I haven't heard anything about Oil Slick either. Obvious question, just to get it out of the way, you were using a fire or energy attack, right?
"Mastermind Pets operate...differently, and aren't as easily fixed. Especially the Bruiser. I want to take him out behind the woodshed and pull an "old yeller" on him at times." - Castle
used my flame arrow and had a fire kin right on top of it and nothing.
They changed the manufacturing process. Before it was a natural based formula now they use a synthetic formula.
The new synthetic oil has a higher ignition point. You simply weren't hot enough to start a fire.
Did you /bug it in game.
Also put as much detail as you can in a PM to Castle.
He obviously needs less grey hairs

@Mr Falkland Islands"A Nation Goes Rogue" Arc# 2369 "Toasters and Pop Tarts" Arc#116617
Proper format is:
Step 1 turn hair grey
Step 2 Pull out hair at frustration of OSA
Step 3 ???
Step 4 Profit!

There were no TA changes, or pet changes which would affect OSA, and I just roasted 8 Death Mages. What you experienced is typical OSA bug-out behavior. It happens.

I don't believe this is typical behaviour. I just experienced it myself, and I have two questions for the OP: Were you in an MA mission when the Oil Slick failed to light? Did it just not light, or were you unable to attack it to -get- it to light?
I cannot drop an oil slick in an MA mission and light it at all. Not because it fails to light, but because I can no longer target it with -anything-. Blue reticle and everything, 100% of the time.
Leaving the mission and dropping the Oil Slick out in the regular game produced a normal Oil Slick that I was capable of lighting 100% of the time.

This. I bugged it in-game, and hoped that it was a just a bug for that mission, but apparently not.
The maddening thing about it is that an attack against the blue reticle WILL STILL FIRE, but you miss 100% of the time. I tried multiple times with the Temp Taser, Blazing Arrow and the Nem Staff, and although it was a blue reticle, the attacks always fired... and always missed.
I would have been in deep trouble if the EB at the end of the mission had not accidently ignited the slick themselves with Rain of Fire.
This is a bad, bad bug to crop up for a TA. Hopefully, it is just restricted to MA missions-- I did not have a chance to test it in a regular mission.

Someone posted in another thread that they think the problem is that the Oil Slick is targeting a foe and when you target the Oil Slick to hit it, it's acting like assisted targeting through a teammate and you're really attacking the target that the Oil Slick is targeting.

Wow. That would make perfect sense to describe what I saw happening.
wwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaassssswwwwwwwwwwAt least they fixed the Page Break in Bios Bug. And more arise.

Handy to be teamed with an AR/Fire Blaster- between Flamethrower, Ignite and Burn, something's gotta set it off.
So did they "fix" the part when you try to hit it with Flame Arrow where the Lethal instead of the fire would hit? That was the normal bug for it. That's why I remade a TA toon.

This would make sense also. I noticed in the combat log that when I had the Slick targeted and tried to light it with my Apprentice Charm, I was hitting one of the mobs instead.
I am curious about the poster that said the mobs managed to light their Slick with a rain? The mobs I was fighting failed to light my Slick with their AoEs, but that might've just been the Oil Slick being fickle like it always has been.

Yeah, it was the EB I was fighting. I think the key is that the Oil Slick has a blue reticule, meaning that it is an ALLY now, and when our "ally" targets a baddie, the attack on Oil Slick goes to the baddie via Assist.
But by the same token, Oil Slick is now a "good guy" that still gets hit by enemy rains and such. Since Rain of Fire is pretty obvious, and puts out many, many little attacks, that was the culprit to my thinking. Oil Slick may be very hard to hit and ignite with say, Energy Torrent, but that only takes one shot as it were. RoF with its many attacks finally did the trick, I guess.
BTW Castle PM'd and said they are aware of this and working on a fix.

Destructible objects in MA missions are conning friendly until aggroed. It's an MA bug, not an OSA bug.

The question then is how to aggro your Oil Slick... which sounds like the setup for any number of bad punch lines.

Actually, the question is, will your own OSA burn you if you do ignite it in an MA mission?
There was a bug, when the MA was introduced, that caused OSAs cast by friendly NPCs to burn everything, including themselves and you. I haven't checked to see whether it's been fixed yet (reported it to Castle when i was working on my first arc, he said he'd take care of it), but with this new destructible object bug, I probably should.
I encountered this problem in the mission architect also.
My poor little earth/TA controller was so sad when she couldn't light her fire. So sad that she did send an in game ticket to support.
Are the devs aware of this issue yet? I don't want to bug Castle with an email about it if he already knows of this issue.
Although I am tempted to send him a message saying "Comeon baby light my fire...." tee hee.

Great to hear as I just ask about this is the Technical issues/bugs section. I'm glad Castle knows about it b/c my Earth/TA controller and my TA/archery defender are hating not being able to light oil slick in the AE missions.
