Thread: Possible SL Bugs
- Form Up - Against the Krayts this was always a useful ability. Post-Curb, it seems to be a 50/50 shot as to when it works. Sometimes it worked great, sometimes it didn't work at all. When it didn't work, it seemed random whether or not the System MEssage displayed. Did they add a chance for failure, or is this a bug?
- Rally - Again, sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. Didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, just sometimes the bar would appear, the time would pass, and then nothing would happen.
- Steady Aim - Again, randomness. Sometimes I would see the spatial yell, but no icons on the group. Sometimes I would get neither the yell or the icons, sometimes I got both.
- Sometimes while trying to get SteadyAim to work, my autoattack would simply stop.
Has anyone else run into these issues?
Yeah, I get this a lot. Sometimes it's because I forgot to declare and I'm still on leave leading a squad of combatants (and the auto-declare option was taken out) - but I think it might also have something to do with movement during the wind-up phase. I can't find the specific reference, but I'm pretty sure there were patch notes recently that said they'd be adding an intelligible failure reasonto the spatial/combat spam.

One other odd behavior I noticed alot the other night. I could use SteadyAim or Rally, and the icons would appear next to everyone in the group. Then vanish in under 5 seconds.
confirmed
rally and steadyaim only last 5 seconds.
add in that you need almost three seconds for the windup and are not allowed to move ( I can understand that for steady aim but not for rally) it makes those two specials even more "usefull".

Well, not always. I had steadyaim and rally last the full 30seconds several times. But I also had alot of times where it would seemingly only last for 1-2seconds.
I can comfortably confirm this behavior after spending six hours repelling Sith Pirates in mostly full groups at The Village last night. If I stayed planted during wind-up everything worked fine. It would be nice if we could get a clue as to theactual intended design. Also, Volley Firewas awesome in helping to pick outthe Pirates from the rest of the Sith riff-raff. Painting targets and calling "effective" fire from the rear was the realization of a Rifleman's dream.

Looks like you were right.. I spent another 5 hours leading groups on talus tonight, and as long as I stood still while the Rally or Steadyaim bar was going, they stuck every time.

On Kashyyk tonight I had rally fail twice on me. Both times I was in combat already and under fire.
I havent tested it, but could it be that the windup is interrupted if you get hit AND take damage ?
