How bugged is the Statesman TF?


Call Me Awesome

 

Posted

The only bug I have seen with the STF is the following:

1.) Set up a MoSTF.

2.) Invite my badger toon - Ice/Rad controller with only 2 badges left to earn outside of Vet rewards and badges unattainable.

3.) Get through to the last mission and through the AVs before Recluse with no deaths.

4.) Some other player will die and screw it up. Happens every time. It must be a bug.

So, so sick of that TF.

Don't take it personal. I'm just following the idea of parsimony and questioning the perception of the situation. In this case, a bug is actually less simple than "knocked a repairman down the ramp and he ran up the other side" or a situation like CMA has presented (actually had that happen with Sonic Repulsion pushing one under the Tower).

I'm not saying it isn't impossible but I'd need more than a description of what could have happened from one player. And a reiteration: Nothing personal, I'm just naturally skeptical.

Indeed, I've been on two STF's where someone DID manage to KB a repairman under the closed dome of a destroyed tower; now we watch carefully for that. It seems that if you KB a repairman up to a destroyed tower he tends to run to the middle of it, thus falling into the pit below and becoming hidden from view. He'll then rez and repair the tower putting you back to square one.

The repairmen are so fragile that most KB powers also hit them with enough damage to kill them outright; it's the no-damage KB powers that are usually the culprit. The easiest solution is AOE, AOE, AOE on the towers... that'll kill 'em as they spawn. If slotted for damage Bonfire is fantastic for this.

Currently this is still on a petition list and is being questioned by a GM and the question regarding the flyers is under some scrutiny, so at least that part might be addressed. And I understand your position of skepticism, but we had five or six good runs at Recluse himself and we had ample opportunity to observe if we'd gotten all the Repairmen or not. If the situation is one of the Repairmen falling into that dome, then I still call that a bug, as that's something outside of the realm of the players to control or be responsible for.
