Request: Please fix Spell Casting Reinforcement

Pre CnD I'd mentioned in IRC that SCR3 wasn't working on players and was told "If that was true raiding guilds would have complained already" and ignored. So I spent over an hour making logs that proved SCR3 only worked on pets and not player characters and submitted it to the buglist. It was Dismissed. I also /bug'd it again over a week ago and haven't seen a change so going to take my logs public to try and finally get this sorted out.

Here's the original one's I submitted pre CnD:
(Perla is the name of my pet)

Code: 
[Wed Jun 15 20:02:27 2005] You begin casting Quickness.
[Wed Jun 15 20:02:30 2005] Perla feels much faster.
[Wed Jun 15 20:41:42 2005] Your Quickness spell affecting Perla has worn off.

[Wed Jun 15 20:02:33 2005] You begin casting Quickness.
[Wed Jun 15 20:02:36 2005] You feel much faster.
[Wed Jun 15 20:33:22 2005] Your Quickness spell affecting Maimai has worn off. 

[Wed Jun 15 20:04:15 2005] You begin casting Group Resist Magic.
[Wed Jun 15 20:04:21 2005] Perla is resistant to magic.
[Wed Jun 15 20:04:21 2005] You feel protected from magic.
[Wed Jun 15 20:41:15 2005] Your Group Resist Magic spell affecting Maimai has worn off. 
[Wed Jun 15 20:51:20 2005] Your Group Resist Magic spell affecting Perla has worn off.

Note that buffs are only extended on the pet, not me.

Here's another log from a few minutes ago:

Code: 
[Fri Oct 07 15:11:05 2005] You begin casting Group Resist Magic.
[Fri Oct 07 15:11:10 2005] Maimai`s pet is resistant to magic.
[Fri Oct 07 15:11:10 2005] You feel protected from magic.
[Fri Oct 07 15:47:14 2005] Your Group Resist Magic spell affecting Maimai has worn off. 
[Fri Oct 07 15:58:38 2005] Your Group Resist Magic spell affecting Maimai`s pet has worn off.

The same effect, it only extends buffs on pets.

I don't know if SCR1 is broken.
I don't know if SCR2 is broken.
I don't know if SCRM is broken.

But I DO know that SCR3 only works on pets and before I buy SCRM I want it to be fixed and SCRM to be checked so other players don't fall into the trap of wasting AA's

Thank you :911:
 
Nevertheless, Group Resist Magic lasted 36 minutes on Maimai which is its original length in the spells_us.txt so it hasn't been extended.
 
Thread necromancy!

Is there not ANYONE else who has this skill who can back me up with some logs please? It's still not working.

I'm theorising that maybe it only extends the duration after you zone like Permanency does, but there's no worn off message if you buff yourself then zone so i'm not about to test that especially as i've already proved it broken.
 
Buglist it again, we'll test it. I don't know why it was dismissed or how I missed this thread, but I'm sorry about that.
 
Sorry to ressurect this old thread but i've noticed that buffs when cast with an extended duration item seem to not Extend their duration.

For an example, my druid wears Coralsha's Family Crown (ext duration 4) and casts Ancient: Sihala's Gift on the group,

The group would consist of my druid, my beastlord, and our pets. Now the regen spell will wear off my druid, then my beastlord, and remain on the pets for much longer than on the player characters. So if this hasnt been looked into yet, i would venture a guess and say its not just SCM that is broken. I'll fish out some logs later because im at work atm and unable to do so now.


You know what, I just happen to read SCM in the list of approved bugs so disregard this, unless extended duration focus is outta wack too. Not sure if SCM and Focus are linked at all. might be worth a look anyway. I'll buglist this when i get home.
 
This is as good a place to ask as any: do SCR, SCRM, and duration inc items effect super-short duration spells? I ask for certain gifty, giantkinny reasons.

Reinforcement does not affect a 5 tick spell.

As far as other extenders I'm not sure, but I'd wager a guess that they won't help either
