Sweet Mother Mary! That thing hit you like 10 times in less than a second!?!? Plus hit others at same time? Is it an Area of Effect attack *wonders what AoE means?* that is hitting you like that?


After seeing those pics, I am rethinking CQB in here.

I posted this in the TKA forum, but I think it affects all melee-types, especially those working with groups:

I'm just posting the link in the 3 melee professions I'm involved in, in the hopes that if people who are aware of this problem can speak up about it, the devs can fix it.


Thanks!

Thanks!

i havent experienced it happening to me, but i have noticed i have been using domination (area attack3 for swordsman) and have instead of the damage hitting multiple targets, it stacks directly on one creature which causes it to die pretty fast... i have done this with fambaa, and rancor a couple times. it's really strange when you run into a pack of four rancor using warcry to stall them before you go in, to save a friend that is being swarmed, and using area attack 3, you kill one of the rancor in one attack and have to switch to another and start using area attack 3 again because it stacked all the damage onto one creature. it doesnt happen often, but it happens. and if what i said up there is kind of incoherent, i just woke up, and am tired.

yep, i was in a circle of dead gurrecks, lvl for the def mods in sword and noticed the same thing. I think it also happened when I was in pike. But if I remember right in Pike, al the mobs took insane damage. I didnt know what was going on but it seemed nice.

This took me down from the fully buffed and powerboosted status of around 3k ham to zilch, both times.

And you can see it happened on 2 separate occasions, so it's not even all that rare.

It's happened to me before, when I was the damage dealer. Occasionally, when I use Spin Attack 2, it focuses on one creature/player. So it's not just NPC's that can do this.

Saw a post that the AoE bug may be back or it just never went away.


Need some hard info on what is occuring so I can bring it up. Let me know what your primary target was, what special you were using, and how many targets were not taking damage. Also let me know if once it occurs it keep happening until you clear the que or if it just comes and goes.


For example it happened to me today. Primary target was a lair, using FlushingShot2, secondary target (Skreeg) that was in melee with me at the time took no damage.

its all aoe attacks, not just rifle


strafe2, rancors 6 of them. it would not stop attacking one that was about to die. could not peace out. switched to stun baton. my graphics shows that i am holding a stun baton, but i was still strafing for about 20 secs.


fencer spin 2 attack. same things rancors. 8 of them. it would not stop attacking one that was about to die. could not peace out, switch weapons don't work


it seems that the bug occurs when a aoe attacks fails to kill a target before the starts to run away. it looks like you are attacking the creature which is a few meters away and you are doing thousand of damage, but its not getting killed, that ham bars are no dropping. next the creatures warps 150 meters away.


however if you aoe attack with strafe for example and get the creature down to a little health and the strafe hits with health and kills it before it runs away, there is no bug.

I see this bug occur pretty frequently, but my targets all seem to aggro me fairly quickly if I don't try to stop them. At that point, the AoEs work just fine. For the first few shots though, some of them are taking 0 damage.


And this isn't the exact same bug, but they are tied together I think- why do people always stress no AoEs in the Corvette and/or DWB? I don't think that it's by design that some of the cone 'magically' goes through certain little 'holes' in the wall.


Though not AoE specific,the 150 meter warping CharPrime mentioned is a huge pain. I guess it's better that they warp away from us now instead of towards, but still...

I had the same problem occur a couple of times on dantooine hunting jantas and mokks. It kept attacking and I wasn't pressing the strafe2 shot button. I don't think its just linked to AoEs cause a took a friend of mine shaman hunting and he used a stim one time and he then couldn't stop using them. He wasted an entire pack of stim Bs. He tried peacing out and everything to stop it but to no avail.
