    That whole 'People shooting automatic weapons into the vendors truck' thing.

    So, most of us have ported to a vendor location, seen some guy shooting into the vendor and just wondered wtf.

    A friend and I ported to Top Notch early this AM after a series of Darkfalls to trade some loot in and compare what we each saw at the vendor specials. We were on mic to each other.

    I got there, trotted to the vendor and opened the trade window to start selling. He mentions that I'm standing there shooting my SMG at the truck, and what was up? I responded that my trade inventory window was open and I was scrolling thru weapons. He says 'Nupe, you're emptying full auto into the vendor.'.....

    A couple jumps later we port to Demon, I turn and run into the ranch to the vendor area. He ports and starts to talk about going to the left and I should cover him....
    Me:'Uhm... huh? Where?'
    He tells me I'm standing outside the gate shooting across the intersection into the area where the Volge have an emergency going and he's going to flank them.

    I'm most of the way to the AR/LMG/SMG vendor at that point, running. He tells me I'm standing outside the gate shooting.

    <Semi-Humorous speculation follows>:
    I think we are riddled with doppelgangers, and many of us don't know it.
    Maybe there's actually double the amount of traffic on the servers, and it's up to 50% phantoms sucking up the bandwidth. Thats where you guys are are getting all your lag and disconnects from. Thats where all the good loot is going. Trion has up to double the population and those guys are getting all the OJ Trion is claiming is coming out of the lockboxes.



    These are just my opinions.
    I have lots of opinions.
    Some of them, on occasion, people have agreed with.
    I do not trust those people.

    Funny that you're the first to mention this that I know of.

    I have had this happen as well - my clan mate tells me "Quit shooting at the Danged Vendor - I'm trying to trade over here" and I told him - but I'm not shooting - I'm just standing here. We tested it at a few places and I apparently kept doing it, even changed weapons and I was still doing it, but when I switched to a semi-auto it stopped. Haven't been able to replicate it since.

    I've seen this happen also. I was playing with somebody when they started shooting straight forward, until I asked 'could you please *stop* that?!' He was confused, because he wasn't doing anything but looking through a menu...but somehow his character was firing away.

    On another note....this isn't quite the same thing, but half the time whenever I am 'dancing', I show up on other people's screens as frantically running in place. : (

    I wish they would fix this game. In every way.

    That is actually pretty funny, and now I'm wondering if it happens to me since I typically have my Pulser or Tachmag on the ready. I'll have to have a friend come in game with me to test it out.

    Seen this as well. Myself and a friend browsing/selling then I ask what he is shooting at. He says he is not. I look closer and he has his BMG equipped with the short red beam coming out as if firing the gun but there were also shell casings being ejected out the side.
    Chalk it up to lag the same with the constant grunting some characters emit. Logging out doesn't reset it if I recall, so we had to quit and restart.

    It happens to me and the wife too...Quite a lot actually, when fast travelling between places...

    Have you noticed that even after, apparently, emptying a clip, you haven't lost any ammo???

    Unfortunately those issues can be seen in several online games. In ME3 MP sometimes it looks like a person is constantly firing their gun even when they are out of ammo or laying on the ground dead.

    That describes the current state of the game perfectly.
