Pacify duration incorrect for timeline

I have recently discovered that the spell 'Pacify' is using the incorrect duration for our timeline. Currently it lasts for 7 ticks, however, it should last ~7minutes.

2003-01-09 11:57 Changed Durationtext from 4.9 mins @L39 to 7.5 mins @L65 to 7 ticks

I always thought it was funny that calm lasts for 2+ minutes and the next lull spell up the line lats for 7 ticks.

same, why always used calm instead.

Fixed, pending update.

... this is going to be huge.

Excellent sluething OP!

Complete noob, but does update mean next download? Or are there regular server side updates?

(I've been soloing in an area that would love a 7 min lull...)

Also - wake of tranquilty also has a Pacify effect so assuming that it will also be bumped to 7 minutes?

Generally speaking the staff releases server-side fixes that require client updates in tandem with fixes that don't. In other words, usually yes, you'll have to wait for the next downloadable patch file to appear before this will be in the game.

But since this fix could be made without changing anyone's client, in theory it could happen sooner ... I just wouldn't expect it. You have to keep in mind that for developers every "release" has a cost, so they generally don't make unnecessary releases unless there is a pressing reason (and since this has gone unfixed for ten years, it's sort of the opposite of "pressing").
