Spider-tron legs, screenshots

I have noticed that the spidertron legs are sometimes not effected by swords. I see my sword visually hits a leg with a side swing but no damage was done. This has happened several times. On some levels a spider torn will get stuck between walls of arena and pillar. This would be ok, but the when the saw blades come by, they do no damage to the legs. That means I have to eave through blades to kill the spider, while it is shooting bombs. On another note, I liked the previous kill zone of the bombs.

how does one post screen shots?

That can definitely be frustrating when your sword appears to do damage but doesn't. Spidertron legs are supposed to be a little difficult to chop down, 6000's much more so. As far as them getting stuck, we're working diligently to "stabilize" Spidertron for the upcoming hotfix. This should prevent their odd proclivity for turning upside down, and getting stuck in general.

Thanks for the reply. I am ok with more difficultly in hitting leg. But if there was some indication that they were hit. Like for example if the hit a leg and it blocks, but does a little damage, but will not cause enough to caught off. Then if they are hit again in close proximity to that other hit, it does not block, but cuts off that location. You can extend this by using a jet pack to make it a one hit cut instead of two. You could have an area of effect on limb to show where to cut second, like a discoloration to show the damage and not a removal of blocks. The saw blades should just cut through. I watch the saws go through the same two legs over 7 times and there was no damage.

Primarily they are immune because they are designed to be a much tougher enemy than the regular combat bots. - Also, during testing it was found that by making Spidertrons immune to saw blades, performance was able to be kept in check in the later tiers of Endless Mode. - Hopefully Spidertrons will be a bit less "flighty" with the upcoming hotfix, thereby getting stuck less often in those very difficult positions; e.g. between the walls in the saw blade trap.

Oh, and for screenshots you can always just post the url, or if you are familiar with html, you can try some of the formatting buttons right above the reply text box. the <> button. It should allow you to post a picture directly to this forum using the html photo tag, I'm just not sure how to do it exactly. I've seen it done here though, if you search around I think there's a post from Erik on it. - Sorry I missed that question in my first reply.

Turns out if you just paste the url to the image itch.io will automatically embed it.
