Hi all,
Since I installed the last update yesterday (using the launcher) it seems that crossbow bolts sometimes fly straight through a person without hitting him. I've been playing with xbow for a while now so I'm used to missing a lot, but since yesterday I've had several cases of missing a guy when there was no doubt the bolt should have hit (target filling the reticule). It's not a problem with lag, I usually have between 40 and 50 ping.
Maybe I'm seeing things, but has anyone else noticed this? Has anything been changed that affects hit boxes or something?
Thanks.

I've noticed this with throwing. Really annoying to see that 1/3 of your overall ammunition goes right through your enemy from pointblank range, allowing him to kill you :/
-
It happened before we had WSE, with all projectiles, specially in the area directly bellow the neck. Mostly related to lag/pl issues.
Maybe that's why I didn't really take it into much consideration after last patch.
-
sometime i heard it was because armor were actually bigger than people allowing bolt to go, BUT I'm not sure. and YES I did saw a lot of strange behavior like throwing lance ''missing'' target when I was in front of him...
-
Good so it's not just me. It seems to be the same for all projectiles. I think this problem has always existed, but it seems worse now than before.
Still it doesn't happen very often, just really sucks when it does.

Happens to me too with throwing, really frustrating. Shields like buckler still manage to suck my throwables from the side of enemy tho.

Yup - I've experienced this quite a lot recently, especially from short range (or maybe its just more obvious from close range).
Issue can be reproduced with any Xboxs and both types of bolts; and with the feedback here, seems to affect all ranged weapons. Also was seen on both moving and static targets.
note 1: I'm usually in the 35-50 ping range.
note 2: This is not specific to the last patch, I've seen this since I started Xbow a few weeks ago. Mostly thought I was crazy and imagining things...;p

The amount of cover that bucklers give is rediculous. :evil:
Magic soup bowls or something

I've noticed more swings hitting at a farther distance, especially from swords. Dunno if its related. I too have good ping and cpu.
