You may have heard from another player, or experienced for yourself, that a health-poison bug was introduced into V666 which impacts the ranger's shape-changing ability.
The problem originates from several of the support scripts which manage temporary changes applied to a player's stats. For example, when a ranger morphs into a vermine, all of the ranger's stats – atkus, detha, regia – temporarily change for the duration of that morph. These support scripts oversee and manage those changes.
Up until now there had been handshaking between the numerous scripts – or perhaps a better description would be to say that there had been "silent nods of acknowledgment" – on how to manage changes to a player's histia stat. This arrangement worked well enough for morphing rangers but less so for stonegirdling champions: champions using the stonegirdle continued to experience situations which would invoke health-poisoning. We tried to correct this problem within the support scripts for V666. It appears that the problem has instead been transfered from champions to rangers – so champions: you're welcome!
We're aware of the issue, and we are working on a swift solution. On the bright side, this bug is certainly keeping in the spirit of V666: it is, without question, hellish.

Hellish ? That's for sure :) I really laugh when I was 1 hit by a rat to severe… For a few minutes. then, hummm, it's not as fun :)
ReplyDeleteAny idea if a hot fix will be possible or if we just have to eat it till next storm ? (I can hunt without my morphs, but some rangers hunt only morphed, they are mostly screw at the moment…)
@Germlins: Any idea if a hot fix will be possible
ReplyDeleteI gave a rather "high level" description of the problem. There are ugly details which I have omitted, but those details are complicating the situation. I think that the goal is to find a cure for the problem rather than to just put a field dressing on the boo-boo.
It's a high-priority problem and we're on it.
try giveing champions another fix?
