Two Buggy Questions!

Post#1 » Wed Jan 21, 2015 7:14 pm

Heya! And! Hello, Elven! I'm coming for you! :lol:

Anyways! Some people seem to have a "witch hunting" mindset, at the moment. Kind of funny, since it's a class. But! There are some people exploiting bugs on purpose, and a majority of people that happen to have a bug happen with no intention of exploitation. So! I was hoping for some information.

The the bug I'm most worried about is the "1 damage" bug. How does this work? Have we connected a pattern? I thought it was a tank thing, at first. But, I then read a post saying it was happening to a slayer. The tanks made sense to me. Whenever I use Shield of Rage, I take one damage until the affect is gone. So, I thought maybe the 1 damage bug was just that effect lingering. But, I don't know now that a slayer has reported it. Unless! Slayers have a shield buff. I wouldn't know, I play exclusively females.

Is the unflagging for RvR a bug, or a not fully implemented mechanic? I've noticed in oRvR, sometimes it'll tell me my target is not flagged. Is oRVR optional in lakes, at the moment? I don't want to be the one attacking other players, and not be flagged. Or, does attacking auto-flag you? I know during Live, if you were in the lake, you were flagged. I've also noticed that sometimes when the message pops up letting me know my target isn't flagged, it'll still let me attack them. Possibly because I'm mashing the button to kill the person, and they flagged themselves very shortly after attempting to use my first ability.

So! Just trying to avoid falling victim. Any knowledge would help me (and possibly other players) avoid being reported for unintentionally getting a bug. Thank you!

That Slayer was experiencing the bug on his Chosen, and decided to use it in PvP.

Ah, I see. So, it's exclusive to tanks? So, it's just a lingering defense buff? I don't play Chosen (again, no female choices), so I'm not sure if they get a shield or not like BG.

Elven! You and your High Elf-iness. So going down. :lol: Dark Elves, woo! Haha. Also! Thank you. For being awesome. Still... going down... Though, being a Sith earns you brownie points!

So, I still don't understand the 1 damage bug. I haven't seen it, yet. I take one damage when I use Shield of Rage, and I use it as often as possible to stay alive. Shield of Rage absorbs damage for 10 secs or 312 damage. I haven't seen it linger on me, yet. After the affect is over, I die. But! It only has a 10 second CD, so sometimes I can get it back up. And, since people insist on hitting tanks in this game (same as Live, woo! Haha), I'll always have Hatred to spend.

I would really like to know if it's an exploited bug people are doing, or if it's just tanks using their shield buff. Maybe the ability itself is bugged, and the way for it to work at the moment is to take 1 damage at a time, rather than absorbing all of it. It's my most useful ability, even more useful than my Willpower debuff! Pesky healers... Anyways, it makes me nervous to play my current favorite, Black Guard. I don't want to get reported for using my most important ability...

I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong. I'm really just looking for facts on this.
