Orkboy:
Looks like a half-blasted bot with blocks knocked off all willy-nilly.
Neko_Ali:
They did have an update a while back, shortly after I started playing that fixed those impossible builds. For a while at least. When you went into a garage it highlight anything illegally placed in red and you couldn't start a match with anything placed wrong. Obviously they figured a way around that. I think this patch was to stop the packet sniffing/code changing tricks that allowed rapid fire and aimbot hacks, among others. There were reports that they haven't been entirely fixed. But that's fairly expected. Sadly it was just poor design to let the clients handle all the data calculations with no verification from the servers. It means a smoother performance in battle, which is important. But it also makes it very easy to cheat.
Schmee:
That might explain another bug I've encountered sometimes: Occasionally, I'll lose connection to the server. Every other tank stays perfectly still, and stays that way until I self-destruct. I sometimes amuse myself by shooting at the frozen enemy robots; my crosshairs will recognise a hit, but the enemy won't take damage. After a while, I self-destruct to get back to the hangar, and I find that I've earned a moderate amount of RP - about 1500-2000 (which, in tier 5, corresponds to losing a battle after scoring a few hits but not destroying an enemy).
Does this mean that the amount of damage you do to enemies is calculated client-side?
Masterpiece:
:O if that is the case I could get SO MUCH RP
Zebediah:
I'm in too, as Zebediah. Still getting blown up a lot in Tier 1 but I'm figuring it out.
