I didn't reload while doing the mission. Played them in one go. I'm about to go test it again to see when it actually disappears. I know it wasn't working because the damage boost didn't kick in while I was taking down a Tyranid Warrior. Damage remained under 300.
No, I was the first to initiate the attack so my HP was never below 75% with my marine. I was using melee attacks when I noticed it because I was chipping away at a 600 hp warrior for about 250 avg damage in one turn and the damage never got boosted when it fell under. Also I went through all the icons to see if the buff was there and it wasn't. I just found what triggers the drop of the passive. It's in mission 3-3 and while picking up a sample, the passive drops when you drop the sample at the drop zone with that marine. Edit: For my other assault marine I was using, it also wiped out the parry buff for his Chainsword after dropping off a sample.
Some people are so greedy.... this game already delivers a good 20-25 hours camapaign (without all the replayability).That's en par with many a lot more expensive games.What else do you expect?I bought packs just to show my support,not because i needed it.The game is way more worth than 5 bucks.So please stop that begging even if it wasn't meant very serious.It's not even funny.I had some bad luck myself and even if i did complain here i wouldn't ask for compensation. rant off Bugs can happen all the time,they can't test everything but they are obviously doing their best to iron them out.I didn't had any bugs yet. ah ok.Thanks for clearing that up
Soooo hoping the patch drops today, just lost my team's xp again to the 'finished the map, come out of app, go back in to victory but team defeated' problem. That and the melee fixes and I'll be a happy soldier ....I bet it's not today
Can you repro this issue with the missions not ending? I'd love to know whats going on, my theory is your marines are off the game board and are floating somewhere. If you repro it can you fly the camera into the 'off zones' and have a look for them? You might need to pitch the camera and check under the world. Not saying this is whats happened, its a wild guess. As for the patch; The original round of Beta testers will get access to the patch 1.1 version before anyone, they'll be able to download it through the previous beta distribution methods. This will be today, and then we can ship it.
Is there anyone that has completed all the missions on normal and still using T1 marines in their main line up? I have one at level 25 that I am really going to miss once I finally get his replacement.
He, I was not "asking" or "begging" anything and personally I don't need anything. I totally agree that the game is worth much more. So please don't jump on your high horses, and sorry if I wasn't very clear, I'm not a native speaker. This was a suggestion for Rodeo to somewhat counter the huge amount of negative comments I've seen in iTunes reviews due to bugs, and even here I've seen a lot of disappointed comments. They of course do whatever they need and want, but it's an easy gift to make and could alleviate the angry 1 star reviews that can be cruel in the AppStore for prospective buyers!
@Matt I can do it every time: get a victory by completing a map. Stay on the xp/end screen that shows your team. Now clear the app - so it force loads the same as when you've had to swap apps or anything. Now load the game. When the game loads it loads on the same xp/end screen with Victory showing but the team are defeated.
Level 1 SM Yep, feel the same way about my level 22 devastator with plasma cannon. Going to miss him, only one that's made it through each act.
So, assuming the testing goes well and you don't have to fix the code a bit more, the patch should be deployed between this evening and tomorrow morning. Then we should wait for Apple's approval, before it will be available on the AppStore, right? I don't expect to see this coming before next week, knowing Apple's waiting times for apps approval, but I'll be very glad to be wrong. I'm holding on to buying some packs until the all-tier-1-cards bug is fixed and I can't wait for the update to deploy ^_^
Promoting marines would be awesome, even if it was combining cards or rp, just so a low tier marine you put a lot of time into wasn't useless as soon as a higher tier arrives
Are those Tyrannids Guards with that alien plasma like cannon weaker if attacked by the sides? I think I remember reading something during the loading screens, but I'm not sure it's them. If you tap them you do not see the 'damage dumping' cone as you see with that damn crab like alien. Why I ask? Because one of them just decimated my squad and destroyed over 30K XP. In the end I killed him and completed the mission (Act 5 in veteran) but I want avenge my squad killing at least 5 of them with atrocity and utter rage. What an amazing game.
Well, I wouldn't be so fast in ditching 'old' tier 1 leveled up marines. Besides the fact I think a level 20 tier 1 is way more powerful than a level 10 tier 4 one, but for some skills you may never use, they will come really handy in multiplayer where things are even out. I thought about promoting, instead of swapping out, marines too...but that's the way they imagined the game (and it makes sense in the setting) And probably that's how they balanced everything too. Now I'm accustomed to babysit a fresh tier 4 with my old leveled up veterans every now and then...it's part of the fun. I thought about it...maybe when you sell an old veteran you get back half the XP to be spent on the new higher tier char? Dunno., but I do not think they will change that.
We're very unlikely to change any of the core game mechanics at this time. It's lessons learned for next time though.
@RodeoMatthew Got another one for you. Glory of Guilliman is not applying across to all Ultramarines in my squad. This might be because my Ultramarines are marked on the UI during a mission as Blood Angels however the Battle Brothers trait is applying correctly so not sure.
Something new in the pipeline already? You have laurels you should be resting on for this one, for now, at least.
