Problem - Chaincast Valiant Symbiosis Rk. II

[Robban]

RGMercs Build?

1.0

What level is the character?

125

over and over

The condition to run that is this:

{
name = "PetManaConv",
type = "Spell",
cond = function(self, spell)
return spell and spell() and not RGMercUtils.BuffActive(mq.TLO.Spell(spell.AutoCast() or "")) and mq.TLO.Me.Pet.ID() > 0
end,
},

which means you have a pet and you don't have the autocast of that buff active. is that the right thing to be checking?

This is happening to me still, also.

The buff is Valiant Symbiosis Recourse. I don't know how the BuffActive() function is meant to work, but it doesn't seem to be working for this particular one.
I don't know if there's some weird issue where I have Rk II spells, but because it's no longer subbed, it loads Rk II, then casts Rk I and gets the recourse for Rk I, or if there's some other cause here.

Yes, the latter part is very much relevant.

So your posts have what seems to be conflicting information to me.


Please verify the spell rank you have scribed, your account status (gold, silver, etc0, whether you have the rk2 unlocker if relevant, and the exact name of the recourse you see in your window.

 

[Derple]

added recourse to the check list see if that fixes it in the next build.

I have Rank 2 scribed. The gem says Rank 2. Because the account is no longer subbed, it downranks to Rank 1 when cast, and i get Rank 1 recourse.

 

[Algar]

Yeah, that would be why. Think we can drop the rank check and be okay.

PR for a fix should be going out now. Its a bandaid and handling of this issue (Rk. II spells and f2p) is ongoing. Thanks for letting us know!

This is great news! Because of course, once I got this particular chain-casting loop resolved, it moved on to a different chain-casting loop involving Rk II spells. I think there's quite a few of them in the Mage Rk II lineup that are self-buffs, recourse, or pet buffs.

Specifics will always help, I am adjusting as I see them or as they are reported.

Fact of the matter is this is due to an issue outside of our co[BGCOLOR=initial]ntrol, really. Every indication we have (that I know of) is that you have a rank 2 spell until you actually tell the server you cast it. Most of the bandaids hypothetically open us up to other issues as well, although the they are edge cases.[/BGCOLOR]

[BGCOLOR=initial]I highly suggest taking a look at the rank 2 unlocker anyways to anyone who has left over DB coin, but hopefully we can get it all to a playable state to where that isn't absolutely required. [/BGCOLOR]

Ahh! Lightbulb moment! Every time someone mentioned the Rank 2 unlocker, I kept thinking it was a setting in RGMercs, or a bit of code or a plugin somewhere.

OF COURSE I should get the Rk2 unlocker from the db store. Thank you!

Until i do that, is it useful for me to post which of the spells I've got that are creating loops? I figured if you're working on a general solution then reporting more specific instances means more specific work that will then be made redundant, so I didn't do that.

Right now, we have no avenue for an absolute general fix, short of stripping rank from a lot of buffing checks (and adding some code that will check by rank and not, which is happening), sorry if I implied otherwise.
A list most definitely helps if the information is readily obtainable, but I am actively keeping an eye out for it as I muddle with class configs.
