The past few days, I've been having intermittent issues with casting deluge. My character goes through the animation, it goes on cool-down, and the mermaid appears.. but no blue appears, no hp buff appears, and the party does not get the extra healing. I confirmed with guildies with me and they also do not see the blue or get the buff. It's not an every time thing, and I don't get stunned during it.. has anyone else ran into this? The only other graphics issue I'm having is sometimes not seeing sanctuary, but I hear the spell and do receive healing from that.

Images spoilered since they're large.. first screenshot is a few seconds after cast (when I should have seen blue, so I took a screenie since it didn't appear), then second is 6 seconds after (still no blue)

I have the same bug since the last update.
Sometimes it simply doesn't appear, sometimes it come after 6sec and then I have only 2 tick, sometimes it full works.
Very strange.

Same thing happened with me. Mermaid appeared but blue floor isn't there.

I have the same problem. Sometimes it depends on the position of the camera. I noticed when I've got it too zoomed in, it won't work for whatever reason. Try keeping the camera fully zoomed out when using that spell.

[raela]

My graphics lag when I'm zoomed in.. I do keep it fully zoomed out. If it were just the animation missing, that'd be fine.. but camera zoom doesn't affect the buff icons. :/ Glad to hear I'm not the only one who noticed, though!

i have the same issue with deluge. the fish, or rather mermaid, appears but do nothing. sometimes it does but takes full 5 or so seconds to take effect.
that kills a party you know.

hope this can be acknowledged by the mods.

[Aquari]

Same issue as everyone else here! It gets casted and sometimes just floats there doing nothing before disappearing, or floats and uses its skill effect for a second before disappearing, or just works normally. It's quite vexing to know the skill isn't currently that reliable :|

The bug happens when Land of Recovery is still working. If you try to cast them away from each other, they work, but if they share a common area, bugs :S

[Kilesa]

It can stack with LoR, but not if you cast them while standing in the exact same place.

Casting LoR and then casting Deluge without moving will cause Deluge to glitch and have no effect until LoR expires. One work around for this problem is, just prior to casting Deluge, to move a small bit. They should be able to stack as long as you're not standing still between the two casts.

[raela]

Oh, awesome! Thanks for the tip - I'll try to remember to do that until this is fixed.

[raela]

Sorry for the self-bump.. I wanted to add a video as per Zanbee's request.I included the work-around of moving in between casts.

[AndraxB]

Just bumping as well, bug still around

[RaiteiShourai]

BUMP~

 

This is a critical bug that greatly effect gameplay especially in Raid dungeons where you keep casting LoR.

[ItsFierce]

It really only affects gameplay if your sorcs are unaware of it and don't move in-between casts of LoR and deluge to compensate. I'd prefer that the devs focus on bigger and more important bugs than a little thing like this.

[SephySama]

yes this bug has killed our raid partys =/

[7675130511200256733]

Confirming this bug has killed my raid parties since CoA first launched. 

[NuwaChan]

I have experienced the same issue.

 

[raela]

Well, no doubt not everyone realizes there is an issue. Until fixed, best you can do is inform all sorcs of it during raid parties. Sucks when you forget, though.

[SephySama]

guildies have said if you cast Deluge then LoR it works

[Kyrioskadi]

Yep, tested variations of this.

 

Confirmed to work:

Deluge -> LoR (w/o moving)

LoR -> move -> Deluge 

 

[Anelai]

Deluge already has really long casting time but this bug is tragic. I already wiped half of my raid few times because of this lagging. But in the other hand - second sorcerer in group didnt have such issues ;/ Wondering when they gonna fix this!

[raela]

Yep, tested variations of this.

Deluge -> LoR (w/o moving)
LoR -> move -> Deluge

I'd just like to point out that I showed exactly this in the video. D:

(also, bump!)

[Anelai]

Yep, tested variations of this.

 

Confirmed to work:

Deluge -> LoR (w/o moving)

LoR -> move -> Deluge 

 

Deluge ->LoR works now ONLY if LOR isnt on cooldown after casting deluge (even if cooldown is only 1 second).

 

I wonder when they finally fix this, now deluge is working even worse than before last patch ;/
