New casting speed.

Author Content Date
Not sure whether lupis was a praise or critique thread so I made this sorry if it was a critique lupi.

Basically me and a few others I have spoken too have experienced a few null casts,

For example 1 in every 10 heals fails and sometimes have to move to start casting again.
The main problem is weaken although it seems more stable if you keep it highlighted until the animation appears this is extremely annoying also when using light sword or something similar every now and again you cast but instead of doing any damage or showing animation of sword moving the character seems to push arms out like it would when weakening but with no spell animation.

would like to thank people for taking time to read and maybe adding or arguing against it I am all for making everyone have equal opportunity and I realise this isn't a huge problem in terms of not being able to hunt with magic, it's more of an annoying feeling which 'seems' buggy.

:D

The animation seems really out of sync with the spell hit. Like when you start your rotation of weaken then light sword or whatever the animation is regular but then it speeds up but the animation is all that seems to speed up cause the hp bar on the mob doesn't go down at the same time as the animation hits it if that makes sense.

The miss fires also happen as well

Always had that issue (even since esoma) where you have to change co-ords to be able to cast.

But yeah, ive definitley noticed the null casts; especially on weaken. Goes through the whole cast animation and acts as if the monster is out of range - which it isnt.

I agree - though a miscast of weaken could be quite significant for pvp.

Only difference I have noticed from questing, is when longer casting spells (e.g weaken / fw) get broken from melle attack, there seems to be a massive delay till you can cast again.

Also THIS. Most of the time I have to cast weaken 2-3 times before it works :/


But I hadn't noticed any other changes. What's this thing about staff speed? My spells seem to be about the same(?) Unless that's due to lag. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

I think they have increased the tolerance for lag when casting... so Lag doesnt effect casting speed as much. and to try remove the advantage given by programs like PZ

But it seems to have brought a few new bugs with it. im sure they're working on it

I am also having problems with spells not actually casting

It needs slowing down! Or weapons speed increasing


Iphios was casting faster than a c speed bow in vod last night...

Ive experienced the weaken thing when being interrupted for a few months tbh so dont think its anything to do with update. Does seem a bit unresponsive at times. Did a bit of testing last night and didnt have a problem when hunting mobs other than the usual bugs that come with magic mobs. I did all this with Pz on so maybe the 2 were conflicting in some way but all in all limiting the cast speed for all does seem a fairer way to go. also


MASSIVE ISSUE
When fighting Iphios i was slowed by Gump. usually i have to change spells to an AOE that isnt effected by slow. This made my explosion quicker than any casting ive seen before. Slow only affecting the animation.

Thanks
