The advent of the Resurgence Pack (at least, that's what I heard, I got the game around when the pack came out) has introduced a new issue with Vanguards, probably as part of some anti-cheating measure on Bioware's part.  The Vanguard bug allows players to escape map geometry and typically is more of a hindrance than something players can use.  It generally results in the poor Vanguard flying out into the abyss, leaving the other three players to fend for themselves.

*Reproduction - The key to reproducing this is to die at the same time as you Charge.  Since Charge is handled on the client side and the player's death is handled on the server side, you have a window exactly equal to your latency.  At this point, collision will mess up, and within a minute of trying to play like this you'll probably find yourself catapulted out of the map.  Early symptoms include rapid bouncing and floating.

*Accidental use - Given that Charge restores your barrier, it's optimal player behavior to use Charge right before they would otherwise die.  That means, good players with bad latency will typically reproduce this problem the most.

*Exploit Uses - Need to go AFK and don't feel like losing your XP?  This way, you're guaranteed to survive the rest of the match.  If you don't mind being a total jerk.  I highly recommend against using this.  You could theoretically equip a sniper rifle with a large clip and still contribute; I haven't tried it.

As a note, I'm portraying this as a means to exploit in order to get attention from the devs.  Since that seems to get attention faster than gamebreaking bugs.  I'm personally giving up on my Vanguard since this bug has made my favorite character totally unplayable.

Note that the theories on the underlying connection behavior are mostly conjecture.

Just fix this bug!!! It's frustrating as a Vanguard, let alone the other players on my team as I become effectively useless (or worse than useless as I can still be killed and people try to rezz me).

It's hard enough getting a good rep as a vanguard (you know one that doesn't just charge in and get himself/herself killed, without having to contend with glitching as well!

Well, maybe this should be add to other tenths of vanguard bugs related threads here, but have to agree. I do not care about that latency. I should be careful, or host haha.But the real problem is that flying glitch. It would be torelable, if your position resets after you have been killed. But no, you are still bugged. this is not good if this happen at wave 5 on gold.

I would really like to see the patch of this, becase Vanguard is my favorite class. I have low hopes though. This is Day 1 calling for repair issue, which has not been repaired even after two months from release. Instead of petitions about ending, people should aim for issues like this one.

Maybe developers are working on this, maybe not. At least I would like to hear their statement.

I'd like to note that I've gotten this bug twice today, it is still very much present and can easily wreck any enjoyment of useing the shiney new krogan vanguard.

Can we please get net code that takes into account latency and doesn't unsynch the client and host so easily?
