Tribes: Ascend - Hitboxes in v1.0.941.0

This video shows some problems with hitboxes for projectile based guns (not projectile weapons in general).

[@zserv]

This seems less like a hitbox problem and more of a bloom problem.

[@kiwininja100]

then hit-scans would be removed because it would be impossible to hit anything

[@OtsdarvaOS]

Making this a bigger deal then it is.

[@DireZealot]

In the future, guns are magic (duh).

[@clockneko]

So it's not the plasma gun, but all bullet based guns, and the plasma uses the same hitbox they do?

[@RenegadeFury]

tribes is based around ctf so this isn't really a problem

[@Shaeress]

Not much at that range.

[@xiXequinoxXix]

So you can use projectile weapons and have to take into account their speed, your speed, and projectile velocity AND be 100% precise. Or you can use hitscan weapons that dont even require you to scan onto the target? Then the plasma is obviously broken, but more because of its firerate + dmg, but also has broken hitbox... f2p has become pay to win

[@DuckieMcduck]

Headshots do aproximately 1.3x times more damage. They're not very.. relevant.

[@Riddla26]

Plasma gun is projectile, not bullet. Projectiles are screwed though. WTF HiRez, get it together :|

[@CapnYousef]

Aren't weapons like the AR supposed to have spread?
