stacking buffs

So this whole thing about using multiple player classes to buff (or wrench) your guns to stack buffs might be overpowered slightly.

Can you clarify please? Buffs don't stack.

They appear to stack if you rotate character classes. You just have to time it. I have a 100% win rate on this because of this mechanic. I think that maybe this game play mechanic could be interesting but so far I've just been able to kill everything and get a 100% win rate.

I don't follow. Do you mean changing class during a match? Buffs don't stack but they are powerful. I almost always have 2 buffs per ship.

Please clearly explain the observation.

No man I mean using a 4 man crew and rotating players buffing the gun while timing it correctly to stack buffs.

Buffing a gun fills up the buff meter on the left side. When the meter is full the gun is buffed. Your buff hammer and your buddy's buff hammer are no different. The buffs aren't stacking.

This is interesting. I've never heard of this before.......I suggest you email Muse about it. Maybe get a dev or CA on your ship and demonstrate it to them. This sounds like a seriously overpowered bug.

We're not going off the meter.

Again, show a CA or dev, I'm not entirely sure what you mean but this sounds like some nasty glitch.

How did you determine it does more damage? What timing are you using?

I am available now for testing. If it is a bug email feedback@musegames.com
