Abilities turning off

**Roukan**

In an effort to find out why it does this, I've been testing it. I don't know if anyone else found out why, but I think it's because you take damage inbetween the ability being queued and it going off.

What exactly do you mean by "Abilities turning off"?

Do you mean moves like Dual Pistol Execution taking up your IS and looking like it's going to go off, then doing nothing and wasting a timer?

This can happen to anyone and it's hard to say what might be causing this bug.
It's when you activate a special in interlock, and it goes into queue (blinking red) but never locks in or goes through.
Sometimes activating a special on a different family timer will fix it.

no i think what roukans talking about is where you que an anbility, it gives the locked in animation (green crosshairs) but your opponanats attack goes through and you see the red failed attack icon over the ability, it has happend to me on far to manyoccasions in pvp and duels SMILEY

**Roukan**

Example: You click Dual Pistol Execution in interlock in a pvp moment. Zionist A is shooting at you from outside, and hits you twice before the round ends. The next round starts, and the ability flashes but doesn't fail or succeed, and takes IS.

From speculation: It's either server lag not recognizing you pressed the ability, or it's the damage turning it off.

Oh tht's a bug I've seen in MA too (tho very rarely). The worst case is if all ur abilities constantly do that. They shud fix it when ppl have queued and ability and get powerless or stun or tht happens not to lose IS!

Ooh I think this happens to me a lot when trying to do the Tomo Nage thing from Aikido! I thought maybe I was doing something wrong but sometimes it works and sometimes it just stops! SMILEY

... not that it's much help, but I've had this happen as well. *shrug*

if you mean where you hit an ability it shows that it's gonna take up IS in the IS bar, but doesn't attack so you have this little orange bit in yer IS bar then I wouldn't have thought it's due to damage interuption. I don't think it affects abilities that you have lined up so I would think it's either server lag or a bug with the UI

No orange bit. Just takes IS.

I had the same problem with Tomo Nage. The special went all green, I did the animation, but no damage was done and that round of interlock didn't even show up in the system window. I tried to get it to happen again, but couldn't reproduce the problem.

**Kemy**

I hate this bug. I have no idea how to reproduce it though but from what I've seen it happens when I click another special in 1 round. Don't know if that's the reason because most of the times it just switches properly and the special I actually want to use lines up and starts blinking.

Not same bug....
Good to bring tht up too tho.

I've noticed this bug A LOT more today. On both my recursion characters. In the morning, Machine Gun Kick wouldn't work at all. Not once. Then it was Wooden Dummy drill. On my alt, Guard Breaker didn't want to go off.

It's like it cancels itself right before it's supposed to show whether it worked or not.

**Pylat**

I agree, and its affecting more and more things. When levelling my alt my consumables stopped working (Pills, boosters, Stakes, water and silver bullets).

Now abils don't even bother to register. I click on it and nothing, I mean NOTHING happens. No IS drain, no flashing symbol, NOTHING. It's as if the abil wasn't even being clicked on. At first I thought it was my hotbar but I can't even activate them from the abilities menu. And once they are bugged like this the only way to get them back is to relog. The REALLY annoying thing is if I click on the abil when it is greyed out (IE using Aerial takedown when they aren't off balance) it will tell me that I can't use it because a certain criteria isn't being met.

*CENSORED*?!?!?!

Can SOMEONE please tell me whats wrong.
