Castle BDP battle map cameras are borked on the map with the pillar in the center.

On battle start, the camera for all players will be placed onto the center of the map right in the middle of the pillar, meaning you can only see the five stone pillars tiles and everything else is black.

The same issue as a spectator trying to watch a battle on one of those maps, no one can see what's going on.

Counter edge appears to be adding 5/10/15 damage to counter attacks, instead of 15/20/25.  See four different Quick Draw attacks with Sheath Sword below, each with varying ranks of Counter Edge:

Hisen's potential doesn't seem to factor in weapon crit damage modifiers or weapon crit chance for Hidden Cut's chance to crit.
Other crit buffs might also not apply to Hisen Hidden Cut - all I could test with was Poise, which didn't work.

The first point is important as the Hisen has an innate 125% crit modifier. The second part is important because without weapon crit or crit buffs, this thing isn't going to crit anything with even a mote of crit evade.



We're looking at the Critical check and the Critical hit multi of these debug logs. This is a basic attack! All very well and good.



Hisen's Hidden Cut is down by 25 on the Critical hit multi and 27 on the Critical check! If we look at the Hisen in question...



125% Crit multiplier and 27 critical, the values absent for Hidden Cut. Hence, Hidden Cut doesn't use any value from the weapon other than SWA.

This makes sense since Hidden Cut has only ever had the potential to Lightning Crit before, which works off of a different, pre-existing calculation that has been on many skills, whereas raw, regular skill critting like this is new and Hidden Cut has never had any need to draw on such values.

I'm electing to assume this is a bug because, while most other skills that can crit either have fixed crit damage modifiers, (Flame Art: Explosion and Dancer (i've never played dancer so this could be wrong)) or scale off of something other than GUI (Lightning Crits), they also use crit chance buffs and weapon values, unless I'm mistaken. They should do if they don't, but you didn't hear it from me!

Ranger's Twin Shot might also be subject to this if it works similarly, but I'll limit this to Hisen alone for now.

Aerial Attacker's bonus to power appears to be scaling based on the power of your weapon.

With 59 Scaled SAN for what should be a total bonus of +18 (17.7 + 1, rounded down) I get this instead:



^Using a 100 SWA weapon, my power goes from 100 to 117. About within expectations, right?



^Using a 200 SWA weapon you can see where the problem is. I'm getting +35 Power for being airborne when I should be getting +18. The bonus is doubled (17.7x2=35.4, rounded down for 35) after having doubled the initial SWA.

So it's safe to say that currently Aerial Attacker is scaling its power bonus based on the power of the attack used, instead of being a flat power bonus based off your Scaled SAN.

So turns out you can't break down Boulder items to obtain its material. Unsure if this applies to the other newer materials.

For some reason, the camera view for those in the party members is currently bugged (Not updating/Adjusting). It does not update when they enter certain battle maps or certain area.

For example, Sea of Cloud's entrance or Castle battle map.

Before this update, in v2.68 or prior, pressing Say or Emote as a macro (bind say to T, and press it) would automatically bring up the speech bubble.
Now, the speech bubble will not appear if you press them as a macro or directly type them into the command bar, only if you explicitly do Say text or so on in the command bar.

I presume this behavior isn't intended to be like this.

Replicate:
1. Bind Say to T as a macro.
2. Press T.
3. Say Bubble doesn't appear.

Accepted the laPlace request Enchanting Practice. Simple objective: Enchant any item (0/1)

Well, it doesn't register. 

Enchanting an item or creating one through the enchanting skill doesn't fulfill the objective, not at the mage's guild enchanting table, the mage's guild shopkeeper or with the portable science kit.

This may actually be an older bug no one's noticed until now, possibly introduced with the crafting update. It may have affected the other laPlace requests as well.

I have two coupled suggestions today!



As of current, even if someone has the Quiet Person trait, you can still hear their horrid "seems to say something" message from THIS far away.
Quiet Person 'mumbling' shouldn't be able to be heard from this distance, given the purpose of the trait, so I would like to ask that Quiet Person also lower the distance you're able to be heard from at all - like how Loud Person extends it just a bit - and not just to be able to see the meat of someone's post.
(I had this happen on live, but it'd be a dick move to just post someone I don't know's stuff, so I just remade it on testing to show what I mean.)


Hand-in-hand, I think a lot of people also would really appreciate these options finally being added to new chat more visibly and appropriately, as Quiet Person is extremely spammy, especially when someone tends to send a burst of small posts with the trait... but I don't even think a lot of people realize that these work for new chat now.
