Until the recent update, hitting the weapon special of the Illisi force sword, while the special effect is already active, used to refresh the effect and generate peril every time the weapon special was pressed.
Now, reactivating the weapon special will still play the animation, but does not refresh the duration of the effect, or generate peril.
That is pretty bad.
Steps to Reproduce (Required):
Equip an Illisi force sword and spam weapon special.
If you spam the weapon special 4 times in a row, you will see that the special gets activated on the first “cast”.
Cast 2-4 will play the animation, but not generate peril, or actually refresh the duration of the activation.
That is why you will see the activation effect immediately wear off after the 4th activation.
I keep experiencing this myself on the thunderhammer (both marks) power up got to swing and the power up is gone. I’m going to try to get some footage of it, maybe its latency or a server side issue?
Any word on this by any chance? The bug seems to impact a whole bunch of weapons so I sure hope this isn’t one of those things that doesn’t get fixed for weeks upon weeks…
I am chasing up on this again. I’m collecting the comments and posts from there, as well as the mentions on the latest hotfix thread. Thank you! I’ll try to give an update ASAP.
Hey friends! I just posted elsewhere but thank you for creating this post and for all the comments. Our team investigated the fix and it should be rolled out in Hotfix 1.5.4 aka the next one.
Do we have an ETA for this? A significant amount of weapons have effectively been inoperable for 23 days now. Made worse by the fact that the weapons in question tend to be the more high-profile ones…
