DUST Search - invincible uplinks

CCP Imagine Breaker wrote:

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the screenshots, they are very helpful.

First of all, the collision on that roof is not good, uplinks are floating. I will report it to Art team to improve that.

When I stand on the roof, not doubt, they can be easily be destroyed.

When I stand on the ground, I used different weapons:

1. With assault rifles, it is hard to kill them.
Because the uplink is laying on the roof and foating a bit, you must to hit the edge of the uplinks.
It is hard for assualt rifle in this distance and a PRO uplink will have 400 HP.
Yes, you must hit the edge 3-4 times.

2. With mass drivers and Forge guns, it is still hard.
The direct hit damage can take them down, but it is hard to aim.
The splash damage is less than direct hit, and the uplinks are floating a bit, you must make them inside your weapons' explode range. And one shot is not enough to kill them.

3. With flux grenades, it is impossible for me.
Because I cannot throw it that far. I may be a bad gamer. I try throw the flux grenade when I am jumping, sprinting and standing on a box, but the explosion cannot reach the uplinks(once very close, but still out of range). Sometime it will be blocked by the invisible collision of the edge of the roof.

4. With sniper rifles, easily.
1 or 2 shots can take it down.

All in all, killing the uplinks on the roof is not easy for the mercs on the ground, bad collision make it worse.

They do not die...even with fluxing. The most frustrating is using an attack drop ship...with missiles. These uplinks take 8 missiles sometimes to die if they even do die...in a heated PC I can not spend that much time per uplink. I will encourage my corp to screen shot or view some videos and mark the times. Thanks for your response and aid.

We had many pc matches were an ADS would pour into them with little effect. Often when laid they appear to be "floating". Right on the neck. When you laid these did any appear to be floating? In all honesty I have not witnessed for 2 weeks,maybe longer...our PC matches have shifted. I will ask my corpmates if this has been seen recently. Next game I am in this structure I will place there and see if I can replicate. Once again thanks for you effort in finding the issue. I swear this isn't a goose chase and was a source of madness for our Corp often.

A group of players that happen to have video capture available that meet at set times once a week/month or as needed together and hunt down some of the issues that are rising in the 'feedback' section of this corp. I realize you won't be able to replicate all the bugs and some of them are going to be pure phenomenon, but things like this seems like a group could tackle in one match and work together to replicate it.

lDocHollidayl Ancient Exiles. Renegade Alliance 513	Posted - 2014.03.12 02:25:00 - [22] - Quote Thank you. See how they kinda float...not sure if the "floating" causes them to be outside the range of the fluxes or the splash of the missiles...but it is when they are thrown on that support "arm". I wasn't on the red team to test if the difficulty of killing the links still exists.
Lanius Pulvis Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 175	Posted - 2014.03.12 03:51:00 - [23] - Quote I've seen this randomly in pubs as well. More common for me though is the top surface letting you and equipment sink in about a foot. That seems to cause uplinks that can only be fluxed, though I haven't tried missiles on these that I know of. Not new, just new to you.

Titus Stryker Ancient Exiles. Renegade Alliance 228	Posted - 2014.03.12 15:53:00 - [29] - Quote Hello, Thanks for the hard work thus far on this issue! Request: Can you test with an Assault Drop Ship? Sidenote: If possible, please keep checking various nooks and crannies as we believe that even while walking next to the link while on the mushroom, the flux nades do not seem to get rid the links. I will try and paint a picture with words: ~~Top Mushroom~~ --Mid Mushroom-- ___Ground___ Agreed, trying to destroy uplinks located on mid mushroom while on the ground is difficult and understandably so. Destroying uplinks located on mid mushroom with an Assault Drop Ship with a proto turret appears to be more difficult than it should be, and not because of flying mechanics and lack of aim but rather (in our opinion/theory) this is due to floating uplinks and some sort of glitch/bug. Lastly, when enemy is on mid mushroom, at times our strategy has been to place uplinks on top mushroom, jump down to mid mushroom and flux/shoot uplinks. However, there are times when we drop down and flux and shoot and the uplinks are not destroyed after placing two or three fluxes well within range of an uplink. Other times and uplink can take two full clips before it is destroyed. Tank you for your time and understanding. Perhaps all will be fixed when we are able to hack uplinks and nanohives and thus not have to worry about destroying them *Faction Channels for FW Staging* PIE Ground Control \| Caldari Hierarchy \| Turalyon \| Chosen Matari

I think it has to do with how the uplink ends up "sitting" in the terrain/surface. Grenades definitely fix the problem, but other weaponry seems to have a hard time registering their hits.
