Hit detection is falling apart.

[War Barney]

Trying to play today and its just not working, keep shooting at people getting clear hits but only 1/4 of them register, hell I just put 2 C4 on a sundie that was on half hp and it did NO damage at all.

I didn't think things could get worse but my god its now just pot luck who wins fights as you seem to roll a dice on every shot, 5+ it hits otherwise the game decided it didn't

I nominate you change your name from "War" Barney to "Bitch" Barney....who else agrees?

ps. Bitch Barney sounds way cooler anyway...

It's weird that some people are complaining about hit detection, to me Planetside 2 has the best hit detection system I've ever seen in an (MMO)FPS game, considering the number of players are playing and the fact that those players are from many different countries.

Maybe your internet connection was having a temporary issue, like, short-burst of connection lost?

[War Barney]

Checked the ping and there wasn't any issue and even a internet problem wouldn't account for 2 C4 doing nothing, shot a rocket at a MAX after that and it showed NO damage being done. This isn't a delay this is just it not registering anything as having happened.

I actually remember seeing a tweet post Hossin saying they are aware that hit detection has suffered post release and they are working on a fix. It's across the board but when there are hit detection issues the NC are more affected due to slower rate of fire over all and more recoil.

I saw that too I think Smed said something about it...

Its worse than suffered, even rockets and C4 seem capable of just not registering their damage. They need to fix this quickly, if anything its getting worse each day, I didn't notice such huge issues right after hossin but today it was incredibly obvious that I was shooting directly at people who just didn't register any damage.

If you get bad hit detection for more than 5-10 mins, just log out and log in again.
This fixes it for me 99% of the time. On the rare occasions its still foobar I just quit for the evening or go 100% support in a bio-farm.

Some nights its really bad, other times I can get by 50/50 and now and again I think I am on fire as I just cant seem to miss.
I find its more annoying in vehicles. 6 direct hits with the Fury-H on a cloaker who manages to do 80% of the harassers HP with 1 clip of his SMG.

(we've secretly replaced War Barney's ammunition with Nerf foam...apparently he noticed...)

[almalino]

Haha. Just played LA on Hossin and could not hit enemy guy from behind. First I though it is me missing but now I see this post and may be it is not me?

The mods should make this happen.

[Belhade]

Hit detection seems fine for me, even on Hossin. My aim is the problem, as always.

[CascadeBro]

Pretty sure I saw in the game update notes that they admit there is a problem with hit detection
