[2.01] Barbarians can't enter Frenzy

[waycharman]

I have tried creating a new barbarian  and used a barbarian from a saved game.  The Barbarian simply does not enter Frenzy during combat.  Is anybody else having this issue? It seems like a global problem.

[Nague]

yeah it has been reported in the beta forum, but this patch was really rushed, its basically the beta patch as it was.

[Bronsteijn]

Save and all with the same issue, the all class talent frenzy is fine.

Seems like super rushed. Accuracy is enchants don't work either.

^{Bumping this to ensure the Devs know.  I know its like 6:30 AM over there though lol.  Frenzy is Super Critical to the Barbarian its like if Flames of Devotion was messed up or Blinding strike!}

Whats weird is if you use the AI on your barbarian, he does enter frenzy, but you cant cast it manually.

 

I hate it when they release a patch like this, as steam users we dont even have the option to keep using 2.0.

Agreed.  Ya that is odd.  I guess for Barbarian users the answer for now is tell the AI to do it.  At least you can get it done that way I know its probably not optimal as I like micromanaging my team.

Hey everyone,

 

Could someone please upload a save file and an output log via dropbox so I could take a look at it? If possible, could you also get video confirmation of the bug? We have having trouble reproducing the issue on our end. 

 

Thanks a bunch!

I finally got my game rolling after a week of owning this game and not having enough time to play it and sit down... only for frenzy not to work anymore.  Damn you steam auto updates.

[lameover]

It works.

But it works after taking hit.

Hello everyone, 

 

We are aware of the issue and working on a  fix. The issue is that you cannot manually active frenzy if the AI is activated. You can disable the AI and you should be able to activate it manually. 

 

Thank you for your support and patience. 

 

Edit: I apologize, I made an error in my post. If you keep the AI activated as some of you have mentioned, it will active frenzy on its own. 

[lonelornfr]

I also noticed that bloodlust would not activate after killing 2 or more ennemies. Or maybe the ennemies you kill with carnage damage dont register, i dont know. It could also be that you actually get the bonus attack speed but it wont show as a buff, i dont know.

 

Edit : actually it DOES show up on the charcacter sheet, but it doesnt show as an icon with the other buffs / debuffs next to your character picture, so it probably works fine.

Barbaric Yell has the same problem as well.

 

EDIT: Not a Barbarian skill, but the spell Returning Storm has the same issue as well.

barbarian is so bugged... really wtf

[dudex]

barbarian yell only seems to target one person instead of aoe.

 

carnage sometimes randomly stops working (not sure what causes this)

 

characters charge forward a bit even if u do use frenzy running into melee range (if u are using extended reach)

 

to manually use frenzy u need to set the AI a certain way and can only be activated after u attack once.

 

i really want to revert back to 2.0 without having to do full install..

I had a Barbarian with Frenzy, after patch 2.01 installed frenzy does not work. I respec it and I changed Frenzy with Barbaric Yell... but it doesn't work too... my 2 cent.

I hope they fix asap.

I love the  game and I've been really looking forward to playing 2.0 as a barbarian. Is there a fix being prepared for this issue?

You can just let the AI on so your barbarian will still enter frenzy. It's a little bit annoying, there's no saying otherwise, but it's not gamebreaking by any means. It's up to you my i still loved my recent playthrough with barbarians.

The breakdown applies to a lot of talents items and effects in the objectbundle folder. The druid lightning spells also conflict with the ai.

 

As for a fix, I don't think they even know yet what the fundamental issue was. They certainly didn't know about why some things bugged out in the White March, like the stash bug. I think that was a prelude to some much larger problem they hadn't uncovered, so when they applied a code patch to fix it, it crashed something else even more vital.

 

The previous obsidian patches seem a lot more stable from 1.0 to 1.03 to 1.05, and so on. Some things needed a hotfix, but it wasn't as systematic a break as it looks now.

 

So I surmise that either the debug coder changed, the more experienced ones are working on White March part 2 perhaps, or there was some incompatibility between the new White March content and the new changes, which hadn't been fully debugged or understood before they tried fixing some things in the code with this patch.

 

The fact that GOG prefers to test their patches for a lot longer, may also have contributed to some issues with their version.
