Thread: New Battle Droid Equipment: Lightsabers
Message Edited by Banthabutcher on 09-01-2004 12:13 AM
I was in a raid of the bunker last night. There were 11 of us. We were in the room with the broken shuttle and broken speeder.......... We were fighting two SBD's a DeathWatch and aBattledroid. The BD walked up initially with a T21 equipped and used Strafe Shot 2, 2 times.......... and both shots went right through our armor it was nice to see everyone's health drop to almost nothing in two shots.
We healed and the BD got close enough to switch to melee thank heaven and we recovered to press on further.
So it happened to me again also. It may just be me because I'm always "in the $hit" but that makes several times now. In groups and alone that this has happened.
I'm sure it will be fixed around the time the combat balance comes out in 2007
// snipped piece of code
while(true){
srand(static_cast(time(0)));
if(rand()%2==1){
armorHole = true;
else
armorHole = false;
}

The droids arent bypassing armor, they're just using 1000dmg+ rated weapons (/open them and take a look) and spamming specials. With a T21 for example, 1000dmg x 6x modifier = 6k dmg = at least 1500dmg getting through after armor/resists. I've been strafed for over 13k dmg, its not bypassing armor, its just called ridiculious damage outputs.
Okay several things you guys are missing:
No we weren't using the damn armor exploit trick
Yes some NPC's do bypass armor on some attacks. They not only bypass armor food, toughness, and armor. You can tell because when you use damage reduction food it will say something like this in your combat log.:" #### has been mitigated by defenses". I always keep my combat log open and I always use either syntha steak or protein wafers. Yes there is a bug and no it's not the damage output. When the bug hits no damage reduction takes place at all. So no it's not ridiculous damage outputs
