Yep, this BUG is very gamebreaking. I've never exposed this one due to the unbalance between light and darkside, especially considering the BUGs/Glitches that favor the DS. But this BUG is problematic nonetheless, especially in bigger modes like GA and Supremacy.
The only thing that's off in your description is the amount of Damage Reduction Finn provides to allies. At most this value is 45%, not 80%. And in HvV (which you listed as the mode in your report) it only allows for 35% Damage Reduction for allies (because to get to 45%, Finn needs to affect 5 or more allies, which is impossible in HvV).
If you want to try to get more attention to this (I can't guarantee anything, most of my reports went unnoticed through all these years), tag EA_Staff here. EA_Atic is a good choice as he has been around this battlefront 2 report forum for as long as I remember, and he's still the most active around here.
Must be when they duplicate 2 or 3 Finn's (which ive seen) the damage reduction is higher? Because what I'm seeing is when this glitch is activated no matter how much damage you do to them their health barely goes down. But even still, 35% is still bad considering they're also being buffed by Leia's shield at times. @EA_Atic thoughts?
Yeah, when duplicating Finn things can become really insane. If we have a character receiving 3 finn buffs at the same time, then this character would have an actual DR of 1 - 0.65³ = 72.5%. Add to that other DR sources like Leia's, or Chewie's, this value can increase even more.
But I think that when you say their health don't go down, it is actually due to another side effect of Finn's glitch: The temporary health keeps getting replenished on allies everytime it drops to 0. So whenever you remove the yellow temp health from an enemy, if he's still near glitching Finn, that temp health will regenerate (like if Finn just used the ability again). This will give the impression that the enemy's health isn't going down if you can't damage him fast enough to compensate for the constant replenishing temp health.
You can see it happening in this gif below:
I know this is a very old footage to bring, but the effect is the same since then
@RogueZeroRendar it's insane they left a game breaking glitch like this in the game. If I was a developer I would not be happy with myself leaving something like this in the game. Good work replicating it.
