Gate Shield Diffuser Broken?

Vonce · 2013-02-28, 02:07 AM

Has anyone else been experiencing trouble with the gate shield diffusers?

My outfit and I used to gate shield break all the time but recently we've been having trouble. It seems to do nothing about 1/3 the time and we run into the shields like idiots.

Crappy quality video example:
(Yes, I know that we ALSO hit a tank between hitting the shields 2x)

Sony doesn't recognize it. Maybe just a Connery problem?

Greetings,

Thank you for contacting PlanetSide 2 in-game support, I am Operative Chip.

I have tested this issue myself and I have confirmed that the gate shield diffuser system is working effectively! The Issue you experienced may have been a one time issue. Also beware that the Gate Shield diffuser only works on the Gate Shield itself and will not work on any enemy vehicles or objects as these things will block your path. I hope this clears things up for you! If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact us again.

Shields bug out once in a while. Iv had spawn shield not change and lock people in the upper floor of a tower, a NC gate shield block all NC vehicles, and even more spawn shields lock people out of a spawn room that they just took.

It could just be that shield and none else. Or you're sundy bugged out one time. If it happens to other shields tomorrow then spam reports. In the mean time Im off to watch more of those German Shepherd videos that are tied to yours.

Some shields are bugging.

I've run into this a few time under biolabs. Waited for recharge then tried another shield and it worked... though I think the element of surprise was a bit lost!

I also think it's the shields not the breaker. I run into "friendly" shields every now and then which don't want to let me pass.

Oh I love it when the shield bugs.
"Look at that guy, stopping for the shield. Doesn't he know you can drive through that if it's your color?"

Ive seen this bug out on occasion. It seems like timing is everything with this thing.
