Goldenstar Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 At least 4-5 times per WZ match, I'll hit my cover hotkey, roll halfway to a cover location, and stand right up. If I try to go into cover again before moving I get the "Unknown Effect Result" error message. This is game breaking for a marks sniper, 2-3s outside of cover with a melee opponent beating your face in means death. FIX THIS ASAP BIOWARE.

TheRealCandyMan Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Just use crouch instead. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrinnick Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Sorry Candyman, but you're wrong. All of the cover functions are old and busted... not just the auto roll to cover. Read some of the other comments about all the various bugs related to the crouch and cover, or just keep playing your seemingly non-bugged game without any interruption. These comments about bugs are here for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had any crouch issues in weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrinnick Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yep Candyman, you're amoung the few who either don't have the issue, or don't care about the issue and just continue to play with it. However, Lots of people (according to all the comments about bugs lately), are definately experiencing what the few are not. I've even asked around on my server, and there are some who either don't experience it, or just don't care enough to say it matters. But, Lots of us do care about this issue, since this bug is the primary function of the slinger/sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracarion Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Take cover in place seems to be working fine now, BUT take cover (roll to cover) is totally busted. Considering that rolling into cover provides many advantages in pvp over taking cover in place (no screen and defense bonus are HUGE advantages) this is a very big deal. I would venture to guess that anyone who hasn't experienced this bug since the patch is probably unaware that there are 2 different cover binding (which is sad, because the later is so much better). As of now, if I've got an enemy targeted and I go to roll into cover I will either get an error message or I will roll halfway to the cover spot and take cover in place (screen comes out). It's pretty much exactly as the OP described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivsoft Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Still having issues with Crouch. Almost the same failure rate as before the patch that supposedly fixed it. Will try it after todays patch and check if it works or not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDruidSS Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hmm, 26 levels through pvp alone (now 44) in Marksmanship spec the majority of the time.. which is the most cover reliant spec and I don't have any issues with crouch cover for the most part. I stopped using natural cover a long time ago. There are places where you can't crouch cover, but for the most part I just stay away from those areas.... like close to ledges or on certain objects...I don't feel that cover is broken, doesn't hurt my gameplay at all.

Crouch cover has no problems. It's the rolling into natural cover that is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botho Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The cover screen is fine for me and roll into cover is in pve situations but cover roll is not reliable in pvp atm to many times it does the half way roll and stand which is not great lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_G Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Rolling into natural cover offers the sniper a serious advantage in pvp. Good snipers rely on this function quite a bit for mobility. Try taking force sprint or leap off your toolbar. Bottom line, stop listing work arounds for us..... we know how to drop cover in place. Bioware needs to fix this bug asap.
