2 second cast timer and stealth and invis.

HardcoreCasual · 03-10-2008, 12:18 PM

Didn't loads of people complain about the 2 sec. cast timer and how it broke their invis and stealth when collecting quest updates and interacting with world items?

Didn't SOE put this live with a fix to ensure that it didn't break invis/stealth, only to have it break again when Kunark went live?

How did SOE manage to worm their way out of their promise to ensure that this wouldn't affect stealth and invis?

These forums are dead on the subject, so are the official ones.

I guess it mustn't be as important as the original outcry made it seem.

The cast timer on stealth has never been a problem for me. It's the cool down timer that sucks.

Beyond that, stealth and invisibility have basically been fucked up since shortly after launch. Remember when a mob had to make an opposed roll to see through stealth? And when stealth was an upgradeable spell?

I think that's what most people wonder while reading your posts, though. Just saying...

You might wanna consider just posting less.

(But hey, you raided T1 a few months ago!!!)

Probably the same way they get out of everything; they just don't do it. I actually don't remember them saying they would fix it.

Me neither. Think it's actually working as intended.

Unconvenient but meh... not a reason to QQ, is it? There's more important things wrong with the game atm sadly.

What does t1 raiding have to do with post count or 2sec cast times?

Just saying.

Test Update notes: Friday, September 7th

The change was made on Test, before the cast timer went live.
The cast timer went in with GU39 and all was well with invis/stealth. After GU40 the cast timer once again broke all invis/stealth abilities while collecting updates and interacting with "world objects"...etc.

Really, where?
All I see is some test update notes that never made it to live.
