Is it just me Or is there a bug or lag that makes Mines despawn? Had a Biolab fight the other day, i left i shortly to help at another location, returned saw my mine makers just vanish with no enemies around(fired infi dart around their location), no explosion
i had the very same impression like you but i witnessed something 'strange' today: i dropped some mines at hvar techplant and completely forgot about them. then, 20-30mins later, i was in a biolab fight at allatum, and suddenly i get an anti-tank ribbon. 'for what' i asked myself. i managed kill a prowler including the crewman with them. so, it appears the bug of disappearing mines only happens randomly? i dont know, they need to look into it though
Had a similar thing happen yesterday, only with a twist. Was rolling a Mag out in the middle of nowhere and got a gunner assist... asked him about it and he said it must have been a mine kill. Got the assist because he was in the gunners seat when he got the kill.
Yep, mines are disappearing on redeploys. Tried multiple times laying AT and Prox mines at crimson buff, redeployed to quartz ridge, came back and that'd gone. This was with zero opposition all that time.
Damn i think your are right, this needs some work now ffs ..... I have wasted far to many INF res since the hotfix
Lol, I was losing it, yelling at nubnub team mates for destroying my well placed mines. Until checked with empty bases.
I've sent bug reports on this, back in February, and have been told by the support folks, that is not happening. Good luck getting them to fix it, probably right up there with the engineer AI mana turret.
As prolific mine layer with 1400+ proxy and 400+ tank kills. This is a serious issue that needs immediate addressing.
Yes i saw the makers despawn when i redployed back to the empty Biolab(3AP and 3AT mines around the SCU gen)...
No they are definately disapearing on redeploying to another base (and possibly on just moving a set distance away). This seems to be a pretty new thing for me, never had it happen until recently.
Redeploying doesn't make mines disappeared Put two AT at Stronghold and redeploying at Quartz ridge camp. After 10 min or so I got a lightning kill Probably it's being disarmed or destroyed So many aspect for a mine to disappear IMO 1. Max walking over AP mine 2. Someone saw you put it from long range and snipe it 3. Destoyed by AOE 4. Friendly shot it just for fun
I know there is alot of things that can take em out m8 But there seems to be a prob when redeploying, it does not happen all the time, but there is something going on imho with Mines despawning after the hotfix
Did it at an empty base to check, there seems to be a minimum distance, but over that they are disapearing (or were for a couple or weeks - whether SOE have fixed it in the last couple of days, dunno).
After playing this afternoon, i think i got a bit closer to understanding this Conudrum, still not sure if ranges to where you placed your Mines plays a roll. But i think class change do play a role also, had another Biolab fight today, placed my Mines arround D, changed to HA and Boom!! they where gone This could not have been an enemy, since the Biolab was empty(saw it on the map pop indicator) when i changed to HA to help clear the bases arround the Biolab....
I've had this bug with claymores, they "disappear" when changing classes. But don't worry, the mines are still there (I've gotten the kills) even though I can't see them anymore. No idea if they disappear on the enemy screens as well (I hope not)?
Went to Amerish. Saw the TR near an outpost, so I deployed there and planted antipersonnel mines in a few spots. Redeployed to a nearby tower to help defend it. Went back to the small outpost after the tower defense and my mines are gone. No problem. I've seen my mines get destroyed or someone wear flak armor. So I went to another outpost, threw out some mines, redeployed to the next door amp station, realised I forgot something and went back to the outpost. Antipersonnel mines are gone. I was only gone for a few seconds. This problem wasn't happening earlier in the day. I was racking mine kills while strategic plantings like I normally do. But, tonight, my poor mines are vanishing. Edit: so, I decided to camp my own mines by staying in the region after I planted them. Two mines and two kills. They seem to not vanish on me as long as I stay in the same area with them.
Are you sure they didn't just sink into the ground? Try walking over the place you placed them(if they are gone) with a character from the opposite faction. If they blow up and kill you, they're still there; you can't just see them anymore.
