Mentals' Mass Terror Spams Automaticlly .....HELP!!!!

    I can reproduce this almost everytime on my mental DPS on the USPS3 side. Im using handblasters and it is mapped to my L2 Circle.

    The bug only occurs for me if there are enemies on screen or on target. If I'm standing in the open with nothing locked onto, it does not seem to occur. What I typically do is rotate like this:

    1) Pop Mass terror then clip to menace,
    2) While menace is on cooldown, I pop Mass Terror again and immedatially hold triangle for my hand blaster combo.
    3) When holding triangle for my weapon, mass terror will either double or triple cast

    What I have noticed is that Menace seems to be the only clipable power that is stopping the double and triple cast (however even it has failed on one ocassion). However, going to hand blaster with or without casting menace will intiate the glitch and it will double or tripple cast Mass Terror. This will ahppen almost every time if adds are present.

    Also, I have had it recast when trying to cast other powers to early.

    Please look into this. Take care.

    I'm on PS3 and experiencing it, too. It's R2-square for me.

    Normally I'm throwing TKBolt with R2-X and then rapidly tapping triangle to clip the last .5 seconds of the animation with rifle grenade, then as soon as my toon ***** his arm back I clip the grenade with mass terror (R2-square) then clip another grenade by tapping triangle (it's a double tap for me, just a timing mechanic) then throwing phantom flames with L2-triangle.

    The MT bug got me wiped two-three times in Nexus tonight, though when a gas canister or damage pool popped on me, I couldn't even jump-cancel the animation to get out. Taking MT out of the loadout's a non-option for me, though. It's the heart of my rotation.

    It happens to me on my mental and fire toon. The times it happens is when I cast a power and quickly go into my triangle hold triangle combo on my hand blaster. If I cast the power and hit the triangle button quick enough and repeatdly, I keep casting the last power each time I hit triangle. I haven't experienced this on my HL toons
  4. WonderValkyrie New Player

    that was happening to me too where i did 2-3 mass terrors in a row i thought it was me hitting the buttons too fast even though it had never happened like that before, also i think the targeting is messed up i notice i keep facing the opposite way durimg attacks more often than i used to before dlc 8

    It'd be nice to get a green name on this, it's making it pretty difficult to run with this.

    Yeah, absolutely drains your blue bar. That and mt can draw lots of agro. Drawing lots of agro + stuck in animation = gray screen.

    I submitted a ticket a few days ago and haven't heard anything. Holiday weekend, I suppose. Still running with it. Our tank asked "can you switch it out of your loadout and run something else 'till they fix it?"

    No. Just no. It's mass terror, it's the heart of the rotation. An entire tree is built around hitting guys with mass terror and then hitting them with stuff that interacts with mass terror.

    My friend had been having the same issue for the last 4 days or so, and we all thought that maybe his controller on the PS3 (US player) was oversensitive or something. Then yesterday I logged in with my Mental DPS and I saw the VERY same issue occur with me.

    I have Mass Terror mapped to R2-Square, and this would occur when I would hit MT and then go into either Psychic Flames or any weapon combo. It eats up more than half your power bar, which is real bad when you're running solo missions without a Troll.

    Like so many others here, I can't run without Mass Terror, it's a Bread & Butter move. PLEASE acknowledge this mess, and then provide a fix. Thanks in advance.

    Mental player ps3 also happening to me. I look even more of a power ***** in Paradox the other night. I try and clip it with something to make it stop. Very frustrating I tried a new controller as well.
  16. Evil Hamster New Player

    EU Ps3

    The bug of uncontrolled Mass Terror repetition appears while trying to either use any non clipping power or weapon attack before its animation is done.

    Example:
    MT (R2+Triangle) -> 1h ranged charged attack (Triangle)
    ^In this case Mass Terror will have one more extra cast, and sometimes(very often) there won't be any ranged reaction from your weapon.

    Still no response on my ticket, or from the twitter account. : /

    We are looking into it. I can't get you a time frame until we track it down.

    I just tried Mass Terror today, both in an alert and on the sparring targets, and I didn't spam it multiple times. Perhaps the last hotfix unintentionally fixed things for us?

    I was using MT last night before the early morning hotfix and it was spamming still. Annoying! Im gonna check later tonight. The spam Mass Terror and the start button glitch have been around long enough.
