Magic Circle Against Alignment (Mobile AOE bug)
Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:43 pm
Magic Circle Against Alignment seems to be very buggy. Sometimes, it only lasts a few moments before wearing off. The wear-off seemed to be linked to moving.
After some research, I learned this is due to the "Mobile Area of Effect Bug". Basically, the area of effect doesn't keep up with the person with the spell. This can be caused by lag or speed, or both.
When the character moves outside their own aura, the spell effect is removed. This is because the Aura creates all the effects and no secondary personal effect keeps the spell tied to the character till the duration expires.
Apparently there use to be simple fixes available on the old Vault. This problem also supposedly happens with Battletide and Invisibility Sphere, and is fixable the same way.
Could we get this looked into? I may have copies of the fixes on an old computer, if I can get it running.
