if you jump when it bugs it will at least let you swap weapons. Sometimes it even fixes the blade.

Oh god, I just watched your video and this is not even the bug I’m experiencing constantly with the VB now lol. If you get the one where the blade is stuck at your side and you cant use any skills or swap weapons, JUMP, and if fully bugs it out and disappears so you can swap weapons again. GL out there Amature Game Studios is FIXing weapon swaps lul

Thanks for posting this, was about to make a video for it myself. I don’t know about you but since this patch it’s been a few things:

  1. The bug you mentioned.
  2. A lot more desync. I run a few other weapons and it’s the most noticable on VGBlade
  3. Hit reg seems to be worse than before. It was never great, but I feel like I have to be sitting on people to hit them.
  4. VG Blade now slows you down when you pull it out during animation (not sure if this is intentional or not)

Not sure if I’m crazy or if anyone else has noticed the desync and bad hit reg?

I love VG Blade, I just want it to be playable again :frowning:

Currently, I cannot attack the enemy. Whenever I try to make a light attack with a void blade, my opponent cancels my attacks with his. The enemy damages me and I don’t. This weapon is completely unplayable in pvp matches.

Better movie with slow mo. Light attack doesn’t deal any damage.

Thank you for posting. Any idea when the Void Gauntlet will be fixed?

VOID BLADE is still bugged, there’s like 4 different bugs with it.
These are the bugs i’ve seen:

  1. Void Blade skill using doesn’t activate it.
  2. Void Blade doesn’t do damage on half the swings
  3. Void Blade just glitches out and cannot be used while the arm is flickering in and out from activating
  4. Void Blade 1st slash works, 2nd slash throws orb, and repeats.

I wonder if this will get fixed, honestly VG is unplayable for this

They’ve left voidblade bugged for months, and they refuse to adress it. I expected more from AGS. They just dont care. They are more interested in nerfing void gauntlet instead of fixing the bugs so we can see the weapon functioning properly. Start playing great axe and warhammer and they might listen to you. They are so biased.

Unplayable, light attacks gets interrupted by enemy attacks randomly, only half of the light attack with the blade works in melee.

yup getting this after coming back to the game and now im leaving again as i main the VG, good work fixing this in a timely manner. ill wait a few more months before playing again.

This is honestly the type of thing that should have been quickly patched AS SOON AS IT WAS IDENTIFIED. literally breaking one of the 2 healing weapons in the game.

I’ve recently come back and this is unplayable. Needs to be fixed! Two focus weapons in the game. Two weapon slots. This should be a priority number one. Any other attribute player can swap a different weapon and wait it out, but focus users can’t (without significantly diminished returns). I’ll have to make a completely different build to do mutated because I’m just carry if I’m glitched out. (I do life staff/rapier in opr so at least that’s okay.)

I didn’t expect it left for a month.
But there is a workaround,
Hang on, run around and make one swing, only one swing.
Then switch your weapon ASAP.
You see the swing, then switch.
That’s all.

Looks input queueing is beta or alpha quality.

AGS have simply chosen to ignore this bug. They refuse to adress it. Looking for more ways to nerf scream I guess, thats more important.

AGS is too busy smoking crack or something. They would rather add yet another heavy handed nerf to void gauntlet than ever decide to fix it first and make sure it’s in a playable state to see where it stands balance wise. Don’t worry though its urgently being looked into :slight_smile:

No reply yet from AGS in this thread? This bug is totally ridiculous, I get the bug over 50% of the time that I use it, and yet in there latest video there only mention was to nerf the weapon of CC when they have already nerfed the F out of scream…AGS STOP SMOKING THAT STUFF!

There’s nothing more frustrating than having a core ability of VG just not work. It’s a kick in the nuts every time. I just stopped using it and decided to use Rapier to go with my LS.

The CC isn’t worth the blade not working.
