[REJECTED] [Mage] problem minor

[Pinocchio Evreiesc]

WoW Freakz spell link: Some sort of custom script from what i can see

Bug description: Everytime i teleport to a place or change spec from something else back to arcane or un-equip and re-equip aluneth something strange happens (see video), you can hear it and also see it clearly on the weapon animation. This happens only to arcane, on fire or frost this doesnt happen nor any other class.

What custom thing? The sound you hear? Does it limit you in any way?

[Pinocchio Evreiesc]

I want to know exactly what it is and why its only for arcane mages. Its not just a sound it clearly does something since weapon animation skips as if re-equiped a second time

[Quicksand]

We are resetting your whole character and making sure we correctly limit your Arcane Missiles procs to 1 per 100 casts

[Pinocchio Evreiesc]

You realise that you avoiding to answer the question isnt helping right? This thing started happening about 3 weeks ago. Im just curious what it is and why its only for arcane mages.

[Quicksand]

I realize yes, but I'm also suggesting that it does not happen only to arcane mages. As far as I know there wasn't even an arcane mage fix in the past 3 weeks, we didn't touch anything related to artifacts. And for me it does not happen at all. I tried it just now on live servers.

[Pinocchio Evreiesc]

I can make a video on fire/frost showing it doesnt happen, want me to? Or on my priest. Also, you say things like *it doesnt happen only to arcane mages* and then you say *it doesnt happen to me at all*. Contradictory and confusing.

[Quicksand]

I believe you there's no need. But I need to know if it limits you in any way, otherwise I'm not going to investigate. We don't do custom stuff, at least not in things like this, so don't even think about starting conspiracy theories. I can think of several things that we actually do after equipping artifacts, as there were hundreds of exploits with them, so we have tons of checks, but none of those can affect your gameplay in any way, we don't "set" things, we only check if everything is all-right. But even so, I have no clue why would the weapon's animation reset, as we're not really doing that could cause anything like that.

What I meant by those is: if it's happening, it will happen to ALL classes/specs, not only arcane, because we don't do any spec related checks, all our checks/scripts after equipping artifacts are general (not even related to classes, let alone individual specs). So if there's really something, it should happen to all, but probably those weapon's animation does not reset for some reason. And mine doesn't at all, not even on arcane (tried multiple appearances, with and without traits, with and without relics)

[Pinocchio Evreiesc]

I understand your point of view but you must realize how strange and downright suspicious it looks when it only happens to one particular class on one particular spec, seeing as how you bring up the subject of equip exploits i would expect this to happen on every class/every spec, then it wouldnt be suspicious at all, it would be just an anti exploit measure which is fine. How does it affect me? i feel like this is a trick question, borderline baiting for something so all i can say (reluctantly) is i dont know, main reason why i created the topic.

[Quicksand]

If I show you a video that it does not happen to me, would that help? I can make that character in front of your eyes if you want me to, I tried now creating a new character, it still doesn't happen to me. And I get your point, but you're straight offensively assuming that we do some custom thing just to mess with arcane mages. I get that you might not like us, but that's just incredible. What's in it for us? And I'm not asking trick questions, I really need to know if it limits you in any way, or you see any other weird behavior that could actually affect your gameplay. Because otherwise it's not worth it for me to spend god knows how many hours to even reproduce the issue, let alone fix it. If it's just a glitch, it's really not worth it

Update @ 29-11-2017, 00:50:01

Tomorrow if Shocker will be available I'll make a copy of your character and import it to my local server to see if it happens to me, because if it does, there must be something specific that triggers it, I can start from there. But I have no clue what could cause anything like this. I just checked our functions we use after equipping artifacts, there's nothing that could result in such behavior.

Update @ 29-11-2017, 00:56:19

Ask around, let's see if it happens for other arcane mages as well. Might be some corruption in your client, or some addon. Now that I think of it, I don't think I could even do such a thing even if I wanted to. To reset the weapon's animation...

[Pinocchio Evreiesc]

First of all i have not assumed anything yet, this topic was made as an inquiry basically since i didnt even know who to pm about this or where to post. Im sorry for the original post, in retrospect it does sound somewhat offensive but im genuinely curious what this is. I dont dislike you or the server otherwise i wouldnt have donated 2 days prior to black friday or i wouldnt be testing stuff and i wouldnt be reporting class bugs to the best of my ability in an attempt to make gameplay as blizzlike as possible for nothing in return.

Sidenote: Speaking of which, in the last major batch of mage fixes(when you did frost arcane and fire etc) you broke arcane explosion, it can proc missiles without hitting any target.

[Quicksand]

Ah that might be true. I implemented a "Proc on Cast" around then that allows something completely new (it actually does what it says, it procs when you cast, not on hit, which seems to be like the 80% of the cases in legion), because Missiles should be procced on cast not on hit. But I forgot about the extra condition for arcane explosion to actually hit smthing.

Anyway, I assure you it's not something specific to arcane and I have no clue what's causing it. If I can reproduce it tomorrow using your character, I'll investigate, but otherwise I probably won't spend much time on it. We don't do anything invasive, we don't set any values, we just go over lots of things and check if they are correct, I really don't see what could cause that-

Update @ 29-11-2017, 01:01:59

If possible make a report about it explosion, I'll forget it otherwise.

[Pinocchio Evreiesc]

Ok please leave this open, ill ask some other mages these days. Its definitely not addon caused, otherwise it would happen on all three specs. I'll edit first post to make it less offensive.

This is a perfect copy of your character.. It does not happen to me whatever I do. I'm sorry but I will delay investigating this, as I'm sure it's nothing that could affect your gameplay. I will reveisit the issue when i won't have as much to do.

[Pinocchio Evreiesc]

Re-downloaded client, using same settings same addons. Its not happening anymore so i haven't got the slightest clue as to what this shit was or what was causing it...you can close this now.
