Wraith Ex Machina against Paper Walls & Windows
Yesterday I am against a Wraith on Backwater Swamp, I am waiting on the other side of a window for the killer to either hop the window or try to run around and he swings hitting me and putting me into the injured state. Look I understand that games aren't simple to design especially a game on this level but come on he literally hit me through a wall, I wasn't in the middle of vaulting, I hadn't just vaulted it there was literally no reason why that should have happened, not even ping could explain it. I mean I would say this is the first and only time this has happened but me and my friend were testing this in a custom game, he played Hillbilly and no surprise the same exact thing happened. Look personally I and many others feel as if the developers aren't even trying to fix issues like this and they are just passing it off as either a one off glitch or bad ping. Issues like this need to be sorted sooner rather than later because it's a little annoying when you are literally hit through a wall. Also pallet and window vaulting need to be sorted because getting clonked on the back of the head by a Hillbilly when vaulting Killer Shack window, although amusing for me and my friend in a custom game can be pretty annoying if your on death hook in a regular game.

Just to clarify, are you saying that being hit through a window is the issue? Because saying that you got hit through a wall is makes it sound like two different things happened.

Well a window even if you are on the other side is still supposed to be like a wall but you can jump through it and through to the other side, if you were hit through a window it would be the same as hitting someone through a wall considering the in game tiles are the same size.

if you want a concrete answer on a problem you can't discuss the problem in abstract terms it just doesn't work that way
Survivors getting hit through windows are relatively common since dedicated servers and is slowly being addressed as servers get better and the extreme high ping situations are being addressed with hit registration, however for the foreseeable future this will stay prevalent, better find a way to deal with the annoyance from it now since its gonna stay for a while

Windows are somewhat special in that they are both a wall and open space. While you can’t walk through them, killers are allowed to attack through them. If they couldn’t, not only would it make them lose a lot of hits, it would cause problems with characters like huntress or deathslinger who can shoot through them.
There is also the fact that the survivor basically needs to be right next to the window to get hit through it, making them only likely after vaulting a window.

No, actually.
The window is still an empty space, and killers can hit through them easily. I've gotten a lot of free hits against survivors who think that they're invincible despite the fact that I'm less than a foot away.
If you know the killer is close to the window, just stay away from it.
Also, I think I might have been that Wraith. I recognize your username, and I've been playing him a lot more recently.

Right I don't think you understand me here. I didn't even vault the window nor did the killer he was on one side I was on the other so ping was not the issue, delay wasn't the issue it was down to the game being designed a certain way. If this is not a bug a developer needs to come out and say that it's not because otherwise there are only two possibilities either A the killer was hacking (which is doubtful because my friend did the same thing) or B the games designed incorrectly.

You can hit through a window, it doesn't act as a wall as long as his little arms can reach over it, even if you aren't vaulting it he can swing over the window and you can get hit over the window if you stand close enough

Once again you are missing the point. The window is an in game tile and as far as I am aware the only way you would literally be able to hit someone through a window would be if you and the survivor were directly next to it (which I still think is unfair) but the thing is I wasn't I was in the middle of one of the short corridors on Backwater Swamps house thingies (I don't know what they are called). My point is there is literally no way he should have been able to hit me.

I play with Deathslingers and windows are my favourite place to hit people with my chains. I bring them to me then hit them with M1 during that time. If you are really close to the windows open part and the killer is here any killer can injure you from there. It is not a bug or glitch ot anything else from what I known but it is in the game mechanics. I was also suprised when it happened to me first time but it is in the game so be careful with the windows.

Well the Wraith I went against was toxic as all hell despite being literally the worst Wraith I have ever gone against. I looped the poor guy for a good while until my team got to the last generator and I was knocked (this was mainly due to me getting injured on the other side of a window). I mean in my opinion anyone who is a Wraith main is probably a little bit toxic. Seriously every high rank Wraith I go against usually uses a nice anti-gen-rush build, they camp everyone on hook, they tunnel literally everyone and then as a just in case they sprinkle on some NOED for good luck. So usual Wraith build I see is Thanatophobia, Hex: Ruin, Surveillance (or Tinkerer) and Hex: No One Escapes Death. Hey maybe I am just really unlucky and go against Wraiths that like ruining the game xD.

Well in my opinion that shouldn't be happening but hey it's not like it will ever get fixed if it is a bug because I am like 90% sure the developers don't care about fixing the issues in this game. I mean matchmaking is a pretty simple concept for a game this size but still as a rank 12 Survivor I end up against a rank 5 killer and a team of rank 18-20s. But hey what do I know I am just a survivor that feels like a terrible human being every time I see a rank 20 killer against a rank 4 because this game cannot grasp the concept of matchmaking.

I still don't even know what you are claiming to be the problem
but if its getting hit while on the other side of a window while being right next to the window that has been in the game for 4.8 years so I think if it was a bug by now it would have been patched
and no bringing devs don't care doesn't make your argument suddenly right, making an actually argument against the mechanic would and even then you stood too close to a window and someone took advantage of your bad positioning so I can't see why that would be a bad mechanic that should be removed instead of just looking at it as an opportunity to play smarter

Like I said I wasn't close to the window I was not positioned right next to it he literally just hit me through a window.
