View Full Version : Fix Rifle Spy PA



Divide
06-06-04, 08:08
For some reason, rifle PA will not support itself like it used to. With my setup, my spy has 109 dex after all implants, I use pa3 which requires 115 dex, and gives 6. Until this patch, the PA would support itself after the drugs used to put it on had worn off.
I just tested this on my tank as well. HC tank, drugged to wear pa3. The tank has 112 dex with all implants, so I took an xstrong. when the xstrong wore, the PA stayed on.
I have heard that spy pistol pa works, but havent tested it myself.

KK please, even though the "fix" patch is overdue anyway, add this to the list of fixes.

in those notes, his question could have been answered, instead of having to write a thread about it.

The fix patch isnt overdue, it has been said the fix patch for alt tab and some other issues would be in the comming "weeks" and since its been just over one week, and theres been two TS patches, it'll propably be thrusday of next or somtime in the week after.

I believe that "fix" refers to the fact that all Rifle PAs had the same stats in TS Patch #204 - which I pointed out, and it has now been fixed.

I found it for him didnīt I ??

next time, Iīll just tell him where to go.. then maybe he can find his way next time he has a question...


Theyīre not posting it on Test Server Forum, so you can go around writing for that very information, on every other forum..

They already said they were gonna fix it..

Or perhaps your little paranoid head, thinks there are multiple bugs with the same armor ?

And I told him to go find it himself next time before he makes a post about it.
As I said, they are bloody posting it on the test server forum for a reason !

All that said and doen.. people SHOULD read the forums, at least to find out about stuff that will affect them.

I'm amazed that people don't even read the patch notes.

J. Folsom
06-06-04, 14:31
As has been said, it's most likely been fixed on the test server now.

As the bug with Rifle PAs is/was that their stats were all like the level one version, it's quite likely this caused the problem with it not staying on after your drugs wore off. I'll probably test it out in a minute just to make sure.

And it has been shown there were multiple bugs with the same armor !!

Who asked on your opinion as well ??

Did you give him the info he needed ??

The test server isn't an exact copy of retail, thats why so many bugs appear on retail that arent on test, AND VICE VERSA !!

Updated server to retail patch #199 level

Hmm, I wonder why they would do such a thing..

Can you read that ? or should I come read it loud to you ?
Theyīre doing that EXACTLY to prevent the different results from Test Server to Retail.

And yes, as a matter of fact, I did give him the info he needed..
And furthermore, I do/did have a spy on test server.. a poker char.. using PA 4 without drugs.. and it stays on.

PA 4 without drugs ? :wtf: :wtf:

Your answer was vague, and sarcastic...

PA 4 without drugs ? :wtf: :wtf:

might have been sarcastic, but was still truth..

you can use PA 4 without drugs as a tradeskiller.. it works with CST glove..
All it would help is to improve DEX which I belive is a part of the CST formula, and it give you a higher rank. But you canīt use any type of weaponry at the same time.

Sorry Naimex but theyve put about 3 extra patch files onto test since the #199 Synchro so THAT DOESNT APPLY ANYMORE.


Was your PA4 Rifle? Maybe it was, maybe not, in any case it was 2 problems with spy pa but one was most likely causing the other problem (like Folsom said the fact that they all register as level one on retail makes them not work since they still have the 115 dex req)


EDIT: If you were using it without drugs it doesnt matter anyway since thats not the problem, its when you're using the armor's bonus to support itself that is where the bug occurs.

PA 4 without drugs ? :wtf: :wtf:
Rigger's Dream is +6 Dex
Synaptic Accelerator is +6 Dex
Add in two other +5 Dex brain implants.
Then you have 22 Dexterity from your brain implants alone.
Add a backbone which gives +5 dexterity.
You're at 27 dexterity.
Take some drugs, get above 135 dexterity, equip PA 4.
After drugs have worn off, the +8 dexterity from PA 4 means it stays on.

It's still completely worthless for anything except showing off though, as you gimp yourself like crazy using it.

and it was applied in patch 204...

its only 1 patch ago...


Read the first post again..

he says, it doesnīt give bonus, so it canīt stay on by itself.

Again, you show no signs of reading capability.

Plz note.. that he asks for it to be fixed.. but it has already been fixed, just not moved over yet..

which means he would have to have patience enough to wait what ? 1 week.. 2 weeks ? before this patch hits retail..

If it isnt on retail it hasnt been fixed and the test server notes dont say exactly what has been fixed with rifle pa whether its the stats being wrong or whether its the fact it wont support itself that has been fixed.

Ohh.. was I ??

he says it doesnīt support itself.. which means it doesnt GIVE the bonus.

So even when he takes the armor on, he doesnīt get the 6 dex he was supposed to get, so the armor wonīt stay on..

Who was wrong again ? I think it was you...

So you are wrong dear.

There's a similar bug where you cant use weapons despite having the required dex, if you need to relog/drug for pa to stay on.

He never said he doesnt get the +6 bonus just that it wont support itself, if you care to actually read the first post correctly and without looking for something to be a sarcastic arse hole about.

You are referring to the bug, that was last seen on the Special Riggers Interface, where you had to have 89 dex to make it give bonus,. instead of the 88 it said it required..

and since he is drugging it on.. then no 1 drug is enough, so he would go above the requirements, but it still doesnīt make it stay on..

Which means that it shows the bonus being there, but it doesnīt apply the bonus.. So it doesnīt stay on, even though it should with the armors own bonus.

Which makes it something that needs a non-self supporting.
Which is what they fixed on the test server in the latest patch.

Which means that it shows the bonus being there, but it doesnīt apply the bonus.. So it doesnīt stay on, even though it should with the armors own bonus.uh huh, and this could be because they accidentally changed it that you need to the minimum dex for it to kick in?


Which makes it something that needs a non-self supporting.In english please.

Ever think that the bug might be that it doesnt stay after drugging it on even with the bonus or are can you only think of the simplist ways a bug can work?

I still dont see any relevance to the thread, he says it works once he has over 115, but when he only has 115 WITH the bonus it doesnt work.

no, this I donīt know as a fact..

but it sounds a lot like it donīt you think ?

it gives bonus, once youīre ABOVE requirements, but it doesnīt give bonus when you are ON requirements..
Which he only just was.

And the SRI, only worked when you were at 89 dex without the implant, before it got fixed. The second you hit dex 88, it wouldnīt give bonus.
