5th auras

Author Content Date
I’m not sure whether fin still knows this to be an issue but 5th auras aren’t casting properly
I have stood fighting someone and it has never kicked in over the course of a couple of minutes, 4th/2nd were casting fine so it’s not that I mistimed while running by or anything
Guild also noticed 5th sword didn’t always cast either, however 3rd seemed ok

seem to have this issue trying to cast 4th spear, feels like something resetting its cooldown, tho didn't use any auras in the mean time

Yeah - I've given up using defensive auras (no 1st or 2nd Bow) and 4th still doesnt cast a lot of the time.

Sometimes I have to cast 1st or 2nd to be able to use 4th again. It's really strange.

Axe 5th just will not go off half the time, and our axers are saying they have to use other auras to try and make it work.

Ok thanks! Will run the launcher again, and if that doesn't help I'll re-install.

Yeah it does that but has always done that, right?

Anyone got video of the 5th issue like it not working on targets standing still?

I've personally tried it myself, and evey one of our axers who can land 5ths every opportunity given for months before the patch (even on running targets etc) simply can't get them off the vast majority of the time.

If everyone is moving then that makes some kind of sense that its less often, but on targets standing still - it should be going off, and often doesn't.

We feel like maybe its something to do with the defensive auras, that they might be resetting CDs and so on - but then when we don't use any auras at all and only try land 5th it doesnt go off a lot of the time on valid targets.

Feel like its mostly fixed for bow 4th, but sometimes that won't go off until you use a defensive aura first.

I'll make a video of that tonight - what's useful? log an axer and stand in arena and spam click 5th on a stating still player - when it doesnt go off?

Well assuming everyone has same client patch (Can't be 100% sure until I force it in the next server reboot) and an issue I have fixed with userstatus doesn't change anything (it stores current cooldown info and restores it when loading character currently it is possible for characters to go over the 100 byte limit and therefore not save it) then that will be fine with the condition that you first cast a defensive and offensive aura and wait for the defensive aura to finish completely (this is just to avoid any issue with userstatus but afaik it should be fine even if it isn't updating due to the issue).

But right now I don't see why 5th axe would get singled out it should work the same as any other offensive aura that has the same attack type.

Me and cryptic atleast have updated the client since you mentioned you added a fix.

In world pvp (normally IC ) 5th is just so ridiculously inconsistent, I know cocaine was also having the same issues.

We tried multiple methods to make 5th work (using different auras first / relogging / unequipping and reequipping axe / just waiting like 2minutes without using any auras at all). We couldn't find a reliable way to make it work, or find out exactly what was causing the issue.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I really wish we could provide something more specific.

It seems in places like town/ gvw it is alot more consistent if that means anything.

I know I could duel someone in town now, and it would almost certainly let me 5th someone, with 4th working.

Might possibly be when theres alot of ppl fighting on screen spammign auras that 5th gets laggy/buggy? I'm sure strelka can provide you the footage. You obviously know how it works better than us

5th was completely bugged tonight at WotW just now, seemed humans having some similar issues too

It wouldn't cast at all even on a standing target?

Thing is 5th isn't really any diferent to any other aura of the same attack type so if 5th is bugging I would expect the others to be doing the same thing.

I currently have no idea what is wrong. I am currently working on a patch right now so once I get that out of the way I will be able to focus on this issue.
