Thread: Flame DOT PVP bug with a recent update
I'll probably get 1 starred and flamed for this, seeing as how 80% of commandos seem to think they are kamikaze pilots in pvp anyway...
I consider it a major glitch, after you get flame DOT incapped in pvp you have NO BREAK when you get up- its like, 1 second BOOM then 400 damage. Previously you had 30 seconds to run and find a medic or find water before the flames set in again. This puts characters with no medic skills at a SEVERE disadvantage.
The reason this is stupid and I think it is a mistake is the only timeI have noticed that it happens is after I've already killedthe commando and/or group of people that attackedme sothey cant incap me personally--he doesnt reap the faction point benefit of deathblowing you when this obnoxious phenomenon of a triple incap sets in. Its like I lose-you lose-we all lose.
There needs to be some sort of antidote to flames now or else they need to change it back to the way it was.. I'd be fine with them changing it back.
Otherwise, I may have to investin a few crates of tatooine sunburn... even then though the damage over time comes so fast, the buff will not have time to take full effect
major bug. want to draw it to attention. flame away.

in real life i would stop drop and roll or find a fire extinguisher etc..
this isnt real life though- this is a system and sometime it has flaws.
Well, you heard it Devs, he's looking for a
/stopdropandrole
command

Hmmmm... tough choice, PvP and fuss about the power of a commando? Or do I play it smart and do what SOE wanted in placing streams close by? Find a pool of water and make us use secondary skills.
But I agree with you, the fire dot should get a 30 second stop-timer after an incap.
in real life i would stop drop and roll or find a fire extinguisher etc..
Ok so you are hit with a sticky flamable liquid and you THINK that stop drop and roll will make you into something OTHER than a torch still? If you were carrying a fire extinguisher and I hit you with this stuff that baby is gonna soo pop soon after and do MORE damage to you then even I did...um yeah go for it I ened a laugh.
Man guy gets hit by basically napalm and he thinks he can just stop drop and roll LOL
and after Incap? yeah I suppose but if we actually HURT you don't we deserve to keep you off us for awhile? TK's just knock you down and YOU WILL DIE... and we are lucky that we hit you at all heh
Before the last bigpatch, every burn, disease, bleed and poison had a lil thing called "incap immunity".
If it incapped you, you had a short period of immunity to the bleed, burn, disease or poison.
This is now gone...I found out after a friendly duel with a friend..where she didnt even manage to run to the water 5m away before 3 incaps and death.
This immunity needs to be reinstated for burn at least.(since diseases and poisons now stop at 1 ham, thus not incapping you)
As a commando, I cannot any longer do friendly duels..unless I use my HAR and its 18 second "cooldown"....if I burn them..they die..![]()
Just a thought for non-medic personel.... you might want to invest in your local chef. Flameouts (funny name eh?) work wonders for dealing with a flame burn. Adds roughly 2000 health for about 5 minutes usually. Personally I find that is well more than enough for me to get away and heal. There are also several other alternative foods, such as thakatillo that adds to health strength and constitution.
I once had time to
/stop
/drop
/roll
before flames killed me, it doesn't work, trust me.
lol 2 things i must make known
1 heaking when on fire makes burn tic 87% of the time so if your heald from incap it makes burntic and you are reincaped belive me its just better not to heal this was done in last pach tho most commandos still havent realized it nore most ppl
2 master chafs can make a new food called flam out i belive (not sure of name ) that puts fire out wierd huh but it works i have seen it used about 20 times now
so i hope this helps you out
and yes i agree after 2 end incap it should stop burning and if you were dueling after duel end it should stop tho it might not be realistic it would help alot with the grifing/nerf screeeming of commando s
I didn't bother reading the rest of the post but, I might argee to a slight delay. Not your 30 seconds but a delay none the less.(5-15 seconds) . Also leave the wounded damg, I love it.
