so this is effectively not a bug because you can shoot any structure over and over each time it goes in to reinforce.
example:
standard energy transmitter. i shoot it to 50% and it will go in to reinforce.
If i wait for the reinforcement phase to pass (ie not kill it when it flags) i can shoot it again and it will go from 50% to 49%, 48% or even less depending on how much i hit it for .... so in a Mesmer MK2 with full DPS fit i can hit it for 400 which is 2% of the structures total HP.
i can do this over and over each time putting it into reinforce but each time it will have less and less HP
Its not a bug with plasma bombs its a issue with the server i would say because the reinforcement phase doesnt activate until a structure is "SHOT" at and takes damage from a gun or bomb
because in order for the structure to go in to reinforcement it must take damage.
this is only exacerbated by the high amount of damage a plasma bomb does
This one has been around for as long as structure reinforcement has been .... simply making plasma bombs not do damage to structures will not fix it.
this will im sure effect all buildings given enough time.
Q: If a structure has to take damage to activate the reinforce timer then how will this ever be fixed?
