Awesomest Bug EVAR! You Turbine Programmers ROCK!

[Entelech]

Okay...I was running Coalescence Chamber on Thelanis at about 11:45 am CST on Sunday 10/17/10.

Lag, as per usual on Thelanis, was horrid.

I killed Khemko Sadinand and finished the quest, then noticed I was still taking hits from the dead guy's Acid Fog.

So I recalled out of the dungeon. And I was STILL taking damage from Acid Fog.

Sure enough, I die. And my ghost still has Acid Fog.

So, of course, I release. Die instantly at the bind point. Still have Acid Fog.

So, send in a report?

[AyumiAmakusa]

Seen it before. Not a new bug but send in a report.

[Entelech]

Rather than wait for a DM, I logged out for a while and posted this.

I just logged back in and the Acid Fog was finally gone. I'll bug report it now.

[Rasczak]

lol wouldn't it be easier to cast acid res on yourself when you rc'd?

I liked when earth elementals used to be able to earth grab you after you had left the quest.

Or suddenly petrified by a beholder eye beam while standing in a tavern.

I may have misunderstood or mis read but surely if he acid res's himself BEFORE he recalls it'll vanish and kill him and if the fog killed him as soon as he left he wouldn't have had chance to cast it then either.

What did I read wrong?

PS Bug report ftw...... sometimes.

To OP What on earth is your UI doing? What're all those markings on your focus orb and hps?

[Buggss]

I remember a VON 3 where we somehow aggroed a beholder before opening the metal door that requires the iron key. We were all lvl 10 back then so got munched pretty fast before we knew what was happening.

GM had a fun time trying to resolve that one... :D

I said after ;) and he had some hp in the screenie so enough time to cast.

It's definitely a bug but I meant cast it to avoid the deaths ;)

or the Vulkor scorpion curse that would spawn the scorpions in another quest when you failed your save! :D

I could be finicky and say you said "when he recalled" but I suppose that can go either way. ;)

Stil we gotta admit it's a little daft that negative effects stay but positive ones disappear...

[Kinerd]

Logging out (for any period of time) and in resolves the issue. I've seen it happen on a character with cloudkill (technically three cloudkills). I was worried I had become patient zero for a tavern-based epidemic of noxious green clouds, but of course it turns out no, just a bug.

[Woody00]

When I rolled my bard he seemed to have stuff like this happen all the time when I was below lvl 10.

Spent 4 hours cursed with curse pots and spell not getting rid of it.

Spent 4 quests with the hold animation around me.

Was endowed with the blur animation and camo'd animation stuck around me with no beni's from either.

[Superspeed_Hi5]

Happens in Epic DQ all the time with shroud of flame.

[TheDearLeader]

Funny stuff.

Yup, hoped you sent in a bug report.

Yup, logging out then back in, even momentarily, will fix such an issue. And as of U7, doing so will not cause you to lose HP/SP in the process, or buffs if you're still inside of a dungeon.

[Therigar]

While it certainly is a bug I'm amazed that OP didn't have a potion or spell available. He obviously just stood about for some time allowing himself to die. And there is a potion vendor right there so even if he didn't have the spell....

Really, it is a bug. But it is sort of like staring at a bus that is about to run you down and refusing to move just because you are in the crosswalk. Just not worth being dead right about....

[Missing_Minds]

Or suddenly petrified by a beholder eye beam while standing in a tavern.

Swimming in lava. :)

Granted, per the Op's Title, I think the best bug ever was infinite violet slimes.

[petegunn]

Gold medal winner 2010 the first person ever to be killed by acid fog.

Guinness book of records 2011 the only person (so far) to have been killed by acid fog twice. :D

He may lose it when he recalls but he also gains back full hp and mana.

The spell can be seen on his hotbar, and he has a full mana bar :)

[Maxelcat]

What UI are you running?

Looks great!

[Missing_Minds]

Depends on how fast the acid fog acts (aka res right when the fog ticks? dead.) I've seen character accept a True Res (so full HP) get killed after accepting because something hit them in a run by at the right time. In this case it was a physical attack of an air elemental. Saw this just last night. Poor wife.... (I was too busy laughing at what happened.)

[MagicianBlade]

how do you make the borders of your hotbars invisible? Even at 1680x1050, there's nto enough screen realestate in this game.

[Correlan]

Casting the said Res doesn't work, i've had this bug in Epic Oob. Relogging fixes the bug.

You use a UI skin with transparent borders.
