ever since I15 anytime I oil slick I can't shoot it, If I target it and fire it targets the nearest enemy as if the oil slick is an ally and i'm targetting whatever it is targetting. Not even aoe fire attacks from other allies will set it off....anyone else have this problem?

Was just wondering about this as I was thinking of working on mine, but I heard someone else mention this untargetable bug in help channel the other day. I'm not high enough on one to test this power though.

Then I look in the character creator detailed info about the power under ignited oil slick and see its damage per cast cycle listed as "1.#J" Was it always funky like that there too?

Completely untrue.

It merely reinforces it.

OSA is known to cause Castle to pull his hair out. This is just another case of it acting up.

Is Glue Arrow still broken and fading when the enemy you shot it with is killed?

Glue arrow (for masterminds at least) has always done that, but the debuff still affects the mobs it hit.

[/ QUOTE ]I thought it actually made Castle cry, and that was its true power. Of course, powers that interact with other powers have always been..... tricky in this game's engine (see Black Scorpion temp from BSF vs. Unbreakable, specifically the number of revisions that got).

Bugged in beta, not fixed. If you use the Kill Target button in MA testing mode, it can die, likewise for Fire/Energy AoEs going off nearby. But targeting the Oil makes the attack go elsewhere.

Another reason they need to port Assault Rifle to Defenders. Ignite anyone?

I've noticed that if you sometimes shoot stuff at the Oil Slick before igniting it, it can cause it to light when it normally refuses to, or vice versa. The same sequence to get a stubborn slick to light always works until you zone or log. For example, if you can convince it to light by shooting it with glue arrow, poison gas arrow, and then your ignition attack, it will always light when you do that (unless something else hits it during that chain). On teams with fire/energy cones/aoes, this can cause some randomness to making it light, at least in my experience. Your mileage may vary.
