Hi,

I haven't played my ppu for one month, i just returned to the game (with patch 157), and i think i noticed that i have more casts failures than before.
example to reproduce: at start no spell is selected. I select spell 1 (heal), and click the mouse button shortly after. 90% of the time it fails. Why ?
It happened before, but not systematically ... or maybe i haven't noticed it so much before ^^

It's a bug i hate. I get it on my spy alot, i switch to another spell, try to cast it but i just wave the arm around and have to wait a few seconds before i can actually cast the spell.

The only way to get around this is to wait some time after switching before you start casting the spell, about half a second is enough already.

Still a pain in the ass if you're in a fight trying to heal to fast. :(

It got worse longer ago than Patch 157. A few months ago I guess it got incredibly frustrating for me to PPU with the near-constant wavey handsness. STupid, stupid bug, especially as you have to wait until the raving has finished (typicallly longer than a sucessful cast would be) before trying again.

If the netcode is having a bad day, I get problems with mis-casts, waving hands etc.

One thing I've noticed a lot is, if I go from an outdoors area to a indoors area, I get a lot more mis-casts. It seems I have to change spells and cast a little slower.

Right, this cast issue depends on where you are ... i noticed that too.

I don't really agree with that; I (and everyone else I know) get miscasts no matter where I (and they) are. With this problem as bad as it is, playing any combat character is like a big gamble on whether you're going to live or die. At least the clipwhoring is so bad at times that you or them can't even be targetted, which helps that bad situation go a bit smoother.

Are you trying to say that what we've noticed is only "in our heads" ?


(and everyone else I know)

Speak for yourself unreal, it could be a good start i think !

And to illustrate what i speak about, here it is a video.
There are two casts in it, the first fail and the second success.
