No matter how many tar orbs and explosive orbs you throw at a node, it will not completely break the shell. Sometimes the first layer does get broker, but not the second. Other times nothing gets broken. NOTE: However, some nodes do break as intended.


Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
1.Find a node
2. Throw tar orbs and explosive orbs at it.
3. See if there is the shell is broken. About half the time the node takes little, if any, damage.
4.

We just had one of those.

My clanmate used grease orbs, and ignited with a demon-fire orb. He saw the husk immediately go into one of the first stages of cracking where you could see the ribbons of starmetal glowing through. The first initial crack.

Subsequent grease orbs and ignited with a demon-fire orb failed to progress the husk any further. My clanmate decided to abandon the meteor, and look for a different one.

I brought powder with me, and asked for the location of the node that my clanmate was working on. At that point, he was likely significantly away from it, assuming outside of the object rendering range. I was able to locate the meteor, and noticed that the husk for me and my game client rendered in as fresh / untouched. I asked my clanmate about what had happened, and he told me of the starting to crack veins showing through. It was very obvious from my game client that there were not yet any starmetal veins showing through - it looked brand new.

I then followed up on it with a straight-up bomb, and it cracked immediately, no fuss.

We had no further difficulty with any of the other meteor husks that we found after that (3 more).

I can confirm this bug.
I found 6 nodes after a meteor shower, 4 of them were bugged. They did not break even after using two Explosive Jars on them.

It was mentioned in another thread on this topic that it could be related to orbs not making damage during pvp hours, and I think it’s worth investigating on this.

I can confirm this bug.

The issue is present in Single-Player/PVE so it has nothing to do with PVP hours.

Ok thanks for that, it will help narrow the problem I hope. I’ll do my tests later see how it goes.
