Heh stop all the QQ about other problems, be happy they did these, if you have a problem post it where those should be and stfu eesh. As for the size of the update, I would assume that actually adding them to the store would take some size as it will require probably new splash images as you enter, the box, a new display page for "expansions" as well as pricing et al. There could be other things as well, but a change to an ecommerce site where most of the visuals are hosted on our end, actually can add quite a few files.

While they're at it, they should fix the clipping issue Assassin Obsidian masks have with hair.

What, you expect the coding for the BMP option(Logo, button to get the access key, description, the access key itself, etc) in the online store to be conjured up from thin air?

Glad they fixed the FoW armor for necros, that bug was one of the only things stopping me from getting Chaos Gloves... ... ... ... but not even sure I'll get 'em anyways x]. Hopefully that gets them fix more glitches like that.

Bug Fixes

Skills

* Fixed a bug that caused the Elementalist skill 'Unsteady Ground' to fail if its target died before the casting time completed.

There are tons of spells fail to cast if its target died before the casting time completed.
Why did they just fix 'Unsteady Ground'? I hope they can fix all AE spells which has this problem.

Most Faction/NF AE spells have the same issue.

I suspect you fail to understand the difference in the skill descriptions. Do you know of any skills that specifically have 'target foes location' listed as the target which will fail if your target dies?

Haha. Looks like many people have been so accustomed to nerfs after updates, that they're in a state of denial when glitches are fixed.

Exactly. Unsteady ground functioned as a target enemy skill even though it said in the description that it targets a location.

So much fail in this thread.

Anyway, this isn't a "wierd" update. Its a typical update. People are just so used to 30+ skills being changed or hoping for the next SF, HM, Xunai Market, etc update that they get too freaking disappointed when something more minor is done.

No theres not actually, Im sure UG was the only one.

Read the spell description. If it says 'Create ..... at target foes Loacation' then it is still meant to cast even if the target foe dies.

If its just an AoE spell that hits a target foe, but not the location, then its meant to fail if your target dies.

If there are anymore, send in a report and wait 2 years for the fix.

Hopefully they'll get time to fix more of those armor glitches. Besides the necro having a hole at the elbow, didn't male warriors have that same problem?
