Thread: Skills not affecting late joining members/jedi

Over the past few days, I have noticed that none of my skills will affect people who join after initial group formation. I would say that the group had been formed for about 10 minutes. 2 of the 3 instances involved the late player being a jedi. Do our skills not work for them? I tried rally, volley fire, and retreat. In all cases, none of the skill effects were received by the newest group members. We were all within 10 meters of each other. I bugged this in game. Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks.

Did you check their status in the GCW? If you are neutral or on leave, you can't influence any combatant or special force player. This might be the reason for this observation, otherwhise i couldn't explain it, i never had that effect.

this is probably the issue. If they are higher in the GCW food chain or in the opposite foodchain you can't help them.

I noticed last night in one of my groups where all of us were combatant that my Rally wasn't sticking to everyone. First time in a while that I've had such trouble. Steady Aim and Volley Fire still seemed to work fine on the group. I think that maybe just the icon wasn't showing for some of my groupmates.

Another possible reason: range.


How far were the ones where it didn't stick to?


(This actually could be an issue if it uses the same distance formula as the entertainer stuff... Sometimes a distance of two meters is too much to listen to an entertainer, i had the effect more than once... and, while one entertainer, even at 2 meters, is too far away to listen, the other one in the corner for the formula is much closer and you can listen. If the rally uses the same procedure, it might run into the same bug, too.)

Thanks for all the input. I will try to remember to check GCW status next time I notice this, as his was probably the case. Most of my guild/friends are usually 'on leave' so this is probably the issue. Thanks again for the info!
