Do anyone else's Clog walls look like a cow pie after 241?

WillRobinson · March 2013

Glad the skulk bug is gone but it seems much more difficult to make a proper Gorge wall with the new patch. Anyone else notice this and is it wad?

Premonition · March 2013

Yeah I noticed it doesnt like them being placed vertically ontop of each other. No idea how this got altered.

Obraxis · March 2013

Just before 241 went out I was placing them normally specifically testing them. Please post a video of your issue.

Just to chime in with this one, no video to hand but clog walls are definitely trickier to set up, attempting to place them totally vertical just gets an unplaceable red clog placement graphic for me. This was across multiple maps and locations. It seems the only way to place them is like so:

Gorge> \ <clog wall.

I'll grab a video tomorrow evening if no one else manages.

Thanks looking into this

yeah I had this as well, nearly every wall I try to put up, comes leaning over towards me...makes it easier for a marine to pass, and more difficult for aliens.

It seems like you can only place clogs on top of existing ones if you lean them towards you, you can actually go to the other side of the wall and do the same thing, but cannot stack them on top of each other vertically:

Have you tied looking down, jumping and placing a glog beneath you before you fall? I've used this earlier today to get up to high vents

YoungTrotsky · March 2013

Yeh that doesn't seem to work, not really a valid solution either....

IronHorse · March 2013

TY for that video ,young

YoungTrotsky · March 2013

No problemo

Kalibos · March 2013

I hope this is a bug and not an intended thing. It burns my ass to no end. I used to be able to get walls up in only a few seconds, but now it takes at least ten since I have to be standing on top of the clogs where I want the next one to go.

YoungTrotsky · March 2013

I assume the range at which you can place clogs, either absolute range or some interplay between range and angle, got changed - hopefully by accident and will be reverted since this is very annoying.

YoungTrotsky · March 2013

Placing clogs is still a problem in b243. Only way I can see to place clogs vertically on top of each other is to stand on top and place it underneath you, obviously not ideal when there is a marine on the other side...

It's known and reported

Good

It would be nice to see these things from somewhere so people wont make the same threads of the same bugs after every patch.

Farren · March 2013

Noticing it in playtests, I hadn't spoken up because I assumed it was a feature which hadn't been mentioned specifically. Stacking clogs usually leads to a small ledge between them where a marine can jump up and over the wall, and by placing new clogs a bit to the side, you can angle the wall towards approaching marines and prevent their jumping over while still allowing yourself to exit the base.

My bad :P
