Pallet Hits

I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets downed after vaulting a pallet and I know for a fact that I'm already more than half way across the pallet but I still get hit.
Is this a ping issue? Messed up hit boxes? I try to stay in lobbies where my ping is not too high. But sometimes I literally get hit from across the pallet while vaulting. If I were to slow it down you can see that the killer's weapon doesn't even touch my character lol.

    Hitbox. Seriously they need fixes desperately.

    I've not encountered this myself, so it's more than likely a ping issue. (Unless you are on PTB, because I haven't gotten to play it yet.)

    I think it's more a ping issue. Or a bug. Often enough hitboxes at pallets and vaults work perfectly fine. Just on occasion there are some weird hits that shouldn't connect. At least for me.
    Also never forget that killers have arms. It's only reasonable if they hit you while you are half a cross a pallet.

    Disclaimer: I haven't played the PTB. However, I watched a bit of Ardetha's stream about the PTB. He seemed to comment how he had actually been pushed out of the pallet a bit when swinging through a pallet. Maybe pallets will get a little buff with the next update.

    Can the devs readjust the killer hitbox for pallets? Multiple times I haven't even turned the corner fully and I still get stuck.

    They are weird as hell on the survivor side but look normal on the killer side. Now to the point, if the killers weapon isn't even near you, with a full lunge and it somehow hits, how the flip is that reasonable. It's not. Killer mains don't complain about it because it's in their favour.

    This. If the weapon didn't touch you why does it connect? Also I'm not saying this happens often but it's just annoying to go down when you know you should've been able to make it to the other side of the pallet.

    On another note I got hit by a hatchet from around a corner/through a wall before and even the guy that was playing he huntress said that the hit boxes are #########. Maybe the dedicated servers will fix these issues who knows?

    Majority of the time, its lag. The hit boxes are a bit off and do need to be looked at. I would say once we get dedicated servers, a lot of that will be corrected.

    I get down for throwing the pallet and the killer hitting the pallet when it hits the ground then suffering the stun 2 seconds later after hitting me actually through the pallet, does that count?

    I think Pallets are bugged in more ways than that.
    I just had a Pallet go down with my nose in the hitbox, but didn't get stunned.
    I've gotten stunned at way further distances than that...

    If you really want to know if it's ping or not you need to pc in kyf playing in LAN together I guess
