- We're not talking about his lock on range, we're talking about the hit box for thrust surge. His hit box detection is too large and if u watched the clip u can see why. I shouldn't be expected to dodge or evade any ability when I'm that far away or especially when I'm above him like I am in that clip
@HomerSpinson I've seen your clip and actually been on the other side of that one. On my screen it never looks like it did in that video. Probably one of those things having to do with connection and ping (mentioned in a previous post). Anyways, on my screen that lunge would take me right to your chest although, like the grievous in your video, I would get stuck on the ledge as only half of my body would be in the window and fall back down (just like in the video). So I'm not really suprised or sure this is an issue. Grievous can thrust anywhere his cursor is so if you stand up on top of a ledge with your full body exposed of course he will thrust on you. It was the ledge that saved your life. You should try playing with grievous yourself and you will see it takes more skill than you'd think.
@level_9_player have you actually watched the clip @HomerSpinson posted? Grievous targets another player and because his hit box is so large it knocks Han down aswell. The hit box should only affect a small area of the player targeted and not someone who's nowhere near him...
Yes Grievous thrust surge targets Luke down below me and because the area of the hit box is so big it knocks me down giving me damage from above. This should not happen unless DICE meant it to be anyone in a certain ratio of someone who gets hit by the surge also gets affected somehow. Before the rise of Skywalker update I could be standing right beside someone being hit by his surge and not be knocked to the ground taking damage unless I've be really lucky and all this time was supposed to
@HomerSpinson THANK YOU! I havent had an example quite as perfect as the one you posted. All the videos I have look questionably related to ping, or other hocus pocus. Now I definitely need to find my clips I saved of getting hit in the air, and other GG hit boxes.
Very excited to see people talking about this! I was beginning to think I was just cursed. The main issue I was trying to address is both attacks AND abilities that are hitting when they otherwise shouldnt. I didn't intend for this to turn into a General Grievous (GG) discussion, but frankly, he IS the Villain that has the most hit box issues.
I enjoy playing with GG. He is an absolute power house and can clear a room... but its silly how easily you can make any of his abilities land a hit. Yoda/Luke, meanwhile, can't even get a successful push off when the target is literally not blocking and facing the other way (bug).... Thrust Surge difficult??? Please... you just need to pick a target. Timing is key, absolutely, with any ability or attack, but anyone can stand around blocking & waiting for the right moment to hit L1/R1.
GG doesn't need a nerf, he just needs to operate logically, instead of having these incredibly unreasonable hit boxes. Claw Rush SHOULD be easy to avoid. Hes running away like a coward (reference all the times he scurried away in clone wars), taking people out on his way. A simple jump would easily keep you safe. Even when you DO evade to the side successfully, and are an impressive distance away from GG, there are time you STILL get hit by claw rush. I think it should absolutely break blocks though.
@j0nnybrav0b3n705 no problem! And I agree with everything u said
Still just annoying as ever... ridiculous thrust surge examples (examples I feel should have simply refunded his ability):

Its just silly. As much work went into the aesthetics of the game, I would imagine seeing Yoda flying out of nowhere, and GG attacking literally nothing clear across the room.... would be a red flag!
It could even be part of the immersion/player experience. If GG misses, have him complain. Lets add some more banter for heroes (the last addition of voice lines was wonderful, and something as simple as that made the game feel fresh). I would rather hear GG say something sassy after he misses rather than be sent flying across the map by a ghost...
Not sure where to put this so I'll just put it here for now, @EA_Barry look at how bad the hit box for saber strikes has now got. It could well be the server but this is the worst I've seen it and it's happening to me after that last patch. I'm being hit so far away a lot now since that last update where as before it was rare and not that far away, every saber character seem to have 20 foot invisible sabers, as if it wasn't hard enough being a blaster character (I know I'm Palpatine in the clip but it's the same for blasters)
Hitbox is at its worst state for me. I'm being hit by sabers a mile away (look at screenshot, Luke is actually on top of the stairs!!) then if I hit someone from behind there's no registration???? Never seen such poor hitbox registration ever
