Auto-Renewing Skills Not Reliably Renewing

Post by Repinuj »

So noticed this first on my Redeemed with Mask of the Impassive a long time ago. Sometimes, it'll time out after a minute or two. Sometimes it'll keep going until I deactivate it. Sometimes I'll forget while he regenerates for several minutes, and it'll run down until Unnum's just about to drop below 20 MO.

I think once he got killed after activating it, and it ran down his MO while he was dead. Not entirely sure about that one.

I was waiting to try and figure out some common cause before making a report, but never did. It's not getting debuffed, because it happens when he's just hunting imps too. Or even just moving.

Thought it was just that skill, but recently I noticed this on my Revenant too, with Shadow of the Bat. Since he tends to keep it up for a long duration while resting, I got a usable log excerpt:
- You call upon your bat animus and soon you feel bat-like wings sprout from your back and you feel your hearing sharpen as you transform into a half-human, half-bat figure! (2025-03-21 14:46:29).
- You lose 3 Magic Points to pay for your Shadow of the Bat. (2025-03-21 15:02:02).
- Beth Dutton has earned the Thaumaturgist badge! (2025-03-21 15:16:28).
- You lose 3 Magic Points to pay for your Shadow of the Bat. (2025-03-21 15:17:02).
- You feel invigorated. You regain an extra Action Point. (2025-03-21 15:30:06).
- You lose 3 Magic Points to pay for your Shadow of the Bat. (2025-03-21 15:32:01).
- Takeda has earned the All-Compassionate badge! (2025-03-21 15:36:03).
- You feel invigorated. You regain an extra Action Point. (2025-03-21 16:30:06).
- You feel the effects of Drunk fade. (2025-03-21 16:45:09).
- You feel invigorated. You regain an extra Action Point. (2025-03-21 17:30:07).
- You call upon your bat animus and soon you feel bat-like wings sprout from your back and you feel your hearing sharpen as you transform into a half-human, half-bat figure! (2025-03-21 17:51:14).
Note, first activation was at full MP, so it didn't run out of juice. Reactivated it a second time after noticing he was basically full, when the first activation should've ran his MP down.

This is a known issue, and the explanation there is as good as we've got. No dev has ever successfully, reliably reproduced this issue (over many, many attempts). If you find a consistent set of circumstances that always trips this issue, please let us know.

Definitely seems like the bug is unrelated to the actions of the character with the status as I now have a week or so of defaulting to leaving shadow of the wolf to tick down an overfull mp bar, variably with or without clearing blood frenzy stacks though that doesn't appear to have made a notable difference in either direction. Not sure whether there was anything happening in particular on the server in general at the failure times that didn't happen at the success times. I've extracted all of my logs around the events if those seem more useful but I'm currently guessing that the summarised time windows might give a better clue for narrowing it down.
