Minor updates

[Summerstream]

It appears to just be something that slipped through the cracks when the SVN was updated. Its not quite a bug, but its also not working as intended.

Only thing this really causes is something that's just a little bit ridiculous.

The residential code monkeys are probably working on something.

[GM-Garr]

Nope. We prefer to leave OP things untouched. Just for the fun ^_^

Try to practice switching to cranial. Friendly advise homie

OMG Garr! You turned into a monkey! Where is that dragon blood of yours!?

*imagining a monkey dragon*

Just to prove Elemental Sword's balance, I asked GM-Garr to spawn a gourd (1k HP, takes 1 dmg from all sources).

In the video on the link below, you can see how the monster goes from 1,000 HP to 955 HP on a single cast. So it's casting more bolts than we thought, totaling at 45 simultaneous bolts. If that doesn't prove to some that it is broken/overpowered/imbalanced, then there's nothing else for me to really post as nothing will change their minds.

So when you cast any type of cold bolt you start the chain of lvl3 bolts, and of course when you are using 2 Elemental sword chain transform into: 1 Cold Bolt (Actual Cast)->2 Fire Bolt (Auto Cast from each of Elemental Sword) -> 4 Lightning Bolts (Auto Cast) -> 8 Earth Spike (Auto Cast) = Total 15 lvl3 bolts casted (For those who can't understand that - google picture "ragnarok 2 elemetal swords").
It's not a rare to nerf it for non official servers, but HeRo not a new server as i noticed, so such behavior of elemental sword is traditional for server, rigth? And more over someone create special card for that build "eye of surtur"

noob, FB+Thara+CK = 50% reduct, still drops me with 18k hp (1hko)
I haven't tried with BG set, but considering that's 50% demi-human resist +WoE reduct... it's just retarded... + bragi = spammable... and NO item was used (AD/PB)... Even Asura strike would require Blue pots for sp or FS from Ninja's require White pot spam...

#fixthescript or bring back bubblegum + Ghosting/god poring spawns before nerfing.

This is not how its supposed to work. A single cold bolt cast is supposed to trigger a single spell of all the others, irregardless of if you are wielding two swords or not. As Hercules SVN interprets this script, it is triggering 45 bolts total, which you have shown. This, however, did not happen when the server was using eAthena SVN. Hercules is based off of eAthena, and is therefore not exactly what eAthena had implemented in the past.

We started using Hercules about two years ago.

Changing the server's SVN can cause things like this to slip through the cracks. It is not uncommon for certain items and skills to no longer work as intended due to a SVN update, as the code to compile the SVN can differ greatly from update to update.

As for the Eye of Surtur card, it is like the Imp to the Fire Bolt, and the Siroma to the Cold Bolt. There is no official card that boosts Lightning Bolt, so heRO's solution was to implement this particular card to fill that void. There's no special build revolving around Lightning Bolt.

Then reset to bolter sinx and stop crying

[ChaosPrince]

If someone is NOT INTENDED to work like that and ABUSED, it's the same than exploiting bots. #BANHAMMER.

Another update: what happened to HomuAI? And there is a bug with the homu's... even in aggressive/patrol mode, he would attack the target monster unless it's MOVING or USING a skill... anyone?

[GM-Garr]

even in aggressive/patrol mode

Umm. Those are 2 different modes, aggressive mode is aggressive, passive mode is when homun patrols around if it's full HP.
