Smite evil bugged?

[therodge]

<DIV>is it just me or is smite evil not hitting PC's inn duels or in pvp</DIV>

[Wulfborne]

I haven't checked with a duel (I'm PvE), but make sure you aren't fighting any of those "good-only" aligned classes. It doesn't work on every class. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> (You probably already know that, though).~Hawke<div></div>

Just got another AP point...any news on PVP servers yet?

[Arraza]

<DIV>I just bugged smite evil myself on a PVE server, I was doing aviak writs and kept getting the message that no targets were available.  Very annoying.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Hopefully they sneak in a fix if indeed it affects PVP servers in tonights apparently emergency update...Taking servers down at 9 PM pacific for 2 hours on a Friday night...

Ive been complaining for a few days (since frostfell) From what I noticed when I first got the skill it had the little clicky PVP tone down icon originally...Now it doesnt SO my best guess is they took out the PVP scale and forgot to make it do anything in PVP? And being on a PVP server this hurts...alot im losing my 3k nuke <div></div>

[Brigh]

Tick tock....98% to next AP so just about one more point to go.I might as well finish it and bug report it if it still isn't working when I get it.

[Wulfborne]

It seems that some people are saying that Smite Evil is no longer hitting NPCs? I used it extensively last night against many different creatures... The only ones it didn't hit were NPCs that were of the "good only" classes. It hit everything else I threw it at.~Hawke<div></div>

It does hit NPC but doesnt hit PC on PVP server. Already bugged it and hope a fix will be put in soon. This is hurting me in PVP.

<DIV>I don't know, the way I figure it, anything thats attacking me is evil. lol</DIV>

<P>Finally got it and yes it is bugged in PVP. It hits no one.</P> <P>It would not hit a SK.</P> <P>In PVE it hits the ardent / hardened collusus in Lavastorm. Why? They are mindless rocks. They don't cast spells.</P> <P>I guess for some reason in the coding background they are classified under one of the evil categories.</P> <P>It also hits the drakes in LS.</P> <P>I found it hits most, if not all goblins in LS too.</P> <P> </P>

(BTW, it hits the rocks because they are not a Good-only class. Those classes that are good-only are the only things Smite Evil won't hit...works on animals and junk, too).It is also not working in /duels on the PvE servers. I dueled an SK the other night and it wouldn't hit him.~Hawke</div>

<DIV>Ok I was thinking it was supposed to hit evil only classes and would not hit neutral things.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Rast]

originally that was the case, but it made it so worthless they gave in and allowed it to hit anything that wasn't 100% good <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.

It does not hit the sulphurous emissions in Split Paw upper tunnels...I suppose we can start a thread on what it does not hit in PVE at least :p

[enjoilab]

<P>proof for soe that is it beyond bugged...notice thats a warden i am facing</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="http://files.filefront.com/EverQuest2_2006_12_27_15_2avi/;6431519;;/fileinfo.html" target=_blank>http://files.filefront.com/EverQuest2_2006_12_27_15_2avi/;6431519;;/fileinfo.html</A></P>

FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY THREE MEGABYTES???!!!Is this a movie???

[enjoilab]

<DIV>that was using the 30 sec trial of fraps...</DIV>

[Canel]

<DIV>seems to me, that concerning PVP, it is a bug, and should be fixed. I believe that there are some classes listed on the spell that cannot be effected, even though they are neutral classes (maybe not...havnt been on in a while) I.E wardens.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In duels a.k.a PVE, since noone is at war with eachother, even a SK is not "evil" as in the terms of the spell readout. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I actully made a post on the whole "what does smite evil hit most" somewhre, dun know where it got to will search after this post, but yea, anything that is scowling ot you I believe, or "traditionally" evil (goblins, undead etc.) I havnt relaly found anything it doesnt work against yet, I suppose city guards would be some tho hehe.</DIV>

[therodge]

<P>ok let me clear this up for everyone</P> <P> </P> <P>1.smite evil is not bugged in any pve it will hit any multi classed mobs (aka most animals) and ll evil and neurtral mobs it will not hit,</P> <P>illutionist mobs (visionary writs in barren sky s an illutionis)</P> <P>paladin mobs (wont hit avatar of valor but thats a given)</P> <P>etc etc etc, good mobs wont be hit</P> <P>it wont hti anyone in pvp regardless of class or level wont hit at all </P>

[Brigh]

and we are still waiting for a fix

[Brigh]

I actually got a reply from a coder I sent PM about this to.He had no idea it was bugged so I related the threads on the issue and what it does not do.

[lavasoul]

<DIV>Its been about 3 week since I last bugged it and hope a fix be put in.</DIV>

[Brigh]

Reply again:"I'll look into it next week when I get back from vacation."So there is hope.

[Wulfborne]

<P>The interesting thing is that I had heard that they read through every single bug report sent in... If so many sent in these reports, how is it that they were still unaware that there's a bug?</P> <P>~Hawke</P>

[lavasoul]

<DIV>Any word on when a fix for this will be in?</DIV>

[Brigh]

Just what was told...it isn't even "next week" yet...he still has to get to work today, assuming he starts work today Monday...me posting early morning <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
