harpoons having troubles hitting everything small now

i just tried survival misty on nightmare mixmode and harpoons are having problems hitting spiders goblins, and kobolds. please try to fix this asap

yeah they cant even hit skeletons even though the arrows are going right threw them.

also true

good find was just about to post this, but noticed they already changed the collision height and submitted patch for C, then found this post. gj

omg wtf they have done? the harpoons don't hit NEVER...i've try umf NH 5 minutes ago and I could not believe my eyes...eight harpoons, firing a single spider without EVER hit .....jesus crist umbelievable :-/

Not only can they not hit spiders or goblins, or skellies, but they still TRY to and will stick like glue. And bowling balls can't go up hill so no alternative (until app towers are buffed)

Upcoming Patch 7.17c

* Harpoon Projectile Collision Height restored to previous value

Jesus....FACEPALM :-/

I hope they try the patch before release , but it seems no

LOL I was realling wondering if I'm doing some mistake in my harpoon placement on Misty...Goddamn "goblins" screwed me me over right on wave 2 ._. :/
Good to know it's being fixed...gosh :| !!!

Was this done on purpose to force us to use Apprentice towers for some thing? :|

was clearly accidental seeming they already fixed it. they already submitted 7.17c to valve

Are you telling me not a SINGLE PERSON tested this patch before they released it? What's the point of the beta-group then?

This is ridiculous.

Agreed, really guys...test something?

well i'm glad it doesn't cost $40,000 to release a patch on pc like it does on console or trendy would be broke by now.

Well at least then if they did release a patch, I doubt we'd need to worry about bugs.

ive always had problems with harpoons hitting smaller enemies, and that was mainly why i never used them. i tried misty today with a squire build, and with 500ish in 3 tower stats, and 400 to range, it was incredibly more easy than with app towers with 900 dmg/spd and 600 hp/rng.

to counter this issue though, i just dropped an MM tower at each location, since i had 30 DU to spare with everything set up.

Ever think about there being more to beta testing than just submitting bugs ?

You know, it does take a dev to fix a bug when its submitted too ....

Oh, I know that, and I don't mean to place blame on the wrong people, I'm just saying, why wasn't this patch tested in a couple games before shipping off? It couldn't have taken that long.

There are a variety of test methods. Trendy is trying to provide some good updates every week. This patch attempt was to slightly improve harpoon towers, and they tested the variables and got it to work, they tested it in general probably to be sure the code would run. Then they probably tested it on what they intended it to do, so they had orcs going up and down stairs and wyverns flying.

Which meant it would hit the orcs, and the wyverns, but they didn't test it on every creature. Which they sort of don't have time to do. Still, the moment they ran it, and then they played with it, and other's played with it, they saw the problem.

They quickly figured out what variable was wrong and fixed it. Don't complain that they didn't test, they did test. They just couldn't test for everything and something slipped by.

Be glad that they are able to do fixes like this and pay attention. If it was a blizzard or valve game, we might have had to wait at least a week before they fix small mistakes like this.

TE last few patches actually broke the Harpoon Turrets more than they fixed them.

TE please bugfix the 7.17c patch as far as the harpoon towers go...

Yay for quality control. Wait, what is that?

Even with the latest patch Harpoon Towers still completely S U C K at attacking anything smaller than an Orc.

TE please fix this accursed tower already!
