Bug in casting items

[baebarri]

Just an FYI ... loot-generated casting items that have war spells on them are now bugged. If you try to use the built-in spell (for example, flame bolt 6 on my casting staff), you'll lock up in casting position and won't be able to cast any spells, use recall gems, or get out of casting mode until you log out and log back in.

It's apparently the same type of bug that the Glendon Wood recall orb had, only now it applies to loot-generated orbs, staffs, scepters, etc.

There's a thread on the AC forums about it here: forums.ac.turbinegames.com/showthread.php?t=27766

Frelorn has just announced a hotfix for this issue.

Hotfix on Wednesday January 26, 2006

All worlds will be down on January 26, 2006 from 9am EST - 3pm EST in order to apply a hotfix for a bug which causes players to get stuck in a state of action after using some spells built into casting devices.

Yeah, I know, Wednesday is the 25th. We'll have to see which is correct, the day or the date.

You dont really expect them to tell us do you? If they did, they'd have to kill us!
