Master Focus Bug and a possible workaround for everyone.

I noticed a weird bug going on with Focus Meters. I have the Master Focus Perk which unlocks all three focus meter bars. During battle if I die my focus meter gets locked to only the first meter. The other two will not fill up after I die and am revived by a companion.

My work around for this is to save the game and just reload. After that my meters start to fill again. If I fill all three however, and die during battle, when I am revived I lose the focus power I earned in the last two meters, and am back to just the 1 full bar. I am wearing the 30% focus meter boost belt also btw.

I tried the work around of using up that single bar and then trying to refill the bars but it stops at the 1st meter until I reload the game.

If anyone else has this issue let me know if reloading the game after a save allows your meters to fill again. This only seems to affect my character at this point, haven’t seen the issue with my companions focus meters.

HTH

  • if you have a 100% focus  belt, then you would have all three bars filled, yes? (as long as you had master focus perk)

    with a 30% focus belt, then you would have just under one full bar-- full bar would be 33.33%, yes?

    and if you get knocked out or killed, would you not lose focus and have to gain it back?

    I just answered this same question in the other thread.  I don't get your logic or what the confusion is here. 

    I have the  Master Focus perk, and a belt to help me gain focus faster, 30% to be exact.  Once my three bars are full they should not deplete until I use a focus spell or skill.  If I fall during battle and am revived I lose the last two bars and cannot refill until I save and reload, this is a bug just like all the bugs you talk about in your thread with the graphics.

    Just because you have not experienced it does not mean this isn't a bug.  It needs to be fixed as the bar should not be locked and prevent me from gaining focus points until I reload from a save.

    I have the exact same problem. I wonder why no one at BioWare has addressed this bug yet. Perhaps they just don't knoooow. Well here you go, devs, here's the low-down on the bug.

    What I'm playing.

    • Current Level: 16th
    • Class: Warrior Sex: Female
    • Race: Human
    • Specialty Tree: Champion
    • Difficulty: Nightmare
    • Perk that is Bugged: Master Focus

    As described above by Willow_Elessidil, if a character with full focus (3 bars full) dies and gets picked up or resurrected, only one bar is restored (instead of three) and no further focus may be gained until the game is reloaded (not restarted, just any save loaded).

    Can others with the problem please post your stats too to help the devs narrow this down?

    Im having this issue too, if i fill up my 3 focus bar, when i die i will get 1 bar and will we stuck with that only bar, impossible to fill the others 2 again until i reopen the game.

    Im playing Tempest in nightmare mode, i noticed it because i tryied to get focus for thousand cuts, always the same, reach 3 bars, when i get to a dragon i have only 1 charge and i want to throw the controller against the tv :P

  • YO! I bet one or more of your party members have full focus, eh? Use that *! BOOM! Gain that focus again! 

    It's not buggy, no need for a "workaround", and the Superb Belt of Focus is fine. I literally had just done this and wanted to post asap because I was just as annoyed as y'all were for the past hour or so.

    I don't know the technicality of it... something something other party members are at full focus, therefore henceforth you can't gain focus la de blah blah...

    I * love this game! I * love all of you! Maker be with you!
