I didn't see any mention of this on the patch notes, but ever since the maint, when puppies shoot, the bullets start off at a significant distance in front of them, rather than at their mouth like usual (about 2/3 blocks). The damage doesn't seem to be higher, and although the distance is large enough for you to stand in between the puppy and the bullet start point, you still get injured when they shoot. This has also made bombing the puppies seemingly impossible w/o using RSS since you can't get close enough to plant a bomb w/o being autohit by a bullet spawning in your face.

I've not seen any mention of this in the forums so it seems like no one else is bothered surprised about this, but I saw no mention of it in the patch notes and can't think of any reason or logic as to why they would be made this much senselessly harder/weird.

TL;DR: puppy bullets' starting point is WAY farther out from the puppy's mouths than normal, no mention on patch notes.

I thought a puppy had super range on RJP 10 seconds ago, but didnt notice anything else, since my clients has 10x lag after every patch.

My initial thought was that

My initial thought was that it was server/gfx lag, but my gf came up and immediately noticed it too, then realised that standing a distance away, the bullets hit you exactly in time, so the bullets are were they should be, in terms of taking damage and positioning, but it makes no sense that they're spawning so much farther out.

I should note that I am in the JK gate right now, if this is some kind of bug and restricted only to certain gates or somethin'.

edit: just noticed that jelly puppies are not affected by this issue

lol, it happened again, but i don't see it all the time. I'm not 100% convinced it isnt lag.
Shall we move this to bug reports?

Here to back up the claim on IMF's God Puppies and their ability to spawn energy in front of them. It made strafing around them a big pain.

We noticed the same in the bullet hell DR.
It's annoying and we almost wiped due to this strange behaviour.

Any good reason why this was changed?

It's certainly a lot more difficult when trying to combo the puppies. Sure hope this is a just a bug on the Developers part.
