Another bug report from Mr. "Yermanmeyer"; Buccaneer's Energy Orb: It doesn't seem to be causing any damage to the mobs (tried it at skeles), even tho the visual damage above is showing EDIT: Detailed information added in from another thread
Update: This is Energy Orb in action, right? (Albeit with terrible damage, because my test-server character has mage stats!) If so, then yes, it works on the test server, although not on the live server. It appears to hit up to 6 enemies or so over a fair distance (and sometimes on multiple platforms) and does actually damage/kill the enemies. For a more in-depth report on the problem with Energy Orb on the live server, go here: Knuckle Pirate Defect Report. So, once again.... handing this over to the rest of the staff and to the server's Buccaneers!
Next update: Nuclear Cow has confirmed that this skill does indeed appear to be Energy Orb and that it appears to be working as it should. Which leaves us with the question of why it works on the test server but not the live one...
Well if it is working on the test server then it should be working in the next server check. I did make some changes to a file which deals with dealing damage recently.
Do you think that change would also affect Mana Reflection having the same issue? (shows dmg but doesn't do it).
Confirming that Energy Orb still behaves the same after today's server check. (Shows damage, does not apply it)
I'm not sure Bri, but I can check it out on the test server to see if it has changed. Could you let us know if it is still broken ingame following the recent server check? T_T Thanks very much for letting us know. We'll keep you updated if we manage to figure out what's going on here.
Can any pirates confirm if this has been fixed due to some changes that were made in recent server checks? Thank you.
Checked again just now. Can confirm the skill has not been fixed and behaves the same as it always has.
Does this skill really have priority though? Afaik this skill isnt actually used for DPS by any bucc, as it is inferior in any way to dragon strike. I hope I'm not being rude when I say Speed Infusion (all be it more difficult to fix) is miles higher on the fix priority list for the buccaneer class...
It replaces Energy Blast. And no, you make a point. We just want Energy Orb because it has a better mob control and higher damage output when compared to Energy Blast.
I was just wondering if it was fixed since it was apparently fixed on the test server, and had copied some files over which may have now fixed it but apparently it is not. I know that speed infusion is a more important skill. Which is why I have spent < 1 minute attempting the fix for this skill, and spent well over 3 or 4 hours trying to fix speed infusion to no avail. Edit: Probably more like 6-8 hours actually.
I can confirm that this skill still doesnt work after hearing that speed infusion is pretty much impossible to fix...at least this should be, its pretty cool skill with nice range and damage and its fun too
Could anyone let me know whether or not Energy Orb is working properly since the Zak Fix/Anniversary update? When I was doing some preliminary testing prior to the release of the updates, I actually managed to get the skill to work on the live server. Even if it doesn't work yet, I'm hopeful that we might be able to find a fix, for the abovementioned reason.
Thanks very much for your prompt reply, Jack, and I'm sad to hear that the update didn't fix things. =(
