Why do I always listen to the roumors? Armour is working perfectly. Dont believe the hype.

Ubese Jacket

full hits 62

absorb 27

miss 11

Test 2: 100 attacks

I think the data shows that those people "giving conflicting reports that 2 and 1 piece suits may be still working in the CU" are just not doing the math right. A sample size of 100 attacks is the minimum before you should get those poor armorsmith freakin.

Next time those people should present their conflicting data in advance before sending us into hours of needless testing.

Great testing! It is often difficult to know where to spend time when we are told "armor isn't working", solid data often helps us narrow down the problem much quicker. Hands and feet should be the only non hit locations left, I hear even clothing is currently taking decay so a good way to check would be to see if boots and gloves are taking condition decay.

The old head shot body shot leg shot became specific targeted attacks. So the head shot should always hit the helmet location, leg shot the leg location,and body shot the chest location. Using them in tests will skew data. Ranged shot should hit a random location.

This is some tremendous testing here. However, ubese armor does not have any biceps(unless I'm mistaken). Does this mean that biceps are extraneous after the CU?

I don't mean to cause anyone more unnecessary testing, but are we sure that its not a specific type (or types) of armour that we are getting these reports for? Be in Battle/Assualt/Recon or Comp/Tantel/Hunting etc etc
