LascarCapable Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Tested against the infested, with Soma Prime. Without shield : With shield : It's pretty game breaking, considering that the only thing that kept Volt as a viable choice was its shield. I hope for a fix as soon as possible. :) EDIT : the issue is related to punch through on hitscan weapons. I noticed this bug too after update 17.4.2 and today i found out something really interesting. Electric shield seems to work just fine with weapons that are:a) projectile based (any bow, boltor, ballistica, hikou etc.)b) pure elemental (gammacor, amprex)But wait ! that's not all ! Electric shield still works with normal weapons too but to make it so You have to remove any punchthrough mod on Your weapons. Two images showing soma prime vs. lvl 20 corrupted heavy gunner both with and without Shred mod:http://imgur.com/83D7Aby&dTm7cleDE has been constantly messing around with Electric Shield and it would be real nice if we could just stop breaking and fixing it every few updates.

Clawtank96 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Being a Volt Prime main this needs to be fixed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LascarCapable Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Still a thing since 17.5.4. Tested with Soma Prime and a Grineer Bombard. Without shield : With shield : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kainosh Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 DE said they are working on it. They removed bonuses a few hotfixes ago... There https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/526883-hotfix-1742/?hl=%2Belectric+%2Bshield It takes freaking long though. Maybe they doing complete overhaul for Volt. I mean there were lots of threads about "Volt rework" (D20's my fav). Maybe they gonna do him after Saryn and....that other frame they doing right now.

So the issue is about punch through ? That makes sense since I put shred in a bit everything. Thanks for clarifying. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kainosh Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Still....There was nothing in the patch notes about his shield. So i assume its still in "broken" state. Waiting for improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LascarCapable Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Let's wait for hotfix 17.5.6 then... Or 17.6 : it depends of DE's plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
main_antagonist Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 While they're at it they could fix punch through breaking the alt fire for paracyst and harpak >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotsender_Quasimir Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 ... DE has been constantly messing around with Electric Shield and it would be real nice if we could just stop breaking and fixing it every few updates. So very much this. I desperately hope they're not reworking him completely when all that's maybe a bit lacking was overload. He was in such a solid spot for such a long time... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LascarCapable Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 While they're at it they could fix punch through breaking the alt fire for paracyst and harpak >_> Please make a new thread for this. They surely won't know if your bug report is hidden in another bug report, better make them aware as efficiently as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaustiCat Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Update 17.7 just landed and still no fix for our bug. The whole update was a little underwhelming tbh. One new helm, one weapon pbr, new avatars and some minor fixes ? More like an hotfix patch. "- Fixed punch-through Mods disabling the Harpak and Paracyst’s alt-fire."Well now they are just being rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I've been waiting for that fix since update 15.5 have a look at the release date for the Paracyst. I'm sure they'll fix volt soon enough in comparison to the punch through problem existing since 15.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimolette Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) That moment when you Ctrl+F and type 'volt' on a new update page. Still, nec minit, they fix the electric shield bug with the introduction of his rework... Edited October 15, 2015 by Acreox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzle22 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Volt's Shield has some other issues as well: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/543824-volts-electric-shield-bugs/#entry6105496 Gonna spam my link in every update post hoping they at least fix the first part of my request, which should be an easy one...

lukaself Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) You can add the Ignis to the list. I tested it today to try the flamethrower's Buff and I was disappointed to not Proc radiation instead of fire when shooting through my shield.

Dizzle22 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 They have not fixed the issue I reported either. Honestly the "Volt Rework" could just be an end to all these bugs and I would be happy. And I say that as someone for whom regular Volt is still shown as my most used frame (though, prime is finally cutting into that), and he was not my starter.

counterflux Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 This will be fixed next Hotfix. Will this also bring those new shield/range interactions we're waiting for so badly? If not, can you please say you're still working on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
