Bless weapon and holy sword bug

[Duster47]

Thanks for the reports. FWIW, this is the last word from Rasael on this topic. It may be helpful for testing and bug-finding:

Subject: Wand and Scrolls bugging

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

I have a file package to revert it sitting on the Server Desktop to go in with the next planned update (Saturday?). Unless Rasael comes up with something sooner...

Seriously thank you Duster. It is just annoying at this point really. I got to say I appreciate now more than ever what you all do behind the scenes and how quickly you do respond to a volunteer thing. Thank you.

Update:

Bless Weapon, Holy Sword and Lawful Sword work ONLY if they are among the first 10 buffs cast on a character. When the 11th buff is cast, they all disappear (GMW is the only spell that remains, but it could be because the bonus sticks even when the spell is removed) IMMEDIATELY.

If any of these spells is cast when the character is ALREADY buffed with 10 or more buffs (say, Circle vs Evil, Bless, Aid, Bull's, RM, Eagle's, RG, Freedom of Movement, Death Ward and Shield of Warding, for instance), then the spells will be cast, the VFX will fire, but THERE WILL BE NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER.

Aka, they're pretty much broken and useless .

Thanks for reverting this, Duster.

With all respect, which part is annoying?

At the moment, Flame Weapon definitely works with my spirit shaman's shortbow.

It's delicious.

I swapped out what I believe to be all of the affected files for earlier versions. They should take effect when the server resets again around 0530-0600 GMT (~ 2:30 hr from this post).

Please report if things are as they were before... or not.

if you cast bless weapon from wand not working and the same with flaming weapon it no show the wfx or the special propertles

[Calodan]

Yep still broken.

[ShortRedandLoud]

Flame Weapon no longer works with ranged weapons. I was only able to get off one or two flame weapon arrow per cast. The buff seems to linger about a round before it's removed. So that's looking fixed.

I can't actually afford a melee weapon where I am right now, so I can't say as to how it's otherwise working.

Since 3 hours ago Flame Weapon of my druid still not work.
It is strange for me, cause the problem for me appear just since 8 hours ago.
I have a 7 level pc and for the first six levels I had no problems about that spell.

[ShortRedandLoud]

I should mention you can still cast Flame Weapon on yourself when you're wielding a ranged weapon, though, unlike when you're unarmed. (Where it pops up a message stating that the spell failed, because the target needs a melee weapon or a creature with a melee weapon equipped.)

[Lockonnow]

it is not fun when the undead just crawling in to town and we dont have any holy weapons to defind them with

[Uther3867]

there just starting the times of troubles early next is the spell plague oh what a time to be a pure fighter or archer

[Lockonnow]

well i just a bad feelings what about the warrior of darkness and others kinda class that can cast elemental dmg on weapons???

Another update was pushed out around Jan 9 @ 0400 hr GMT. Please post new bugs, or success even, reports here. Thanks for your continued patience and assistance with getting these things correct.
