Game Mechanics: Issue With Spells Not Wearing Off On Both Client & Server Simultaneously

[Smedy]

Hi,

I've tried to work out what the issue can be behind this and i've spoken to Null about it.

This is the issue:

Example #1

You cast mez (enchanter spell) on target, and then wait for it to fade.

Once it fades on the client you casted it on, he will be able to run around, yet he cannot cast spells or attack you, neither did you (the caster of mez) receive a message saying "your spell has worn off".

Example #2

You cast root on target. Your target waits for the root to fade, once the root has faded the user who was rooted will not be able to cast jboots on themselves, neither did you (the caster of root) receive any "root has worn off" message.

It seems there's something out of sync between the client and the server, maybe it has to do with the specific "time reduction" for pvp yet either the server or the client is going by different rules making them out of sync with each other.

Would be cool if this was fixed.

sounds like a serious issue. On a side note should the caster recieve a message when the spell fades? I thought that "spell has worn off" message was added later

[Smedy]

Not sure, but the message does appear later if you wait awhile.

It's out of sync somehow, rogean with his matrix emu skills can probably find the issue.

Looks like null has found the issue and fixed it, not sure when the fix goes lives but just wanted to update that there's an possible fix coming.
