Bug Description:
Many cases reported..but I saw this firsthand. A hivelord got blasted with a flamer but did not get lit on fire. There was no flaming sprite. The hivelord told me he was only "Burned." He also told me that he was emitting recovery pheromone which may have something to do with it, but crushers don't have that and they sometimes don't get lit on fire.
Steps to reproduce:
1.Be hivelord and emit recovery pheromone?
2.Be blasted by a flamer midrange
3.Not get lit on fire but only "Burned"

Re: Flamer does not light aliens on fire
This doesn't just occur with hivelords. I've seen it happen with crushers and some hunters and spitters. They were directly hit by an incinerator blast, but did not catch on fire.

When did you see this occur? A fix for that bug was merged in the last 24hrs or so.

Re: Flamer does not light aliens on fire
Not sure if related but I've used the mini flamer a bunch and have had trouble even lighting runners on fire when I blast them directly.

This was around last week. Didn't realize there was a fix, so my comments might be invalid then.phil235 wrote:When did you see this occur? A fix for that bug was merged in the last 24hrs or so.

Re: Flamer does not light aliens on fire
This isn't a bug.
Forward Slash, RIP, nerfed Incinerators heavily from their first buff that insta lit anything it hit on fire both marine and alien wise on top of killing you in seconds.
He made it so that there's now a RNG chance of you being lit on fire while standing on a flame tile; id assume somewhere down the line (or it was always like that?) it applied to flaming others directly since ive flamed marines by accident and they didn't get caught on fire either.
Might want to check the RNG values if this isn't a bug since its always been like this since the incinerators massive de-buff.

Re: Flamer does not light aliens on fire
I saw a crusher get blasted and it got lit on fire. The bug fix seems to have worked..I'll pop in if I see anything odd with another alien.

Yeah, it's been fixed. I forgot to close this thread.
