[Bugs] 'PAX patch'

It's an intended feature, but the timing is really slim. It's mostly up to luck.

Then people have been getting really lucky lately

It's likely they're not grappling you during your charge. It's more likely the server sees them as grappling you on their screen before the charge even occurs, and on your screen you charge at them as you see them coming. After lag from both clients gets factored in, the end result can be any number of things. Typically, the grapple will take precedence if it did indeed successfully occur, since they'll get locked in the animation and you'll be forced into it because if you didn't, there'd be IMPOSSIBLE DESYNCHRONIZATION and then you'd be ejected from the animus and the world would crumple like a paper ball.

yep had that one too
stationary non hovering un-deployed
grapple "wtf" grapple "oh wtf is going on" grapple "ffs stuffit" slash,slash get charged and ringed out/pancaked :evil:

Hardly jack is fixed.
Shots not landing, grapples failing, teleporting into assassin grapples, charges and chargegrapples not landing

Then there's the absolute fun(read: BULLS***) of the off chance you survive a lunge+frontgrapple because by the time the grapple ends, the assassin gets to do another lunge before you can even dodge and of course it counters everything else, shotgun to the face, countergrapples, charges, slams, everything

Oh, and apparently a smokebomb that hasn't even started takes priority out of a grapple

I guess charges also don't do much if someone is 1 inch off the ground

Another bit of oddity. Lvl3 Charge is supposed to do 450 damage on the grapple right?
And Silver Armor is supposed to grant another 150 to the 300 health an assassin gets(total 450), right?
So why are assassins with Silver Armor survivng with 50 health left?


All this, on a 60(in match, not browser) or better ping
Maybe I should just go tool around Euro servers as it seems higher ping = win now

Front grapples between two classes that aren't fatal always end in a crapshoot between who can smash the appropriate button faster/at the magical time and always have.

What do i do if my grapple ends up magically spinning an assault or he turns around mid-lunge and the face grapple ensues? I jump. Why? Because they ALWAYS charge.

Don't know about surviving Lv3 charge with silver armor. You're one of the rare assaults who uses Lv3 charge, most of them don't bother. I don't really get caught by it so i can't tell you. Assaults always charge so predictably anyway. I know i can survive an assaults grapple with gold armor unless i've taken prior damage, and that's all i know.

the big one i still see is shots hitting an opponent, but not doing any dmg. or you click to fire and the gun looks like its firing, but no rounds come out. :-(

For an assassin with Silver armor, it shouldn't be possible
Supposedly the lvl3 charge does 450 damage on the grapple, yet I keep seeing assassins survivng with a rough guess of 50 health left over
I had one survive earlier that I knew had gold RoF

I'm wondering if the new armor values are actually being applied to assassins

absolutely assassin is much softer after the patch
maybe they had an overheal

had the hovering lunge again today a friendly gunner slammed next to a tank and i lunged at him to finish him off only it was like i had been stunned too

I get the smokebomb fail too. The animation cuts short immediately and my skill cooldown completely empties, but I get no jump or blinding effect.

I've also had my Airstrike become EXTREMELY delayed / desynced. Meaning up to like 5 whole seconds before the bot I threw it at suddenly gets the incoming-strike-marker on him. I dont play on servers listing on the browser with more than 200 ping ever, and its never a function of overall game lag.

Also had an issue where I went to buy the annihilator on Grenade III but was killed (I forget exactly how, was by an assault). I lost my $250 but the annihilator wasn't used! The enemy team then bought it shortly after I respawned. I kept wondering "Is it going to go off? Did it just not play the sound effect or something?" but then the enemy team got it so I knew something was up.

another thing i have noticed lately as sin is trying to grapple someone only to find grapple is on cooldown that would be fine if it wasnt my first grapple of the game

does this happen to anyone else?

You probably whiffed a grapple earlier, or something like that. IF it was a spot on grapple though, it's the game.

That's an intended feature apparently, introduces risk into getting the annihilator.

The other team didn't even have a support

i guess you missed the if it wasnt my first grapple of the game

hmm dont know then
i know that i have died more often to assault charges since the patch though (gold armor)

I don't know if this is a glitch or not, but when I play tank there are times when i get grappled by an assassin before I can charge, and end up pressing the button right after the animation begins. Usually when this happens my charge goes on cooldown and i'm stuck trying to jetgun the assassin to death before she lunges and kills me .

Yea, I've had the same thing happen with Assault too

sounds a lot like what im getting with grapple im fairly certain that i have only experienced it when having a grapple dance with another sin and once after being mortar grappled by a gunner
