Getting seriously sick of BS shots

(coolstory) #21

Bullets don’t go where you aim…even while ADS and I think the hitboxes are all messed up. SD made a FPS game in which shooting doesnt matter…just press the F key.

(Runeforce) #22

Sounds like lag. Your description of him is not what he experiences (what you see on screen is not what is actually happening.) But I hate those instances very all your shots seem to miss, although you can see you are hitting. Not much to do about it, except scream at the screen (or curse at your ISP, or someones.)

I’ve had this happen in ****ing Challenge. Bots down me in a single shot from their lousy SMGs while I need at least 3 bodyshots from a Rokstedi to take them out. Insane.

I’ve also been headshotted from at least 50 feet with a Maximus/Chinzor…

I understand the smg shooter had you on low health. As for the l33t-sh00tin’ MG, I’d so want to see that. :slight_smile:

To end this rant now, you can’t get killed with one shot. SD made sure of thatwiththe sniper rifles.

(Cep) #26

I don’t see that in game Baiken, I hear 1 shot, I see 1 shot and I am being killed.

So unless there is some bug in the netcode that means the time between shots fired separately on the client whilst using an SMG is causing the server to “bundle” successive firing as one shot when it hits my client, I don’t buy it.

I do not believe this is lag either, it cannot be, otherwise surely my timed accurate, multiple shots would behave the same way, and in most cases I am one of the few with the best ping in game. So no I don’t think this is lag, its something else and its infuriating.

Hitboxes are fine.

and what?

Maybe, then it has to be the game’s ****ty hit reg. Cause the servers I was on were good ones with 20-40 ping. I aim at the head and nothing happens…or sometimes when I miss I get the shot. Pretty funny. Too bad you cant record demos in this game otherwise I’d make a video.

(Kurushi) #29

Probably spread. Brink is the most responsive game I’ve played in a long long time in terms of latency and hit reg

Double weapon buff barnett = 1 headshot kill to fully health buffed light and unhealthbuffed medium.

With a buffed ritchie I can get OHK as well on lights.

Cep there is something going on with networking, the very reasons you describe is one of the main reasons I have walked away from Brink.

Couldn’t say why it occurs as I have had it pop up on a server where I had 60 ping to upwards to servers that I was on with 138 ping. I think it stems mostly form the serversnapshot 3 command that was implemented then got worse in the networking tweak patch, but SD and the majority of the players are worried about weapon buff/tweaks so this never got much attention.

And it occurs exactly as you describe, running a medic self buffed no damage taken.

Thudd Dead.

No head shot, no nut shot.

Just thudd and Dead.

I also feel that this whole issue has been a big factor in the Carb rage, and contributed to people feeling like it was overpowered. When it seems to me more that players were getting the Thud Dead aspect, from a highly used weapon.

Thud Dead. I know exactly what you mean but I really don’t get it that often. Gotta admit it does make me suspicious but I put it down to lucky headshots or something. It’s that rare I don’t worry about it

(sanDIOkan) #33

your talkin about a problem that was told, time a go in the proper forum and they didnt fix it
strange they usually fix everything :expressionless:

btw called hit bug and happens randomly with a ping higher than 30/40 or laggy conn.

(wolfnemesis75) #34

There are oneshot kills in this game. Engineer holds the code. :slight_smile:

What problem lol?

(sanDIOkan) #36

look in the help desk forum
there is a youtube video showing that this engine has a hit problem that gets worse when the ping gets higher.
This is why u can get instantly killed and gibbed (enemy has lower ping)

Crispy knows very good

(Cep) #37

Well I am glad to see that other players identify with this issue. It is as Deadwalking says something that’s not directly related to latency.

And I would love to be able to record a demo of when these things happen, I could start a WTBrink? Blog or something with all the times I get spanked by this nonsense.

Hit problems when the ping gets higher? Are you kidding?
