Ok, so its what was happening to elemental at first? Shows damage in combat spam, but no actual damage is being done? And its showing 100% AoE via the combat spam?
Sorry folks, won't be able to get into the game (or TC) till Friday or this weekend...been super super busy with RL and will be for another week (or half), which explains why I haven't been *as* active as I usually am.
Anyways, if thats the case...I got a good feeling about our AoE. Elemental was being quirky like this, and was fixed within a day or 3....

It is NOT working. I just tested it, and while damage was SHOWN in the combatwindow, no actual damage was done.
These are the same findings as on test center.
Ditto... sporadic and still not a slam of power from our weapons. The sporadic hits are less than I can do with unarmed 2 and the Dev's can smoke my flamer if they call that balanced.

As far as I can tell, the AoE spam seems to hit everything in the AoE, but no actual damage is being done. Furthermore, the damage done to the primary target is actually less than the erroneous combat spam because the combat spam shows energy + elemental, but the elemental truly isn't added.
Seeing elemental damage fixed might just MAYBE bring Commando closer to a 5 in damage output.

Nay, no fix on AoE. I see the intention of elemental for the splash but elemental is still broken so no AOE damage.

The only AoE damage shown in the combat spam is the elemental damage. There seems to be 0% AoE normal (non-elemental) damage.

No, I seriously believe you. Other players seem to have a hunch that it works right after server resets. Shame that it doesn't last very long.

in my opinion AOE is NOT working. a rocket launcher has a blast radius of 6 meters, but i can fire it into a crowd and hit 1 guy.
if i flame a crowd, my target takes a full strike, but the rest of the crowd only takes the 100 or so elemental damage my flamer does. and some of them dont even light.
but who cares!

AoE funcionality is speratic at best.
I have gotten it only to work once or twice, both on kashikee.
Once in the hunting challange in the special hunting place, helped me alot with beating it quite fast.
And another when I was just hunting on the regular planet.
This is damage to there bars, not combat log spam.
Dun remember how much damage was done, but it was quite a bit.

I just noticed something really bad...

While the AE damage is fixed, look at how elemental damage is applied. It's not affected by the modifier for adv. critical shot. At all. 
It's simply added on after the special is used. This does not bode well at all.

Perhaps the fix to elemental IS the fix to AoE. I don't think that we really know.
