Biotic Charge is STILL Plagued With Issues, Unfortunately

 Vanguards no longer soar to the heavens anymore, thankfully, but an issue still exists. Sometimes when the power button is pressed to activate Biotic Charge, nothing happens. I tested this out yesterday by hosting a match with the Krogan Vanguard. When I was attempting to charge towards a squad of enemies, the power did not activate. There was a clear path between me and the enemies. No cover nor obstacles. Just empty space between us. And I get killed almost everytime it decides not to activate. This issue has been occuring before the patch and now it seems to be happening more frequently. This has actually caused me more suffering than the hover glitch.

I don't remember seeing this in the patch notes, but I had hoped that it would get resolved. Don't analyze this post the wrong way, as I am grateful that we received the patch.  Anyone else having this trouble?

I think it's an issue with certain maps, and not the power itself. The extraction zone on Hydra, for example, had plagued me with this issue, whereas the rest of the map works fine.

This is not new, the issue is related to connection. That's why I always smash the "charge" button :lol:

Could be lag related .. or stagger related ...

I can't say it's been happening more often for me, but it always happens at the worse of times.

I do remember times pre-patch where even hosting I'd have trouble with BC not working. Now, I might just be gullible, but I think the way they fixed the glitch was by not allowing charging with one bar of health. Were you trying to charge in those circumstances?

I can charge when on healthgate just fine. No programmer in his right mind would fix a bug with a crude solution like that, anyway.

Nope. I would have full shields and health, and it still wouldn't work.

I don't think it's lag related. Happened to me while going solo on Glacier. I had full health and a clear line of sight. My experience was't game breaking though.

A old bug they couldn't fix since ME2. Doesn't surprise me anyways. Just happy one thing is fixed.

The 'Can't get a lock!' bug has been around since ME2. I don't think it's lag related, as it happens all too frequently even when soloing.

One thing I noticed is if you rotate the camera so your characters body is 'twisted' then Charge doesn't fire worth a damn. Rotate the camera a bit more to 'untwist' and it seems to work better...

It happens to me often too, it could be lag related but usually it happens when your standing with your back against the wall... Step forward and charge again, worked for me most of the times. Probably something with BC animation first moving you a little backwards.

Op that has been going on since release and happens even when hosting on certain maps.

This has always been a thing. Maybe you didn't notice, if you aren't used to play vanguard when off-host.

It's nothing new, and it does happen LESS on host. I usually try switching targets quickly...

I've had that problem always. Part (most?) of the reason I don't like playing vanguards.

I hav noticed this happen rather frequently with connection issues and commonly on Rio. When that happens, I keep getting relocated to the starting point all the damn time.

yeah, i did 16m glacier bronze solo with kroguard for this weekend operation. everything worked perfectly but then... i did an infuriating pick up game, gold and kept having the exact issues op points out. dying several times because i stand doing nothing while trying to charge orange rectangled enemies.

at several points, everything was locked up, meaning charge, carnage, heavy melee and reload weren't working. i can't remember what i'd trigger, but one thing would release the lock and next thing you know, i was charging, shooting and doing heavy melee all in a row.

gonna try this twisting camera thing... thanks.

The first time they "fixed" it that's what they did. Ignored the unpinning issue, just gave Charge more invulnerability frames to try to prevent death-while-charging via brute force.

I had one post-patch Vanguard game where every few minutes I couldn't charge, and then the game would realize I was bugged and respawn me at the LZ. This was on Rio, so I don't know if it happens on other maps.

This is not correct. This has been an issue with BC since ME2. It happens in the single-player campaign. It has absoltuely nothing to do with connection.

It has nothing to do with lag/connection at all. I host almost exclusively on a solid internet conenction and I still experience this at least once in every match I play as a vanguard, without pathing to the target being obstructed or being stunned by enemy fire.

I have a suspicion (as yet unconfirmed) it is caused by the invisble walls left behind by certain enemies (e.g. geth turrets and bosses etc).
