Magic Shell and Aegis Spirit bug

Hi,

I wanted to talk about a bug that I have (perhaps other clerics has it too) with Aegis Spirit and Magic Shell. It comes when I want to rebuff all the party (or only myself) before the end of all buffs.
For exemple, if all my 4 buffs has 5 minutes remaining and I rebuff, all the buff will have 30 minutes (or one hour) remaining, but not Magic Shell or Aegis Spirit : They will end 5 minutes after and I will have to rebuff again.. It's really anoying when you rebuff before a boss who does magical attacks and stop before his death.....
I don't know if I'm the only one who has this bug, I test it with my two cleric and has the same problem, so if someone can do something for fixing it and if some clerics can tell here if they have the same bug, I will really be happy :) .

    This bug has been 'being worked on' for 9 months or more. Might as well get used to it . . .

    As far as I know, it's been there as long as the game was open.

    Today I had the reverse problem. I squad buffed, then accidentally buffed myself. So all my buffs wore off after half an hour, except for the magical defense buff, which lasted another half hour. b:chuckle

    I kinda thought it was, but I've only been playing since April so I didn't want to assume b:cute

    And yeah I've done the same thing to myself by accident.

    I can't understand why it's a so difficult bug to fix.. Actually we have the others buffs who works well, so why this one doesn't.. And why didn't they do anything -_-" ?

    doubtful since all GMs are glorified CSRs and Game and Fourm Hosts and have nothing to do with the interworkings of the game other then tweeking the effects of the game as in 2x,3x exp or creatation of Items in the name of events and so on..the programming as far as i know it come from China, who is prolly having about 20 million other bugs from the 3 or 4 games they produced or in production...sorry to get tossed away from your question as it where, GMs dont answer unless they know the answer, and china isnt telling them anything i bet...

    Ok. But see, if you're right, they lie when they say "we work on it" if only China can correct the bug. So they have to answer, do they are or do they are NOT working on it.
    It's simple : When you say you are doing something, DO IT !

    Glad I searched this, I was about to post about it....
    They fixed Hair that wasn't really broken, finally sorted out some mob meshes but haven't fixed one that's detrimental to gameplay.... and why haven't they fixed pet meshes yet? oO; But by far, right now this magic shell buff glitch is really irritating. x_X

    I have a thread with a list of all the bugs in the expansion...there are serious ones, like the black flashing screen in TB area, to simple ones, like female clerics in your party showing up with the male cleric icon when you look at the map. There are a lot though b:surrender

    Not corrected again.. GM knows this bug but don't correct it..
    Please, correct this bug.. It's a gameplay problem not only a color problem or something like that..

    Agreed that this is really annoying, especially in TT or FCC where you are likely to rebuff your squad a few times to make sure the protections don't wear off in the middle of a fight... well except for protection vs magic attack since the Devs in China clearly have made this a low priority to fix (been noted in this one thread alone for over 4 months and in other thread before this one).

    While having this spell expire on an entire party in the middle of a fight is certainly detrimental to gameplay, the GMs and Mods (specifically Arayanna) have said it's been reproted so the Developers in China have it on their bug list, which is likely prioritized by how much it will reduce profit margins (obviously a bug that damages the end-users computer hardware is going to the top of the list while a vanity fix like a clipping issue on an unpopular fashion item is probably going to languish forever).

    Subsequently, performing thread necromancy to repeatedly ask for it to be fixed doesn't help the situation get resolved, although it does hopefully make "new" clerics aware that this is how it works and they need to be prepared to rebuff this one protection in the middle of a fight.

    Save your breath, unless you want to tell the new clerics arriving to the game about the bug and how to deal with it. Your GMs and Mods care about your game experience, in my opinion, but they are pretty limited in what they can do to change the game itself--that's the purview of the Devs in China.

    Have no fear, the devs/gms/etc are "working on it".
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    It's been 5 month that they told me they are "working on it" I'm pretty sure that they can fix this bug in less than 1 week. But it seems that item mall is more important than the game itself.

    Of course its more important, this is a bussiness for them.

    Hopefully they will fix it...

    2 month later it's still not corrected. So.. it's been more than half a year that they are working on it.
    What can we think about that ?

    I guess that we can think they are adding more shinny fashion, shinny tideborn skills, shinny shine and other shinny stuff... Clerics can wait...
