Since the recent adjustments to Blue Mage and Chain Affinity, there are crashes. I have not gotten around to testing the full extent of it, but I've done countless isolated Chain Affinity > Spells and solo skillchains CA WS > Spells with no issues. In group content, though, I can't be certain if it's only when a ws that can close a skillchain off the CA spell, or if it's checking any ws to see if it can sc with the spell(particularly because you can't see the final process that crashed the zone when it happens), but it's around there. So there's something going on, I'm assuming inside the window a Weapon Skill can Skill Chain off of a Chain Affinity > Spell that is crashing the zone. I know I'm a huge crybaby about BLU, but there really is almost always some crisis level issue going on with it!

This still happens, it's absurd. It's been brought to the proper authority to fix, we don't get a response at all. Is this just a new feature of nasomi and BLU can just go around and crash whatever zone they want? It's literally so easy to crash a zone right now, please look into whatever is going on with Chain Affinity crashing.

Things take time. Nas has been busy. Crash fixes are always high on his priority list, don't worry.

D; I am worried, I have so much testing to do in higher level environments and right now it's just not possible without ruining the event lol. I know he's busy, I'm just trying to keep it fresh, especially since I haven't heard anything about it

Just to add to this:


6man at onzozo:

Guillotine > CA Death Scissors = did not crash
Guillotine > CA Death Scissors > tachi: yukikaze = did not crash
tachi: yukikaze > penta thrust, then a SATACA Death Scissor > tachi: yukikaze = did not crash
CA Death Scissors, then a penta thrust = crash

6man at KRT:
fast blade > red lotus blade(from blu) > CA jet stream = did not crash
viper bite > red lotus blade(from blu) > CA jet stream = did not crash

I am guessing that the crash has to do with a non-chaining weapon skill being used after a CA spell.

It's opening the Skillchain with CA spells. Disseverment > Mercystroke was crashed, Vert Cleave > Gekko crashed, CA spell > CA spell crashed. I agree in thinking that nonchaining ws inside the window of sc after a CA spell does. I have heard that being interrupted on casting a CA spell and then casting again crashes. It sounds like piggybacking is fine, though.

I'm pretty sure "they" were trying to fix a bug, where opening skillchains with CA spell caused the skillchain to do more damage than they should have been.

At this point, I don't even care if Chain Affinity let's a spell skillchain anymore. I rather just have chain affinity give the TP mod to my spells, so I can at least continue to do some damage in exp parties.

Any post-patch, post-weaponskill hotfix news about this?

CA > WS = still crash?
