New Repeater Bug

[Godsblight]

Found a new bug (to me) with repeaters and I was wondering if anyone else have had this issue.

When using a heavy or light repeater (proficiency needed of course for the items) for any relevant amount of time (like 5-10 min or longer) the repeater bugs out and starts doing this.

Fire 3 bolts (full clip) only 1 or 2 combat registers (the 2 is very very rare).
reload.
fire 1 bolt but see 2 combat register (happens all the time in this type of bug).
reload.

now unless this is a new mechanic being secretly implemented, this isn't how it is supposed to work.

If anyone have seen this bug or if someone higher up in the chain of command (above player) reads this please report this to make it known to the devs so hopefully a fix can be applied in the near future.

So the new bug is that 1 bolt is reloaded and spent, but causes 2 firings?

I think you are describing the often reported missing shots bug, that has haunted repeaters since their introduction to the game, the devs claimed to have fixed it in most updates, but it seems to still happen all the time, the double strike is new though. so maybe that was the latest fix for the missing shots.

At least the double shots give you the damage your missing

maybe a dev will explain the mechanics behind the bug and if this was an intended temporary fix, until the ranged pass in U10 or 11

(they have said they intend to re balance ranged dps and add DWS II and III and redo DWS I for rangers DWS=Deep Woods Sniper PrE)

Good luck

Yeah I had this happen the other day as well....if its intentional its an interesting attempt at a fix...even though it rarelty happens.

I forget which dev said it (Eladrin probably) but one of their possible solutions for repeaters it to have it so we fire all the bolts at once instead of in succesion.

I've seen a player suggest that, but I don't recall a dev stating that.

I was wrong it was Phax that said it

U9 features are pretty locked down at this point. And firing multiple bolts with a single trigger pull will definitely be one of the options on the table.
