Insolent Gibe broken

[Khal]

<div></div><div></div>A change was made to this spell about a month ago. It was an out of encounter taunt, and was changed to a limit of 8 targets. Unfortunately, players and pets counted in that 8. The fix for this was put into the next live update, so we had to wait weeks.<p>Today was the day when the fix was to be put in. Now the spell is completely and totally broken. When standing alone next to a mob it will not even agro them when used. It hits 0 targets and taunts nothing.</p><p>Please fix this ASAP. This is the berserkers best taunt and we have been waiting weeks for a fix, and now it is totally useless.</p><p>(also posted on the spells and combat arts board)</p><p><span class="time_text"></span> </p><p><span class="time_text"><a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=spells&message.id=9992" target="_blank">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=spells&message.id=9992</a></span></p><p>Message Edited by Khalad on <span class="date_text">03-24-2006</span><span class="time_text">04:10 PM</span></p>

<div></div><div>Good god your kidding me ... that explains that.</div><div> </div><div>Last night i was in the Sanctum and when tanking i was merely happy that it didnt agro the friggen Necro's pets but there were a few times i threw it up and was confused that it didnt turn the adds towards me but they continued on to the Mystic. I thought perhaps he was just throwing up alot of wards and debuffs but this explains alot. DAMNIT when are they going to friggen fix our taunt right!!! This is sad, we cant even use one of our best taunts.</div>

I just don't understand how they keep letting crap like this happen.  Why don't the test ANYTHING before putting it on live servers???  I mean jesus christ this is ridiculous.  We are paying for this game.  So they fixed it so it dosn't hit other players and their pets anymore by changing it so it doesn't hit ANYTHING.  Real Fing smart.  Get it together SOE!<div></div>

[FightGame]

<div>Don't they test anything themselves?  Doesn't it then go to the test servers?  After it is confirmed to work, and work properly, at the test servers, doesn't it then go to the live servers? </div><div> </div><div>I'm really starting to think that the people in charge of fixing bugs, are doing these things on purpose, to secure their job.  They "fix" one thing, but break something else....over and over and over again.</div><div> </div><div>WHERE'S THE QUALITY CONTROL?</div><div> </div><div>THIS IS BS.</div><div> </div><div>IT'S  ONE  THING  AFTER  ANOTHER,  AND  I'M  BEGINING  TO  THINK  MY  MONEY  CAN  BE  BETTER  SPENT.</div>

<div></div>Khalad, your link points to your Rak'leklo thread, not the Insolent gibe one.Poster just above me, you might want to ask for fixes with another tone, I mean, yeah it's broken and that's sad, but conspiracy theories about breaking more things on purpose while fixing bugs, c'mon ...<div></div><p>Message Edited by Lechacal on <span class="date_text">03-24-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:35 PM</span></p>

<div>Ack, sorry about the wrong link, alot of issues atm for me with the game and I usually post this at work on a blackberry so I dont notice sometimes.  Thanks for correction.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>and um, post on sword too, i would love to have that fixed</div>

[SugarGirl]

<div>Hmmm... good thing I am stuck in the arctic and can't log on ATM. I think this would be the last straw for me. I haven't been too impressed with any of the revisions that have made to my adventuring OR my crafting classes. Hopefully they get this fixed. I depend on it.</div>

[infernus006]

As a test I stood in amongst a bunch of non-aggro gray mobs and casted this spell and it didn't do anything.  Being an out-of-encounter AOE taunt that's supposed to hit up to 8 mobs that are within a 15m radius of the caster at least 8 of those mobs should have aggroed me but not a one of them even flinched.  I have sent a petition about this and I expect a hotfix to be applied right away to correct this huge problem with one of our most important abilities.<div></div>

[FightGame]

<div></div><div></div><div></div><div> Doesn't this ability require that you (or someone) actually hit the mob?</div><div>I'm at work right now, so I can't see it, but it seems I remember it saying something about it adding so much hate, each time the enemy is hit.  Now whether that hit can come from you, and/or a groupie, I don't know.</div><div> </div><div>On another note, did anyone else notice how Open Wounds says it only affects up to 4 enemies?  Has it been this way, and I just noticed it?  Or was this another nerf they just recently hit us with?  This one went from no max (and all around), to 8 (if they were in front of you), now to 4 (I assume still must be in front of you), pretty quick.</div><p>Message Edited by FightGame on <span class="date_text">03-24-2006</span><span class="time_text">06:46 PM</span></p>

<div></div>No.... it procs when YOU are hit, like your taunting defense. IG initially bursts an out of encounter of 1000 hate for 15 meters, and then procs for hate when you are hit.

[SlapnutsGT]

Im disgusted.This is something I feel they need to work to fix ASAP and it seem they are lollygagging on it, and wel will probably not see a fix until next LU.  What the hell is Sony's deal. ~gust<div></div>

[owo]

<div></div>NEED FIX !!

[wcheet]

<div></div>aye this must be sorted, pls keep the thread alive till it is, also petition it like a mofo!

[infernus006]

We all should be spamming them with bug reports as well I think.<div></div>

[rightormig]

<div></div><p>PLEASE FIX This spell now!</p>

[infernus006]

There is still no acknowledgement of this problem by the devs.<div></div>

[Bonesplit]

<div>Please fix this SOE, its a huge issue for Zerkers!</div>

[-Aonein-]

<div></div>Finally got a stealth fix in todays update, enjoy Zerkers and thanks sony.

[Khal]

<div><div>Fixed in the March 28th patch.</div><div> </div><div>Stealth fixed or course, they couldnt give us a small note saying its been fixed.  That would mean they would have to admit they messed it up and drug their feet for a month.  Thanks for fixing it, don't need to sound ungratefull, but acting like it was never broke and just fixing it without a word, well whatever.</div></div>

[Sambora]

<div></div><div></div>Well at least the issue finally got addressed and fixed.  Thanks for the info Khalad<p>Message Edited by Sambora on <span class="date_text">03-28-2006</span><span class="time_text">09:38 AM</span></p>

<div></div><p>They actually mentioned it at the bottom of the live Update notes for the 28th:</p><p><a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=stat&message.id=280" target="_blank">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=stat&message.id=280</a></p><p> </p><p>Thank god it's been fixed at least!</p>

[Khal]

<div>That message about Gibe WAS NOT there this morning, was added late, heh.</div>

[infernus006]

Well I am glad it's fixed and I am glad they decided to put it in the notes too.<div></div>

[bLaZe]

<div>Please tell me how this was fixed or is everyone assuming because the updates said it was fixed that it is so? I tried it today on 8 different encounted and not ONCE did it proc on the mob as it was beating on me and without one taunt the healer got the mobs in less then 2 heals. So if in fact this is fixed i would like you then to tell me how and why you think so.</div>

[infernus006]

After LU21 the initial AOE taunt did not work at all.  To test this I went into a patch of misc gray mobs in TT and casted the spell and I did not get any aggro.  That's how I knew it was broken for sure.  However the proc portian of the spell seemed to still work for me although others were saying that didn't work for them either.  Anyways, after days of screaming about it SOE finally fixes it and it does seem to work fine for me now.  As a test I went back to the same exact spot I was testing it before and this time I got at least 5 adds from casting the spell, which indicates that it is working.  And the hate proc portian of the spell still seems to be working fine for me as well as far as I can tell.  So as far as I am concerned it is fixed.<div></div>
