Repeater Reload Speed greatly reduced

[Coldin]

I just hopped onto the newest build of Lamannia, and there's a major bug with repeater reload times.

On my level 20 Artificer / 5 Epic, the reload speed is basically going as if I did not have the Rapid Reload and Rapid Shot feats, and have a BAB of 0. In fact, it actually seems to be a bit slower than that.

They seem determined to ensure nobody ever plays ranged classes.

[Ertay]

They obviously tried to fix the ranged to hit issue, business as usual...

edit: NEW: Ranged weapons now land grazing hits.

woohoo...

[Missing_Minds]

Black screen it!

[Coldin]

Bows seem to work fine. And yes, I'm seeing hits on rolls from 2-8 again, so that's very nice.

[Skeald]

Black screen it!

Now thats funny - thanks for making me laugh

[wax_on_wax_off]

+20% proficiency bonus to hit has been fixed and is being added to the notes apparently. Anyone else seeing this crossbow attack speed behaviour?

[Systern]

Yup, my 20 arti is also reloading reeeeeaaaallll sloooow.

[Chai]

Awesome, now I can shelve my arty and start playing my ranger.

[tikwid]

same here on my lvl 25 mech rogue with both rapid shot/reload feats. This sucks, I hope it doesn't go live like this...

[Yamato-San]

Confirmed. (lvl 17 arti)
The increased reload times are simply not playable.
If this goes live, say goodbye for every repeater toon.

It is kinda funny they did not notice this... I mean, how did they test that the grazing hits are working again, internally? Did they use a ranger only?

Did they just not notice? Not play enough real characters to know the proper speeds they should be reloading at?

Poor testing procedures, yet again... sigh. Guess my arti will stay shelved, as it has been since the update, along with several other characters.

Let me make a prediction for you guys.

In the future this will hit live exactly like it is now.

Of course it will. They... 'fixed' one bug, added at least one that's already found (no biggie, we'll just keep the paid-for class broken), and it's only a few hours into the patch.

This is theoretically supposed to be live next week.

So, my bet is on 'yes, this will go live, as is'

And they will add, I dunno... let's see, what are we missing... mini-dragon cosmetic pets. And hope we forgive them for another few weeks while we wait for major bugs to be fixed.

No biggie.

Pretty sure their main test character is a level1 warforged barbarian. He is armed with a shuriken for ranged purposes, and carries no melee weapons (uses unarmed attack to verify melee animations are correct).

LOL

I could see that.

YES! The plink plink plink is OVER! Great change devs, great change!

If it was a WF they could not have plausible deniability about healing amp issues. Most likely it is a halfling

There is like 4-5 seconds between each burst on my lvl 1 arty

S....L.....O.....W............M.....O....T.....I.. ..O...N

Yeah, it's really bad. I submitted a bug report it. Hopefully they catch it before the patch goes live.
