ZeusThunder Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 How is this still not fixed? With Powertech as my main using a Vanguard is super annoying. Already there have been multiple times where it has prevented me from stopping a point capture in WZ's. Has there been any word from Bioware on this? As a side note, has anyone else noticed that the cone on Ion Blast is much larger than the cone on Flamethrower? I find myself using Ion a lot more than I use Flamethrower.

Yep, devs have Mortar Volley/Full Auto on the "fix list", from a dev post. And yeah, I find Pulse Cannon a lot easier to use than Flamethrower- it IS a much broader cone, and I do put it to good use. We may be "mirrors", but they did manage a few differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzm Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have yet to play a BH as I've pretty much stuck with just my vanguard because of limited play. Can someone elaborate what is wrong with mortar volley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VragonBral Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have yet to play a BH as I've pretty much stuck with just my vanguard because of limited play. Can someone elaborate what is wrong with mortar volley? There is a difference in the damage landing compared to animation and time. There has been multiple posts on the PvP forums about it. Motor Volley is slower then the mirror of the Bounty Hunter's, Death From Above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzm Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 you don't want to know. it will just make you mad. lol. Yeah I've noticed the delay in the skill, think I even read something about it in taugrims thread. I always just thought that was how the skill worked. Now I know better, fix fix fix.

Mayol Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Why, they already know. Question is will they ever actually do anything........... Why fix things when they can mangle the UI and wildly swing the nerf bat at everything else? Oh wait they fixed.... oh wait, no they didn't. It was in the patch notes, but it's still broken.

Gustomucho Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 They rather fix class imbalance than mirror imbalance. Most of them play Imperial so they don't really care about the vanguard. And honestly, seeing how they botched up SOA in yesterday's patch, I don't want them to touch to the vanguard. When they "fix" things, they break more than they fix. Oh, SoA is bugged 10% of the time, lets fix that.. now it bugs 100% of the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanyala Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Mortar Strike / Death from Above Full Auto / Unload Both are still working way better on the PT than on the Vanguard. But Ion Pulse and Flame Thrower have the exact same cone. - tested it it's just visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ururururu Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Mythic devs are terrible about fixing bugs. They actually introduce more than they fix. Give it up and wait for the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharagada Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Hey at least your 2 pc bonus doesn't break your aoe stun In all seriousness it does need to be fixed, it's not the worst bug but it is annoying.

ComeAndSee Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Mortar Volley is currently a 5s animation with a 3s cast time. The damage is also timed incorrectly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littletza Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 you don't want to know. it will just make you mad. But then you'll grow up and come to peace with it and start making constructive posts on the issue on the appropriate forums. So its okay if you really wish to know - simply read one of the many posts about mortar volley scattered about all the various forums. If you can't find one, simply go by the screeching whiny sounds:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TScott Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) It's sad... Also, do any of you know if there is a video that compares Storm vs. Jet Charge. Storm feels very slow and wierdly functioning. The videos I've seen of Powertechs using their charge seems faster. I would love to see a comparison. Also remember to post tickets about it, the more pressure the better. I have made tickets about both Mortar Volley and Storm. Thanks for the vid Edited February 10, 2012 by TScott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakmonster Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Go and test this on your Vanguards. After the second tick of damage, just move and break the channel. The third tick of damage will still happen, because the channel has actually already completed. The animation is still catching up, but you can cancel the animation without any penalties. I do this all the time in PvP, its just an animation thing, not an actual mechanics thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the issue with mortar volley isnt completing the animation its how long it takes for damage to land after you initiate the ability. I almost never use mortar volley in pvp because by the time the first round lands there is noone left in the area to hit. I know there is a slight delay in Death from Above but that generally lands at least one hit before people have cleared the area. In Mortar Volley its like there is an invisible aoe knock back on everyone - they see they blue target circle and they is goooooooooonnnnneeeee.
