Tesla Staff overlooked?

Just a quick note for the devs...

The new aiming mechanic is great, and opens up a lot of new potential strategies in combat. Unfortunately, one of my tier 10 characters is wielding a Tesla Staff, which can still only be used along the X axis. Is this intentional? It's extremely limiting, and widens the effectiveness gap between the Tesla Staff and other legendaries even further than before.

 

Did you get the tesla staff before the "aiming" update? I believe that only newly-generated weapons (after the update) would have the "aiming" capability. So, it's possible to have a pre-update weapon that cannot be aimed, and a post-update weapon that can.

 

Ah! That must be it. I didn't realize that the aiming mechanic was a property of the item itself - I thought it was associated with the item type.

Thanks for the info.

 

If you miss your staff, you could always install a cheat mod to respawn it. Nobody would blame you, it's a tier 10 character. =P

 

Good idea! I'm running Creative Mode but haven't touched it since Dreadwing. I almost forgot I had it installed.

 

the new aimable teslas are a boon compared to their previous incarnations, but i think they're still outshone by electric ball spears with a higher swing rate.
spam spam spam spam spam.
though i expect that will change once knockback is gone

 

well, idk but my old daggers and shivs were aimable after the update so idunno

 

Slavesword makes things dead very quickly what with the projectile being the main attack.

One neat trick I found was with twin daggers. I have on before the update, and one after. Two directional fighting ftw!

 

Woah, I never would have thought of that, that's awesome!

 

I will say, I'm a tiny bit upset that my BoneHammer isn't aimable. Finding another T10 one is gonna suck ><

 

BoneHammers are not aimable, yesterday I found 2 in the same planet

 

I have an Alpha Tesla Staff. It was a very nice find, but it's useless. I'l save it anyway.

And yes, it's aimable. If you're not running UNSTABLE, you won't have an aimable weapon.

 

I'm pretty sure they pushed aimable weapons to Stable

 

They definitely did. I'm running stable, and the majority of my weapons are aimable.

 

Damn... any coods on where to find the Tesla Staff?
