Suddenly *someone* places something in your back!
You are dead! Sorry...
You feel the Weave of the Wheel loosen from you.
Ouch! You lose a level.
You stop following Rodger.

And this stab was from damaged Myzec ... HOW!? What's wrong with game?

[Shinobi]

Perks of a half-tic in the middle of combat. What doesn't make sense is that Myzec regained more than a fireball's worth of damage in a half tic.

Don't understand how you're seeing an engaged prompt. Potentially miscommunication with client. But, because your timer is rolling your engaged with Khosis past his leaving the room because you've still got a prompt buffered.

Chance of this recurring in a world where the amount of thieves in a PK session is low.

[Darlana]

1) I seriously doubt Myzec regained on half-tic more hps than fball at 80 degree weather
2) I was not on Khosis before for like for 2 tics, and this prompt was from mud.

[Darlana]

And only explain i can understand why Khosis in prompt is that Reen was on Myzec, Myzec was grouped and fball hit on Myzec brought me on to Khosis cause of group.
But more over this explain does not explain why i got stabed and gives one more reason why i should not be stabed.

[Thore]

Has half tic regen been around since the game's beginning or was it a coding change? I believe it accounts for some weave timers going through despite the channie getting hit (even quite hard). Seems like the math is bugged or something.

[Weir]

It was a coding change probably about 10 years ago now. Back when they upped trolloc regen.

I feel what likely was the case here was simply Point of No Return/visual client bug, rather than any amount of regen. I don't see someone not getting interrupted by a fireball due to HP loss for anything other than PoNR. I think the Khosis line is likely something client-side.

[Rig]

Oh yes, I love when channies don't engage before weaving, free blicks.

[Elysia]

I'm not even going to pretend I'm knowledgable enough to explain this.

It looks like ponr or buggy prompt messages to me.

Either way, even if we could figure out what it is, I doubt it will be fixed.

[Shzrei]

PONR stab where her Fball would have engaged her on Myzec but instead results in faceoff to Khosis, Stab is done on PONR before any calculation of her being engaged but the prompt reads engaged to Khosis because its the last thing that goes through in a round.

I think.

[Aardvolf]

Did Khosis sneak back in? Not that it has anything to do with the bug, just wondering if Khosis had come back in to receive the faceoff reassign?
