Jim precision stacks are broken

[jtomb]

They either decided to make it so the buff from precision kills no longer show up, or it doesn't work anymore.. Pretty sure its broken.

After the hotfix i believed it broke, i just remember playing jim and not getting any stacks even though i was headshotting and not getting hurt.. Kinda defeats the point of the character don't ya think?

If I remember correctly there is a grace period before the next stack can be applied, maybe that is the issue?

Just had no problem getting stacks, dunno whats wrong for you

I am deeply upset by the fact that this is apparently either a nonhost thing since I play quickplay a lot, or some other type of thing. My head hurts now. I sat back while waiting for everyone to shop, and still no stacks.

I am not trying to be a ♥♥♥♥, but i said no stacks show up anymore in my intro above. I have also tested it to ensure im not on crack, and still no stacks showing up in the bottom left.

Nah, youre not being a ♥♥♥♥ at all.
You're frustrated and I get that, I just read the title, then your post, then the title again and it said 'stacks' so I was a bit confused if you were getting one or none at all.

Works for me sadly, don't know what I can say to help.
I play quickplay also and also am never the host if that helps and I still can get the stacks.

@everyone IT WORKS IN SOLO MODE, SO IT BREAKS IF YOU ARE NOT THE HOST.
Currently seeing what else might play in as a factor, because it did work in quickplay once in a while.

Ok I only have a guess on what causes it, because i literally just kept joining a bunch of different people. If for whatever reason you guys have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ connection among one another to the server, the stacks will not work. I had them work in other lobbies, so its completely random if and when it will happen depending on the server gods for you.

I am playing from South Korea and I use a VPN so I can have english speakers and normally have roughly a 150 to 225 ping (which surprisingly and shockingly not bad experience)

:| Dont know why it isnt working for you

If you have the card that shows dmg numbers and enemy health bars, try using it to determine if your weakspot damage is actually increasing after a precision kill. Even if the stacks don't appear visually on the UI, maybe they still stack up.

How the quickplay or drop-in bug works:
1. You drop in, finish the stage, choose your character and deck
2. Your passives are gone. Doc won't heal, Evangelo won't escape, nothing works.
3. Check your active effect cards. You will notice the bot's previous passive card is still in effect. This might be because the game does not take away previously added team effects. You might have the bot's previous passive, meaning you're playing as Evangelo for example, but actually have Mom's passive.

So its a entire "deck/card" bug that just enforces me to not have the characters card? You know what does make.. a lot of sense. I never thought to look at my cards cause uh, its part of the character in my mind atleast.

I... I just want to know whyyyyyy would that be a thing.. Whatever they will fix it sometime i suppose.
Thanks for the info, now I hate quickplay.

[Whispers Murmurs Voices Purpose]

lots of other games i'd call user error, but since this is b4b...
just had some quickplays where i went over into the next mission, retaining the bot's deck and not getting to choose my own.
the one after that i joined into the last mission of act 1, at which point you're supposed to have your entire deck picked. i got 7 of my first cards dealt and then got to choose 1 more, that plus the team's cards made up all my active cards.

this game's pretty much an unfinished mess, but all this stuff is known at the very least since the last """beta""", or rather: the developer's attitude towards "i wonder if we should only deliver the minimum viable product," should be pretty much known since EVOLVE.

No surprises here, to be honest. You're not gonna get the issues you have with this game resolved anytime soon - settle in and enjoy.


edit: just had a finish screen with 6 survivors showing and someone saying "wtf 2 hollys" right before the mission ended.

its a bug with quickplay. sometimes character passives don't work. it happens to every character. It's the most upsetting on Evangelo when you expect to be able to free yourself from a grab but can't, and you don't find out until you need it.

I play with friends without personally being the host and it seems to work fine, certainly don’t get every stack it feels like I should but I’m still getting them. Could be just your connection but it’s nothing inherent to not being the host

Its already been discovered that its a joining issue with the cards, you will have the bots old cards or a different card, if you started as the character its fine.
Connection would not have anything to do with it if i am already playing the game
