Stone wall & Energy field duration

Post by Blackhaggie »

It's been a while but I feel like I remember energy field lasting longer during t2a than what it currently does. That being said I thought stone wall didn't last long enough back in the day. Here it seems to stay up almost as long as energy field? Anybody else remember these durations? If so, post here and I'll try and get some info on it. I want to make sure I'm not just remembering incorrectly.

Wall of stone appears to be a fixed duration of 10 seconds on old OSI, where Energy,Para,Poison Fields used the following formula:

Code: Select all

 Seconds = 15 + ((caster_magery * 2) / SpellCircle)
Currently on Second Age:
Wall of stone on UOSA is 10 secs.
Fire Field: Seconds = 4 + (caster_magery / 20) [4-9 seconds]
Poison Field: Seconds = 3 + (caster_magery / 25) [3-7 seconds]
Para Field: Seconds = 3 + (caster_magery / 30) [3-6.33 seconds]
Energy Field: Seconds = 2 + (caster_magery * 0.028) [2-30 seconds]

Should be:
Firefield: 15-65 secs
Poisonfield: 15-55 secs
Parafield: 15-48 secs
EnergyField: 15-43 secs

This will be fixed. Thanks much!

This change is active on test center; i didn't include it in this morning's mini-patch because although minor, it'd had literally no testing.

If someone can verify the durations on test and post that each field spell is working properly I'll drop in in the next available patch.

Thanks :)

I did a bit of testing on this on the testcenter and the times seem to be a bit off on these still. As long as my math was correct.

100 magery

firefield = 53 seconds
energyfield = 30 seconds
stonewall = 10 seconds
poisonfield = 30 seconds
parafield = 35 seconds

times subject to a second or 2 off.
