Wand and Scrolls bugging

[Calodan]

Okay so I was out fighting and I can use Holy sword wand and Flame sword scrolls. I was noticing that when I cast them on me or my weapon they were not working. Either one. My alignment is proper at Lawful Good for the Holy Sword wand. They did not fail but for some reason did not take see screen shots for the proof in the combat logs.







As you can see two different instances and no divine or fire damage was dealt when spell should have been active. Any thoughts from anyone in QC or DMs?

Two of the script repairs concerned Holy Sword and something to do with fiery weapons. Design-side will investigate.

So I tried playing around with this a bit. It only seems to bug out if I am fully warded up. This happens every time IG. Can one of the QC or DEVs take Kory for a test drive and see what I am talking about? If I have one or two wards up it doesn't seem to be any issue getting holy sword or flame weapon to enchant on my spear but if I fully ward no dice? Just weird.

So played around some more trying to figure what was happening with this. When I fully buffed this time and tried to null all effects my GMW and Keen would not drop off my spear at all. I understand what was trying to be fixed but it just completely fubar now.....I can cast the spells on my weapon at first but if I fully buff they won't take and other spells are permanent instead.......Frustrating to say the least. Looking forward to it getting fixed ASAP there is a big event this weekend and a lot of Kory's damage is tied up in expendables. Spears kind of suck from a build perspective......

I found it!!!! So the problem is not that any combination of wards of any ward specifically that is causing this bug but the amount of wards up. The magic number is 11. If I cast 11 wards before I cast any of the Flame Weapon, Holy Sword and or Bless weapon after that they will not trigger at all. The only exception I have found to that is that Bless weapon will trigger eventually if it is the 12th spell cast but not if 13th or higher......Also when the weapon is enchanted with any of the three it blinks in and out as if not working then working again. Following are the screen shots to prove what I am saying. It was a long process and I was quite frustrated until I figured it out. The quick answer to this problem is to cast those particular three spells long before the 11th ward you have up and then you only get them for the 15 minutes they last and can not cast them again until you rest or drop other wards to get down below 11 wards on you. Which this is of course not a solution but a band aid at first.

So the next five pictures show how the damages that were on when on blinked in and out occasionally. These are also time lapse as I was pressing the screen shot button in order as it happened.















Okay the next set of screen shots show how Flame weapon was the 11th spell cast so was on weapon but Bless was 12th and Holy Sword 13th. Bless did eventually trigger as the 12th spell cast in these screen shots.



///This one shows order of wards see where Bless is in the middle of flame weapon and holy sword. I cast Flame weapon as the 11th ward and it stuck just fine. Bless was the 12th ward and did not fire at first. It eventually did. Holy sword never did fire at that point of warding past 11 wards.







///These two showed that Bless weapon was not firing at first but then did come up. Holy sword never did fire at all



The last two show how I put Holy sword at the 11th ward and it fired just fine but neither flame weapon or bless would fire at the 12th ward for flame weapon and 13th ward for Bless weapon.



///Shows order of wards. Notice Holy sword at 11th ward cast and it does indeed enchant to the weapon but flame weapon and bless did not




///Shows how holy sword did indeed work at the 11th ward but flame weapon and bless did not ever trigger.


This concludes what I could find. Might want to try and reproduce it but I am 100% positive this is the issue I just do not know what script is telling it to do that and how to fix it.

Okay so new point to make as well. It seems I was wrong. If you cast more than 11 wards even if you cast flame weapon, holy sword or bless weapon prior to that will cancel those three out immediately as well. So nice little bug we got going on here. So it has pretty much broke the game for anybody who is heavy ward dependent right now. I would like to say this effects more than me but it probably only is a issue for me alone since I use a spear and my spear is quite useless without those spells but then again I am quite useless without other wards to be able to hit with the spear in the first place.......quite the conundrum here.

Duster already chimed in and said that the Dev's are investigating , they'll come with a fix as soon as they are able

Good of you to find out more specifics, that's likely to speed up the process!

[Rasael]

I'm fixing the issue. There's a related bug with the spell not working on shapeshifters.

Its not related to how many buffs you have.
The visuals don't indicate whether its active.

If you have an allowed weapon it should give you a damage bonus effect on your person. Not on the item itself.

The effect is tied to the weapon you have equipped. If you unequip or switch to a different weapon then it vanishes until you switch-back.

I don't think you can trust the character sheet. The only results you can trust are the combat log.

Thank you for reporting this to us

Any positive word on this? I know it is still break and you all are busy with RL. Just was wondering if any update and if getting any closer to fixing the fix and making this work IG.
