13.2: Spell Targeting Failure Remains

[Ashbinder]

Tested the issue of spells firing but not landing on hard targeted enemies when spinning the camera.

Results: Animation will play, spell will fire and trigger cooldown, however cost will not be charged and no damage will be dealt.

Method: Tested vs. stationary target (portal) using 20 FvS standing still but rotating

This is identical to live, physics upgrade has had no effect on this issue.

Doh!

Nothing is currently getting me pulling punches at my screen as much as this one!

What about moving mobs (especially casters/archers) not being affected by AOE despite clearly being
within the AOE?

Question seconded!

Oh and +1 OP for that video. Pretty clear things aren't WAI.

this needs a bump, considering how annoying of problem this is and still no devs comments about it (that i have been able to find at least ;p)

Dev responses were made in the original bug discussion thread:

I totally know what this is.
There is a lag between playerfacing on the client and server. It's always there, but now it looks like it is more than a single frame.

Bet this is a leftover of fixing the hand to hand combat.

A fix for this will not make it in U13, but it is under investigation.

Short version: known issue by Maj, hopefully fixed after U13. My testing was just to confirm issue still exists with new physics upgrade. Hopefully devs will see fit to correct this one with U14. I'll be waiting to test once this is available.
