God_is_a_Cat_Girl Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) 16.9.2 broke Exalted Blade, it's using the melee weapon stance instead. Using a Prisma Skana with Crimson Dervish, and Exalted blade is using that stance and doesn't fire the waves as well. Will try other weapons and edit this post if it happens with other stances as well. Edit: Tried with the Ripkas with Four Riders equipped and Exalted Blade used that stance instead as well, again, fires no waves. Redeemer does the same thing, and during Exalted Blade you can even use the shooting function of the redeemer. Dragon Nikana makes it so the Exalted Blade sword doesn't appear and still uses the Nikana stance, yes, you use an invisible sword, and blocking is pretty much Excal waving his hands around.

roors99 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I can confirm this works with Crossing Snakes. It seems like the mod carry-over now affects stances. I'll use a stanceless weapon and see what happens. Edit: Without a Stance mod equipped on my melee weapon, Exalted Blade worked as expected, using its unique stance and firing energy waves.

RawGritz Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Jesus! Seriously. Energy waves already have enough going against them 1. sloooow travel time 2. oddly low damage output 3. Can't channel with the energy waves, meaning no Life Strike health from a distance (Glaive /Prime I love you for this) and no Killing Blow benefits from the waves etc...

Can't channel with the energy waves, meaning no Life Strike health from a distance (Glaive /Prime I love you for this) and no Killing Blow benefits from the waves etc... From the testing I have done so far, channeling seems to have no effect on any damage at all from Exalted Blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawGritz Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yes. Confirmed. Good lord! Custom EB stance attacks are gone, even when using the glaive, which looks so ridiculous. So I see the EB blade but it does Glaive stance animations. Horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pro4u.com Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Does it do extra damage with crimson dervish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobleParadox96 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Does it do extra damage with crimson dervish? Tried it and it does the same base dmg so no extra dmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidPunch Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) dang a minor "fix" to EB just ruined the entire power. They should play test before hotfixing more edit: Tempo Royal looks cool with EB Edited June 19, 2015 by HandsOfnArtist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsidiangoat Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I can't seem to preform exalted blade air slash attacks anymore, is this a bug? I played an hour or two ago and it worked fine, air slashes everwhere, now it just takes the stance of the melee I currently have, is this a bug?

B0N3M4N Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) They tried to fix something that no one wanted to get fixed(the auto channelling of the Exalted Blade) and they not only did it but they bugged the skill even more. I mean we do really have to spent even more energy for channelling a weapon that's already channeled with us and continously drains our evergy over time? Good Job DE, listening your community as ever. Edited June 19, 2015 by Redskull94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God_is_a_Cat_Girl Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Yes. Confirmed. Good lord! Custom EB stance attacks are gone, even when using the glaive, which looks so ridiculous. So I see the EB blade but it does Glaive stance animations. Horrible! I tried with Astral Twilight and I have to tell you, it looks awesome to see the sword flying around. With the Halikar, even while you using Exalted Blade you can still disarm the enemy. Edited June 19, 2015 by Sorrow0110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof_Blocks_007 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Equipped ripkas as only weapon on Excalibur. Went un mission and equupped the synthesis scanner then cast Exalted Blade. This resulted in EB using the Ripkas' Malicious Raptor attack animation with only the first strike being that of the EB. The first attack is also the only only to produce an energy wave. Also the claws themselves are extended while the energy sword is in your hand. Note to DE: This is a different bug that occured pre 16.9.2.

[DE]Danielle Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hey Tenno! Merging Exalted Blade threads here. We are aware of the issue and are currently investigating! A fix is coming soon. Thanks for reporting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takatashi Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Excalibur's Exalted Blade auto-parry function doesn't work properly. It doesn't block knockdowns from enemy heavy ground slams or grappling hooks. A heavy gunner can knock you down despite EB auto-parry being active, and ancients/scorpions can still use their grappling hooks to knock you down and pull you to them. Normal parrying blocks all of these attacks, so shouldn't EB's auto-parry block them too? This plus the energy waves are gone and it now uses the stance of the currently equipped melee weapon. PS: It seems to work fine when you have no melee weapon equipped. Edited June 19, 2015 by Takatashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epilogia Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Excalibur's Exalted Blade is not using ranged waves after the hotfix, in addition, it uses the equipped melee weapon's stance mod instead of it's own stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxCurtennoxX Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Activating it draws the blade, but it uses your melee stance and no energy waves are produced at all. In other words, it's completely broken. EDIT: Also, please for the love of god make the Energy waves scale off of melee mods (As was originally intended) Edited June 19, 2015 by XxCurtennoxX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeking135 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 While I'm using EB, it's using the stance that is equiped on my melee (Tipedo with Flailing Branch). Also, it doesnt fire any waves out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaruis Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) There's a bug whereas sometimes I couldn't use exalted blade, nor could I sheathe it. The only thing that works when using the power is the auto parry I can solve this by getting myself knocked down, but this is problematic. Source: Also, the waves and combos of exalted blade isn't working Edited June 19, 2015 by Jaruis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoiteca Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Phew.. I wasn't the only one who has that problem. When I activate my #4, blade doesn't come out, no waves, just astral twlight stance and.. attack speed is slow as hell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
