3/11/08 Update- Glitches/Bugs/Requests

[Toksyuryel]

Should probably add that spell-lock either wasn't fixed at all, or the fix was at best meaninglessly minimal and random. I know I still get locked when I'm hit with spells right when I try to stand up from /heal exactly as much as I used to.

i havn't actually tested it with cure spells, but for anything else (i tested with utsu2) it wasn't changed at all. i'm assuming they simply changed cure spells, and nothing else

This was only sposed to be for "cure" lock I thought, and nothing else.

The way the update was worded I got the impression that the reference to cure was just an example. Then again, whoever's been writing the updates lately has been a little... off... so it could be just another one of his fuck-ups.

Also, using an Item, while Invisible doesnt wear off Invisi anymore.
Dunno if this an isolated Glitch.

is it all items? b/c as long as i've exp'ed at trolls, my empress band doesn't take down my invisibility, nor does consuming food. however, if im on sam and i use meditate, invis goes poof. so im curious what item you were using

Ok, A little more about the Invisible not wearing thing..
I used the following Items, not wearing Invisible.

Empress Band
Toolbag
Meat Chiefkabob
Scroll of Monomi Ichi
Quiver
Yagudo drink
Hi-Potion.

All of these were used, i was always under the impression using anything while invisible would wear it off immediatly, but i used these and it stayed on... As i said, it could have been an isolated incident, and it could be fixed now

Thanks more info like this is just what was needed. I removed it from the solved section and placed it back up into glitches/bugs. Even if this is an old issue and we didn't notice it till now, SE needs to make up their minds with that sort of problem.

Was trying to solo A Manifest Problem last night on bst, found my pet bugging up while fighting.
It would kill the yag I sent it after and any that linked it, then run off somewhere else, hit a yag that didn't link it then come back to me, regardless if the yag died or not.
Also the yags have a large sight range, though thats probably intentional just rather annoying since it was larger than the range I had to get into to sic a pet on them (17.2)
Oh and if you aggro them, the pet stops responding to commands.

As more and more of these avatar, pet, and automaton reports come in...

Its starting to sound to me like they tried to adjust something with how NPC's attack, engage, or behave with mobs. Could this all have something to do with the changes made to campaign NPC's? Perhaps what they've done to the AI is affecting pets. I don't see any reason a normal pet would constantly auto attack and run clear out of range to keep doing so.

If anyone has more information about Pets/Avatars/Automatons please add here or PM me, I'm beginning to notice reports of these three types of NPC's are becoming more and more common.

[The Blackrose]

Something that has made me scratch my head...

Under "Possible Feature but Annoying/Needs Confirmation:"

With Scholar now having access to Enfeebling under Light Arts, should Accession be extended to the Enfeebling spells under White Magic such as Silence, Slow and Paralyze?

Spells under Addendum:White/Black cannot be combined with Accession/Manifestation. Intentional or not? -Confirmed as an issue 14MAR2008 with Sleep II cited as example

AoE spells/abilities (Protectra, Shellra, Warcry, etc) and party only spells (Regen, Erase, ect) will not affect Adventuring Fellows belonging to other members of your party. You can only cast those spells/abilities on your own Adventuring Fellow.

Also, maybe I just got really unlucky during my last two sessions, but not a single piece of armor has changed on either of my NPCs. I will burn my Tactics Pearl today to see if anything changes...

I don't see it listed here... but there's a bug with Emperor's ring. I used Emperor's Ring and my friend used Empress and the xp didn't match up with higher chains. When his wore, I noticed it wasn't a full 1.5x bonus. I think it doesn't factor in the xp chain bonus while the Empress does~

I know this is a stupid question, but were you two the same level?
If so then its possible they could have glitched to where Emperor Band overwrites Exp Chain rewards, seems like something that could easily be bugged/messed up

[Grieverbk]

whatever happened to the missions, sorry, the cutscenes we were supposed to get?

[negativ3zero]

I don't know if this is happening to anyone else but sitting on white gate with zero to little lag and party ended so I tried to disband from the party since i wasn't leader and hit the damn button at least 20 times and still in the party

Did you try /pcmd leave to see if it was a "button" issue or a party command issue?

I only use /pcmd leave and have had no issues leaving PTs but there may be an issue with the menu.

I use the buttons since I'm lazy though I had aragon try this also in white gate and he couldn't disband though outside area's you can, same problems accessing your mog locker and things

People fighting Shadowhand tonight in Jugner were reporting that when they had Bio cast on them it was staying on even after death. Even after Reraise they'd still have the Bio effect on. -_-

LOL, that would suck. That's worse than Nightmare.

The casting timer needs to accurately reflect the correct percentage by factoring in fast cast bonuses and job abilities.

With fast cast and celerity, I can raise III someone when the timer says 25%. If I'm done casting the spell, shouldn't it say 100% instead of 25%?

[Byrthnoth]

The item usage "glitch" has been that way for a while now. I actually rike it, so let's not go calling it "a glitch" so much as "an unintended benevolent addition to the game." Some of the only things that drops Invis is using Silent Oil/Prism Powder, I think.

The disbanding parties in areas of high activity has happened to me in the past. It's either a recurrent glitch or was never fixed.

Also, the casting timer has never reflected Fast Cast, and even without any Fast Cast spells don't actually "cast" at 100%. They go around 70%. It's very silly, but I imagine it might be simpler from a programming standpoint (easier to choose a different % for a spell to complete at than to change the rate at which a bar fills up.)

But most importantly, WHERE IS MY MENU-FIX PATCH?

[KillerPLD]

I don't think this is the way Malediction is supposed to work. Last night in Salvage, I had no JAs or any cell so it wasn't possible to switch weapons, so I was stuck at 300% TP. Every time a skele would use Malediction, it would drop me to 298% TP. I asked around and no one knew if it was supposed to do this or not.

[Spira]

please dont take away samba effect working for pets.
Its actually better like this. Most people were wondering why it DIDN'T affect pets in the first place, since they too were hitting a mob that had daze...

Plus, its not overpowering and everyone likes it better the way it is.

Daze on pets will be gone, Sleep II will be Manifestation-able, Tarus will stop distorting while dancing, and the menus will be fixed.
