Promote Bug

[Lukin]

Greetings :)

I guess Promote doesnt seem to work. Neither the Judge nor the similar specable Ability (giving you a 20% chance for Promote after Critical Hit) ever caused a promote of my soldiers. And i play with Soldier-Linup so i should have seen it over the last 4 days ;)

well i seen it last game.

A little Star above one soldiers head?

[DanteOne]

nope just look at the soldiers shoulder plates and its crit chance

Ok i see.

As it seems the promote is permanent. But a lot of my promoted soldiers (by their outfit) still have the lower critchance. Otherwise if it is not permanent these soldiers should lose their improved outfit as soon as the promotion is gone.
I recognized also, that it depends on your playercolor how "easy" your promoted Soldiers are detected. With red for example its pretty easy to see (White/Silver <-> nearly Crimson gives a great contrast) but with Black it is White/Silver to Gray/Silver and that is horrible to seperate ;)

And at last something, maybe better for balance-section: Why should i spec "Motivation" - Ability if i get promotes also by Judge (or oc 2 Judges)

We will add a "star" for when they get elite on their own too.

Dont miss that ;)

Edit: Soldiers seem to be bugged since 8.13. Before they had a 5% Base-Critchance, another 10% through 3-Point-Ability "Devastating Fire" (?) and another 5% Chance through promote, so 20% all in all. Now all my Soldiers have a 25% Chance to crit with aswell without promote.

We will check this.

Because this enables more tactics actually.

Maybe... ;)

Edit: Gna, have to correct my last post. The 25% seem to be only in SP-Campaign, aswell as an increase of Soldiers's Dmg. Is it intended that units have different stats at sp and for example practice-maps?

No, it is a bug as it look .. Thanks for reporting.
