Free Rotation...Stoker...Seriously??

Why put a merc with such a bugged ability on free rotation??

SD please :’(

(Your worst knifemare.) #2

RNG decides that too?

Now it looks like i wont be able to play as Sparks for a month. :expressionless:

Molotovs man.

Not hot enough to burn the enemies!

(Herr_Hanz) #4

and here you can see our biweekly ‘this rotation sucks’ thread, please take a picture and move on.

This one is legit though, “here you can use this merc but his ability is glitched lolo”.

(Jostabeere) #6

Do you really think they make him unplayable till Summer Squash 2017?!

(BananaSlug) #7

it only doesn’t finish downed enemies, right?

(SaulWolfden) #8

I’ll be amazed if the next patch doesn’t fix his molotov.

(Your worst knifemare.) #9

And you cursed us to an eternity of broken fire.

I haven’t used stoker in a while and haven’t played him enough to known most things about the molys, so I don’t really know how he’s doing atm.

Most notable thing is the damage reduction and the fire won’t gib downed players

Arent most mercs bugged? Fraggers grenade sometimes disappears. Kiras Laser tracks herself. Artys marker doesnt connect with certain surfaces, Phoenix’ Healing Pulse gets stuck and keeps charging, the glow around Auras healing station disappears and probably some others.

I know they are not that grave and dont happen all the time. But if you want only bug free mercs in the rotation, there wouldnt be a lot of mercs to choose from.

Sparks is the only one who matters now.

Look how bright she looks compared to Stoker and Wacker.(they cant even look at her)

I mean, they need to advertise her in some way. Noone plays her.

This is true. Since free rotation benefits new players the most it seems like such an obviously bad decision to highlight ANY merc with serious bugs. #playerretentionproblems #facepalm

The molotov likely will be fixed in the next major update as Shoe has indicated. Still doubtful all the issues introduced with the final summer squash update will be fixed in the next major update which would be disappointing. Hopefully DirectX9EX support will cure all that ails DB at the moment.

As for Stoker…

Molotov not gibbing incapped enemies was listed as a fix in Summer Squash III notes. Instead, molotov never gibs downed players, doesn’t deal damage to generators, and deals damage to players intermittently. As with other throwables, the molotov sometimes doesn’t throw despite the animation completing on screen.

We must simply teach all the free rotation sparks whos king of them all.

Better Stoker than Vassili tbh

Most of these bugs weren’t even in the game until the summer squash. I know some were old bugs, but they shouldn’t have came back. All of them together really make the game annoying to play.

I’ve noticed Kira’s laser just has multiple problems from tracking herself to disappearing entirely (and not reappearing).
