[HUNTER] Focus regeneration is crap!

13 posts in this topic

It was about time to create thread here, because the bugtracker contains at least 5 times reported that focus regeneration is bugged, and still none of them is even confirmed, this is the reason why I don't believe someone is working on to fix this. So, I bet that 99.9% of hunter players felt that focus regeneration is totally broken for nightly hours SVT. For example if you dump your whole focus on burst then you probably need like 10-12+ seconds to regenerate, because on each 2-3 seconds instead of regenerating it is dropping for 5-10 focus. So now, as mythic+ and EN hc is released, can somebody from the staff explain me how the heck our class can be useful in this kind of activities?

I've read somewhere in forums that developers fix classes by whatever is being reported from the Class Masters, so the question is: Is FS have any hunter class master at all? And if the answer is yes, what the heck is he reporting?

There are 2 purposes of this thread:
- Staff members, give us some estimation when to expect this bug to get fixed, and what is the current progress, are the developers even aware for this problem???
- Players that play hunters, guys, did you find any way to workaround this problem or at least minimize the severity of the issue, if yes please share so we can be useful to each other.

Your sincerely,
just a hunter player that feels like cripple at the time of this post is being written.

Days passing, still no update, no bug confirmed in bugtracker, even when I was assured that this problem will go to hunter class master, who is actually also admin of the server. So congratz, you released EN hc, you released mm+, and hunters are total bull*hit with this bug so even on mm+ I manage to get in, I constantly feel like I am being carried..but of course, afterall my hunter is able to cast only 2 spells per 10 seconds. I like how everyone of the staff administration is pretending to be blind or deaf about this bug, and I will keep walking around forums, discord, tickets etc. until this problem gets resolved and hunter actually become playable, compared to other classes.

New bug which again proves that hunter here is totally useless for currently released MM+ and EN HC. Today I had the luck(not really) to loot legendary boot for BM Qa'pla, Eredun War Order. It should reduce the cooldown with 3 seconds of Kill Command each time you use Dire Frenzy, but instead of reducing it, it resets it again to 6 seconds... at some point also level 100 talen - Killer Cobra stops working too. So, will be there any feedback from staff here, what is happening with players who play hunters???

Edit: Here is the bug reported on bugtracker: https://firestorm-servers.com/us/report/see_report/40388

they dont care about the server nor community anymore, keep reporting on bugtracker and in 2 years is fixed

If we wouldn't care, we wouldnt deliver any updates. 

However, I gave it to the Hunter Class Master for further investigation.

To understand the developer's perspective better, I'd like to add that no matter how simple is a bug, or even the fix to it, the process of fixing a bug for a community is more than one would think. To reproduce the error, to test the fix in different circumstances, to integrate with other changes, to deploy and to communicate the effects are all many steps. Fixing the bug might be only one step in comparison.

Great point that bug fix goes through different stages until it's completed, I personally work in software development company(VMware), and I personally am fixing bugs a lot in our product. I've heard many times that devs fix what is reported from the QAs and CMs, so I will give you example how bad(I really don't want to use more severe word to describe) is one of the Firestorm's QA. His discord name is Tweek, according to his title there he is QA. I went there are started explaining the bug with focus, explaining that bug is not reproducible at early hours when server is not under load, but the bug is highly reproducible in late hours when server is under load, and his response to this description was: "Hehe, a bug cannot be there in the night, and not there in the morning, you probably have latency.", what the heck is this guy calling himself QA? You cannot be that retarded to know that bugs are reporducible under different circumstances, and also be QA, in other words tester. If I give this response in my company to our clients, we lose clients = we lose money, same is here, this kind of response = losing players.

The hunter CM is still trial, but I spoke with him he said he reported the critical focus bug to devs and they are trying to fix it. I also reported the problem with legendary feet to him, but he still didn't test it to confirm and report back to devs, although the actual bug reporduce is exactly for 5 minutes, because the buggy effect is reporducible every single time, and it's simple AF. Instead of reducing the cooldown, it is actually INCREASING the cooldown, simple as that. Thanks for your time to read this post.

And you kinda summed it all, the reason I can't play my favorite class is that it is so bugged it can't do anything but world quests. 

Devs I respect the hard work and time you are putting into this, don't get me wrong. But pls if possible there are different level of buggs and problems. Regeneration of focus problem makes hunters unplayable, it makes people go different server or different class for a while...but going different class isn't a solution. Please level a field for everyone

Yep confirmed - focus regen is broken for BM,MM,SV, i make exapmple when focus regen it should go from 0 to 100-120-130 but it does so when it resches 40 drops back to 20 then agian by 50 drops to 30 than by 70 drops to 50 tthen 100 drops to 80 then 118 drops to 100 and FINALY I REACH my 120 FOCUS as BM -hunter , if some dev says its OK it is not! Im also not sure if its morning or afternoon better but somethimes it works somethimes didnt and when it does not spels thaht give focus regen didnt work either. So pls DEV  can u repair it?

@Gyaja It has been fixed already, for a couple days. You now see Hunters in Dungeons and Raids, and doing good DPS as well. Maybe you should try playing your Hunter again

You can stop acting like assholes to Developers and blame your Class Masters instead. Each Class Master gives Developer a set of skills to fix from their own class and it's not Developers that choose.

Since the beginning of the server, Hunter has been doing damage that could compete with others, just not all specs were playable back then. Good thing this has been fixed, but it's a note for future complaints.
