Sparks Hit Detection?

(N8o) #1

Is it just me or is Sparks hit detection back to being very spotty? I can shoot 3-4 shots at someone on the ground and it wont rez them, even at point blank. I have spent 300 hours playing Sparks and this never used to happen before.

really? i haven’t played since red eye patch. try shooting them in the head. pre sparks fix this never worked afaik so if it’s broken again that could be the case

This happened to me a few times today while playing her. I tried to rez a few teammates, even standing right on top of them and they only squirted a little blood and wouldn’t revive until the third try.

It was working really well until the redeye update. Now sparks gun just does not want to revive people anymore.

I noticed this too.

They definitely broke something, I never really had too much of a problem with it until today.

I had huge issues when Sparks first came out for a few weeks, then there was some patch that basically fixed it for me. I didnt try Sparks for a couple days but i will and see if it is bad again.

Noooooo D: Not my Sparks ;-; Took me forever to learn how to play her as well as I do now… if they have broken her, I will be very sad :c

Guess it’s time to stop derping around with Nader and Fletcher, and get back to playing my main girl c:

EDIT: I just played quite a few games with Sparks, and I came across nothing like this :s guess I may just be lucky? Or perhaps you were just unlucky, lol xP

Yea, it is a few isolated situations. It happened to me maybe 20-30 times across a 5 hour play time. I guess you did just get lucky or perhaps didn’t notice at all?

Guess I just ain’t stumbled across it yet ^.^ I play Sparks all the time, so I don’t think I’d miss it if it happened XD haha

I have the same problem since the update. Need 2-3 shots to revive…

(XavienX) #13

Same thing with Vassili’s sniper rifles. If you hit a turret or healing station once, it won’t let you hit it again, but it will let you hitmarker it with the machine pistol for some reason. And sometimes, you go off with headshots, sometimes you just get bodyshots on afk people for some reason.

Been playing Sparks for the past 2 hours or so now, and I haven’t seen any hit-detection nonsense with her. Everything hits where I shoot it and I never have a problem reviving.

The only time I have a problem reviving is when SOMEONE RUNS IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LAST SECOND AND BLOCKS IT. lmao c:

I know those feels.
I have been playing for 3 hours so far and I have ran into the hit detection issue 6 times already.

(Badger_Commander) #16

I’ve noticed it too, hopefully it’ll be in the next hotfix.

([eXo]Deeds) #17

Omg more bugs then before.

Preise stop releasing mercs… Stop live streams on twitch and use the time to fix the game!

(N8o) #18

This has only gotten worse with the new updates. It’s gotten to the point where I am shooting their bodies at least 5 or 6 times and they wont rez until the last shot. I want the hit detection to be back to where it was right after they fixed it. It was perfect.

(sirjj) #19

Yea it happens every game I play with her. It is really annoying and then sometimes people get mad that i didn’t rez them but I tell them it glitched.

(Faraleth) #20

Yep, it’s got absolutely terrible for me recently… To the point of frustrating that I no longer want to play my favourite merc.

Whether it’s reviving or shooting targets, the hit detection is borked. :c
