Ah hah. Any way of telling which ones are which besides trial and error? I just bought 40 of them from various vendors! This was before I tested them. Oops.

nope

Hi all,

I noticed a couple of publishes ago that the Phalange Intensification stims (they give you +10 pistol speed, have 5 uses, and drop from random NPCs) weren't even consumable, no less working. I'd click on them to use and nothing would happen -- a charge won't even get used up.

However, last night I thought I try them again. Seems that they are now consumable but when I tested them I could find no discernable effect. In order to test them I used a macro to fire several specials as fast as I can. I've tested this macro extensively to find the perfect timing for the pauses between my shots for my current total speed (+91). When I took the phalange intensification, I then bumped the pauses between shots by 1/10th of a second. This is enough to break the macro and have it get out of wack under normal circumstances. This is what happened also with the phalange intensification. So my conclusion is that they are not working. The text you see when you hover your mouse over the state produced by the phalange (the icon that appears below your HAM bars) is a little strange too. Maybe it will give some dev some clue what might be wrong.

Anyone else have experience with this? Have we bugged this? Is this worthy of adding to our list of issues? I would assume that all temporary loot ability stims are similarly broken but obviously I don't know this.

Hmm, let me do some testing on this.

pre cu ones do not work, newly dropped do.
