Combat Stance Bug Getting Worse

[Solarverse]

It used to be that the combat stance bug (As Reported Here back in June of 2019) and was even reported on live back around i15, would only occur if you did not have a weapon or an effect that formed around your hands when using your powers, like Fire for example and it most often happened after using Build-Up or Aim. Now, it has gotten worse. Now it affects all characters regardless if they have a weapon or not. So now, no character is disqualified from being subject to the bug. It may not be game breaking, but it sure is immersion breaking. Can we PLEASE get a fix to this?

Based on the lack of replies to your post back in 2019, I'd say you are the only one who has noticed this. 😅

Or cares even.  😞

Too be fair, I only recently discovered that hitting the ESC key turns off the combat stance. And I've been playing for a while 😁

[Solarverse]

Yeah, that still works for characters without weapons or effects that activate, however, hitting escape does not work for characters with weapons or effects. No idea why yet, still trying to figure out a workaround on that one.

I had kept wondering what messed up my character's stance, and now I know why (and also some fix to it). Thanks a lot for bringing this up.

 

I have definitely been affected by this so many times.

It’s something that bugged me massively too. Enough to stop playing as one of my characters.

This bug started on live some time back. But it started only when after you used a buff like Build-Up or Aim or some other toggle/click that utilizes the same animation. Now, it doesn't seem to matter, it just happens whenever. Been trying to get Devs to look at this since when I first noticed it on Live. Since it's getting worse and affecting a lot of players now, I'm hoping it finally gets a fix. It happens on my Illusions/Time Troller too, along with my Ninjitsu Stalker, and almost every blaster. Why the combat stance bug is getting worse is anyone's guess.

Made a video after coming across the bug again today for the second time. Gives a little detail to what's going on.

Was working on some stance related stuff for page 6 and bumped into this during a debugging session. Did a deeper dive and fixed an issue internally that I'm pretty sure is responsible.
