Edryk Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Please tell me if I'm missing something here. Energy Burst should consume Energy Lodes on use. I either have a visual bug or there's something not right here. See the below video. I use only Energy Burst with no other abilities. It shouldn't even be usable without getting a new stack of Energy Lode. https://youtu.be/ZwNQpl7txzs I abandoned/retrained my discipline and tried the training dummy, and it seemed to work correctly. After relogging, it's back to the same odd behavior. Edited July 1, 2020 by Edryk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post CommunityTeam Posted July 1, 2020 Dev Post Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi Edryk, Thanks for reporting this bug with the Energy Burst not consuming Energy Load. Our team is currently tracking it. For now, we don't have additional information to provide you. We'll inform you when we know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edryk Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Thanks. Here's more information after testing some things. It seems to be reproducible by changing zones or logging out with stacks of Energy Lode. Buff bar shows one stack of Energy Lode when you re-enter the game. Stacks can visually increase but damage is as if there is only 1 and it is not consumed. Can be fixed by dying to clear all buffs. Makes sense, since I wasn't seeing this in PVP. Logging out does not fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiklo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 at least it is not game breaking as you only have 1 stack... it shows 4 but the cell burst only does dmg like with 1 stack.... so its not a dps increase but in fact a dps loss... i strongly suggest clicking the stacks away when entering a phase if you want to deal dmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimarb Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 i strongly suggest clicking the stacks away when entering a phase if you want to deal dmg yes that's a workaround. but seriously....this should not be broken after a patch for lockouts etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoloma Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Indeed, there is such an issue. Was kinda weird, I first discovered this bug in pvp -- was really happy with this bug at first, but later saw that it does minor damage and basically equals a single stack of CB at 20 energy cost. The workaround is just canceling the stacks in the new phase. Edited July 7, 2020 by Spoloma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackPol Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hello, please address this when possible. This seems like a bug and it's yet another game changing bug for Vanguard, with Storm bugging out occasionally since the dawn of time. The bug has great effect on pvp and pve in VM or MM where if it happens it's a massive dps loss and might as well ./stuck. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhaxus Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 i think i have narrowed this down to occuring when you zone into an instance with >0 energy lodes. if you clear the buff for the energy lodes, you start consuming them normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaZeeZee Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 New problem, energy lodes only build like 20% of the time on rail shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLScuddie Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 If you have full 4 stacks, and hit Power Yield (which gives you full stacks with the tactical) it bugs out like this. Just click off the stacks, and rebuild them as normal, no need to swich zones or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnemonicanemone Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sorry if necro, but... I went searching for this topic and found this thread. I just had a game where the entirety of Hammer Station Vet FP was 4 stacks of Energy Load and Energy Burst was available with glowing effects the entire FP. In other words, I could spam it and it seemed to be doing full damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLScuddie Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 thats not true, power yield has nothing to do with it It's not power yield. It's the Powerlode tactical. "Increases Energy Burst critical chance by 100%. Power Yield instantly builds 4 Energy Lodes and getting critically hit while under Power Yield builds an Energy Lode. " If you already 4 stacks of Energy Lode, you enter combat, and hit Power Yield w/o expending those Energy Lodes (which triggers the tactical to give you 4 stacks of Energy Lode, which you already have), and then try to Energy Burst, it'll bug out. I've tested it multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tested it multiple times. nope i wasnt able to reproduce that... its simple if you have any stack when entering an instance it will not consume the stack but will only deal 1 stack dmg it has nothing to do with power yield / powerlode picture 1 entering combat with 4 stacks hitting power yield instantly -> stack consumed everything normal picture 2 entering the instance with 1 stack. stacking to 4 stacks not hitting power yield -> no stack consumption 1 stack damage https://imgur.com/a/R90mbAo here picture 3 not using powerlode -> same result like in picture 2 but without auto crit https://imgur.com/a/hGMX26Z Edited January 13, 2021 by Opiklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did dxun the other day and on Red I built my stacks, chucked a 'nade, jumped in, blade, misskeyed energy burst so it didn't fire, uppercut, power yield, bugged energy burst. Happens on this fight constantly. So maybe multiple coding issues? Yours makes the most sense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravna Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR, HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RESOLVED? WHO DROPPED THE BALL AND FORGOT ABOUT THIS? ALL-CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS HOW MUCH OF A JOKE THIS IS, A YEAR TO FIX SUCH A MINOR DISPLAY BUG THAT IS APART OF THE KEY POWERTECH DPS ROTATION. Someone should be fired or put on probation over this hot mess. 1+ year and this has not been resolved or fixed. Especially considering how Powerlode has become the go-to to powertechs in general which heavily showcases the aforementioned bug. Fix this bug and fire the staff member who forgot to pass this, you'll have solved a problem and saved money by removing an inept employee. P.S: If I haven't mentioned this yet, it has been over a YEAR with zero improvements or fixes on this bug.
