Group ward line???

[Feanor Baugl]

<div>Has anyone heard or read anything that would indicate that the devs are looking into our group ward line.</div><div>I'm starting to get really annoyed that it doesn't work. If SOE feel that the line is working as inteded then they I feel that they atleast could hve the curtisy ot tell us</div>

<div></div>hrm, what's not working?

If u land the group ward before the old one has expired the ward u just landed wont ward any dmg what so ever. U'll have the spell icon indicating that u have the ward up but it wont do anything. I know it's possible to work around this broken issue, but being able to work around it shouldn't be a reason for not fixing it<div></div>

<div></div><div>from what i understand, some people are having trouble with this:</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>You cast group ward, once the spells back up again you cast it again (trying to chain cast it)</div><div> </div><div>Now what happens is...If the group ward did not wear off before you recast it, it disables the warding effect until the group ward wears off the entire group, then you can recast it.</div><div> </div><div>If that makes sense =/</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Err he must have just posted that...or I didn't scroll down lol......=/</div><p>Message Edited by GurgGuardianLord on <span class="date_text">01-14-2006</span><span class="time_text">01:30 PM</span></p>

I've done so much testing so I'm 100% sure that it always happens. I've bugreported it twiceI can only see 3 ways SOE is handling it.1: They've aknowledge this problem and are tryin to fix it (if so then it would be nice to hear from them that it's being dealt with)2: They aknowledege this problem and is ignoring it since its possible to work around it (again why not just tell us that)3: They implemented this as a mean to prevent chain warding and decide that we don't have a need to know the reason just to accept it (and who can guess.... why not tell us)Either way Defilers has hade broken spells for so long that u'd think that they would be better to inform and fix stuff a bit faster then pre DoF since basiclly everyone knows that we basiclly gets left behind or even ignored, sorry for those that do the work on Defilers but that's just how I feel seeing all kinds of fixes for other classes in every other updateBut I'll hang in there and hope for the best....<div></div>

<div></div>I have no problems with eithe my pet ward, solo ward, group ward, bonus wards...  they all stack and absorb damage just fine.

<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>I haven't got Carrion Aegis yet so perhaps I should refrain from sayin that the entier line is broken. But since all the spells before Aegis is broken kinda makes me draw the conclusion that the entier line is. Sorry if that's not the case but it doesn't really matter we shouldn't have to wait unutl mid 50 to get a spell in the line that's workingAnd I'm surprised that the group ward stack without problem for u Xaritha since everytime in every situation I test all the previous spell it wont ward if I chain ward. or did I missunderstood because the solo ward and the group ward stack without problem for me as well it's the chain wardin the group line that causes the bug<div></div><p><span class="time_text"></span></p><p>Message Edited by Feanor Bauglir on <span class="date_text">01-15-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:41 AM</span></p>

<div></div>Carrion Aegis does suffer from this bug.  I have /bugged this annoying bug since the second week of the expansion.  If it was intended to work this way, they would have made it a "focus" spell like Loathsome Seal, where it's either up or it isn't, there is no refreshing of it.
