Death Animations Broken?

lopequil · July 2016

Since the AoY update I often see bugged death animations. This usually manifests as NPCs completing whatever action they're doing before falling over again, often this means rolling around on the floor, getting up, then instantly falling down again. There are also problems with gibbing (I forget what the STO equivalent word is); normally my Relativity rifle will vaporise targets defeated with the alt-fire but this hasn't happened at all since the update last week.

Sometimes the death animation doesn't play at all and the enemy will simply stand there until fading out as the bodies normally do.

Death animations?, yea ive noticed it as well, however their are soooooo many animations broken in the game right now i can promise you all these graphics glitches will "never" get all fixed, ever.

I called this a while ago, said these graphics upgrades which they have already been patching in pcs. were going to make the game look worse, not better.

Enemy animations are broken all over the place, mobs in walls and ceilings, pathing is also horribly broken again in many places, in some cases making missions almost completely unplayable.

I have had to solo 4028 on 2 different toons now, the boffs simply cannot negotiate the doors there.

The tailor is also badly broken, many of the uniform options i have purchased are totally unusable by these new 23c toons, that is unacceptable, entirely.

In the 23c i get it, but they are supposed to "blend in" in the current timeline, guess what.

It doesn't matter, here we go again with purchased content that is locked out by bugs, just like my $60 in Dyson ships.

Cryptic staff is not qualified enough to tackle these kinds of upgrades without turning the game into a broken graphics nightmare, many of these issues wont ever be fixed.

Get used to it, this will be the new norm, Cryptic should have left graphics upgrades alone and fixed what was broken in the game already, i'ts already twice as bad now as it was before AOY patched.

Get ready for the console firestorm, they wont deal with these issues, period.

Yay.

They all took lessons on how to do a dramatic death scene, and by golly they are going to get their 5 seconds in!

This.

It is ToS era overacting as it should be

But to be honest, happens all over the place (getting up again or simply not falling at all).

Pathfinding, yeah been an issue a long time. Pleasantly surprised redoing "What Lies Beneath". First time ever for me that all boffs made it to the bottom.

Perhap you should teach your Officers how to dance.

+1 to everything above..It is absolutely funny..After respawning I have noticed another thing..When I get up and do the fall dance, and if there is an enemy in front of me, that guys has alot of fun blasting me down and I lose my health with not even firing once because of the fall dance..
