BetaWolf Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Was in a game earlier. By pure chance, I accidentally clicked on the Characters menu the millisecond our Barracks got destroyed. This happened: Throughout the remainder of the match, I still had access to Officer, Rocket Soldier, and McFarland. The units I could not afford (had less than 1000 credits when we lost the Barr) disappeared the very next time I opened the Characters menu. I just hope someone doesn't find out how to exploit this to continue using SBH and Hotwire/Technician. Edited January 2, 2016 by Guest Quote
boxes Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I can't see the images, do you have a link to imgur or something else? Quote
BetaWolf Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 Replaced with imgur links. Are they showing now? Quote
Idiotas Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Weird. I don't know if you will get them if you had the money to buy it, but it has to be looked into it to be sure. Edit: in the first pic you have over 1k credits and the chars stayed gray. I guess it's just a weird bug. Quote
Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted January 2, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Posted January 2, 2016 That's ... super fringe case. If they can pull it off at the exact millisecond every time just to try and get a unit... I'm all for giving kudos. I also don't think it would actually work even if they didn't ....And I'm not sure, but you are aware those top 3 infantry are supposed to be available even without a Barracks, right ? Quote
RoundShades Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Edit: in the first pic you have over 1k credits and the chars stayed gray. I guess it's just a weird bug. That is because, it checks for "if live barracks in play = true" to dish out characters. To stop people from cheating the UI somehow and the game allowing it, it would deny the purchase request server-side. It would be grossly negligent coding to just "make the icons not show up" when bar is dead but still allow purchase to happen. But the icons staying, is a UDK-latency issue. You can fire in what appears to be a cloaked stealth tank, when it is only stealthed clientside and not serverside. That glitch was REALLY cool, until realized it doesn't show as cloaked to other players. Still made a video about it. At least they are cosmetic bugs. UDK has enough latency dependent bugs that are effectual, like the Mammy Tank firing 3-4 shells at once because latency didn't subtract one from your ammo (fixed mostly next update). ....And I'm not sure, but you are aware those top 3 infantry are supposed to be available even without a Barracks, right ? He sounded like he knew, but to reinterate what Yosh said, Officers, Rocket Soldiers, McFarlands, and Chem, are all available in the death of the Bar/HoN, at twice the cost. And an additional twice the cost if the PP is also dead. The real penalty for losing Bar/HoN, is being unable to replace characters with proxy c4. After bar/hon die, and the enemy kills every last Hotwire/Tech, then you no longer have access to proxy mines or good repairs. That'll be what gets you every time... Also, if you lose WF/Airstrip, you can still buy humvees and APCs for twice the cost, and another double if PP is dead. The real loss there, is Nod Arty/Flamer and GDI MRLS/Med. Quote
BetaWolf Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 This is embarrassing. I did NOT know that. Quote
