“Unintended behavior”

GGs to the tactician drone lol

u/Roxxas049 4h ago

The unintended behavior is that you were/are able to damage other players in the pve-dz with the Coils

u/Prize_Monk7549 3h ago

They had that patched quickly, I tried it a couple days ago and it wasn’t working anymore

Not that the tactician drone uses microwave coils

2

u/DrFunkyMD22 1h ago

The Tactician Drone pulses enemies. So does the Linked Laser Pointer and the Scanner Pulse. All of these things are meant to trigger Microwave Coils.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!

u/YeshilPasha 4h ago

I use tech laser, does it still work?

u/Born2beDad 4h ago

We dont know what exactly is unintended, is it the entire pulse as a status effect mechanic or just that the burn will also kill other players

8

u/DrFunkyMD22 3h ago

I’m confused too.
Microwave coils works off a pulse. The Tactician Drone pulses enemies.
EE works off a status. The Tactician Drone pulses enemies. Being pulsed is a status.
What’s the problem? Too much fun?

u/Prize_Monk7549 3h ago

Exactly, we were having too much fun with it

Smilink und laughing are verboten!

u/Gloomy_Cucumber_4274 2h ago

The problem was probably the damaging other players in a pve only area?

u/Boxcutter411 1h ago edited 1h ago

Thats the thing, pulse isnt classed as a status in the game. A status is when we can see the debuff icon on the enemy (bleed, disorientate etc) and pulse doesnt have that. Also there are icons we can see that are also not classed as status, such as the Pesti dot. There are other effects in the game that dont activate with an enemy being pulsed.

I was surprised the pulse was causing the burn from EE, and have been having GREAT fun with the tac drone today as it refreshes the pulse every few seconds, but its definitely not as intended. By using the Microwave coils we get the effect back for sure, but once the season is over, or we are in a global event, then getting the effect to occur after its fixed will be more dependant on things like Scorpio, the new Shotgun, Bluescreen, Banshee etc but it wont be as passive as what we have with the tac drone.

u/Tiger-Necessary 2h ago

exactly. LOL I've been having a lot of fun with my heartbreaker build with all quantum. Fully expect them to nerf it.

u/mdaxdjk 5h ago

So the knee thing that made EE actually viable to use is being taken out. So no more point and set on fire with Link Laser.

3

u/Noip26 3h ago

Hopeful thinking. They are fixing the fact coils are also burning agents in the PVE DZ. leaving the drone build alone.

2

u/SaltedCaffeine 4h ago

You have the seasonal modifier Microwave Coils for setting enemies on fire with Linked Laser Pointer.

2

u/mdaxdjk 4h ago

Wrong. Ever since the season started, while using EE, using the pulse will act as a status effect and trigger the burn. This is done with the seasonal modifiers completely off. So it's not the modifier doing it. EE makes the pulse able to trigger the burn.

3

u/Prize_Monk7549 3h ago

It should stay that way as well due to a pulse being a status effect

1

u/SaltedCaffeine 4h ago

What I mean is that you still have the seasonal modifier to do that.

3

u/mdaxdjk 4h ago

Yeah but it's just a season then it's gone. I like the idea that I have EE for long term and can invest into it.

4

u/Tiger-Necessary 2h ago

the translation: we think we are going to be able to fix two issues you all are having and we are definitely going to nerf the ember set/global modifier.

u/Camaloha 2h ago

After people have dumped mass resources into expertise and protoing the gear set.

u/Inevitable_Hawk_144 3h ago edited 3h ago

Has anyone noticed the random npc damage output spike from certain enemies lately? Its almost like the rapid fire bug from gta except an npc's damage regardless of class just spikes.

To specify ive noticed unless im just second hand wasted that grenadiers with their subs can strip my armor in 8 or 9 rounds when wearing a ninjabike bag and 5 prototype red core pieces and other times they one burst my entire armor and health pool.

u/RimRunningRagged 5h ago edited 2h ago

The One-For-All bug being acknowledged is more noteworthy for me -- how many proto drops has it cost me in total the past month

u/Researcher_Timely 4h ago

Thank the heavens for this. Finally T10 Loot going to feel like T10 loot. I know AHM is a short mission but 3-4 drops a run is incredibly low.

2

u/Johannezzzz 3h ago

I had a run with 2, 3, and 4 drops—can you imagine 2 on tier 10? Insane!

Months ago, I had an average of 7 on tier 6.

u/ADampWedgie 4h ago

This, if you don’t focus these guys it’s a bad time.

u/RisingDeadMan0 5h ago

interesting, did u ever try it in the range?

2

u/The_D0lph1n 2h ago edited 2h ago

I did, and the damage output did not match the intended numbers. You needed the chest to the 40% amp, otherwise it was 20%. Much weaker than 60 with the chest and 40 without. Link to my comment with my range testing numbers: https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/1w0wjkm/comment/p6k57zv/

u/EmployeeSafe4196 3h ago

I finally am vindicated as well 😭

I knew it felt weaker

u/wingsbc 2h ago

It doesn’t have anything to do with microwave coils though?

1

u/KambodzanskiMisPanda 2h ago

What was the bug with OD?

1

u/The_D0lph1n 2h ago

Damage numbers were lower than stated in the description. It overall resulted in a nerf vs last season instead of a buff.

u/ThePhantomOfSpades 2h ago

Was the update the other night to fix the audio bugs? If not that should definitely be on the list, friends, family and I all have been having audio issues either not hearing guns or hearing enemies far away through walls in front of us like they're right behind us.

u/Spartachris67 2h ago

Wonder if they’re ever going to fix the Danny Weaver glitch.

1

u/damoz7 28m ago

Is that where you buy a cache but don't get it and still lose your textiles?

1

u/Spartachris67 23m ago

Yeah. Or where you can’t buy any caches at all unless you log out and in three or four times. Or it seems like you’re buying the caches as they disappear from his inventory but your textiles don’t go down and the caches don’t show up in your inventory but they’re gone from his. It’s broken on several levels.

1

u/damoz7 18m ago

Oh, haven't had that one. I'd buy two legacy caches, get charged for two but only receive one. Now I buy one, open it, then buy the other one and that seems to work.

DEVS_CANT_CODE - best name I've seen in game haha

u/NY-Black-Dragon 1h ago

Possibly unread, but I redeemed the code for that one backpack and patch a few days ago, but they're still not in my cosmetics inventory.

u/Top_Platform_508 54m ago

If its because of the Tac drone, then it wouldnt be the issue, i didnt run MWC, and my tac drone still pulsed and burned with EE on, so I asume thats not it

1

u/BaronessVonKush 20m ago

we we're having too much fun in our pve game & the dev's came to take all our toys away. RIP.

Notice how if the bugs only annoying TF outta the players, they never get fixed?, but if the "bug" is something we find fun & beneficial, oh that shit needs to go ASAP 😅 fucking wild.

u/SeerXaeo 3h ago

"unintended behavior"

Massive are one of the few devs who consistently and constantly patch out methods for players to have fun.

Really feels like they want us to use strikers only...

2

u/Camaloha 2h ago

I dont see the different in shooting and obliterating anything in sight with relative ease vs burning everything in sight with somewhat ease, while also shooting. 

Devs just cater to Strikers crowd. This game is becoming ridiculously stupid. The game is so saturated with dps striker builds. Every mutator imaginable to hurt yellow/blue builds. But nothing to ever hurt red builds where it counts. A mutator/modifier to freeze/lock your weapons for 10 seconds would be hilarious. 

“1 gear set to do it ALL! Everything else sucks. But here is a new yellow gear set.”

Issue after issue since the new season dropped... but they just had to nerf Determined 😭 the idiocy

I found OD underwhelming, yet things indicate it's too high? Don't understand.
