Paris Acting Goofy Or Nerf?

[GetBrocked]

So I used the Paris recently and it's been acting kinda strange.  Ignoring the strangeness that is the multishot quirks and damage numbers; it seems like when you're moving, on uneven surface, scratching your &#! or really anything the shot arrow has a chance to complete go somewhere other then where you are aiming. It seems to be most common when on a uneven surface or side strafing.

While certain parts are obviously bugs it kinda does sort make sense to reduce this guns effectiveness while moving.

 

Anyone else notice this?

"it kinda does sort make sense to reduce this guns effectiveness while moving"

 

No it doesn't make sense. When none of the other weapons act the same.

I've noticed it acting a lot like Ash's shuriken where if you aim at specific spots it shoots in random directions.

I've not noticed that yet. I have noticed that the Rifle test (kill 30 people) doesn't update when you kill someone with it.

 

Though it does have a slight arc at longer range.

Just encountered a weird instance where the arrow shot 45 degree angle (ish) from where I was aiming. Also when shooting at Vay Hek my attacks with the Paris were not being displayed via the pretty numbers. My melee and sidearms numbers appeared just fine.

i think the bow isnt broken it just has a slight shot variation of .000000001% or some insane persent like that. which alows it to shoot crazily at long ranges or while moving and stuff like that

The Paris does sometimes shoot way off target even when the reticule is on it.

Highly likely some sort of bug introduced with the patch.

its happens with all weapons if you try to aim in a "Staircase"

I actually tried to replicate this bug: it happened to me with almost 100% frequency if I tried to shoot with RMB-aiming into a room from the outer edge of a vent tube on the Grineer Asteroid Base map type.

I guess it's somehow connected with camera placement.

Weapons with actual projectiles do have an issue to where, if you are moving and your character moves onto a different level plane, the shot will go askew. The Boltor/Bolto weapons have this issue, but aren't that noticeable because of the rapid fire nature and natural recoil spread of the weapon makes it unnoticeable. Ash's Shuriken and the Paris arrow are the more noticeable culprits.

 

In other words, if you are aiming your Paris and side strafing, and step down onto a set of stairs, your arrow will not be where your reticule suggests.
