**Request for info! All NT-Bugs**
Updated 11/29/2006 By Steveo
- Constant Barrage doesn't seem to be stacking against other players and possibly mobs as well.
- Perk specials that need the target to be already running a perk special do not seem to be working from the Theoretical Research line. Quark Containment Field cannot be followed up by the special Sabotage Quark Field that engies/traders get, thus the next special on the TR line we also cannot use.
- Status: Reported but need more information on this one, when and where it happens, a reproducable test case would be very beneficial
- In the database it says CastNano Self Affected by Quark Containment Field. This appears to mean that the NT is now affected by this and the mob is not, thus the engineer/trader would have to attack the NT with his perk in order for the chain to continue, which would be impossible anyway now, since the target should be the mob.
- Testing: Train these perks on a trader and an NT and attempt the chain.
- When affected by a DOT and layers run out, the final little bit of damage the layers would have absorbed before running out are added to the damage from the DOT tick that makes them expire, instead of getting subtracted.
- Status: Reported
- When nuking and a fumble occurs, taunt is still calculated.
- Status: Reported
- Nano Vulnerability special on Notum Source line (Notum Overflow) not working correctly. (not checked with latest patch)
- Status: More detail needed on this one
- Test case: Train these perks and execute them. Nothing happens.
- "Channeling Of Notum" Aura interrupts any nano casting at the moment of refresh. This is true for all auras.
- Status: Reported
- “Channeling of Notum” aura ends PvP grace period.
- Status: Reported
- If you try to override a lower HE with a higher HE, the NCU is calculated against the lower HE and if you don't have enough available NCU you have to then cancel the lower HE to get the new one to work. It should just override the lower HE counting that NCU in the total.
- Status: Reported
- The Faithful Nano Technician Cloak has 250 less health than the Omni version.
- Status: Reported
- When calculating range for nanos the range is taken from NT head (or NT anywhere) to the head of the mob, while guns shoot at feet. This causes NTs to have to stand closer to very tall mobs.
Another problem relating to this is the Beast and Tchu raids. These raids have weapon users being able to stand further than 40m away from the target and attack it, while nanocasters must be within the (bugged) range of their nanos to do so.
- Status: This should now be fixed, if anyone could confirm that would be great
- Flim Focus special, from the Ancient Matrix perkline, adds the wrong nanoinit. Instead of adding 10% of Base Initiative, it adds 10% of the IP cost of the skill.
- Status: Reported
- NR Debuff nukes do not have any effect on perks checking vs. NR in PVM.
- Testing: Take a mob with high NR value that will resist your perks, like Starfall chain, and cast the NR debuff nukes on it. The mob will still resist the perks.
- Flim Focus special execution makes a little "casting nano bar" appear briefly, most likely to cast the buff on the NT. This thing will, if timing is bad (which it usualy is) prevent the NT from casting any nanos for maybe 2 seconds with "Already casting" error messages. Lethal to NTs where speed (ironically enough) is of the essence.
- Testing: Train Ancient Matrix to get the Flim Focus special. Execute the special and attempt to cast a nano just after.
- NR Debuffs don't always stack on the target. Seemingly no possible reason and random occurance.
- Testing: cast NR debuff on another player controlled character and have him check his NCU for the debuff level after each cast. Seemingly random from tests done.
- The specials on the Champion of Nanocombat AI perkline require attack rating to use. NTs have no attack rating and it is highly illogical that a perk line called "Champion of Nanocombat" has specials that are not useable by the profession officialy described as champions of nanocombat.
- Testing: Train Champion of Nanocombat to a level where the specials are available and try to use them with Cyberdeck equipped.
- AI DOTs: The lowest 2 DOTs drop on Hezak the Immortal (QL300 Raidboss) and the 2 middle drop on Lord Ghasap (QL200 Raidboss). Very inconsistent and illogical, and seems to be meant to work the other way around.
- Testing: Kill Hezak and Lord Ghasap and note what they drop.
- The +% nanodamage value an NT has gets added on the damage he takes when entering underwater Adonis, Penumbra, Inferno and Pandemonium without the protection gear.
- If you are affected by the Notum Wars Crowd Control system (moved elsewhere in the area) while casting a nano, sometimes you cannot cast anything again before having zoned or relogged.
- Lag causes nukes to be aborted, some nukes not to work at all, and does not give NTs the ability to be viable as weapon users have a severe advantage due to automatic adjustment of att/rec and fire during lag. Solution: NTs have to keep pressing their nuke button. End this with a new casting system, i.e. Let a nuke be placed into cyberdeck once NT presses Q he will cycle that deck nuke until you press Q to stop nuking. I place this as bug since I felt after all this time it should not be a concern but actually be addressed.
- The Program Overload special is apparently the only special in the game that has a chance of negatively affecting the user and providing no benefits at all. The duration of this debuff is about 60 seconds, the duration of the buff is 30 seconds. The power of the buff is grossly devaluated by AI weapons, and NT damage is nowhere near the values that could justify such a debuff. Disabling the NT for 60 seconds when he is most needing his damage and toolset is absurd. 15 seconds seem more fair if any debuff should even be associated.
The idea is nice, but since this is the only implementation of it, it should go. Duration is marked as a bug.
- Sometimes when doing nothing at all, perhaps standing around and being asked for a buff, then trying to execute the nanoprogram, you get a message saying that you are already executing a nanoprogram and can't execute another. How to reproduce is so far unknown.
- Interruptmodifier in symbiants make it easier to interrupt nanos cast, rather than more difficult.
- Status: Fixed
when I get home I'll take a closer look, just thought I'd let you peeps slave a little for me first
