Stalkers are STILL very bugged...

I've got 2 stalkers on the go atm.

1. Ninja Blade / Energy Aura
2. Martial Arts / Regen

Now both are quite fun to play as expected but BOTH suffer from the same bugs.

1. Assassin Strike end usage bug - The one people have complained about since CoV release. On so many occassions, i click AS and i use up end, i get no too far away message, i start the AS animation then midway through the animation, my pc forgets my character is midway through an assassin strike and stops doing anything... On one occassion recently (a couple of days ago so its VERY fresh in my memory), i used up half (yes 50%) of my end stood next to a stationary mob trying to cast AS but it just wouldnt complete successfully.

2. Mobs seeing through invis for no reason - This is not anything to do with AoE attacks or any other reason for a mob seeing me. This is not refering to PvP either. This is purely numerous occasions where a mob has seen me while in "hide" as i get into position for AS. And seeing as AS is the one thing that really makes a stalker unique, the fact that mobs regularly see through "hide" makes a bit of a joke of one of their primary skills.

Neither of these issues is tricky to reproduce DEV's, just play for an evening on a stalker and you will see this happen almost 100% garaunteed atleasst once in an evening.

Please sort this out.

Thx

[EDIT: the AS bug happens ALOT more frequently... More like atleast once every group of mobs. The hide one is alot less frequent but none the less, equally annoying.]

The AS bug is a TOTAL pain. I've used up over 50% end before trying to do just what you said.

Can't say i've had a problem with hide yet though - well, not once I was told that the council drones could see through it (which I presume isn't a bug!)

Yup, multiple clicks of As is an end killer, which can break us in battles when our end unexptedly disapears and all of our defensive powers shut down. '>.>

and after reading that topic the otherday about mobs seeing through me...i's ben happening ever since ;_;... yeah we're bugged alright.

This bug your talking about is no different from any other interuptable power, when you click it you use end, even if its interupted. I have drained my self silly using heal self on my blaster


50s
controllers: Ill rad , grav rad, fire kin, ice kin
blaster: ice em
scrapper: spines sr

I haven't been experiencing many problems regarding AS, but I get annoyed when I randomly get interrupted by a mob seeing through hide even though I haven't touched them yet..

5 mins of scrapping, and a couple of blue insps later, and I'm fine, but taking out the first mob before the fight even started would of been better

Mobs dont randomly see through hide. Ambushes autotarget you when they spawn but thats about it.

No, sorry but you are wrong there about this. The AS bug we are talking about happens even by stationary mobs who are unaware you are there. There is no reason for it to be interupted. The animation starts the mobs havent moved. The animation just stops PLUS the next time you start AS, the animation is bugged and for example with the martial arts AT, the blue animation of AS doesnt happen the 2nd time round. This is definitely a bug not just player error.

Again, you are i am afraid also wrong there. I know the ambush mobs auto target you but i am talking about again normal mobs stationary who have no reason to be able to see you. Lvl12-24 helions or skulls are one example of this. From time to time a mob will see you while hidden as you position yourself to do an AS. No reason at all to be seen.

Must be pretty rare then as i've never been spotted by any mobs in 29 levels as a stalker without it being an ambush or my own fault.

I said the same thing in a previous topic Zeph and it's happened to me a few times since...

I've yet to experience either of these two bugs.

When my AS get's interrupted I can usually find a reason for it (most often activating the power whilst the server thinks I'm still moving).

When I get spotted by mobs I can't be certain of a reason, but it seems to be the same types of mobs that spot me; therefore I assume that it's something to do with their power choices.

I'm not saying they don't exist, but havn't experienced them yet

I have not experienced either of these bugs.

Sometimes my AS is interupted because I didn't pause for quite long enough before starting the strike.
