Thread: Outstanding Bugs

Please post all outstanding bugs that are Swordsman/melee related. This entails things that are actually broken (or assumed to be broken) but not things that simply are not working very well.

Example:

-- Knockdown Stacking --
Knockdown incorrectly "stacks". When you apply a knockdown to a target that has already been knocked down they immediately get put into the standing position (even if they are warcry'ed, dizzy'ed, etc.). This makes knockdown hard to use in groups or as a main attack (as you must manually apply each knockdown and see if it works before applying another and cannot use the queue). This is thought to be a relic of the knockdown timers. The assumption is that the code checks the position of the target and updates them to standing if they are timered when it should simply not apply any changes at all if they are timered

The purpose of this, by the way, is to make sure that I have covered all the angles before I submit a report to the devs on what are suggested priorities for fixes over the coming future. So if you've got anything, spill it.

I noticed after my initial knockdown, getting another one to stick was nearly impossible. I also noticed when I knocked down a humanoid NPC who was kneeling into prone, he would not get up, or attack at all and just let me swing away.

I'm not exactly sure whether it's the corpses on the ground or just the number of the targets, but i've witnessed this numerous times in the Geonosian cave. When I use 2h-area3, the combat queue shows I'm hitting each target for x number of damage. In reality, all the damage is being done to one enemy, allonwing for almost all 1 hit kills.


On a side note, I wouldn't necessarily say that this is a bad thing.

It's not just KD that has that problem if you stack it, all posture down attacks have that problem.

In the Center of Being case the word is "efficacy" not "efficiency";

ef·fi·ca·cy ( P )
n.
Power or capacity to produce a desired effect; effectiveness.


On the error side, I don't know whether sweep2 being a slower, more costly and less effective version of areahit2 which you get earlier is a bug or just a design flaw.

This is because there is a 30 second timer on KDs, for 30 seconds nobody can apply a new KD to that enemy. It will give you the failed to KD message if you try during that time.
