Re: The Ghosts of Firing Range

I didn't notice the zipline thing, but thanks for conforming thay their was a damaged dummy. Couple days back I was about to go crazy I was sure I didn't shoot it but it was damaged already.

I saw a random explosion couple of times and once my character shouted a warning of a grenade.

As we all now the firing range is not played locally like the training, but actually you wait for a matchmaking a server and a lobby to load. So maybe sometimes other people games overlap with yours.

@Zeues-1992Training isn't local either. Damage numbers appear much later when connected to a high ping server, which strongly suggests that damage confirmation comes from the server. Also, training and firing range need to be tracked as well, it' essential for addressing issues.

The firing range is actually the training grounds, with some modifications. It's just that they didn't take all situations into account. Maybe they rushed it out a little, to release it together with duos.

I was hoping to find here a spooky ghost story, but oh well.
I noticed some weird explosions after EMPing with the crypto.
Not sure what it was but I know it is getting tracked.

@DoYaSeeMe I don't think training grounds are hosted on server. I live in middle easy and play in 100-120 ping all the time I will know if their is any kind if delay, plus the server load much faster than firing ground.

@Zeues-1992 Of course it loads much faster, the map is smaller, there are no skins to load, a lot less loot which is not even randomized.

Try connecting to a server that's 350ms +. When shooting targets in training, you will probably notice the numbers appearing with a significant delay.

No ghost ziplines but definitely random explosions that had me do a double take at least 12 times

Late but this is relevant:
Today while I was training, I suddenly got hit by Rev's Q and couldn't use my abilities. Now I'm curious how the training range really works.
