TheronFett Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Sweeping Blasters allows you to place a circle on the ground to rapid fire shots for an AoE attack. My character used to turn and face the direction of the circle...now he does not. I can put the AoE behind me, but my character still faces forward to fire.

Voranis Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Last thing we needed was more BH animation bugs. Especially considering how long it took them to fix the 'endless unload' animation bug .... Wait ... is it .... yeah right. /sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBloodloss Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 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.

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.

DarthBloodloss Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) 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! Edited October 2, 2012 by DarthBloodloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qaoz Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 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. Edited October 5, 2012 by DarthBloodloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
