Pistoleer Archive

Grats to the devs..

As of today, fanshot's Area shot is bugged. It will tell you that it hit the 5 mobs and get you the agro, but your target is the only one who loose hp..

Well, at least we Master Pistoleers had a shot workingfor a few days that amazied people.Thx for bringing us that joy

Back to using the super Smugler pistol specials again. Atleast they have 3 shots that rock the world.

Onequestion...Should Ijoin 80% of my friends and take a 6 month off this game and return when things actually works for aMaster XXXX ?

Im a SW geek, so I bet I will stay untill im the new Adam on naritus with all the animals around me, searching for a female to start over themankind.

Before you respond and telling me that it works, go outside a city, find a bunch of lowlvl mobs in a group.

Give em one fanshot, peace. See how many mobs got hit, and count the agro, and tell me if you also only have one hit mob. Your dmg-report tells you something different.

ive just gone outside mos taike hit a group of desert eopies to test what you said

I hit all eopies with 1 shot knocking 1265 of each creature

But when I hit a npc it only hit 1 instead of the lot

Weird??

From my experience, fanshot *is* working, but its working weird. 9 times out of 10 it will hit all the mobs and display the damage done to them. However, it will on occassion "bug". This bug, by the way, works 100% of the time against creature lairs.

This is what its doing:

Sometimes its hitting all themobs(or lair)and damaging them but its not displaying it. It only displays on the mob you have targeted. If you then shoot one of the other targets, it will hit for what appears to be massive accelerated damage....in fact, what its doing is that shot is doing the damage its supposed to *and* taking off all the accumulated damage from your fan shots either at once, or very quickly.

Also, if anyone else hits the mob/lair insted of you, it will also finally display the damage done. Of other interesting note, if this bug occurs, the damage you did is there, but the mob itself will not die until directly targetted and hit and the damage displays.

So when it happens, from what I've been able to tell, you are doing damage to them all, its just that damage won't register until the mob is specifically targeted and hit by anything.

So yeah, it is bugged at times, but not as badly as you thought.

BTW...when this bug does happen, any damage you dealt that does not show until the mob is specifically targeted and attacked is still credited to you. So if you are in a group or whatever and this bug occurs, then someone else shoots the mob you were targeting causing their health to drop rapidly as your accumulated fan shot damage displays, that person is still only credited for the real damage they dealt, all the rest is still credited to you.

So, this does not effect experience in any way. The only real danger when this bug occurs seems to be the whole "won't die until specifically targeted and hit" thing. Everything else, while not displaying properly if it bugs, seems to be working fine, you just aren't seeing it.

from what i can tell fan shoty hits all targets that are in combat, so if i have 1 targeted it will always hit the one targeted and agrro the rest, but if they are all in combat it will dmg all of them.

From what I understand, the bug is that when you take the first shot, only your target is damaged. Every shot after the first one hits all other NPC's in the area.

This isn't just fanshot. It's all AE abilities. I noticed this with panicshot way before the patch. Best way to describe it is if doesn't already have an aggro flag of some sort and its not your main target it probably wont take damage even tho in combat spam it says it gets hit.

Yes, thats true. All AE work right now so that the first shot aggros on your, and the second shot will do actual damage. Thats also true for Panic shot.. it is almost allways the second shot that delays everyone for 10 sec, except when its resisted.

Its the same bug that makes it so that if you are not aggrod and you walk into the range of a faction turret, it will open fire, but you will not be harmed.. if you start fighting, you will start taking damage..They say they were gonna fix this bug , not sure if its fixed yet or no.

But Fanshot per se works great against pvp and such, and against mobs, when your group is swarmed

It works.. just don't expect to hit everyhting in a 64m range.. and stop whining for one **edit**ing day !!!

Test it before you come talk **edit**, many people do like the game and are sick of this .

Yep, quite mad about this. Worked for months to get master pistoleer last night, only to find that Multi target is screwed beyond all belief. I have a hurton targeted, multitarget attack, I wind up shooting the opposite direction at some random mob that incaps me in 2 hits. Ok, I get up, find a nice group of mobs, send in the pet, multitarget shot, and wow, I hit 1 mob for 300. Lots of good this skill is. Sure glad I worked so long to get a utterly useless skill....
