Druid spell Immolate does not do any damage after recent patch [Archive]

It also no longer stacks with Ro's Fiery Sundering since the patch, but I suspect that may just be because the DoT effect is missing so the debuff effects are competing/incompatible.

For those of us in the low 40 s this is a big spell to lose. When will this be available again?

Yeah, basically killed my long weekend on my 30 druid, but it's OK! Holiday weekend and I hope the devs are enjoying their time off!

In the mean time, I made a monk and ported a few people about, and even started reading a book.

Yeah. This is a passion project supported by donations and this is of hard work. I too hope that it they enjoy their weekend and it’s time to start seriously working on an alt. Thank you for the perspective nudge 😀

Okay this is fixed pending update, and the spell stacks with Ro's Fiery Sundering and Breath of Ro. I do not have an ETA on patches however. :/

Thank you! I understand that can't be "hot fixed". Guess I have to learn how to charm CT gators instead of root rotting :)

Any ETA on the patch being applied? I just hit 29 on my druid and got all excited, only to find it not doing any damage. =(

Edit: Hoping this doesn't come off as pushy - I'm just not familiar with patch/hotfix turnaround times. If it's a weekly/monthly/quarterly kinda thing, or what. It looked like the last update was a few weeks ago, and I wasn't sure how 'long' that is, in terms of typical patches.

I'm going to put my druid on vacation. Immolate is really integral to druids dps solo. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

This really broke the class for any leveling druids. Can't this be mini patched sooner rather than later?

i'm almost 29 with my druid!! well, i'll wait for the patch :)

I too vote that this be fixed sooner rather than later as this negatively impacts my guild. Less dps means less leveling druids which means less porters. Less porters means sad server.

As far as I understand it's up to rogean to coordinate the patches as he owns the hardware, and he seems pretty busy.

Just for clarification, this is an issue with blue only, right? The spell still works on Green?

Dead for green too: Important NOTE: As of This date (Dec 28 2021) my testing(on Green server) has shown it to not be working as intended. This spell does no damage, do not waste your money buying or mana casting this till it is fixed. EDIT: developers have addressed, and state fix will be implemented next patch

The by level skill caps for taunt on warriors on green got changed recently ... maybe a change for this got ninjad in too?

How recent was your testing?

Can anyone confirm whether or not its upgrade, Breath of Ro, is working?

Looking at my next set of spells coming up and was a bit sad to see this information. Thinking I’ll have to go make an alt and switch to that until this is fixed.

Very thankful for all the crazy work has gone into making this available and free for everyone. Can’t help but ask if there is an ETA to at hope for though ;)

As of 6-10-22 I'm seeing no damage on Immolate. Stick to Creeping Crud and Combust and power through for now!

It has been broken since the last patch, and will require a new patch to be fixed. Unfortunately when that will be is still unknown unless I missed an announcment (which is possible, not sure where if anywhere patches are announced).

Edit: And by patch meaning the patch files version number changes: Project 1999 Patch Files (V55). would become (V56) presumably, not just the updates that release with era updates, or the server being restarted.

Hopefully they release a patch soon... I've been looking forward to dot stacking ever since I got Creeping Crud. You should have seen my face last night when I finally dinged, got a fire beetle eye, and then found out that Immolate doesn't do damage lol.

Finkk

06-17-2022, 02:36 PM

Oops… that’s no good. I’ll get this fixed as soon as I return.

Hi Telin,

Do you have any information or pages that discuss patch releases and timelines? I'm wondering how often patches are deployed on P99. Also, do you have an ETA?

Thank you,

Finkk

So I ask a similar question on the Patch Notes thread for 20-Nov-2021 and got the following response:

https://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3465854&postcount=117

My initial reaction was annoyance with a bit of anger; I was going to post a strongly worded reply, but then decided it wouldn't be a good look...

I play this game for free and the admins are all unpaid volunteers.

I have, instead, decided to follow the lead of others and focus on other characters for the time being.

Trust me, I know it's frustrating. A good portion of a Druid's DPS for many levels comes from that single spell.

As far as I know, this was Telin's last post on the ETA of the fix:

https://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3393020&postcount=10

I am afraid this is probably the best answer you will get...

The irony of it all is that Green is supposed to be the most classic P99 server ... and yet in classic Druids and Mages were the power classes, whereas on Green both classes got the shaft.

Why doesn't this spell work? I feel like there are enough people petitioning about it and complaining about it. Can we get a fix please?

i got a feeling that immolate isnt working, because it didnt work on live either back the day... strict classic policy in place!

As a new druid I was really confused on why my dots were doing so little damage. Turns out it does no damage.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, by "update" he means the latest Patch Files, right?

We are currently on V55. So Immolate should be fixed with V56, right?

If so, how often are the Patch Files updated?

magnetaress

07-28-2022, 10:31 AM

99% likely it's broken because some raider was using immolate to do something that some uber guildie didn't want done. Will be fixed when said person has had their fill of pixels.

(just so you know this isn't a personal dig at you or said person, just an observational statement on MMO culture, especially old MMOs like EQ)

From what I understand those are automated server side, for the timeline stuff. I think the hot button bug on green has been a few years at this point, it's just most people don't know that the extra hot buttons were added in the timeline.

Last "patch" I see is November 20th, which I would think broke immolate?

My loose understanding of the hierarchy is that Rogean (maybe Nilbog) are the only people who can actually promote a patch to live and they're both(?) frequently busy with their lives so they only swing by once in awhile to check in on things.

So presumably whenever Rogean swings by there will be a patch.

It's "fixed" you can find the thread from the guy who fixed it.
You just have to wait for the "patch", and I think only the head guy can do that.
Last patch was before Christmas, which is when the first bug report for the spell popped up not working.

Figured I'd mention that this is still bugged and does no damage on Green as of this post. Hopefully someone will apply that patch at some point!

Coming up on a year for this one haha. I basically stopped playing since I'm a filthy casual, and it was not worth me pushing through those levels. Kinda sucks, but oh well. Maybe we can get a green 2.0 with the fix, and I'll probably restart as a different character all together.

is it just my druid or is something wonky with dots?

immolate is supposed to be 24/tick, I noticed it was doing 3% of a mobs hp per tick that had 1675 hp.. meaning its doing 50 a tick. Out of curiosity I tried it on myself and it's doing 34 a tick.. what the hell! It's easy to verify mobs hp is 1675, enveloping roots does 94 damage and drops mobs hp by 6%.

drones is also weird, it seemingly does the right 34/tick on the npc's dropping them by 2% per tick BUT when cast on myself it only does 22 per tick.

Edit: players take reduced damage from player dots right? Would explain the issue of drones and immolate doing about 40% less on me.. but still, immolate appears to be doing double damage now.
