Sweeping Blasters animation broken in 1.4

This ability has never auto-faced, ever. I am 100% sure of this as I have been using this toon as my main since early release.

 

I have always noticed this because I always wondered if people knew I was shooting the right targets, or just randomly firing in the wrong direction. (They wont be able to tell which ground template is mine so they have no idea where I am shooting if there are multiple AoEs going.)

 

Unload auto-faces, Sweeping Blasters does not.

Well, um...prior to today, mine did, along with every single other Merc's. Dunno what your deal is.

I am 100% sure you are 100% wrong and if believe what you are saying I believe you used sweeping blasters exactly 0% of the time.

Here's some proof from 2011 -

Boom, roasted

Boom, roasted (the more I read your sentence, the more I realize it doesn't make sense)

 

I await your comebacks.

Fail. It's been broken before, this isn't the first time.

 

Get a job.

 

As a matter of fact I'm at work right now, probably getting paid more today than you do in a week

 

I have tons of recorded pvp games. Even ones from the 2 weeks directly before 1.4

 

It was broke then, was broke before, and is broke now. Just like you

And another troll enters the fray. :rolleyes:

 

Yes, those of us who took initiative to start our own business do exist. I know it's hard to grasp the concept of not punching a time clock for a living. At any rate, back to our normally scheduled thread...

Yea that doesn't sound made up lol Especially since you are so concerned with quoting an hourly rate as the "owner".

 

If I was going to attempt to brag about my job, I'd just say my yearly salary or title - not my hourly pay.

 

Edit: Just busted out the calculator. You make $728,000 a year before overtime. Put in some extra hours in December and you can prolly hit a mill this year!

Okay, kids, here's the deal:

 

Sweeping Blasters used to auto-face, then didn't auto-face, then was "fixed" to auto-face and now doesn't auto-face.

 

It wouldn't be the first time an ancient bug has reappeared in a later patch. Apparently BioWare loves their code so much they don't actually remove the faulty lines, they just tug them under the new stuff and sometimes someone accidentally deletes a semicolon or whatever and the old code resurfaces.

 

Good stuff.

 

P.S. I don't have a job. As such, my opinion should be summarily dismissed as incorrect, because having a job means you're smart and know what you're talking about.

I swear you guys are thinking of Unload, which has always auto-faced. Is it possible you mis-remembered? I will pay 100k credits on The Harbinger to whoever shows me a video of not-broken Sweeping Blasters from any version between Early Access and today.

 

One of my earliest memories of TOR is this broken animation as I was messing around during beta. Its something I always remembered and was aware of. If it was ever fixed, it was only for a very short time and I still highly doubt that.

No proof, but I too can report that this is now broken *again*. It is also affecting the similar Gunslinger ability called Sweeping Gunfire. I remember playing with both abilities on the fleet a few weeks ago and enjoying the fact that the toons were now facing the targetted area.

 

As for confusing this with Unload, I highly doubt it. Unload is a single-target ability: it hits your current target. Sweeping Blasters/Gunfire are targetted abilities: you have to place a target on the ground. Hard to confuse the two.

 

I've reported the bug ingame. I suggested others do the same. Even you DarthBloodloss :).

Ok I'll report it just for you!

 

I'll even report the dark side bounty hunter chapter 3 loading screen, just for old times sake

 

No need. :) (At least for the animation issue...)
