<div class="IPBDescription">Meanwhile a temporary bug report</div>
While we're at it, where can I find a list of reported bugs known by the staff aswell?
<b>1.)</b> Any tiny obstacles that the Fade hits while blinking drops it straight to the ground.
Challenge: Go to Refinery, and try to blink into the vent leading from Heatsink to Containment, try doing this as if you had marines behind your back, in other words, be as quick as possible. You only got three tries. Go.
<b>2.)</b> Welding's progress screen freezes at certain points.
Whether you repair or build a structure, the percentage to show you the progress sometimes freezes and you would have to listen to the audio cue to see if you're finished.
I believe this happens when someone else joins you in building or repairing the same structure.

though it's something, that should be created
I do apologize that I don't know the command offhand, though. I think it's a console command.
But if you wish you can PM or steam them to me,( or email) and i'll let you know if they are already reported or need to be reported.
Thanks!
Ditto. :)
<b>@ Deadzone:</b>
Thanks for the heads-up; I'll try to find it in the command list, in their official wiki. Much appreciated.
<b>@ ironhorse:</b>
I see, it sounds little communicative and more work for both ends in the long run. Alright, thanks; as long as the bugs get known.
Was it reported already ?

I'll be able to post screenshot of that later if it wasn't reported by anyone.

You will be able to blink in just fine if you hit crouch, standing fades are <i>not supposed</i> to fit in there.
Obviously you have to duck, that's pretty much a given. If you hit any small obstacle, you will fall straight to the ground. It's even worse when you're at 60 health, low on adrenaline and got 2 jetpack marines after you.

Fades are a difficult class to play, and I could even argue that the marines you mentioned will have an even harder time hitting you if you suddenly drop straight down instead of going forward in a line. Note that I'm not ruling out that blink might be bugged somehow, I'm just saying that you have a whole lot more work to do than mention one or two scenarios where blink is acting quirky, before you will have shown that blink actually is bugged (especially seeing as blink seems to act normal in regard to what you stated in OP).
Some mechanics make Fades more difficult to play than is necessary, f.ex. changing direction on shadow step, but that's another topic.
It wouldn't help me at all, far from. They would miss a bullet or two, but I'm pretty much screwed if I get thrown to the ground trying to get into a vent. It's even worse when I try chasing a marine with a jetpack hugging the walls. It's quite well done when you're going horisontally, but vertically, it's quite a mess. Go on any map, anywhere you want. Get close to the wall, look upwards and blink.
You used to be able to press F1 or F11 (I forget) To bring that up in steam browser from the game. I don't know why they removed that.
Yeah, that's happened to me. A lot. Seems like not a game goes by on Refinery that it doesn't happen to someone. They don't like the answer when we tell them there is no unstuck command...
In all honesty, there's probably just some stray funky collision stuff in the way. I'll definitely grab a SS next time it happens.
Bug:
MACs can pass through bone spikes as if they don't exist. I tried to stop a MAC train as alien commander so that one of my skulks could kill them. I found out, much to my chagrin, that the MACS could pass directly through it but my skulk could not.
