Update on Bossk. I've tried him out twice in GA for a longer time to see if the bug occurs. I can tell that it has definitely been improved, but it's not 100% perfection.
Basically, night vision reveals a lot of enemies, but a few times, I've seen players that didn't get marked with the overlay (and thus be incredibly hard to see for Bossk). I've recorded some footages which make it very clear that it hasn't been completely solved.
One match was pretty long and I used the ability many times, got a 54 killstreak lol. These are the more enjoyable kind of tests.
I've tested both the binoculars and the night vision attachments today and they are both still not working 100%.
The attachments
I've tested this with the night vision attachments of the CR weapon and although it seems to work better, I still can get enemies in my range in direct sight that aren't marked.
The binoculars
It sometimes just doesn't work and sometimes works. In the video below, you can see this. I try to look through the mountain on Hoth and it doesn't work. Then just before the video ends, you can see that I was able to look through the hill and see enemies. Thus still very inconsistent.
I've tried to better determine when it doesn't work and it seems to happen if you do something like the steps below. Keep in mind that I am not 100% sure of it.
Hey, sorry - as it has been mentioned before me, the tag is not visible anywhere (except emails, which I rarely check...), so I didn't notice your question.
It doesn't seem like that any fix or improvement was made. I could write a list, from "rarely ever bugged" to "100% useless":
Lando's blaster > Bossk's vision > Boba's reveal (map) > Boba's reveal ("wallhack") & Binoculars > Scan Dart.
I've played a lot as Lando, and it was extremely rare to see his blaster bugged. Same for Bossk, but it happened a lot more, and it's also more problematic, since you tend to activate that ability to get out of a sticky situation - blindness does not help with that. With Boba's reveal, it seems like that the minimap markers are more reliable than the actual wallhack-like reveal, the latter rarely ever works for me.
Couldn't really decide where to put the binos: I don't really use them, but I've noticed them to be bugged quite a lot of times out of those occasions.
And then there is the Scan Dart: that's just 100% bugged, at this point I would just simply remove it from the game and replace it with something else.
It also happened to me with the Specialist Infiltration not showing enemies on radar and with Lando's scope not applying the night vision overlay on enemy units after January's Hotfix Patch
Hello everyone! It seems that this bug has some update since the patch notes for tomorrows update (27-02-2019) included:
> Fixed a visual issue where target outlines would occasionally not show correctly when using the Thermal Binoculars as an Officer.
This is promising since it is one of the first times actually naming this bug, but the way that it is written is kind of weird. How could the Thermal Binoculars be equipped on an Officer?
Anyways, if you use any of the abilities described in this thread and see any improvement or notice the bug is still there, please comment to this thread!
Thanks,
I hope so! I played with assault 2 days ago and the scan dart didn't work. Then after dying because of that I got the specialist and then Infiltration didnt show any enemies.
I've tested the Binoculars on Geonosis GA and they did not work consistently (02-03-2019, 15:30 EST).
Sometimes they would highlight enemies, sometimes they won't. Even when they are clearly in my direct sight they don't show up, and it doesn't only affect enemy officers.
Makes me wonder if that sentence in the patch notes actually mends this bug...
Hello there!
So in one of the updates, they announced to have fixed all instances with reveal abilities, including the ones named here.
I am a bit late, I know, but I still wanted to try them out before calling it a victory.
So I tried the 2 that were the easiest, the night-vision gun attachments and the scout binoculars.
SCOUT BINOCULARS
I've tried a complete Geonosis match to get it not-working, but it always showed all the players. Very nice!
What I also saw is that if you mark someone and you die and be specialist again in the next life, the cooldown of the binoculars isn't reset. Weird.
Seems to be completely fixed this one! :eahigh_file:
NIGHT VISION ATTACHMENTS (only tried CR-2 on Geonosis 28-05-19)
I am sad to inform that this is not working, getting mixed results. There are times that everything is properly revealed, but quite often I see players highlighted and non-highlighted at the same distance in one view.
Image below shows what I mean. Here 1 trooper is clearly high lighted, but there is another enemy right left to him that isn't high lighted. That player walked before the highlighted one just before I captured this, so it is really weird.
This one is harder because someone shot a laser just when I took the picture, but behind the laser you can see an enemy that is not high lighted.
Can you pass this along, @EA_Ataashi ?
