The latest bug for the magrider

Majik · 2004-02-07, 10:11 AM

Well my fellow Magrider drivers, we've been "fixed" by the latest patch again. Now whenever a Mag goes straight over or balances for a second on a hill point, which is to say any rise in the contient with a sharp angle at the top regardless of height, the mag loses HALF of it's armor in damage. Last night my armor group got pwned by Oshur and Cyssor more often than the enemy.

Yeah, same here. Died in 3 bumps yesterday.

And our outfit are going to do a tank platoon today

I saw a Mag blow up that was running away I thought WTF was that?

This is bad. I assume it has already been posted in the Oficial Forum...

Makes magriders easier to kill

Yea last night I caught two guys in a mag repairing I owned them and jacked it. The guys were pretty happy I had gotten us a mag, then it blew up from the ground.

UncleDynamite · 2004-02-07, 11:07 AM

Yeah, the Magrider problem is bad. I saw a squad's worth of Mags blow themselves while fleeing across the hill. It actually makes me feel bad for the VS, amazingly enough.

Horrible problem now, didn't believe others when they said it, but then tried it for myself.

Do the other tanks have a problem like this?

It's possible in a vanguard to hit a dip just right and take about 1/8 to 1/4 damage. It's happened less and less in the past months. But, I have been driving vans off-road less and less since they have horrible off-road handling now.

The lighting does it quite frequently

NoSurrender · 2004-02-07, 12:59 PM

well our deliverer blew up yesterday. since the delivs lack of hill ability we were climbing up one at like 1kph then like just blew up. no mines, no decon, it was like spontainus combustion. also has anyone noticed claimed facilities on your map?

Laeritides · 2004-02-07, 01:09 PM

This is a perfect example of why the patch should have come out on Monday. If they would have released on Monday they could have fixed this bug before the weekend, when most ppl play.

Jagd · 2004-02-07, 01:15 PM

Yeah, there is a little toggle window for claimed facilities. Sweet... Maybe OBO isn't as far away as they would have us believe.

EDIT: Hey don't they often release patches on Fridays? Doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense in terms of stability and the player experience, but it does let them stress test the crap out of their code.

Yeah this bug is lame. It isn't half health though, it's a little less than half. I did it twice and was still alive with a sliver... a switchblade then proceeded to own us

dscytherulez · 2004-02-07, 01:56 PM

Hmm...news to me, i didn't try driving my mag yet. By the way it sounds it sucks pretty bad though...I hope they fix it soon.
