Segundus Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) As Snipers, we rely heavily on our ability to enter cover. If I cannot enter cover I cannot use the majority of my sniper abilities. Often when I attempt to enter cover, the action gets denied with the error "Unknown Effect Result". Sometimes it will happen many times in a row which can completely ruin whatever I am doing, especially PVP. I had it happen yesterday where it would not work at all, and the error would come up everytime until I eventually relogged. I don't want to have to relog everytime this error decides it's going to show up. I have already entered a support ticket and it was forwarded on, but I wanted to bring it up here to get the public aware of it. I hear it happens to other classes too. Please fix this as it is gamebreaking, especially for PVPers. Thank you. Edited May 6, 2012 by Segundus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for this particular error, i had this one we i was on a very thin ledge and by no means i was supposed to be able to drop my portable cover.

MasterFeign Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 the cover system is quite bugged after the last patch.

While it's understandable that a sniper shouldn't be able to go into cover on a strange ledge, it does make it a bit unfair when lets say a melee class can do so without issue. Though perhaps "unfair" isn't the right word to use here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicWester Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 For me, it's normally only a problem in Huttball along the upper catwalks. Sometimes I get it when I'm trying to get as close as possible to the edge of the platform on Alderaan Civil War, but not all the time. Eventually you just sort of learn where the annoying parts are and avoid them. I completely agree, by the way, so don't think I'm trying to tell you to l2p or anything. But, as I said, once you've burned your hand enough, you eventually learn to not put it on the stove =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't have to be this meticulous when going into cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikthebeast Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 We shouldn't have to be this meticulous when going into cover. Indeed, meanwhile a commando can tip-toe around with an assault cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicWester Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 We shouldn't have to be this meticulous when going into cover. Totally. But as I said, as you play more you figure out what causes the problem most often and learn to avoid it. The thing is, you generally don't need to be that far along the ledge in the first place. Just drop into cover a tiny fraction of a bit sooner and you're good to go. At this point, and again I don't mean to make it sound like I'm saying l2p so I'm sorry if it comes across that way, but at this point it takes me more effort to get the Unknown Effect bug than it does to avoid it.

Though perhaps "unfair" isn't the right word to use here either. Melee classes can take cover, and on ledges? NOOOOOOOO!!! That reminds me. I need to log on my sentinel, hit P, find portable cover/crouch skill, and bind it. Oh crap all my slots are still full. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! /******tery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
