Log in. AoE working. Figure its acting normal and will diminish the moment I swap weapons. Swapped to LBC, still working. Hmm. Swapped to my Blackscale acid launcher...typical AoE bug. I'm like aha and swap back to the flamer...AoE still working on the flamer. Hmm. So I try one last thing, I zone. Result: AoE broke for all weapons agian.
Final synopsis: Blackscale Acid launcher may prove to be a bug should AoE ever be fixed but al in all nothing changed. Move along.

Ok, so I'm hunting on dant right now and I am checking my combat spam. I am doing a whopping 54 AoE damage. This ain't elemental +1 anymore. I don't have my calc so I can't check it out right now, but my elemental is 97. Weird huh?

Don't forget to take armor into consideration. It affects elemental damage too.

Ah yes, that must be it....I hope.

First off, I can't recall ever getting working AoE with anything but the PFT or LBC. As for those it seems like each physical server only works for the first certain number of AoE attacks done within that servers boundaries. My houses are in a very out of the way spot and it seems that I can almost always get AoE working for 5-20 minutes there regardless of where I was before or if AoE worked in that other spot.
As an aside, maybe we should convince the devs to make our AoE weapons do entirely elemental damage since they seem to have gotten that coding correct...

Unless I'm missing something fundamental here, that sounds like a great idea. Say, triple the elemental damage on commando weapons? That would bring them up to good damage levels and have at least reasonable AoE.

Hell, that is a good idea. I mean, the PFT isn't doing 'energy' damage. IT'S BURNING YOU! "OW FIRE!" That means heat, which would need more elemental damage to actually make it logical.
Ok, so maybe I didn't make too much sense there, but making them do mainly elemental damage is a good idea. Then, if someone is wearing armor designed for taking the brunt of a PFT, pull out your LBC and let them get a nice jolt, OR, if they also have that modded, pull out your acid launcher and burn them chemically. HEY! I like where this is going!
Ok, StarNick, new job for you in this thread, tell us the flaws so we DON'T get our hopes up.

I can already tell you the flaw: Unlike energy/kinetic damage, Elemental damage is not lowered against PCs. We would likely turn into the gods of death, destruction and mayhem on the battlefield and all the little jedi would cry. We'd turn into FotM again the galaxy would be overrun with commandos (what kind of twisted universe would be overrun with soldiers during an interplanetary war-really we can't be that unrealistic). This would further disrupt the jedi war and the jedi would cry foul even more.
