• Broken Weapon Certs




• Tusken rifle


• Cover Bug 1




• you load uncovered if someone crosses a server boundry




• you are seen for a split sec when




• unloaded for opponent


• loaded but out of radar range - then opponent comes into range


• loaded but in radar range - opponent ran out of and back into range


• Cover Bug 2- skill does not work unless on perfectly flat ground




• temp fix: pavement, porches, scout camps


• no error message as to the failure - just a clunk during warmup


• SniperShot - same as cover bug 2


• Aim




• icon does not show often


• fails often


• best version is not significantly longer then the next best version

Aim, being a windup has the same bugs as snipershot and coverup. So does firearmstrike, but the chance of failure is very short because of short windups.

So when do we get it fixed?

Would you consider everything aggroing to the riflemen/women a bug? They forget they are being hit buy the person next to them and fire at the person holding the rifle 64m away.

Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge these /bugs. I do hope that a fix is within sight. It's just nice to know I'm NOT doing something wrong or I'm not crazy when I have to hit /cover 7 or 8 times and it STILL doesn't cover.

Just for my information though, what IS the min distance from ANYTHING that a player should be before /cover SHOULD work all the time?

Once again, thank you for your efforts.

I've got one to add.

When an NPC is rooted, and a tank is attacking them, they can 'ping' to your position instantly, even though they haven't unrooted yet. Which causes me no end of problems. It's the same situation as with NPCs walking through walls. They will run at the wall to get away from you (or at least did pre-CU) then suddenly be x meters away. It's almost as like it realises that it can't get through for a bit, but the the server takes the information of where it should have been going, and how fast, and puts in it's new position. As if all collision is done client-side. Which makes sense on one hand, but not in these situations.

Bah. Bah I tell you!

Tucheck -- I believe it's 20m

Has anyone noticed ANY effect from /aim ? I seem to do the same damage with or without /aiming . . .

There is an "aim" ability?

Exactly

Also if a MOB is KD'ed, I've seen many MOB's once their KD'ed and I unload a few head shots slide on their arse right for me.

Does it look like a dog scooching his butt holio across the carpet because it itches?

One other "bug" and or "balance" issue in general is that the RM is not the almighty "Nuker" they said we would be. I expect to see a bit more damage dealt out for the action costs associated with our specials.

Everything, you did and didn't want to know about aim.
