Penances

Issue Description (Required):

The other day i finally did this penance. But the last about 20 to 30 were counted very erratically. I play mostly malice for weekly and heresy to relax in the evening.

I always alternate between all classes during the week, and realized something.

During the last month i think i got quite better at detecting hounds, prepare for their jump, wait for their jump, and push them in mid air, without panicking or dodging, just waiting them. Not only because of the penance, but also because i found that when you push them, even when they are not airborne, they get staggered for quite a bit of time, while you can just run to them and kill them.

While i was playing my psyker (staff and Illisi force Sword) all my pushes in mid air where not counted. And the penance counter did not go up.

When i switched to Veteran and Zealot all the pushes were always counted, especially with my veteran.

My hypothesis is that the force push of psyker weapons doesn’t trigger the penance counter.

I also had problems with my ogryn pushes not being counted.

But i am quite sure that veteran pushes were always counted, followed by reliability by zealot.

Now i have finished the penance so i can’t experiment anymore, but does anyone remember doing this penance with the psyker? Or ogryn?

Maybe it’s also a problem with character height, hound jump trajectory (my veteran is very smol, i made her the tiniest chibi vet), while my zealot, psyker and ogryn are all maximum height.

Or, server lag? I think with my veteran some pushes were counted even though the hound was still beginning its jump, but not yet in air (typical with lesser hounds swarm chaos, where i found that alternating pushes really scrambles them and helps a bit).

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Play with psyker, with maximum height character, equip staff and Illisi Force Sword
  2. Push in mid air a hound jumping to you with the dueling sword force push.
  3. verify penance counter.
