paowee Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) EDIT: Added diagram. How to deal with the data core bug: >>> http://i.imgur.com/h2Mo1gB.jpg <<< _________________________________________________ Are the Data Cores still bugged and take ~no damage from AE abilities like Rage Jugg Smash, Sniper Orbital and Scatter Bombs and Sorc Death Fields? This bug has been around since since ~1.4 (others have reported it) up until Patch 2.0 (where i saw it for the first time on my Sniper and Jugg). 5/21/13 Bug report forum 5/20/13 Heroics/FPs/Ops forums I think the only people who have done this fight in NiM are the guys from DnT. Did you guys notice this happening at all? Any info is appreciated. Edited July 10, 2013 by paowee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbak Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I was using orbital on cooldown but didn't go out of my way to check. certainly felt like it did but a fairly nebulous answer is the best i can do Did you guys get DG's then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope they called it last night after 2 hours when Eudorus had to leave and they swapped in another tank (who was doing it for the first time).

The data cores take damage but you have to position your AoE's reticle at the exact spot. This can be hard to do as a Rage Jugg, especially hard as an Engineering Sniper, but can be somewhat offset IF you position the center of your (Death Field and Orbital Strike) reticle a few inches towards the middle front of the Data Core's center.

umbak Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I always wondered if rolling against a core with scatter bombs would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paowee Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) I always wondered if rolling against a core with scatter bombs would work It did work consistently but only in the PTS. In LIVE, no. Edited June 16, 2013 by paowee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansalem Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I personally didn't use any aoe on the cores so I couldnt tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSunrider Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I still run into this problem pretty regularly with my Balance sage. Missed FiB is big, two misses is huge--the difference between killing a core myself and needing help. I've used several different tips as read on these forums, and I still can't get my "accuracy" to 100%. Every time it's my turn to hit cores, I wish I was running a sentinel.

paowee Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) The bug is indeed still here. Roovin sniper confirmed that the Data Cores in NiM Operator IX still bug out on AE abilities. Only 1 out of his 3 Orbital ticks dealt damage. Please fix, this has been out for a long time now. Edited June 17, 2013 by paowee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paowee Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I was finally able to get into NIM TFB and did NIM Op9 last night. And the data cores do not get hit by Orbital sometimes. Same with Scatter Bombs. Edited June 25, 2013 by paowee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 orbital ticks hit the same exact spot, but only 1/3 is hitting, ha! Needs to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paowee Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I made a diagram >>>> http://i.imgur.com/h2Mo1gB.jpg <<<< to show how i can almost consistently get ground targeted AoE to hit. Other than this the AoE will hit but won't do any damage to the data core. If anyone knows any other "sweet spots" that would be great! p.s. this doesn't work for non ground targeted aoes like smash, scatter bombs and flamethrowers. it can work once in a while but it is incredibly hard to duplicate.

Falver Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah, it's really pretty messed up. I've given up running engineering/saboteur for that encounter when I really want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried something like this? http://i.imgur.com/h2Mo1gB.jpg It'd be great to get confirmation from more people. So far this is how me and guildie Sniper try to deal with it. I still miss on it a lot though. Edited July 10, 2013 by paowee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it seems the core's hitbox treats ground targeted aoe different to how it treats point blank, frontal or such. Makes me sad to see an incendiary grenade hit with all ticks, yet have only one scatter bomb hit when I'm dropping every single bomb inside the bloody IG fire. Roovin sniper confirmed that the Data Cores in NiM Operator IX still bug out on AE abilities. Only 1 out of his 3 Orbital ticks dealt damage. . This really shows how unreliable even GTAoE is, though. All ticks from one orbital should hit the very same place (should being the key word ), and the fact that the above happens really highlights the issue.
