thermals

[sp00k]

I just found a Bug ,i dont know if anyone reported it yet.

If you want to throw a Thermal (not with secondary fire) then it sometimes explodes in your hand and you die .
I used to see this bug sometimes , but now , last game , 2 minutes before, it killed me a lot of times and that was really annoying half of my deaths go on the list of that bug.

is it a bug or should it be like that thermals explode in peoples hand? :(

[DaveGrohl]

yeah i've noticed that too but i've used it to my advantage espically against the imps on Tantive. Hold the thermal till you no its gonna explode in your hand then run at the other team hoping you dont get shot or seen then let go. You can take out most of there team http://www.hyper-stream.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Suicide Bombing?

Osama stylee.

That's the overload timer kickin in. COnsole says it all: Overload, held the thermal for too long (or somethin like dat).

This is to balance certain very unwanted tactics.

Suicide Bombing?
hehehe exactly

[Dingo Dave]

its funny to watch your team explode in front of you.

One glitch i noticed in base was how it can appear you are throwing 2 therms - hold down secondary and alternate between charging prim and sec - release and it throws 2 sometimes.

I don't know if it was lag, or the thermal appearing behind me, but in jabba's palace, i quick-threw a thermal (happened two times) and it exploded behind me.

Maybe i was too close to the wall, or i was lagging and the game did something weird...

[Dacks Zero]

Again, that's the timer kickin in and yes, the timer does not differientate between throwing or holding. It blows up after 10 secs.

[Alesh]

Err... no. I used quickthrow, i was holding the crossbow.

[DaveGrohl]

hehe i've been having fun with the suicide thermal thing espcially when your a soldier, i run in to a group of enemies and just exploded my self which was pretty cool

[TehJumpingJawa]

IMO once a thermal is primed, you shouldn't be able to disarm it by changing to a different weapon. (or alternating between primary and seconday fire modes of the TD)

btw, this is a general JKA bug, not a specific issue with MB.
