ancestral shield

Postby Bilraex » Mon May 12, 2003 1:30 pm

Ive noticed that sometimes with shield you get the message that it has absorbed too much dmg and disipates, and if you do a sc it doesnt show up as active. So at this point i will throw another shield up and about 2 rnds later it drops with the normal your ancestors depart,

so it appears that the new shield is somehow getting on the old shields counter.

And speeking of counters i think the duration of this spell should be upped abit. it doesnt last very long as it is.

Which reminds me, sounds like what was being reported with time stop a while back too. Iyachtu offered it might have to do with having it drop prematurely in combat etc., and while I didn't follow up on that, been watching it for a while now and I think it an accurate guess. :)

My soon-to-be ex-husband had that same problem. Is there a little blue pill for mud code?

This has to do with spells that have durations in seconds, not minutes (thuse making it so we don't have the tick problem that drops the spell in 2 seconds sometimes on short duration minute-based spells).

Gotta think of a way to avoid it.

if the problem is the duration being in seconds then the easy fix is to just do the duration in minutes :P
problem fixed!

The exact same thing happens with Preserve. I'm done casting this low level spell after 2 stars but the code doesn't recognize this and continues to cast for another 4 stars or so.

with the many prisms coming a group's way now, it think it would be nice if ancestral shield had a chance of also absorbing stun effects from like thundeblast and a chance of absorbing para/poison/blind etc.. effects from a prism
