Again about the VVIP Shovel...

It's been almoast 4 months since the VVIP Shovel Obsidian Beast came out. After this one the AK 47 VVIP came out and now another one is about to come. And STILL the shovel is BUGGED. Follow-up Attack still doesnt work. I have reported this already for 2 times in a ticket and on the forum, but both are keep getting closed. No word from the GM's but "We will look into it". No, the last time they told me that the delay on the hit (RMB = 0,5 sec nothing, then hit) is "as intended by the developers" when you turn the option "Follow-up Attack" on. Eh, yes sure, start hiding that it is just BUGGED.
At least give us some answers instead of closing tickets and forums. Here my last try on this report. I'm not buying anymore VVIP's since you guys won't even fix where others and I have paid for. At least give a **** answer.

  • We can't do anything if the developers don't think it's a bug. At the end of the day, they are the ones in control of fixing bugs etc
  • As for the "Follow-Up Attack" part. That's not so much bugged as it is a bad name choice for the perk. On the CF Wiki the feature on the shovel is listed as 'Good-bye Brother' since that's the name of the perk in other versions of CF. Follow Up Attack makes people think it's 2 attacks like the VIP Axe but of course this is not the case. So that part isn't bugged...it's working as intended...just false advertising.

    As for the Delay....super annoying...but it's likely an issue the dev's were having a hard time to fix (or could be intentional as a 'power up hit' type thing) before release and is also likely the reason they changed the perk to 'Follow-Up Attack' as the way it performs currently when the shovel hits....it hits after you'd expect it to and thus could be seen as a 'follow up'.

    I agree I would love for the Perk name to be changed to something that isn't as misleading and also for the delay on the special attack to be cleared up. (for that matter all shovels have a nasty delay on them anyways..."oh hey look the swung and missed *3sec later* oh nope i died" but that'll never change at this point.)

    but yea...sadly Abel is right. If the Devs don't accept it as an issue....or rather just want to move on to other things....then it'll never change especially the longer it sits in the game and gets accepted as how it is by the player bases.
  • Finally someone who comes with a good answer. It all makes sense now, but the name is indeed misleading and I did order my shovel for that AXE Follow-up Attack though, however, too bad.
    What I still don't understand is why the GM's then don't just change the name and fix the delay on that Follow-up Attack. Also why they didn't just reply with an explantion like yours to tell that the Follow-up Attack just means an effect when the player dies by its hit.
    Yup, good support... However, it's all clear now.
