Spells: Dispel broke

If the game were resolving actions based on state that was up to 6 seconds old, there would likely be other examples of this absurdity, but none exist.

You are welcome to test this on live. The best place I have seen in Ture in AoA. Ture has a pretty regular 1 slot dispel and if you junk buff while he is casting or less than 6 secs (a tick) before he casts he will remove the second buff and not the top buff.

And there are plenty of things that are based on this "absurdity" of a tick in EQ. A quick google search will give you a list.

It isn't the concept of a 6-second simulation tick that's absurd, it's your suggestion that spell effects are being resolved based on game state that's potentially up to 6 seconds old.

If this were the case, out-of-sequence events would be a regular occurrence: heals landing and saving a target after it dies, ports taking former group members after they disband, nukes killing targets seconds after they receive a complete heal, CoH summoning players after they zone, etc.

These things aren't happening here nor on Live.
