| Author | Bug in Initiative Bar |
|---|
I've been watching some old battles of mine and I realized that something went wrong with the initiative bar. So I started checking other players battles and I think this is a bug.
Check this battle:

Just notice how the Sphynx Guardian Icon remains at the beginning of the bar at the second turn. |
i also got the same problem
if
elven's initiative = 10.3
hero's initiative = 10
BEFORE THE UPDATE
If hero got the turn before elven in the first turn elven will got turn before hero in second turn
AFTER THE UPDATE
If hero got the turn before elven in the first turn hero only got the turn before elven in the second turn.
please remove this bug |
I'm not sure this is the same problem I've spotted.
All I'm saying is that you cannot review a battle since the initiative bar is not working properly during the replay. |
yes that happens loads of times to me
it confuses me so much |
Check this battle too:

Pay attention at the point when the sprites are hitting and running. Can you tell who is going to attack next? |
There is nothing wrong with the ATB as far as I can see.
But what indeed is wrong in these battles is the effect of rapid and delay, but I don't know if this will occur every time (I guess not, otherwise it might have been noticed by others long ago).
In your battle you rapid your bowman (no light talent) and should get 20% increase. Bowman had 13.3 ini and should therefore get 13.3*0.2=2.66, so you should have 13.3 + 2.66 = 15.96 ~= 16.
But he gives you only 2.66 percent instead of the 2.66 absolute. (So 13.3*0.0266 = 0,35378 ~= 0.4 --> 13.3 + 0.4 = 13.7
The same happened with your sprites and with delay it was similar in Kotrins battle above.
I don't know if this bug is already fixed, but I watched current battle which do not suffer this effect. But maybe it happens only under special conditions. |
OK, I don't think it is really a bug!
The problem occurs because you watch older fights and the new rules concerning magic (bless, curse, rapid, delay,...) have changed the way the effects where calculated. If you watch the old fights now the new formula mixes some things so that they are not displayed correctly.
That's why the ATB is acting strange (I have seen now what you meant at first in another old fight). But that is only a small annoyance in my eyes than a real bug someone should take care off. |
I guess you're right... That's a good explanation.
It's still a bug from my point of view since it's impossible to review most of the battles and thus some brilliant tactics, some exceptionally lucky moments, etc are lost. After all it was fun to watch other people's battles, especially the high scores. There was a lot to learn in these fights.
It's a pity, but we'll live with it.
It would also be interesting if we had some official reply. |
