Adventurer area calm is bugged

**Inocybe** · Nov 10th, 2002, 06:43:56

Friend of the Wild is behaving like an area root rather than area calm.

Have test casted on various mobs, various levels, outdoors, and I get the following:

1) cannot sit down to use heal/nano kits
2) continue to receive attack messages as long as I am in the vicinity
3) when the mob has broken through, it retains hate and will come to attack me straightaway

FC, your automated email system doesn't seem to be working.

I submitted this bug using the feedback form on the main page. There was no auto-responder message. Which means I don't even know if my bug report ever reached you or not.

I'm now wondering how many bug reports actually reach you via email.

Send them as PM to Cz

Bump for this.

Area calm doesnt work.

As Ino said, it works as an area root rather than a calm. The mobs are rooted in place but still attack if you get close.

Obviously with ya still considered as having aggro ya cant sit to use kits etc.

Needs fixing. A calm that doesnt calm isnt a calm, so i consider that a major bug

Okay, lets give everything a try after this wednesday emergency patch (just hope they don't break anything this time), then I'm going to start a new tread compiling a list of stuff that affects adventurer gameplay (in the adventurer forum that is), using darkbanes test bug tread as a template. Screw waiting for FC to bring back the professional program, lets start our own!

I was AoE mezzing various plants (was looking for notum chips/fragments) in EFP yesterday (tuesday 12th) and it did work as intended for me at least...

**Inocybe** · Nov 17th, 2002, 04:46:30

Yeah, what i've reported are the times FotW is not working as an area mezz - hence bug.

Automated email system also not working, FC -- are you receiving our bug reports??

**Inocybe** · Nov 25th, 2002, 15:46:47

So is this bug
... being acknowledged?
... being fixed?

... or being ignored like the morph animations bugs we have been suffering since Beta and til today has never been acknowledged/fixed?

**Inocybe** · Dec 30th, 2002, 11:13:35

I have not forgotten.

This bug long with several dozens out there just seem to be ignored by the upper FC staff.

Afaik ADv area calm does work, but only before hate is established, and If i remember correcty this is intended?

yes and no.
hate is established simply by casting the nano. this is the standard behavior of hostile nanos, and is the source of the problem. i've seen what ino is talking about and it appears to be a timing issue... it looks like the rooting effect and initial aggro are resolved before the `am i in combat' check occurs, which causes the (already broken) `erase hate and cease combat' aspect of the mez to be skipped. (see the nt forum for more comprehensive analyses of the mechanics of mez)
since normal area mez doesn't make the two unconventional checks (outdoors, non-combat) the advy area mez makes, this flaw in the resolution of its effects never came to light until now (well, until early november at least...)
