superbot34 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) is it so underappreciated that it dosn't get fixed for 2 months, and still isn't fixed? and to the community, who dosn't utter a peep since my thread about this died that most enemies hit directly with the torid do not get damaged by the clouds currently covering them? one of the best cc infested defense weapons and not a peep from the community. some enemies can still be damaged, but it's rare and depends on the enemy and where the torid hit. something changed before update 15 that made some enemies not be damaged. you can clearly see below that the projectile hit, did damage, but then it just sits there with the cloud on it not being damaged. now imagine only having the torid on an infested defense and you had just manage to shoot an infested moa, but it jumped away and the cloud dosn't do damage to it, so you have to deal another direct hit or hope it stays in the clouds if you miss. i have not touched infested defense in weeks now because of this, as it is impossible to shoot the unnecessary infested moas in that game mod. proof of 3 month+ old bug: in case you use google chrome and it the video dosn't show (the people at google don't know how to do anything) like my bug reports on infested moas that are mind controlled that damage players with their clouds and pools when stepped in or near, or how hydroids puddle has enemies standing at the edge without falling in, or how saryn's molt stands up on clients regardless of pose, or how headshot sounds only play on hosts (which has been a bug since the game started, and ruins immersion and satisfaction when dealing headshot kills). the list goes on and on, little bugs here and there, seemingly dull and unimportant, but slowly adding up like dust particles on a high powered processor heat sink. sure, you can avoid them for a while, maybe blow on it once a year to get a bit out, but if you decide to leave it alone for months at a time without cleaning people who come to play the game in the future will be more keen on spotting these bugs, bugs and issues higher level or higher play time players won't notice as easily or care about. tl;dr, torid is bugged and one of the many bugs that may deter players from appreciating the care DE puts into every other aspect of the game. >inb4 get gud and stop complaining and let DE take care of bugs on their own time and shut up and play the free game!!!! Edit: add my atrocious spelling to the list of issues i have note: changed title to reflect now 4 months old bug.

JohnProdman Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I don't have this issue at all. I use Torid frequently and it absolutely melts everything that gets hit or walks through the corrosive clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 tl;dr, torid is bugged and one of the many bugs that may deter players from appreciating the care DE puts into every other aspect of the game. That's a bit of a big stretch there...I mean yeah it's bugged, but I don't think it'll make players think that whatever else DE does is not important.

Makya Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 try shooting an infested ancient on a high level with no mods, and watch as it gets damaged by impact but nothing else. ...Why no mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbot34 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 ...Why no mods? so you don't kill them from the impact..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ask one of the Mod team as to who changed it. Word of advice for the future though, being sassy to someone who tired to help get you visibility in the right section does not do you any favors.

geninrising Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have this problem occur pretty frequently as well. There does not seem to be a 100% chance of this occurring however. One thing I can say for certain though, at times this is not a bug so much as several Ancient Healers STACKING their defensive auras causing the weapon to hit for zero damage on all ticks of the cloud. Which brings to mind the question of why their auras stack to begin with, is that not broken in it's own right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I have found that their auras DO stack. One time with the help of a fellow Nyx and loki we gathered a massive group of Ancient Healers through judicious use of Decoy and mind control. 15 I think. WE noticed that at that point our damage was nerfed to 1 or 2 damage entirely when they were near one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fundance Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 As an avid Torid user, I was just about to make this thread myself. I'm glad other people are bothered by it too. This really messes with the torid at higher levels. It's very noticable against heavy gunners in the void. It also sometimes seems like the status chance is off on clouds hitting a direct target too.

Otenko Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 And here I thought that my Torid just was doing almost no damage because I was fighting Grineer and forgot to change Gas to Radiation, well that, and I forgot to put Serration on when I was leveling it. It's a shame to see a weapon with such a nice design and unique concept (among the guns we have) to have such a glaring problem. Especially considering that having this bug just makes it either a dinky landmine gun or an average lobber gun. Hope to see it fixed sometime.

Actually I've mained torid since it was first released. I just put off on making this thread because I was hoping that DE would fix this bug (along with Mutalist Quanta) on their own after the mesa update. This isn't the first time they've broken it. Not by a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer_Cowboy Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm mildly upset about this as well. The Torid's my favorite gun, blah blah blah, elated over remodel, etc. But yeah. Does not proc AoE damage on mob hit with the projectile, sometimes doesn't deal damage at all. Gas cloud, just. I don't even know anymore. Its ticcing less, or not causing additional damage with stacking clouds, I don't know, but it is definitely dealing less damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skintanium Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I was just using the Torid in an Invasion and I can attest that direct hits do not trigger the DoT on the tagged mob. I've landed several bulbs on multiple Napalm and Heavy Gunner Units and each time, they only took damage from the initial impact. Other units that entered the clouds were affected as usual, but the tagged unit did not suffer any DoT or procs that should trigger from said DoT ticks. To further this issue, units without a direct line of sight to the bulb but remain within the cloud's range are also unaffected by the cloud's DoT. Easily witnessed if you stick a bulb to the hand railing enemies use as cover in the Grineer asteroid tile set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00zau Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm having this issue as well. Haven't used it as much as I used to since Dmg 2.0 and the infested remodel (I dislike 'organic' weapons), but decided to slap another forma on it the other day and noticed this as well. Makes it a pain to kill stuff with a low-ranking Torid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why we need changes in the enemies that are causing this kind change in player behavior. What de needs to do is actually pay attention to player feedback. As in HIRE someone whose only job is to monitor feedback threads for recurring complaints and then allow said person to tally various bits of feedback to actually give them a proper view of the communities opinions. Now, you can't make everyone happy, but you can work towards ensuring the majority of the voices you hear are not always complaining about something in particular.

moondragon116 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 im having the same issue. i love my torid but yeah targets directly hit only receive the initial damage and no DoT. this is also the case for tenno hit by a pod in conclave, no Dot on direct hit, and since there's not DoT, there is also no status proc if initial hit did not proc. I guess the best thing at this point is just to use heavy caliber until the bug is fix if that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
