Importaint informations for MAGES

Post by Nitram »

Hello Players of the mages,

You shall know that you have to be pretty careful with the magic until now. The point is, that the magic crashes the server. In case you start casting a spell with a character as target and the spell takes effect when the character is away. "away" means for monsters dead and for players logged out.

In case the spell is casted at a character who is not there anymore, the server will crash instandly. Result is, your players friends get mad and the staff gets mad. But the players do not know who did it ;-)

Anyway. Everyone who is actually able to cast, be careful until this is fixed. Since it needs a server update it could take some time. In case it does not work and the players of our mages are not able to avoid those crashing situations, there is sadly no way around disableling the whole magic system until the bug is solved.
To disable it is rather easy and safe, but we hope it works without.

It may be better for now not to target using a wand or staff but to just target the slower way i.e. spell then click target. Thank you for not disabling the magic system right away.

The slower way produces the crashes aswell, just don't use spells with a long casting time.

One knockdown by a mage. Is it really that hard to avoid those spells...
