Mechano-hog/Chopper nerf?

Why have our bikes been nerfed? Sure we can kick people out of it now but the fall distance thing...we take damage and so does the passanger now.

This can't be fair surely? It was quite fun jumping off of high places with someone but now we can't do that; now it's just a normal mount with an extra seat in it which doesn't feel worth the 12'500g + mats anymore.

Is this intentional or something? It's not in the patch notes nor can I find information about this change.

Except an announcement we made way back in December... but anyhow.

Yes it is intentional. What wasn't intentional was that people would use vehicle mounts in a way other than normal mounts. This has now been resolved. Though I feel for your loss, these mounts really weren't intended to be used in that way.

As we said back in December, the fix was most likely coming in 3.1 and it did. If it had been a quick fix and with a higher priority, I imagine it would have come a lot sooner.
