BUG: Swarm of Bats Canceling with 8 seconds remaining

[krogareq]

<DIV>I believe this is a legitimate bug that is best presented with visual evidence regarding the duration of Swarm of Bats.</DIV> <DIV>I've noticed this consistently lately.  No matter what zone, what mob, Swarm of Bats is canceling consistently with 8 seconds left.  It starts with 24 sec duration and auto cancels at 8sec remaining.  I never noticed this until SOE got the data feed correct showing the duration of buffs to work properly.  Here are some screen shots to illustrate the problem.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In the screen shots below, using Ghastly Stench as a reference, Swarm of Bats had 9.5 seconds remaining in the 2nd picture.  In the 3rd picture, 1.8 seconds later Swarm of Bats is gone.  This is happening all of the time at exactly the same time.  I would think it must be a problem with the coding of the spell and not some other factors.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If someone can replicate this problem, or explain it, please post.  Other wise, I think this requires Dev Attention.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1066901/swarm1.JPG"><A href="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1066901/swarm1.JPG" target=_blank></A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1066901/swarm2.JPG"></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1066901/swarm3.JPG"></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1066901/swarm4.JPG"></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I think this has been the case since the spell was added to the game in Bloodline.  I think I /bug 'd it way back when.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think a few of our other spells are like this too - most memorable to me at this time is Telamina's the level 10 training snare.  It always cuts out with 4 secs or so remaining.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm gonna hold off making any more stink about borked timers until after the revamp though.  Hopefully they will be fixed by then, and if not Im sure the devs will be working on a whole list of bugs and will get to it with the rest.  For the time being though, I think it will just be put on the back burner since everything is changing with the revamp.  I'll hold off on any more 'bug reports till then.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But, I do agree it is annoying.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
