Thread: FullAutoArea2 broken?

I use FullAutoArea2 on occasion. I used it hunting as recently as last night and the night before.


The night before, it worked like intended. Hitting multiple targets in my radius, and displaying +Miss+ occasionally on some critters.


Last night, I would only hit the one that I had targeted. Never saw any hits on the othercritters in range and radius. Never saw +Miss+ on any of them either. Was this broken with yesterday's hotfix?

Not broken. 10 stormtroopers down in 45 seconds last night. Very much working.

Maybe something's going on with Naritus then. I had flaky stuff off and on last night.


I will say that I was doing the exact same stuff as I was from the previous night and there was definitely something wrong with it last night. I tried various things and none worked: point blank/40m/60m... nothing. laser/nym's/E11... nothing.

There is another possibility. I have had that happen when I am targetting a mob in the middle of the group. Only mobs beyond it would be affected, the mobs closer would not be affected. Maybe this was it?

I wouldn't rule that out as a possibility


I'll try it again tonight, but you'd think with various weapon/distance combinations I tried I'd have met that requirement at least once. Thanks for the info.

Well, it is a cone AE special.

It worked fine for me yesterday though.

It would be interesting to find out if that cone isn't calculated from the point of the target back, rather than from the shooter's position out.

Worked for me last night. But the UI wasn't showing any stat effects.

Rofl!!!.....I hear you.......there is nothing like spamming this with charge shot 2 while being buffed and watching the stormtroopers get shot up all around in front of you!

I had the 'miss' problem once too. But then the critter moved from behind the log from which it was hiding and I began to hit. I think they fixed the line of sight problem with area attacks by simply making you miss them. This sounds kinda like the problem your describing in your first description. Not sure about the second part, bug maybe.
