Was in a match today and was having a helluva fun time until boombitty bang! there goes my side torso. To make it just THAT much more interesting I started to desync right afterwards and thought, no enemies around for now I will quit the match and rejoin real fast.... To my surprise when I returned to the match magic happened.... Thought wow...um okay. Probably caused by the near desync. Grab Grantham and hit a private match and test it out. Grantham blew off my side torso (he enjoyed it entirely too much), I quit the match, rejoined and voila...I had all my weapons back even those on the missing torso and arm. Now before you exploiters out there go WOOT! be advised that it DOESN'T appear that the weapons do any damage even though they continue to fire as normal AND even worse than doing no damage STILL use up ammo as if they WERE. In other words I had 3 of my 5 LBx's blown off and while after getting them back they appeared to do no damage but they STILL used 5 rounds instead of 2 every time I fired....NOT FUN. Reported it to PGI so they will probably have a fix oh.......yeah....
Thatis probably the worst bug I've seen in this game so far, and that's including closed beta shenanigans.
I've actually had the converse of this on my DWF and Nova...WITHOUT a DC. Had my RT or LT blown off, but the graphic for the arm stayed there until I took another shot to that torso. Not only did the weapons still fire, but they still did damage in that case. Reported it a while back, but it still happens from time to time.
This still happens to me as well, not extremely often but I've once survived a crit RT in my Gauss 3D, while the RA actually stayed ailve and I got a kill with it. Too bad i forgot to save the recording, that was hilariously dirty. Correction: i'm remembering something wrong. A 3D-Gausser should not be able to survive a killed ST. In any case, I fire a physically detached arm ballistic and got a kill with it.
Had my ST blown off on my DWF as well, with the arm staying there at deep red with all the weapons. didn't live long enough to even fire it once so don't know if that could deal any damage.
What concerned me the most about this was that it could easily be exploited. Lose a torso, who cares, quit and rejoin and voila back in action.
Except ... "doing no damage". If you have no armament then its not hard to kill you and then you stay down. The 1 min or so you're off line is a LONG time in a battle. Do it enough to get caught or worse frapsed and you get banned for exploiting. Or am I missing something?
Hail, Our group noticed this about 2 weeks ago and reported it, in our case the player was able to rejoin the fight and deal damage. Seyla,
It has happened to me a couple times that my side torso is destroyed but my arm is still there with weapons working. Those times it seemed to happen when the side torso is destroyed by critical hits, so that there is still bypassed armour "left".
Can confirm this bug is still in...had this in a match just now. Also, I shot with the PPCs on my right arm and stripped a component, so they still do damage like this
