For the devs: "Multi-Chanter" Mantra Bug Details

So as I'm sure you know the mantra limit for parties is four. Over four and the mantras rotate in and out of effect. In an effort to hopefully expedite the fix on this bug I've done some testing to further flesh out what is going on with mantras.

At the moment the bug is such that:

Chanter 1 is running mantras "A", "B", and "C".

Chanter 2 is running mantras "A", "B", and "D".

On a working system, the party would receive mantras A + B + C + D.

On Gamez, the party receives A + B, while C and D cycle in and out of effect. It also seems that cast order matters as the last two mantras cast will be the ones that cycle. For example:

Chanter 1 casts A, then C, and then B.
Chanter 2 casts A, then B, then D.

Mantras B and D will cycle in and out of effect.

On the other hand, if Chanter 1 is running mantras A, B, and C, while Chanter 2 is running ONLY mantra D all four mantras will stack in effect. The four mantras will also stack if Chanter 1 runs mantras A and B while Chanter 2 runs mantras C and D. The problem seems to stem not from which mantras overlap but rather which mantras are cast first by each chanter and how the two mantra sets merge once the chanters come together.

Anyway I hope the devs read this and that it helps.

Also, for what it's worth, the mantra system did not break until the 3.7 update as far as I'm aware. Prior to this update mantra stacking worked correctly.


On a related note, I've posted another thread detailing a simple Chanter bug related to the skills "Word of Inspiration" and "Lucidity" here:
http://forum.gameznetwork.com/f52/g...ides-ones-im-sure-youre-already-aware-144675/

It received less than a dozen views and no replies. Hopefully this and that post gets more attention/feedback. One can only hope.

 

been a long time since ive seen anyone give enough basic info about any problem, let along a full breakdown analysis. good job on this one.

 

4.5 month bump for a bug that is still present on the server.

 

Welcome back and thanks for the info.
