Dissapointed that this is not on test

[Crotalus]

or has been mentioned by sigil.

Dot's on the pvp servers are broken and have been for some time. Is sigil even aware of this? I have not seen a single post from them adressing the issue.

Has a bug been filed on this by the in game /bug form?

I've not seen it but I also do not play on the environment where it is occurring. I also do not know that Test is PvP enabled. It may be, but with such a small population it may be that we just have not engaged in that type of testing yet.

I would recommend filing the in game /bug with as much information as you have, including what you have tried the DoT's on (other players/mobs/etc), how the damage is different, what manner you used to get the information, PvE servers that you have tested the same DoTs on and what the results were there.

I'm not saying this to be difficult, but as a tester myself, I know how valuable detailed repro steps and additional information is when presented with a bug.

Test isn't PvP enabled. Does it show up in duels also so we could possibly test?

Let me edit what I just posted. After trolling the boards, I found this thread

http://www.vanguardspheres.com/forum...bugs-list.html

the information contained therein should be more than enough to go on. It also looks like they have performed some solid tests of their own. I think I will add this thread to the FAQ and hope that we can bring it to Sigil's QA team's attention

Thank you Naiya,
I have done the /bug on this as well as numerous other people I know. This bug first appeared when they did game update 1. It has been happening ever since then and has been /buged dailey.
We have also done a /petition although never hear anything from the company so I decided to come here. The game is not playable in its current state for those on a pvp server.
The dots work in pve properly. Although in pvp we tested the dot's of the following class's by having a target logged in on a box next to us.

Druid = 0 damage taken by target player
Psio = 0 damage taken by target player
Sorc = 0 damage taken by target player
DreadKnight = 0 damage taken by target player
Cleric = 0 damage taken by target player
The direct damage portion from the melee class's did still affect the target although the dot portion did not with the exception of the druids earthen brute although it is not a true dot.

The charecters were levles 28, 26, 28, 27, 28 the target charecter was the 28 cleric and the druid when it was the clerics turn for a few free shots.

Rest assured we are aware of this issue on the PvP servers.

Something changed in todays update for the team based pvp servers. DOT's are apparently working on them now. Althugh the FFA pvp server is still unplayable.

Hopefully this not the fix Namdarie mentioned Good News code might have a fix for this by mondays push to test server. "Might". key word sadly is might . Hopefully we can get some clarification in this long before then.

not sure when Namdarie's message went up (and too busy atm to look so please forgive my oversight) but it's the weekend. Unless the QA team is going to work all weekend to test and push the patch (and if their environment is like mine at work - that means THREE tests on THREE different enviros) you may not get an update on this until Monday morning.

I guess the long and short of my post is, it's the weekend. please take that into consideration when making expectations

Ahh, thats to bad was hoping that some one would be working on it even over the weekend.

O well I keep forgeting that not every one works all the time.
