MVPs being immune to SG

So some MVPs (regular spawn only) somehow manage to be immune to Storm Gust and only Storm Gust. MVPs like Moonie, Gloom or Skoll who have no business to be immune, really.
This seems to have gotten worse with higher server uptime according to someone I talked to and verified this with.
When checking this I was able to hit the slaves just fine so no LP shenanigans either and other area spells like LoV also worked.
Would be real nice if this could be looked into. Thanks <3

RE: MVPs being immune to SG

I'd like to add that it's not even entirely consistent which MVPs are affected, and also that this might extend to Magnus Exorcismus for applicable MVPs (I didn't do any testing this time around but I know I was completely missing Lich Afanasy on a different/earlier server boot).

Doesn't seem to affect any other mob types, just MVPs, and only noticed with natural spawns (BB'd ones were always fine), and higher server uptime without reboot seems to make this possible to happen in the first place (which makes me think it might have something to do with the persistence of MVPs when no one's on the map which is not the case for other monsters).

as for this boot... here's some MVPs I went and tested

"fine" (could hit with SG)
amon ra
atroce (n,ne,nw,s; couldn't find the sw one)
drake
evil snake lord
gloom under night (but have seen it ignore on previous boots)
both god poring spawns
gopinich (but have seen it ignore on previous boots)
leak
lich afanasy (but have seen it ignore on previous boots)
midnight jack
pharaoh
phreeoni
rsx

"not fine" (completely ignored SG - note that 2 of these are fire element which would be great for SG if it actually, you know, worked)
golden thief bug
maya
moonlight flower
osiris
zealotus (event)

also this seems to be map specific; while dark lord is not available on his usual GH map right now I recall being able to SG that one... while the one in gd was ignoring SG (again, this is from a previous boot)

It might not be affecting too many MVPs presently (at least that I tested) but... well, imagine if Asura Strike or Double Strafe (for example) were suddenly missing a bunch of MVPs for seemingly no reason... somehow I doubt most people maining Champs and Snipers would be happy about that Icon_razz

Yeah its a glitch that sometimes happens and i dont know why or how it happen.
The past year i heard/saw orc lord and rsx too being SG-glitched.
I think it affects only Storm Gust...

RE: MVPs being immune to SG

Add Skoll to your list of working mvps for SG, I just did it the other day with no issue (and have been for awhile).

I never noticed this bug since Vanira's mvp's listed so far I usually don't bother with on HW. >_<

RE: MVPs being immune to SG

yeah I somehow forgot to put skoll on there (I did check/kill him - blame doing this late and being a bit sleepy) but he has also been bugged for me in the past - pretty rude of him seeing as I daresay SG is the best way to go kill him Icon_razz

More like just one particular class edging out every other class for mvping Icon_razz
