Feign Death - Bug or Stealth Nerf? (video)

So, today I discovered a rather... well, for lack of better word, discouraging, bug. I say bug in the sense that I hope for the sake of necros everywhere that this is indeed a bug.

At ~50 hit points after a botched charm attempt in Freeport, I feigned death, and went to make some food. I came back at ~75% hit points, stood up... and imediately dropped back down to 54 hit points. Scared (as you can imagine!) I feigned again imediately, and examined the chat. No evidence of damage, no aggro, nothing had hit me.

Thinking this was odd, I waited till I had a few hundred hit points, and stood up again - only to once again drop to 54.

A few more times, same story - always dropping back to the health I had before I feigned.

Evidence / example: Video - 2.49MB - .WMV format If this skips a lot when you play it, play it a second time, and it'll play smoothly. Watch my health shortly after I stand up.

So my question is this: Wiz, did you do this on purpose, so that we can no longer regen health while feigned (because it'll reset to the health we had before we feigned when we stand)? If so... this is a dirty dirty thing you have done. If not... this is an attrocious bug.
 
I noticed some hit point strangeness last night as well, totally unrelated to feign death (on my warrior an cleric). After casting Aegolism on the warrior, from his perspective his hit points dropped to around 75 percent and stayed there. Looking from the cleric's point of view, he was at full health. He tried to bind wound himself, but it said he was already maxed (with the display still showing 75%). The view eventually (not soon) corrected itself, but I didn't notice at what point (after a heal, taking damage, etc). This happened multiple times last night. I'm guessing there's a but with hit point display somewhere.
 
I had a similar problem like Joudas quotes.
I went FD in Freeport with about 2% of HP, then I went afk.
After about 10-15 Mins (posted it at another place already) I got up with 40-50% health. Unfortunately I didn't look at my health and what happened but I still was on the Hate List of an undead citizen who killed me with one hit.
And from what I know a citizen wouldn't be able to kill me instantly on about 350-450HP.
I guess either that FD was nerfed or there is a serious FD bug.
 
I had the same effect with hp buffs on my rogue Rehven last night. Someone cast a shaman hp buff on me, my hp said I was at 75%, and I couldnt bind wound because it said I was at full hp. I asked, and other people in the group said I was a full hp. I wrote it off as a view bug, and after one fight it was all okay. Someone else in my group had that same bug later last night.
 
Very useful post there mr tekaskeeperoftheages. How about returning to what ever hole you crawled out of?

As for this bug, I have not played in about a week, and it was NOT there then. I don't want to overdo it, but removing health regen while feigned is just dumb.
 
sorry about the offtopic but... where did you get that wow-esque UI?
Click to expand...

You're about the 10th person who's asked that, actually ;) It was originally posted on this forum, but I can't find the original post, so till it surfaces, you can grab it from http://www.joudas.com/files/sod/WoWUI.rar - it's built for 1280x1024 resolution, but ought to work fine with 1024x768 as well... any smaller and the main bar wouldn't fit.

Don't know who originally SoD-ified it, or I'd give them credit here... sorry :(
 
Also had this issue last night with new buffs not showing proper hp initally on the buffed character.
