Hello Fellow Rejects, I just wanted to ask you one thing concerning muties. For a veeery long time i have been avoiding Mutants safely by sliding, sometimes even close to their direction. Recently i have noticed it doesn’t work anymore - they grab me 100% of the time if i slide even diagonally in …

[image] Patch 1.12.4 - Patch Notes Fixed an issue where Mutant and Chaos Spawn grabs did not take Dodge Linger times into account in their hit detection. Recent changes to their hit detection.

That’s a shame… Doesn’t make sense, since it was ok before. Same with hounds. Instead of repairing things that actually need it - they break new things…

I was dodging before the change. I don’t see a big change. I may have been grabbed a little more than before, but I had not seen there was a change. If you had not created the thread, I think I would have missed totally that they changed something. For dogs, I use the push. It works pretty good. D…

Yeah i push dogs as well nowadays. As for the muties i’ve learned to slide - it looked like in the movie - they were speeding toward me, and i was running toward them and in the final momoment i slid (absolute cinema lol). Like i’ve said - SHAME, for it made sense and it fit the hectic ambience.

I am getting caught by mutants more often now. Maybe I was getting lazy. Too reliant on their turning circle and just dodging or literally strafing with no dodge to a position I knew they couldn’t curve around to. Would be nice if it was a bug rather than my skill issue :smile:

[image] PedroPoz: Same with hounds Hounds just get magnetized, i literally saw how i stood 3 meters from their leap trajectory and still got dogged, because during leap it got glued to me. Didn’t notice much change with mutants, i mostly get grabbed because i don’t dodge and think that they …

[image] Downer: Hounds just get magnetized, i literally saw how i stood 3 meters from their leap trajectory and still got dogged Yeah i think it maybe related with servers (PING) - i have witnessed it myself. And in the past there was no problem, so they must have ^%$% sth up ;]

It’s crazy how mutants can do these hairpin turns while charging as full speed. I’ve been caught before by underestimating their ability to violate the laws of physics.
