TrixxieTriss Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 A particular guild I’m not allowed to name has either worked out a specific bug against Sorcs using Force Barrier or it’s a hack. I can’t work out which. Here are the facts. A. Pop force barrier, its working against other people hitting me and it’s only half way through (so it’s not lag) B. Particular guild on classes that can push or pull other classes. Sins, PTs, Juggs, Sorcs. C. They are able to pull me to them or push me away while I’m in Force Barrier and make it cancel D. Only this guild has been able to do this too me E. Every match I’ve been with them so far, they have targeted me and done this “every time” I use Force Barrier. F. No other players in the game have been able to do this and I’ve had others use overload, force push, etc, on me while on Barrier. Is this a bug that these guys know exactly when to use those abilities to make this happen, hence exploiting it or is it a hack? I’ve not had anyone else been able to replicate it and it only started today. I even asked some people to try it on me and it doesn’t work for them. So how does this guild do it everytime I fight them? If it’s a bug, I’ll post a bug report. If it’s a hack, I’ll report it. But I need more info so I can report it to the right people and don’t waste their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow_ Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) there are a couple pub abilities that pull you when they're not supposed to pull at all, including out of casts, through whitebar, and iirc barrier as well one is definitely focused burst, not sure if it's only concentration, focus, or both specs I think blade blitz or whatever that ability is called these days sometimes does it as well, not sure which specs though I have no idea under what circumstances these pull effects happen, versus what circumstances they don't. But it's definitely a thing and has been for a long time Edited August 12, 2018 by yellow_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s really pissing me off is they know they can do it every time and focus me. It makes using Force Barrier pointless if they are on the other team.

Seterade Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 because sorc pull breaks sorc bubble cast, if... if they were determined to troll you.. and they knew you.. timing their bud on your team to sorc pull then their team uses kb/pull.. it would be possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be able to tell if it was. Especially when it’s 1v3 and none of my team are around Makes guarding a node impossible to hold till help arrives, Edited August 12, 2018 by TrixxieTriss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bob- Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/134591201 thats a terrible bug. Has anyone tested to see if it works with Juggs/Maras ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigOnXD Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 thats a terrible bug. Has anyone tested to see if it works with Juggs/Maras ? wasnt working on imp side when we tested it today...havent spend much time on imp tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixxieTriss Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 thats a terrible bug. Has anyone tested to see if it works with Juggs/Maras ? That is exactly what is happening to me while I’m in Sorc Force Barrier and it pulls me out of it, making it pointless to use when against people who can recreate this at will. 😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially it’s cheating if done on purpose. But how do you report something like that without recording it each time because Bioware may not even see that in their data and it “could” be triggered accidentally. So many bugs that are destroying this game from with in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely going to pay more attention to it now to see if it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know what’s happening, it’s easy to spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellarcrusade Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Since it possibly can be used by accident, perhaps they should do like they do now when people are somewhere they shouldn't be, instant death. Someone uses that on you and pop, they dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RafaelPeretz Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Weird stuff. IDK who by accident will waste a proced force burst through sorc bubble. If it is happening everytime, it is surely being exploited. BW fault. I just hope they don't wait 2 years to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
