Aumaan Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I've encountered this before but today is the first time I thought to take pictures (I don't have an video capture software so not gifs). Volt's Electric shield doesn't seem to block all projectiles even while behind it. This was against Grineer. Now, to preempt any questions, there are no enemies behind me, I checked this multiple times. All the enemies were in front of me, quite a few meters away. You can actually see the shield impact damage animation in the first and third pictures. My shields were higher in the second picture because of my Kubrow. And the fact that I was actually taking shield damage means I wasn't confusing this for the bleed proc that I had. There were no bombards on the map and the damage was in small, rapid increments, nothing like what a grenade would do. I also never moved from my position.

Nachino Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I noticed this aswell and it's annoying. I hope it gets fixed soon. I'll try to record this if i get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AminusTek Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Yep, field test says it's broken again. Also did't notice cross amp electric damage from it. And it broken in PVP too. Edited May 27, 2015 by AminusTek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukaself Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 From my experience, the area covered by the shield is not represented acurately visually. In my mind it rather looks like to a flat wall than a curved one: What happens to you also happened to me on some occasions. When that occurs I usually take a tiny step back and I'm covered by the shield alright. I just discarded this discrepancy as one of the few quirks of being a Volt user and never gave it a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelisImpurrator Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Apparently Volt's shield is just straight up broken in nearly every conceivable way. I've had projectiles blatantly not becoming hitscan when fired through it (Dera wasn't even affected, apparently), Atomos 'delaying' out for a second before damage kicking in, no visible damage increase.

Prof_Blocks_007 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Don't forget about the GLORIOUS Simulacrum. It's great for testing these things in a controlled environment. Edited May 27, 2015 by Prof_Blocks_007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachino Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 BTW, it only happened when i'm not host. When i host or solo it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
