Spells: Calm only works with a dirrect line of site

guineapig · #1 12-17-2009, 02:28 PM

Something is definitely wrong with this spell and possibly others in the same spell line.

While in Paw the spell was almost completely useless due to the tight corners in certain areas. This was not the way the spell line worked on live.

You should be able to assist the puller and cast the spell.

(I know this was posted already http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ght=line+sight but it's marked as resolved and clearly is not resolved.)

How strange. My wife and I can use lull/soothe/calm/etc without direct line of sight. I think it has something to do with which version of the modified files you're using.

bump

Can anyone else confirm that the enchanter spell Calm is working for them without a direct line of sight?

Because mine still does not work and I'm starting to wonder if a messed up spell file could cause something like this to occur.

EDIT: Just found this post:

However the spell file mentioned is from 9/30/09 and I'm pretty sure it's been updated recently. So now I'm not sure if I should mess with that or not.

Think one of the newer spell files broke this so a lot of calmers use the older version...

Ah, thanks for the tip. I guess I will give it a shot...

I've never had any problems with Calm needing LOS, fwiw. I use the spells.txt file from the 12/18 update patch notes.

Well I'm getting a lot of mixed messages then. Some people say it's common knowledge that the spell is broken and others say they have never had a problem.

Anybody have any theories???

I have experienced this issue with Harmony as well, but having never played a class that can reduce agro I didn't know it was a problem. I have not installed the 12/18 spells.txt yet either. I will try that tonight and see if I can give you a little more information to work with, guinea.

I've had 3 or 4 members of my guild have this issue.

I had them re-download the spell file and they haven't had an issue since.

This was before december

Cool, thanks man.

I'm really curious now where I went wrong. Can't recall if I have changed my spell file once or twice since starting on this server.

I know Lull didn't work without LoS in my teens, and I know Calm doesn't work without LoS now... but I basically soloed through my 20s so it might have been working for a short time and I wouldn't have even known it.

It's a vital class defining ability, and I especially need it to work now that I'm frequenting LGuk.
