote Denzara A Vulture 737	Posted - 2013.11.12 14:57:00 - [19] - Quote So, how does it feel to get what shotguns and nova knives had been getting for the longest time now? Fuckin' sucks, eh? If you think Plasma Rifles take skill to use and are fine as they are, you are the problem.
Poonmunch Sanguis Defense Syndicate 548	Posted - 2013.11.12 17:40:00 - [20] - Quote This was happening to me all day yesterday more or less consistently. It was a long weekend here, so maybe it was just lag. But still kind of a bother. Munch What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

8213 The Neutral Zone 672	Posted - 2013.11.12 17:49:00 - [21] - Quote What does that little percentage next the target mean? Because I had my dot on a guy and it said 90%. I moved to his head and it said 175%. I thought that was how much my shot was going to damage him? But when I shot, the guy still had health left and I had to finish him off with a quick body shot.
Kahn Zo Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 73	Posted - 2013.11.12 17:51:00 - [22] - Quote And I thought it was just me the last few days... Same issue as well. No red lining shots. Most within 250 m Redberries standing there picking there noses,... There heads should of popped right off. nada. Pure Gallente

Its really annoying CCP the people are clearly out of cover but i cannot kill them even if i head shot them! When CCP fixes one thing, they break another. Applaud. Hit detection has always sucked for me. You must find the hitbox it is there, only hidden. A real sniper doesn't provide battlefield intelligence, a real sniper leaves no intelligence left on the battlefield.

This does seem like the logical answer. i remember playing fallout new vegas and thinking i had a good line of sight and as i go for the headshot, the car i'm crounching anext to takes the shot instead. Happiness is as a butterfly. when pursed it's always just beyond your grasp. but should you relax, It may alight you
Niuvo NECROM0NGERS 754	Posted - 2013.11.12 17:54:00 - [25] - Quote The annoying part is that they can hit you while you had unloaded a full clip and nothing.

They take one step to the right and I can hit them, but one to the left and no joy. If the environment hitbox was consistent that'd be a situation you could adjust to. As someone who spends a quarter of his time sniping people from towers... Towers don't render for crap-all at a distance and appear much smaller then they really are. This is why it's hilarious when they try and "sneak" to the edge because you can literally see all of them and just have to wait for their head to turn red. Closed Beta Vet Reading the forums detracts from overall enjoyment of the game
Wombat in combat TeamPlayers 146	Posted - 2013.11.12 18:15:00 - [27] - Quote I get this almost always when I snipe. Thanks Doc Noah for pointing out the environment thing.

Efficiency rating. Basically how much damage you would do. 100% is normal, meaning you'll do the normal amount of damage. 175% means you'll do 75% more damage. There there Mr. Scout and Ms. Heavy, don't cry You'll still be useful in my eyes
calvin b Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 910	Posted - 2013.11.12 22:18:00 - [29] - Quote With all the I hate sniper threads I do not see this as being fixed. I am tired as well to see an individual and fire 5 shots and not one hits. So I switch to my scout and run up the hill or into the red line and SG them pointblank. At the moment snipers are screwed until they fix hit detection. Do not eat the yellow snow
TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 4565	Posted - 2013.11.12 22:24:00 - [30] - Quote Sniper shots not registering? I see no problem here. Never forget Level 4 Forum Warrior King of airborne swine.

Fire of Prometheus DUST University Ivy League 1586	Posted - 2013.11.12 22:27:00 - [31] - Quote This happened to me with 3 consecutive headshots from my kaalakiota......nothing happened to my target :( "It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it." -Aristotle

So if your first double-tap misses, you have to reload and your target will be gone.
Eldest Dragon 0uter.Heaven Proficiency V. 366	Posted - 2013.11.12 23:03:00 - [33] - Quote This has happened to me too, and I hardly ever snipe, so if I noticed it its def a problem. When your playing dust and your frustrated...if all else fails...turn off the ps3 works every time.

Cyzad4 Blackfish Corp. 44	Posted - 2013.11.12 23:23:00 - [35] - Quote yeah I played a few days ago and it was brutal, I just assumed it was because I'm on a dif net connection, well that and I almost never play anymore LOL Reported for trolling
