Nephemera Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I apologize if this has been brought up already, but I couldn't find any threads on it--and only one vague mention of a similar issue (second post in this thread) back in December 2012. I've noticed that on my Operative, all of the graphical effects on Mantellian Peacemaker Grek disappear after using Backstab and stay gone as long as I remain in combat. This doesn't appear to be an issue with my settings, as friends can observe the same thing happening to the model on their own screens. Can't speak for anyone else, but when I pay extra for a Cartel Market item with special effects, it feels like a huge waste when those effects don't even show up most of the time.

ashmantoo Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This issue effects me also, as well as other concealment operatives that I've seen in flashpoints. Please address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephemera Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Can we at least get an acknowledgement of this bug? This thread seems to be related to the issue, though personally I've only encountered it as described in my first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm the exact same thing is happening on my Operative for both the Rangehunter EE-1 Carbine and the DLA-13 Heavy Blaster Rifle. Backstab causes the weapon to be unequipped temporarily while using the knife, and the moment the animation starts it turns off any present effect on the weapon but does NOT re-enable this effect once the animation is ended and the regular main hand is equipped again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishraArtificer Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Confirmed also on my Sniper, with the Max-TAC Precision Sniper rifle, from the Cartel Market's early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephemera Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 I hadn't noticed the issue with looting on my Operative (due to Backstab already messing the effects up), but I've definitely noticed it now on my Mercenary with Balmorran Hand Cannon Besh equipped.
