Crysis Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 According to this Focused Feedback thread, this appears to have been addressed via some changes to the No Redraw options in March Page 5. However, invisible Katanas for Katana scrappers remain. The player themselves can see the weapons but to other players it appears I’m wielding an invisible weapon.

Cinnder Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Bump. I've been duoing with a katana scrapper, and this happens a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't bother asking if people can see my Nin/Nin's sword any more. I've just grown to accept my sword will only be visible during an attack animation. Were our swords even there to begin with? These thoughts keep me up at night. 3 hours ago, thethirdman said: i am like 99% sure this is never getting fixed It does feel that way sometimes. opossum haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentx5 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 This is still happening on my Katana scrapper. I see this: But others see this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srmalloy Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 There is only one katana in Paragon City, and if someone else is already using it, you just have to mime wielding it until they put it away, and then you can use it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greentea Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) So...are scrappers the only AT being affected by this bug?? I just rolled katana/rad brute a week ago. I plan to play him this weekend. I need my flashy sword to show off 😉 Edited August 7, 2020 by Heliodorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-Six Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 If you can see it when you play your toon... what does it matter if others can't? My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giovanni Valia Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I made a katana/ regen scrapper and have also been afflicted by the invisible sword bug. This is really grinding my gears. 😔😥 Changing the katana weapon at tailor does not seem to help.

Ry Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This bug is so old, sadly it never got fixed on live because the game was shut down before the devs had a chance. Its the only thing stopping me making a katana character. And I REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY would like to make one. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modest Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The only reasonable conclusion that I can come to in order to explain why this bug still persists is that one of the developers was emotionally traumatized by a katana in their childhood. In response to that deep-seated trauma, the developer caused all katanas to remain appear invisible to others. I would also appreciate it if this bug were to be fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just encountered another reason why it matters: NPCs have this bug also. Was just fighting some Cult Worshipers in First Ward who use the sometimes-invisible katana.

And I'm not trying to prove your version of reality/game play is wrong. I just simply don't understand it. You have a toon. You have a costume (which involves a katana) When you play, you're immersed in your character. When you fight YOU see your katana, so suspension of disbelief is upheld, the fantasy is propagated. I team with you. I don't see YOUR katana. Other members don't see YOUR katana. Why does it matter so much what we see or not see... and how can you be so sure we don't see it? Do you get enough comments about it to warrant such a request? My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-Six Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Wow really? Sorry to hear that. In that case, I hope you get your sword. And there is hope. There was a similar issue with the Ninja Mastery for sentinels where even the player can't see the katana (nor was there a choice even to pick one). I believe this has been fixed. So there is hope. I was just thinking a while ago that I play on an ancient computer that can't handle the higher graphic settings (actually struggles with the low settings). So I don't see some of the glowie bits of people's costumes, I don't see the city in ultra-hd, I don't see most people's powers in their full glory. I must be missing out on a lot. I suppose my head fills in the gaps. My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The katana is visible when in the combat stance and then invisible when they attack. This is just something I've heard though. Now given this bug only breaks immersion and not the flow of gameplay, I can't see it getting fixed... At least not anytime soon. 1 opossum haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
