Knight's Challenge still broken.

Skill : Knight's Challenge

Origin Patch : NW.14.20140224a.7

Bug : Knight's Challenge's casting animation can now be interrupted.

Cause : Any combat action during the animation (before the red line appears) will cancel the cast and put the power on cooldown w/o any affect. On rare occasions this can make the skill completely uncastable until it is removed from the active power slot.

Fix : Make the casting animation uninterruptable as it was previous to patch NW.14.20140224a.7

I have submitted 3 bug reports via the in-game bug report tool, one for each patch that is has been broken in. I am also making this post to hopefully gain more visibility and fix one of my most used skills. thank you.

    My knight's challenge is also bugging out and not letting me cast it on anyone about half way through the fight. Felt like the old bugged version of GWF's Unstoppable where it just stopped working every now and then.

    Without fail Knight Challenge just stops working after using it about 10 times. The only way to fix it is to relog. This completely ruined my group quest... as I was just getting back into the game and wanted to try to get the top damage/kills etc like you see the kill count in DDO. I had to relog to fix knight challenge which my build is based on and the whole group had to wait for me. Believe it or not, I get kicks out of trying to top the damage/kill counter etc and after this happened, I really had no desire to come back and play anymore or buy anything else. Other than that I was getting back into it and starting to figure out what I was doing etc.

    I haven't ran into it being so bad that i had to relog, did you try switching knight's challenge out for another skill then reslotting knight's challenge? that works for me everytime i get locked out of using it and i play my GF (still with a broken Knight's Challenge) more than any other max level character I have.

    just make sure that, if you still want to use it, that you make a conscious effort before you cast it to stop everything you are doing, cast it and then wait until that red line shows up between you and your target. I have yet to have an issue if i just wait for it to work, but that doesnt make it anyless of a pain in the butt.

    Reslotting doesn't work at all for me, I was under the impression that it always happens after a certain amount of time but if your saying I can prevent it from getting lost by being careful to stop till I see the red line I'll try that.

    I noticed this before and thought I was using Griffons Wrath possibly, but now I'm almost 100% sure... what happens is the first few times it doesn't work, I get a message saying "not enough charges". And I'm 100% sure that I'm hitting the correct key/shortcut etc. Because this time the first time it happened I was ready for it and I pressed "Z" again (the button I use for that encounter, i.e. Knight Challenge) and I again got the message "Not Enough Charges". And then after 2 times, it just stops working completely and I have to log out and back in again. Moving it off the bar, changing skills etc doesn't work.

    I have experienced similar troubles with knights challenge. In pve fighting the dragon in MC, it is almost impossible to get off.


    Oh yea? did anyone mention that you can cancel knights challenge yourself by doing ANYTHING?
    swinging an at will
    casting some other encounter
    casting a daily
    moving

    all CANCEL knights challenge without the aid of enemies.

    Great job game!
