I imagine that's going to get "fixed"

[Asha]

That's a fucking huge boost to pures. :) / :(

Well it should. It's clearly a bug.

[crb]

I don't think its a bug.

If I shoot two fireballs at a griffin, and it dodges the first, but not the second, is it a bug?

No physical contact is required for a runestaff flare to go off, so why shouldn't they go off when the griffin dodges the primary attack?

In anycase, if it were a bug, I think it'd already be fixed as this is rather obvious and something that would have stuck out as they built the ability.

[Gelston]

Yeah, it does seem to be a blatently obvious thing that would have been caught in QC.

Yeah, also found a bug where a rapid fired wizard could kill just about anything by missing with 901 34534 times and having their runestaff flare.

You realize that you're talking about Simu QC right?

Yes but it should still work for sorcerers.

[Allereli]

Second, we now have a few merchant services for runestaves. All of the services are flares which can trigger when casting a spell.

Don't know what they intended, but the original post announcing the flares doesn't say anything about hitting the target.

[m444w]

It will get fixed the first time someone griefs an npc, and ruins an event for 100 people. Have no fear.

[droit]

It's already fixed. Anyone who thought that might have been intended was delusional.

They usually like to call things features that slip through qc until some gm has time or is told to make it a priority. Never meant that it was a good thing and should not be fixed
