An 'Own Up'

WhateverUSMC · 02-10-2011, 10:07 PM

I meant to post this a while ago, so...my bad.

A few weeks back, Syrtis had captured Samal, and had ventured to those tall hills around the bend from the save.

I was on my warlock, hiding behind one of the hills, spam clicking Sultars Terror (I figured it would hit the first one to come in sight, than hit everyone else).

Before any enemy was in sight, the spell casted and landed, knocking down a couple of people. I do not know if it killed anyone. Also, I don't know if this instance changed the outcome of the battle (I had to afk to do something, and when I returned, I was logged off).

I admit to not knowing much about game mechanics, but it seems enemies should probably be in sight for a spell to land legally.

At any rate; what happened was kind of crappy, and I take responsibility for it.

You should also not be able to cast spells on people behind you. I suggest that the spell gets canceled when that happens.

It used to be like that. People abused the crap out of it.
