Phase Shift bug


Ironblade

 

Posted

I have been seeing an interesting bug on one of my stalkers who have phase shift and hibernate. Once I have used phase shift, hibernate becomes greyed out and unclickable until phase shift has fully recharged. This also allies to assemble team, ouroborous portal and base teleporter powers.

I searched the bug forum here and found only one discussion about phase shift. Has anyone else seen this issue and is there any ETA for a fix? I plan to eliminate hibernate from the build if this is how the devs want this to work although I see no reason for it.

Not a bug. Lol.

But seriously, this makes no sense to me to suppress these powers just because I used Phase Shift and am waiting for it to recharge. Perhaps someone with more information can post up.

I believe that it has something to do with now wanting players to be able to 'phase' repeatedly. As I recall, there is a no phase period after any phase power is used (be it hibernate, phase shift, or any other phase power).

It's not a bug and is indeed working as intended. Kahlan is right, it's to stop players from repeatedly from phasing and perma avoiding debt.

I guess it suppresses every temp power as well as a by-product of the Dev's stopping the temp phases.

Put [NoPhase] in your in-game chat box.... That's the power you get given after phasing.


CoH PvP SG = SuperUnion - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
CoV PvP VG = Disruption - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
Global = @Rent & @Rent.

Playgroup are all **** - Global Handle

I quote from above, "Not a bug."

Seriously, though, it's not a bug. The devs decided that being able to cycle through a bunch of 'get out of jail (combat) free' powers was imbalanced. Therefore, using ANY such power suppresses ALL such powers for.... I forget the duration since I didn't care. I have one toon with Hibernate and none with Phase.

But yes, this is definitely how they want it to work and THEY see a reason for it. So don't expect it to be 'fixed'.

Just for curiostity, I checked:

[nophase]
Tolerance for Hibernation or being out of phase can only last so long. A brief period after activating such an ability, your body will reach a point where such powers cannot be re-activated again for 120 seconds.
