So I don't know who's bright idea it was too make huntress hit boxes totally ######### but reverse the damn change until you can test them in a PTB. Revert her changes now >:( test her hitboxes next time.....

    Yep I'm sure the game will die when a few killers stop playing, I mean it's not like other killers won't enjoy faster lobbies or that survivors will jump for same reason.

    Also Huntress hit boxes were buggy as heck when you could be 5 feet around a corner and she'd throw and hit you.

    You'd also as Huntress watch your axes fly right through the middle of someones back and not get a hit and then throw 3 feet right and above their head and hit their foot.

    ya well nerfing the hit box is not a fix for it

    True, but they had to do something since it was absolutely ridiculous. But once they get more hard data they can tweak it without breaking it.

    Had to do something is literally the worst way to make choices honestly...gameplay designs based on had to do something is illogical...

    Basically the devs decided to change her hatchet hitboxes and now you can’t hit ######### with them. And forget about melee hatchets survivors are immune too those. Let me say it’s not fun playing huntress now I thought the devs wanted fun? If you are gonna make changes don’t sneak them in patches....

    I'm sorry but no a major change like this goes on the PTB and patch notes the devs are stupid for doing this

    This needs to be bumped and brought to the devs' attention. She requires too much precision. If you made the old hitbox like 3/4 the size, it would honestly have been good enough to help get rid of the bs we saw as both killer and survivor. Now, though, hatchets get eaten and survivors just have to look behind them and they'll never get hit.

    What makes this even worse is they decide not only was this not worth putting in a PTB, but not even in the damn patch notes. If this is how the devs want to go about with patches, then watch as killers just keep picking Billy and Nurse.
    And if THIS is their idea of balance, I'm scared about what they'll do with the Nurse nerf. Calling it now, once Nurse gets nerfed she'll be as bad as Freddy.
  • sorrowen
    sorrowen Member Posts: 742

    I'll play spirit until they fix it or Billy/Nurse I won't be subjected too such bone headed shadow nerfs. Actually all the shadow nerfing/buffing is a bad direction for the game to be going in. Nurse no recovers from longer blinks faster...Devs you have any idea what constitutes fun? missing hatchets because of poorly designed hitboxes isn't fun,shadow nerfs aren't fun and she already has 110% movement speed. Are Devs afraid of strong killers because they want fun? If you actually want this game to be competitive you are going to have too make all killers viable. Also make it actually harsh on survivors so it takes actual skill if you wanna be a E-sport ready game up the difficulty for survivor and make killers much more powerful. Also the objective needs work because it can be done so quickly. Make Huntress good again :) reverse this hitbox change asap

  • PigNRun

    Did Devs state "Yes, we did this intentionally"? Otherwise, this could be just a glitch that came with the patch. There has been so many, I wouldnt be surprised.

  • sorrowen
    sorrowen Member Posts: 742

    I believe it was intentional but they didn't even test in PTB...because reasons?

  • MongByeolBuddies

    Ok, well reading this helps me make sense of how in the only game I played with the huntress yesterday I got my first zero K. I've been playing the game and the huntress for around a month now on the PS4 and before the reset I had gotten up to rank 9. Yesterday my hatchet throws would get so close to the survivors but miss. I couldn't hit nothin. Aiming on the PS4 is hard enough; now I've got to be pinpoint accurate? Please go back to the old hit boxes.

    McLean stated in Zubat's twitch chat that he was "95% sure the change was implemented and not put in patch notes"

  • Killigma
    Killigma Member Posts: 372

    Honestly, I am not accepting shadow nerfs in a game. It is just shady actions like this that really annoy me about developers, @not_Queen tagging you again until we get an answer on if this was intentional or not. I urge others to do the same, the lack of communication recently is beyond a joke.

    That Billy and nurse thing has started even I switched to Billy and his 1 of my back up killers

    Precision yes. But there's times she could clip in front of you or get hit you from hitting her walls. Her hatchets had  bugged boxes for and against her it seems.

    Yes, she had bs on both sides before. Now it's just bs against her.

    With the way the hitboxes are designed, every other killer seems to have little to no issues. You have to make Huntress's hatchets unique if you don't plan on changing every environment hitbox and survivor hitboxes

    Not as bad as billy, he chainsaws the air next to me, or the game will drag me to his saw if from his view he scored a hit even though I dodged last second due to latency. And the killer cone is huge lol.

    Both of these are desync issues. The actual problem is no dedicated servers. That stuff goes away when you implement dedicated servers, not adjust hitboxes to be insanely small.

    Can confirm as well. Just played Huntress for daily and they are definitely off. It's a shame because I really started to enjoy Huntress. Would love an update on this.

  • Naiad
    Naiad Member Posts: 194

    For those saying it wasn't in the patch notes. It's definitely there:

    BALANCE
    Adjusted and shortened all Killer interrupt animations
    Killers with a 4.4 m/s move speed (The Hag, The Huntress and The Spirit) now lunge at the same speed as other killers.
    Adjusted the collision surrounding the Huntress' hatchets so it is more accurate to their shape

    It's possible they might tweak it again if they feel it's still not working properly.

    I play Huntress and I can confirm the hitboxes suck now. Before it sucked because they would hit invisible walls and stuff, but now it's just a mess. My hatchets should clearly hit and they miss it's quite annoying. I play the day before the patch and had no issue landing hatchets. Now I will get lucky if I hit 1 in 5. The frame rate issues on console don't help either.

    This needs upvoted. This needs to be brought to the devs attention even if Queen already mentioned that they are aware of this. This is so stupid we have to deal with these kinds of nerfs.
