    I was playing today and suddenly my character was covered on static electricity. Can someone educate me on what that was ?

    My guess would be the medic's shield regeneration field. It was introduced in the medic revamp update.

    Could you educate us a bit further?

    My arms...my weapon (thats all i could see of course) were shimmering with what looked like static electricity.White in color. I was afraid I glowed far too much when fighting. I ported to another area and it disappeared. I was reluctant to play given how I stood out.
    I thought I had achieved something important...but could find nothing.

    new bug, happened to me too. I was repairing when I died, perhaps something to do with that.

    It loosk cool when it happens. It's a bug related to shield regen, something affecting it (E.G. Medic field/heavy Shield) can trigger this, I believe.

    i think thats the animation when you take damage and still have shields taking it, or when your shields come back up after depletion... basically just bugged so it stayed on. happened to me once I felt like Emperor Palpatine or Rayden.

    Also having this "bug"
    Character has little lighting bolts all around his gun and hands. Didn't affect me other than that then.

    I too thought I went Super Saiyan. Unfortunately no.
    Fortunately only you can see it. You don't glow to anyone else.

    I've had it a few times, just swap classes at a terminal and it goes away. Annoying, but not game breaking.
