Bug Broken skills.

[alexhoff1]

Skills seem to be broken currently,
the broken part is that you can no longer bind a skill to someones name, and have your cursor on a block. it just won't cast the skill.

Skills affected by this (wizard)
bolt
root
shock
blink

Any other skills that could be bound to a name, test it out. you have to have your cursor in the air OR targeting the player.

blink can't be cast on blocks anymore - this is really frustrating when trying to get into stuff too -.-
Root can't be cast if bound to a name and inversioned, it seems aswell.
Root also seems to have a delay, I aimed at the player but it would not cast. it's really wierd, I can't figure out what is broken with it.

you cannot bind smite to a name and tbh i prefer people not being able to bind it to a name makes pvp more interesting than like necros running around not even aiming and just drainsouling

bug report -.- not suggestions.

bug report -.- not suggestions.

We should care why?

This is intentional (I think?), you shouldn't be able to simply slaughter anyone by staring into the sky. If my "autoattacks" were homing, I just needed to be within 5 blocks of you, and swing my axe it'd be pretty unfair right? What about a rangers arrow? Should it curve at a 90 degree angle when it misses, only to strike you in the ass?

Same should be said for targeted skills, you should need to AIM with them, as it adds a little more skill requirement.

Please keep this ontopic.

I tested the following skills;
Dispel
Smite
Bandage
Pray

I was only able to use smite a few times tonight at longrange, near the max range of it.
My heals were sticking me into the "slowed" "Casting" state and I was unable to jump or flee.
I had to spam keys to make them finally work and by then I was done for.
I bind my skills to items I can hold, I do not use keybinds.
I was using right click to try to cast skills.

Edit: for clarity

I'd like to report the same issue, AFTER I relogged back into spoutcraft tonight.

ALL of my cleric skills were broken (lvl 1-44).

I bind my items to skills, I don't use keybinds because I find them irritating when typing that I randomly kill the person infront of me.

First off, no where does it state we are not allowed to discuss "Bugs" that have been reported, so don't try and act like you have some power to tell us what we can and cant do. Secondly, take a look at http://herocraftonline.com/main/threads/name-binded-skills.22575/#post-201573 for discussion about healing spells being able to be bound to a persons name.

I've already read it and I agree, damage spells shouldn't be bound against a player name, should require skill.

@Brutalacerate told us not to be a dick and post bullshit like on suggestions and bug report threads on teamspeak when he removed someone's posting powers.

But, trying to defend yourself by saying "oh its not in the rules!" is pathetic and childish on something like this, because you know damn well it says to be respectful and courteous to other players. Also, it's "BUG REPORTING" not "C12's OPINIONS".



I've already read it and I agree, damage spells shouldn't be bound against a player name, should require skill.

So allow me to keep the same logic going, why the hell did you post your opinion here? Its bug reporting after all...

If you're not allowed to question someone elses opinion then thats a little pathetic. There are statements here that raise legitimate questions on wither or not this should be something to be fixed or not. Try and realize that before you decide that just because it hurt how you play it should be un-questioned on being fixed or not.

 

[xexorian]

He said skills were not binding correctly, and that they were not able to use them when targeting blocks. That is clearly a very serious issue since it is very clearly breaking your ability to pvp or fight monsters, even.

[cgodmer]

You are flaming after you tell them not to.
EDIT: I was talking to you @xexorian

 

[c12095]

Okay, if this is a discussion now. Let me go back to my original argument with your statement:

"Why should we care"
who is we?
what does "you caring" have to do with actual game mechanics he was talking about?

He said skills were not binding correctly, and that they were not able to use them when targeting blocks. That is clearly a very serious issue since it is very clearly breaking your ability to pvp or fight monsters, even.

My point being, more information than an opinion, I simply stated a fact here. You were clearly being rude to him and I was being rude to you for you being rude to him in a bug reporting thread, and for you not keeping this ontopic.

very clearly,

"why should we care" is not fucking on topic nor discusses game mechanics.

"Try and realize that before you decide that just because it hurt how you play it should be un-questioned on being fixed or not." "

Unquestioned? I didn't post a bug report so you could fucking flail at it and put your 2 cents into it. You're trolling it with useless garbage. He didn't post it for that reason either.

As I said before,

"Please keep this ontopic. This is not a suggestions thread. It sure as hell is not for your personal opinion on whether or not you give a fuck."

Thank you,
xexorian

First off, you really do need to calm down your flaming a little bit here, this is a discussion, and I think your Ego is taking it a little too far at this point.

To your first question,

"Why should we care"
who is we?
what does "you caring" have to do with actual game mechanics he was talking about?

That was aimed at the fact that he was trying to allow no one to comment on this thread because it was a bug report, where I have seen many bug report threads turn into discussion threads. Now if you cared to take this into context, you would realize he doesn't want an apposing argument because it would lower his ability in PvP. However many people have raised concerns that this might be a needed fix, even if it is considered a bug. If Kainzo were to take one look at this, with no apposing views, it has a much better chance of being changed than if it were to have some more view points on if this should really be changed or not. Please try to see the big picture here before you fly off the handle like this.

The rest of your post is pretty much more of you doing what your telling me to stop doing, like @cgodmer was kind enough to point out, so i'll leave that alone at this point.

 

[xexorian]

I digress to your wisdom. However, calling me out multiple times on my ego is flaming as well. I did not see and still do not see your point about him trying to not allow anyone to comment on the thread, I came here after he pointed out he had already reported the same issue as me. I came to elaborate it was reproducing for me. I don't follow the context you're trying to point out here.

With that, I'll leave it alone. And I'll edit this post too, if you could kindly edit all the crap out of yours. Thanks.

I mostly see all of this useless discussion as being completely offtopic, kainzo and the other devs don't need to read the bickering, just what's going on/being reported.

My point was that it's not a suggestions thread to fix it, we're reporting a bug because it has changed since how it was working after the latest updates. If it's not a bug, they can easily tell us that in one sentence and lock the thread without all of the "Why should we care" "Your ego this" "your ego that" "don't tell me what to do" "you're not the boss of me" drama.

 

[MrAwesomeShadow]

Ok guys, not trying to tell you guys with any authority, but can we just please stop? This is about broken skills, not someone's ego.

 

[Garrythegazelle]

Yeah I agree with MrAwesomeShadow. Not sure why C12 all of a sudden flipped out but it's w/e.

I have notice the same with as alexhoff1 with a few of my skills. Excavate only works when looking in the air. This means when I'm mining I can't just keep using the skill while I'm digging but I have to turn around in my mine shaft to use the skill then turn back around where I'm digging.
