Did aliens have carapace at that stage? Cause it looked like you didn't even have any weapons upgrades. Plus your shots were hitting the hive part of the time.

I have no idea if they had carapace. This was 3:30 into the match, so unless they rushed it i have no idea. The hive was just dropped when i ran in there, you can see it pop up and you hear the sound from the drop,
Then you see hive blood squirting out of nowhere on the backside of the hive.

Why are you even on these forums breasthound? You quit NS years ago.
And no i didn't miss the majority of my shots, look again try again. The unbuilt hive collision model has an invisible barrier underneath it apparently and you can't shoot anything.

Welcome to NS2. Did you notice most your bullets hitting invisible troll barriers on the railings too?

So basically I got trolled by a part of the map and invisible hive force fields...awesome
Fun video, gorge most likely had carapace, or hitboxes near hive were super wonky. Even with carapace that amount of shots should bring a gorge very close to death. Gorge wasn't even trying to dodge much. :)
EDIT: Oh wait, they were building a hive lol. So they didn't have carapace, you can't afford it so soon with 2nd hive. Okay, a bit strange he didn't die. Usually it's 1 LMG clip and a few well aimed pistol shots. Even if you take time to reload LMG, gorge self healing isnt fast enough to save him from getting killed.
If aliens had carapace, that gorge was probably on like 10-15% hp and your shots after the first clip were mostly hitting the hive. If aliens didn't have carapace the first clip should have killed it and it was just bad hitboxes.
ok so you need 29 bullets (1.554 seconds of constant fire, if you ignore cooldown for the first bullet) to kill a gorge, 45 if he has carapace (2.442s). but this is assuming all bullets hit and he is not regenerating / healing inbetween. still, rather odd indeed.

Yeah the collisions are messed up, best thing to do is just charge up to the gorge and not shoot by under the hive, that way you'll usually always get the kill.
You were shooting the hitbox of a grown hive even though it looked like you were shooting the gorge. The hitbox is just a place holder until a new one is created for an ungrown hive. Frustrating, but now you know to look out for it. Its the unfortunate reality of playing a beta.

He was healing him self and also its a game with a lot of improvemnt that still need to be done so you shpuld chill and relax a bit and not get too stressed at trivial things like this.

The devs are actually doing a pass on the collision hulls of certain troublesome props. And I just checked, the hive's hitbox has been added to the bug reports as well :)

Therefore you shouldn't be surprised shooting a gorge that's healing by himself and the hive, doesn't die.
it doesn't heal.
Plus your shots were hitting the hive part of the time.

edit: did the server have any balance mods?

edit: also there was no weapons upgrades...so yeah
-> the hive hitbox does not dynamically follow it's 'growing' animation, instead it has a fully grown hitbox the moment it's dropped.
-> mostly all of his shots when near the hive, hit the hive, not the gorge <-
-> this is something that needs to be looked at eventually offcourse, allthough I find it understandable that this is not a #1 priority for UWE atm.
so.... his rage is understandable, but it has nothing to do with the gorge health...
can we put this aside now? live happily everafter?
What i got from this: Alien unbuilt hive needs a new hitbox.
not "this guy can't aim".
This is generaly why atrium is so ferking hard to take without gls or arcs. half the props in there have their hitboxes elsewhere :/
